The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Chen Xu stood there without moving, and the village head asked him, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"...Yes!" Zhao Yunchuan's voice was a little bit gnashing, "The head of the village knows that Zhao Yunchuan is a son-in-law. Don't you think it's beneath your status to congratulate a son-in-law so eagerly?"

"presumptuous!"

Chen Xu's body trembled slightly, but he did not look away. He looked as if he was determined to get an explanation.

"Do I need to tell you where I'm going to have a drink?"

"Of course it's not necessary, but... it's really disrespectful to be friends with a son-in-law."

The head of the village laughed: "Is it disgraceful? I think you are jealous?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Xu's expression changed again and again, in a very exciting way.

Is he jealous?

This question flashed through his mind, but was quickly denied. No, how could he be jealous? Zhao Yunchuan was just taller, more handsome, and better at earning money than him, but he was not bad either. He was the only student in the village, and now he had married the daughter of Mr. Sun.

From this perspective, he is still better.

Yes, that's definitely the case.

This is what Chen Xu thought, and he said: "I am not jealous of Zhao Yunchuan, and I am not worse than him."

The village head said, haha, this man is not only narrow-minded, but also stubborn. Oh, yes, he is also blind.

"In your eyes, Zhao Yunchuan is just a son-in-law, but in my eyes, he is a hero who can fight with bandits and capture wanted criminals single-handedly. A man should be broad-minded and upright, not like you..." He is petty-minded and loves to gossip.

The head of the village can understand that Chen Xu doesn’t like Zhao Yunchuan, but Zhao Yunchuan is not money, how can everyone like him?

But what he didn't understand was... the person in front of him stopped his carriage in wedding clothes and said some ambiguous words. How was this different from a gossipy woman trying to sow discord?

Chen Xu was still a little unwilling: "It was pure luck that he was able to catch the bandit."

The village head rolled his eyes at him unhappily: "Are you born in the year of the duck?"

"Huh? No, students are not ducks."

That shouldn't be the case. His mouth is so hard. If he's not a duck, then could he be a stone?

"Student attribute..."

The village head didn't want to waste time with him anymore, so he waved his hand and sent him away: "Look at the way you're dressed, are you getting married today? Then hurry back and don't delay the auspicious time."

As he said this, the head of the village lowered the curtain and told the driver to continue driving.

"Drive~"

Chen Xu was so embarrassed that he returned to the team in a really dusty state.

A villager asked, "Chen Tongsheng, why did the village head leave? Didn't you tell him that he was taking the wrong road?"

Chen Xu quickly adjusted his mood, put away the gloomy look on his face, and turned into the polite scholar again.

"The head of the village went to Fang's house."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Go to Fang's house? I haven't heard that Zhao has any relationship with the head of the village?"

"I thought we were going to Chen's house."

Chen Xu spoke slowly, "The head of the village said that there is no need to talk about empty formalities between us. Zhao Yunchuan was lucky and caught a wanted criminal, so the head of the village just went over to take a look symbolically."

The villagers nodded. So that's how it is. It seems that the head of the village still values ​​Chen Tongsheng more and doesn't follow those empty formalities. Doesn't this mean he treats Chen Tongsheng as his own?

"Okay, let's keep going."

The wedding procession arrived at Chen's house with music and drums, and they were eager to have dinner.

The Chen family didn't prepare breakfast for them, and they walked back and forth between the village and the town, so they were already starving.

Some people were so hungry that they secretly ran into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat so that they could fill their stomachs.

As a result, Chen herself stayed in the kitchen to prevent anyone from stealing food.

Tian Er was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. He talked to Chen in a nice voice, "Aunt, can you give us something to eat first?"

In fact, his request was not excessive at all. It has been a customary practice for hundreds of years that the people who come to pick up the bride should provide breakfast.

When he saw the Chen family's deserted kitchen this morning, he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He felt a little upset. Was this the Chen family looking down on them in disguise?

He wasn't sure.

If the groom Chen Xu was also hungry like them, they could indeed not care, on the condition that he did not see Chen secretly feeding Chen Xu a white flour bun and two eggs.

He wanted to make a scene at the time, but then he thought better of it. There was no need to ruin someone else's wedding banquet for a bite of food. After all... most people only have one chance in their lifetime.

Chen glared at Tian Er unhappily, her voice was as sharp as a hook and her words were extremely insulting.

"You are the reincarnation of a starving ghost. It's not even lunchtime yet and you're already thinking about eating. What's the matter? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate after eating? Just eat after you've been given the gift money! Don't think I don't know about you. You want to eat as much as you can for a few copper coins. You're so proud of yourself!"

Tian Er's expression changed: "Auntie, you don't have to be so harsh, right?"

"It's unpleasant to hear?" Chen snorted coldly: "The truth has hit my heart, right? Get out of here quickly, I'm annoyed to see you being so useless!"

Tian Er was angry, but he was not a Ninja Turtle and could not endure it anymore.

"It's a rule passed down by our ancestors for hundreds of years to provide breakfast for the bride's guests. It's fine if you don't provide breakfast, but we just want to find something to fill our stomachs. Do you have to say such harsh words?"

Tian Er's voice was very loud and many people heard it.

Many people looked at Chen with meaningful eyes. This Chen was not a kind person. Who would let someone go to pick up the bride on an empty stomach?

Chen stiffened her neck and replied, "I didn't mean it."

"Yes, you didn't mean it, you did it on purpose! Am I the reincarnation of a starving ghost? You are the reincarnation of a poor ghost, you can't even afford a breakfast, and you still ask for fifteen taels of betrothal money, you just want to pretend to be rich!"

Someone advised: "Tian Er, on this happy day, please say less."

"It's not my big day, they dare to do it, are they afraid of what I say?"

"It really wasn't intentional. Isn't Chen Tongsheng also hungry like us?"

Hearing this, Chen regained her confidence: "Yes, I just miscalculated the time and prepared a little late."

But they have an auspicious time to pick up the bride, and they cannot miss the auspicious time.

"Did you listen to her nonsense?" Tian Er snorted coldly. He didn't intend to keep these unpleasant things in his heart. If he was upset, he would be upset with everyone: "I saw her secretly stuff two eggs and a white flour bun into Chen Xu this morning!"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Tian Er, you didn't see it wrong, did you?"

"I must have seen it wrong!"

"Yes, Chen Tongsheng said himself that he was hungry too. He is a scholar, so he would not lie, right?"

"That's right!"

At this moment, another person also whispered: "I saw it too."

"What did you see?"

"Auntie Chen secretly gave Chen Xu two eggs and a white flour bun."

Everyone:...

"And I saw it, too!"

Everyone:! ! ! ! !
