Su Hang and the others were stunned by what Su Ning said. They subconsciously looked at Liang Fu's eyes and found that they were indeed swollen.
Lin Shansheng immediately asked, "What happened? Who bullied you? Tell me, and my brother and I will go and beat that bastard to death!"
Su Hang looked at Liang Fu nervously, "Yes, Xiao Fu, who bullied you? Why are you crying? What can't you tell me and your sister?"
Liang Fu felt wronged; she really couldn't tell anyone about her situation.
As she pondered this, Liang Fu glared at Lin Shansheng, leaving the others completely bewildered.
Who bullied me? It was you, you big idiot!
Liang Fu complained inwardly, but she dared not say it aloud, so she said coyly, "It's nothing, I just heard some unpleasant rumors... saying that my sister is getting married and will take me with her, and that I don't go out to earn money and just eat at the Lin family's house every day..."
Liang Fu's words were not made up; this saying had always existed in the village, but it had gradually faded away recently as Liang Fu and Zhao Shufang went out to set up a stall.
Even so, it couldn't stop some people from being envious and continuing to gossip behind people's backs.
Lin Chaosheng was surprised that someone would say such things behind his back, and immediately said, "Xiao Fu, don't listen to those people's nonsense. How could you be someone who just freeloads? Haven't you helped enough around the house? You've really put in a lot of effort!"
Lin Shansheng chimed in, "That's right, Xiao Fu, don't spout nonsense. They're just sour grapes; they're just jealous of you!"
Seeing that Liang Fu had been coaxed by each of them, Su Ning felt relieved and said to Su Hang and the others.
"Seeing that Shan Sheng is alright and Liang Fu has successfully met with you, I'll head back now."
"Then drive carefully on your way back!"
"Thank you, Brother Suning."
Liang Fu sincerely thanked Su Ning.
Suning smiled, waved, and rode away on his bicycle.
Liang Fu, Lin Chaosheng, and the others returned home, while Zhao Shufang, Liang Mei, and Lin Shanhai sat in the courtyard waiting.
Seeing Liang Fu return safely, Zhao Shufang said from the side, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
Lin Shanhai was relieved, so everyone chatted in the courtyard for a while before going back to their rooms to sleep.
Liang Fu had just finished washing her feet when she heard a knock on the door.
"Knock knock!"
"Xiao Fu, it's me."
Liang Fu heard her sister Liang Mei's voice from outside the door. She quickly dried her feet with a cloth and opened the door in her slippers to let Liang Mei in.
"Sister, come in quickly."
Liang Mei placed the fabric she was holding on the bed and waited for Liang Fu to return after pouring out the foot bath water.
"Sis, why did you come looking for me again?"
Liang Fu looked at Liang Mei with a grin. Today, she had specially "sent" her sister over to thank Lin Chaosheng.
As for Lin Shansheng, he went to share a room with his father, and Su Hang had an upset stomach and went to the outhouse and hadn't returned yet.
"I was tidying up Chaosheng's trunk and wardrobe when I found these two pieces of fabric. Perfect, one for you and one for Suhang, I'll make a dress for each of you."
Liang Mei was very skillful, and Liang Fu always felt that the shirts and pants her sister made were better than many that were sold in stores.
"Then I'll wait for Sister Xiao Hang to come back and let her choose first."
Liang Mei nodded, looking at her younger sister who was growing more and more beautiful, and asked, "Xiao Fu, you'll be turning eighteen in a little over two weeks. Do you have someone you like? I'll help you find someone."
Liang Fu blushed at her words and immediately said, "Sister, why are you asking this? I'm only eighteen, do you already want to marry me off?"
"So what?" Liang Mei said matter-of-factly, "Didn't your brother-in-law and I get married at eighteen? We're doing just fine now, aren't we?"
"You didn't say a word about the hardships you endured..."
Liang Fu looked at her sister with a complicated expression, while Liang Mei smiled and did not deny it.
Those painful past experiences have happened, and we must acknowledge them.
"Anyway, I came here to tell you that if you like someone, just tell me. You might be too shy to tell other people, but why would you be too shy to tell your sister?"
"I'm afraid you're too young and might be easily fooled by some good-looking man's sweet words. Now that we're family, your Aunt Zhao can help you find someone suitable, so you won't suffer any losses, understand?"
Liang Fu knew her sister was right, so she quickly nodded and said, "I understand, sister. Don't worry. If I ever find someone I like in the future, I'll definitely tell you right away."
"That's more like it. You little brat, you're not even an adult yet, and you're already hiding things from your sister. I'll let it slide this time, but if there's a next time, I'll definitely give you a good spanking!"
The two sisters were bickering when, just then, Su Hang returned, clutching her stomach.
"Sister-in-law, Xiaofu, my stomach is killing me! You're making a scene here, and it makes me so upset..."
As he spoke, Su Hang let himself press down on Liang Fu, while only pressing down on Liang Mei, since Liang Mei was pregnant.
"Stop fooling around, take a look at these fabrics and see which one you like?" Liang Fu helped Su Hang sit up straight and let her look at the fabrics first.
"My sister said she's going to make dresses for both of us. Let me tell you, the ones she makes will definitely be prettier than the ones you buy at the supply and marketing cooperative!"
"Really?" Su Hang's eyes lit up. "Then I'm really looking forward to it!"
One of the two pieces of fabric is red with small white flowers, and the other is yellow with small white dots.
Both Liang Fu and Su Hang are fair-skinned, but Su Hang has a more delicate and well-behaved appearance, so she chose the yellow fabric.
The remaining red piece naturally belonged to Liang Fu, who was very satisfied with it; she had her eye on that red fabric from the very beginning.
"Alright, it's getting late, you should all get some rest."
Liang Mei picked up the fabric and said to Liang Fu and Su Hang, "I'll take this fabric for now, and come back tomorrow to take your measurements before we make it."
After Liang Mei left, Liang Fu and Su Hang turned off the lights and lay down to sleep together.
But Su Hang couldn't fall asleep no matter what he did, his mind filled with the scene he saw when he went to find Liang Fu today.
Her brother and Liang Fu... seem to be quite a good match?
The age gap is a bit too big...
But older men are more caring! Rather than having his brother find a woman he doesn't know to be his sister-in-law, it's better to find someone he knows well.
She thought Liang Fu was quite good; she was beautiful and had a great figure. She felt that Liang Fu was losing out by marrying her brother.
But her brother has the advantage of a good job with a decent salary and government employment.
Su Hang's thoughts wandered further and further away, completely unaware that Liang Fu had already fallen asleep.
On the other side, Su Ning also tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. The thought of Liang Fu crying tonight made his heart ache.
