”Manager?” Susu sobbed.
Ling Chaofeng pointed upstairs: ”There's someone over there who's very anxious. If you don't settle this matter for her, she won't be able to sleep at night, are you willing to?”
Susu raised her head and saw that the Xiaowan was about to come down, and quickly said: ”Wait for me obediently, I'll be back right now.” She wiped away her tears and said to Ling Chaofeng: ”Innkeeper, please send me.”
By the side of the Baisha River, Da Qing had just pulled a boat. The fine young girl was wearing only a pair of underpants during the summer, which prevented her clothes from getting worn. It was said that in some places, she did not even wear underpants. At this time, a few naked men on the shore were waiting for the owner of the boat to split the money. When Susu arrived, he was so frightened that she turned her body around.
Da Qing quickly put on his clothes and ran over while panting heavily, ”Innkeeper, why are you guys here? Susu... ”Why are you here?”
Ling Chaofeng laughed: She has something important to ask you, you two speak.
Seeing that a beautiful young lady was looking for Da Qing, the servants behind him all whistled and jeered. Susu was embarrassed to the point that her face was flushed red, but at this point, she steadied her heart, and said loudly: ”This morning, my mother went to your house to propose to you …”
Suddenly, he heard Susu's voice. He turned around and saw Da Qing holding Susu horizontally in his arms, and Susu bashfully buried her face in his chest while Da Qing proudly said to the servants and porters: ”I want to marry my wife.”
Ling Chaofeng could not help but smile. Thinking of the scene when he married Xiaowan, his heart ached.
After an hour, Da Qing followed Susu back to the tavern. Da Qing kowtowed to Auntie Chen and called her mother, causing her to cry so hard that she could not make a sound.
The family and Meimei went back in the cart. Susu was going to kowtow to her future mother-in-law. As for the marriage, he would discuss it with everyone later.
The Aunt Zhang stood in front of the door happily as she watched the family walk away. She said, ”The Heavens are finally not someone who eats nothing.
Uncle Biao hugged her and laughed: ”The heavens have always been working properly, what do you think?”
Aunt Zhang slapped his hand away and chided: ”You're not serious.”
Ling Chaofeng watched on silently and took a plate of fruits, walking upstairs to his room. He saw Xiaowan sobbing on her bed, wiping away her tears, and upon seeing him, she timidly said, ”Hubby, I cried because I was happy.”
”You should laugh if you're happy. What are you crying for? You're just silly all day long.” Ling Chaofeng wiped her face and pretended to be angry, saying, ”You always cry, in the future our baby will also love to cry.”
Xiaowan sniffed and said, ”I won't cry, I won't cry anymore.”
Ling Chaofeng gently hugged her, the night was cold and comfortable. He said, ”Evening, I'm sorry.”
Xiaowan was startled, she pushed Ling Chaofeng away and worriedly looked at him: ”What's wrong?”
Ling Chaofeng said: ”At first, I didn't ask if you were willing, and I married you right away. Even if we were fine, I also made a mistake at that time. I should come to your house and let you know who I am first, ask if you are willing, and then happily marry me. I will never be able to make up for this matter in my entire life. You should have been extremely afraid of being tied up, beaten and starved, and made a bride with tears in your eyes. ”
Xiaowan laughed, ”I don't even remember, I only remember that someone asked me to pay a thousand silver taels. I had no choice but to follow him for the rest of my life, to be bullied by him.
Ling Chaofeng pecked her lips, ”Nonsense.”
Xiaowan said tenderly, ”Hubby, you can bear with it. When our child is born, I'll kiss you everyday.”
Ling Chaofeng lightly kissed her forehead. ”I'll be waiting.”
Everyone was happy that there was a happy occasion in the inn. Although it was a difficult and hot day, Ershan was going to the capital in July so he could have a cup of wine.
Thus, when Susu and Da Qing returned, everyone discussed and decided to arrange the marriage on the fifteenth of the sixth month.
If there was to be a joyous occasion, it would have to be arranged. Aunt Zhang took the intention of marrying her daughter with him and went to the town to buy things. She was extremely busy, and everyday, Uncle Biao would return with a cart full of things, directly heading to Baisha Village.
The Baisha Town was a small place after all, and the news traveled quickly. In less than three days, Yue Huaiyin had heard from the servant girls that Susu was going to be married off.
She asked in a daze, ”Who will marry her?”
The servants replied: ”The man who sends her to the inn to work everyday, who is said to be from the poorest family with the lowest Baisha Village, Susu will not pick him. But ah, as long as he's a good person, then so be it. He has the money in Ling Xiao Inn anyway. ”
Why was it that a woman who had been humiliated like Susu could obtain a man's sincerity, be able to marry successfully, why did she give up everything, and get nothing?
Why was the hearts of this world so unfair?
Yue Huaiyin was startled for a long time. The servant girls did not dare to say anything else and only warned her carefully, ”Miss, the county magistrate is coming tonight.”
Her eyes lit up and her lips curled up into a cold smile. She wasn't in a good mood, so no one could be better off.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, it was the tenth day of the sixth month. After the rain, Auntie Chen was checking out the vegetables she grew in the fields in front of the tiled houses. A villager at the side of the fields called out to her: ”Mother Susu, someone is looking for you.”
Hearing that, Auntie Chen straightened up and saw a man standing outside the courtyard. He had a familiar face and on his body was a thin bundle, he looked around and met her gaze. He smiled coldly and shouted: ”Mother, I've finally found you guys.”
