Chapter 165 You can leave.
"I don't……"
My cousin was so frightened by Su Laosan that her face turned pale and her eyes widened, but she didn't say a word.
Su Laosan felt there was something wrong.
Fang Erniu also sensed something was wrong and stared at her cousin. "Cousin, are you hiding something from me? Tell me what's on your mind. I'm not smart enough to think of a solution, but your cousin-in-law is a bit smarter than me. He went to junior high school, so he must have a solution."
After saying that, he looked at Su Laosan with a believer's expression.
Su Laosan was very happy to be praised by his partner. When he saw Erniu looking over, he immediately puffed out his chest, wanting to make his partner's words more convincing.
But my cousin licked her lips, fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and refused to say anything.
Su Laosan shook his head, recalling what his mother had said about Su Xiaosi. After thinking for a moment, he took the words, modified them himself, and told his cousin, "You're eighteen now, you're an adult. How you live your life is not for others to decide, it's for you. If you want to get married, no one can stop you; if you don't want to get married, no one can force you. You..."
These words instantly excited my cousin.
She shook her head repeatedly, saying no, "I can't decide, I don't want to marry him, but my mom is forcing me to!"
Su Laosan frowned as he looked at her.
"Don't you have legs? Can't you run? Don't you have a mouth? Can't you argue with them? They haven't restricted your personal freedom. If it really doesn't work, call the police. Our country has long banned arranged marriages by parents. It's illegal for you to refuse your parents' dowry and marry you off. Don't you know that?"
My cousin pursed her lips and looked at Fang Erniu.
Fang Erniu looked utterly hopeless and sighed helplessly, "I've told her this before, but she said it's no use if she doesn't agree. What good is calling the police? It's always the same old story. Women have to get married eventually. In the village, all the marriages are arranged by parents. Can she really choose who she marries?"
Why not?
Fang Erniu patted Su Laosan's arm and said, "Your future cousin-in-law is someone I found myself, someone I chose myself. Why can't I choose?! You can choose whoever you want to marry, the key is that you have to choose the right one!"
My cousin opened her mouth as if to say something, but my aunt suddenly came in.
Seeing the three of them sitting there chatting idly, he looked displeased and pointed at his cousin, yelling, "You brat! Didn't I tell you to greet people at the door for your cousin and her husband? Why are you hiding here slacking off? Get back to work!"
He was scolding his own daughter, but his eyes were fixed on Su Laosan.
It's as if the words "You came to help but are hiding and slacking off, aren't you ashamed?" are written all over your face.
If someone were thin-skinned, they might get up in embarrassment.
But who is Su Laosan?
He considered himself to have the thickest skin in the world, and that no one but his mother and Erniu could order him around.
Hmm, I'll include my older brother and sister-in-law too. No, I'll include my maternal grandparents, uncles, and aunts too, otherwise his mother will spank him. She'll grab the fire tongs... We didn't bring the fire tongs when we moved, so we'll use the fire poker... He's been running around a lot lately, so his butt is thinner and less fleshy. It'll definitely hurt when she hits him.
Erniu's family members can't be left out either, otherwise Erniu will tickle him. A real man shouldn't be tickled by his wife. That's not tickling, it's just the young couple's fun, hehe.
One times one equals one, one times two equals two... four times five equals twenty.
Su Laosan counted on his fingers and was shocked to find out how many people he could be bossed around.
Tsk...
I was immediately proven wrong as soon as I finished speaking, and my face hurt.
Seeing that Su Laosan didn't respond at all, as if he hadn't heard her at all, and was still muttering something, Auntie was so angry that her nose was crooked and she couldn't breathe properly.
He raised his hand and slapped his cousin hard across the face. "You brat, get out of here right now! Do you think you're some kind of pampered guest who can eat without doing any work?"
Fang Erniu sighed but couldn't stop her. Seeing the red marks on her cousin's face from the slap, she took a couple of irritated breaths.
"Call me 'Auntie,' she said, 'Are you ever going to stop? If you want my boyfriend to leave, just say so. Why do you keep hitting my cousin? She's getting married soon, do you want her to get married with slap marks on her face? What kind of mother are you?! Cousin, come on, let's go back to your room, I'll get some powder to cover it up for you...'"
She pulled her cousin back to the temporary dowry room, and looked at Su Laosan at the kitchen door. "Go to the door. My eldest brother and younger brother went to the village to invite people. When they come back, call them to come together."
After saying that, he glanced at his still angry aunt and said, "My aunt is getting married, and her own son is just sitting around doing nothing, while we outsiders are busy to death. People who don't know the situation would think my mother is getting married!"
Auntie was so angry that her face changed several times. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Su Laosan's unfriendly look, she swallowed it back. But before her cousin was dragged away, she glared at her twice and left the kitchen ahead of them.
Su Laosan glanced at his cousin, who was hanging her head and silently weeping, and frowned. "Erniu, be careful."
Fang Erniu exclaimed "Ah!" and grinned, "My mom, my older brother, and my younger brother are all here. Anyone who dares to do anything to me will have to see how strong my mom and her family are. My mom's physique is so big that even my three aunts can't hold her down, hehe."
Su Laosan couldn't help but chuckle along.
The two seemed to have triggered a secret code, and they looked at each other and chuckled.
Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, my cousin's tears fell even faster. She also wanted someone who would make her laugh as soon as they talked.
"Let's go."
Fang Erniu pulled her cousin away to go back to her room and apply face powder.
After they closed the door, Su Laosan went out as well. He searched around and found his brother-in-law and his younger brother-in-law, who didn't like him. As soon as they saw him, they glared at him with cold eyes and grinned at him.
The three of them huddled together, and Su Laosan rattled off a bunch of strange and bizarre things. His brother-in-law and brother-in-law exchanged glances, both thinking that Su Laosan had gone mad.
Su Laosan's smile faded, and he stared at them with a serious expression.
After a long pause, the brother-in-law scoffed and glanced in the direction of the main room, "They've gone mad."
“She’s being stubborn. You guys try to get some information out of your cousin. I need to keep an eye on Erniu; I’m afraid they’ll make a move on her,” said Su Laosan.
The brother-in-law frowned, looking at them. "What if this is fake?"
"If this is false, I'll apologize to them however I want, but if it's true, I'll make sure they regret it!"
The Fang brothers exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious.
In the room where she was to be married, Fang Erniu gave some face powder to her cousin. The powder was bought for Fang Erniu by Su Laosan, and Fang Erniu brought it specifically for her cousin to use for makeup.
She wanted her cousin to get married looking beautiful.
Looking at her flawless face in the mirror, the younger cousin touched it and asked Fang Erniu, "Cousin, do you think if I don't listen to my family and find someone myself, can I find someone as good to you as your husband?"
Fang Erniu pressed down on her shoulder, moved closer to her cheek, and smiled as she squeezed their faces together.
She said, "Look, we look a bit alike. I'm not as pretty as you, but I can do it all. You'll definitely find someone better than me."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"cousin……"
My cousin looked at Fang Erniu in the mirror and smiled like her. Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes curved when she smiled. Combined with her fair and rosy cheeks, she was really pretty.
"Cousin, I wish I were born to my second aunt."
My cousin sighed, turned to look at Fang Erniu, took her hand, and said, "Cousin, I know you're good to me, and I don't want to hurt you. You should go. My life is over. I can't drag you and your husband down with me..."
