Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 59 Celebration
When Chun'e saw such a big bottle of scar removal cream, which cost two taels of silver, she didn't dare to accept it.

The two of them pushed and refused each other, but Zhang Zhaodi stuffed the scar removal cream into Chun'e's arms and said with a stern face, "We really want to make friends with you, do you look down on us?"

Chun'e was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Auntie, you really hit the snake at its weakest point. You hit me wherever I'm afraid. Since auntie and sister are so enthusiastic, I will shamelessly accept it."

Su Yaoguang taught Chun'e how to match a few sets of clothes and taught her some matching tips. Seeing that the time was almost up and she would have to stay for lunch if she didn't leave now, she said goodbye.

As the mother and daughter left the clothing store, they saw a young man wearing the academy's uniform approaching. As the young man approached, Zhang Zhaodi was the first to notice him.

"My daughter, it's Wangshu."

Su Yaoguang looked up and saw Zhou Wangshu.

"Why are you here?" Su Yaoguang asked.

Zhou Wangshu said gently, "There's a market today, so I came to see if you've entered the city. It's lunchtime now, and I've asked my teacher for leave. I'll be back for class this afternoon."

Su Yaoguang looked at Zhou Wangshu's new outfit. "It looks quite smart on him. How are you doing in the academy? Are the people there easy to get along with?"

"My daughter, it's time for lunch now. Let's find a place to sit and talk!" Zhang Zhaodi reminded.

"Yes, we made a lot of money today, so let's not save it. Now that we're all here, let's go to a big restaurant and have a good meal." Su Yaoguang pointed to the tallest house.

"It doesn't have to be that expensive, does it?" Zhang Zhaodi said reluctantly. "I heard they say buns there are ten coins each, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables is twenty coins."

"Mom, I just want to ask you if you are happy today?" Su Yaoguang asked while hugging Zhang Zhaodi's arm.

"Of course I'm happy!" Zhang Zhaodi beamed. "I've never been happier than today."

"Since it's such a happy day, shouldn't we celebrate properly?" Su Yaoguang said, "If Wangshu wasn't here, we could wait a little longer, but now Wangshu is here, and everyone in our family is here."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You are the head of our family now." Zhang Zhaodi touched Su Yaoguang's hair, her eyes full of pride.

Zhong Lanhua constantly boasted about her educated son, and when they argued, she'd always accuse her of having no descendants and no one to rely on. She really wanted to smash her head in with the silver in the box, so she'd open her eyes and take a good look. Wasn't her daughter a hundred times better than her worthless son? And her daughter, though pretty, so what? She was always so timid, as if she were about to die. It was infuriating just to look at her.

Su Yaoguang and Jiang Jing held hands and said that he would order a roast duck that Jiang Jing liked to try later.

Zhou Wangshu's gaze stayed on Jiang Jing.

Su Yaoguang then remembered that she hadn't introduced Jiang Jing yet. Another purpose of going to the city today was to bring Jiang Jing to Zhou Wangshu and let him know about the new family member.

"Wangshu, this is my sister Jiang Jing. Jiang Jing, this is my...husband Zhou Wangshu." Su Yaoguang glanced at Zhang Zhaodi next to her and swallowed the word "brother".

Although Su Yaoguang introduced them in this way, Jiang Jing already knew the past experiences of the Su family mother and daughter, and also heard from Su Yaoguang about the agreement between her and Zhou Wangshu.

When Jiang Jing heard about Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu, she felt even more that this sister was too kind, too innocent, and too trusting. Just look at what she did. She brought people of unknown origin home one after another, and even provided them with good food and drink. She was practically a living Bodhisattva.

Zhou Wangshu looked at Jiang Jing and smiled harmlessly, "While I was away, there was actually one more person in the house. It's really lively."

"Before, it was just me and my mother, but now with you two family members, our home is getting more and more lively." Su Yaoguang hugged Jiang Jing's arm and said, "Wangshu, Jiang Jing is my best sister. You two should get along well in the future."

Zhou Wangshu curled her lips. They'd only known each other for a few days, and yet they were already so close? Did she know where the other person came from? Did she understand the other person's personality?
Fool.

"Yaoguang's sisters are my sisters, so of course we will get along well." Zhou Wangshu looked at Jiang Jing with a smile.

Jiang Jing: “…”

I don't know why, but I always feel cold all over.

Although Zhou Wangshu was smiling, she wanted to stay away from him.

They entered the restaurant and as soon as they sat down, the waiter came over with the menu to take their order.

Su Yaoguang looked at the menu. There were not only words but also pictures on it, which made it convenient for illiterate people to immediately order their favorite dishes.

Su Yaoguang handed the menu to Zhang Zhaodi to order.

Zhang Zhaodi looked at the pattern above and pointed to a lotus root porridge.

"Mom, we're here to eat something delicious. Lotus root porridge is easy to make. I can make it for you when I get home." Su Yaoguang said, "How about I have some?"

Zhang Zhaodi also knew that her daughter wanted to have a good time today. She had always been frugal and reluctant to spend too much money, so ordering food was a torture for her.

She couldn't spoil everyone's fun anymore, so the best thing to do was to say nothing and just eat whatever her daughter ordered.

Su Yaoguang ordered two dishes that Zhang Zhaodi liked, and the roast duck that Jiang Jing liked, and then handed the menu to Zhou Wangshu and asked him to order one as well.

Zhou Wangshu took it and ordered a beggar's chicken.

"Last time, Yaoguang said she wanted to eat beggar's chicken, so of course we have to make it today."

Su Yaoguang felt a little touched.

She had just said it casually last time, but Zhou Wangshu had actually remembered it. It was such a good feeling to be cared for and valued by someone. It made her whole body and mind enveloped in happiness and warmth.

"Brother Xiao, the picture of the God of Longevity you painted this time is really great. Mr. Zhang praised your painting skills highly and said he would like to pay you a high price to paint another picture of pine and crane."

Several scholars walked in, one of whom was Xiao Yanci, the person Su Yaoguang least wanted to see.

Xiao Yanci was surrounded by them. Seeing how attentive they were to him, one could imagine how glorious Xiao Yanci's life had been recently.

Xiao Yanci also saw Su Yaoguang's family.

His gaze rested on Zhou Wangshu, and a mocking look flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Xiao, you are so handsome, how could you end up in such a remote place?" one of the students asked, "Did something happen to your family?"

Xiao Yanci didn't dare claim to be the descendant of a criminal. Given his status, he should be a slave in the Frozen Land. Even though he was a slave now, at least those country folk were easy to fool. If he truly became a slave to the armored men, he would live in fear of death every day, and those people would be even less easily fooled.
