Chapter 8 Pei Changfeng wakes up
"Excuse me, who is this?" Su Wanwan asked with a smile.
Wu Sanniang glanced at her and smiled, "Oh, I'm Changfeng's third aunt, are you Changfeng's new bride? I heard from my Chanyue, I didn't expect you to be such a lady."
Zhou Chanyue followed behind Wu Sanniang and pouted, "Mom, you can't judge a person by his appearance. I've seen many women like her who have no idea what they are up to. You can't take it lightly."
Someone took over the conversation with Su Wanwan. Aunt Pei was happy to watch the fun and said, "What do you mean by this, Wu Sanniang? You never came to see Changfeng once after he got sick, and every time you came you asked for money. What's the matter? Are you unhappy again because we found a good wife for Changfeng?"
When it comes to exacerbating conflicts, Aunt Pei is good at it.
Wu Sanniang pouted, "You sound so noble."
"So why are you here today, Third Aunt?" Su Wanwan turned her wrist, not looking angry, "Are you ready to eat? How about having lunch together?"
She was smiling, and her face was really good, giving people a harmless feeling. Wu Sanniang felt that Su Wanwan was a soft persimmon, so she began to act like an elder, "Okay, since you are sincere about keeping me, then I will stay for dinner reluctantly."
Aunt Pei didn't intend to see the two of them getting along so harmoniously. She began to find fault, "Why did you come here, Wu Sanniang? Just keep your word and stop doing these fake things all day long."
"I'm Changfeng's third aunt, isn't it my proper duty to come and see him?" Wu Sanniang said angrily. "Besides, you quietly married a wife to Changfeng, and I didn't even see her. I don't agree with this marriage!"
"What's the point of you disagreeing?" Even if Aunt Pei hated Su Wanwan, she didn't want Wu Sanniang to succeed. The grudge between her and Wu Sanniang was much greater than that between her and Su Wanwan. "You are nothing. It's not your turn to make the decision in our Pei family!"
Su Wanwan immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that the third aunt came to break up her and Pei Changfeng. However, it seemed that there was a lot of grudges between Pei's aunt and Wu Sanniang.
She smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Aunt, Third Aunt, please stop arguing. After all, we are all family. There is no need to quarrel over such a small matter."
"Who is her family?" Aunt Pei and Aunt Wu asked almost in unison.
Wu Sanniang glared at Su Wanwan, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go cook?"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Su Wanwan entered the kitchen with no intention of cooking for Wu Sanniang. She cut off a piece of meat and planned to stir-fry some meat slices for herself.
Aunt Pei looked unhappy. She regarded everything Su Wanwan ate and used as her own things. How could she allow Su Wanwan to cook meat for Wu Sanniang?
She pretended to drive Wu Sanniang out and started to argue with her.
Su Wanwan was not in a hurry. She waited until she was full before she walked over and hit Wu Sanniang on the head with a water scoop. "Aunt, why did you hit my aunt? If you really want money from my family, just say so. Why hit her?"
Wu Sanniang was almost knocked unconscious by her water bucket. She opened her eyes wide and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! When did I want your money?"
Although this is true, Wu Sanniang will never admit it.
Aunt Pei also started to make a scene, "Mrs. Wu Sanniang is a bad thing. You never came to visit us once when our family had a bad reputation. Now that they are doing well, you come to stir up trouble. This is so unfair!"
It was lunch time, and the people from Peijia Village gathered around when they heard the noise.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like something happened to Pei Changfeng's family again. Why is there so much trouble in his family?"
"Could it be that Su Wanwan and Aunt Changfeng are fighting again? Let's go and take a look."
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Wu Sanniang felt something was wrong. She tried to leave, but Su Wanwan hugged her legs.
Su Wanwan started to cry, "Third Aunt, please stop scolding me. The meat is for Changfeng to nourish his body. If you really want to eat it, I will cut it off. Please don't say such things again!"
Wu Sanniang couldn't pull her legs free, and asked in shock, "What did I say to you?"
Su Wanwan cried, "You said that I am not a girl from a good family, you didn't agree with my marriage with Changfeng, and you wanted to take Changfeng away, but since I have already married Changfeng, I am his person. If you take Changfeng away, I will not live!"
Zhou Chanyue quickly explained to the people around him, "My mother didn't say these words! This is all Su Wanwan's nonsense!"
"Wanwan!" Aunt Pei also started to cry, "I fell in love with you at first sight. Don't I know who you are? This Wu Sanniang is so heartless. She just can't stand you guys living a good life!"
Aunt Pei's acting skills are explosive. Once she started howling, Wu Sanniang had no room to perform and was almost drowned by the spit of the people in Pei Village.
"Pei Changfeng has been ill for so long, and it seems his third aunt has never come to visit."
"Who is standing next to Wu Sanniang? Why do I feel like I saw her a few days ago?"
"Aunt Pei Changfeng lives in town, so she should be rich. How could she be so cruel?"
"After all, Pei Changfeng and his uncle's family are the real relatives. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are connected. If something happens, only his uncle's family will help."
After hearing what everyone said, Wu Sanniang, no matter how thick-skinned she was, could no longer stay and tried to pull Zhou Chanyue away. However, Zhou Chanyue stood up and said miserably, "My cousin didn't marry Su Wanwan voluntarily!"
Everyone around was silent for a moment.
"who is she?"
"What does she mean by that?"
"Does she know who Pei Changfeng wants to marry?"
Su Wanwan also wiped her tears and stood up, looking like she had been bullied. "Then please tell me, Miss Zhou, who does my Changfeng want to marry?"
"Anyway, it's not you," Zhou Chanyue felt aggrieved. She and her cousin had been childhood sweethearts. If her cousin hadn't suddenly gotten into an accident, she would have married him. "You're taking advantage of someone's misfortune!"
Okay, very good. Su Wanwan’s hands began to itch. If she wasn’t pretending to be pitiful, she would have kicked Zhou Chanyue again.
"So Miss Zhou means that I have taken away your marriage destiny?" As Su Wanwan said this, tears fell from her eyes, looking so pitiful.
Although the town was quite far from Peijia Village, Wu Sanniang still glared at her daughter and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhou Chanyue pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling very aggrieved for herself. If her cousin could wake up, she would still be willing to marry him.
"Okay!" Aunt Pei started to yell, "I was wondering why you always come to our Changfeng Gate for no reason. It turns out you have this in mind. I tell you, give up. Our family only recognizes Wanwan as our daughter-in-law!"
"So it's unrequited love."
"This Su Wanwan is so pitiful. Pei Changfeng hasn't even woken up yet, and the wild flowers outside have come to find her."
"Aunt Pei is still reliable. After all, we are a family."
Zhou Chanyue was scolded so much that her face turned red and her neck became thick, and she was pulled away by Wu Sanniang.
After finally escaping the crowd, Wu Sanniang pointed at Zhou Chanyue's head and scolded her severely, "I'm telling you, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. Your father has already found a good family for you. If you run away again, I will beat you to death!"
Zhou Chanyue's eyes turned red, but Wu Sanniang was still talking to herself, "No, I must find a way to get Pei Changfeng's monthly subsidy. I can't let those bastards get away with it."
After Wu Sanniang left, the crowd almost dispersed. Uncle Pei remembered how Su Wanwan had hit Wu Sanniang on the head just now, so she twisted Pei Yaozu's ear and walked away, planning to find another opportunity to do it later.
After everyone left, Su Wanwan closed the yard door, but she felt a little unsatisfied. She still wanted to hit Zhou Chanyue on the head a few more times.
She returned to the room and saw Pei Changfeng lying crookedly on the bed. He let out a "hiss". Could it be that someone had just come in during the chaos?
She straightened Pei Changfeng and said unhappily, "Your Third Aunt is not a good person either. They are all after your money. I am the only one who treats you well with all my heart. Even so, I am still doing my best to serve you. If you wake up and want to continue your relationship with that Zhou Chanyue, I will chop you to pieces!"
As she spoke, Su Wanwan waved her hands a few times, pretending to chop him, "I'll chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"
She kept her word and vowed to show no mercy to the unfaithful man.
That night, cicadas were chirping noisily outside the house, and Su Wanwan couldn't fall asleep. She decided not to wait any longer and to go to the town to ask a doctor to see Pei Changfeng tomorrow.
The house had been smoked with mugwort, so there weren't many mosquitoes, but it was very stuffy.
Su Wanwan got up and lit the lamp, then began to count the silver. It was still the four taels of silver, and it was always the same amount no matter how many times she counted.
Four taels of silver may sound like a lot, enough for an ordinary family's expenses for more than a year, but it is not allowed to be spent in a pharmacy, so she has to think carefully about how to use it.
Su Wanwan was sitting on a chair, with only a thin rope on her smooth back, and was fanning herself with a fan while sighing.
The palm-leaf fan had two holes missing. The room was dim, without any brightness. Only Su Wanwan was gentle and graceful. Her existence was like the moon from the sky falling into the earth, and it just hit Pei Changfeng's heart.
Su Wanwan roughly calculated where she would need to spend the money later, then put away her fan and prepared to go to bed. When she turned around, she met a pair of cold eyes as clear as lacquer.
