Chapter 138 Return Home Gloriously
Wu Chuan also went to sell vegetables with his sons. He was quite content since they earned so much money, so he decided to buy some pork.
The daughters-in-law spent much time smoking the pork and hung them on the beams of the house. They were happy because the children would enjoy a big dinner for the Spring Festival.
Unexpectedly, their mother-in-law asked them to take some food to their parents. Three daughters-in-law were over the moon.
Liu Cuihua smiled and said kindly, "Be careful on the way. Come back early. Zhaodi, don't visit your parents this time because it's cold and icy out there. It will be dangerous if you fall over. Dacheng can take it to your parents."
Chen Zhaodi's abdomen became bigger and she also worried about it. She touched her abdomen and smiled softly, "Ok."
Liu Cuihua cast her eyes at Su Jiuyue, "Jiujiu, let Xiyuan go together with you."
Su Jiuyue hadn't visited her parents for around two months, she also missed them very much.
Wu Xiyuan was happier than Su Jiuyue. He jumped, "Yeah! Xiyuan will see Maomao soon. Xiyuan and Maomao are good friends. Xiyuan will take a sandbag to play with Maomao."
Liu Cuihua worried that he would make trouble and asked him to behave himself.
"Don't make trouble or I won't let you go with Jiujiu next time. Do you understand?"
Wu Xiyuan was full of grievance and excused himself, "I've never made trouble. I'm always obedient to my wife."
Su Jiuyue proved, "Yes, mum, he always obeys me. Don't worry."
Liu Cuihua snorted and loosed her hand, "You obey your wife instead of me. You said I'm partial, but I think you are the partial one."
Wu Xiyuan grasped his chest as if touching his heartbeat. He suddenly walked towards Liu Cuihua and hugged her, "Xiyuan is partial to mum."
Liu Cuihua was not jealous of her daughter-in-law. She patted on his back, "Alright. Don't hug me since you've grown up. You may be laughed at by others if they see it."
Wu Xiyuan shook his head, "Whatever. They laugh at me every day anyway."
Liu Cuihua was confused about whether he was stupid or not. If he was really stupid, why did he understand many things? If he was not stupid, why was he so foolishly cute?
"Don't you want to play with Maomao? You can't play with him for a long time if you go there late."
Wu Xiyuan immediately loosed his hand as soon as he heard it. He stood beside Su Jiuyue and waved to Liu Cuihua, "Bye, mum."
Tian Xiuniang burst into laughter, "You're changing rapidly. You hugged mum so tightly a few seconds ago, but loosed quickly when mentioning playing."
Wu Xiyuan curled his lips when Tian Xiuniang was laughing at him. He tugged at Su Jiuyue's coat, "Honey, it's time to go."
Liu Cuihua got the bags filled with the same things for her daughters-in-law and asked to take them to their parents.
Su Jiuyue was wearing new clothes and carried a heavy bag full of meat and buckwheat. She instantly understood why Yang Liu returned in a high profile that day.
If you didn't return home gloriously, it would be the same as walking at night in a gorgeous dress.
She didn't want to show off, but she'd like to tell her parents that she was living a good life now. It might reduce their guilt.
They went back by riding the horse, Honghong. So, it was faster than last time.
It only took them less than one hour to reach Daxing Village. The tall horse drew many people's attention.
People recognized Su Jiuyue and many of them greeted her along the way.
"Jiujiu is back."
"You must live a good life since you have such a great horse!"
...
Wu Xiyuan got off the horse first, and then he carried Su Jiuyue down the horse.
Someone was calling her as soon as she stood on the ground, "Jiujiu!"
Su Jiuyue turned around and was surprised, "Chunxi!"
Jiang Chunxi was her best friend when she was a child. Su Jiuyue was poor and she always had to dig wild vegetables in the mountain. Jiang Chunxi always helped her.
Moreover, Su Jiuyue was responsible to look after other kids. It was also Jiang Chunxi who helped her take care of them.
Jiang Chunxi was one year younger than her. She was twelve years old now and not engaged yet, exactly at the age free from worries.
Jiang Chunxi ran towards her excitedly and gave her a big hug.
"I haven't seen you for ages, and I miss you so much. It's said that you've got married? How can your parents let you get married since you are so young? How is it going after getting married?" she was still so frank that she didn't mind if Wu Xiyuan was there.
Su Jiuyue replied, "I miss you, too. I'm pretty good. They all treat me very well."
She then whispered in Chunxi's ear, "I'm living better than at my parents' home."
Jiang Chunxi laughed, "I see it. You look more beautiful than before and your skin looks very fair."
She also compared her height with Su Jiuyue while speaking, "You grow taller too. Your mother-in-law is nice to you but it's too far. I can't play with you any longer."
Su Jiuyue winked at her, "You can play with me if you marry a man living in that village."
Jiang Chunxi blushed when hearing it, and she hit her slightly with her fist.
"You've got married early and want me to marry, too. No, I won't. My home is the best place."
It was true. Jiang Chunxi had seven elder brothers including her cousins. She was the only girl in her family, so she was pampered by all of them. Therefore, she seldom suffered hardship..
Wu Xiyuan was standing beside them while they were speaking.
Jiang Chunxi noticed him after chatting with Su Jiuyue for a while, "Is this your husband?"
Su Jiuyue was a little embarrassed and lowered her head, "Yes."
Jiang Chunxi found he was tall, strong, and imposing. She was satisfied and nodded, "Great. He deserves you."
Su Jiuyue was the most beautiful girl that she had ever seen. Although her parents looked ordinary in appearance, she combined their merits and was good-looking.
"I think you will marry one of my brothers and become my sister-in-law. What a pity you don't marry one of them since you are so beautiful," Jiang Chunxi whispered to Su Jiuyue.
