Chapter 435: Treating Guests to a Meal

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A man like Zhou Hengyang was few and far between – someone worth keeping. Zhou Hengyang’s steadfast personality attracted women to him like moths to a flame.

Su Wen did not know what to say to Cao Meihua. Didn’t women pounce on him because of his looks?

Cao Meihua smiled ambiguously. She spoke as if she knew something that Su Wen did not, making it sound like Su Wen was too young to understand what she was trying to say. A man’s looks and how he carried himself were important, but that was just the tip of the iceberg to women from respectable families. How reliable a man was was also important. Good men were pillars of support in a family, men their spouses could rely on throughout their married lives.

A man like Zhou Hengyang would never betray those he held dear so long as he was treated the same.

Su Wen suddenly realized what was going on. Using her knowledge of the novel she had read, she gained a deeper understanding of what Cao Meihua was trying to tell her and could not help but feel impressed.

Her words made sense. Cao Meihua was right in that regard.

Appearance and temperament were important, but the most attractive thing was Zhou Hengyang’s reliability, tenacity, and open-mindedness. Although he was a live-in son-in-law, he did wear it like a badge of shame.

“That’s true. We all know you’ve been busy of late with relatives visiting. You must be exhausted!” A faceless passerby interjected considerately.

“Well, yes, but everyone chipped in.” Su Wen was proud of her family, but she could not allow herself to get a big head just because of what they had accomplished recently. Building a rapport with relatives and friends was also important. Knowing this, she had asked Zhou Hengyang to help her deal with it.

Not everyone treated them favorably, however. Su Xueqiang and Su Xuewu fell into that category, and Su Wen reciprocated by treating them as if they did not exist. She did the same to her grandparents. It had gotten to a point where the word in the village was that Su Wen no longer acknowledged them as relatives or elders.

They called Su Wen a scoundrel who had grown arrogant with her immediate family’s recent success.

Such was the general sentiment in the village and would have damaged Su Wen’s reputation if not for the halo cast by Fifth Sister’s acceptance into university. Overnight, Fifth Sister and the rest, by extension, had become celebrities.

Su Wen could not be bothered by the malicious words spread about her, especially since she knew it was her grandparents, Su Xuewu and Su Xueqiang, feeding the rumor mill. Dealing with them was beneath her. Besides, Fifth

Sister’s success guaranteed they would lay low for now. As for the villagers, Su Wen planned to buy some hard fruit candy to be distributed to her fellow villagers as a token of her appreciation. This she would deliver by hand, going from door to door.

In so doing, Su Wen hoped to sway public opinion in her favor.

“Little Wen, if you have nothing to do, ask Fifth Sister to go for a walk around the village; don’t let her coup herself at home all day!”

“That’s right! We want to see this young phoenix of a woman for ourselves.”

As the crowd chattered away, a pair of eyes landed on Sun Yunyun and Zhu Yueju. The voice cried out, “Eh? Is that you, Yunyun? I haven’t seen you in a while. Weren’t you pregnant and resting at home?”

Perhaps she had gone too far with her final comment.

Su Wen spun around, trying to see who had spoken to express her admiration. It turned out to be Chen Guihua, who had appeared out of nowhere.

Chen Guihua had been spying on her competitor for some time, and it had been torturous not being able to eat as she usually did. It would not do to get angry, however. Sister Chrysanthemum’s business flourished in a way hers had not, and Chen Guihua wanted to know why.

Earlier, when she saw Su Wen coming, she hid in the tall grass.

Chen Guihua felt guilty! She was jealous of Su Wen in the past, but that had transformed into guilt as of late. She feared Su Wen would take revenge and make things difficult for her.

Upon seeing Sun Yunyun and Zhu Yueju together, Chen Guihua rushed up to them spiritedly. She pointed an accusing finger at the duo and derided them.. “Humph, you slut! How do you have the courage to walk about on the streets? What? Wasn’t that old bachelor good enough for you, or are you looking for someone else to satisfy your needs?”
