Just as Wei Ting said, it was cold and the ink dried slowly. Huang didn't want to get herself covered in ink, so she let Tiedan and the other child hold the ink in their hands.

The ink was still wet when it came over.

The first line of the couplet written by Chen Haoyuan is "Flying snow welcomes the New Year", and the second line is "Firecrackers welcome the New Year", and the horizontal banner reads: "Auspicious snow and a good harvest."

In addition to the two children holding couplets, there were also many villagers who came to watch the fun when they went to Xiao Su's house with Huang.

Huang came to avenge her previous humiliation, and she wished that as many people as possible would come! Zhou, who lived next door to the old Su family, also came to join in the fun.

Zhou was afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Before Huang could say anything, she started shouting, "Pangya Su! Come out quickly! Your aunt has brought you a couplet!"

The villagers surrounded the door of Xiao Su's house. Those who didn't know the situation thought that Su Pangya was having another wedding.

Su Xiaoxiao walked out slowly, holding a half-eaten corn cob. She glanced at everyone and fell on Zhou's high cheekbones. She said, "My aunt gave me a couplet. Why are you so excited? Was it for you? Or did you want to wait until I didn't want it and then pick it up for yourself?"

"You——" Zhou's little secret was exposed, and she felt embarrassed immediately.

The person who loves to gossip the most in the village is Zhou. If it weren't for the three bullies in Su Xiaoxiao's family, Zhou couldn't afford to offend them and who knows what would have happened to Su Xiaoxiao.

Of course, it’s not that she didn’t make any plans, but she just didn’t dare to go too far.

Su Xiaoxiao had a very bad impression of this person, so she would not show any mercy to her.

Zhou's first shot was a dud, it was really useless.

Fortunately, Huang didn't expect Zhou to help her in any way. She came prepared, and it was enough for her to crush the girl to death by herself!

She looked at Su Xiaoxiao and said with a sigh, "Daya, I know that what you just said was all in anger. How can you write a couplet? If you could write, you would have posted it long ago."

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head secretly.

You guys are terrible at making tea and your rhetoric is very poor. Compared to Ms. Li, you are all trash.

They are truly powerful figures in the business world. Even if Su Xiaoxiao only learns a tiny bit of their skills, it is enough to defeat this group of people.

"What if I take it out?" Su Xiaoxiao didn't waste time talking to Huang and went straight to the point, "Does what my aunt just said still count?"

Huang sneered, "Oh, of course it counts! If you can write it, I'll chop off your head!"

Doesn't she know the Su family yet? She can't tell apart any characters except banknotes! Writing couplets? Maybe in the next life! "Okay." Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said to Su Ergou, who was carrying water, "Take the machete."

"Okay!"

Su Ergou put down the bucket and quickly took a butcher knife. "Sister, I can't find my machete. Can I use a butcher knife?"

Everyone was shocked! Huang's face turned pale: "Su Daya! You want to kill someone!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "No, it was my aunt who wanted to chop off her head. I was afraid you didn't have a knife, so I prepared it for you."

Huang said coldly: "Su Daya! You are talking about couplets now! What nonsense!"

"Ergou." Su Xiaoxiao said, "Go to your brother-in-law's room and get the couplets."

There are couplets in my brother-in-law's room? Su Ergou went in confused and came out confused, with half of the couplet hanging on each arm.

Everyone was shocked. No way? Did the Su family really write the couplet?

"Impossible!" Huang would never believe that someone from the Su family could write a couplet, and write it well... She couldn't read, but she could count.

There are obviously more words on this couplet than the one written by her son.

Huang said sharply, "You...you bought it in town, right? That's right! It must be like that! I ran into you going to town this morning! You went to buy couplets, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao's fat fingertip gently tapped the couplet: "Open your eyes and see clearly! The ink isn't even dry yet!"

The villagers came forward to watch.

"Don't touch it!" Su Ergou said fiercely.

Everyone quickly retracted their outstretched fingers.

They could see clearly that the ink was moist and gave off a strong scent of ink, and it was obvious that it had just been written.

And, because they were so close, they made a new discovery.

The couplet paper from Xiao Su’s family...seems to have a more correct color than that of Mr. Chen’s couplet paper!

It is also thicker! Also... it does not become hairy or fade!

The color doesn’t fade! The youngest son of the village head couldn’t help but touch it. It really doesn’t fade!

Chen Haoyuan used the most common red paper, the kind that was colored with a bracket. The quality of the dye was not good, so when he bought it back, the color faded severely. Tiedan and another child who was holding the couplets had their hands and sleeves all red.

In addition, Chen Haoyuan's red paper has rough texture and thin texture. When he draws a stroke, not only does the ink soak through the paper, but the ink also has slight smudges.

The red paper that Su Xiaoxiao brought back from the academy was ordered by President Shen from the capital city at a high price. The base paper is Xuan paper, which uses the finest dyeing technology and has an extra thick layer. It is naturally smooth, does not get soaked, does not fade, and the color is more vermilion and pure.

Dean Shen bought it for Mr. Xiang and he was reluctant to use it himself.

Shen Chuan was very wasteful and took ten of them and asked the old man to give them to Su Xiaoxiao! Even a fool could see that the couplet paper of Xiao Su's family was more than one level higher than that of Chen Xiucai.

What the villagers were thinking was - I heard that Su Pangya and Su Ergou were doing business in the town, could it be that they really made some money?

Huang's face turned green and red, and she was about to explode. "You, you... who knows what you wrote? Can you call it a couplet if you just scribble on it? Then if I buy some paper and scribble on it, can that make up the number?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if my aunt can't read. I'll read it to you."

"First line: All the lakes and seas are covered with spring colors! Second line: All the rivers and mountains are shining! Horizontal banner: All things are renewed!"

She had learned some characters recently, and this couplet happened to be within the scope of her knowledge. If Wei Ting wrote one more new character, she would not be able to recognize it completely.

Everyone gasped.

They must have seen a ghost! Su Pangya recited the couplet? She, Su Pangya, could read?! Is this still the same fat bully who extorts money all day long and is lazy and greedy? Oh my God, oh my God!

Did the sow climb up the tree? Or did the sun rise from the west? Mom, I want to go home! Everyone was shocked! No one in the village spoke for a long time! Su Xiaoxiao likes this effect of "If you don't believe me, I will blind you all!"

She raised her chin, put her hands behind her back, and said proudly, "My husband taught me!"

Okay, actually she learned it secretly, Wei Ting was not so kind as to teach her!

Huang didn't believe it!

How could this damn girl be so lucky? She got a son-in-law who looked like a fairy and was actually a scholar? !

No, no, being able to write does not mean you are an educated person. Some people only learned a few words in their early years, but in the end they still have to dig in the fields for a living.

She had heard from the old Su family that Su Cheng and his new son-in-law often went to the Qian family to farm.

If he really has the talent to write couplets, wouldn't he be able to earn more money by just copying books for others than by farming?

Huang immediately concluded that the words on the couplet were not proper words. Even if they were, they were just like those written by peasants in the countryside who had only received a few years of education. They were pieced together here and there, and who knew what they were about!

As for Su Pangya, she must not have learned the words on the spot, but memorized them in advance! She thought there must be something mysterious here, whether it was Huang's paranoia or she just couldn't bear to see others have an easy life! She said to Tiedan, "Go, call Hao Ge'er over! Let him recognize what was written on the couplet!"

Tiedan went there obediently.

Su Xiaoxiao laughed out loud when she heard that.

Huang pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "What are you laughing at, you little bitch!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm laughing at you for being stupid."

Huang had someone come to expose her for writing fake couplets, but when Chen Haoyuan came and saw Wei Ting's handwriting, wouldn't he be so autistic? "Do you want to call the head of the village as well?" Su Xiaoxiao asked provocatively.

The villagers are illiterate, so they don’t believe whatever Chen Haoyuan says.

She remembered that Li Zheng was literate and a fairly fair person.

Huang snorted, "Call them if you want! Who's afraid of who? Do you expect the head of the village to protect you? Impossible!"

Oh, this is how Huang thinks. She thought that she called the head of the village because she wanted him to protect the villagers?

The villagers were also led astray by Huang. At first, they thought that Su Pangya was fearless and that the words on the couplet were probably not written randomly. But after hearing what Huang said, they thought that Su Pangya was asking the head of the village to do a favor for the Su family.

Will the village head agree?

This drama is becoming more and more fascinating.

The head of the village lived next door to Old Li's house, and the two of them came here together. Unlike the time when Mrs. Wan and Wang Laizi's wife came to make trouble, Old Li was illiterate, so he had no right to interrupt today.

He was just very worried about Daya.

He saw the changes in Xiao Su's family and really didn't want them to be maliciously slandered again.

"Guo Lizheng."

Chen Haoyuan also came over and greeted him.

The head of the village nodded politely: "Mr. Chen."

"Mom, what happened?" Chen Haoyuan asked Huang.

At the door, Su Ergou had already used paste to paste the red-bottomed black-lettered couplet on his wall, and the banner was also pasted properly! Huang pointed and said, "Look, what's written on that couplet!"

Chen Haoyuan looked over.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but once you look, you’ll be stunned.

Seeing her son's reaction, Huang couldn't help but urge him, "Brother Hao, what's the matter? Speak? Did you write nonsense? It doesn't make sense."

The villagers' attention was all focused on Chen Haoyuan.

To be honest, they really couldn't read, but somehow, the couplets written by the Su family were more pleasing to the eye than those written by Mr. Chen.

Chen Haoyuan stared at the couplet, clenched his fingers little by little, and showed an expression of disbelief.

"Who wrote this?" he asked.
