Chapter 76, Wedding Wine
After hearing this, everyone realized that, yes, not only was Aunt He San in He Laosan's family powerful, but the kid in front of them was also not an easy person to deal with.
Those who made sarcastic remarks took a step back. Some men who wanted to watch the show couldn't help but reply, "What are you talking about, Xiaoze? We are from the same village, how could he not know what kind of person you are? It is a blessing for Xiaoxue to get married."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Mei Xue was speechless. It wasn't that she couldn't survive if she didn't marry him, she just couldn't bear to leave her grandma.
"You are wrong. It is not her blessing to marry me, but it is the blessing of my family, He Laosan, that I marry her." This is the time to save face for his daughter-in-law.
What Mei Xue hates most is talking nonsense to others. She would rather use her hands than her mouth. She would just pick up the things and go up the mountain.
He Anze could only follow.
On the way back to the mountain, He Anze stayed by Mei Xue's side and taught her, "These people in the village can't stand seeing others do well. If they say something sour again in the future, just start scolding them. If you can't win, tell me and I'll scold them."
But what he didn't know was that Mei Xue didn't like to talk, but liked to take action.
"If beating a woman wasn't ugly, it would be more satisfying to just do it." He knew the people in the village better than she did. Some of them just had foul mouths.
Mei Xue walked forward step by step without saying a word.
There were too many things to take away in one trip, so An Cheng stayed by the carriage, waiting for He Anze to come down and get them.
"An Cheng, there are so many things, I guess they spent a lot of money on it, right?" Some shameless people all gathered in front of An Cheng's carriage.
An Cheng is a little kid, he is not that shameless, "I don't know, Brother An Ze brought his sister-in-law to the county town to buy them today, there are so many, I am afraid it will cost some money."
As soon as An Cheng finished speaking, his mother came over and said, "You little bastard, you know so much." After saying that, Zhang Lanhua pulled her son away and stayed there to guard the place herself.
Zhang Lanhua is An Cheng's mother and He Wuye's daughter-in-law. She is a cousin of He Anze's family.
A lady came down.
He Laowu and He Laosan are brothers, and He Laowu is also the only living old man in He Anze's He family.
"Oh, Lanhua is here, why don't we just ask? It's not against the law to ask." Li Chunhua was already feeling very uncomfortable, and with He Anze's words just now, she felt even worse.
"Whether it's against the law or not has nothing to do with me, but why should I answer you? Humph, don't think that everyone doesn't know that you have pink eye. You just can't stand seeing my An Ze doing well."
When she, Zhang Lanhua, was not easy to bully, Mei Xue really brought honor to the He family. "Besides, if you have the ability, you can marry a capable wife for your son."
"Don't be jealous if you can't get married. Don't you see what kind of person your own son is?" Aunt Lanhua has a sharp tongue.
When An Cheng saw his mother coming, he quietly picked up his things and went to his third grandmother's house.
"Zhang Lanhua, shut your stinky mouth. What's wrong with my son? What's wrong? My son is very filial." Li Chunhua said unconvinced.
"Hmph, it's just these little things, you talk as if my family can't afford it." Compared to her son, she is not at all inferior, her son is very capable.
"If you can afford it, then buy it. We don't envy you. Why are you being so jealous? If you have the ability, ask your son to buy it for you. Let us open our eyes."
"Hmph, I don't even think highly of this stuff. It's just some fruit candy. I usually eat it as a meal." Li Chunhua really didn't lie on this point.
His son knew that she liked to eat candy, so he would buy it for her every time he came back. If she hadn't been reluctant to do so, she would have shared it with them long ago.
"Eat it as a meal? Haha, why don't you say that your family relies on sugar to survive?" Sugar is so precious, she didn't believe it.
Not only Zhang Lanhua didn't believe it, no one believed it.
"Sister Chunhua, your family has so many candies, please give me some. Anxin wanted to eat candies yesterday, but our family is poor and we had no money to buy them." A naive woman immediately stepped forward to please Li Chunhua.
"Get away from me. Why should I let you eat the food in my house? If you have the guts, ask your man to buy it." Li Chunhua pushed the silly woman away.
"Zhang Lanhua, don't be so proud. These things are not yours."
The argument turned nasty as it went on.
When He Anze came down again, he carried the goods directly up the mountain in a basket.
"Aunt, Ancheng will play at my house for a while and won't be back for dinner tonight." He Anze said to his aunt very politely.
"Okay, I got it. You can go back soon." After taking all the things, Zhang Lanhua also walked home.
Life in the village is like this, with people gossiping about other people's affairs. If you really want to say that there is anyone with harmful intentions, there really is none.
They just want to feel happy for a moment, and they like to build their own happiness on the suffering of others.
As soon as Mei Xue returned home, she found her grandmother and several old ladies at home, and she didn't know what they were discussing.
When they saw Mei Xue, they all looked at her.
These old ladies are not relatives. They are all blessed elderly people in the village. They were all invited by Grandma He to come to her house to comb the hair and make the bed for the young couple.
Mei Xue bought some new quilts and other things last time, and it’s just right to use them now. Grandma He also prepared the quilt covers a long time ago, so now all the old lady needs to do is take them out and use them.
It’s only four or five days away from Mid-Autumn Festival.
In four or five days, time may be a bit tight and there are too many things to prepare. Grandma He definitely cannot handle it all by herself. In addition, after losing her son and daughter-in-law, she is no longer a happy old lady.
There were some things she still couldn't touch.
The old people in the village are very particular about these things.
"Xiaoxue, come here quickly." Grandma He called Meixue and introduced her to the three elderly people in front of her.
Why are there three blessed old men? It’s because the number three sounds like a homonym for it, meaning abundant mountains and abundant wealth.
Mei Xue finished drinking the water and walked to her grandmother, "Grandma."
"Hey, Xiaoxue, this is your Grandma Li, this is your Grandma Jinghua, and this is your Grandma Meng." The three of them have sons and daughters and have happy families.
"Grandma Li, Grandma Jinghua, Grandma Meng." Mei Xue called out with a smile.
"Oh, dear, she's a good girl. You can tell at a glance that she's blessed." The three old ladies immediately responded with a smile.
Seeing that Xiaoxue was a little uncomfortable, Grandma He asked her to prepare dinner. It was not because she was not afraid of tiring her out, but because she still had some things to discuss.
"Stop praising her, Xiaoxue. Go cook. They are having dinner at our house tonight." This dinner has to be treated.
"Okay, grandmas, I'll go cook first." Facing them, Mei Xue might as well cook.
After entering the kitchen, Mei Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief. She felt a little annoyed, "Getting married is such a hassle."
Invite this person today, invite that person tomorrow, there is never a quiet moment in Mei Xue's home.
Fortunately, it is the busy farming season now, otherwise we would have invited more people and Mei Xue would have gone crazy.
Finally made it to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
