General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

64 New Year’s Eve (2)

Madam Huang was very arrogant now.

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her and couldn’t be bothered with her.

She had forgotten that New Year’s Eve was approaching. She had to leave early and come back early. She could not let the three little fellows wait until they felt wronged.

When Madam Huang was ignored again, she felt like her fist had hit cotton. She was so angry that she jumped and blocked Su Xiaoxiao’s path. “Damn girl! Didn’t you hear me talking to you!”

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “I can’t be bothered with you. Can’t you tell? Why are you so eager to embarrass yourself? Haven’t you done enough of that the last time? Do you still want to continue?”

Some people would never know what was good for them and insisted on asking for a scolding early in the morning!

Did she really think he was afraid of her? Where did her sense of superiority come from?

Madam Huang thought of how she had failed to sell their son to the Su family and was mocked instead. Her face turned red. What was wrong with this wretched girl? She was completely different from before!

Chen Haoyuan frowned. “Daya, my mother is your elder. How can you be rude to her?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Cousin Scholar, your mother keeps calling me a wretched girl. When she scolded me for being blind and mute, you didn’t even fart! Yet, when it’s my turn to say a few words, it is construed as being rude to my elders. Oh, your mother is an elder. If she scolds me and humiliates me, I should accept it. If she brings a knife to my neck one day, should I obediently let her cut me?”

Chen Haoyuan choked.

At this moment, Madam Fang and Su Jinniang came to the well to get water.

“It’s Aunt Xiu and Scholar Chen. Daya is also here.”

Madam Fang greeted him.

Su Xiaoxiao guessed why Madam Huang was there. She was most likely here to propose to Su Jinniang.

Su Xiaoxiao was right. Madam Huang was indeed here for her son’s marriage today.

Madam Huang did not want to lose face in front of her future in-laws. She pulled her son and said sarcastically, “Forget it, Hao. You’re going to the prefecture city to study. Don’t argue with your cousin! Your cousin is illiterate. She won’t understand even if I explain!”

Madam Fang smelled the animosity and advised, “It’s early in the morning. Let’s talk nicely.”

Madam Huang said, “I want to talk nicely too. Not everyone is like your Jinniang, who’s reasonable, virtuous, and smart! Some people only care about being lazy and don’t know anything. They can’t even compare to Jinniang!”

After Madam Huang finished speaking, she turned around and realized that Fat Lass Su had already walked away. She wondered if Fat Lass Su had heard her words just now.

When Fatty Su scolded her, she heard every word. She was poking her lungs!

Why did Fat Lass Su leave when it was her turn to scold her?

Did she scold her for nothing?!

Madam Huang felt stifled!

Madam Fang continued to be the peacemaker. “I don’t think Daya is that kind of person. Daya has become much more sensible recently.”

Madam Huang chuckled and said, “If she’s half as sensible as Jinniang, I don’t have to worry... After all, she’s my sister-in-law’s biological daughter. I originally thought that when Hao goes to the prefecture city to study, I would take care of her... ”

“Is Scholar Chen really going to study in the prefecture capital?” This was the second time Madam Huang had mentioned this. Madam Fang had no choice but to pay attention.

Madam Huang said, “Isn’t that so? Only those who have the potential to become High Scholars are qualified to be recommended to the prefecture city!”

Chen Haoyuan didn’t say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed that he could become a High Scholar.

Madam Fang’s attitude towards the two of them instantly changed.

Originally, with Su Jinniang’s looks and reputation, she did not have to worry about not being able to marry into a good family. However, no matter how good a family was, they had never produced a High Scholar.

It seemed that this marriage was most likely going to be settled.

Madam Fang smiled and said, “It’s cold. Let’s talk at home.”

At this point, Madam Huang finally felt relieved.

The wretched girl did not take her seriously. She thought that she was so great after marrying a handsome husband. Heh, wasn’t he still a farmer? Was he as good as her son?

Her son was the future High Scholar!

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what Madam Huang was thinking. Her schedule today was a little tight, and the road was difficult. If she wanted to come back early, she had to rush to town as soon as possible.

She did not have the time to listen to Madam Huang go crazy.

It was going to be New Year’s Eve, and most of the shops on the street were closed, but the door was pasted with festive spring couplets and blessings.

In ancient times, paper was very expensive, and the couplets scholars wrote were even more valuable. Therefore, it was very rare to see anyone putting up couplets in the village.

In Su Xiaoxiao’s memory, Madam Chen had pasted them once or twice when she was still alive. After she passed away, they no longer had them.
