Chapter 354: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
Wen Yang was awakened by stomachache. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw the familiar mosquito net that had turned yellow from washing.
Then she sat up, looked around, and was surprised to find that she was back in the boudoir she lived in before she got married.
What's going on? Wasn't she already terminally ill and dying? Why is she here?
She stumbled to the mirror in the room with unsteady steps and was surprised to find that the wrinkles on her face had disappeared, replaced by a face with tight skin.
She stroked her smooth face in disbelief and murmured, "Is this a dream..."
How else would she have reverted to her teenage self?
Wen Yang pinched his cheek in disbelief.
The pain made her hiss, and then she realized with surprise that all this was real and she was not dreaming!
She really has returned to her teenage self!
Just as she was immersed in this joy, she suddenly heard a woman's anxious and helpless voice coming from outside the door: "Yangyang, just open the door and come out to eat something. I don't object to you marrying Xu Weiren."
The familiar voice made Wen Yang feel a little dazed. She recognized that the person talking outside the door was her mother, Zhao Lifang.
The Xu Weiren that Zhao Lifang was talking about was the man she was determined to marry.
I didn't expect that I would return to this time...
Wen Yang lowered his eyes, a wry smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
In her previous life, ever since she married Xu Weiren, she realized what a hypocritical person Xu Weiren was.
Later she also found out that her acquaintance with Xu Weiren was not accidental.
But it was calculated.
The day she first met Xu Weiren, she and her next-door neighbor Cai Zhenzhen made an appointment to go to the river to wash clothes.
Suddenly, she felt a force from behind, and when she turned around, she had already fallen into the water.
Cai Zhenzhen couldn't swim, so she just asked someone to help her go back to the village and call for help, and then ran away.
Wen Yang was floating in the water and was extremely scared. By chance, Xu Weiren from the neighboring Huangshi Village passed by the river. He put down the water he had just carried on his shoulders, jumped into the river, and rescued her.
Perhaps because Xu Weiren appeared in time to save her when she was frightened in the water, she inevitably developed an inexplicable feeling for Xu Weiren.
Later, Xu Weiren often came to Honghua Village under the pretext of looking for friends. As they met more and more often, they gradually became familiar with each other. Xu Weiren would occasionally look for opportunities to talk to her alone.
Later one day, Cai Zhenzhen, who lived next door to her, pulled her aside mysteriously and told her that someone was acting as a matchmaker for the Xu family in Huangshi Village. She told her that if she liked Xu Weiren, she should hurry up, otherwise she would have to watch Xu Weiren marry someone else.
When Wen Yang thought about it now, he found this statement ridiculous.
Huangshi Village is already poorer than Honghua Village, and the Xu family is the poorest of the poor in Huangshi Village. They are so poor that they can hardly even open the pot and have enough food to eat.
Why would anyone rush to act as a matchmaker for a family like this?
But she was blinded at the time and believed such nonsense. She became anxious when she heard it, so she ran to her parents and told them that she wanted to marry Xu Weiren.
Of course, such a request was not approved by her parents, so she resorted to a hunger strike... She locked herself in the house, refusing to go out, and was unwilling to even say a word to her parents, because she felt that her parents wanted to interfere in her feelings and prevent her from finding true happiness.
Finally, out of helplessness, her parents compromised and agreed to let her marry in Huangshi Village.
When she first learned her parents agreed, she was overjoyed and thought she had found true love. However, after she got married, she realized that the Xu family was a pit of calculations...
Later, her parents spent a lot of effort to support her...
Thinking of this, Wen Yang's eyes couldn't help but feel a little sore.
She walked quickly to the door, unfastened the chain, and opened it.
Zhao Lifang seemed to have not expected Wen Yang to suddenly open the door, and her face was a little dazed for a moment.
But Wen Yang threw himself into Zhao Lifang's arms regardless of anything.
"mother."
As soon as she shouted, tears as big as beans rolled down her face.
Seeing her daughter crying, Zhao Lifang felt extremely distressed. She quickly raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears from Wen Yang's eyes and softly comforted her, "Don't cry, Yangyang. Didn't I just tell you that mother agrees to let you marry the boy from the Xu family?"
Hearing this, Wen Yang lay in Zhao Lifang's arms, tears welling up in his eyes and shaking his head like a rattle.
"Mom, I won't marry Xu Weiren." His tone was firm and he didn't sound like he was joking.
Two days ago, Wen Yang was even threatening to go on a hunger strike in protest. She discussed it with her husband Wen Tuqiang for a long time before she reluctantly agreed.
But why did this child suddenly come to his senses? This sudden change left Zhao Lifang confused.
Wen Yang also knew that her sudden change of heart at this critical moment would confuse others, so she sniffed and explained, "Mom, I just suddenly realized that there are many ways to repay your life-saving grace. I don't necessarily have to give myself to you."
After hearing Wen Yang's words, Zhao Lifang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her daughter Yangyang has been beautiful since she was a child. She has an oval face with a rosy face, big black eyes, cherry lips and a beautiful nose, and her hair is smooth and shiny as if it were oiled.
Moreover, Yangyang is an educated person with a good personality. It can be said that everyone in the village who knows her praises her.
She couldn't bear to see such a good daughter of hers suffer in the future.
Although the Wen family was not a wealthy family, they had dozens of acres of fertile land and a good harvest. Not only could they have enough food to eat, but they also had a lot left over to exchange for money. Therefore, their family could be said to live a very wealthy life in Honghua Village.
In her mind, even if her daughter didn't marry into a wealthy family, at least she couldn't help alleviate poverty.
She had specifically asked someone to inquire about the Xu family in Huangshi Village. They had five members of the family, squeezed into two small adobe houses. Xu Weiren's mother had poor eyesight and could not do heavy work. Xu Weiren's father had a bad back and could not do heavy work either.
Although Xu Weiren himself is indeed an upright young man, the livelihood of the entire family depends on him alone.
He has two underage brothers and sisters who are not well educated and do not know how to help with some of the housework.
Fortunately, Wen Yang has thought it through now, otherwise if she really got married, she doesn’t know how hard her life would be.
She gently stroked Wen Yang's back and said softly, "Just think it through now. When you were rescued, your father brought your brother, A-Zhong, to give gifts and express his gratitude. The food he sent was enough to sustain his family for a long time. You don't owe him anything anymore."
Wen Yang leaned in Zhao Lifang's arms and nodded obediently.
