Chapter 92: 92 Using his own way to treat himself (second update)

Hu Xiulan listened to the unpleasant voices of the villagers and could hardly contain her anger, "What’s the problem? My Taozi is also eighteen this year and can date. It’s just her meeting her boyfriend at the entrance of the village, and look how extraordinary you all find it."

Of course, Hu Xiulan understood the pros and cons of the situation very well.

Her family was not like that of Old Guaizi Su, who only had Xiaofeng as a single daughter. Below Taozi, she had a younger brother who was currently in high school, doing quite well in his studies.

Naturally, she couldn’t let the matter between Taozi and Liu An become the talk of the entire village, nor could she let it affect her son’s future prospects.

Therefore, the matter between Taozi and Liu An could only be settled; there was no other choice.

"Mom," Su Xiaotao looked at Hu Xiulan with teary eyes, "Mom, I didn’t with..."

"Taozi," Su Changgeng and Su Zongming came over from outside, "We don’t care whether or not you and Liu An are dating, but since you two have caused such a scene in front of the whole crowd, you must get married."

Su Changgeng was a man who cared about his face. Today’s incident with Taozi made him very angry, feeling that Su Xiaotao had made him lose face.

If he didn’t let Taozi marry Liu An, the villagers would surely gossip about him, and he didn’t want to become a useless man like Old Guaizi Su, who could remain indifferent in the face of the village’s rumors and slander.

"Dad," Su Xiaotao listened to Su Changgeng’s words and cried non-stop, "Look at Uncle Guaizi, even when Xiaofeng was pregnant before marriage, Guaizi Uncle didn’t force her to marry, you..."

"Slap." Su Changgeng stretched out his hand and gave Su Xiaotao a backhand slap, "Shameful creature, you don’t learn the good from others, but learn to be flirtatious. Let’s see if I don’t beat you to death today."

The slap from Su Changgeng was far from light.

Even Su Xiaofeng, not far away, felt the pain on her face.

Facing a similar situation, Su Xiaofeng suddenly felt fortunate that her father, Guaizi, had not forcefully married her off.

Compared to her own situation, she realized her dad really cherished her; despite such an incident, he had ultimately not forced her.

"Since both parents agree to let the two families marry off sooner, we should visit your home to discuss the marriage of the two children," said Liu Datou, looking at the attitudes of Su Changgeng and Hu Xiulan, very satisfied.

Look, this is what real parents are like; when there’s a problem, they have an attitude, and someone takes charge.

Not like Xiaofeng’s dad, a pushover, letting his daughter mess around. Not to say, if Anzi didn’t marry Xiaofeng, she would probably have to remain a spinster at her parents’ home.

Tsk tsk, embarrassing.

"Regardless, your son is also at fault for today’s incident." Su Changgeng, a sturdy and not-so-short man with a not-so-good temper, stood opposite Liu An, "Even though I agree to this marriage, your son’s side still needs to show the right attitude."

Of course, these words from Su Changgeng were just for the villagers to hear; as for how they would resolve the issue internally, that would be discussed behind closed doors.

"Certainly," Liu An had not expected marrying Su Xiaotao to go so smoothly, his heart was already bursting with joy.

If he had known marrying Su Xiaotao would be this easy, he would never have bothered with Su Xiaofeng and would definitely have targeted Su Xiaotao from the start.

Although Su Xiaotao wasn’t as pretty as Su Xiaofeng, she would still be good as a wife.

Watching Liu Datou and his son walk with his parents towards their home, Hu Xiaotao’s head spun with dizziness, and she glared at Su Xiaofeng fiercely, "Su Xiaofeng, I know today’s incident must have something to do with you. If my life becomes miserable, don’t expect yours to be any better."

Su Xiaofeng was already a fallen flower; even if there had been something between her and Liu An, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. She, on the other hand, had hopes of catching the eye of Doctor Ye.

Doctor Ye was so handsome, came from a good family, and was a doctor; if she could marry him, she might bring honor to her parents.

All of this was ruined by Su Xiaofeng.

Su Xiaofeng truly felt that she had been wronged and laughed softly, "Have you ever heard the phrase ’reap what you sow’? This morning, in my confusion, I seemed to hear someone whisper in my ear, ’Su Xiaofeng, if you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck, not others.’"

Listening to her words, Su Xiaotao felt as though she had been struck by lightning.

So, Su Xiaofeng wasn’t actually dizzy this morning; she was pretending.

And it must have been her who had knocked herself out.

Su Xiaotao looked at her, "Su Xiaofeng, I’m giving you this phrase back now: I admit I’ve never done anything to wrong you. All of this is simply treating others as they have treated us. I wish you and Liu An a happy marriage from now on, growing old together."

Su Xiaotao snorted coldly, "Don’t be smug for too long. With your broken body, we will definitely live better days than you will."

Then came another cold laugh, "You don’t know yet, do you? The person who wanted something bad to happen to you today wasn’t me. It was your dear uncle and auntie, funny isn’t it?"

No matter what, I’m getting married openly and honorably, not like certain people, tsk tsk.

After saying her piece, Su Xiaotao, unable to face the villagers, covered her face and scurried back home.

Su Xiaofeng listened to her words and pursed her lips in a smile. Funny, isn’t it? Of course, it’s funny.

"Let’s go, let’s see what Hu Xiulan is asking for the dowry from that blockhead Liu An."

"After what has happened, how much can she ask for? A few hundred bucks would be pretty good."

"Lately, I don’t know what’s going on with our village. One girl is worse than the next, morals declining, such a disgrace." The elder sighed deeply.

Everyone was curious as to how the marriage negotiations between Liu An and Su Xiaotao would turn out, showing no real concern for Su Xiaofeng’s existence.

Seeing everyone had left, Su Xiaofeng then slowly turned her gaze to Su Zongming and Ma Donghua.

Ma Donghua, as soon as Su Xiaotao had dragged her into this, wanted to slip away. Feeling Su Xiaofeng’s piercing gaze was like knives falling on her, she took a few steps then came back with a forced smile, "Xiaofeng, don’t listen to Taozi talking nonsense. I’m your dear auntie; how could I ever wish to harm you?"

Su Xiaofeng looked at her, her lips curling slightly, "Auntie, how much did Liu An give you in a red envelope?"

"Just one..." Ma Donghua stopped short of saying ’thousand,’ realizing she had misspoken, "What red envelope are you talking about? I’ve never taken any red envelope from him."

"Yeah, Xiaofeng, we were tricked by Liu An too. He was telling us on one hand that the child in your belly was yours, and on the other hand, he was getting together with Taozi. He’s simply inhuman." Su Zongming, the old soldier, was quick to switch sides.

"So, you thought the child in my belly was Liu An’s, so you drugged the soup to knock me out, and then let Liu An do whatever he wanted to me," Su Xiaofeng scoffed.

"Who the hell told you that? We never put any drugs in there." Ma Donghua’s eyes flickered, "All this was Liu An’s idea."

"Right, Liu An wanted to marry Su Xiaotao, so he gave your auntie this suggestion." For some reason, just standing there, he felt his legs go weak.

It wasn’t like this before, maybe because of the guilt from what he’d done, it’s as if he had regressed in life.

Su Xiaofeng didn’t respond to their explanations, she simply went into the house, came back out with a bowl, and said breezily, "Auntie is really capable, plotting against Xiaotao, yet letting me drink that chicken soup. How about this, let’s take it to Sixth Master and have him check if there’s something wrong with this bowl."

Looking at Su Xiaofeng’s calm expression, Ma Donghua was uncertain about what she planned to do, and defiantly said, "Xiaofeng, look at you, everything’s fine now, isn’t it? Kicking up a fuss and involving outsiders is just unreasonable."

"Right. Liu An is marrying Taozi now, he probably won’t bother you anymore. As for us, we indirectly did you a favor. Besides, if we really drugged you, could you still be standing here, fine?"

Su Zongming felt puzzled too; he clearly saw Su Xiaofeng drink three bowls of soup, so why was she unaffected?

Could it be that the drugs Liu An gave them were fake?

Definitely fake. Otherwise, how could Xiaofeng be interrogating them like they were the criminals?

"Exactly," Ma Donghua said with a smile forced out, "Xiaofeng, all this talk of drugs, you must have imagined it. We kindly made a chicken soup for you, but now you’re accusing us of drugging you, if we speak out, we won’t be able to clear our names."

Su Xiaofeng held the bowl, looking at the sun high in the sky, well past morning.

"Let’s go, my dad should be better by now. We should all visit Sixth Master together."

Upon hearing Su Xiaofeng’s words, Ma Donghua’s smile vanished, her face fell, "Xiaofeng, what are you trying to do? Must you make a big scene out of this, and make it ugly?"

Su Zongming’s expression darkened too, "If it wasn’t for your sudden pregnancy, your uncle and I would’ve worried ourselves sick over your wedding. Perhaps our methods weren’t right, but our intentions were good."

Wanting to make a scene in front of Sixth Master, do you enjoy being disgraced that much?
