Chapter 335 Are you... threatening me?
Even the thick-skinned Su Laosan felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
He coughed again, "It's all about going to the bridal chamber first, doing *that* first. If you can get pregnant, your mother won't dare utter a sound..."
Fang Erniu's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Ah!"
They slapped Su Laosan repeatedly.
He shouted, "Old Su, are you trying to get yourself killed? What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Hey hey hey..."
Su Laosan endured the blows a few times before quickly explaining, "I didn't agree, I didn't agree! That's too underhanded. How could I bear to let you marry me with such a bad reputation? I still want to marry you openly and honestly. Anyway, I've decided on you for life, and even when we're old, you'll be the only one I recognize..."
Fang Erniu snorted and bumped her head against his back, again and again.
Then, leaning against his back, she sighed and said, "Me too, but... it feels so hard, Su Laosan. What if... after a while, you don't want me anymore because of all my family troubles? You must tell me, okay?"
“…No, when you were with me, you didn’t look down on me for being a lazy, good-for-nothing good-for-nothing who just wanted to eat and wait to die. You were willing to marry me even without a dowry. How could I not want you because of things that we can work hard to solve? Erniu, I don’t want to marry anyone but you. Besides my mother, you are the second woman I care about most. Don’t say things like that again.”
Su Laosan's eyes were deep and serious, his earlier playful smile gone.
Fang Erniu's nose tingled, and she pressed her forehead against his back, softly humming in agreement.
The two rode their bikes to their usual breakfast stall and asked the owner to heat up some steamed buns for them. The owner jokingly remarked that since their wedding was approaching, they both looked so unwell.
Su Laosan replied with a grin, "We're worried about whether our first child will be a boy or a girl. My girlfriend wants twins, a boy and a girl. Who can say for sure?"
Fang Erniu pinched his waist from behind, making his face burn, and scolded him, "You're so unruly."
The boss laughed heartily.
After leaving the stall, the two of them went back to the shop, still clinging to each other.
When the cousins saw this, they looked at each other, all somewhat confused.
"Third brother, what's going on with you two?"
Fang Erniu met the eyes of her cousin who had given her the money that day, and awkwardly tried to pull her hand away from Su Laosan's, but Su Laosan noticed and held it tightly.
He explained to the group, "Erniu and I have decided to date for life and not get married."
This was something the two of them had agreed upon. They couldn't possibly explain to everyone that they wanted to wait until Fang's parents and Erniu's parents were all gone before getting married, could they? They'd be drowned in gossip!
"ah?"
The older cousins' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as they stared at the two of them in shock. "This actually works?"
"...Does my aunt know about this?"
"What if the Fang family... Erniu's mother finds out, won't she make a scene too?"
Fang Erniu shook her head and said, "I didn't tell my mom that I'm still with Su Laosan. In their eyes, I've already broken up with Su Laosan. I'm working in the city now, earning thirty-eight yuan a month. Su Laosan, remember to pay me my wages..."
"Don't even mention thirty-eight, I'll show you three hundred and eighty." Su Laosan's smile had a sly, cheeky quality to it.
Fang Erniu laughed, "I don't want that much. If I take that much money back, my mom will definitely ask for money to support her family. My cousin is already thirty years old. He has hands and feet and can earn money to support himself. I don't want to use your hard-earned money to support him!"
The cousins exchanged glances, their eyes crinkling with laughter, and they reverted to their previous friendly and accepting demeanor.
I congratulated them with a smile.
"It's not a big deal not to get married, as long as we're together every day."
"right!"
"Given your mental state, you don't need that piece of paper..."
Fang Erniu's eyes lit up with smiles. Although she was easygoing, she had noticed their initial resistance, but she was already very happy with how things were now.
Two days later, Fang Erniu went to Fang Dasao's parents' home to pick her up and take her back.
When her brothers and sisters-in-law saw Fang Erniu come to pick her up, their expressions were not good. Fang Erniu handed over the pastries she had bought in advance, smiling and saying, "There's nothing much to take. This box of pastries is from Yipinzhai in the city. It's not expensive, only five yuan. Let the children try some..."
Several people's eyes lit up, and a woman smiled and took it first.
He said, "They say even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. My dear sister-in-law, how much has your brother embezzled? I asked your sister-in-law and she got angry. I asked her to stay a couple more days, but she insisted on going back. Why is she in such a hurry to go back? Her husband is in jail, and she's left to raise her children..."
"Sister-in-law, I will not get a divorce, nor will I remarry. You should give up on your plans."
With a cold face, Sister-in-law Fang pulled the child, called Fang Erniu, and walked away.
Hearing voices from behind, "Who are you giving attitude to? Do you still think you're the village secretary's wife? You're nobody now..."
"I don't know how the Fang family raised their daughter-in-law. She yells at her own sister-in-law like that. She has no manners!"
Sister-in-law Fang paused, and Fang Erniu called her.
"Erniu, I can't swallow this. You wait here."
She strode back, and to everyone's astonishment, snatched the pastries Fang Erniu had brought, saying, "If even such expensive pastries can't shut you up, then you shouldn't eat any of them!"
"Hey! Who ever asks for something back after giving it away?"
"Have you no shame?"
As if she hadn't heard anything, Sister-in-law Fang smiled and put the pastries into the basket on the front of the bicycle.
Fang Erniu stared wide-eyed in surprise.
Her sister-in-law...
The two children sat on the front crossbar, Fang Erniu held the younger one in her arms on the back seat, and Fang's sister-in-law pedaled the bicycle with great effort. The two women chatted all the way back to the Fang family home.
When Erniu's mother saw Sister-in-law Fang, she wanted to curse her as soon as she opened her mouth.
He was shut down by Sister-in-law Fang's words.
She said, "With the old couple gone, and your two sons now in jail, who knows if they'll ever come back in your lifetime. If you don't behave yourself, don't blame me for making sure my son doesn't carry your banners and break your pots in the future!"
Erniu's mother was stunned, her mouth opening and closing, "You...are you threatening me?"
"yes."
Sister-in-law Fang nodded and said, "If you behave yourself and don't cause trouble, I'll still let the child call you 'Grandma.' But if you're looking for trouble, we'll either argue or fight. Do you think I, a young and strong woman, am afraid of you when you're halfway to the grave? Tell me, how do you want to live?"
"I...you..."
Erniu's mother was taken aback by Fang's sudden change of heart and couldn't quite process it.
Erniu's father laughed gleefully from the side, but after being glared at by Erniu's mother, he clapped his hands with a smile and called his grandson over like a puppy or a kitten.
None of the three children paid any attention to him.
Sister-in-law Fang glanced over and said, "Dad, you too."
"ah?"
Erniu's father looked at her and said, "I didn't mean to cause trouble..."
"You call yourself a man?!" Erniu's mother spat at Erniu's father.
Erniu's dad rolled his eyes. "If I'm not a man, who did you have these kids with?"
