Chương 18: Spend However Much He Want to Marry a Wife

The men in the production team weren't the best bunch, and when they saw Su Xiaoxiao, who was so beautiful, how could they not entertain some improper thoughts in private? Just thinking about it was unacceptable!

Unable to control the softness in his palm, Jiang Yexun suddenly felt fortunate. Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao had given him the opportunity to claim her as his own. Otherwise, he dared not imagine what he might do while constantly gazing at such an enticing girl.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Xiaoxiao noticed Jiang Yexun's emotional fluctuations and asked curiously.

However, Jiang Yexun let go of her hand and straightened her up a bit. "You should go back and rest now."

"I want to go with you to get my clothes," Su Xiaoxiao said, her face blushing with shyness.

"No," Jiang Yexun frowned and refused. "You are my girlfriend now. If I let you work when you're not feeling well, am I still a man?"

"But you can't wash all my clothes, especially the ones I wear close to my body!" Su Xiaoxiao blurted out anxiously.

Jiang Yexun was taken aback for a moment and then realized what she meant. His ears turned bright red. Su Xiaoxiao leaned forward to see his embarrassed expression, a mischievous smile on her face.

"Are you happy?" Jiang Yexun pinched her upturned nose in retaliation and playfully jiggled it.

Su Xiaoxiao's smile became even less concealed. "So, do you still want to help me wash clothes?"

He smirked. "Of course, why not? From now on, I'll be washing even you and all your clothes. A few more underwear is nothing"

Su Xiaoxiao's head buzzed, and her whole body froze in place. She stared at him in disbelief. When she saw the wicked smile on his face, she couldn't contain her embarrassment and kicked his shin.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? You'll find out once you marry me," Jiang Yexun retorted, clenching his teeth and pressing down the desire to tease her further. His eyes shone with an astonishing fire, like a hungry wolf in the dark night.

"Wait for it," Su Xiaoxiao pushed him away and rushed back into the educated youth dormitory in a hurry.

Jiang Yexun squinted as he watched her disappear from his sight. Then he lowered his head, feeling rather helpless with himself. He couldn't help but think that the days ahead were going to be even more difficult.

Just as he was lost in thought, Su Xiaoxiao came running back with a patter of footsteps. When their eyes met, both of them were rendered speechless. All they could hear was the pounding of their own hearts.

"Once you're done washing, don't hang the clothes inside the house," Su Xiaoxiao said with a serious expression, her small face stern.

"I got it," Jiang Yexun thought she was being overly delicate. But when he thought about the clothes she was wearing inside, he had an urge to blind anyone who dared to look at them.

"When I'm done washing, I'll dry them on the stove for you, ensuring they're perfectly flat," he said, emphasizing each word.

"Suit yourself. I'm going to take a nap," Su Xiaoxiao replied disdainfully, then turned and ran back. As long as the clothes weren't clean yet, she wouldn't be able to take them back. As long as no one else saw them, this man could do whatever he pleased.

As Jiang Yexun carried the basket back, he first picked a couple of sweet potatoes from the kitchen and added two coarse-grain steamed buns. With some water, he solved his lunch for the day.

When he came out, he saw his two sisters-in-law standing there like door gods, waiting for him. As soon as they saw him, they hurriedly approached and asked, "Are you really going to marry Educated Youth Su?"

"My mother will arrange a matchmaker to propose tomorrow," Jiang Yexun didn't intend to hide this matter from them.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yuezhen exploded, "What's so good about that Educated Youth Su? She can't carry anything heavy and can't do any work. After a day's work on the farm, her face turns as white as a ghost..."

"She’s perfectly fine, even when you die," Jiang Yexun coldly interrupted her.

His sharp tone made Hu Yuezhen shrink back like she had been scalded. Jiang Yexun's second sister-in-law tried to mediate from the side.

"Third young brother, although your sister-in-law's words are harsh, she's saying this for your own good. Look at the lunch you prepared for Educated Youth Su. Did she even offer you a single bite? You had to come back to eat those coarse buns."

"Does it have anything to do with you whether I eat or not?" Jiang Yexun looked at Yu Siping, feeling even more disgusted.

Both of the Jiang family's sisters-in-law were at a loss for words. But when they saw Jiang Yexun heading back to his room, Hu Yuezhen hurriedly stopped him.

"You want to marry Educated Youth Su, but will she accept it? The dowry in the village is at most twenty yuan. Educated Youth Su spends more than that in a month, doesn't she?"

"It's none of my business how other people marry. Why do you care about me?" Jiang Yexun suppressed his impatience and retorted.

This made Hu Yuezhen feel like she had been stepped on the tail and she screamed, "Third young brother, what do you mean? Are you planning to give Educated Youth Su a larger dowry? When your second sister-in-law and I married in your Jiang family, we each got twenty yuan. If you give Educated Youth Su more than us, how would others think of us?"

"Get lost!" Jiang Yexun had a headache from the nagging and tried to leave, but his father walked out of the house.

Holding a cigarette in his hand, he stood there looking at his son disapprovingly. "If you want to marry Educated Youth Su, I have no objection. But you can't mess things up and make our family look bad."

His eldest brother chimed in, "That's right! If you give too much dowry, how will the villagers see your two sisters-in-law?"

“I’m using my own money. Who gives you the right to meddle in my own business?” Jiang Yexun glanced at the coldy.

"I'm your father, so I have the right," Team Leader Jiang said sternly.

Aunt Guo rushed out of the house and pulled Jiang Yexun behind her.

"Jiang Guoli, don't scold my son. Back when your two sons were getting married, everyone else in the village was asking for ten or twelve yuan of dowry, but they insisted on taking twenty from our family. How come you didn't make a fuss back then?

Your two sons are spineless and can't bear to spend more money on marrying a wife; that's their business. If your two daughters-in-law feel embarrassed and want to complain, they should talk to their own husbands. My son has potential; he can go up the mountain for hunting and make money. He's willing to spend more on marrying a wife, and it has nothing to do with you.

Moreover, even though they each took twenty yuan from our family to get married, my son has the right to do the same. If you say another word, you might as well not consider yourself my son's father anymore."

She glared at Team Leader Jiang with a fierce expression, as if she was ready to confront him.

The previously haughty Team Leader Jiang, while still wrinkling his brow, didn't dare to utter a single word.

Both the father and sons remained silent, intimidated.

While Hu Yuezhen was still desperately pulling her husband, she got slapped on the face.

"Enough, stop making a scene! Educated Youth Su is from the city, she's wealthy. What are you compared to her?" He said in a resentful and angry tone.

Jiang Yexun, on the other hand, snorted in disdain, mocking, "Eldest brother, you really have a knack for causing trouble! You can’t make money and are unwilling to spend money on your wife. Instead of pondering to your own problems, you're throwing the blame on my future wife? I like Educated Youth Su, so I'm willing to spend however much it takes to marry her."

He spoke more than usual, tearing apart the dignity of his eldest brother.

The eldest brother of the Jiang trembled with anger but didn't dare to act out.

Jiang Yexun couldn't be bothered to argue with them further and returned to his room, fetching a basin from the bed where Su Xiaoxiao's dirty clothes were placed. He also found a new piece of soap from the nearby cabinet.

He sat down on a small stool by the basin, poured water into it, and then dipped his hands in. However, when he touched the pile of clothes, his entire body felt like it was on fire, with his blood boiling and surging.

His mind seemed to have completely detached from his hands, and he didn't know what he was doing.
