Chapter 739: Chapter 737: Dispensing with Formalities
Although Su Wanting was not as pretty as Su Wanyu, she was still considered above average among ordinary folks.
With the refined air that came from years of being a teacher, one glance would reveal she was a cultured person.
As soon as Zhang Guihua heard the villagers’ questions, she quickly patted Jiang Changhai’s back, urging him to stop.
Once the bicycle came to a halt, Zhang Guihua jumped off, straightened her back, and proudly proclaimed, “Those folks are my eldest son’s wife’s family from the big city, Haicheng. The one sitting behind Wanyu is a teacher at Haicheng No. 1 Middle School.”
“What? They’re Su Wanyu’s relatives? Then why didn’t anyone from their family come over when she got married?”
“Yeah, we haven’t heard anything about them over the years, have we?” the villagers responded in surprise and curiosity.
Zhang Guihua glared at the person who asked and retorted, “Isn’t that because Haicheng is too far from here? It’s not easy to make the trip. Besides, if we hadn’t stayed in touch, how could you know? Have you been eavesdropping under my window?”
Jiang Changhai saw that Su Wanyu and the others were nearly home and urged, “Mom, we can chat later, let’s get home quickly, Uncle and the others are about to arrive.”
“All right, I’ll tell you more about it tomorrow, now scatter, scatter.” Zhang Guihua hopped back on the bicycle, and Jiang Changhai hurriedly pedaled faster to catch up.
It took Jiang Changhai several hard pushes on the pedals to catch up with the group ahead.
When they arrived at the Jiang family home, Sun Lixia was busy working in the yard. Seeing so many people coming, she hurriedly greeted them warmly, “Mom, big brother, you’re back. These must be my sister-in-law’s family, right? They truly look different from us, just like city folks.”
Sun Lixia had heard about Su Wanyu’s family from the old lady before, so seeing these people come back with the eldest and his family, she guessed their identities.
“Mm, hello, we are Wanyu’s Uncle, and this is her Aunt,” said Big Uncle Su politely, nodding to Sun Lixia as he introduced himself.
Upon seeing so many visitors, Jiang Dashan hurried out of the house too: “Brother Su, sister-in-law, niece, welcome, please, come inside.”
“Brother Jiang, thanks for looking after Wanyu all these years. There were some issues before that kept us from visiting, please don’t take it to heart,” said Big Uncle Su with a warm smile.
“Hey, little brother, you’re being too formal. We are close relatives after all, no need for such formalities, come on, let’s talk inside,” responded Jiang Dashan enthusiastically, pulling Big Uncle Su by the arm and leading him to the main room.
After the Su family and Jiang Changhai entered the house, Sun Lixia quickly followed them in a bustle.
Once in the main room, Big Uncle Su and his wife handed over their gifts to Jiang Dashan: “Old brother, this is a little something from us, please accept it.”
“Hey, little brother, you’re being too polite. It’s enough that you came, why buy all this stuff?” Jiang Dashan said as he looked at the high-end gifts they brought, feeling that the Su family was being too courteous.
Zhang Guihua had been eyeing these presents the whole way, and with a beaming smile, she took the items and said, “Indeed, Brother Su, you’ve really gone overboard. You mustn’t do this the next time you visit.”
Sun Lixia had noticed these gifts a while ago. It seemed the Su family was indeed wealthy, bringing over so many nice things just for a visit.
