Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Su Anna’s Wedding ( 2 )
Hearing the sound of the lock, the matchmaker looked at Su Anna with pity and said, “Niece Su, let’s clean your face first.”

With the help of the matchmaker, Su Anna wiped her body and face before putting on a clean set of clothes. Usually, even if they don’t wear a wedding dress, the villagers will put on a new set of clothes and pin a red flower on the chest of the bride and groom.

The matchmaker looked at Su Anna’s clothes and sighed. Her clothes are not only old clothes, they’re not even red flowers pinned on her clothes or hair at all. Although she felt sorry for her, the matchmaker was helpless. After all, if Su Anna doesn’t get married today, she will go to jail, which will ruin her life.

Su Anna clenched her fists tightly as the matchmaker helped her put on makeup. She thought the Gao family would wait until her rash and swelling healed completely before holding the wedding. Unexpectedly, she was caught off guard by their sudden decision to hold a wedding today.

It had only been two days since she sent the telegram to Xiao Yiguan, and it took Xiao Yiguan’s men at least three to five days to arrive. She worried that by the time they came to save her, it would be too late.

If she wants to marry Li Chenmo, she cannot lose her purity. No matter what, she couldn’t let Da Gao touch her!

With this thought, she observed the room, looking for something that could be used to protect herself. When her eyes fell on the wooden hairpin used by the matchmaker to hold her hair, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Even though they are made of wood, the tips of the hairpins are sharp enough to hurt someone.

After making the decision, Su Anna calmed down and didn’t resist much. Seeing this, the matchmaker sighed, thinking that it would be a pity for an educated youth to marry a village man, especially a person with no future like Da Gao.

After all, there were several educated youths who had pursued Su Anna before. If she hadn’t insisted on Li Chenmo and married another man, she wouldn’t have ended up where she did today.

While the matchmaker was busy helping Su Anna put on makeup, Da Gao was entertaining the guests with a smile on his face. Since his bride lived in the same house as him, they didn’t need a bride-picking ceremony.

At this time, several wedding banquet tables had been set up in the front yard. Although Da Gao is known as a useless delinquent, Grandma Gao has a good relationship with the neighbors. Therefore, several women still came to help prepare the wedding banquet dishes.

At first, Grandma Gao wanted to ask Lu Jueyu to help prepare the wedding banquet. But after what happened yesterday between Su Anna and her, Grandma Gao changed her mind. Eventually, she could only settle for ordinary dishes for her grandson’s wedding banquet.

In the kitchen, women are cutting vegetables, kneading dough, and making pancakes. Some women were washing pots and pans in the backyard.

When Grandma Gao came over to check on the preparations, she saw one of the women pouring two spoons of oil for cooking. It pained her to see her waste her precious materials as if they were free. But today was her eldest grandson’s wedding banquet, so she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Although it looked like the lady used a lot of oil, there wasn’t even an egg in the vegetable dish. In order to improve the taste, she can only use more lard. Two tablespoons of oil is not much at all compared to the amount of vegetables cooked.

Not knowing that Grandma Gao was dissatisfied with her, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, “Aunt Gao, we just need to cook noodles then we can start the banquet.”

Grandma Gao glanced at the beaten eggs in the bowl and asked, “Niece, what noodles are you going to make?”

“Since we only have one meat dish, I’m going to make egg noodle soup.”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gao nodded, but didn’t say much. After Su Anna married into their family, the ten yuan that was used as a bride price and Su Anna’s money will become the Gao family’s money. Therefore, it is still acceptable to spend a little money on the wedding banquet.

While the Gao family was busy, Liu Hua was on her way to find Wang Muxiao. Because of her excitement, she didn’t pay attention to the intersection and bumped into Xiao Li.

As soon as her nose hit Xiao Li’s chest, she exclaimed, “Aiyo, my nose!”

Seeing Liu Hua almost being knocked to the ground, Xiao Li quickly reached out and held her wrist. He pulled her back and helped her stabilize her footing. He looked into her tearful eyes and asked, “Liu Hua, are you okay?”

Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Hua raised her head and saw Xiao Li looking at her with worry. She knew that her childhood sweetheart was not as indifferent as he claimed.

She covered her nose and glared at him, saying, “Ah Li, you almost broke my nose. If no one wants to marry me because of my crooked nose, what should I do?”

Seeing that she could still complain and talk nonsense, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hand and said, “Your nose is not broken.”

Remembering that the Liu family was talking about Liu Hua’s marriage with the Huang family in the neighboring village, he took two steps back to distance himself from her and said, “Pay attention to the intersection when walking.”

After saying this, he left without looking back. Looking at his back, Liu Hua sighed and muttered, “Silly Ah Li, if you still do nothing, I will marry another man.”

She knew that he had low self-esteem and did not dare to propose to her even though she didn’t mind his family background or wealth at all. She actually rejected so many promising men just to wait for him. However, she is now 22 years old and she can no longer refuse her parents’ arrangements.

Liu Hua shook her head, turned around, and walked towards the Lu family. Since there is gossip, she must share it with her friends!
