Chapter 42 - 42 The Truth
42 The Truth
“You little w***h, why are you speaking the truth?” Zhang Chunxiang did not like Sun Lili at all.
“Pfft…”
“Hahaha…”
Zhang Chunxiang’s words caused the people in the courtyard who were watching the commotion to roar with laughter. The sound of laughter rose and fell, and some people even fell off the courtyard wall because of their exaggerated laughter. Fortunately, the yard was not high, and it did not hurt to fall on the ground. People quickly got back up.
Zhang Chunxiang was confused and did not know what everyone was laughing at.
The corners of Su Wen’s mouth curled up, and she was having a hard time holding it in.
“Bah! Someone like Sun Lili wants to be my daughter-in-law? She must be dreaming! Even in her next life, I still would not agree.”
“Why is it impossible? I feel that Sun Lili’s a pretty good person. She’s literate, cultured, and a city person.” Su Wen pretended not to see the disgust on Su Pingfan’s face and the dislike on Zhang Chunxiang’s face as she praised Sun Lili to the heavens with a sincere tone.
No matter how bad Sun Lili was, she was still a hundred times better than Su Pingfan.
“How does she count as a city person if she can’t even afford to go back to the city? She can just stay in the countryside for the rest of her life!” Zhang Chunxiang placed her hands on her waist proudly and did not notice Su Xuewu’s ashen face.
Zhang Chunxiang did not know much, but Su Xuewu was the village accountant. He knew that some things could not be said.
It would offend people.
Everyone knew that the educated youths with connections had all returned to the city. Those who were left behind had no connections or family background, so Sun Lili had no chance of returning to the city.
At this time, because the gate was open, the people who were originally climbing on the courtyard wall also entered the courtyard. The large courtyard was filled with people, and it was a mess. Su Wen left the crowd when no one was looking.
“Big sister!” When little sister Su saw her big sister come out, she rushed up excitedly and hugged Su Wen’s thigh. “Big sister, are you okay? You scared me to death just now. Second aunt is really bad. She is deliberately looking for an opportunity to hit you.”
Little sister Su and Su Qing, who were climbing up the courtyard wall, saw what happened at the gate clearly. They were so scared that they almost fell off the wall.
“Calm down, we must be calm.” Su Wen was like a general who had just won a battle, waving her hand nonchalantly.
Her two younger sisters covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
“Let’s go home and cook something good. I bought some fresh crucian carps. I’m going to make fish soup for you and Su Xiu.” As she spoke, she looked at Su Qing’s chest meaningfully.
Su Qing’s face turned red from her stare.
Little sister Su covered her mouth and laughed evilly, “Nourish yourself. Big sister said that it’s too small.”
Boom.
Su Qing’s face was so red that it was almost dripping blood. She glared at little sister Su fiercely, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
“Little girl, you are talking nonsense. What do you know? You only know how to talk nonsense.” She wanted to pinch little sister Su’s flesh again, but little sister Su would not let her do so. She naturally hid behind Su Wen.
The two sisters laughed and joked around. Sister Su smiled brightly and happily. Even the personality teacher, the dull Su Qing, had become a lot more lively.
“I know, I knew it. Big sister already said that it’s too small and doesn’t look good…” Little sister Su did not know anything, but she treated Su Wen’s words as the imperial edict. Even if Su Wen was bored and talking to herself, she would remember it in her heart.
She would not forget a single word.
Su Qing was so angry that she was about to cry. How could her sister say such indecent words!
“Cough cough…” No matter how thick-skinned Su Wen was, she felt guilty under Su Qing’s condemning gaze. She coughed uncomfortably and put on a serious look. “Alright, let’s go home. If we don’t go home to cook, Su Xiu will be hungry when she comes back.”
Little sister Su cheered, “Oh! Let’s go home!”
