Huang called a relative's child from the old Su family and handed him a piece of red paper. "Here, take it to the young Su family and tell them that it's from me, their aunt, who gave it to them. Aren't they supposed to write the couplets themselves? If they don't have paper, they won't be able to write. Don't blame me, their aunt, for not being able to afford a piece of paper!"
Is this a question of whether you can afford a piece of paper?
You are really vicious! Knowing that Su Pangya couldn't write a couplet at all, you just wanted to show off, but you still wanted to send her a piece of paper?
Now, she didn't even have the opportunity to say "I want to write, but I have no paper."
The villagers were amazed in their hearts but could not say anything on the surface. They were still waiting to ask for Mr. Chen's couplet!
"Sister, please listen to my advice and just forget it." Fang said.
Huang smiled and said, "I really don't mean anything else. If she can't write it, it's good to cut it into a window paper-cut, isn't it?"
Having said that, Fang could no longer persuade him and could only let Tiedan send the red paper to Xiao Su's house.
Unexpectedly, a short while later, the ten-year-old Tiedan came back with red paper in his arms: "Pangya said she doesn't want it, she has one herself."
Just now when she said she wrote the couplets, the villagers didn't believe her. Now when she said she had red paper, the villagers didn't believe her even more.
Huang said, "Well, forget it. After all, I am your aunt. Why should I get angry with a little girl? Hao'er, write a couplet and send it to Dayu."
The couplets she sent were fake, but she was really going to see Su Pangya's joke. This time, Huang was determined to fight Su Pangya to the end! Su Jinniang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Daya can't write, but she has a husband."
Huang said sarcastically, "You mean the one who followed the Li family to learn farming? He is just an embroidered pillow, good-looking but useless!"
"He can read." Su Jinniang paused and explained, "I saw him reading a letter to Daya."
Huang said disdainfully: "Who knows if he is just reading nonsense? If he really knows how to read, can he learn to farm?"
Zhou, who lived next door to the old Su family, agreed: "Yes, if he has that ability, how can he become Su Pangya's son-in-law?"
This time the villagers really couldn't refute it.
Although they admitted that Wei Ting was handsome, that was only his appearance. His ability was definitely not as good as Chen Xiucai's.
Su Jinniang frowned and went to her room silently. -Xiao Su's house.
The three little ones went to find Old Man Su, they wanted to poop.
Su Ergou poured the water in the bucket into the water tank and continued to fetch water at the village entrance.
Su Xiaoxiao knocked on Wei Ting's door.
"Come in." Wei Ting said.
Su Xiaoxiao walked in with a smile on her face.
Wei Ting wiped the dagger at the bedside.
The dagger was taken from him by Old Man Su when he tied him up and was returned to him later.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the blade that was flashing with cold light, and almost instinctively felt a murderous aura.
This dagger is very sharp!
From the very beginning, the two of them had been in a situation where you didn't trust me and I also doubted you, so Wei Ting was too lazy to pretend to be harmless in front of her.
Wei Ting continued to wipe the dagger: "What are you doing here?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Don't worry, I'm not looking for you to crush peanuts."
Today is the Little New Year, so I'll let you take a day off! She came to the bedside and handed the hot tea in her left hand to Wei Ting: "Are you thirsty?"
Seeing that Wei Ting didn't say anything, he handed him a plate of egg yolk pastry in his right hand and asked, "Are you hungry? Is your shoulder sore? Does your waist hurt?"
Hearing this familiar line, Wei Ting didn't even ask her if she had something to ask for again. Instead, he said directly, "Why? You want to throw it away after use again?"
"You have also learned to sum up your experience..."
Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.
She smiled slightly, put down the snacks and hot tea, patted his shoulder, and said like a brother: "Look at you, what are you talking about?"
Wei Ting said calmly: "Human words."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No, no! I promise not to throw it away this time! How can I bear to throw away a handsome husband like you when I haven't even eaten him yet!"
Listen, listen, does this sound like something a girl would say?
Wei Ting was choked by her shameless and bold words, and gritted his teeth and said, "What a mess you think about all day long!"
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I don't allow you to say that about yourself!"
Wei Ting: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao's purpose was actually very simple, which was to ask Wei Ting to write couplets.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, it would be so festive if we put up two pairs of couplets!"
Wei Ting said coldly: "I don't want to write now, I'll write it tomorrow."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Today, today!"
Wei Ting asked, "Why does it have to be today?"
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around: "Because... today is the Little New Year?"
Wei Ting chuckled and said, "I think you made a bet with someone?"
Su Xiaoxiao blinked: "Uh... you know?"
How could they not know? Su Ergou's loud voice was heard by people in the next village.
Su Ergou had already said the harsh words, and Su Xiaoxiao was now in a difficult situation. If she couldn't come up with a pair of couplets, she would lose face.
"Will you write?"
"No." Wei Ting refused.
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Are you really not going to write it?"
Wei Ting said calmly: "If you say you won't write it, then don't write it."
Su Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and said, "You really want to see me embarrassed, right? Don't forget, you are my husband! If I lose face, you won't be any better off!"
Wei Ting said calmly: "I don't care."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao thought it was Xiao Wu who came over, so she glared at Wei Ting angrily and turned to open the door.
But who knew that it was Su Jinniang who came.
Su Jinniang was wearing a brand new light pink floral cotton coat and a white embroidered jacket. To be honest, the pink she wore was not the authentic kind, which was very picky about people's skin color.
If the foundation is slightly worse, it will most likely appear dark and earthy.
But Su Jinniang's beauty can hold up.
The most beautiful flower in the whole area is not called that for nothing.
"Why are you coming to my house?" Su Xiaoxiao asked indifferently.
She didn't think that she and Su Jinniang could have any private interactions. Su Jinniang's sudden visit clearly showed that she came for no reason.
Su Jinniang glanced in the direction of the courtyard and the main hall: "Are you alone in your home?"
"Who are you looking for?" Su Xiaoxiao's logic was clear and she didn't waste any more words with him.
Su Jinniang frowned, not knowing whether it was because she disliked Su Xiaoxiao's attitude or for some other reason.
"Here you go." Su Jinniang uncovered the cloth on the basket and handed a roll of red paper to Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao unfolded it and saw that it was actually a couplet.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely: "Su Jinniang, what do you mean?"
Su Jinniang said: "Su Daya, I am here to help you, you don't have to be so hostile to me!"
Her voice was a little loud.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "You, Su Jinniang, help me?"
Su Jinniang was ostracized as a child, and she never asked her friends in the village to play with her. Why did she suddenly become so kind?
Su Jinniang said sternly, "You just contradicted your aunt in front of so many people. She will come to laugh at you soon. You can use this couplet. It is not as good as Mr. Chen's. After all, I bought it from the town. It is enough to deal with your aunt!"
The village girl's behavior is really strange. He scolded her last time, and now he comes to help her again.
Su Jinniang continued, "Go and tell your husband and ask him to say that he wrote it. That should help."
Su Xiaoxiao folded her arms and said, "Su Jinniang, my aunt is your future mother-in-law. Why don't you side with her and secretly come to help me?"
Su Jinniang frowned and said, "My marriage has not been decided yet, so I may not marry into the Chen family."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Oh, is that what your family means too?"
"Just worry about yourself! Your aunt will be here soon! It's up to you whether you want to abandon this person or not!"
After that, Su Jinniang left without looking back, regardless of whether Su Xiaoxiao wanted to accept the couplet or not! She seemed to be walking very fast, but in fact, she had been paying attention to the movements of Xiao Su's family.
She heard Su Pangya close the back door, and the man's face flashed through her mind, and her heart was pounding.
He...should have heard it, right? He knew that I was here to help, right? Would he be grateful to me? Su Xiaoxiao took the couplet to Wei Ting's house.
Wei Ting was still wiping the dagger.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "It's already shiny, no need to wipe it!"
Wei Ting said: "I like it."
Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips and threw the couplet on the table in front of him.
"What?" Wei Ting asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "The couplet was given by Su Jinniang! How strange! She obviously has a bad relationship with me and even exposed my shortcomings in front of you last time, but today she comes to help me!"
"You didn't ask her why." To be honest, Wei Ting was not very interested.
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands and said, "I did ask! I told her that my aunt is your future mother-in-law, shouldn't you help her? Guess what she said? She said that she might not marry Chen Xiucai! What is Su Jinniang up to? Oh, and she also told me to make sure I said it was you who wrote the couplet! She was very thoughtful. We are a family of three that can't read, and you are the only son-in-law from another place who can tell this lie."
Wei Ting said: "The ink of the couplet I just wrote is wet. In this weather, it won't dry in half a day."
Su Xiaoxiao looked thoughtful: "You are right, then even if Su Jinniang gave it to me, it would be useless! I will still be exposed! I thought she was so smart, but it turns out she is just like that!"
Wei Ting looked at a certain chubby girl and said, "With your brain, how can you do business? You are so stupid!"
Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said angrily, "Who are you calling stupid? You won't write it anyway! I will be laughed at if I can't produce it! So what if I am exposed? It doesn't matter!"
Bang! She slammed the door and went out!
“Bring it here!”
Wei Ting said in a deep voice.
"Pour your own water! Get your own food!"
"Paper."
"Hmm? What did you say, husband?" Su Xiaoxiao switched to a loli voice in a second, pushed the door open a crack, stuck her little head in, and blinked at him.
No one can change his expression so quickly.
Wei Ting's mouth twitched, and he asked coldly: "Will you write the couplet or not?"
"Hehe, my husband is the best!" Su Xiaoxiao smiled and went to the main room to get the red paper.
The writing brush and ink were bought when he wrote the medicine for Mr. Xiang, and had been kept in Wei Ting's room ever since.
"Grind the ink." Wei Ting said expressionlessly.
"Okay!" Su Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile.
She took out the inkstone and ink block, and while grinding the ink, she said earnestly: "I think Su Jinniang may not have deliberately wanted me to be exposed. She was probably just eager to help others and didn't think too much. We still have to be grateful to her, especially you, my husband. Don't have a bad impression of her because of this incident."
Wei Ting glanced at her with a complicated expression. This girl, does she understand everything in her heart?
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head decisively and sobbed: "I don't understand anything. I'm just an innocent poor kid!"
“…”
Su Xiaoxiao, who was in a bad mood, was kicked out by Wei Ting——
