Chapter 259 259 Marriage
Before Qin Xiaoxiao could even react, Mu Jin had already taken her pulse.
"It's nothing serious. It's probably because your period just started. It will get better gradually. Just try to avoid getting your body wet with cold water."
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at Mu Jin with a puzzled look, then nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand."
The original owner of this body had a heart condition, and she didn't notice? This body was severely depleted before, and she didn't notice that either?
This is supposed to be a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor? He doesn't seem that great!
Could it be because of the spiritual spring water?
Qin Xiaoxiao suppressed her doubts and smiled as she thanked Mu Jin, "Thank you so much, Sister Mu Jin. I'll treat you to a meal later."
Mu Jin nodded seriously, "That's a good idea, but let's wait until you're feeling better before we talk about it."
"Speaking of which, you've treated me twice already, remember to pay me back later!"
After saying that, Mu Jin ignored Qin Xiaoxiao and turned back into the house.
Qin Xiaoxiao twitched her lips, speechless.
The female lead is way too greedy for small advantages!
My persona is about to collapse!
"Xiaoxiao, why did you come out? Go back and lie down."
Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Su Lu carrying two pheasants as he came in through the back door.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu in surprise, "You went up the mountain?"
Su Lu nodded. "Yes, I wanted to nourish you, so I caught two pheasants to make soup for you."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded as she looked at the pheasant in Su Lu's hand. "Sure, but I can't finish two. How about you take one home?"
Su Lu shook his head and scoffed, "Forget it. How many good things have I given them over the years? Who has thanked me? Just one house and they've already shown their true colors. Let's keep our distance from each other in the future."
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed softly, "That's true. How much does it cost to build a house? Just over a hundred yuan. How many hundred yuan have you given them over the years?"
I'm baffled. They'd abandon you for a mere hundred-odd yuan. What's wrong with their brains?
Su Lu poured the hot water from the pot into a large basin, then put the pheasant with its neck slit into it, and sat on a stool to remove the feathers.
"To sacrifice long-term interests for immediate gains is to have a narrow vision."
Su Lu's cold and ruthless comments were the most hurtful, and they hurt his own heart the most.
Seeing Su Lu's stern face and gloomy expression, Qin Xiaoxiao stopped trying to persuade him and turned back into the house.
He has to figure out for himself what it means to be abandoned and betrayed by his family. No amount of persuasion will change that. After all, they are his relatives. His parents and brothers are still there. Even if the emotional bond is broken, the blood ties cannot be severed. No matter where he goes, he will always be surnamed Su and will have the same blood of the Su family as his family.
It was precisely this blood relation that hurt him even more.
After each of them ate two bowls of chicken soup, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu felt much more energetic. They seemed to have completely forgotten about the Su family and got together to discuss the wedding, which was scheduled for ten days from now.
The two planned to go to the county to get their marriage certificate first. On their wedding day, Qin Xiaoxiao would leave the Qin family home, then walk around the village back to the educated youth compound, where they would live together from then on.
The educated youth compound was close to the Qin family home, making it convenient for Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu to return to the Qin family home.
The newly built house of the Su family was a bit far from the educated youth compound, requiring a fifteen-minute walk, which made Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao very satisfied.
Today was supposed to be Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan's engagement banquet, and everyone in the village had been notified. However, the engagement banquet was canceled without reason, so the villagers were naturally curious about what had happened.
Then, thanks to the deliberate spreading of Aunt Song and Aunt Liu, the people of Qinjiagou soon learned about the good deeds Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan had done in the county.
The people of Qinjiagou were in an uproar.
"You're getting married anyway, can't you just put up with it?"
“Who says it isn’t? Nowhere else is acceptable, it has to be done in the city.”
"We've embarrassed ourselves in the city. What will people think of us Qinjiagou people now?"
"We probably won't be among the advanced production teams this year. These troublemakers! If it weren't for them, our village would be number one again."
“That’s right. Ever since these educated youth came to the village, we haven’t had a single good day. They’re always causing trouble, one problem after another.”
"It's just a pity for Xiaoxiao; she's still focused on organizing Zhou Zhiqing's engagement banquet."
"Sigh, who can argue with that? I heard that Xiao Xiao bought all sorts of nice things for Zhou Zhiqing, and even asked her second aunt to buy a lot of defective items that didn't require coupons, which were really expensive."
"That must cost a lot of money, right?"
"However, it should be at least thirty or forty?"
"That's a lot! I heard they even made two thick cotton quilts for them. Cotton is so expensive this year!"
"Yeah, not bad. Cotton is really expensive this year. Even with coupons, you can't buy it."
...
The villagers were talking about it, and they all felt sorry for Qin Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaoxiao, nestled in the educated youth compound, let out a satisfied burp, lay back on the kang (a heated brick bed), and continued to sleep.
Five days later, Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu went to the city to get their marriage certificate, but Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't see what it looked like. Su Lu carefully put it in his arms and never saw it again.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't care, since she had no intention of getting a divorce anyway, and she wouldn't need that thing much in the future.
Her view on marriage is that there is only widowhood, not divorce.
She would show no mercy to Su Lu if he dared to betray her.
Su Lu had no idea of Qin Xiaoxiao's plans at this time. After returning to the village, he urged the Su family to move.
After Su Lu's repeated urging, the Su family finally moved into their new house three days after the couple registered their marriage, and also hosted a celebratory feast for the entire village.
After the Su family finished moving, Su Lu was completely relieved and began to prepare for his wedding with Qin Xiaoxiao.
On April 1st, Qin Xiaoxiao went to the city to collect her money again, and then spent it all at the supply and marketing cooperative. She mainly bought two new outfits and a pair of new leather shoes for Su Lu, and that wasn't enough, so she bought some more for herself.
April 5th, the day after Qingming Festival, is the day Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu officially got married.
Before dawn, Qin Xiaoxiao was woken up by the Su sisters and Liu Meijuan. While she was still groggy, they gave her a thorough makeover. By the time she was fully awake, Su Lu was already standing outside the Qin family's gate.
Mu Jin looked at Qin Xiaoxiao speechlessly.
"You're getting married today, how come you're so carefree that you're sleeping like a pig?"
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her in shock.
Female lead, please maintain your persona. Where's your aloofness? The goofy side doesn't suit you.
Outside the Qin family compound, the Su sisters, Liu Meijuan, and some female educated youth from the educated youth compound helped to stop Su Lu. Old Mrs. Qin and Qin Aiguo stood in the courtyard, one with a gloomy face and the other crying, which frightened Su Lu so much that he couldn't speak clearly.
Qin Aiguo glanced at Su Lu with disdain, then pulled his wife back two steps and hid under the eaves of the side room.
Seeing that Qin Aiguo had hidden to the side, Su Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when faced with Qin Ye's difficult behavior again, he didn't find it too hard to accept.
Qin Feng didn't want his sister to be taken away by Su Lu so easily, because the questions he asked were quite tricky, and the main point was that he didn't want his sister to get married.
Qin Xiaoxiao waited for a long time inside the house but Su Lu didn't come in. Driven by curiosity, she pushed open the window and leaned on the windowsill to watch the excitement.
