Chapter 211: Chapter 212: Marriage Deception

Grandma Xu’s eyes were filled with smiles as she watched the beef brought by her son disappear into her mouth, savoring the taste. The beef was tender and delicious, and with a touch of sesame sauce, it was simply sublime.

Grandma Xu, who was usually stern-faced, displayed a hint of astonishment after eating the hot pot, her face lighting up with surprise, “This hot pot is really good, don’t just stand there, hurry up and eat.”

Seeing Grandma Xu so eager to eat, it was clear the hot pot must be incredibly delicious.

Everyone, afraid they wouldn’t get enough, quickly took their seats.

“Those who can handle spicy, come to this side; those who can’t, go to that side,” Xu Ying directed, pointing at the pot.

The Xu Family could mostly handle spicy food, except for the children.

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu approached the spicy side, but Xu Ying quickly intervened, “Grandpa, Grandma, this is a special mushroom and chicken broth I made for the two of you, it’s very nourishing for the elderly.”

“Yeah, Mom and Dad, you’re getting older and shouldn’t eat something so spicy, it’s bad for both your stomach and your body,” Third Uncle Xu chimed in.

After speaking, he slurped a piece of beef into his mouth, spicy and delicious, truly satisfying.

Grandma Xu became stubborn, her face full of defiance, “Why can’t we eat it? A little bit won’t hurt.”

Even if their grandkids were capable, it wasn’t right to overstep and control the elders too much.

Grandpa Xu, shameless, moved right next to his third son and squeezed in, “Why can’t we eat spicy food?”

“Grandpa, Grandma, try this non-spicy one, it’s delicious too,” Xu Ying said, her eyes reddening, “Grandpa and Grandma, you are both old now, eating spicy food can easily cause internal heat, and it also irritates the stomach and harm the intestines.

Just look at Third Uncle, he’s just got a bit of ability and is looking forward to taking care of you. If anything happened to you, Third Uncle would be devastated. Also, I’m planning to take you to live in the city.

If something happens to you, what will us youngsters do? You are the pillars of our family, without you, what will become of us?”

Mr. Xu looked at his daughter and added, “Right, Mom and Dad, you should eat less of the spicy things. You know how good Yingying’s cooking is, the mushroom one is tasty too.”

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu knew that the younger generations cared about them, and finally, they nodded in resignation.

They moved over to the side with the mushroom broth.

Once the whole family sat down, Mr. and Mrs. Xu couldn’t help themselves and started to reach for the dishes. The third son had been eating already, but the two hadn’t started yet.

A piece of duck intestine hit the mouth, spicy and crunchy, with the rich flavor of duck meat that was irresistibly good.

“Ha—spicy!” Xu Shengshun’s tears started flowing from the spiciness.

Second Aunt Xu finally noticed her son sitting beside her and quickly pushed him to the next table, “Go sit with your grandma.”

Xu Shengshun looked around, his face full of terror, “Fire, burned to death, fire, someone’s burned, medicine, there’s medicine.”

Second Aunt Xu looked at her son with a serious face and asked, “Who told you this?”

Although her son was brain-damaged and simple-minded, he was usually obedient and never spoke nonsense. He would never bring up topics like death at all.

Xu Shengshun’s eyes were filled with fear, “No, can’t say, will get Shengshun beaten.”

Xu Ying’s face turned awkward as she walked over to Xu Shengshun and comforted him with a smile, “Cousin, it’s ok, our family is all here, even if bad people come, we’ll chase them away.”

Grandpa Xu spoke up, “Shengshun, don’t be scared. Look how many people we have in our family. If a bad person comes, we’ll all join forces and definitely beat them.

No one can threaten you, just say who that person is.”

Xu Shengshun shook his head and then nodded, “Someone outside said they put medicine in the sister’s home, said sister is bad, we have too many fish.”

After hearing this, Mr. Xu’s expression turned grim. Too many fish, that had to be from Li Family Village. He couldn’t believe the people from Li Family Village could be so despicable and shameless.

Last year, when they caught so many fish, no one in their village said a word.

This year, when the fish have become scarce, they start thinking about underhanded tricks.

Mr. Xu slammed the table in anger, “Not a single person from Li Family Village is decent. Luckily, I didn’t lose my head this afternoon and give them any fish.”

“Such selfish people, I will never go easy on them from now on.”

“Dad,” Xu Ying cautioned, “according to what my cousin said, these people might take action tonight.”

Mr. Xu nodded, “First we’ll have dinner. After we finish, I’ll take your eldest brother and second brother to keep watch. I want to see what they try to do.”

“If we catch them, we’ll send them straight to the police.”

“Really?” Xu Ying asked, wary that her father might soften if those people started crying and wailing about their hardships at home.

Mr. Xu stood up straight—did his daughter not trust him?

“Really!”

Xu Ying smiled, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating the hot pot.

On a cold winter’s day, eating a pot of hot pot could warm you up from the inside out.

“Yingying, when are you going to make hot pot again next time? It’s so delicious!” Xu Jingjing patted her round belly and let out a satisfied burp.

Second Aunt Xu shot her daughter a look, “Look at you—how unladylike! You’re of marriageable age, and you still don’t care about your image.”

Third Aunt Xu also appeared curious, “Wasn’t it said that Jin Jing’s marriage had been settled?”

Second Aunt Xu shook her head, “Settled? It’s just idle talk. They only met once, and that guy is no good either.”

Thinking about how that man tried to take advantage of her best friend last time, Second Aunt Xu felt a surge of anger.

“Second Aunt, was the matchmaker last time surnamed Sun?” Xu Ying’s eyes gleamed; she remembered that the matchmaker for her cousin was the Sun matchmaker.

“Right, all the marriages in the surrounding ten miles were arranged by that Sun matchmaker. But she’s no good,” Second Aunt Xu said as she sneaked a glance at Third Aunt Xu.

Seeing a situation in the making, Xu Ying leaned in closer.

Mrs. Xu looked at the two women with a hint of disdain.

Second Aunt Xu then started to spill, “Your Third Uncle Xu’s marriage was arranged by Sun matchmaker. At first, she praised your Third Uncle Xu as if he were a flower.”

“That’s why your Third Aunt Xu married into the family. Although her family isn’t great either, living here is still much better than her time at her parents’ home.”

Xu Ying nodded understandingly; so this Sun matchmaker was a professional con artist.

“However, your Third Uncle Xu has turned over a new leaf now, and your Third Aunt Xu’s days ahead should be better,” Second Aunt Xu had just finished speaking.

Having eaten his fill, Third Uncle Xu pulled out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to Grandma Xu, “Mom, take this to buy some food for the New Year.”

“This is the clean money that your son has earned these past few days.”

Grandma Xu, who was originally glaring in anger, thinking her son had gone gambling again, was ready to scold him.

However, upon hearing her son’s words, her eyes instantly welled up, but the tough old lady accepted the money, feeling a warm glow inside.

“One yuan is enough for me, give the rest to your wife to buy some New Year’s goods.”

Grandpa Xu, seeing the money in his old partner’s hand, widened his eyes, “How much did you earn out there?”
