"Come, give me your household registration and I'll keep it for you."
After walking a distance, Xue Huan stretched out her hand, and Pei Ji handed the household registration document in his arms to her.
She looked at the sky. It was already mid-afternoon, but both purposes of this trip had been successfully achieved.
Now that Pei Ji's identity has been confirmed and he has a house, everything is ready. The next step is to go through the process of a fake marriage.
Xue Huan took Pei Ji to Bajiao Street for some shopping, and finally bought a donkey cart. Under the gorgeous sunset glow, they drove the donkey cart on their way home.
It took us nearly two hours to get there, but the donkey cart ride back was much faster, and we got home in less than an hour.
Of course, this was also due to the fact that Xue Huan fed the donkey a drop of spiritual spring water. After drinking the spiritual spring water, the donkey became obedient and smart, and ran very vigorously.
When she arrived at the door of her house, Xue Huan found that there were many people gathered outside. She looked towards the gate first and saw that it was still closed, so she felt relieved.
"Hey, Hua Ni'er is back!"
"He's still sitting in a car, Hua Ni'er, did your family buy a car?"
Xue Huan replied, "I didn't buy it. It belongs to my brother Akang."
At her signal, Pei Ji calmly got out of the car first and reached out to help her down.
Because the Xue family lived in a relatively remote area of the village and Pei Ji rarely went out on weekdays, most villagers only heard of him but had never seen him.
When they saw the real person, the girls and wives' eyes lit up. What a handsome young man!
"Huani'er, he is your father's apprentice? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Xue Huan brought out the words she had used to deal with Guan Yue before, modified them slightly, and added a lot of details, making it sound more realistic.
For a moment, the villagers looked at Pei Ji with a bit more surprise, but no one doubted Xue Huan's words.
At this time, a group of people separated from the villagers and came to Xue Huan.
The leader was a rather wealthy middle-aged man, followed by a young man with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, drooling at his mouth. Xue Lianhua was also there.
She came up and complained, "Huani'er, what's wrong with your mother? She's clearly at home but she doesn't even open the door. She's locked Master Liu and Young Master Liu out. What a shame! Go and ask your mother to open the door. Master Liu is an honored guest."
Turning to Mr. Liu, he gave another flattering smile: "Master Liu, this is my second niece. I was right, wasn't she? She is absolutely stunning. There is no girl prettier than her in this whole area. When she marries into the Liu family, I guarantee she will give birth to a fair, plump, and handsome young master."
Xue Huan was disgusted by her words. "Auntie, who are you? You might be suffering from hysteria. Don't try to claim kinship with me here."
Xue Lianhua's mouth was twisted with anger, "You bitch——"
Halfway through her words, she remembered that she was in front of Mr. Liu. Fortunately, she stopped talking and gave a slightly twisted smile: "You kid, I am your aunt. We just met a few days ago."
Xue Huan looked at her carefully and pretended to be surprised. "So it was you, Auntie, that day. I thought it was some crazy woman who came to my house. She scolded my mother and me for no reason, calling me a bitch all the time, and even asked my mother for flowers. I wondered how my aunt could be so shameless, but I didn't know..."
She shook her head, looking really surprised.
Xue Lianhua was so angry that she was about to spit out crap, but Liu Yuanwai raised his hand to stop her.
He looked Xue Huan up and down, paying special attention to her chest and abdomen. His sticky gaze made Xue Huan feel uncomfortable, as if bugs were crawling on her body.
His silly son even reached out to pull Xue Huan, shouting, "Wife, hey, give me a big fat baby."
Saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth while he spoke, which was so disgusting.
Xue Huan took a step back to avoid his hand. The fool wanted to get closer, but Pei Ji reached out and pushed him away, "Don't come over here."
The fool staggered after being pushed, and sat down on the ground, crying loudly, "Wow, Dad, he bullied me! Quick, get someone to beat him up! Beat him to death!"
Mr. Liu ignored his silly son's crying and fixed his gaze on Xue Huan. He spoke in a superior tone, "Are you the eldest daughter of the Xue family?"
Xue Huan's expression was indifferent: "Yes, I wonder what can I do for you, Master Liu?"
Mr. Liu raised his chin slightly and stretched out his arm, "Bring it up." Immediately, a servant brought over two boxes.
When the boxes were opened, one box contained cloth and silk, and the other box contained shiny jewelry and gold and silver.
The villagers watching nearby couldn't help but exclaim.
Especially the women, they couldn't take their eyes off the things in the box.
Mr. Liu was very satisfied with the effect of the two boxes of things, and a look of satisfaction could not help but show on his face, "Ms. Xue, these two boxes of things are the betrothal gifts from my Liu family to you."
He fully expected Xue Huan to show an expression of shock and ecstasy, but she remained expressionless, not even raising her eyelids. "Mr. Liu, this is ridiculous! When did I ever agree to marry into your Liu family? Take the things away! Don't leave them here blocking the way. Brother Kang, let's go in."
After walking a few steps, Xue Lianhua called out from behind, "Xue Huan, you have to get married even if you don't want to. Your grandma has already agreed. Your father is not around, and as your aunt, I can't bear to see you being delayed and becoming an old maid at home, so I took the trouble to find a good family for you."
"The Liu family is such a good family. They own several shops and have a ton of servants and maids. If you marry into their family, you'll be the young lady. Don't be ungrateful!"
These words were exactly the same as what Old Lady Xue said when she persuaded Xue's mother to remarry Qian Dazhi. Xue Lianhua and Old Lady Xue were indeed mother and daughter, and their disgusting methods were exactly the same.
Xue Huan turned around and said, "The Xue family has already split up. My parents' orders are final, and my mother has the final say on my marriage. It's not my grandmother's turn to interfere, and it's certainly not your turn as a married aunt to make decisions. If you think the Liu family is good, then marry your daughter there. Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to become relatives of the Liu family? As for my marriage, "
She held Pei Ji's hand and raised it up so that everyone could see their clasped hands.
"My brother Akang has always wanted to repay my father, but he never found the opportunity. Now that my father is gone, he has decided to marry me so that I can help take good care of my mother and my two younger siblings. The wedding will be held in three days. I invite all the uncles, aunts and sisters to come and have a drink at the wedding."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mr. Liu's face instantly became extremely ugly. He felt as if his face had been torn off and stepped on the ground.
The other party is still a teenage girl.
He was extremely angry and glared at Xue Huan gloomily. Then he flicked his sleeves and left with his silly son and the servants.
Xue Lianhua was left behind and quickly chased after him, "Master Liu, wait, listen to me——"
Unfortunately, the Liu family's carriage showed no signs of stopping, and even sped up.
It can be seen that Mr. Liu took his anger out on Xue Lianhua, the incompetent introducer.
On the other side, the villagers surrounded Xue Huan and Pei Ji and asked them questions.
They mainly surrounded Pei Ji and asked him questions such as how old he was, whether his family had any land or houses, how many people were in the family, etc.
Pei Ji didn't know how to deal with these overly enthusiastic and gossipy villagers, so he simply used the excuse of driving the donkey cart into the yard to escape.
Xue Huan stayed behind to deal with the villagers.
