Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man

Hearing Xu Lan's gentle voice, Zhao Ying just snorted lightly and didn't continue speaking, obviously giving Xu Yan time to continue speaking.

"I want to wait until the factory is bigger and I can make more money, so that more people can benefit from my and Wanwan's factory, and even expand the factory to more places. If there is an opportunity, I will directly run it as a business in the future. By then, more people will pay attention to us, and I can also give Wanwan better conditions."

At Xu Lan's urging, the originally silent Xu Yan suddenly pursed his lips and walked in front of Zhao Ying.

"I feel that if I get engaged to Wanwan now, only a few people in the village will know about it, and I can't afford to make a high-end dress for her. It would be too unfair to Wanwan."

For some reason, seeing Xu Yan speaking so seriously for the first time, Su Wanwan suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet hall.

Zhao Ying turned his head towards her immediately, with a serious look on his face, which made Su Wanwan hold back the second half of her laughter.

Although she didn't know how much money Xu Yan made now, based on her observations over the past six months, Xu Yan was still too modest when he said he couldn't afford to order a high-end dress. He probably just made up an excuse to cover up what he had just said.

After Xu Yan finished speaking, Su Wanwan's laughter quickly stopped. Zhao Ying didn't know how to respond for a moment, and just continued to stare seriously at Xu Yan who was standing sincerely in front of her.

Xu Lan and Xu Mei, who were standing by, saw that the atmosphere had eased a little, so they took the initiative to walk forward.

"Alas, Auntie, you know that my father is still living in the county town. He has to take injections and medicine every day, and the hospital ward also costs money. Although the third brother has always said that we don't need to worry about it, you and the village chief know what our family conditions are... Of course, we will never treat Wanwan badly because of this, but I think what the third brother said makes sense."

Originally, Zhao Ying's expression had shown some signs of thawing, but Xu Mei's careless words froze her face again. She looked coldly at Xu Mei's hurried tone and snorted.

"I know your old man needs money for hospitalization, but this is only the first day you came to our Su family, and you are already thinking about your old man, and not about our Wanwan at all. Wanwan has just become the partner of your third son, and you are holding her like this. When she marries into your family in the future, won't she be bullied by you?"

Su Wanwan admitted that she had never thought of this before her mother Zhao Ying said this. But after Zhao Ying finished speaking, Su Wanwan thought about what her mother said and felt a chill down her spine.

She could understand what Xu Yan said just now, but it was too inappropriate for Xu Mei to say that. Although she would definitely not live with Xu Mei, Xu Lan and Old Man Xu in the future, Xu Yan's two sisters were also traditional villagers and would be married one after another in the near future. But when Xu Mei said this, her intentions really made people speculate.

"I think your Xu family is not sincere about our Wanwan at all. You just think that Wanwan has always been close to your third child and will unconditionally agree to your little thing, so you come to our house without caring about anything."

Su Gao, who had been listening, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

After he said the first two sentences, Jiang Shuzhen tried to pull at the corner of his clothes, but Su Gao became more and more excited as he spoke, and did not notice that his wife was pulling him. He walked towards Su Wanwan while talking and grabbed the wrist of Su Wanwan's left hand, which she didn't know where to put.

"Also, don't think that your third child is great just because he can make some filthy money. Our Wanwan doesn't even think highly of your third child's abilities. Maybe if they want to be together in the future, they'll have to rely on our Wanwan!"

Hearing elder brother Su Gao speak to her so decisively at the critical moment, Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart, especially the last sentence, which made her like it very much. However, Su Wanwan still used her other hand to quietly pat elder brother Su Gao's hand that was holding her wrist——

"Brother, my wrist hurts."

Noticing that he was too excited just now and had not grasped Su Wanwan's hand too hard, Su Gao quickly let go of his hand that was subconsciously tightly grasping Su Wanwan's wrist. Sure enough, he saw a red mark on her slender wrist, which was still getting darker.

"Oh, Wanwan, look at me..."

Su Wanwan giggled, shook her head, flicked her wrist nonchalantly, and looked at her mother Zhao Ying like a rogue.

"Mom, you just heard Xu Yan's explanation. I think there's nothing wrong with what he said. We have just confirmed our relationship. Even if we were dating like you did in the past, wouldn't we have to date for a while before talking about engagement? Why are you so anxious? Anyway, I know Xu Yan's feelings now, and we understand his family's situation, so don't force him like this."

Su Wanwan was pushing her elbow outward in almost every word, and the more Zhao Ying listened, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Does this girl have any sense of reason? How could she be as stupid as a pig now when she is usually so smart? She is clearly selling herself out...

"Aunt, I went to the county a few days ago to buy things needed for the factory. I also brought some candy for the children at home. They are all here."

While no one was talking, Xu Yan quickly turned around and walked to the place where he had just entered the room. He picked up the box he had just brought in from the ground and simply removed the packaging on the box.

Su Wanwan, who was standing next to her, stretched her neck and saw that the box was indeed filled with candy.

In addition to the hard candies that can be seen when going to the movies in town, Xu Yan also brought back some other candies with very strange packaging. One of them had a bulging package. Su Wanwan was guessing what kind of candy was inside when Xu Yan suddenly picked up the candy, tore open the package, and handed the pink and white inside to Qinggui who was running over.

It was the first time the little guy saw it, and he pinched the soft candy several times with his little hands.

"You can eat it." Xu Yan reminded, and took another one and handed it to the introverted Qinghe.

"Didn't you say your family is poor? Why did you buy so much candy?"

Although mother Zhao Ying's tone was frighteningly cold, she did not reach out to stop Xu Yan from distributing candy to the four children in the family.

Xu Mei, who was standing next to her, was still anxious when she heard Zhao Ying's tone, but Xu Lan had already taken everything into account and quietly patted Xu Mei on the back.

"Anyway, considering the current scale of the factory, it can definitely be expanded. Wasn't I interviewed by a publicity reporter from the county some time ago? If our factory does well in the village, maybe there will be opportunities to expand outward in the future. Mom, don't worry. I know who Xu Yan is and I believe in him."
