Chapter 231
A straight road connected Sujia Village and Qianjin Village. It was winter, and the wind was blowing wildly on the flat land. Su Yuanzheng, who was waiting for his daughter by the roadside, felt his ears numb from the cold, so he turned to a small road in the nearby sugarcane field to shelter from the wind.
The tall sugarcane acted like a barrier, and unless one went around to the front, one could not see Su Yuanzheng and the tricycle hiding in it. Unexpectedly, this unintentional action allowed him and his daughter to watch the entire process of their nephew's love affair.
In the sugarcane field, Su Miao, after solving his diarrhea problem, moved to a cleaner place on the other side to continue squatting and reading his cousin's love story, thinking that he had found the next novel.
Yang Danniu asked Su Xiang: "Do you like Huang Xiaoya very much?"
Su Xiang answered bewilderedly, "No, Seventh Uncle likes it."
"Ah? Who is Seventh Uncle?"
Su Xiang blinked and answered as a matter of course: "Seventh Uncle is my Seventh Uncle."
At this moment, the usually carefree Yang Danniu showed a rare hint of shyness and embarrassment: "Is it because your seventh uncle wants you to find a wife, so you have to marry Huang Xiaoya? It has to be Huang Xiaoya?"
Su Xiang said ignorantly: "I don't know. Fifth Aunt only told me to be good to my wife. She didn't tell me who my wife is. So whoever Seventh Uncle likes, I will marry."
"Oh! You are such a fool!"
When Yang Danniu heard him say that it might not be Huang Xiaoya, she felt a little happy and asked tentatively, "Then what kind of girl do you like? I mean, without considering your seventh uncle, what kind of girl do you like yourself?"
Su Xiang frowned slightly, thought seriously for a moment, and then answered: "Well... I like the kind like my mom, the kind like my aunt, and the kind like Miaomiao."
Hearing this, Yang Danniu mustered up the courage to ask, "What about me?"
Su Xiang was stunned for a moment. He stared at Yang Danniu with wide eyes, as if he couldn't understand the question: "You?"
Perhaps his expression was too stunned and surprised, which made Yang Danniu, who was originally a little shy, angry.
She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "What's wrong with me? Don't underestimate me. I do most of the housework. I can grow rice and vegetables, raise chickens and ducks. I can cook well too, and I don't like to spend money recklessly. If you marry me, you can be happy! Humph!"
For a moment, the atmosphere around became extremely quiet, with only the whistling sound of the wind blowing in my ears.
Yang Danniu waited expectantly for Su Xiang's response, but time passed by minute by minute and he still didn't speak.
Just when Yang Danniu was gradually feeling discouraged and thought that he would not show any more interest, Su Xiang's low and gentle voice suddenly came: "You are so good, why did you marry me?"
Yang Danniu looked at Su Xiang's gloomy face, and an indescribable feeling of pity welled up in her heart.
In fact, he has always been clear about it. He knows that he is not smart and that he is different from most people. He has been disliked by many people since he was a child. Even though he appears calm and optimistic every day, he has always hidden deep inferiority in his heart.
Because of this, he especially cherishes those who have given him warmth and kindness, and even regards them as much more important than himself.
Yang Daniu slowed down her tone and said softly, "Actually, I'm not that good either. My grandfather passed away early, and my father also passed away from illness ten years ago, on my birthday.
The villagers all said that the women in our family were destined to bring bad luck to their husbands, and accused us of having a tough life. Even the matchmakers would deliberately take a detour whenever they passed by our house, as if they were afraid of being tainted by bad luck.
"Won't the matchmaker introduce you to someone? Then you can ask her to introduce me to you."
Yang Danniu's face was full of surprise. She didn't expect Su Xiang to say that: "Really? You really don't mind at all?"
"My parents are gone too. I'm probably just unlucky. We're all the same."
…
Su Miao, who was in the sugarcane field, was stunned. It was settled already? Was it so straightforward?
He bypassed the matchmaker and the elders and settled the deal on his own? As expected of Brother Xiang, he does things cleanly and efficiently, much better than those who claim to be smart but always end up being misled by their own cleverness.
The joy in Yang Danniu's voice could not be concealed at all: "You should go back and get busy. It's almost four o'clock. Maybe your family has already prepared dinner."
"No, my second uncle asked me to take you home. I'll help you pick any vegetables you want."
Yang Da Niu hurriedly picked some peppers and lettuce, then turned to look at Su Xiang, who was concentrating on helping her pick vegetables. She said hesitantly, "Think carefully about what I just said. Make sure you're sure before you say anything. Don't play tricks on me! You...you have to talk to your elders and get their approval."
Su Xiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, the elders in my family are very kind and will definitely agree."
Yang Danniu faced Su Xiang and said seriously, "I have to tell you about my family situation. My father died of illness ten years ago. Now I have my mother and my brother. My brother is twelve years old. Although he is already a grown-up, he is studying now. I can't completely let go of the family.
But don't worry, if I get married, I will definitely put our family first, take time to help my parents, and I won't use your money to subsidize my parents. Do you think you can accept that?"
"It doesn't matter. Fifth Aunt said that from now on my wife's family will all be my family. So your mother is my mother, and your brother is my brother. I spend money on them, and I will help you take care of them."
Hearing this, Yang Daniu was filled with joy, and her big eyes smiled like crescent moons: "Su Xiang, thank you for not despising me and my family. You are very good and not stupid at all."
"Well, can we go back now? Second uncle is slaughtering a pig today, I wonder if they can hold it down."
"Yeah! Let's go back!"
Su Miao saw Yang Danniu sitting in the back seat of Su Xiang's car, holding freshly picked vegetables in one hand and wrapping the other around his waist. She asked in a clear voice, "Su Xiang, what does your seventh uncle like to eat?"
"I like to drink and eat meat, why do you ask this?"
Yang Danniu smiled with a dimple and said, "I'll go visit your seventh uncle someday. I want him to like me, too."
The two of them chatted idly like this as the bicycle gradually went away. Su Miao was about to stand up when he suddenly felt as if his legs were being swarmed by a dense, rampant swarm of ants that had drilled into his blood vessels. He felt itchy and numb and could not move at all.
I heard my father's voice calling out, "Miao Miao, are you done pooping? Do you want to go to the clinic?"
Su Miao yelled at the top of his lungs, "Dad! Come and save me! My legs are numb!"
