Soon, the food was served, and the meal was eaten quite peacefully.
To be honest, the aunties were a little disappointed. Given Wang Lanhua's personality, she hadn't actually made things difficult for Su Nianxue.
Is this still Wang Lanhua?
By the time we finished eating, it was already pitch black.
At this moment, Su Jianguo spoke up, "Don't leave tonight, just stay home and rest for the night! Running around like this must be exhausting."
"No, let's go back!"
It's not far, we can come again tomorrow morning!
Besides, I'm too lazy to clean it up, am I?
Given her tiny room, I reckon the moment she stepped out the door, Wang Lanhua would have already emptied her things.
Sure enough, Wang Lanhua immediately replied, "It's okay, Xiaolong slept in your old room. He can sleep with us tonight."
He's just a little kid, not dirty at all, so Yanbai can sleep in that room.
You can sleep with Jiaojiao tonight, so you two sisters can chat."
Wang Lanhua quickly arranged things for them.
Seeing how lively and energetic she was today, Su Nianxue suddenly had a slightly mischievous thought.
"Hey, why didn't Xiaolong's maternal grandparents come today?"
I remember Uncle Fugui also went home, didn't he?
Jiaojiao's wedding is such a big deal, why didn't they even offer to come and see her off?
Upon hearing this, Wang Lanhua's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
She glanced at Su Jianguo subconsciously, and seeing that his expression hadn't changed much, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, your grandparents are sick, so they need someone to stay home."
We are wealthy and filial, and we were thinking of staying home to take care of our two elderly parents, so we didn't come.
Filial piety?
Wang Fugui's character is completely unrelated to those two words!
He probably took so much money from Su Jianguo that he's afraid Su will come after him for more, so he doesn't dare show his face.
"Oh, I see!"
That's alright, even if the person can't be there, the gift is enough!
I saw my uncle Fugui on the street a few days ago. He was very generous; he bought five catties of meat right away.
I have to say, he looks more prosperous than he did a while ago. I guess he made a lot of money on his trip to the south.
Jiaojiao is his own niece; it wouldn't be right not to give her a big red envelope, would it?
Upon hearing this, the last trace of a smile vanished from Wang Lanfang's face.
She turned around and glanced at Su Jianguo with trepidation.
She really knows how to rub salt in the wound; this brat is just there to bring her down.
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat?"
Your uncle lost money in business, and your maternal grandparents are in poor health; the family's money has long been spent.
Where would he get the money to buy so much meat? If you're going to make something up, at least make it believable!
"I didn't make this up."
He would go to town to buy meat every few days, at a meat stall not far from where we sold tofu. We could see it clearly.
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask the boss. See if I'm lying." Su Nianxue's expression was incredibly innocent.
What she said is indeed true.
Wang Fugui never skimped on himself; he would buy meat at every market, though he never bought five jin (2.5 kg) at a time.
Wang Lanhua really wanted to tear her mouth apart. Why did she have to bring up these things for no reason?
"Dad, don't listen to Nianxue's nonsense. She's probably seeing things."
Su Jianguo's expression became calmer, but his eyes grew even more gloomy, as if a storm was brewing within them.
"Nianxue, since you insist on going back, then you should go! Be careful on the road, don't fall!"
"Okay, then you should get some rest too. We'll come back earlier tomorrow." Su Nianxue pulled Gu Yanbai and gracefully left the stage.
They had just stepped into the yard when they heard Wang Lanhua shout in terror, "Dad, calm down!"
Today is Jiaojiao's special day, so please give me some face.
"You know you care about saving face?"
Our Su family is almost ruined, what face do you still care about?
Not only did you transfer the family's money to the Wang family, but you also wanted your daughter to have a respectable marriage.
They actually dared to take the grain from the granary to town to sell for money.
Wang Lanhua, how can you be so capable? Are you trying to let my whole family starve to death?
"Honey, didn't I already explain this to you?"
Jiaojiao has no money left. How can she get married empty-handed?
"What will her in-laws think of her then?" came Wang Lanhua's pleading voice from inside the house.
"Didn't you steal the money she had and give it to your family?"
Since you care so much about your daughter and your family, then you should leave tomorrow and go live with them.
My Su family temple is too small to accommodate such a great Buddha as you.
Su Jianguo's voice gradually calmed down, indicating that he had vented his anger.
Su Nianxue was surprised to hear so much information in such a short time.
Wow, Wang Lanhua is really capable!
When he ran out of money, he stole Su Jiaojiao's betrothal gifts to give to his parents.
In order to prepare a dowry for Su Jiaojiao, they also scrambled up the family's grain.
She's really been quite good to her own daughter, Su Jiaojiao.
I wonder how the Su family will manage next year when there's a shortage of young and old food.
She pulled Gu Yanbai along and quickly walked out of the Su family's courtyard, then got on her bicycle and sped away.
One person was riding a bicycle, while another person followed behind, shining a bright orange beam of light straight out.
"Gu Yanbai, can you see?"
"I can see it! Look how round the moon is tonight!"
That's right, the moon is fullest on the sixteenth day of the lunar month.
A bright, white moon, like a jade plate, hung in the sky, shining on the ground as bright as day.
