Chapter 229: Chapter 229: The Old House
"Lanlan is right," Granny Su entered the room, heard the two’s conversation, and chuckled, "Even if you don’t drive them away, I, the old lady, would still shoo them off. They are just eyeing you now that you’ve made something of yourself, wanting to suck your blood. We don’t lack such relatives."
At this moment, with her grandson married, it’s time for them to enjoy their little life. She really didn’t want those annoying pests to disturb their days.
She still remembered the hurtful words Su Dazhuang and Su Wenmao had for Sun Lanlan when they first came knocking. Just for that, she would not easily let it go.
"If you feel like you’ve wronged Lanlan today, then treat her well from now on."
Finally, Granny Su said with a laugh.
"Granny, I don’t feel wronged at all today," on the contrary, she was very happy.
Sun Lanlan’s cheeks were flushed as she looked at Su Wensong, and although she didn’t finish her sentence, Su Wensong felt it.
Seeing the gaze between the two children growing tender, Granny Su hurriedly found an excuse to leave.
My, my, the young people these days, their affection is really strong.
In the room, Su Wensong raised his hand and gently caressed Sun Lanlan’s face. Whether it was the alcohol from the feast, he felt dizzy all over, looking at the girl before him as if she was haloed in light, so beautiful and graceful.
"Lanlan, you are really beautiful today."
Sun Lanlan’s face grew redder under his deep gaze.
Such straightforward praise left her even more at a loss.
She averted her gaze, about to find some excuse, when a strong hand clamped her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"I’m going to... mmm..."
She didn’t finish her sentence before it was cut off by the man.
Tender and passionate, soft and lingering.
Although they didn’t have many chances to be alone during this period, whenever there was one, the man would always find ways to take some advantage.
She had heard her girlfriends complain before that newly married men are trouble and to be wary of Su Wensong, calling him an old hand.
At that time, she didn’t quite understand what they meant.
Since that time he kissed her, clumsily and so fiercely it broke her lip, Su Wensong had unlocked something inside him, and he even pretentiously called it practice.
Indeed, each time she could feel the difference, from his roughness to his finesse, and the tenderness that came later.
She had to admit the man’s ability to learn, just as she had to recognize that saying of her girlfriends—when an old house catches fire, it burns uncontrollably.
Just like now, even though it wasn’t completely dark yet, the man had already made her lose herself.
In the beginning, Sun Lanlan still had some sense left, but gradually she could hardly stand.
Just when she secretly scorned herself for being so weak, she felt light as her body was lifted into the air.
"Old Su, it’s not dark yet, Granny is still outside..."
She reminded him urgently, her face flushed to an unseemly degree.
Su Wensong looked at her lush and tempting red lips, all his own handiwork, and his lips curved slightly.
He laid her down on the large bed, looking down and admiring the girl’s shy bashfulness.
"It’s already eight o’clock, and tonight is our wedding night. Spring nights are short, Granny will understand."
Granny understands, but I need to save face!!
Sun Lanlan grumbled in her mind, but had no choice as the man came on top of her again.
The buttons of her dress were undone one by one, revealing a spring scene, and the old house finally caught fire.
...............
When Li Hongmei got home, the place was bustling with activity; the eldest sister-in-law and elder brother were yelling about something.
During this time, since she’s been back, it’s always been this sister-in-law picking fights with her, but this was the first time she saw her arguing with elder brother.
She just grabbed a stool, sat under the big tree, munched on pears from the table, and watched the two argue fiercely, meanwhile calling over Li Dongmei to find out what was happening.
Actually, without asking, she had already heard bits and pieces; seems like her eldest sister-in-law suspected that her elder brother had a woman on the side.
Her elder brother could have a woman on the side?
Li Hongmei sneered inwardly; her sister-in-law must really be sick.
If her elder brother had that much capability, would he have still needed to marry a wife only well into his twenties?
When the Lin Family wanted to swap brides back then, they would’ve easily called off this marriage arrangement and wouldn’t have allowed them to be so picky.
Thinking of the Lin Family’s bride swapping incident darkened Li Hongmei’s eyes.
Then she raised her head and said loudly, "I’m saying, eldest sister-in-law, you really should change this paranoid habit of yours. Not to speak ill of you, but go out and ask around, what kind of person my brother is, a good and honest man popular for miles around. Talking like this could spoil his reputation."
Lin Jiayi was in the middle of her fury and, hearing Li Hongmei’s accusation, turned her head and glared angrily, "What do you know, prat! What honest man? I see no honest people in your family at all."
"Heh, I’m saying, eldest sister-in-law, if there are no honest people in our family, does that mean everyone in yours is? Honest people, yet they snatch away their sister’s marriage prospects, my, I’ve really seen it all now."
Lin Jiayi was instantly hit where it hurt, her eyes turning blood red, pointing at her own belly.
"Li Guangyuan, are you still a man or not? I’m carrying your son now, you’re heartless and let me down, and you even let them bully me like this. Do you want to drive me to death? If you really can’t tolerate me, I might as well be dead."
Originally, Li Hongmei, the troublemaker, would stir up discord in the house every day, and Li Guangyuan could say a few words to defend her.
But recently, no matter what Li Hongmei said, Li Guangyuan played the fool and turned a deaf ear, even using running a street stall as an excuse to leave for a whole day, abandoning her alone in this home uncared for.
Lin Jiayi had suspected that Li Guangyuan had someone else on the outside last time, and he had said it was just a scratch by accident.
Today, she actually saw teeth marks on his shoulder, and he didn’t even bother to explain, simply saying she could believe it or not.
How could she believe this?
In his previous life, he had come into power, and Lin Chuxia had followed him, living a life of luxury.
That shameless woman didn’t even give him a child, but wasn’t he still courteous to Lin Chuxia?
There was a time when rumors said he got together with his secretary to have a son. God knows how happy she was to hear this, and she even advised against her family stepping in to defend Lin Chuxia.
But in the end, Lin Chuxia remained Mrs. Li, the secretary was fired, and as for the child, there was none at all.
Why then, when it’s her turn, despite her dedicated planning, bearing him a son early on, was he finding women outside?
Lin Jiayi couldn’t understand, her good days hadn’t even started, so why treat her like this?
Li Hongmei, hearing her threat, just snorted coldly, "Eldest sister-in-law, there’s no need for the melodrama, always saying our Li family bullies you. How have we bullied you? Day in, day out you live in comfort, even managing my brother’s money. Go and ask around, which newlywed bride gets your kind of treatment, and what have you done for this family? Just being pregnant and acting like you’re a princess now, doesn’t everyone get pregnant and have children after marriage?" 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
With that, Li Hongmei changed the topic abruptly, "Oh right, guess what I saw in the county today?"
