Chapter 75 Son-in-law meets father-in-law
There were so many people at the city gate that Su Wanwan was squeezed so hard that she could not even stand steadily. Her eyesight was not as good as Widow Liu's, and she could not see what the general looked like after looking for a long time.
There were too many people, and it was a bit stuffy. Hong Xing held an umbrella for Su Wanwan and couldn't help but said, "Madam, there are too many people here. Let's go back."
Su Wanwan was very relaxed. She had only been standing outside for a short while, so she naturally didn't want to go back so soon. She winked at Hong Xing and said, "It's good for your health to get some sun outside. Just don't complain."
The complaint she was talking about was naturally directed at Pei Changfeng. Hong Xing immediately expressed her loyalty, "Madam and I are of the same mind!"
Seeing the general's troops getting closer and closer to the city gate, Widow Liu became excited, "That general is so mighty!"
Perhaps she was too excited and suddenly fainted. Su Wanwan was scared and asked someone to carry her away.
On the other hand, Su Cha was annoyed that his daughter got married without any reason after he had been missing for a while. However, he heard that his son-in-law was a top scholar in the imperial examination, so he might be a good match for his daughter, Su Cha thought.
When entering the city, Su Cha glanced at the crowd and saw a group of people bustling about. He turned his head away with boredom, thinking only of waiting until the celebration banquet was over to go find his daughter, wife, and son.
It was really scary to see Widow Liu fainting. Su Wanwan was no longer in the mood to take a walk outside and hurried back to look after her.
Widow Liu said nothing after she woke up, and just kept crying. Su Wanwan was worried, "Why are you crying for no reason? If you feel uncomfortable, just say it out. Isn't it uncomfortable to keep it in your heart?"
Widow Liu wanted to say something but didn't dare to. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "I really think that general is like your father. I miss your father. He left too early..."
Su Wanwan was silent for a moment, and when she thought of her father's appearance, tears welled up in her eyes. "We are living a good life now. My father in the underworld would be happy if he knew about this. Don't think about these things anymore."
Widow Liu wiped her tears and said, "Yes, you are living a good life. Changfeng is also doing well. Chaochao and I have come to the capital to live a good life. It would be great if your father could live such a good life. He has been running around outside and has never been able to relax for a few days."
Su Chaochao on the side suddenly burst into tears, "Mom, I miss my dad, I miss my dad!"
Widow Liu and Su Chaochao hugged each other and cried bitterly. Su Wanwan also felt bad. She pushed the door open and went out to take a breath. Her eyes were sore and her heart was swollen and uncomfortable.
Xingzhou ran over and said, "Madam, the master said that there will be a celebration banquet in the palace tonight, so we have to come back later."
Su Wanwan touched her belly and said, "I know."
She turned around and said, "Hong Xing, come with me to see Qing Feng Wan."
Although the weather was hot, Qingfengwan still had many customers. Su Wanwan hadn't visited for half a month. When she came, she found a small table to sit at first. The new waiter didn't recognize her and brought her a pot of herbal tea and a pile of peaches with a smile, "Madam, you look unfamiliar. It seems like your first time here. Our food is delicious and affordable. I guarantee that you will want to come again after your first visit!"
Su Wanwan pretended to think, "What special dishes do you have here? I'm alone and I can't eat too much."
"You are alone, so one dish and one soup or two side dishes will be enough," the waiter poured tea for Su Wanwan attentively, "It's hot now, how about a cold dish? Cold shredded chicken, cold cucumber and shrimp will be fine, and a side dish. See what dishes you like, we have them all here."
"This waiter is pretty good," Su Wanwan whispered. She thought for a moment, "Then I'll have a bowl of cold shredded chicken and a bowl of mapo tofu."
The waiter responded and went to serve the dishes. Su Wanwan looked at the hygiene in the store and the attitude of the shopkeeper and other waiters, and nodded secretly in her heart.
Suddenly, a table of guests shouted, "What's wrong with the food in your restaurant? There are bugs in it!"
Upon hearing this, the customers in the restaurant put down their chopsticks and frowned.
Su Wanwan also looked over. The person was a man in his forties. He picked out a big fly from a bowl of fried meatballs.
"The meat in your store is definitely not fresh meat. Who knows when you bought the rotten meat and fried it to save costs before selling it to us." The man slammed the table every time he said it, attracting not only the customers in the store but also people outside to come over to watch the fun. "You are a conscienceless black shop!"
The shop owner, whose surname was Qiu, came over in a hurry. "Sir, let's talk it over. Why are you getting so angry? You're wrong to say our meat is bad. The meat in our shop is all fresh meat bought from the market every morning. We will never sell bad meat to customers just to save costs."
"If you say so, then so be it." The man said, "Who knows if you are saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs?"
Su Wanwan found a familiar figure in the crowd, who seemed to be the owner of the restaurant opposite.
The man kept chattering, refusing to accept compensation or let the owner explain, and was determined to ruin the restaurant's reputation.
Su Wanwan stood up, watched from the side for a while, and suddenly asked, "You said the fly was in the rotten meat?"
"Yes," the man glanced at Su Wanwan from head to toe, "You are a pregnant woman, so you'd better not come to this unscrupulous restaurant to eat. If something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Shopkeeper Qiu recognized Su Wanwan and was about to speak, but Su Wanwan shook her head at him.
"If it was a fly in the rotten meat, the meat would have definitely deformed when it was fried in the frying pan. How could it be lying on the plate waiting for you to pick it up?" Su Wanwan counted the number of meatballs on his plate. "And there are exactly ten meatballs on your plate. You haven't tasted any of them, and you say the meat is rotten. Isn't that unreasonable?"
Shopkeeper Qiu also spoke up, "Yes, it's hot now, and there are flies and mosquitoes flying everywhere. They must have flown here after the dishes were served. It's definitely not a problem with the meat."
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man started to act tough and put his foot on the chair. "So what you mean is that it's my problem? I am deliberately blackmailing you? Does that mean that if someone has problems eating at your restaurant in the future, it will be considered blackmail?"
Manager Qiu said coldly: "We will know if you are blackmailing us by going to the government office!"
Hearing the word "government", the man got scared and looked outside. "Okay, you guys are awesome. I admit defeat today!"
The man turned to leave, but Su Wanwan stopped him. "Hey, big brother, you have to make it clear. Otherwise, even if you leave, people will still think our store is a shady one. Try this meatball to see if it's stinky or not."
The man stared at Su Wanwan in surprise, "Okay, you two are in the same group!"
"Whether we are in the same group or not has nothing to do with this. What's important is that you intentionally blackmailed me. Do you admit it?" Su Wanwan said to Shopkeeper Qiu, "Send him to the police to find out whether he deliberately caused trouble or was instigated by someone. We can't let our store's reputation be ruined."
The waiter on the side held the man down. The man panicked and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong. I remember now, the flies flew over after the dishes were served. Please don't arrest me and take me to court!"
People are like this, they bully the weak and fear the strong. If Su Wanwan hadn't mentioned the meeting with the official today, Qing Fengwan's reputation would have been ruined in the future.
Su Wanwan said, "Since it is determined to be blackmail, I will let you go today. If you come here to cause trouble again, Manager Qiu, you will drive him out."
Shopkeeper Qiu quickly responded.
After this incident, Su Wanwan invited a few guests to the kitchen to see if the dishes were fresh. She also waived the meals for these tables so that everyone could serve as witnesses to prevent others from spreading rumors. For business people like them, this is the most taboo thing.
The waiter then realized that Su Wanwan was the boss. He smiled embarrassedly, "It's all my fault that I didn't recognize her. Boss, please don't be offended."
Su Wanwan smiled, "How could I blame you? You are so hospitable, I should praise you."
While Su Wanwan was dealing with a troublesome matter at Qingfengwan, Pei Changfeng was feeling uncomfortable at the palace banquet.
General Weiyuan seemed to be targeting him on purpose, sometimes asking him to compose poetry, sometimes asking him to write, and playing with him like a monkey.
Emperor Chongming was in charge of all affairs in the world, so he must have known that Pei Changfeng was Su Cha's son-in-law, so he just let Su Cha do what he wanted. In the eyes of others, Su Cha was extremely favored by the emperor, and even the third place in the imperial examination could be teased by this general like this.
After finally waiting for the palace banquet to end, Pei Changfeng couldn't wait to go back to see Su Wanwan, but was stopped again.
Su Cha smiled at him and said, "Pei Tanhua, I think you are a talented person. I have a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, even more beautiful than a fairy. Are you interested in meeting her?"
Pei Changfeng said coldly, "I already have a wife at home, and I am not interested in your daughter."
Su Cha raised his eyebrows, "But I heard that your wife is just a village girl, how can she compare with my daughter?"
Pei Changfeng stopped, his long eyelashes casting a shadow on his cheeks. He said in a cold voice, "General, my wife is not a village girl. I am the third place winner in the imperial examination, so she must be the wife of the third place winner."
Su Cha carefully looked at his son-in-law whom he met for the first time today. He always felt that he was unreliable, with a pretty face, and might be unfaithful in the future.
"You also know that I am now deeply favored by the emperor. If you marry my daughter, it will be of great benefit to your future official career."
"I became an official just to give my wife a better life," Pei Changfeng took a step back, "If I become a higher official but leave my wife behind, then I'd rather not be an official."
"Are you saying these words sincerely, or are you afraid that you'll abandon your wife and be known to others as someone who would be despised?" Su Cha pressed on, "I've never seen a man who can stay with a woman for his entire life. You're just pretending."
"Whether it is true or not, time will tell. I don't need to explain anything to the general. It's late and my wife is pregnant. I won't keep you company."
Su Cha was shocked, "What? What! Your wife is pregnant?"
Pei Changfeng frowned, looked at Su Cha deeply, then turned and left.
After he left, Su Cha was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down behind him. "Oh my, my daughter is only seventeen years old. How can she become a mother so early? I am so anxious!"
He was anxious, but he had no choice now that Su Wanwan had married him. After Su Cha's investigation just now, he felt that Pei Changfeng was an okay person, but he didn't know if he was pretending, so he had to observe him further.
Pei Changfeng came back late and Su Wanwan was already asleep. After washing up, he tiptoed into the bed and hugged her from behind.
Su Wanwan subconsciously turned over and got into his arms, "You're back..."
Her voice was soft and sticky. Pei Changfeng felt sweet in his heart just by listening to it. He kissed Su Wanwan's cheek and said, "Go to bed quickly. It's very late."
The lives of two people can’t be said to have any big twists and turns, but they are always fulfilling. Even if they just see each other, they feel that the day is worth it.
The next day, Su Wanwan was awakened by thirst. It started raining outside without her knowing. The weather was not so hot anymore. It was autumn again.
Pei Changfeng got out of bed and poured her some water. Seeing that she was drinking in a hurry, he quickly pushed the cup down and said, "Drink slowly."
After Su Wanwan drank a glass, she suddenly said, "I want to drink honey water."
Pei Changfeng: "I'll ask Hong Xing to go ahead."
After Pei Changfeng finished telling Hong Xing about this, he went back to bed and hugged Su Wanwan, "It's still early, let's sleep a little longer."
Su Wanwan rubbed her eyes and looked very energetic. "It's getting cold. I want to eat spicy fish fillet! I also want to eat Gudong soup!"
"Okay," Pei Changfeng rubbed her waist, "Eat whatever you want."
Her lower abdomen was already rising and falling, and you could feel the uneven area, indicating a life was growing inside.
Pei Changfeng didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly got under the quilt and kissed Su Wanwan's belly. Su Wanwan felt a little itchy and hurriedly said, "Stop it."
Pei Changfeng kissed her hand and went somewhere else. He panted and said, "I know. I know everything."
As he said this, he did not stop the movements of his hands. Su Wanwan could not stand it anymore and could not help but grab his hair and hum softly.
Pei Changfeng grabbed her hand and asked her to help him. Su Wanwan was shy and timid and could only let him control her to complete this ridiculous thing early in the morning.
Pei Changfeng still hadn't gotten relief until Hong Xing brought the honey water. Su Wanwan's hands were sore and tired, and she just hoped he would finish soon.
"Three months later..." Pei Changfeng suddenly spoke, his breathing unstable.
Su Wanwan hurriedly said: "Don't say it!"
She doesn't want to have a big belly...
Su Wanwan couldn't imagine it. Just thinking about it made her feel hot as if she was being roasted on a stove.
Pei Changfeng held her hand and continued without asking any more questions.
After finally ending, Su Wanwan drank some honey water and took a nap, while Pei Changfeng got up refreshed and read and checked Su Chaochao's homework.
When Su Wanwan got up, she saw Su Chaochao with a sad face and Pei Changfeng with a calm face.
"What's going on?"
Pei Changfeng glanced at Su Chaochao and saw him looking at him pleadingly. He took a deep breath and said, "It's okay."
Su Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was a good thing that his brother-in-law didn't tell him that he had forgotten all the characters he had learned before, otherwise his sister would definitely beat him.
At this time, the doorman came to report, "Sir, a man who calls himself General Weiyuan wants to see you."
