Not being filial was the best thing, people could complain together, but if the life of the Xu family was in full swing, and there was no benefit for themself, then there would be trouble.

Liu Xianglan Xu also saw that the folks were watching the excitement, and she was dumb to eat huang lian, no matter how bitter it was, she had to swallow it. She didn’t want to talk about it anymore.

That's it, the life was more peaceful, and soon came the day when the Fei's family was doing business in April, and the Fei's family was also very lively that day, and all the villagers wanted to go to Fei's house to get some glory from the talented scholar.

Xu's family was getting married today, and there were many more people than when Xu He's getting married. It was obvious that there were three  tables in the family.

Xu He and Zhang Fangyuan didn't go to Xu's house to help in the morning, but went straight to the city to set up a stall, and came back in the afternoon. When they returned to the village, the auspicious time hadn’t arrived yet. Xu Shaochun was still at home, so Zhang Fangyuan still went back home with Xu He.

Liu Xianglan didn't want to see the couple come to see off the relatives because of the disadvantages she had suffered before, and she didn't say hello when they came, but the relatives of the Xu family watched Zhang Fangyuan set up a stall in the city, and recently bought livestock in the village. They thought of saying something that was almost polite. When the time came, they wanted to sell livestock, so they could find someone. For buying and selling meat, it was more convenient to have an acquaintance.

Seeing the enthusiasm of relatives and friends towards Zhang Fangyuan, Liu Xianglan, who originally wanted to let the couple feel neglected, felt bored again.

Not long after, people from Fei's family came to the door and all people dispersed from Zhang Fangyuan. When Xu Shaochun was led by Liu Xianglan to go out, she was covered with a mandarin duck embroidered veil, and her wedding dress was also uniquely embroidered.

The Fei family didn't have a horse, so they borrowed one from somewhere. Fei Lian was obviously used to studying and couldn't ride a horse, and when he came while riding the horse, his face suddenly looked pale, but now he was even paler with sweat.

But no matter what, the two of them were dressed in wedding attire, even if they were in embarrassment, they could still feel right.

The gongs and drums sounded, and then brought the bride back.

Zhang Fangyuan saw that Xu Shaochun's dowry was quite a lot, carrying seven or eight boxes to Fei's house, all of them were the same size as when Xu He was married.

Zhang Fangyuan saw it, pulled Xu He, and left after dinner.

"They are all biological. How could your parents be so partial? Although it’s difficult for a family with many childrens to be balanced, let's say about my father's generation. There are six brothers and sisters. When my grandparents were alive they love sixth uncle the most, but they never treated other childrens too badly."

The weather in April was getting warmer, and the seedlings planted in the field were also swaying in the night wind, giving off the smell of spring. Xu He walked in front of Zhang Fangyuan. He lowered his head and glanced at his toes. There was a faint shadow under the moonlight. Even if they didn't light the torch, they could vaguely see the way home.

"Whoever said it’s biological."

Zhang Fangyuan saw that Xu He suddenly turned his hands behind his back to answer his words, thinking that he was joking, stepped forward and took his hand: "Don't be angry. I didn't mean it."

"I'm telling the truth, and some relatives in the family know about it, but the folks in the village don't know about it. I was brought back by my father in the snow when I was a child. The border was full of war in that year. There was a famine in the Central Plains, many people died of starvation, and families who bought and sold their daughters were everywhere."

Zhang Fangyuan was puzzled: "If it was brought back, how could the villagers not know?"

"More than ten years ago, my father and mother worked as shopkeepers outside. They traveled from south to north. They were outside for several years. At that time, they already had second sister. I heard vaguely that my father met a bad person and hurt his body when he was selling goods outside. He could no longer have children. Later, the couple decided to go back to the village to settle down and live. Maybe they met me who was abandoned on the way back. Thinking that they wouldn’t be able to have children, they picked me up and raised me. The villagers should think that I was born by my parents."

No wonder!

Zhang Fangyuan suddenly realized, and seeing Xu He's calm words, as if he knew these things a long time ago, he couldn't help but felt distressed.

One end was taken home and given to life, while the other end was beaten and scolded as a slave. This made him want to be cruel but couldn’t be cruel, and he wanted to treat them wholeheartedly but was repeatedly disappointed.

He must have lived in struggle for more than ten years.

No wonder Xu He never compared himself with his second sister, he always put himself in a low place.

He rubbed Xu He's hand: "I don't care if you are born to the Xu family or not, but now you are my wife."

"If the Xu family treats you as their own, then we should return it with the respect like we respect our parents , if they want to treat you as a slave, don't let us get used to it. In the future, if they politely ask for something, we can help with the big things and don't help with small things. The big guys have to live their lives, so it's hard to revolve around them."

Xu He nodded: "Got it."
