Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 1249: Chapter 1194: Selfish Motives (Part 4)

This makes it increasingly difficult to find another wife for their son.

Unexpectedly, after several years, Fang Su suddenly visited to discuss their children’s marriage, which surprised Hu Dongting and his wife.

Even more surprising, the matter was quickly settled, and preparations for the children were made before the year’s end.

But today, rumors spread that the stepdaughter of the Feng family, namely Fang Su’s daughter, seemed unwilling to proceed with the marriage.

Upon hearing the rumors, Sun E naturally felt worried and quite angry.

”Are you blaming our Xiaochuan?”

Sun E glared at Hu Dongting, saying irritably, ”Don’t start with that talk of taking care of Xiaochuan for a lifetime. With our health, we could die in another twenty years at best. What will Xiaochuan do then?”

”I’m ten years older than you.”

”Yes, I’m younger by ten years, but who can guarantee I’ll live longer than you? Anyway, I don’t care; since Fang Su agreed to marry her daughter to our Xiaochuan, I won’t allow her to backtrack!

But if that girl can give us a son or a daughter, I don’t mind if she divorces Xiaochuan.”

In essence, Sun E just wanted a tool to bear a child for their son.

She knew better than anyone that no woman would willingly marry a fool and live a good life with a fool.

Knowing this, she would not tether her son to anyone for life. Once they have a grandson or granddaughter, the couple can raise the child and have a future support for their son.

”...”

Hu Dongting was silent for a while and then said, ”Let’s just pretend we don’t know anything and wait until the twenty-eighth to bring her home. However, when the new bride comes in, you must keep an eye on Xiaochuan, lest he unexpectedly harms her.”

”Don’t worry, I’ll watch Xiaochuan.”

She knew that as long as her son didn’t have an episode, he wouldn’t hurt anyone.

”If I can hold a grandchild next year, I would finally feel at ease!”

Hu Dongting sighed.

In response, Sun E agreed, ”I feel the same. By the way, when you get promoted, Old Feng will fill your current position, right?”

Hu Dongting: ”That’s uncertain.”

Sun E: ”Remember to put in a good word — that’s part of Fang Su’s conditions for marrying her daughter into our family.”

”I won’t forget.”

Hu Dongting responded and then said, ”That condition is probably Fang Su’s own idea.”

”It doesn’t matter whose idea it is, just do it. Whether Old Feng fills your position isn’t our concern anyway.”

”Mm.”

Before long, on the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, Xu Chunxia entered the Hu family crying, escorted from the Feng family. The day before, with the female heads of the Fang and Sun families taking charge, the marriage certificates for their children were obtained through their connections.

This meant Xu Chunxia and Hu Chuan became legally married.

It was New Year’s Eve.

Luo Yanqing had a two-day holiday, naturally returning home to spend the New Year with family. But without his wife by his side, Luo Yanqing’s enthusiasm for the celebration was dampened.

”Alright, your sister-in-law is helping Mom in the kitchen. You, Little Wu, and Yangyang shouldn’t just stand here!” Cai Xiufen shooed Luo Yanqing, Kang Guoan, and Kang Yiyang out of the kitchen: ”Go sit in the living room with your dad and brother, we really don’t need your help here!”

”Old Feng, you...”

Fang Su looked at Old Master Feng: ”Why are you so angry with me?”

In the living room, Old Master Feng glared at Fang Su: ”How dare you pretend not to know? Just who were you cursing earlier?”

”I...” Remembering what she had just said, Fang Su became uneasy: ”I just said it off the cuff. Don’t blow it out of proportion and accuse me of cursing someone. Besides, everyone eventually dies. What’s wrong with me saying it?”

The more she talked, the more Fang Su felt she wasn’t in the wrong. She looked back at Xu Chunxia: ”Tell me, on the twenty-eighth, will you marry or not?”

”I will! I’ll marry!”

Xu Chunxia agreed through tears, then ran upstairs.

If she didn’t marry, where could she go?

At least the Hu family had money and power. If she was cautious and avoided any harm from that fool, wouldn’t life go smoothly?

Moreover, she had found out that the Hu family’s son had become a fool due to a fever in childhood, not because of congenital issues.

Looking ahead, if she...if she got pregnant, the child should be okay.

In this way, she would have future security.

Yes, even though Xu Chunxia already knew Fang Su likely mistook her as a daughter, she still did not plan to leave the lap of luxury and return to her former life of hardship.

Because starvation was truly unpleasant, not to mention she loved wearing beautiful clothes, shopping, eating delicious food, living with ease and comfort every day.

In other words, it’s easy to go from frugality to luxury but hard to go back from luxury to frugality.

Xu Chunxia grew up in hardship and finally enjoyed a wealthy life. She was unwilling to return to the days of lack of food and clothing and live toiling away under the sun!

”Enough talking!” Sun E, Hu Dongting’s wife, interrupted her husband’s words: ”Xiaochuan’s previous wife died in an accident — she fell and hit her head on the table edge, not because Xiaochuan directly...”

Hu Dongting interrupted his wife: ”Would she have fallen if she wasn’t trying to avoid Xiaochuan’s fists?” Hu Dongting’s current wife, Sun E, was his second wife.

Many years ago, Hu Dongting and his first wife shared common ideals, crossing grasslands and climbing snowy mountains, and together they had a son and daughter. Unexpectedly, their daughter died shortly after birth, and their son sacrificed himself on the battlefield at eighteen.

During this time, Hu Dongting’s first wife also passed away; more precisely, she died when their son was only ten years old.

After being single for years, Hu Dongting eventually came together with his second wife, Sun E, but she struggled to conceive. It was not until a year before the founding of the nation that she gave birth to their son, Hu Chuan.

However, both were too busy with work and left their son in a nanny’s care, unaware it would lead to an issue.

Seeing their initially smart son become a fool due to a severe fever broke their hearts. But regardless of the pain, nothing could be done. The couple painstakingly raised their son.

And they even arranged a wife for him.

To their dismay, the daughter-in-law died less than two years after joining the family. Despite trying to keep the matter quiet, it spread among acquaintances.

This makes it increasingly difficult to find another wife for their son.

Unexpectedly, after several years, Fang Su suddenly visited to discuss their children’s marriage, which surprised Hu Dongting and his wife.

Even more surprising, the matter was quickly settled, and preparations for the children were made before the year’s end.

But today, rumors spread that the stepdaughter of the Feng family, namely Fang Su’s daughter, seemed unwilling to proceed with the marriage.

Upon hearing the rumors, Sun E naturally felt worried and quite angry.

”Are you blaming our Xiaochuan?”
