Chapter 337: Waiting for the ‘Return of the Bride’
Since Wen Ruhua was dragged into the bridal chamber like a pig that was about to be slaughtered, Ning Shu really didn’t know what the situation in the bridal chamber would end up like.
Ning Shu felt that He Xiaohua should take it easy a little. After all, Wen Ruhua still had a hole in his stomach.
After eating at the banquet feast, Ning Shu prepared to head back to the thatch house.
“Little beauty.” He Dahua jumped down from a slight slope and feigned elegance as he flipped open his fan and fanned himself with it. “Little beauty, since Wen Ruhua has already gotten married to my younger sister, isn’t it about time for us to get married as well? We’re practically a match made in heaven, we’re even closer than kin.”
Ning Shu only had one word for him. “Scram.”
“Little beauty, don’t be like this. Since my sister has gotten married, my old man’s going to be focusing on me now. My days are going to be filled with suffering.” He Dahua ran to catch up with Ning Shu. “Could it be that a man like me isn’t good enough for you?”
Ning Shu looked at him. “Scram further away.”
He Dahua rubbed his nose. “Can’t you be a little more tactful? Fortunately, my chest is very broad, otherwise I would’ve been hurt by that.”
Ning Shu could tell that He Dahua wasn’t actually serious, so she said in a disdainful tone, “What if you encounter a lady that actually took your words seriously? I’d like to see what you’d do then.”
He Dahua fanned himself and laughed heartily. “That would be pretty good. If someone got serious, I’ll immediately marry her. Aren’t I just spreading my net here?”
Ning Shu: Scram to hell.
Ning Shu planned to leave this place now that Wen Ruhua has found his happiness. In the future, he’d probably be fighting with He Xiaohua on the bed a lot and then they’d have a whole nest of kids. He no longer had much to do with her.
“That’s right, fix up that crappy thatch hut a little. In three days, my younger sister will bring Wen Ruhua back to visit his maternal family. This place and you are close enough to count as Wen Ruhua’s maternal family. Tsk tsk, I’ve wanted to tear down that thatch hut for a long time. It’s seriously unsightly,” said He Dahua.
Ning Shu: …
Bring Wen Ruhua back to visit his maternal family!?
Ning Shu glanced at He Dahua. “If you insult my cousin that way, he’ll definitely try to kill you.”
“Scholars take a hundred years to revolt. I don’t even need to do anything to him, my sister’s strong enough to teach him obedience,” said He Dahua in a contempt-filled tone.
“Since you look down on my cousin so much, why did you agree to this marriage?” Ning Shu was confused.
He Dahua replied, “The first reason is because He Xiaohua seriously likes him a lot. And secondly, you see, my old man actually does respect scholars quite a lot. He wants a grandchild that knows how to read in his family.”
Oh, so it turns out that Wen Ruhua was just serving as a borrowed tool.
Originally, Ning Shu was going to leave, but since Wen Ruhua was going to make a visit back to his maternal family, she felt that there was no way she could miss such a seldomly seen event.
So she quietly waited for the ritual ‘return of the bride.’
