Shao Jiang recounted that Su Xueli laughed, and in the end, she laughed so hard that she lay on the table, crying out that her heart hurt.
"Oh, Shao Jiang, I've never admired anyone before, but I admire you so much today! You did a fantastic job! I thank you on behalf of Yan Yan's ancestors for eight generations, hahaha."
Shao Jiang said confidently, "Just wait, Yan Yan has finally escaped the fire pit. Good news will be coming soon, and Yan Yan will be the first to tell you."
Su Xueli touched her face and said, "Oh dear, my face hurts from laughing. Shao Jiang, you're so handsome! I'm just waiting for Yan Yan's good news."
Shao Jiang chuckled and winked at Su Xueli, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't just wait for Yan Yan's good news, you have to wait for mine too. You and Yan Yan are best friends, you have to help me win the heart of my beauty."
Su Xueli pouted: "Come on, do you need my help? You have the nerve to be shameless and the silver tongue to talk, why are you worried about not being able to win over Yan Yan?"
Shao Jiang was flattered and carried away, but he hadn't lost his senses. "Sister-in-law, I do have some ability, but I'm still not confident about pursuing Yan Yan. Yan Yan is too beautiful and too wonderful. I feel that I'm not good enough for her and I'm afraid she won't accept me. I need your help, don't you?"
Su Xueli was naturally willing to help Yan Yan marry Shao Jiang; if she were to do so, she would truly be defying fate.
She said earnestly, "Shao Jiang, you are excellent and have good character. I think Yan Yan won't suffer if she marries you, so I support Yan Yan marrying you. But since I support you, I will definitely help you two get together."
Shao Jiang was so moved that he almost kowtowed to Su Xueli.
After leaving the bathhouse in Shaojiang, the two went to buy wine and meat. On the way home, Su Xueli didn't say a word, but Wei Mingshen seemed to be in a good mood and took the initiative to tell Su Xueli about the interesting things he and Shaojiang had done in the army.
Su Xueli couldn't help but say, "You look so happy."
Wei Mingshen countered, "Aren't you happy?"
Su Xueli's heart sank, but she immediately put on a happy tone and said, "Of course I'm happy, we'll both be free soon."
"Then why am I unhappy when you're happy?"
Su Xueli was speechless.
She bit her lip: Men are always heartless.
Thankfully, I've given up on men for the rest of my life.
The elderly couple were very happy to have bought so much meat and vegetables. In fact, ever since they found out that their son was not sick, their home has been as festive as if it were Chinese New Year every day.
Cao Maizi and Wei Tiezhu went to the kitchen to cook, and invited the young couple to come inside and rest.
Su Xueli sat in the house, holding a glass of water, listening to the cheerful laughter of the elderly couple in the kitchen. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She couldn't imagine how devastating it would be for them to suddenly learn that their son and daughter-in-law had divorced and that she would never return to this home.
Fortunately, Su Xueli will return the money they spent on marrying her, so they won't lose both their money and their daughter, and they can afford to find another wife for their son.
Wei Mingshen did not go back to the house; he stayed in the kitchen helping his parents cook.
Cao Maizi asked with a grin, "Shenzi, did the sun rise in the west today? Why are you helping me in the kitchen?"
Wei Mingshen said ingratiatingly, "There are a lot of dishes today, and my parents are too busy. It's only right that I help them out."
Cao Maizi smiled happily.
Her smile gradually faded, and she leaned close to her son's ear and whispered, "Shenzi, there's something I've wanted to ask you for a long time, but I haven't dared to, afraid you wouldn't tell me. Today I really can't hold it in anymore. I'll ask you, since you're healthy, why isn't Xue Li pregnant yet?"
Wei Mingshen almost cried: Mother, what pregnancy is she having? Your son is still a young and innocent virgin.
When Cao Maizi saw that her son didn't speak, she hit him and said, "Your mother is asking you a question, didn't you hear me?"
