Chapter 191: Big Brother and Big Sister Are the Best Match
When Xu Qingye got married this time, Jiang and Xu Yongwang spent most of the night discussing whether to invite his sister-in-law.
Finally, she decided that, after all, she was Xu Qingye's aunt, so she had to be invited to Xu Qingye's wedding. As for whether she would come or not, it was up to her.
However, Xu Cui did not disappoint everyone and did not come on the wedding day.
…
Mrs. Hu held Song Yuntang's hand.
"Your aunt was delayed by something yesterday and didn't make it to your wedding. She only arrived a little while ago today. She is afraid that you may mind, so she is discussing it with us."
Getting married is not something that is done on a spur of the moment basis.
At least we informed them half a month in advance.
Saying that he didn't make it was just what Hu said. Everyone knows the truth.
Song Yuntang smiled and said, "Before today, I didn't know there was such a person as my aunt. My parents have always been broad-minded and I think they didn't take this matter to heart. In this case, my aunt doesn't have to take it to heart."
Xu Cui raised her eyebrows.
"My second brother and his wife never mentioned me to you?"
Song Yuntang pretended to be surprised.
"Why did my parents mention my aunt to me for no reason? Could it be that my aunt has helped our family in the past? Or are they telling me that my aunt didn't attend our wedding? I don't even know my aunt, and it doesn't seem appropriate for them to tell me this."
This Xu Cui must have felt very important because she was the youngest girl in the family.
She never holds grudges overnight.
No matter whether it is physical or mental, it is better to pay it back on the spot if you can, so as to avoid feeling that you have not performed well and wasting your time afterwards.
Xu Wencheng, who was standing aside, heard what Song Yuntang said and raised his hand to hide the smile on the corner of his lips.
My sister-in-law seemed as indifferent as my eldest brother in the past, but she turned out to be quite useful at critical moments.
This is good, I don't have to worry about her being bullied in the future.
"You..." Xu Cui snorted coldly and looked at Mrs. Hu, "Mother, why did Qingye marry such a sharp-tongued wife? I'm afraid she can't even catch up with half of our Xiaoqian."
The oldest of the three girls standing aside lowered her head and said nothing, looking shy.
Six years ago, when her mother brought her to the Xu family and mentioned to her second uncle that she should marry her cousin Qingye, she was already eleven years old at the time and was not at an age where she didn't know anything.
My cousin is well-educated and smart, and his appearance and temperament are one in a million among farmers' families. There is no woman who would not like him.
But later my cousin fell ill.
She stopped thinking about it.
At that time, my mother was still at home gloating over his misfortune.
But I didn't expect that my cousin's illness would be cured inexplicably, and they got married suddenly.
Song Yuntang was not stupid, so he naturally heard something else from Xu Cui's words. She was trying to sow discord between her and Xu Qingye.
"What era is this? Are you still thinking about pairing up cousins? Aren't you afraid that the baby might not be smart?"
Aunt Zhang at the side asked hurriedly.
"Is there any significance in this statement?"
Just now, the younger sister-in-law suggested that her fifteen-year-old second daughter be engaged to her youngest son who just turned sixteen, saying that the two children are almost of marriageable age and it would be better for them to stay in the family. She was not very happy about this at first.
With an environment like that of the Cheng family and the selfish character of the aunt who cannot distinguish right from wrong, the kind of daughter she has been raised to be is really worrying.
But because of what happened in the past few years, my aunt has been visiting home less often.
What my parents meant was that if the girl was a good one, they should consider it.
This child seemed to be fine on the surface, but she just couldn't like him, so she had never given in. Now after hearing what Song Yuntang said, she was even more reluctant to let her son marry the second girl from her aunt's family.
Song Yuntang said, "Cousins are close relatives. The risk of disease for offspring born from close relatives of no more than three generations is much higher than that of children born to ordinary couples. There should be many examples of cousins marrying each other in real life."
Having said this, Xu Wencheng hurriedly expressed his support.
"Come to think of it, it's true. After Goudan from the Liu family in the next village married his cousin, their first child was abnormal since childhood."
"There is also Erzhu from Yangliu Village. He and his wife had been married for three years without any pregnancy. Finally, they got pregnant, but the child died within five days of birth."
"And what else..."
The more they spoke, the paler the faces of Xu Cui's eldest daughter Cheng Xiaoqian and second daughter Cheng Xiaofang became, and the expressions on the faces of the old couple Xu Yuande and his uncle's family became more serious.
"That's enough!" Xu Cui said angrily, "Can you say something nice?"
Xu Wencheng muttered, "Why is my aunt so angry here? I didn't say anything else. Could it be that my aunt still wants my eldest brother to marry my cousin? That's impossible. My eldest brother and his wife have a good relationship. My parents are also very satisfied with my eldest sister-in-law. You can't do such a thing to break up a couple."
In his heart, his elder brother and his wife are the best match.
We can't let outsiders destroy it.
Xu Cui's chest was heaving violently with anger.
"Dad, Mom, Xu Wencheng is talking nonsense, are you not going to do anything about it? Ordinary couples may have bad children. What does this have to do with cousins? What he just said was just a coincidence!"
Xu Yuande glanced in the direction of Xu Wencheng, then in the direction of Song Yuntang, then said solemnly, "Tang girl is a good doctor. She cured Qingye's illness. Since she said so, she must have her reasons. We must be cautious about Xiaofang and Liangping's matter."
Hearing this, Xu Wencheng breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that you didn’t come here for your elder brother.
Then it's okay.
My uncle and aunt are the ones who are concerned about the affairs of my uncle's family.
But since my sister-in-law said that cousins can't get married, given my grandfather's cautious nature, he should listen to her, right?
He was just busy persuading his aunt's family to leave, so he blurted out all the rumors he had heard in the past two years without giving it any thought.
Now that I think about it carefully, it is true that many children born to cousins suffer from illnesses.
It seems that what my sister-in-law said is not groundless!
Xu Cui pointed at Song Yuntang.
"What does a teenage girl like her know? Dad, Mom!"
She pointed at herself.
"I am the daughter of the Xu family. Why do you never consider me every time I come to my parents' house to discuss something with you? Now even the words of this granddaughter-in-law who just got married for one day are more effective than mine, right?"
Xu Yongfu said sternly, "Xu Cui, my mother is not in good health, what are you talking about here? Even if our two families are not related by blood, you are still my and Yongwang's sister. Do you think we will not care about your in-laws' problems in the future?"
"Did you ever do anything when I was looked down upon by my mother's family?" Xu Cui asked loudly.
Xu Yongfu didn't indulge her either.
"How come you didn't care? Did we feed the money and food we gave you every year to the dogs?"
Hearing this, Xu Cui sat down on the stool feeling a little guilty and said nothing more.
