General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming novel Chapter 69

69 Manipulation (2)

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “Today!”

Wei Ting asked, “Why must it be today?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. “Because... it’s New Year’s Eve today?”

Wei Ting chuckled. “I think you made a bet with someone, right?”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. “Uh... you know?”

How could he not know? Even the neighboring village had heard Su Ergou’s loud voice.

Su Ergou had already said those harsh words, putting Su Xiaoxiao in a difficult position. If she couldn’t produce a pair of couplets, she would be humiliated.

“Are you going to write it or not?”

“No,” Wei Ting refused.

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes dangerously. “Are you really not going to write it?”

Wei Ting said calmly, “I won’t write it. I’ve said so.”

Su Xiaoxiao placed her hands on her hips. “You really want to see me embarrass myself, right? Don’t forget, you’re my husband! If I embarrass myself, you won’t be any better!”

Wei Ting said calmly, “I don’t care.”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Just as Su Xiaoxiao was gritting her teeth, someone knocked on the back door of the kitchen.

Su Xiaoxiao thought that it was Little Wu. She glared at Wei Ting angrily and turned to open the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Su Jinniang.

Su Jinniang was wearing a brand new pink floral cotton shirt and a white embroidered jacket. To be honest, it was not the authentic pink color but an unforgiving shade. If her foundation was slightly worse, it was very likely that she would look dull and old-fashioned.

However, Su Jinniang could carry it off. She was not called the village belle for nothing.

“Why are you at my house?” Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly.

She did not think that she could have any interaction with Su Jinniang in private. Su Jinniang clearly had a motive for her sudden visit.

Su Jinniang glanced in the direction of the courtyard and central room. “Are you alone in your house?”

“Who are you looking for?” Su Xiaoxiao was logical and didn’t waste her breath on her.

Su Jinniang frowned. It was unknown if it was because she didn’t like Su Xiaoxiao’s attitude or if there was something else.

“For you.” Su Jinniang took off the cloth on the basket and handed a roll of red paper to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao unfolded it and saw that it was a couplet.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her strangely. “Su Jinniang, what do you mean by this?”

Su Jinniang said, “Su Daya, I’m here to help you. You don’t have to be so hostile to me!”

Her voice was a little loud.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “You, Su Jinniang, are helping me?”

When she was young, she was ostracized but Su Jinniang never pulled her friends from the village to play with her. Why did she suddenly become so kind?

Su Jinniang said seriously, “You contradicted your aunt in front of so many people just now. She’ll come over soon to mock you. Take this couplet and use it. It can’t compare to Scholar Chen’s. After all, I bought it from town. But it’s enough to deal with your aunt!”

The village belle’s actions were really strange. She had scolded her previously, but this time, she came to help her.

Su Jinniang continued, “Get your husband to say that he wrote it. It should be able to fool your aunt.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. “Su Jinniang, my aunt is your future mother-in-law. Instead of taking her side, you secretly came over to help me?”

Su Jinniang frowned and said, “My marriage hasn’t been decided. I might not marry into the Chen family.”
