Chapter 101 Protecting His Wife

Jiang Zhizhi was stunned when she saw Fang Hua. She thought hard for a moment before she remembered that Fang Hua was Zhou Xiye's mother.

However, she seems difficult to get along with. She is good-looking and has a refined demeanor, but she has an arrogant attitude.

She wanted to stand up and greet her, but then she saw Wang Qinglan next to her, so she simply pursed her lips and remained silent.

Judging from the looks of it, Wang Qinglan and Fang Hua are good friends, and Fang Hua might have been sent by Wang Qinglan to deal with her.

Zhou Xiye was also quite surprised. He stood up and looked at Fang Hua: "Mom, what brings you here?"

Fang Hua glanced at Jiang Zhizhi again, then greeted Tian Aiqin first: "Sorry to bother you. I went to the military region to find Political Commissar Li and wanted to visit the Northwest Field Army. I didn't expect them to be at your house."

When Tian Aiqin heard Zhou Xiye call out "Mom," and Fang Hua spoke up, she quickly greeted him politely and warmly: "Oh my, you've come at such a good time! Xiye and Xiao Jiang got their marriage certificate today. We were just saying we wanted to make dumplings to celebrate."

Fang Hua was stunned for a moment: "You got your marriage certificate?"

Wang Qinglan was even more shocked: "What? You got your marriage certificate?!"

Yesterday, Bian Xiaoxiao's face was slapped by Jiang Zhizhi and looked like a pig's head. She wanted to confront Jiang Zhizhi, but she held back in the end.

Because the military region had spoken to her yesterday, and although they said some comforting words, she sensed something unusual.

Fearing unnecessary trouble, she waited for Fang Hua to arrive today so that he could help her vent her anger.

Unexpectedly, I heard the news of Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhiling's marriage certificate as soon as I arrived.

Seeing Wang Qinglan's shocked expression, Jiang Zhizhi suddenly had a wicked idea. She patted the flour off her hands, took out the marriage certificate from her pocket, shook it, and opened it in front of Wang Qinglan: "I got it. I went this morning, and I've already bought the wedding candy."

But she didn't mention offering Wang Qinglan wedding candy later; she wouldn't give it to her, it would be a waste of two cents.

Wang Qinglan's face twitched; she was furious, but she couldn't vent her anger in Li Zhi's house. She turned to Fang Hua and asked, "Is she the daughter of the Jiang family?"

Fang Hua frowned, but had no choice but to nod.

She came with two purposes: one was to prevent Zhou Xiye from being with the village girl, and the other was that since Zhou Xiye was unwilling to accept the marriage arranged by his family, she would take the initiative to cancel the marriage.

She had never liked Jiang Zhizhi before; the girl's eyes were too bright and her looks were too striking.

If it weren't for Jiang Zhenhua's strict control, she probably would have run away with someone long ago.

As a result, Jiang Zhizhi is no longer Jiang Zhenhua's biological daughter, and Jiang Zhenhua has been demoted to a lower-level position.

With her status, how could she be worthy of her outstanding son?

Wang Qinglan was speechless. She never expected that the village girl she thought she knew was Zhou Xiye's fiancée, and now they had officially obtained their marriage certificate.

Her daughter has no chance at all.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his face turned ashen: "Please sit down, I'm leaving now."

But in her heart, she felt resentment, as if she had been fooled by Jiang Zhizhi, who had acted like a clown for so many days.

Fang Hua knew what Wang Qinglan was angry about, and said to Li Zhiguo, "You guys sit down first, I'll go take a look."

He chased after Wang Qinglan as she went out.

Wang Qinglan was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger. Looking at Fang Hua who had chased after her, she couldn't help but complain, "Fang Hua, look at how rude Jiang Zhizhi is. How could you agree to such a marriage?"

Although Fang Hua looked down on Jiang Zhizhi, she was very protective of her son Zhou Xiye's feelings: "Xiye has already registered his marriage with her, so what is there for me to object to? Besides, it's their life together from now on, and as an elder, I shouldn't interfere too much."

Wang Qinglan was even angrier: "Fang Hua, aren't you afraid she'll lead Xiye astray? There's a saying that goes, 'Once you have a wife, you forget your mother.' Look at how smug she was just now."

Fang Hua thought about it and also felt disgusted with Jiang Zhizhi, but his expression remained calm: "They're already married, we can't just make them divorce, can we? Besides, although Zhizhi isn't very capable, she's beautiful, and the children she has will definitely be beautiful too."

Wang Qinglan felt that Fang Hua had changed, and why was he so difficult to reason with now?

They've known each other for almost thirty years and appear to have a good relationship, but in reality, they've always been secretly competing with each other.

Whoever's husband has a high position, whose children will be successful.

This is also why she was so angry that her son was dead while Zhou Xiye was still alive. From now on, she would never be able to compare with Fang Hua!

Fang Hua sighed, "Forget it, our children and grandchildren have their own lives. Let's not worry about their affairs. Wouldn't it be better for us to retire comfortably? I'll ask you to come with me when I go to the Sunan Sanatorium later."

Wang Qinglan's heart ached. What was the point of her going? She was inferior to Fang Hua in every way. Going there would only mean watching Fang Hua show off.

His face was ashen: "Alright, I won't disturb your family's meal any longer. I'll go back first and talk to you later."

Fang Hua nodded seriously: "Okay, but I might not have time these next couple of days. After all, Nishino just got married, and I need to go buy them some things."

Wang Qinglan was so angry that her head started to buzz, and she didn't want to listen to Fang Hua's boasting.

But he didn't forget the important matter: "By the way, I heard that this Jiang Zhizhi isn't the Jiang family's biological daughter. Whose daughter is she? Does she look familiar?"

Fang Hua raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, "No, Zhizhi is someone I've watched grow up. She's always been very pretty. Don't tell me she looks like that female reporter. If that female reporter were really that pretty, all the single men in Lao Zhou's workplace would have been scrambling to pursue her."

Wang Qinglan looked embarrassed and didn't want to continue the conversation with Fang Hua: "Alright, I'm leaving now. We can talk again when you're free."

Fang Hua watched Wang Qinglan leave with a polite smile before turning to go to Li Zhi's house, but his mood was anything but good.

Jiang Zhizhi is not good enough for her son Zhou Xiye at all!

When Fang Hua returned, Jiang Zhizhi had already helped Tian Aiqin make dumplings.

Tian Aiqin called out to Fang Hua with a smile, "Auntie, come in and sit down quickly, dinner will be ready soon. Look how skillful your little Jiang is, the dumplings he made are so round and plump."

Jiang Zhizhi looked at the few terrible dumplings she had made; it was Zhou Xiye who later helped to save them.

Feeling somewhat guilty, I realized there was no need to force myself to praise this sister-in-law.

Having been married for over a decade, Tian Aiqin knows all too well how to get along with her mother-in-law.

It was also clear that when Fang Hua entered the room, he didn't even glance at Jiang Zhizhi.

Fang Hua nodded expressionlessly, maintaining his haughty demeanor.

Jiang Zhizhi didn't care, since she wasn't going to be with Fang Hua anyway.

Zhou Xiye frowned at Fang Hua's attitude, then suddenly stood up and took the bamboo mat for holding dumplings from Jiang Zhizhi: "I'll cook the dumplings. The edge of the pot is too hot, don't get burned."

Jiang Zhizhi didn't think much of it, and let go while smiling: "It's okay, I'm not a child, how could I get burned?"

As she spoke, she followed Zhou Xiye into the kitchen.

Tian Aiqin watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh: "Look how good the young couple's relationship is!"

Fang Hua remained silent, feeling angry. She hadn't even said anything to Jiang Zhizhi yet, but Zhou Xiye had already stepped in to protect her!

Wang Qinglan was right; this son has forgotten his mother after getting married!
