Auntie held Meng Xiaoyue's hand, saying with affection and reluctance, "Child, I had no idea you were suffering so much pain. I really admire you. You can still have such a sunny face and bright eyes. I admire you more and more."
However, your second aunt truly doesn't want you to divorce. You two are a perfect match. Mingshen is not only handsome, but also a good person, responsible, and dependable—a rare gem.
Su Xueli said, "My second aunt is right, but I can't live a life without love in a marriage."
My second aunt sighed and said, "Yes, what's the point of a woman living if she's not loved? No matter how good a man is, if he doesn't have you in his heart, where is your happiness?"
“But son, in my opinion, he and that village secretary’s daughter are not a good match. I know that girl too; I’ve seen her when I went shopping. I don’t like that girl.”
"Why?" Su Xueli asked her second aunt.
My second aunt said, "It's not good to talk about people behind their backs, but I'll still tell the truth. That girl probably grew up in a pampered environment, and she has an arrogant attitude towards everyone."
Moreover, he's very assertive, and Ming Shen is also stubborn and headstrong. If these two were to actually live together, it would be nothing short of chaotic.
Su Xueli felt a pang of jealousy, but said fiercely, "That's not necessarily true, Second Aunt. Men are the most flexible. If you take your heart out for a woman he doesn't like, he'll find it disgusting. But if he likes a woman, he'll even drink her foot bath water and find it delicious."
My second aunt gave a mocking smile. "That's what they say, but I still don't think they're a good match."
Su Xueli let out a long breath, shook her hair, and said, "I don't care anymore. This is their business, it has nothing to do with me. For the rest of my life, I will only think about making money, making a lot of money."
With more money, I'd build a huge villa, keep a bunch of handsome men, and choose my concubines every night—I'd live the life of Empress Wu Zetian.
"Hahaha, you little rascal..." Auntie laughed so hard she bent over.
Su Xueli also burst into laughter.
"What are you two talking about, laughing so happily?" Cao Maizi came in carrying a plate of raisins.
Upon seeing her, Su Xueli and her second aunt burst into laughter again.
"Come on, stop laughing, eat some raisins. Your fourth aunt just brought them over. Her son sells raisins, and he gave her a few pounds for the New Year. He just brought me some too." Cao Maizi urged the two of them to eat.
Su Xueli took a handful and gave it to her second aunt, then grabbed another handful for herself, saying, "Mom, are you done with your work? If you are, sit down and have some water to rest."
Cao Maizi wiped his hands on his apron, sat down around the brazier, and said, "I'm done with the work. Everything's been put into the eight-dou container. I can just carry the eight-dou container with me first thing tomorrow morning."
At this point, she said to her second aunt, "Second sister, you should go tomorrow too. It's the Dragon King Square Temple Fair. The Dragon King and Dragon King's wife both say it's very effective. They give you whatever you ask for. They say even high-ranking officials from the provincial capital drive over in their limousines to pay their respects."
"Hahaha..." Su Xueli laughed so hard she almost fell over.
Cao Maizi sternly scolded his daughter-in-law, "Silly girl, what are you laughing at? You're not allowed to make fun of the gods."
Su Xueli laughed breathlessly and said, "Mother, I'm not laughing at the gods, I'm laughing at you. That's not called a turtle-covered car, that's called a small car."
Cao Maizi waved his hand dismissively, "Isn't that just like a turtle shell? Why can't it be called a turtle shell car?"
"Alright, alright, Mother, if you want to call it Turtle Cover Cart, then call it Turtle Cover Cart."
In later years, when Wei Mingshen bought a car, he went to great lengths to correct her on how to call it that, and she got angry.
Cao Maizi continued to urge her second aunt to go and worship the gods.
My second aunt smiled and declined, saying, "I don't have anything to ask of my sister-in-law."
