The Wei family couldn't do anything about Su Ti, so they just watched them go into the house, their teeth itching with hatred at the thought of those things.
Wei Changgen thought that he could have moved up the ranks, but now it seemed like that was no longer an option.
The family thought about what Suti had said and were afraid that their in-laws would come looking for them, since they were the ones who had done something wrong.
In the countryside, even if you can't afford the traditional "three turns and one sound" wedding gifts, you still need to prepare a "thirty-six legs" wedding procession and give some money as a wedding gift.
Bai Dao had prepared everything, but Wei Baichuan and the others had truly forgotten.
Being parents isn't easy either. With two sons getting married all at once, they're so busy that there are always things they can't attend to.
Besides, the second daughter-in-law has money and doesn't lack these things; she doesn't understand the difficulties her parents face at all.
Wei Changgen was even more annoyed. He had so many things to manage every day, and his wife was the one who asked him about these trivial matters at home.
Now, all the responsibility has been pushed onto him. Thinking about what his second daughter-in-law said, that he was using his position as brigade leader to bully the educated youth who were all alone and helpless here, he felt flustered and confused.
Su Nianyou, standing to the side, was even more frightened. Thinking of her parents, she shuddered.
She didn't care about any of that; after all, she wasn't their real daughter.
If they can't resist their aunt's methods and return the money, that's perfect. Then Suti won't be able to find any excuses to bully her anymore.
If she doesn't pay it back, since the matter has already fallen on their shoulders, there's nothing they can do about it.
Without a letter of introduction, you can't go anywhere. At most, they can write letters to scold her, but it won't hurt her, and she won't care.
Thinking about it this way, Su Nianyou felt much more at ease. Su Ti wanted to scare her? No way.
Suti was unaware of the various thoughts swirling in their minds; she was currently comforting her man.
"Baichuan, didn't we agree not to care about those who don't care about us? You have me now, and we'll have children in the future."
“We are the real family. I am petty. From now on, you can only have our little family in your heart. Those unimportant people are not allowed to have any place in your heart.”
Su Ti was quite pleased. If the Wei family continued to do this a few more times, Wei Baichuan would truly lose all ties with them.
From now on, she won't need a reason for anything she does.
"Wife, do you know that I was raised by my grandmother? I was already thirteen years old when I returned home, long past the age when I was close to my parents."
“I’m not close to them, but I know they are my parents. I think that if I do more work, they can do less.”
“If I put in a little more effort, they will keep me in their hearts. I can understand their affection for their younger brother.”
“He’s the youngest in the family, so it’s okay for him to eat a little more, as long as he gets by in important matters.”
"Maybe I'm just not likable. No matter what I do, they don't see it. I'm not good with words and I'm not good at expressing myself. I've always been dispensable in this family."
"Gradually, I stopped caring. I just wanted to take good care of them in the future and stop thinking about unrealistic things."
"No matter how much I back down, they still can't see my difficulties. They still ignore me when it comes to such an important event as getting married."
Wei Baichuan had been harboring grievances for a long time, but he didn't know who to tell.
Now, not only is he being wronged, but his wife is also suffering along with him.
Even so, his parents threatened him, saying that whatever he did was wrong.
"There is a concept of fate between people, even between parents and children. You and they may be destined to meet but not to be together."
"Since they don't like you, there's no point in you being sad for them. They won't feel sad at all."
"Believe it or not, they still feel wronged, that you're disobedient, and that you're an ingrate."
"Even if you feed them your blood, it won't be as good as a smile from Wei Baidao or Wei Baide. They have no heart for you."
Suti knew this from her past life. It was understandable that her family wasn't saddened by her death, but it was disheartening that not a single member of her family grieved for Wei Baichuan's death.
"Wife, do you regret it? Do you regret marrying me?" Wei Baichuan felt that his wife was so good, while he and his family were so unbearable.
"I don't regret it. I married you, not your family. We are the ones who are meant to spend our lives together."
"I don't care about the Wei family. Look at the past two days since our wedding, have they gotten anything good from me?"
Suti knew that if she had treated any other man the way she did to his family, those chauvinistic men would have jumped out to criticize her, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.
Wei Baichuan knew nothing, yet he stood firmly behind her, protecting her even without doing anything.
"Wife, don't worry, this is the last time. From now on, you will be the only one in my heart. If they abandon me and don't care about me, then I won't care about them either."
“From now on, I won’t put any more thought into them than their retirement.”
Wei Baichuan took a deep breath; from now on, he would only live for his wife.
"That's right. And don't take your father's words to heart. What do you mean by owing them for a lifetime? He was born to your grandparents too. Does he owe them for a lifetime?"
"When your grandparents passed away, why didn't he go with them to pay off their debts? He just thought you were easy to bully and wanted to take advantage of you."
"Don't think they'll use you to threaten me. You know my temper; they can't control me. As long as we're of one mind, we'll definitely be able to make a good life together in the future."
Su Ti removed the last thorn in Wei Baichuan's heart; she knew that this man was afraid of her being wronged.
"Wife, you're so good to me." Wei Baichuan hugged her tightly, not knowing how to cherish her enough. How did he end up with such a wonderful wife?
The day passed in a state of constant unease among the Wei family, and the dinner was still unpalatable.
As usual, Suti divided half of the food among Wei Baichuan's portions, and this time no one dared to utter a word.
The dinner table was unusually quiet, with only Wei Baidao wondering what good things were still in his second brother's packages.
Looking at the watch on my second brother's wrist, I wonder what else his mother-in-law bought for him.
He realized that all these things originally belonged to him, but he took a wrong step and now he has nothing.
After the meal, everyone went back to their own rooms.
"Wear this T-shirt and rubber shoes tomorrow, and make sure you bring your water bottle with you tomorrow. I'll make you some malted milk powder then."
Wei Baichuan ate dumplings; he had gotten used to having an extra meal.
While eating, he watched his wife chatter away like a bee, saying heartwarming things in his ear.
What merit did Wei Baichuan possess to find such a good wife? If he lacked familial ties in exchange for this romantic relationship, then he would be willing.
