Chapter 70
70 Face Slapping (1)
Madam Huang did as she said and really came to the door with a couplet that had just been written.
Just as Wei Ting had said, the weather was cold and the ink was drying slowly. Madam Huang did not want to get herself covered in it. She got Tiedan and the other child to hold them with both hands.
The ink was still wet when they came over.
Chen Haoyuan’s first verse was “Flying Snow Welcomes the New Spring”, and the second verse was “Firecrackers Welcomes the New Year”.
Other than the two children holding the couplet, there were also many villagers who were there to watch the show.
Madam Huang was here to avenge her previous humiliation. She couldn’t wait for more people to witness the tables being turned!
Madam Zhou, who was next door to the Su family, also came to join in the fun.
Madam Zhou wanted to watch the world burn. Before Madam Huang could speak, she shouted, “Fatty Su! Come out quickly! Your aunt has sent you a couplet!”
The villagers surrounded the entrance of the Su family. Those who didn’t know better would think that Fat La.s.s Su was holding another happy occasion.
Su Xiaoxiao slowly walked out with a half-eaten corn cob. Her gaze swept across everyone and landed on Madam Zhou’s high cheekbones. She said, “So my aunt gave me a couplet. Why are you so excited? Is it for you? Or do you want to wait for me to reject it so you can claim them for yourself?”
“You!” Madam Zhou’s thoughts were exposed and she immediately felt embarra.s.sed.
The person in the village who loved to stir up trouble was Madam Zhou. If it weren’t for the fact that Madam Zhou couldn’t provoke Su Xiaoxiao’s family of three tyrants, she might have made things up about Su Xiaoxiao.
Of course, it was not that she did not do so, but she did not dare to go too far.
Su Xiaoxiao had an extremely bad impression of this person, so she wouldn’t show her any mercy.
Madam Zhou was speechless. She was really useless.
Fortunately, Madam Huang did not expect Madam Zhou to help her. She had come prepared. It was enough to crush this girl alone!
She looked at Su Xiaoxiao and sighed. “Yaya, Aunt knows that what you said just now was all in spite. How can you write any couplets? If you knew how to write, you would have taken it out and pasted it.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head secretly.
She thought that these people were bad at tea and talk. Compared to Madam Li, they were all trash.
Madam Li was a real figure in the business world. But Su Xiaoxiao had enough on her to confront these people.
“What if I can produce them?” Su Xiaoxiao didn’t waste her breath on Madam Huang and went straight to the point. “Does what Aunt said just now still count?”
Madam Huang sneered. “Heh, of course, it counts! If you can write it! I’ll chop off my head!”
Didn’t she understand the Su family?
Other than knowing the banknotes, they could not read anything else! Write couplets? In their next life!
“Sure.” Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said to Su Ergou, who had returned with the water, “Bring out the machete.”
“Alright!”
Su Ergou put down the bucket and quickly brought over a butcher knife. “Sister, I can’t find the machete. Is the butcher knife okay?”
Everyone was shocked!
Madam Huang’s face turned pale. “Su Daya! Do you want to kill someone?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No, Aunt wanted to cut off her head herself. I was afraid that you wouldn’t have a knife, so I prepared it for you.”
Madam Huang said coldly, “Su Daya! Let’s talk about the couplet now! What nonsense!”
“Ergou,” Su Xiaoxiao said. “Go to your brother-in-law’s room and get the couplet.”
Does my brother-in-law have a couplet in his room?
Su Ergou went in and out of Wei Ting’s room with a dumbfounded expression. The couplet was hanging on his arms.
Everyone was shocked. No way? The Su family really wrote the couplet?
“Impossible!” Madam Huang refused to believe that the Su family could write a couplet. They even wrote... She couldn’t read, but she could count.
This couplet clearly had more words than her son’s.
Madam Huang screamed, “You... you bought them in town, right? That’s right! That must be it! I saw you going to town this morning! You must have gone to buy them!”
Su Xiaoxiao tapped the couplet with her chubby finger. “Open your eyes and see clearly! The ink hasn’t even dried!”
The villagers went forward to admire.
“You’re not allowed to touch it!” Su Ergou said fiercely.
Everyone hurriedly retracted their fingers.
They saw it clearly. The ink was wet and emitted a rich ink fragrance. It was obvious that it had just been written.
Moreover, because they were close, they made a new discovery.
Little Su’s couplet paper... seemed to be of a better color compared to Scholar Chen’s!
It was also thicker!
