61: 61 Is your mouth dry?
He Ximei came back from drying chili peppers and overheard Su Xiaofeng at the doorstep, feeling warmth in her heart.
Xiaofeng had finally grown sensible and learned to care for her father.
Because of Pengzi, Old Guaizi had endured countless rumors outside.
He Ximei was very grateful to Old Guaizi; had he not been willing to create a family with her, with her mentally challenged son, remarriage would have been difficult.
Indeed, even Pengzi’s biological father didn’t take care of him, let alone other men who were not so noble.
Initially, she didn’t expect Old Guaizi to treat Pengzi in any special way, merely providing him with food was enough.
However, after she married into the family, whatever Xiaofeng had, Pengzi had too, which moved her deeply.
Listening to Xiaofeng’s words, she chuckled lightly, “It doesn’t matter whose child is in Xiaofeng’s belly, as long as she gives birth, I will raise it.
The child will be a part of the Su Family once born and will also share Old Guaizi’s blood.”
“Shameless, the whole family knows no shame,” Uncle was infuriated by He Ximei’s words, his beard nearly lifted in anger, “A girl’s child, how can she support the family name?
If she really wants to support her father, she should bring a man back home.”
“That’s right,” Ma Donghua didn’t yet grasp He Ximei’s intentions but merely wanted to appease Su Xiaofeng and the older brother, gaining a place for her and her son in the household.
With this in mind, a cold smile appeared on Ma Donghua’s face, “Elder sister, if Xiaofeng brought a man back and got pregnant, our family wouldn’t say a word.
The problem is, this child Xiaofeng is carrying is of Liu An, and Liu An is the only son of Big Head Liu.
He definitely won’t agree to becoming an ‘upstairs’ son-in-law.”
Su Guisheng snorted coldly, “Big brother, Xiaofeng absolutely cannot stay at home.
She is now carrying Liu An’s child, you can’t just let her remain unmarried and stay at home forever.”
Ma Donghua continued, “A woman, if not married but with a child at her maternal home, would face endless gossip once she steps outside.
Most importantly, it affects our family, saying our Su family has poor family values, doesn’t educate its children well, I’m embarrassed just thinking about it.”
Listening to Su Guisheng and his wife, Uncle definitively settled it, “She’s already pregnant, she must marry, marry, or marry.
Guaizi, you are her father, you can’t let her mess around.
If you let her, then what’s the use of being a parent?
If you want her to marry, she wouldn’t dare refuse.”
A child already conceived without plans for marriage, wasn’t it disgraceful?
Su Xiaofeng had been listening for a while and guessed that Big Head Liu went to Ma Donghua’s family, and then this family of three came to force the marriage.
Her father had nearly lost his life at the construction site, and these three showed up acting as if they had seen nothing, not a word of concern, but directing her marriage immediately.
It was indeed an eye-opener for her.
Old Guaizi glanced at Xiaofeng, his dry lips moved, “Uncle, Liu An is nothing but a rogue, idle and lazy, even his character is rotten, Xiaofeng wouldn’t have a good life marrying him.”
“Big brother, that’s not right,” Ma Donghua was unhappy hearing Old Guaizi’s words, listening this from a father.
Just Xiaofeng showing with a belly now, finding anyone bravely willing to marry her was good enough, not to mention being picky, not seeing what goods Su Xiaofeng really entails, “Liu An might just be lacking in looks, but in other aspects, he is much better compared to others.”
As Ma Donghua spoke, she glanced at Su Peng squatting at the doorway playing with some straws and snorted coldly.
Hearing Ma Donghua’s comments, Su Xiaofeng’s lips curled slightly, she directly asked, “Aunt, how much did Liu An’s family bribe you for you to speak so favorably of him?
It must have been a lot, seeing you’ve been belittling your own brother and me since you arrived, isn’t your mouth dry?
Shall I brew some tea for us, so you can talk enough today?”
