Su Xueli chuckled and snuggled closer to him to warm herself, losing all interest in her book. Looking at his handsome face, she teased him, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Wei Mingshen closed his eyes and said, "I'm not angry."
Su Xueli teased him, "But I can tell you're angry."
He rolled his eyes. "Are you trying to coax me?"
Su Xueli chickened out again, "You go to sleep, I'll read my book."
He then covered his face with a book.
Wei Mingshen looked at her with amusement and said, "You love to play, but you can't afford to play."
Su Xueli looked up from her book and gave him a defiant look. "It's not that I can't play the game, it's that you can't. Don't you reserve your whole self for the woman you love?"
Wei Mingshen was completely dumbfounded; this little woman actually said something so explosive.
Su Xueli chuckled to herself, then looked down at him and asked, "So, did I guess right?"
Wei Mingshen's expression turned serious. He sighed deeply, turned his back to her, and remained silent.
Su Xueli felt a pang of pain in her heart, her eyes fixed on the book, but she couldn't concentrate on anything.
Suddenly she laughed again, realizing she'd created her own troubles.
She quickly changed the subject to dispel the gloom in her heart, "You know, what a coincidence that my second aunt ran into that heartless man from back then today."
Wei Mingshen said, "I don't know."
Thinking of that man's shrewish wife, Su Xueli sighed, "People get their just deserts. That heartless man got what he deserved. He wronged someone and paid for it with a lifetime of humiliation. Hmm, it's satisfying to watch."
My second aunt, on the other hand, let him go immediately.
Wei Mingshen said, "You can act as a matchmaker between Second Aunt and Manager Gao."
Su Xueli nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's what I was thinking too. By the way, since we're in such a hurry to make money, let's start making straw weaving when we come back from my parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year."
Wei Mingshen was worried: "That won't do. During the Spring Festival, relatives will be coming and going, and we can't work. But don't worry, a few more days won't make a difference."
Su Xueli glanced at him in the quilt, and said again, "No rush." He had been saying those two words a lot these days.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen arrived at Su Xueli's parents' home in Taohuawu Village with large bags and small packages. Her father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and two children were waiting at the door early in the morning.
"Aunt! Uncle!" The two children skipped and jumped over.
Su Xueli hugged them with a smile, and Wei Mingshen smiled and agreed. Once inside the house, he took out New Year's money and handed it to the two children.
"Oh dear, we can't give so much, the child won't spend it." Sister-in-law Su Xueli exclaimed in surprise.
But there was even more surprise in her eyes.
Su Xueli's brother, Su Yunlei, also panicked when he saw this. He snatched the money from the child's hand and stuffed it back to Wei Mingshen, saying, "You can't give so much money. Take it back quickly."
Wei Mingshen said with a stern face, "Brother, how can you do this? Taking back the money you've given away is like slapping me in the face."
Su Xueli chimed in, "Brother, sister-in-law, it was given to the child by his uncle. Don't worry about it, just give it back to the child quickly."
At his mother's prompting, the two children reached out their little hands to ask their father for more money, so Su Yunlei had no choice but to give the money to the two children again.
The sister-in-law became even more enthusiastic towards her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, pouring tea, serving water, offering melon seeds and fruit, and sitting down to chat non-stop.
Su Yunlei reminded her, "Now that you've met your sister and brother-in-law, let's go to his maternal grandmother's house too. After you eat, come back early to talk to your sister and brother-in-law."
Liu Fengying urged, "That's right, Huanping, you should hurry up and leave, don't keep the child's maternal grandmother waiting."
Zhang Huanping pretended to be reluctant and held Su Xueli's hand, saying, "I didn't want to leave when I saw my sister. We have so much to talk about. But we can't stay. There are a lot of people from my family waiting for us. So we're leaving now, sister and brother-in-law."
"Let's go, let's go." Su Xueli waved her hand indifferently.
Wei Mingshen got up to see them off, but Su Xueli pressed his leg down.
