"Village head uncle, I know you resent for not agreeing to marry your son before, but I’m a person too. I have my own ideas. I really don’t like your son. Forced love won’t be sweet, and violating a woman’s will is illegal..."
After her loud proclamation, the village head was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on?
Wasn’t all that settled ages ago? What’s this troubleso girl bringing it up again today for? What’s her aim?
Su Xiaoxiao shouted for a while with a raised voice, then flashed a sinister smile at the village head, leaned closer, and whispered, "Village head uncle, just help write a break-up letter, and I promise this matter will rot in my belly henceforth, otherwise a weak, pitiful, powerless village girl like would have to seek help from the county police comrades."
As if recalling sothing, she slowly added, "If I rember correctly, that’s a cri, and it’s subject to imprisonnt. Sigh, I have no idea how many years one would get."
As soon as she finished speaking, the face of Village Head Chen turned ashen, like a frozen fish later dead for three months.
"What nonsense are you talking? It was that wife Wang who initiated it."
ntioning this, he got angry; not only did he fail to get a daughter-in-law, but also half of the betrothal gift was scamd away by that Wang Chunhua, upon whom could he vent his complaints? He’s also quite aggrieved, isn’t he?
Seeing a lot of villagers gathering around upon hearing the commotion, Village Head Chen hurriedly skidded over and covered Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth tightly, "You little brat stop crying already, I’ll agree with you now, okay?"
Upon hearing the desired response, Su Xiaoxiao instantly composed herself, seamlessly and effortlessly.
Village Head Chen was dumbstruck; not going into acting with such skill seems a waste indeed.
Su Xiaoxiao smilingly dusted herself off and stood up: "Village head uncle, look, there’s no need to treat as an outsider, right? Who else would I try to con but not you? You are my most beloved village head, our village can’t go without you. When do you think would be a good ti for us to sign the break-up letter? Is tomorrow morning okay? It’s late, and I’ll need to head to work."
Village Head Chen’s lip twitched when he thought of himself listening to that ddling old woman Wang Chunhua earlier; why the devil would he antagonize this girl! Now, consequently, the handle is in this little girl’s hands and he has to follow her lead?
Seeing through his thoughts, Su Xiaoxiao righteously patted her chest, assuring, "Village head uncle, rest assured, I’m soone who treasures credibility greatly. I only use such a thod this once; henceforth, this matter will rot in my belly, and I’ll never ntion a word of it."
Only then did Village Head Chen breathe a sigh of relief; after all, it was just a break-up letter, all related to the Su Family’s own matters, no loss to him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he relaxed, he saw Chen Xiaoniu beside him earnestly look at Su Xiaoxiao and loudly call out, "Dad."
Village Head Chen staggered, almost failing to stand upright and falling over.
Does this brat not recognize his own dad, and even get the gender wrong? The hell is this?
The calling of "dad" gave Village Head Chen a heart attack; he imdiately pulled a face and waved his hand at Su Xiaoxiao, saying, "Alright then, hurry back, co see tomorrow morning."
He finished speaking and dragged Chen Xiaoniu inside, but who knew this dumb kid, gazing longingly back at Su Xiaoxiao while leaving, kept asking, "Dad, when will you co see again?"
Village Head Chen’s forehead pulsated visibly, giving his silly son a hard slap on the head, "If you call dad one more ti, see if I won’t beat the hell out of you."
Feeling aggrieved, Chen Xiaoniu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao’s departing figure but didn’t dare call "dad" again.
Though he liked "dad," he feared the pain.
Just as the two entered the house, the village head’s wife approached with a smile, "Dear son, did you call ’dad’ just now? Co on, call ’mom’ out for a change?"
Village Head Chen suddenly had a very bad feeling.
"Co on, call ’mom,’ and you’ll get a big drumstick to eat."
His wife coaxed enticingly while Chen Xiaoniu looked at the drumstick, then at the village head, eventually shouting toward the latter, "Mom!"
Damn it, he knew this brat couldn’t distinguish between male and female!
Village Head Chen nearly went mad, shaking Chen Xiaoniu zealously, "She’s your mom? I’m dad, I’m dad!"
Chen Xiaoniu puzzledly stared at him for a mont, then suddenly affird, "Mmm."
For a mont, everything around was silent while Village Head Chen pinched his philtrum to keep himself from fainting.
Unawares of the turmoil she stirred at the village head’s house, Su Xiaoxiao lay comfortably on the bed, deep in sleep.
Thinking of being able to completely sever ties with that family of scumbags tomorrow filled her with joy.
The effects of excessive excitent were apparent as she flopped around like a pancake until the middle of the night, successfully growing famished in the process.
With familiarity bred from repetition, she nimbly turned on her flashlight, fetched out her small electric cooker, and dug out a packet of instant noodles.
The "rustle" of her tearing open the instant noodle packet brought two familiar heads poking through the doorway.
Two pairs of clear eyes stared at her hungrily, "Third sister, what are you eating? We want so too."
Su Xiaoxiao remained silent; were these two dogs? Every ti she tore open a packaging, within three seconds, these two would appear directly at her bedroom door.
She opened her mouth but didn’t have ti to speak before Su Jianwu smilingly took out his own bowl and chopsticks from behind, "Third sister, we’ve already got the utensils ready, ready to eat anyti."
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
The next morning, without bothering with breakfast, Su Xiaoxiao directly took Liu Cuilan to the village head’s house.
While the village head was in the courtyard brushing his teeth with his butt sticking out, the banging sound at the door startled him, nearly making him drop his enal cup.
"Who’s there?"
The village head’s tone contained anger; who was banging at the door this early in the morning? Rushing to the afterlife, are they?
"Village head uncle, it’s ."
A girl’s sweet, pleasant voice soon sounded from outside.
Village Head Chen glanced at the sky, feeling a violent urge to kill — he did instruct them to co in the morning, but not this early, alright?
He hadn’t finished brushing his teeth nor eaten breakfast.
Grinding his molars, he headed to open the door when the room door behind him banged open.
A tall figure beat him to it, rushing out.
Chen Xiaoniu imdiately pulled open the door with enthusiasm and shouted to the Su Xiaoxiao standing outside, "Dad!"
Liu Cuilan was dumbfounded; no, who’s this brat calling ’dad’?
She instinctively looked behind her, finding nothing there, feeling a chill down her spine.
Word had it that those with simple minds could often see things others couldn’t. Could it be...
Her thoughts hadn’t settled when she saw Su Xiaoxiao smilingly take out a candy from her pocket and place it in Chen Xiaoniu’s palm, "Good boy."
Liu Cuilan sighed in relief, glad that Chen Xiaoniu wasn’t calling sothing weird.
But what was he calling...
Wait, she suddenly realized.
No, who did he just call ’dad’?
