Chapter 58 Su Yu gets married
Su Zhan and Su Ming, as the bride's brother-in-law, will also help attract guests today.
The entire Su family was very busy.
Grandma Li, who had come with Mr. Wan to have a wedding banquet, couldn't help but look around as soon as she got off the carriage, and said, "I didn't expect your brother-in-law to have a pretty good life. The yard is bigger than other people's."
Wan suppressed her displeasure and said with a smile: "My son, his brother-in-law had a good harvest last year, and the county government bought them all at a high price. After making some money, he bought the land and built a house. The newly built house is naturally better than other houses." Some."
Grandma Li's face darkened and she stared at Wanshi sharply, "Your brother-in-law's family still has something to do with the county government?"
Wan quickly shook her head and explained, "My uncle planted good crops. The township chief reported it to the town official, and the town official reported it to the county government. Only then did the county government come. People rely on farming to support their families. I still want to do these things." I really don’t understand.”
Seeing that Mrs. Wan really didn't seem to be lying, Grandma Li stopped making things difficult.
Su Chunsen went to stop the carriage, but Suchuan had already passed Su Chunlin. Wan also took Nanny Li to see Han.
"Sister-in-law, you are finally back! This is..." Han looked at Nanny Li curiously.
Grandma Li maintained her identity and remained silent.
Wan introduced: "This is Nanny Li, the famous lady in front of you."
Mr. Han looked stunned and warmly greeted them to sit down.
Aunt Li smiled with satisfaction. As soon as she sat down, she heard people around her talking about village chief and the like. She felt suspicious and asked about Su Yu's husband's family.
Mrs. Wan was thinking about how to speak, but Mrs. Han on the side simply said with a smile: "Our Xiaoyu is marrying the son of our village chief, named Su Sheng."
"Marrying the village chief's son? Why should she be a disfigured maid?" Grandma Li's voice suddenly rose, as if she heard some shocking words.
Han was very puzzled, "Why? The village chief's son is very down-to-earth and his family is very smart. The two families are very close. What's wrong with this marriage?"
Only then did Grandma Li realize that she had lost her composure. She twitched the corner of her mouth, laughed twice, then pulled her face and said nothing.
Mrs. Han was polite to Nanny Li just for the sake of Mrs. Wan. When she saw that she spoke harshly, she immediately became angry and found an excuse to leave.
Aunt Li stared at Wanshi and asked, "Didn't you say that Su Yu married a man whose fiancée died in the same village?"
"Yes! Then Su Sheng's fiancée is no longer ill, but she is still his cousin!" Wanshi blinked innocently, as if she didn't understand what Granny Li was angry about.
Grandma Li choked and said nothing.
The people around continued to be busy. It was not until the Han family came to invite Wan family's Aunt Li that she realized that Su Yu was not married from this courtyard. At that moment, she gritted her teeth and followed her, and found that the Su family also had a newly built courtyard. She couldn't bear it anymore and pulled it. Holding Wan's hand, he asked: "Isn't your family buying property outside?"
Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she turned pale with fright, "Mother Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! Which of your eyes did you see our family buying property outside? To tell you the truth, my brother-in-law's daughter died after the autumn harvest. We were going to get married, and the marriage had been agreed upon a long time ago, but we didn’t expect Xiaoyu from our family to come back suddenly.
Cousins never want their elder sister to marry after her younger sister. The rule in the village is that a family cannot marry two daughters in a year. My brother-in-law built a courtyard specifically to avoid taboos. It just so happens that my two sons can live separately in the future, so what's the problem? "
Seeing that Aunt Li was not convinced, Mrs. Wan also got angry, "I know that people in the mansion look down upon those who forage in the fields outside, and think that everyone lives a miserable life, but my brother-in-law is so angry. If you have the ability, even if you can live a prosperous life, others will not be able to envy you!"
Grandma Li was so angry that her face turned green, and she had to grit her teeth and follow in.
At this moment, Su Yu was showing off her dowry. When she was released from the house by Madam Bai, Madam Bai allowed her to take away all her belongings and gave her a large bag of silver. Miss Bai also gave her a generous gift. As a reward, Mrs. Bai later gave me a pair of silver bracelets, and Su Chunsen, his wife, and Suchuan also gave me a lot of good things, all of which were there. Grandma Li looked at them one by one, not knowing what she was planning.
Wan on the side sneered and said: "Mom, look carefully. The child's father and I are here even if we are missing something. Please don't accuse us of buying property outside. We can bear such a big charge." Sorry."
Aunt Li said with a cold face, "I've already got the money here, you can explain it to my wife when you go back."
Wanshi snorted coldly, showing no signs of panic.
Her behavior made Grandma Li even more angry.
Not long after, the man's side brought eight sedans to pick up the bride. Su Yu jumped on Su Sheng's back under everyone's cheers, and the dowry was also carried to her husband's house.
Wan Shi and others went over to watch the fun.
Grandma Li took the opportunity to ask the villagers about the situation of Su Chunlin's family, and the results she got were very different from what Wan said, which made her even more angry.
Originally, the madam and the eldest young master sent her to follow her as an informant. As long as she told the madam and the eldest young master about Su Yu's tragic situation, she would definitely get some rewards. Now that Su Yu has married well, Su Chunlin's family is not like her. She thought she was so poor, how could she ask for credit from the madam and the young master?
If I report the situation truthfully, I am afraid that the madam and young master will be angry and reprimanded.
Grandma Li scolded the Wan family all over in her heart, and planned to continue to wait and see.
Whether the husband's family values the bride or not can be known by looking at the banquet. If she takes a fancy to the bride, the banquet will be very solemn. If she despises the bride, the banquet will definitely be perfunctory.
As soon as Grandma Li sat down, before she could ask, a woman brought a large pot of pork and wild vegetables to the table.
Followed by a large bowl of white flour steamed buns, and a large meat bun for each person.
The rural banquet has white flour steamed buns and meat on it, which is quite satisfactory, not bad.
Grandma Li was not happy at all, but unexpectedly she was served a pot of chicken soup, braised pork, and a pot of white noodle soup. The dishes were not many, but the portion was full. The surrounding villagers had their mouths full of oil and cheered.
She was speechless.
People in the village were eating at the table as locusts passed by, and the wind was blowing. Aunt Li was afraid that she would lose a piece of meat if she was slow, so she quickly picked up the meat without holding it.
After finishing the banquet, she didn't want to stay any longer, so she urged Su Chunsen's family to return to the county town on the grounds that the master of the house was still waiting for them.
Both Su Chunlin and Han were unhappy because the Su Chunsen family did not have the same reputation as Grandma Li.
Before Mrs. Wan left, Mrs. Han specially packed a lot of wedding cakes, steamed buns and steamed buns for her to take away.
Grandma Li looked at the bag, her eyes were red with jealousy, "Your sister-in-law is so generous to your family! Those who don't know better think she is being filial to her parents-in-law!"
Why does this sound so unpleasant?
Wan rolled her eyes and said calmly: "If my Chunsen hadn't been sold as a slave, my brother-in-law wouldn't be able to marry a wife. It's reasonable for them to treat us like my parents-in-law."
Grandma Li choked, her eyes widened with anger, and she stopped talking to Mrs. Wan.
