Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Accomplishing Good Deeds

Two days later

While walking her dog again, Xiaoxiao noticed a group of people gathered together, seemingly discussing something. She pretended not to care but was all ears.

"Hey, have you heard? Hehua and Yang Wei are getting married."

"What? Really? Can the Yang Family afford a hundred silver taels?"

"What hundred silver taels? It only cost five taels."

"What? Had I known it was just five taels, I would have proposed too."

"Give it a rest. Even if you offered a hundred taels, they still wouldn’t choose you!"

"Hahaha."

The crowd burst into laughter. Xiaoxiao didn’t continue listening and went home with her dog.

So those two were set. Did this make her an indirect matchmaker? Five taels was acceptable, though more expensive than her.

As she reached her doorstep, she heard Yang Wei’s voice, brimming with joy, "Third sister-in-law, I’m getting married!"

"..." Yes, yes, the whole village knows by now; you’re so happy, everyone has come to greet her.

As they walked to the courtyard, Yang Wei waved towards Hehua at the door of the house, "Hehua, come here."

Hehua had been watching the entrance. Knowing Xiaoxiao had returned, she stood at the door, fidgeting awkwardly.

Xiaoxiao approached with Yang Wei. She courteously invited, "Hehua, come on in."

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s invitation, Hehua felt less nervous and followed inside, saying, "Um."

Once inside, they found the third sister-in-law and their families were there, chatting together.

Xiaoxiao also sat down and started eating sunflower seeds, listening to the conversation.

"Is the wedding date set yet?"

"Yes, it’s set for the fifteenth of next month."

Xiaoxiao almost choked; their pace was too fast. Isn’t getting married a complicated affair? Don’t they need to prepare wedding garments and quilts? Is half a month enough?

Whatever, it’s not her concern anyway.

She continued eating seeds when Hehua came over, bowing her head sheepishly, and said, "Third sister-in-law, I have something to tell you. Can we talk outside?"

"..." What does Hehua want? She had already let her off. They were going to be relatives, and there was no need to stir up trouble, "Sure, let’s go to my room."

The two went to Xiaoxiao’s room. Xiaoxiao sat down, crossed her legs confidently, "Speak, what is it?"

"Third sister-in-law, I came to thank you. Without you, Yang Wei and I might not have been able to marry at all."

"..." Oh? She was wrong. She thought Hehua was here to provoke her. Well, considering she is with Yang Wei now, why would she provoke her? She gets nervous around anyone related to Yang Ming.

"It’s nothing; I was also helping myself since you kept pestering my husband."

She indeed had her own motives—resolving all the unnecessary romantic interests around her cheap husband.

Seeing Xiaoxiao still harbored feelings about past issues, Hehua raised her small hand desperately, making a swearing gesture.

"Third sister-in-law, if I ever have improper thoughts about third brother again, may I suffer a terrible fate."

"..." Why is she swearing oaths now?

Seeing Xiaoxiao silent, tears started swirling in Hehua’s eyes, "Third sister-in-law, please believe me."

Xiaoxiao looked at Hehua; her gaze seemed genuine. If she stopped pursuing Yang Ming, they weren’t really enemies anymore. With that thought, Hehua didn’t seem so annoying anymore.

"Alright, stop swearing. I believe you. Just be happy with Yang Wei from now on."

Hehua, wiping her tears away, smiled, "Okay."
