However, Sun Xiaocao still felt that something was wrong. She stammered and wanted to say something, but Sun Yunyun didn’t want to listen. In the end, she could only give up. After dinner, her parents asked her what happened on the river bank. After Sun Xiaocao told them what she saw, her parents couldn’t help but sneer.

“I think Big Brother and sister-in-law have lost their minds. Sun Yunyun has been spoiled to this extent.”

“How embarrassing. Xiaocao, don’t hang out with Sun Yunyun anymore, lest she leads you astray.”

“That’s right. I don’t think this has anything to do with Su Wen. Her courtyard had been burned down and there were so many matters at home. Who would have time for her? It’s simply nonsense.”

Sun Xiaocao finally understood what was wrong.

During dinner, Su Xiu went into hiding again.

Su Wen called for her, but Su Xiu had already eaten in the kitchen and adamantly refused to join the main table for dinner. In the end, they had no choice but to let her be. However, since there were relatives at home today, the dining table in the central room was the most common eight-square table in the countryside. It could accommodate four people comfortably and up to eight people at most, beyond which it would become crowded.

Seeing that Third sister refused to eat at the table, Su Sixth sister and her Little sister did not go to the table either. They took their bowls and ate in the kitchen.

This way, Third sister could secretly give them extra portions.

Su Qing and Su Xiu saw that their Little sister wasn’t going to the table, so they refused to go to the table either. However, Su Wen stopped them. She wasn’t an old-fashioned person. She didn’t have the traditional custom of having relatives and women not joining at the main table.

Su Xiu’s refusal to join them was still due to He Changming. It seemed that He

Changming didn’t manage to grasp the plan when they weren’t around just now!

Su Wen glanced at He Changming, whose expression was not good, and finally shook her head helplessly. Although she thought highly of He Changming, if Su Xiu didn’t like him, then everything would be in vain.

“Would you like some wine?” As the number of people eating suddenly increased, Zhou Hengyang and Su Wen sat side by side at the main table today. “No, I’ll just drink some champagne.” Su Wen poured herself half a glass. Actually, this thing was just soda and did not contain alcohol.

“It’s good that you don’t drink.” Zhou Hengyang handed the glass to Xu

Xiaoxiao and asked him to pour himself some wine. He leaned closer to Su Wen and said regretfully, “It’s a pity.”

“What’s a pity?

“It’s a pity that I won’t get to see you drunk.”

As he spoke, he casually turned his head. Su Wen could even feel his eyelashes brushing past her ears, bringing about a tingling sensation.

She thought, “Oh my god! Life was becoming unbearable. Forget it, I might as well go to the kitchen to eat!”

Su Wen downed the champagne in one gulp and ran away with her rice bowl.

Shen Erkui and He Changming looked at Zhou Hengyang with a complicated expression. Xu Xiaoxiao had already transformed into a little glutton. He didn’t even have time to drink. He picked up his chopsticks and swept the dishes away. He was eating too happily!

Zhou Hengyang paid no heed to Shen Erkui’s and He Changming’s gazes. He just nodded at the two of them expressionlessly and tasted the white wine in his glass. The alcohol content was very high, and the quality was very average. He had never tasted such a bad white wine, but because of the different state of mind, he could still discern different nuances of flavors.

After dinner, He Changming and Shen Erkui left. As they departed, one of them greeted Su Wen, and the other greeted Su Xiu..
