Chapter 68 The jealous gossip
Xiong Kai was hidden in the lively crowd, silently paying attention to everything in the Su family, subconsciously clenching his fists.
Today he was going to the town to look for work. On the way, he heard that Su Chunlin's family in Dongmen Village was holding a happy event, and he came there by accident.
The first time he saw the Su family's large courtyard, he felt deep jealousy in his heart. When he saw Shen Yi using an eight-carriage sedan to pick up the bride again, he felt even more embarrassed and angry as if he had been slapped in the face, but what made him uncomfortable the most was The most important thing is the dowry prepared by the Su family for Su Tai.
When Mo Chunxiang married him, the dowry she brought in was only one tael of silver and some worthless things, not even a fraction of Su Tai's dowry.
At this moment, he regretted standing here and hearing these words. If he had not had the willpower to break off the engagement, would these things have been his? It is not a blessing to be ridiculed by the villagers behind their backs, and there is no need to think for a long time when speaking in front of the daughter-in-law because of Gu Yue's family.
Ke Zhengping was about to enter the door when he saw Xiong Kai on the side, their eyes facing each other.
Ke Zhengping greeted warmly: "Come for the wedding banquet, come in and sit down."
Xiong Kai pursed his lips, turned around and left quickly.
Ke Zhengping felt baffled and told Su Chunlin about it later.
Based on Ke Zhengping's description, Su Chunlin roughly guessed that the person was Xiong Kai, and raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, telling Ke Zhengping not to pay attention.
The team welcoming the bride walked for a long time and finally arrived at Shenjiazhuang before dusk.
Mrs. Xu and Shen Zhuang were greeting guests outside Shen Yi's new house early. When they heard the noise, Liu Ang ran forward in unison.
Mrs. Xu excitedly pinched Shen Zhuang, "Bring it back! Bring it back!"
As she said this, she subconsciously glanced at the cows and sheep in front of the marriage team, and she was very happy, "The father of the child, the Su family is really generous. They actually gave their daughter cows and sheep as a dowry. There are rich people in the nearby town. It’s not like this for people to marry their daughters!”
When she spread the news about Su Tai's dowry before, the villagers said she was daydreaming, and today she came here specifically to see the joke. Now she wants to see who is the joke.
When the cattle and sheep were led into Shen Yi's house.
The villagers were really dumbfounded.
The garrulous woman yelled exaggeratedly with a loud voice: "The Su family really gave their daughter cattle and sheep as a dowry? Isn't she crazy? She really loses money!"
Then she scolded her daughter-in-law next to her angrily, "The Su family doesn't have an old man to hold them down. The couple is so stupid that our family can't learn from it!"
Mao, who was close to Mrs. Xu, couldn't help but said: "Aunt Cuihua, don't curse people just because you are jealous. The Su family is rich, so what's wrong with giving their daughter cattle and sheep as a dowry? It means Su is favored by her natal family, and her husband The family will also benefit from it. Even if you want to learn, you must have that family background!"
Aunt Cuihua rolled her eyes at Mr. Mao and snorted coldly, "Even if I have gold and silver, I won't make it easier for outsiders! You are the only one who treats money-losing goods as treasures!"
Ms. Xu, who came over, didn't like hearing it anymore and scolded with a cold face: "How interesting! Even if you scold yourself, you don't know who is really stupid."
"Shen Zhuang's family, what do you mean? Don't think that your nephew will go to heaven just because he marries a rich niece!" Aunt Cuihua cursed angrily with her hands on her hips.
Mrs. Xu was not someone to be trifled with. She lifted her chin up proudly and pointed her nostrils at her, looking arrogant and proud, "I'm just proud, I just show off, I just feel happy, I just want to go to heaven, what's wrong! Old man!" Immortal thing! If you want to fight, don’t think I’m afraid of you!”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Aunt Cuihua and her daughters-in-law quietly retreated.
Aunt Cuihua was so angry that she fell backwards without breathing. It turned out that the people who caught her were other women in the village. Her daughters-in-law had already disappeared without a trace. They were sitting on the ground crying and wailing.
Mrs. Xu immediately darkened her face and roared angrily: "Shen Zhuang, call a few people to come over and carry this old immortal away for me. Bad luck!"
Aunt Cuihua was shocked, "Ms. Xu! How dare you!"
"See if I dare!" Mrs. Xu rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Aunt Cuihua. The crisp and clean look scared Aunt Cuihua and she turned over nimbly, quickly got up from the ground and started walking.
He didn't forget to curse while running. Mrs. Mao stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xu, "Okay, she has already run away. Don't be ignorant of her. Let's go in quickly. The bride and groom are going to worship."
Su Tai in the main room vaguely heard the quarrel outside, but did not move due to her status as the bride.
After a while, it was quiet outside. Mrs. Xu came in with a smile and said to the matchmaker: "The auspicious time has come. Let's start!"
The matchmaker hurried forward and shouted loudly: "The newlyweds are here to pay their respects!"
After some tossing, Su Tai was led into the new house by Shen Yi.
I took the hijab and drank a glass of wine.
The two looked at each other, but tacitly averted their eyes, their cheeks flushed.
From today on, they are a legitimate couple in the eyes of the world.
After waiting for the rest of the crowd to go out, Shen Yi said gently to Su Tai: "I asked my second aunt to steam custard and white flour buns for you. You will have some to fill your stomach later. When the banquet is over, I will have someone bring you some food." Come here, if you feel the jewelry on your body is cumbersome, take it off first.”
Su Tai nodded quickly, "I also want some hot water to take off my makeup."
God knows how badly she wanted to remove her makeup. The ancient lead powder was really unbearable.
"Okay! I'll prepare it for you right away." Shen Yi checked the room carefully, closed the door, and left quickly.
Su Tai immediately sat in front of the dressing table and took off the hairpin.
Only when my head feels relaxed can I think about taking a closer look at my new house.
The room was not small. It contained a two-meter bed, a large round table, an eight-open cabinet, and her dressing table. It did not seem crowded. To her delight, there were There is a small screen, and behind the screen is a bucket for getting up at night, which avoids the embarrassment of going to the toilet and is not afraid of the smell of urine. The planning is very reasonable.
The more Su Tai watched, the more satisfied she became, with a smile on her lips.
Soon Shen Yi personally delivered two large barrels of hot water, and then left after explaining some words.
By the time she finished washing herself and filling her stomach, it was already dark.
Shen Yi also came back at this time.
Seeing that he had drunk too much, Su Tai quickly helped him to bed, took off his shoes and coat for him, and then helped him wash his face.
The nervousness of newlyweds was also left behind in this busy schedule.
After finally putting everything away, for fear of waking up Shen Yi, she tiptoed onto the bed. As soon as she lay down, the sleeping man next to her suddenly turned over and pressed against her with lightning speed.
Su Tai was sealed before she could scream.
Red candles flickered, and the room was filled with beautiful spring scenery.
The next day, when Su Tai opened her eyes, she still didn't know where she was. When she saw Shen Yi looking at him with a smile, she realized and suddenly turned over and sat up, "What time is it?"
"Chen Shi has just passed." Shen Yi followed and said with a doting look on his face: "There are no elders in our family. You can sleep as long as you want from now on. You don't have to worry about being scolded by the elders. I will take you to offer incense to my parents later. ”
Su Tai relaxed completely and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
Married life without in-laws is simply not that good!
