Chapter 80: Scratched by a little fox
Hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Jiang Yu suddenly leaned his head closer and said in a tone that she could hear:
"From now on, I will also be your backer!"
Su Wan turned around and saw his sincere face. He was serious and not joking.
The boss took the initiative to be her backer, what a great feeling.
Su Wan nodded quickly and smiled brightly.
"good!"
When Jiang Yu saw her smile, he felt a little excited inside, a kind of excitement that he couldn't explain.
He was still keen on rubbing Xiaobai's head. Ever since Xiaobai got on the ox cart, he had been teasing it and touching it. Su Wan couldn't stand it anymore and stuffed Xiaobai into his arms.
Jiang Yu obviously didn't expect her to take this step and was a little stunned. After all, touching someone with hands is different from holding her in his arms.
The puppy doesn't look dirty, but it actually rolls in the dirt every day. Jiang Yu resisted for a few seconds, but after seeing Su Wan's smirk, he felt he could accept it.
He deliberately held the puppy in his arms and teased it, scratching its chin, and glancing at Su Wan from time to time, as if he was teasing Su Wan.
How could Su Wan let him take advantage of her like this?
So, she suddenly had an idea and made a hooking gesture towards Jiang Yu. Don't get me wrong, her motive was very simple.
Jiang Yu didn't know what tricks she had up her sleeve, but he cooperated and moved closer, neither too close nor too far, keeping a proper distance.
"Come closer!" Su Wan whispered. On the other side, Su Mu tilted his head and ate melon, not knowing what tricks the two of them were going to play.
Jiang Yu thought for a second and was a little confused about her motives. The hibiscus fragrance on her body was carried into his nose by the wind, disturbing his thoughts. He obediently moved closer.
The next second, a warm and soft little hand came to his chin and gently scratched it twice, making his heart tremble.
"Good boy~"
It turned out that Su Wan was teasing him like a puppy. This girl looked well-behaved, but in fact, her thorns were hidden under her fur, and she would not suffer any loss.
Jiang Yu was both angry and amused, laughing at himself for being outmaneuvered by her.
Su Wan's trick worked, he looked proud and showed off his arrogance to his second brother.
Su Mu shook his head helplessly and chuckled:
"What a little girl who hasn't grown up!" His tone was somewhat doting when he said this.
It was not a bright afternoon, there was not even any sun in the sky, and the sky was a little foggy. Apart from the wind, there was nothing special about it.
For Jiang Yu, the only special thing was that he was scratched by a little fox today.
…
After returning home, Su Mu moved his brothers' things back into their room.
Xiaobai was afraid that it would run around when it first arrived, so he simply kept it in the house.
Su Wan was preparing to make soap and was about to go out to get a bundle of straw to make alkaline water. Just as she went out, she saw He Jiaoxing running towards her, looking back every few steps, as if someone was chasing her.
When she saw Su Wan, she ran up and held Su Wan's hand as if she had seen a savior, her eyes full of longing. Looking at her appearance, her eyes were swollen from crying, and there were obvious slap marks on her face.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Wan asked her while steadying her.
But it was useless to ask. She just babbled and Su Wan couldn't understand a word she said. He could only tell that she was very anxious.
"Jiao Xing, come back here!"
Dazaohua appeared with a few men and chased after them, scaring Jiao Xing so much that she hid behind Su Wan.
Seeing Dazaohua getting closer and closer, she was almost in despair and grabbed Su Wan's arm tightly.
Su Wan frowned because she hurt herself.
"Su Wan, please move aside for a moment. Auntie will take Jiao Xing home!"
Dazaohua was still thinking about her eldest brother becoming her son-in-law, so even though she was very angry, she spoke to Su Wan in a friendly manner.
"Aunt, what's going on? What's going on? Look how scared Jiao Xing is. If you have anything to say, just talk it out nicely!" Su Wan asked her with a smile, not wanting to hit someone who smiles at you.
"It's just a family matter. I found a marriage for Jiao Xing, but she didn't want to. The man is very good, handsome, kind, and his family is well-off. She was not happy with it and ran away. Isn't this disrespectful to him?" Dazaohua explained, and was about to go around Su Wan to pull Jiao Xing.
Su Wan guessed it from what he heard from the aunties by the river. Their family found a lame old bachelor for He Jiaoxing.
According to the unspoken rules of blind dates, a person with good looks means healthy facial features, being caring means being older, and a well-off family means a large betrothal gift.
"Jiao Xing is still young, and her sister Jiao Lan hasn't married yet. She is not in a hurry. It's not too late to wait for another two years!" She deliberately brought up He Jiao Lan. The older one hasn't married yet, so what's the matter with the younger one?
"You don't know, her sister already has a lover!" The jujube flower is still there as a prelude!
Su Mu heard the noise outside the yard and hurried out to check, but Jiang Yu couldn't show up because he was also on alert in the next room!
"What's going on?" Su Mu saw this scene and didn't know what happened, so he asked Su Wan.
"Second brother, Aunt Zaohua wants to arrange a marriage for Jiaoxing, but Jiaoxing is not happy and refuses to go back." Su Wan told the truth.
Su Mu was not in a position to interfere in women's affairs, but seeing He Jiaoxing's pitiful appearance, he had guessed that she was not a good man, at least she herself did not like him.
"Aunt, you didn't force Jiaolan even though she had a lover. Why do you insist on forcing Jiaoxing even though she's not happy?"
Su Wan didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now He Jiaoxing was holding her and wouldn't let go, and she couldn't just let her go. As a woman, she could empathize with her and was ready to help her out, but it was impossible to expect her to take care of the matter.
When asked by Su Wan, Dazaohua's face froze, her eyes rolled around, and then she started acting:
"Well, you know Jiao Xing's situation. She is a mute, and it is not easy for her to find a relative. Now she has finally found someone who does not despise her. As her mother, I am doing this for her, not to harm her!" Dazaohua pretended to be embarrassed.
"My aunt found one for her, but it's the one that Aunt Zhao and the others mentioned, the one who is nearly 30 years old and whose legs and feet are not very flexible." Su Wan's tone was quite gentle, neither arrogant nor impatient. He asked her as if he was chatting normally. Using this attitude to say the words would not offend anyone, but would still be able to stump them.
As expected, Dazao Huayu was choked and didn't know how to explain for a moment. Her face looked quite ugly, but she was trying hard to hold on.
Unexpectedly, this gossip had already reached Su Wan's ears, and she was indeed in the wrong.
"Oh~ It's not as exaggerated as you say. I already said Jiao Xing's situation is different. With her congenital defects, she can only be matched with this. As long as she is good to her, it's fine!"
Dazaohua was getting a little impatient. She even called several nephews to come and catch He Jiaoxing. The man was still waiting at home. She was anxious, afraid that the matter would fail.
After all, they are willing to pay thirty taels of betrothal gift!
