Chapter 419 Enemy
Near the corner, Xu Yan'er was holding a glass of sake, her eyes wandering around with a bit of fear.
She didn't expect that her words would attract so many people to look at her.
"Mr. Xue Zhuang, you are drunk! If you feel dizzy, let our girl help you go out and rest for a while!" Lin Tao's wife said gently.
There was a table under the eaves outside, looked after by Madam Yun and others, and the children from each family were allowed to sit there, including Xu Yaner's little girl.
Letting her go out would mean sending her to a group of children.
Xu Yan'er didn't know if she was really drunk or angry. She put down the wine cup and said, "Sister Lin, what did I say wrong? Isn't it she who has the final say on Miss Song's marriage?
Have you all heard the rumor before? She got married right away, and the new son-in-law didn't even show his face once.
Those who know think that Miss Song doesn't want a big wedding, while those who don't think the new son-in-law is ugly and has a green face and fangs.
Having said this, she was determined to go all out.
Xu Yan'er has been holding a grudge in her heart, and she has been having a miserable time for the past month.
Not only was he scolded by Xue Zhuang for provoking Song Liyun, but even his eldest brother who lived at home was driven away.
She cried at home until her eyes were red and swollen, and she didn't dare go out for several days.
Since she gave birth to the child, she has never been scolded like this by Xue Zhuang.
When Xu Yan'er thought of her brother, she felt resentful.
Ever since Xue Zhuang became successful in Suijin Town, his brother from his mother's side has been jealous.
However, Xu Yaner's sister-in-law was sent back, and the two families broke up and lost contact.
It was only after she gave birth to a child and her parents came to send her a confinement gift that she started moving around again.
The sister-in-law from her natal family was too embarrassed to show up, so the ones who came to Suijin Town were Mrs. Cui and Xu Yaner's elder brother Xu Zhuang.
After coming here a few times, Xu Zhuang stayed in the town and worked for Xue's brother-in-law, earning more than one or two taels of silver a month.
But when he saw those military households raising rabbits for the Song family, and heard that the scented rabbits at Tianxiang Tower were 300 coins each, he became interested.
He told Xue Zhuang that the Song family was cruel. They were both military households, but they made a lot of money themselves and were harsh on the rabbit households.
On the other hand, he also raised rabbits at home, and he only thought that when the price of live rabbits rose to 100 wen, he would specialize in this business, collect some wild rabbits, mix them in and send them to Tianxianglou.
Xue Zhuang didn’t think too much about it. He didn’t need money now. He just wanted to gain some fame among the military households.
If people are praised for too long, they will easily become arrogant.
He got carried away and told Song Liyun about raising the price.
However, after being scolded by Song Liyun, he came to his senses. He scolded the eldest brother of the Xu family that day and told him to go back to raising rabbits.
It was no use for Xu Yaner to cry, she could only watch her elder brother being driven away.
She knew that this matter was related to Song Liyun, but she didn't dare to say it.
The reason is simple, she doesn't dare to provoke.
But not long after, she heard Xue Zhuang say that he was coming to have a drink. It turned out that Song Liyun had married a herdsman.
Xu Yan'er was suddenly angry and annoyed.
She had just been laughing on the street at Song Liyun for not getting married yet, and the next moment she saw this lively wedding banquet, it was like a slap in the face, leaving a swelling.
Moreover, she couldn't avoid coming to drink.
Xue Zhuang warned her that if she didn't want to live a good life and didn't want to help with social events, he would marry another woman who could handle the situation.
Xue Zhuang was also furious. Not only was Xu Yan'er unable to establish a relationship with Song Liyun, but she also caused trouble.
He is not the kind of person who would lose his mind over a woman.
He likes children, so he can find another woman to have the child with and it will still be his.
Xu Yaner came with gritted teeth.
I'm here, but I still have to vent the pent-up grievances.
Besides, her wedding banquet was so shabby and was ruined by Song Zhenping. She finally found a chance to avenge herself.
It's no wonder she said Song Liyun's marriage was strange. Not only was the engagement silent, but even the banquet wasn't a banquet, it wasn't a wedding banquet at all. Not only did she not understand it, but others couldn't guess it either, but they just didn't say it out loud like she did.
The room was completely silent, with only the clatter of dishes and chopsticks to be heard.
Lin Tao's wife frowned and scolded, "Xue Zhuang's family, what nonsense are you talking about?
Border herders have their own wedding customs. Even though the new son-in-law didn't show up, didn't you see the elders bringing their people? Who has the decency to do that?
Don't think you know everything just because you've been married before. I've heard that your marriage was very simple! You followed Master Xue after eating a bowl of acorn tofu.
Zhao Tingduo has a special identity. Suijin Town is now prosperous and bustling, and its population is also complex.
For safety reasons, he no longer appears in public.
Unlike Zhao Tingduo who was reluctant to show up in public, Elder Shan and his group did not hide from others when they came here.
A team of carefully dressed handsome horses, adorned with red and flowers, came to Baolinju, causing a sensation. It was even said that the talk in the town at that time was all about the Song family's marriage.
Because it was not leaked in advance, things seemed a bit hasty. Although there was no big red sedan chair, the horse team that came to welcome the bride made it impossible to underestimate the man's sincerity.
Everyone knows that horses are more valuable than cows, even more valuable than people, let alone a group of handsome horses.
Now that Xu Yaner says there is no groom, Lin Tao's wife can refute her with confidence.
There was a quarrel in the house, and the women from the military families lowered their heads and dared not get involved.
Xue Zhuang is in charge of defense in Suijin Town, especially the military households are under his charge. They usually flatter and fawn on Xu Yan'er.
Lin Tao's wife is not afraid of Xu Yan'er. Lin Tao is the owner of Tianxianglou. In front of Song Liyun, he has more say than Xue Zhuang.
In particular, Lin Tao's wife first helped grow vegetables in Baolinju, and now she is in charge of the vegetables in Tianxianglou and also raises a yard of chickens.
She could even have a seat at meetings at the Suijin Guild Hall.
Xu Yan'er was so angry that her face turned pale. Her marriage was a concern for her.
The better her life got, the more she regretted not having held a proper ceremony at that time. Now that she was being held against her, she couldn't even say a word.
If she had a good relationship with Song Liyun, Song Liyun might have supported her in finding a reason to hold another wedding. Now she could only keep it in her heart.
Xu Yan'er burst into tears after being exposed: "You...you are bullying me! Song Liyun, this is your wedding banquet, and you just stand there and watch people scold me like this!"
She had been slapped three times by Song Liyun and had lost her confidence. More than a year later, after giving birth to a child, she was instigated by her brother to dare to laugh at her outside the guild hall.
But her brother was chased away by Xue Zhuang, and she held her breath and said a few words.
But if she were to act like a spoiled brat at this moment, she wouldn't dare to do so even if she had the courage.
Song Liyun had been sitting there expressionless. When Xu Yan'er asked her, she said calmly, "So you knew this was my wedding banquet. How could you have forgotten it just now? All you talk about is fighting and divorce, and all you talk about is that the groom is shameful.
Don't make a fuss, I'll call Xue Zhuang and ask him why he sent you here to disgust others!"
In the time it took to say these few words, Aunt Xu and Madam Yun, who were arranged by Song Liyun to stay outside, came into the room.
Song Liyun glanced at the sobbing Xu Yan'er and said to Madam Yun, "Auntie, go find someone outside the door to notify Master Xue to come and pick up his wife."
Madam Yun glared at Xu Yan'er, then went out angrily to call for help.
Soon, Xue Zhuang was brought into Baolinju by Han Ming.
Xu Yan'er's face was already tearful at this time, and there was pleading and fear in her eyes as she looked at Song Liyun.
