Chapter 335: Chapter 336: Qiu Ye and Xu Shengcai Get Married Chapter 335: Chapter 336: Qiu Ye and Xu Shengcai Get Married Although it was Xu Shengcai who was getting married, Xu Shengwu found himself surrounded by a group of old ladies.
“Little sister, save !” Xu Shengwu cried out when he saw his younger sister.
Xu Ying shook her head, indicating she couldn’t help, then turned and followed Qiu Ye back into the house.
“Sister-in-law,” Xu Ying entered the house with a playful grin and called out to Xu Qiuye.
Hearing this title, Qiuye blushed a deep crimson, spreading to her ears, and she coyly lifted her head to look at Xu Ying, “You should still call sister, I’m used to it.”
Xu Ying moved further in and sat down beside her, teasing her, “What’s this, sister-in-law? Are you shy~”
Qiuye’s smile curved, her cheeks burning red: “No, no I’m not.”
“Alright, I’ll still call you Sister Qiu Ye, but from today, you’re my second brother’s wife.
Don’t worry, Sister Qiu Ye, the n in the Xu family cherish their wives. My second brother definitely won’t dare to mistreat you.”
Outside, Xu Ying heard so gossip from a bunch of idle relatives—they were distant folks, her mom had not said a word, yet those loosely related old ladies chattered endlessly.
Addressing her sister-in-law, she said, “Qiuye, now that you’ve married into our family, you should learn to be a good daughter-in-law.
It’s different from being unmarried; now that you are married, you should respect your in-laws, take good care of your little aunt, and then serve your husband diligently…”
At that mont, Xu Ying was dumbfounded.
Not to ntion Sister Qiuye—on such a joyful day, this person intentionally caused trouble.
“At ho, you should do what you need to do. My parents are very open-minded and won’t interfere in your relationship. My second brother and I are both capable; we don’t need you to look after us.
A wife is brought ho to be cherished, not to be treated as a maid. We all know the price won pay to bear children,” Xu Ying spoke up for Xu Qiuye.
Hearing this, Qiuye’s eyes imdiately reddened; in fact, she had already ntally prepared to take care of her husband and mother-in-law.
Her parents had told her when she married: ‘Follow wherever your husband goes, be a good wife and a good daughter-in-law.’
Now, hearing Xu Ying’s words ward her heart, and her nose tingled as she was about to cry.
Xu Ying quickly stopped her, “No crying on such a beautiful day; eat sothing now, my second brother was worried you might be hungry and specifically asked to bring you food.”
The bride had been busy since morning with dressing and had not eaten anything, and with toasting scheduled in a while, she probably wouldn’t eat anything until the afternoon.
Xu Ying brought her a at bun and a chicken leg, sitting down to eat as well.
While eating, she said, “Sister-in-law, when I get married, don’t forget to bring so food.”
She couldn’t bear even a bit of hunger.
Seeing her so boldly talking about her own wedding, Qiu Ye chuckled at her audacity.
The wedding activities continued until after three in the afternoon.
Once the ceremony ended, the Xu family mbers collapsed in their chairs, exhausted.
Mrs. Xu shouted to the villagers, “Anyone who wants to take leftovers can bring their own containers.”
The Xu family’s feast was generous, and every dish had leftovers.
These tis were better, and Mrs. Xu was not as frugal as before, and so she generously allowed everyone to pack food to take ho.
There was a lot of food in the kitchen that hadn’t been touched yet.
All this would be enough for their dinner.
With the weather getting hotter, the food wouldn’t last long anyhow.
“In-laws, don’t bother packing there, co with into the house,” Mrs. Xu called Xu Ren Guo, leading people into the kitchen.
Xu Ren Guo was astounded by the amount of food in the kitchen; he fully acknowledged that the Xu family was doing well.
Inside, there were several large roasted chickens, plus ducks and a variety of at dishes.
These were all prepared by Mrs. Xu to be divided and taken ho by relatives.
“In-law, this is too much,” Xu Ren Guo said it was too much but his hands didn’t hesitate at all.
Xu Qiuye couldn’t watch anymore, “Mom, just take less.”
Xu Ren Guo’s face instantly turned pitch black, thinking that a married daughter was like water drawn out to the household; she had sided with her in-laws so quickly.
Mrs. Xu smiled, “No worries, we have plenty at ho. It’s the sa for every relative.”
Seeing this, Xu Qiuye finally let it go.
All the relatives from Xu Family returned ho loaded with gifts.
Xu Qiuye’s face was flushed as she followed Xu Shengcai back inside.
Xu Shengwu felt uneasy as he saw the look in his mother’s eyes. Just as he was about to step away, Mrs. Xu called him over, “Third Brother, co here.”
Xu Shengwu chuckled, “Mom, what is it?”
“You’re not getting any younger. You used to run around outside every day, and I never had the ti to find you a match. We have a long holiday now; how about we go matchmaking? I’ll go with you,” Mrs. Xu suggested cheerfully.
Xu Shengwu imdiately disliked the idea, pouting and stubbornly lowering his head.
Mrs. Xu grew curious, “If you already have a girl you like, I won’t force you to go matchmaking. But if you don’t, you’re coming with . Don’t tell you like n?”
Xu Shengwu’s lips twitched, showing his misery, “Mom, I already have a girl I like.”
How could he possibly like n? His mom’s thoughts were truly progressive, even knowing about that.
“Who?” Mrs. Xu’s eyes sparkled.
Xu Ying’s expression was exactly like Mrs. Xu’s.
Xu Shengwu kept his mouth tightly shut. Her family was out of their league, which was also why he was working hard in his studies.
“I’ll talk after I get accepted into a university when I’m qualified to pursue her.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xu and Xu Ying exchanged glances, sensing sothing odd.
It would take getting into university to pursue her; she must be soone significant.
Mrs. Xu said with pride, “Third Brother, our family is not poor, why are you so timid? Look at your second brother. Back when we were very poor and he didn’t even have a good job, he still pursued Qiuye.”
Xu Shengwu felt disheartened, “It’s different. Sister Qiuye’s family just had regular jobs. The girl I like is different.”
As soon as Xu Shengwu said this, Mrs. Xu was utterly shocked.
This girl’s family was even more impressive than Qiuye’s, not just regular workers—could they be high-ranking officials?
“What’s up? Are her parents officials?” asked Mrs. Xu.
Xu Shengwu nodded.
Mrs. Xu was instantly unsettled but also felt a bit proud. If her son could really marry a girl from an official’s family, it would carry prestige for their own family.
Xu Ying, curious about Third Brother Xu, couldn’t help but gossip, “Third Brother, is this girl from our county or from the county where you work? If she’s from another county, you can forget about it; they definitely won’t want their daughter to marry so far away.”
Xu Ying intentionally said this.
Third Brother Xu imdiately took the bait and quickly shook his head, “She’s from our county, not as far as you ntioned!”
Relieved, Xu Ying continued her probing, “As long as it’s not far, the chances are better. But, Third Brother, you rarely co back ho; how did you et a girl from our county? Could it be one of our forr classmates?”
