After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 59: A coward wants to save face?

When Zhao Lan came back, it was already afternoon.

She solemnly told her parents that she was willing to marry Zhang Qingsheng and hoped that the wedding could be held as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

There was no expression on her face and no emotion in her tone.

Zhao Hongcai felt sorry for his daughter and said, "It doesn't matter. If you don't like it, we can choose another one. Even if you never get married, our family can still support you."

Feng Zhuanxia coughed and glared at Zhao Hongcai secretly.

She said gently, "Xiao Lan, I'm so glad you can think it through. Just trust me. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten noodles. I won't harm you. I'll tell the matchmaker what jewelry and furniture you want."

"You can handle it yourself." Zhao Lan said and went out.

Zhao Hongcai puffed on his cigarette and said, "A forced melon is not sweet. Xiaolan doesn't want to, so forget it."

"Keep your voice down. Do you think this will be the same as before? This time it's a middle school teacher. There are several matchmakers. If we don't hurry up, someone else might snatch her away."

"But Xiaolan is unwilling, you..."

"Of course she is unwilling. Didn't she ask me to arrange it? You don't have to worry about it. I'll do it." Feng Zhuanxia waved her hand and interrupted him.

"A tape recorder, a sewing machine, a bicycle, and what else? Yes, a watch." Feng Zhuanxia counted on her fingers and muttered to herself, "No, I have to call my sister to see if she needs anything else."

As she spoke, she picked up the phone.

In the side room, Zhao Lan buried her head in the quilt and sobbed.

Just now when she went out, she happened to meet Luo Xiaojiang who was going to the market at the entrance of the village.

He hasn't been back in the past few years. This year, he graduated from university and took a leave to come back.

She didn't expect to meet him by chance, it was like God had arranged it!

After four years, Luo Xiaojiang has lost his childishness and gained maturity. The influence of the big city has also made him look more vigorous and more elegant.

She didn't know what to say. She thought he had forgotten her long ago, but Luo Xiaojiang stopped her and asked about her recent situation and also told her about his own.

She didn't remember anything else. She only remembered that he said that he was going to get married soon. His girlfriend was a very lovely southern girl who was in the same major as him, and they would settle down in the South in the future.

When talking about that girl, there was an unconcealable tenderness in his eyes, just like the way he looked at her back then!

Her heart ached, and she didn't know how she had managed to hold on until both sides said goodbye.

Suddenly, she felt ridiculous. What was she still insisting on? She knew, she had known for a long time, that she was no longer worthy of him.

But she still felt uncomfortable and still wanted to cry.

Gu Errong's sister-in-law Huang Chunyan was tidying up the old yard of Peng Xiaoling's house, feeling extremely annoyed. She was really miserable. She had not had a day's rest since returning from Nanjiang. And tomorrow she would have to start working again.

She wanted to clean up the yard today and move all the furniture, pots, pans, and other things in.

Peng Xiaoling helped her sweep the floor and said, "I heard that Errong's new wife went to the county town again. What did she do?"

Huang Chunyan sneered and said, "That's right. She said she was taking Xiaoyun to visit No. 1 Middle School, but actually, you know, Errong had just left when she chased after him. Look at her eyebrows and eyes, they were full of flirtation."

Peng Xiaoling chuckled and said, "Don't tell me, men are just fools. Even a decent man like Errong can't escape the temptation of beauty. Think about other men."

"Oh, don't say anything. What we married was not a wife, but an ancestor. He is lucky. I don't know why he is quite pleasing to Gu Ruyi's mother's eyes. Everything he does seems right."

"I feel the same way. I feel my aunt is very protective of her. I remember when you first got married, you did everything inside and outside the house. By the way, how was your land divided?"

"I don't know what they were thinking about the land, but they just took the big piece near the door. I felt sorry for her and asked her to come work in the factory with me, but she was not happy and said she wanted to find a way out here."

"What options are there for us here? If I could leave my home, I would go to work with you."

Huang Chunyan sneered and said, "Who knows? She probably thinks her man can make money. Women should keep their eyes open when getting married. If I marry a loser like this, I will suffer for the rest of my life."

"That's not the case. I feel my aunt is too partial. Why should she let you do everything?"

Huang Chunyan became even angrier when Peng Xiaoling said this. She no longer wanted to give Guan Youshuang the land she had promised to grow vegetables on. She said, "I've applied fertilizer to the land across the river from my house, which is adjacent to yours, at the beginning of the year. You can use it to grow vegetables first."

"Yes, the land must be planted. If it is not planted, it will easily go to waste."

As they were talking, Gu Ruyi came in carrying a table.

He asked where the table was?

"Put it on the ground. Where else can you put it? Can you put it in the sky?"

In front of Peng Xiaoling, Gu Ruyi blushed and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you talk like that?"

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said? Look at you, a grown man with a head on two shoulders, but you don't even think before doing anything and always ask me. Don't you think you're a coward? Errong is seven or eight years younger than you. Ask him if he also asks his wife about everything?"

Gu Ruyi was angry.

"Er Rong is so good, why don't you marry him?"

"You, what are you saying?" Huang Chunyan took a few steps forward and pushed Gu Ruyi.

Peng Xiaoling held her back and said, "Alright, alright, you two have been married for so many years, why are you still as hot-tempered as young people?"

Gu Ruyi slammed the door and walked out.

"Look, he's still in a bad mood now. I can't stand him saying anything."

"Chun Yan, let me tell you, as a man, you have to learn to save face. In your own room, with the door closed, you can beat and scold me as much as you want. But outside, you still have to restrain yourself."

Huang Chunyan sneered: "Humph, face? That's something that only capable men need. What face do you need for a loser like me?"

"You!"

After cleaning the yard, Huang Chunyan went back to get the pots and pans.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the voices of Guan Youshuang and my mother-in-law Wang Huiying. They were in the main room.

She walked in and saw a large carpet on the coffee table, on which were piled all kinds of threads, needles, papers and pens.

Many of them she had never seen.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are together, they look closer than real mother and daughter.

"Sister-in-law, are you back? Come and sit down. I want to ask you something."

"What are you doing?" Huang Chunyan walked over and sat next to Guan Youshuang.

"I want to embroider something on this carpet. Sister-in-law, what kind of thread do you think is more suitable?"

Embroidering something on a rug?

Huang Chunyan has embroidered pillowcases, shoes, and hair bands, but she never thought that she could embroider something on carpets.

She felt the texture of the carpet and said, "This one might be a little difficult. It's too thick."
