"What nonsense are you spouting, you silly girl? Say it again and I'll pinch your mouth shut," Cao Maizi said hurriedly to her daughter.
Then he coaxed his daughter-in-law, "Xueli, don't listen to your sister's nonsense, she's not very bright."
Su Xueli immediately replied to her mother-in-law, "Mother, since my sister isn't very bright, I won't hold it against her."
"Ah, my brain isn't working properly..."
Wei Mingyue was so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder, and she pushed the bowl away and ran out.
Su Xueli immediately stepped in to play the good guy, "Dad, Mom, I'll go and try to persuade my sister."
The elderly couple stopped her at the same time: "Don't go, let her do as she pleases, we'll eat our own food."
Su Xueli ate her dinner in a great mood.
Just after dinner, Zhou Mingshen's close uncle, who was the village party secretary, came over, and the family hurriedly invited him to sit down.
He said to Zhou Mingshen with a beaming smile, "You're lucky, kid. This year, land will be allocated. If you become a father before the new year, you can get land for your child. You know, so many children in our village are already several years old and still haven't received land."
Zhou Mingshen's parents were overjoyed. Land is the lifeblood of farmers, and their child was born with land; he was truly blessed.
Feeling guilty, Wei Mingshen subconsciously stole a glance at Su Xueli, who was also looking at him. Their eyes met for two seconds before they both hurriedly looked away.
Su Xueli quietly got up and went back to her room. Wei Mingshen couldn't stay any longer and followed her into the new house.
He closed the door and asked Su Xueli, "Tomorrow is the three-day homecoming ceremony, are you okay with that?"
Su Xueli said firmly, "Don't worry, I'm a person of my word."
Wei Mingshen gave her a thumbs up: "That's great!"
Her smile was weary. She thought for a moment, then asked, "You really don't mind the excuse I made up?"
Wei Mingshen narrowed his charming peach blossom eyes. "That's good. It saves me from having to chase away those clingy little girls like flies every day."
Su Xueli twitched her lips, but what he said was true. Tell me, which girl in Matou Town wouldn't want to marry him?
He lay down lazily on the bed and said helplessly, "My poor parents, they must be so heartbroken!"
On the three-day homecoming day, early in the morning, the father-in-law, Wei Tiezhu, and mother-in-law, Cao Maizi, prepared gifts for their daughter-in-law's family. The elderly couple said happily, "We must have all the gifts that are expected for the homecoming. We can't let people laugh at us for being ignorant. Our daughter-in-law is such a good girl, so we can spend money as we please."
Su Xueli felt a pang of sadness upon hearing the elders' words: It's a pity we weren't meant to be.
To express her hostility towards her new sister-in-law, Wei Mingyue didn't even get up for breakfast. Humph, let's see how annoyed she is.
She also decided that after they returned to their parents' home, she would go to town to find Lin Meizhi, and she would work with Lin Meizhi to break them up as soon as possible.
Today is the day my daughter returns home for her wedding banquet. The Su family has been busy since early morning. Relatives and neighbors have brought their gifts, and the village's chefs are working hard to prepare the dishes. The atmosphere is lively and festive.
Su Xueli and Wei Mingshen were greeted by the crowd before they even reached home with their gifts. When she saw her still young parents in the crowd, her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
In my heart, I thought: Father, Mother, I was not well treated in my past life, and you were worried about me until your deaths. But it won't be like that in this life!
Zhou Mingshen, the new son-in-law, was treated like a star and taken to a prepared guest room, while the young women and wives crowded around to see him. Su Xueli was pulled by her mother to her boudoir before her marriage.
The mother is worried about her daughter and hasn't been eating or sleeping well these past few days.
"Daughter, tell your mother, is your son-in-law good to you?" Liu Fengying asked her daughter anxiously.
