Chapter 1319: Hard to Satisfy
Su Ningxiu was held back by her little sister.
Watching her younger sister shake her head at her.
She thought about it and had to admit that what her sister said made sense.
Indeed, it wasn’t worth getting angry over such a woman, and her elder brother hadn’t married that woman yet. That woman still wasn’t Su Ningxiu’s sister-in-law!
There was no need to be angry over someone who was irrelevant.
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Su Ningxiu no longer intended to confront that woman. Meanwhile, Xiao Yu stood under a tree talking to a man, oblivious to the fact that Su Ningxiu and Su Yunjin were watching her from not far away.
The man she was talking to had grown up with Xiao Yu in the same village. They had been childhood sweethearts, the man had feelings for Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu also fancied the man.
However, the man’s parents were not very fond of Xiao Yu, thinking she came from a poor family and not born of the man’s mother, they didn’t want their son to marry her. Xiao Yu had several times suggested to the man to come to her family to propose, but he always found various excuses to refuse. The man was the only son at home and was usually spoiled and lazy. In the past, a portion of the family’s earnings was given to him to squander on eating, drinking, and merrymaking.
Over the years, the man’s parents aged and earned less, so besides household expenses, they had no extra money to give to their son. Luckily for him, Xiao Yu had a liking for him, so he tried asking her for money several times and got it every time. This led the man to form a habit of frequently asking Xiao Yu for silver.
The silver Xiao Yu had was all saved through frugality, by doing embroidery work and selling the few fish she would catch, allowing her to make a few dozen copper coins each month.
All this money Xiao Yu gave willingly to the man without shorting him a single coin. But the man, accustomed to his indulgent lifestyle, found that little money was not even enough for a meal and was surely not enough to satisfy him. Xiao Yu didn’t want to give him money, but when the man threatened to leave her if she didn’t, she was so fond of him that she immediately started scraping together funds for him.
