63: 63 Becoming Betrothed First

Su Xiaofeng combed through the memories of the body’s original owner and found that her uncle’s family had never once invited her for a meal, nor had they bought her a new piece of clothing, let alone cared for her for a single day.

The original owner had never lived with her birth mother, and if it was a real uncle, he would at least have cared a little for his niece.

According to the original owner’s memories, when the grandmother had just passed away, she couldn’t get meals to eat.

Su Laoguai was busy going to work, leaving in the morning and returning at night.

At that time, she was only six years old.

Because she had been undernourished since childhood, she grew slowly and would stand on a stool at noon to fry rice on the stove.

Several times, because the pot was too hot and burned her hand, she could not eat lunch and would sit at the door crying.

When Su Guisheng saw her crying, he simply said she was so useless that she might as well stay hungry and not eat.

It was her great-aunt from the third side of the family who came back from the fields and saw her hand was burned.

She quickly tended to her wound and had her stay to eat.

Su Guisheng listened to Su Xiaofeng’s words, with his eyes wide open.

This damned girl, how dare she talk back?

She really has grown bold.

“You can’t even feed yourself, and now you blame me for not giving you food to eat?

Su Xiaofeng, I don’t care what you were like as a child.

But if you think you can give birth at your parents’ home, that’s absolutely not happening.”

“That would be a disgrace, something that would make you the subject of gossip in the village.

Xiaofeng, you might have no shame, but we do,” Ma Donghua said, having been holding in her anger at Su Xiaofeng’s words.

Before, she had thought Su Xiaofeng was just weak and easy to bully.

She had not expected that she was like a silent dog, one that bites from behind.

“Your father may not care about this, but I, as your second great-uncle, do.” He decided on the spot, “I’ll have someone send a message to Liu Datou right away to bring over the grain and flour.

Today, you two families will finalize the marriage arrangement.”

The so-called grain and flour referred to arranging a whole chicken on a plate, followed by fish, rice, eggs, and pastries, all carried over on a frame.

It was something that only happened when a man and a woman were engaged to be married.

“Second Uncle…” Su Laoguai was still shocked by what Su Xiaofeng had said, and when he heard the second uncle’s words

He suddenly interjected: “This can’t be done.”

The second great-uncle paid no attention to Su Laoguai: “How can it not be done.

I’m not criticizing you, but you should be more decisive.

A grown man should be decisive when it’s time to be decisive, assertive when it’s time to be assertive.

It’s no wonder Luo Yuzhu left you back then.”

He Ximei moved her lips slightly, her gaze turning to Su Xiaofeng.

She had been standing here listening for a long time and had grasped the gist of it.

Xiaofeng’s demeanor was indeed different from before, when in such situations, Xiaofeng would only hide in her room, not daring to say a word.

Just now, not only had Xiaofeng talked back, she had also dared to reveal the ugly faces of Su Guisheng’s family, so she wanted to hear what Xiaofeng would do next.

Su Laoguai, upon hearing the second great-uncle’s words, wanted to retort but, out of respect for his elder, ultimately did not.

Seeing that her father remained silent, Su Xiaofeng knew he had backed down again, and said coldly, “My parents’ divorce, isn’t it because of you?

If you hadn’t taken away the good fields from our family, leaving behind only the paddy fields whose harvest wasn’t enough to feed our family for half a year, would my mother have gone to the county to work?”

“That was what we should have taken,” Su Guisheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

Having been adopted by his second great-uncle since he was young and leaving his elder brother at home, he felt it was only right to get a share of the family property when he returned home.

Even if the whole village came to judge, no one could find fault with him.
