Chapter 70: Jiaojiao is spoiled by the rough man
Chapter 270 Somewhat Unsatisfactory
After Su Wanwan finished speaking, her eldest brother Su Gao beside her obviously sighed, but he still couldn't change his sister's plan.
After all, many years ago, the brothers understood their position in the family. The more they listened to their younger sister, the better the family conditions would be. Gradually, they developed the habit of listening to Su Wanwan on almost all of her suggestions.
Although Xu Yan's words made the eldest brother Su Gao and the third brother Su Di feel uncomfortable and wanted to stand up for their younger sister, their younger sister herself said that it didn't matter, so they couldn't say anything else.
The first one to be given candy was Qinggui, the youngest one.
Qinggui took many different kinds of candies from Xu Yan, and filled every small pocket in her clothes.
"Okay, these candies are all yours." Until Qinggui's only two little hands were full of candies, Xu Yan turned around and gave the candies to another child.
"Say thank you." Jiang Shuzhen squatted down and gently reminded Qinggui who was about to turn around and run back.
"What are you saying thank you for? Go back to your room and have some candy!" Su Gao said with a stern face.
If it was a neighbor or someone else who came to the house to give these candies, then naturally the child would have to thank the other person. But the person who came was Xu Yan after all, the one who wanted to snatch his sister away, and it didn't seem like he wanted to take responsibility. In this case, asking the child to thank Xu Yan is just dreaming!
"Have you finished what you need to say?"
As Xu Yan distributed almost all the candies in the box, he watched the four children in the family, each of whom ran to the bedroom with their pockets full, while their mother Zhao Ying continued to ask questions with a cold face.
"Aunt, next week, after I finish expanding the factory, I plan to find an opportunity to go to the guesthouse in the county town and order a few tables of food. I will invite everyone in our village who can go to the county town for a meal."
When Su Wanwan was just wondering what the remaining candies in Xu Yan's box were, Xu Yan had already told her the final arrangements.
"Doesn't this still have the meaning of an engagement? Invite the whole village to witness it?" Su Wanwan replied heartlessly.
Zhao Ying also looked a little surprised.
In theory, engagement is just a small formality before marriage, usually inviting a few neighbors and close relatives to the house for a meal to witness the engagement of the newlyweds.
Some families who have the means will prepare rings and other things for the newlyweds, but the ceremony is very simple and usually not a big deal.
Xu Yan actually wanted to invite everyone in the village to a banquet at the county guesthouse. The ceremony was more grand than any other wedding in the village.
Zhao Ying was left at a loss for words.
"Of course it's not an engagement, it's just to prove our relationship." Xu Yan immediately replied, his voice gentle but firm: "I don't want the villagers to talk about you behind your back."
Su Wanwan suddenly felt her eyes sore, "How much will it cost?"
"Don't worry, I won't touch a single cent of the factory's profits. That money is used for expansion and operation."
Xu Yan’s answer made Su Wanwan very satisfied and felt safe.
As long as she doesn't spend the money she earns, everything is fine.
"I have saved some money over the years, which is more than enough to cover the expenses. You don't have to worry."
Xu Yan's gentleness made Su Wanwan nod without even thinking about it.
She doesn't have to spend any money, and she can have a nice meal at the guesthouse in the county town, letting the whole village witness her relationship with Xu Yan. This is simply too happy.
No more having to be... a bit sneaky in the future.
"Aunt, what do you think of my arrangement? This time I am just inviting the men, women and children of the village to go to the county to witness my relationship with Wanwan. We will plan for the engagement later."
"You still have some conscience." Zhao Ying pondered for a moment, and suddenly came up with an idea, "How about this, when you invite everyone in the village to dinner, you don't have to emphasize to them whether you are engaged or not, just let them know about your relationship with Wanwan."
What Zhao Ying meant was naturally that he wanted to give the villagers the illusion that Su Wanwan and Xu Yan were engaged. This would not only let everyone know about the relationship between Su Wanwan and Xu Yan, allowing the banquet to go smoothly, but also ensure that Su Wanwan's reputation in the village would not be harmed in any way.
Anyway, Su Wanwan and Xu Yan are still young, only eighteen or nineteen years old, so it won’t be too late to talk about engagement and marriage in the next few years.
The matter was settled. While Xu Lan and Xu Mei breathed a sigh of relief, Su Wanwan also breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy Xu Yan is really... he didn't tell her anything in advance.
She was on her way home just now, and she thought the Xu family had something important to ask the Su family for help. How could she have expected that the whole family would come to confess their love to her?
How could anyone confess that they came with their whole family...
"Mom, just go out and see them off. You stay in the house."
Although she agreed to all of Xu Yan's arrangements, mother Zhao Ying's expression was still somewhat unsatisfactory.
Su Wanwan didn't want to make her angry anymore, so after watching Xu Lan, Xu Mei and Xu Yan, who were walking at the end, leave, she just lay down on the recliner next to her.
"Wait, who are the remaining things in this box for?"
As soon as he lay down, Su Wanwan immediately jumped up from the recliner and chased to the door with the box in hand.
Xu Yan, who was walking in the yard, turned around and said, "Of course it's for my Wanwan."
“Yeah?” As if the sumptuous meal she had just had at Xu’s house wasn’t enough, Xu Yan actually had a gift for her?
When Su Wanwan walked back to the house carrying the box, the first thing she saw was the white scarf that belonged to Xu Lan.
Did Xu Yan also give her this scarf...
"Auntie, auntie, look at what kind of candy is in the box!"
The little guys who were given a lot of candy were extremely happy. They gathered around Su Wanwan, stretching their heads.
"What are you looking at! Didn't I just distribute all the candy to you?" Su Di scolded.
Although he was scolding the child, his criticism was clearly directed at Su Wanwan.
"Hey, third brother, don't be so fierce." Su Wanwan said as she opened the largest package of candy in the box and found that it contained the candy figure that Xu Yan had brought her last time!
"Wow, this looks like a turtle!" Wan Ling, who had no less than ten pieces of candy in his hand, pointed at the candy figure that Su Wanwan had just taken apart with slurred words.
"It seems so..." After staring at the turtle-shaped sugar figure in her hand for two seconds, Su Wanwan narrowed her eyes.
Did Xu Yan do it on purpose?
"Aunt, can I have a taste?" Qinggui's little mouth was stuffed with candies, and her words were even more vague than Wanling's.
"Alright, alright. Just now, you Xu Yan... Uncle Xu Yan has distributed so much candy to each of you. Children can't eat too much candy. Hurry up and give me all the candy in your pockets. I will save it for you and you can eat it slowly."
Jiang Shuzhen walked back to the bedroom at some point, found an empty box from the cupboard, opened the lid and put it on the table.
"don't want……"
When the little ones saw this, they covered their pockets tightly and tried to hide outside.
