General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

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.”

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “Oh, is that what your family wants?”

“You worry about yourself! Your aunt is coming over soon! Whether you want to embarrass yourself or not is up to you!”

With that, Su Jinniang didn’t care if Su Xiaoxiao wanted to accept the couplet or not and left without looking back!

She seemed to be walking very quickly, but she had actually been paying attention to the Su family.

As she heard Fatty Su close the back door, the man’s face flashed across her mind, and her heart raced.

He... should have heard it, right?

Did he know that she had come to help?

Would he be grateful to her?

Su Xiaoxiao took the couplet to Wei Ting’s room.

Wei Ting was still wiping his dagger.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s already shining. There’s no need to wipe it!”

Wei Ting said, “I like it.”

Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips and threw the couplet on the table in front of him.

“What?” Wei Ting asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s a couplet given by Su Jinniang! How strange. She clearly doesn’t have a good relationship with me and even exposed my shortcomings in front of you the last time, but she came to help me today!”

“You didn’t ask her why.” To be honest, Wei Ting wasn’t interested.

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “I asked! I said that my aunt is her future mother-in-law. Shouldn’t she help her instead? Guess what she said? She said that she might not marry Scholar Chen! What is Su Jinniang up to? By the way, she even reminded me to be on good terms with you and say that you wrote the couplet! She’s quite thoughtful. Our family of three can’t read, and only you, a foreign son-in-law, can lie.”

Wei Ting said, “The couplet that has just been written is wet. In this weather, it won’t dry for half a day.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked thoughtful. “You’re right. Then Su Jinniang would have given it to me for nothing! I would still be exposed! I thought she was so smart, but it turns out that she’s only so-so!”

Wei Ting looked at a certain fat girl. “How do you do business with your brain? You’re so stupid!”

Su Xiaoxiao stood up and said angrily, “Who are you calling stupid? Anyway, you’re not writing it! If I can’t produce the couplet, I’ll be mocked! So what if I’m exposed? It doesn’t matter!”

Bang!

She slammed the door and left!

“Give it to me!”

Wei Ting said in a low voice.

“Pour your own water! Take your own food!”

“Paper.”

“Huh? Husband, what did you say?” Su Xiaoxiao switched to a Loli voice and pushed open the door. She stuck her head in and blinked at him.

There was no one else who could change their attitude so quickly.

The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched as he said coldly, “Am I going to write the couplet?”

“Hehe, hubby is the best!” Su Xiaoxiao smiled and went to the central room to get the red paper.

The brush and ink had been bought when she prescribed Young Master Xiang’s medicine in the past and had always been placed in Wei Ting’s room.

“Grind the ink,” Wei Ting said expressionlessly.

“Okay!” Su Xiaoxiao agreed with a smile.

She took out an inkstone and ink block. As she ground the ink, she said earnestly, “I think Su Jinniang probably didn’t want me to be exposed on purpose. She probably just wanted to help and didn’t think too much. We have to be grateful to her, especially you, husband. Don’t have a bad impression of her because of this.”

Wei Ting glanced at her with a complicated expression. Did this girl realize everything?

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head decisively. “I don’t understand anything. I’m just an innocent little pitiful girl!”

The cunning Su Xiaoxiao was chased out by Wei Ting.
