It was more than a month later that Su Man heard from Zhao Baili again.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the peppers in the greenhouse have a good harvest. Suman, Wang Xuemei and the two Wang brothers fill sacks with peppers, waiting to go to the town to sell them to buy New Year's goods for their family.
Su Man's back was covered in sweat after working hard in the warm greenhouse, so she called Wang Fengye and the others to come over and take a break.
Wang Fengye was so hot that he took off his cotton jacket and worked in only a cotton vest.
When he heard Suman say that she wanted to rest, he sat down next to Suman, so close together that they looked like a pair of conjoined twins.
Wang Fengye was originally a bit clingy, and now it’s even more so.
Although he was a grown man, he leaned on Su Man's shoulder and acted like a spoiled child, "Wife, I'm so tired."
Su Man glanced at him sideways, "Where are you tired?"
"My back hurts." Wang Fengye said aggrievedly.
Su Man smiled, "Why are you so squeamish? My eldest brother and second sister didn't even say it hurt."
Wang Fengye shook his head, "It's different."
"What's the difference?"
Wang Fengye covered his waist and said, "They don't give birth at night, so... well."
Su Man quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.
After hearing this, Wang Fugui and Wang Xuemei covered their mouths and laughed.
The culprit, Wang Fengye, didn't know what outrageous words he had said. He blinked his big eyes, as if asking Su Man why she didn't let him speak.
Finally, Wang Xuemei spoke up to smooth things over. "Okay, third brother, let's wait for mom to bring us food and then we can work."
Wang Fengye's mouth was covered and he couldn't speak, so he could only nod.
...
As a result, when Liu Ping came to deliver the meal, Su Man and the others had a gossip before they could even eat.
Liu Ping said mysteriously, "The second sister of the Huang family in the village is getting married. Do you know who she is marrying?"
Su Man swallowed the meat bun in her mouth and said, "Who is it?"
Liu Ping clapped her hands and said, "It's Zhao Baili from the Zhao family."
"ah?"
Wang Xuemei was surprised. "The Huang family had arranged for Huang Ermei to marry a wealthy man from the surrounding villages. How could they have chosen to marry their daughter to Zhao Baili?"
"That's right. I'll go and ask around. Guess what."
Liu Ping kept the suspense a secret until it was almost over before she said, "I heard that Huang Ermei is pregnant. Mr. and Mrs. Huang were so angry that they had no choice but to accept this son-in-law."
“…”
They were chattering about it, but Su Man, who had Gao Man's memories, knew that Zhao Baili had no interest in Huang Ermei at all.
Now he has made it a fait accompli in order to marry her. It seems that he wants to find a backer for himself.
-
On the day of Zhao Baili's wedding, the Huang family invited all the villagers to the wedding banquet.
When villagers sit down to a banquet, it is considered respectable only if the whole family is present.
Liu Ping had gotten along well with the Huang family before, so she took Wang Fugui, Wang Fengye and Su Man with her.
Su Man sat at the table and looked at Huang's father and mother, whose faces were drooping the whole time. She knew how dissatisfied they were with this marriage.
When facing the cold faces of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhao Baili greeted them with a smile as if they couldn't see him.
He and the bride Huang Ermei toasted at each table and soon reached Su Man's table.
At that time, Su Man was telling Wang Fengye to be honest and not run around, and she didn't notice Zhao Baili at all. It was only when Zhao Baili spoke that she noticed him.
"Thank you all for coming to our wedding." Zhao Baili raised his glass.
Everyone at the table stood up and said auspicious words like "May you have a happy marriage for a hundred years".
As she raised her head to drink, Su Man could feel Zhao Baili's gaze, but she pretended not to know and didn't even glance at him.
...
The Huang family was considered a wealthy family, and the roast chicken and fat duck on the table made the villagers, who had not eaten meat for a long time, feel very satisfied.
The Wang family has been doing well lately and they eat meat all the time. Wang Fengye didn't eat much, but he drank a lot of sweet drinks.
Before he was about to finish, he whispered to Su Man, "Wife, I want to go to the toilet."
"Do you want me to go with you?"
Wang Fengye shook his head like a rattle, "No, I'm not a child."
Su Man was worried, so she pointed him in the direction and gave him several instructions before letting him go.
Wang Fengye drank too much sweet water and his steps became hurried.
After a while, he came out of the toilet.
Just as he was about to return to the table, he suddenly saw Zhao Baili, wearing a boutonniere, coming towards him.
Wang Fengye laughed, "Groom."
His smile was innocent, and he was truly happy for Zhao Baili, but when Zhao Baili looked at him, his eyes were gloomy and cold.
Zhao Baili had been secretly observing how Su Man cared for and looked after Wang Fengye. The two of them were like a newlywed couple, extremely sweet.
These originally belonged to him.
Zhao Baili smiled maliciously, "I'm not only the groom, I'm also the groom of your wife."
Wang Fengye frowned, "No, my wife is mine."
"Yours? Have you touched her?"
"Bang? Well, we have babies every night."
Wang Fengye actually didn't understand what he meant, and he got the answer right by accident.
This answer made Zhao Baili furious. He now had extremely complicated emotions towards Su Man. He hated Su Man for harming him, and he also hated her for being fickle and abandoning him.
Facing this fool who had robbed his woman, Zhao Baili was full of malice, "Don't you know that your wife followed me before she gave birth to your child?"
Wang Fengye's eyes were confused. "Follow you?"
"Of course, she likes me. She only married you, a fool, out of necessity. She also said that what she hates most in her life is fools. She would leave you if she had the chance."
