In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

Su Zhizhi started to worry again. She always needed to bring a gift to attend a wedding banquet, but seeing how poor her family was, she couldn't even scrape together enough money for a gift.

Su Zhizhi knew she couldn't go empty-handed. What's more, the relationship between the village chief's family and hers was not very good. Su Zhizhi was a little embarrassed. If she didn't go today, the gift she carefully prepared for Su Zhonghuai would be useless.

Just when Su Zhizhi was struggling, the old lady walked in.

"Third brother, why are you still here? The wedding banquet is about to begin. If you are late, how do you want the village chief to look upon our Su family?" The old lady's critical look at Su Zhizhi made several people present feel dissatisfied.

Before Xie Chengjin could speak, Su Zhizhi stepped forward and said, "Look at what grandma said. Our family is poor, and we haven't figured out what to give to the village chief yet. And grandma just happened to be here. Can you give us some tips?"

The old lady snorted coldly, "If I wasn't afraid of offending the village chief, I wouldn't bother with you guys. Well, I have a pair of jade earrings here, just consider it a gift to the village chief. Just follow me."

After saying that, the old lady took the lead and walked ahead.

Su Zhizhi and the others looked at each other and hurriedly followed. They saved some money again. Su Zhizhi was secretly happy and didn't take the old lady's previous squeeze to heart.

Su Zhonghuai stayed at home for a long time, and it was not until today that he dared to leave the house. However, on the way from home to the village chief's house, Su Zhonghuai was always pointed at and talked about by people, including Li who was beside him.

The couple rushed to the village chief's house and ran into Su Zhizhi and her group at the door.

As soon as the two saw Su Zhizhi, they couldn't contain their anger.

"Su Zhizhi!" Li was the first to attack Su Zhizhi, "You little bitch!"

Before Su Zhizhi could say anything, Meng pulled Su Zhizhi behind her.

"Second sister-in-law, our Zhizhi is still a girl. It's not good for her reputation if you say that to her." Mrs. Meng was still gentle and her words were polite.

Su Zhonghuai just said "Pah, who the hell are you? You're a jinx, you killed my third brother, and you don't even have the right to speak here!"

Meng's face turned pale for a moment, and she was about to say something when Su Zhizhi stopped her.

"Did you hear any noise? Why do I hear dogs barking? And more than one. Where do all these wild dogs come from?"

Su Zhizhi started speaking in a sarcastic tone. Before Su Zhonghuai and his wife could say anything, Xie Chengjin continued, "Zhizhi, what you said is wrong. It was clearly Second Uncle and Second Aunt who just spoke. How can you call them dogs?"

"Oh, it's Second Uncle and Second Aunt. Look, my eyesight isn't working well enough, and I almost didn't see you two elders. Is Second Uncle okay?"

"I heard that Second Uncle is inhumane. I didn't expect Second Aunt and you to be so deeply in love. Even in this situation now, they don't want to abandon you." Su Zhizhi deliberately poked at the hearts of the two.

Xie Chengjin also continued Su Zhizhi's words, and the two of them sang the same tune, which made Su Zhonghuai and Li speechless. They were so angry that their faces turned red and they turned red.

"You, you, you... No wonder you are a fatherless person, you have absolutely no education at all." Li was so angry that she said viciously for a long time.

Su Zhizhi was about to open her mouth to refute when Xie Chengjin stepped forward. "Zhizhi's mother is still standing here. Her upbringing is none of your business. It's you, on the other hand, who may have parents but are obviously uneducated. Otherwise, how could you suffer retribution for not being able to have children and end up with no descendants?"

"Oh, by the way, it's not your fault, second aunt, it's... second uncle's fault!" Xie Chengjin said with a wicked smile.

Xie Chengjin spoke loudly on purpose. They were almost at the village chief's house. Some villagers from the surrounding area had also arrived one after another. When they heard there was some gossip to smell, they instinctively stretched their necks and pricked up their ears to listen. After all, in this remote countryside, listening to gossip was the only way to relieve boredom.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding villagers burst into laughter, and some even pointed at Li and Su Zhonghuai.

As a man, Su Zhonghuai naturally wanted to save face. He quickened his pace and prepared to leave first, but was pulled back by Li. The reason was simply that they did not prepare any gifts, so they had to rely on the old lady's "jade earrings" to sneak in.

The old lady who had witnessed the entire farce finally spoke. She banged her cane on the ground and said, "Are you still going? Shut up and be quiet. We're almost at the village chief's house. Don't embarrass me."

Perhaps the old lady was tired of their daily quarrels and rarely took sides.

Li was about to retort, but after seeing the old lady's expression, she swallowed it back. In the end, she had to pretend to be obedient and said, "Yes, mother."

But her slightly red eyes were particularly eye-catching. If you hadn't witnessed the whole process, you would definitely think that she had suffered a great injustice.

Su Zhizhi was speechless when she saw Li pretending to be pitiful, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: How disgusting, isn't this a real white lotus?

In this way, the family, each with their own ulterior motives, came to the village chief's house.

When the village head's wife saw the old lady, she remembered what happened that day and was naturally a little angry, but today was a big day for their family, so she hid her dissatisfaction in her heart and did not say it. On the surface, she still greeted the old lady very warmly.

"The old lady is here!"

The old lady nodded, and then handed the gift she had prepared to the village chief's wife.

Unexpectedly, the village chief's wife's face changed immediately when she saw the small box. She looked at the Su family members behind the old lady and found that everyone came empty-handed. The village chief's wife was immediately unhappy.

So many people came to the wedding banquet, and they only gave one gift? Wouldn't she be at a huge loss?

Thinking of this, the village head's wife decided to open the gift box on the spot. She wanted to see what kind of "priceless" treasure was inside. If the old lady dared to fool her with something worthless, she would scold her whole family in front of everyone.

Thinking of this, the village chief's wife opened the gift box without hesitation.

After seeing what was inside, the village chief's wife was stunned, because in the seemingly inconspicuous box, there was actually a pair of jade earrings lying quietly.

Although the village chief's family is relatively wealthy in the village, they save all their spare money for emergencies and would never buy gold, silver, jade, jewelry, etc., so when she saw this pair of jade earrings, she became extremely excited.
