SFS Chapter 150: Cousin was plotted against
Chapter 150: Cousin was plotted against
"You're so annoying. You come back to make fun of me as soon as you get back." Yang Ruxue blushed and started to feel awkward.
"Sister, don't joke with your cousin now. She is very shy now. She gets shy at the slightest provocation."
Su Wenxing ignored her cousin's angry look and started talking with a smile.
"Xingxing, your cousin is shy, stop talking!" Su Xiaofang couldn't help but speak up for her daughter.
The truth is, she was afraid that the person she had finally convinced would go back on his word.
"Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back." Yang Ruxue turned around and ran away, going home angrily.
Su Qiuyi was completely confused, her cousin was never like this before.
You got angry after just a few words? What's going on?
"Okay, let's take care of her. She's busy embroidering her dowry and has no time to stay here! Let's go in and eat!"
"What dowry? What happened in the past month when I was away from home?"
Su Qiuyi was even more confused.
It was the younger sister who spoke quickly and told her elder sister everything that had happened.
After listening, everyone had already arrived at the dining room.
Sure enough, a large table of delicious food was prepared, but Su Qiuyi was more interested in the marriage of her cousin than Chu Meimei.
In just over a month, both of them got engaged, and the old girl in the Su family even got married.
"Aunt, what are you thinking? You're actually arranging a marriage for my cousin and his sister? Isn't this a torture? It's not like our family can't afford a wife for my cousin, so why do we need to arrange a marriage?"
From the moment she heard this, Su Qiuyi didn't understand why? Why did she have to exchange the bride?
"I can only say that this is all fate."
Su Xiaofang sighed. She knew Lao Niu's daughter, a very capable girl. But as for his son, she really didn't know him very well.
But there was nothing she could do. Who had let her daughter fall into a trap on the mountain and be carried back by the old Niu boy? In this way, her daughter's reputation was ruined. Who else could she marry if not him?
At first, Yang Ruxue was reluctant, but it was after Su Xiaofang persuaded her for several days that she agreed to marry.
At the beginning, a matchmaker was asked to introduce Yang Ruchuan to the daughter of Lao Niu's family, and the marriage had almost been settled. But when this incident happened, both sides had no choice but to change the marriage.
After listening to what her aunt said, Su Qiuyi sighed. The feudal system in ancient times had done great harm to people.
After the meal, my mind is full of worries.
As soon as he finished his meal, he ran out to find his cousin.
Her aunt and her family have always lived in their own house, that is, they lived together with Old Yang's family. As soon as she walked to the gate of Old Yang's yard, she heard a voice in the yard. It was from Old Yang's wife.
"You silly girl, hurry up and come out to cook. You've been hiding in the house all day, and you still think you're a virgin? You're so precious."
"Oh, mother. Just stop talking! Xiaoxue didn't want to get hurt! If you scold her like that, you'll be embarrassed when big brother and sister-in-law come back!"
Su Qiuyi recognized that this was the voice of the youngest daughter of the Yang family.
"You silly girl, you are the same, you are already an old maid and still can't get married! Look, your nephews and nieces are all getting married, if I were you, I would have hit my head against the wall and died! Hurry up and go in and embroider my dowry! Tomorrow I will beg the matchmaker to marry you off no matter what!"
Su Qiu was filled with anger, but he did not rush in. He just listened at the gate of the courtyard.
"Mom, is it because I can't get married? You don't say my sister is doing good things..."
"Shut up! Do you want your sister to die? Get in there now!"
"Girl, didn't you hear me calling you? What are you doing hiding in the house?"
After the old lady carried her daughter into the house, she called Yang Ruxue again.
Su Qiuyi then calmed himself down and walked in.
"Grandma Yang, what are you yelling about? You're so angry, be careful not to get angry!"
When Mrs. Yang saw that it was Su Qiuyi, the expression on her face changed again and again. After a while, she smiled and said, "Yiyi, you are here? Come in quickly. Your cousin is in the house. You are of similar age and can chat with each other. Come in and chat!"
"Oh, really? Didn't Grandma Yang ask my cousin to cook? Wouldn't it be a problem if I went in?"
Su Qiuyi asked directly.
She didn't want to give any face to this old woman at all.
"No, no, I'll cook the meal. There aren't many people eating at home, so I can handle it."
Su Qiuyi nodded and walked inside.
As soon as I walked into my cousin's room, I heard suppressed crying.
Looking at the sad girl lying on the table and crying, Su Qiuyi felt very distressed.
Who wouldn't be sad when her own grandmother said that to her?
"cousin..."
She stood there for a while, then called for help. Seeing that she couldn't stop crying, her eyes were swollen in a short while.
Yang Ruxue raised her head and looked at Su Qiuyi who was standing there. The tears in her eyes slowly disappeared. She wiped her face and stood up.
"Yiyi, why are you here? You must be tired from traveling. Why don't you take a rest first?"
Her cousin was still as gentle as ever, and spoke softly, but with a hint of tears in her voice, which made her heart wrench.
"Cousin, what happened? How did you get up the mountain? How did you get injured? And how did you get rescued by that Niu guy?"
She just felt that there was something fishy going on. Why did she meet that person by such a coincidence?
"That day, Niu Xiaoli came to see me and helped us with the work. After the biscuits were made, I wanted to take her home and cook for her, but she said she wasn't married yet and it was not nice to come to her house. She asked me to go for a walk in the mountains, so I went. Later, we ran into a snake and we were all scared. I was not paying attention and fell and sprained my ankle. Her brother happened to be nearby and came to take me home. Later, the villagers started to spread rumors. My mother made me get engaged to Niu Xiaofeng for my reputation..."
Yang Ruxue tried her best to recreate the scene at that time.
"Cousin, was it my aunt who first proposed the engagement, or was it the Niu family?"
Yang Ruxue thought for a moment and said, "It was the Niu family who first proposed it. The Niu family lives in Sidaoyingzi Village, not far from here. They came to our house the day after the incident and said that for the sake of my reputation, they wanted me to get engaged to Niu Xiaofeng as a marriage exchange, and they didn't want Niu Xiaoli's betrothal gift."
Su Qiuyi heard something wrong.
"Cousin, are you close to Niu Xiaoli? Does she often come to play with you?"
"No, that was the first time. After that, I didn't feel like going out. She came twice and didn't come again."
There was something strange about the matter. It seemed as if all of this was planned by Niu Xiaoli, or rather the Niu family, in order to marry the cousin home.
To be honest, my cousin is pretty and gentle, so it's normal for someone to like her. But what makes me angry is that the Niu family tried to ruin my cousin's reputation in order to achieve their goal.
All ten people knew how important a man's reputation was, yet they did everything they could to ruin my cousin.
"Cousin, do you like Niu Xiaofeng? If you don't want to get married, I can help you find a way. Getting married is a lifelong event. We can't compromise for anything."
Su Qiuyi had a serious expression and confident eyes. There was nothing she couldn't do as long as she wanted to. There was no reason for her cousin to suffer any injustice.
