“Pah, who do you think you are, you think you toads can eat swan meat?” Luo Yuzhu, upon hearing the Li Family matriarch’s words, felt like spitting blood.

“Let’s have everyone here judge this matter, this bracelet has been passed down through three generations in our family, it was to be given to the fourth-generation bride as a wedding gift.

Now that the bracelet is broken, there’s no gift for the future bride, shouldn’t she compensate me with a bride?” The Li Family matriarch clung to Luo Yuzhu’s thigh, turning to the crowd.

“Li old lady, this Su Xiaofeng is already two months pregnant, if you marry her off, your son will become a happy father instantly, isn’t that a bride well worth it?” Hu Xiulan said with a smile.

A look of shock crossed the Li Family matriarch’s face, “Pregnant?”

That rogue just now seemed to have said something about Su Xiaofeng carrying his child.

“Yes, Xiaofeng’s belly is two months along.”

The Li Family matriarch’s face changed, and she cursed out loud, “So she’s second-hand goods, pah, second-hand goods, what do I marry her home for, to worship her as an ancestor?

That’s a family heirloom bracelet, worth at least twenty thousand on the market, you’ve broken my bracelet, pay up.”

Without twenty thousand, she wasn’t leaving today.

Su Xiaofeng dusted off the dust from her sleeves, appearing as if the matter didn’t concern her and looking down from her high position, “If you want compensation, go to her, I have no money.”

Su Xiaofeng pointed at Luo Yuzhu, after all, it wasn’t her who broke the bracelet.

Even if she were to act shamelessly, she couldn’t take the blame.

Villagers: “….”

Is there such a thing as sabotaging one’s mother?

Luo Yuzhu grew even more furious, “Su Xiaofeng, you are your mother, watch how you speak.”

Su Xiaofeng shrugged her shoulders and smiled, “I’m a bit tired, you all discuss amongst yourselves, I’m going back to sleep.” It was early in the morning and all this commotion had already worn her out.

Having said that, she went back to her room as if nobody else was there.

“You compensate me, you compensate me.” The Li old lady immediately started wailing, “That’s my ancestral bracelet, without twenty thousand, I won’t let this go.

If I don’t get the compensation today, I’ll just kill myself on your legs.”

“You old hag, do you think I’m easy to bully?

I’m telling you, at most I’ll give you five hundred, not a penny more.” Luo Yuzhu felt like she was about to explode in anger.

Su Xiaofeng that damned girl, biting the hand that feeds her.

“Luo Yuzhu, aren’t you rich?

What’s it to you to give her some money, just consider it charity to the poor,” a villager from the crowd jeered.

Luo Yuzhu had married into a wealthy family from the county years ago, and this was no secret.

Moreover, she had never once come back to see Su Xiaofeng over the years, and the people of Lihua Village truly despised Luo Yuzhu from the bottom of their hearts.

“Right, Luo Yuzhu, since you broke the dowry gift meant for the bride, it’s a minor matter to compensate them, give them something.”

Seeing everyone squeezing Luo Yuzhu, He Ximei took Su Peng into the house.

She didn’t want to watch Luo Yuzhu’s spectacle, seeing her son covered in bruises, her heart ached unbearably.

She found some camellia oil and applied it on the bruised spots on Su Peng.

Outside, there was hardly anyone from Xiangcha Village speaking up for Luo Yuzhu.

Watching this unfold, the Li Family matriarch wailed even louder, almost as if she really would kill herself on Luo Yuzhu’s legs if she didn’t get the money.

Driven to her wits’ end by the wailing, Luo Yuzhu gritted her teeth, “One thousand at most, take it or leave it.”

Today she must be down on her luck, having encountered a rascal.

“At least two thousand.”

“Do you think I’m a bank?” she had just given Xiaofeng twenty thousand, and now she didn’t even have a thousand left in her purse.

“I don’t care, if you don’t pay, I’ll just go back to the county with you and live off you,” the Li Family matriarch was really not an easy opponent.

“You old wretch, do you think I’ve been scared into submission?

You think you’re dealing with a sick cat, do you?” She threw a thousand from her bag, “Take it or leave it.

If you’re capable, go ask those rogues for the money.”

Li Family’s old lady released Luo Yuzhu’s thigh and began to pick up the money, “One thousand it is, and next time I see you, I’ll ask for more.”

Luo Yuzhu glared at her and noticed the villagers were all laughing at her, while that girl Su Xiaofeng had already gone back to her room to sleep and even bolted the door.

The defeated Luo Yuzhu clenched her teeth and left.

That damn girl, siding with outsiders against her own mother, just wait till she gets back to Lin Family and see if I don’t teach her a lesson.

Feeling indignant, she patted the dust off her clothes and left in a somewhat disheveled state.

The villagers watched Luo Yuzhu leave and then dispersed with a racket.

Su Xiaofeng lay in bed, listening to the noise outside, and took a deep breath, “Finally, those people have gone.”

My mind is really a mess, I, who am pregnant, am being fought over for marriage by three families.

I’ve realized I’m actually quite in demand.

The fool of Li Family, a hooligan rogue, a sickly weakling.

All of them are the worst of the worst, and I’ve had the misfortune of encountering them all.

Since they’ve come, I must deal with them one by one.

Li Family, knowing that I am pregnant, should have lost any interest in me by now.

Closing my eyes, I spoke to Xiaoqi, “Xiaoqi, is it a boy or a girl in my belly?”

The lazy voice of Xiaoqi came through, “Master, it’s too early to see whether it is a boy or a girl, ask me again after a month.”

Su Xiaofeng: “….”

Forget it, I will just wait and ask again after a month.

Actually, I couldn’t sleep, so after lying down for a while, I got up again.

I leaned against the door, watching He Ximei help Su Peng apply camellia oil, and yawned lightly, “It was you who called the Li Family here.”

He Ximei’s hand paused, then responded, “I had the matchmaker speak to them before, saying I was thinking of swapping marriages with their family.”

Su Xiaofeng let out a cold laugh, “So you had the idea of me getting married in exchange all along.”

“You and your dad can’t have another child, Pengzi is your dad’s biological son, your real elder brother.

There’s nothing wrong with you helping him find a marriage in return,” He Ximei didn’t think there was anything wrong with her idea.

Su Xiaofeng’s voice was quite cold, “My elder brother not being able to find a wife is your and dad’s business, what does it have to do with me.

Let me put it plainly, if my brother really can’t find a wife, my dad can just marry me off to a man who will move in with us, can’t he?”

He Ximei looked up, somewhat surprised at Su Xiaofeng’s words, thinking to herself that this damn girl really dares to say anything.

“If you don’t agree, I’ll drop the idea,” He Ximei huffed.

“It’s not about dropping the idea, it’s about completely giving up on it.

I will decide my own marriage matters.” Su Xiaofeng stood with one hand in her pocket, leaning against the door frame assertively, making He Ximei secretly think about when this damn girl became so imposing.

“Okay, okay, I’ve given up on it,” He Ximei said while looking at Su Peng’s shoulder, which had a large gash, and was bleeding: “Pengzi, what happened to your shoulder, why are you bleeding?”

“I got stabbed by someone during a fight,” Su Peng chuckled.

“And you still laugh,” He Ximei was frantically worried, “Xiaofeng, go call Doctor Cheng over.”

After thinking for a moment, she decided against it, “Never mind, I’ll go myself.

You grab some gauze and press it onto Pengzi’s wound.”

Damn those evil cutthroats.

Su Xiaofeng nodded, took a piece of gauze, and pressed it on Su Peng’s wound to stop the bleeding.

Su Peng noticed Su Xiaofeng’s actions and turned his head towards her, giving her a cheeky grin.
