Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool-Chapter 43: What Did Su Liyan Do in Her Past Life

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: What Did Su Liyan Do in Her Past Life

At that moment, Su Liyan couldn’t have been prouder.

She hugged her man tightly, her beautiful face tilting up slightly as she said:

"My man also bought lots of nice things for our family. They’re all on the carriage."

The two of them had taken another stroll around Taiping City in the morning before returning.

Lu Yuan had bought new clothes and such, as well as some cigarettes and alcohol.

Although it had pained Su Liyan to no end to watch him spend the money,

But now, she couldn’t help but show off.

’Whose son-in-law brings so many gifts when visiting his in-laws these days?’

’Only my man would do this because he dotes on me~’

Meanwhile, Su Liyan’s parents, her second and third uncles, and the surrounding villagers of Changliu Village were all dumbfounded.

Huh?

He bought even more?

After the large group made their way back into the courtyard,

Su Liyan was completely stunned.

All the things filling the courtyard...

There were even pigs and sheep tied up in the corner.

The stacks of wine jars, covered with red cloth, were piled higher than the walls.

A bewildered Su Liyan entered the courtyard and, with a look of utter astonishment, let go of her man’s arm.

She quickly walked into her parents’ room to take a look around.

It was also packed to the brim. The bolts of red cloth and other things were piled so high they nearly covered her parents’ bed.

’This...’

At the same time, Lu Yuan was calling for Lin Fusheng to unload the goods from the carriage.

Su Liyan’s mother, in turn, called for her son to hurry over and help.

Lu Yuan first took out twenty cartons of cigarettes from the carriage.

This made the eyes of many men in the village light up.

’Hot damn, those are Zhongtian brand cigarettes.’

’A single pack costs fifty Wen, and a carton of twenty packs is one tael of silver!’

Hiss...

’Twenty cartons...’

As the village men stared, dumbfounded, Lu Yuan separated several cartons from the pile.

He gave them to Second Uncle and Third Uncle.

His wife had told him that she had no bad relatives; all her family members were good people.

Especially her second uncle.

If it weren’t for his skills back then—being able to sneak some food from other people’s banquets—they wouldn’t have survived those years.

Both Second Uncle and Third Uncle were true-blue farmers, honest and simple.

When Lu Yuan suddenly handed them such fine cigarettes, neither of them dared to accept.

But Lu Yuan grinned and said:

"We’re all family, why be so polite?"

"Speaking of which, I should be thanking Second Uncle."

"I heard from Liyan that if it weren’t for Second Uncle’s help back then, you all wouldn’t have survived the famine years."

"I have to thank Second Uncle. Otherwise, where would I have found such a wonderful wife who brings me such good fortune?"

Su Liyan, who was just coming out of the room, heard this, and her heart melted.

In this day and age, the best compliment a woman could receive was that she brought her husband good fortune.

And the mother-in-law, standing to the side, found herself liking this son-in-law she had just met more and more.

’This son-in-law of mine is just too sweet-tongued, too smooth with his words.’

The villagers at the side felt the same way.

’No wonder he’s the young master of a rich family. He really knows how to talk.’

’Calling her a lucky charm for her husband and a wonderful wife...’

Second Uncle and Third Uncle gave simple, honest smiles, wiped their hands on their clothes, and accepted the gifts.

Lu Yuan gave the rest to his father-in-law in one go; they would need celebratory drinks and smokes for the banquet.

He could keep them at home and hand some out whenever neighbors dropped by.

The three Su brothers were all honest and reserved, not very good with words, so Su Liyan’s father ultimately accepted them.

As for the villagers who had followed them in to see the son-in-law, Lu Yuan took out a few loose packs of cigarettes and handed them out one by one.

Some couldn’t resist and lit up on the spot.

Others couldn’t bear to smoke them, so they just sniffed the aroma and tucked one behind their ear.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan brought out many more things from the carriage.

Winter was coming, so Lu Yuan had bought cotton-padded coats, pants, and shoes for the whole family.

In particular, knowing that Su Changliang could read and write, Lu Yuan had also prepared a set of ink and brushes for him.

They were all placed in an exquisite box, clearly valuable items at a glance.

As for his mother-in-law, Lu Yuan naturally hadn’t forgotten her.

"Mother, I heard from Liyan that you’re from outside the pass. It’s popular to wear mink over there in the winter, so I got one for you."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out a black cloak.

This wasn’t something he could buy; Lu Yuan had gotten it from Zhao Qiao’Er.

He heard from Zhao Qiao’Er that she had just bought it this year and hadn’t worn it yet, so it was new.

So Lu Yuan asked for it.

This had earned him a laughing scolding from Zhao Qiao’Er, who said that using her family’s nice things to curry favor with his mother-in-law truly made him her dear nephew.

When Su Liyan’s mother saw the black cloak, her eyes lit up.

Back outside the pass, this was something only an Official’s Wife or the matriarch of a great family could afford to wear.

She never imagined she would one day own one herself.

Su Liyan’s mother was absolutely thrilled with it.

The onlookers clicked their tongues in amazement.

Logically speaking, the Su Family’s son-in-law didn’t need to do all this.

After all, Su Liyan’s family wasn’t some great household, just an ordinary farming family.

To be honest, the fact that he was willing to come back and hold a banquet was already giving them a huge amount of face.

For a daughter from a farming family like this, once she was married off, that was that.

Forget a banquet; it would be considered pretty good if she could even come back once every two or three years to visit her parents and bring a few things.

But the Su Family’s son-in-law was not only holding a banquet but also providing all these gifts.

’This...’

’This means her husband’s family truly values Su Liyan. They hold this daughter-in-law in high regard; that’s the only reason they’d do this.’

’Is Su Liyan really that cherished by them?’

The crowd was puzzled.

After Lu Yuan finished distributing the gifts, Su Liyan came out of the house with a small stool.

She had her man sit down, then went to pour him some water.

Seeing this, the crowd couldn’t help but think to themselves that Su Liyan really knew how to take care of someone.

One of the village women couldn’t resist saying with a sly smile:

"Well now, Liyan is finally married off, another man’s wife now."

"She’s only thinking about her man. How come she didn’t get a stool for her own father?"

The people in the village always spoke with a bit of a jab, their words carrying a slight sting.

Fortunately, although Su Liyan’s father was an honest and reserved man, he immediately glared when he heard this and retorted:

"Hey, you! I’ve been sitting all morning. What’s wrong with me wanting to stand for a bit now?"

After he said that, the surrounding crowd burst into laughter, and the matter was dropped.

But soon enough, a woman in the village asked curiously:

"Son-in-law of the Su Family, what about your parents? What do they do?"

’Lu Yuan’s family is so well-off, yet he married a Half-Demon. Did Lu Yuan’s parents agree to it?’

’Are Su Liyan’s father-in-law and mother-in-law really that fond of this Half-Demon daughter-in-law?’

This wasn’t something difficult to talk about, so Lu Yuan immediately replied:

"My parents were trading goods in the south some years ago. They were ambushed by bandits and never came back."

"It’s just me at home now."

Hearing this, the women of the village looked at each other.

Hiss~~

’This son-in-law is handsome, a smooth talker, and rich...’

’And the most crucial part is... he has no father or mother?!!’

’So Su Liyan won’t have to serve a father-in-law and mother-in-law, and there won’t be any in-laws to boss her around?’

’She can just decide things with her husband, and that’s it?’

At that moment, the village women were practically dying of jealousy.

’What did Su Liyan do in her past life?!’

’How could she deserve to marry so well in this life?!!’
