332 Unimportant
“Speaking of her family, there’s something that I find very strange. Why isn’t anyone from her family here? Almost everyone has come to make a scene because our family became rich. However, her parents never came once. Aren’t they the money-grubbing type of family? I heard that they won’t care about someone if they don’t have money. If it wasn’t for everyone saying that she’s a good person, I wouldn’t have agreed for Sanfu to marry her.”
Xue Erfu realized this and said, “I’ve been busy with Wufu every day. If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten what kind of person Xicui’s parents are like. It is quite strange.”
Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, and Yu Hongyan all nodded in agreement.
“It is strange, but isn’t it a good thing?” Xue Dafu said, “Otherwise, we would have to go through all the trouble again. Is that what you’re hoping for?”
“Best not to mention anything about it.” Liu Guixia agreed. After a pause, Liu Guixia could not help but say, “When we first decided on Xicui and Sanfu, wasn’t it because we heard that Xicui was a good girl? As long as she is good, we can put aside what kind of people her parents are.”
Xue Sifu didn’t say anything to his mother and the others. Instead, he glanced at Sanfu before squatting between Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. He whispered to them while the rest took another bite of their food.
“I think it’s strange too.
“Logically speaking, tigers can’t change their stripes. Xicui’s parents really are that kind of people, but they didn’t even come once. Are they looking down on our family’s fortune? Don’t you guys think it’s a little weird?”
“It’s possible,” Xue Yan said. In fact, he wanted to directly say yes. In his previous life, because Lin Xicui became a concubine, the rich family gave Lin Xicui’s parents a lot of silver, making her the richest family in the surrounding villages.
Jiang Yue looked at Sifu and said with certainty after she saw Xue Yan’s minor hesitation.
“Yes.”
First, she agreed it was weird too after she heard what they were like. The second reason was that Xue Yan was slower by half a beat, which made her more sure of this. He was reborn, so he must know about this, which was why he was acting strange again.
Seeing Jiang Yue’s firm answer and Xue Yan’s agreement, Xue Sifu put his bowl down. He touched his chin and muttered, “But how can their family be richer than ours? They don’t look like people who have a lot of money and don’t show it off, plus I’ve never heard anyone say that they’re rich…”
After pondering for a long time, he still couldn’t figure out why, so Xue Sifu stopped thinking and started to accept the whole situation. No matter what, no news was considered good news too.
Seeing that Sifu had returned and was out of ear shot, Xue Yan leaned over and whispered to Jiang Yue, “Lin Xicui is going to be a concubine of a rich family in town. Her family will receive a lot of silver when that happens. She will probably come to our house tomorrow to cancel the engagement, just like how she did last time.”
She had answered so firmly just now, and he thought that his slow response was probably one of the reasons she didn’t hesitate. That was why he had told her without her asking.
It was a tacit understanding between the two children.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows subconsciously and nodded after listening in.
That night, when Xue Yan was sleeping, he dreamed of an arrow being shot at him in his previous life. Sanfu shouted at Xue Yan and pushed him away. In the end, the arrow struck Sanfu. Xue Yan was so scared that he immediately woke up and opened his eyes, his head full of cold sweat.
