Chapter 246: 246 Giving You a Big Gift (Second Update)

"Hu Xiulan." Su Wu’s mother certainly understood that Hu Xiulan dared to say anything with her mouth and reminded her from the side, "Today is Xiaofeng’s big day, can’t you say less?"

What does it mean not liking women? It couldn’t be that men would like men instead, I’ve never heard of such a thing.

"I’m not talking nonsense, I’m telling the truth. Just think about it, if Ye Cheng really had no health issues, with his good conditions, why would he fancy Xiaofeng? Obviously, there must be some unspeakable problems with him, and that’s why he’s using Xiaofeng as a shield."

How could a normal, virile man possibly marry a woman who’s already pregnant, especially when the child in her belly is not even his?

"What’s so strange about that? Xiaofeng is beautiful and capable, why wouldn’t Dr. Ye fancy her?" Auntie Three spoke up for Xiaofeng, "Xiulan, although your daughter did not marry well, you can’t make up stories about Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng. They are getting married today; can’t you say something nice?"

"Auntie, it seems I’ve become the bad person here, right? And you don’t even see who I’m doing this for. I’m looking out for your family’s Xiaofeng. Have you ever thought about what kind of life she will lead if Ye Cheng really doesn’t like women, only men?" Hu Xiulan certainly didn’t think she was wrong.

"Xiulan, what exactly happened, tell us clearly," Zhang Chunying, having listened to Hu Xiulan’s words, chimed in.

The love for gossip is universal.

"What else could it be?" Hu Xiulan snorted coldly, "It must be someone trying to drive a stepdaughter out of the house by selling their own daughter."

After Hu Xiulan finished speaking, everyone looked at He Ximei with an inquisitive gaze.

Today was Xiaofeng’s happy day, and He Ximei didn’t want to argue with Hu Xiulan, but as Hu kept going overboard, she stood with hands on hips, "I’m telling you, Hu Xiulan, what kind of heart do you have to say these things? You wanted to introduce your daughter to Ye Cheng, but alas, your daughter is already married—to a hooligan who lives off his wife’s family no less. Ye Cheng is a doctor himself; how could he have any health issues, and fancy men, at that? If he likes any man, why don’t you say who?"

"Xiaotao saw it with her own eyes, last time a woman tried to get close to him, he threw her off." Of course, it wasn’t something she had witnessed with her own eyes, because if she had, this secret wouldn’t have only come out now.

"The woman isn’t Xiaotao, is it?" He Ximei looked at Su Xiaotao and laughed lightly, "Everyone still remembers, right? There was a time Su Xiaotao went to see Ye Cheng for something and came back with a broken leg. It wasn’t that time, was it?"

Xiaotao’s face turned red: "It wasn’t."

"What did you want to do with Ye Cheng that got you thrown? Trying to force yourself on him, and he didn’t reciprocate?" He Ximei was crude at heart and didn’t hold back her words, "Look at you, a young girl, how can you not be ashamed? It’s right, though, with Ye Cheng’s excellent conditions, which girl wouldn’t be moved?"

"Fatso, you can’t talk nonsense. If you ruin my daughter’s reputation, I will fight you," Hu Xiulan had thought this would shock Su Guaizi greatly, but he behaved as if he hadn’t heard anything and went about his business as usual.

That made sense, after all, Xiaofeng wasn’t Guaizi’s biological child, so how concerned could he be about her marriage affairs?

"I’m ruining your daughter? It was clearly you who slandered my daughter and son-in-law first. Let me tell you, Xiaofeng is my daughter, and from today on, Ye Cheng is my son-in-law. If any of you dare to speak ill of them, don’t blame me for being inhospitable."

Speaking of this on someone’s happy day was clearly out of jealousy.

Hu Xiulan, hearing Empress’ words, was so angry she was speechless.

"Kind-hearted but treated like a donkey’s liver and lungs." Hu Xiulan spat, "When your daughter lives a life neither human nor ghost-like, that will be your happiest moment, you wicked stepmother."

"Mom, we’ve already told them what we had to say, and everyone has heard it. As for what they do with that information, it’s no longer our concern," Su Xiaotao said, squinting as she watched Su Xiaofeng approaching from a distance.

It had to be said, Xiaofeng was truly beautiful today. Wearing a big red bridal gown, with her hair done up, she walked towards them from afar, resembling an empress from ancient times, majestic and aloof.

"Worrying about others when your own day hasn’t even passed clearly," He Ximei sneered, "You’d be better off earning more money at home instead of having to bring your husband back to your parents’ home after getting married."

She herself hadn’t married well, yet had the audacity to talk about others. Where was her shame?

Xiaotao’s tone changed, and her voice took on a hint of sympathy, "Auntie, I just wanted to kindly tell you, Ye Cheng doesn’t like women, he only likes men. Knowing full well that Ye Cheng likes men, you still pushed Xiaofeng into the fire pit. What can I do? Xiaofeng and I had some disagreements before, but we grew up together, and now that she is getting married, of course, I want her to marry well."

Someone shouted, "Xiaofeng is back."

Everyone turned to look at Xiaofeng in unison.

They all believed that Xiaofeng must have heard what Xiaotao just said.

Did she know about it in advance, whether this was real or not, and whether she would regret it.

"Xiaofeng," Guaizi looked at the person coming back and responded indifferently, "You’re back."

Xiaofeng smiled and picked up the marriage certificate, showing it off, "Dad, look, we’ve registered."

"Good that you’ve registered," Guaizi glanced at it, "Tidy up a bit, the groom will be coming to fetch the bride soon."

Xiaofeng put away the certificate, looked at Su Xiaotao waiting to mock her, and coyly smiled, "Su Xiaotao, I heard that when you tried to seduce Ye Cheng, you weren’t successful, and he even threw you into the river, breaking your leg. Though you’re not as pretty as me, you’re a better actress. It’s quite a pity that Ye Cheng didn’t fancy you. Today, I am marrying Ye Cheng, we grew up together, by all rights I should invite you, but in my opinion, you don’t deserve it."

Su Xiaotao opened her mouth, wanting to retort.

Xiaofeng continued, "And there’s one thing you should understand: from now on, the man in my house will only be mine, the name beside his on the certificate is mine, and he will be the father of my children in the future, he will not fancy men. Considering the great gift you’ve given me, I am giving you one in return. Don’t thank me too much when you get home."

After saying this, Xiaofeng looked around with a smile, holding a box of wedding candy that was clearly from Haicheng and very fancy, "Fellow villagers, today is a joyous day for me and Ye Cheng. You all know my situation, so we’re not going to have a big wedding, and we won’t invite everyone for a wedding banquet. We won’t have drinks, but everyone can still enjoy the wedding candy."

"Xiaofeng, you’re a blessed child, third auntie believes you will definitely have good fortune in the future." See, Xiaofeng said there’s nothing of that sort, these people simply can’t stand to see others do well.

"Great, we’ll have some wedding candy to share in the happiness."

Xiaofeng divided the wedding candy into many portions and had He Ximei deliver them to each household.

Su Xiaotao watched the other party’s smugness, not taking her words to heart at all, not wanting to admit to herself that Ye Cheng was not interested in her. She firmly believed that Ye Cheng had some ulterior motive.

Laugh all you want, Su Xiaofeng; if you really marry Ye Cheng, you’ll have plenty of tears to shed in the future.

Upon returning home, Xiulan found that Liu An wasn’t there and didn’t know where he had gone, "Mom, have you seen Liu An?"

"How would I pay attention to him? He’s never around when you need him. I really wonder why I let you marry him." Look at the son-in-law others love, then look at the one I got, it’s just incomparable.

Xiaotao turned around to see Liu An standing at the door, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at her.

She felt a sudden dread in her heart; what was he going to do?

Without directly addressing Su Xiaotao, Liu An went up and embraced Xiaotao, then turned to Hu Xiulan, "Mom, I just remembered there’s some urgent business at home, so Xiaotao and I will head back first."

Hu Xiulan couldn’t wait for them to leave, both of them were such worrywarts and a nuisance to look at, "Alright, go."

Liu An hugged Su Xiaotao all the way, without uttering a word.

"Heading back already? You’re not even going to finish lunch."

"Leaving this early today?" At the entrance of the village, a few villagers saw the two preparing to leave and made fun of them.

"Liu An, what are you doing? Did Su Xiaofeng say something to you? Liu An, listen to me, there’s absolutely nothing between me and Ye Cheng, and I never thought about seducing him," Su Xiaotao pleaded.

She knew just how ruthless a man Liu An could be; that’s why she was afraid.

"Su Xiaotao," Liu An pressed on the back of her head, pulling at her hair, "Are you jealous, envious of the big dowry they gave, despising me for giving you less? Su Xiaotao, let me tell you, if you despise me for being poor, then go be a prostitute tomorrow, earn some money to subsidize the household."

He had heard clearly just a while ago, Su Xiaotao’s biting grip upon hearing about the dowry of more than sixty thousand.

Just now at the village entrance, Su Xiaofeng also told him that the person Su Xiaotao had always liked was Ye Cheng. Today being the big wedding day for her and Ye Cheng, she was worried that Xiaotao couldn’t bear it and told him to comfort Su Xiaotao well.

He would certainly comfort her, very thoroughly indeed.
