Synopsis: Wang Ying heard her sister Wang Hui clamoring to marry Du Jianguo, and she knew that Wang Hui had also been reborn.
In her previous life, Wang Ying married Du Jianguo. Their conditi...
Chapter 6: Aspiration to learn from her? Even my husband can’t stop me if I learn from her! ...
Hearing that it was settled, Wang Hui breathed a sigh of relief. This was all good. She couldn't escape her wealth in this life. Everything her elder sister enjoyed in her previous life, it was her turn in this life! She would treat her elder sister well, just as her elder sister had treated her in her previous life, but she would keep a close eye on Du Jianguo and would never let him have second thoughts.
Wang Ying glanced at Zhao Yunsheng again, wondering what he was like in his past life. After all, Wang Hui and he had divorced after only a few years, and they hadn't seen each other since. All she could remember were bad things. If she hadn't been attracted to Zhao Yunsheng's father, who was the director of the deputy food production department, she definitely wouldn't have married him.
The three families immediately began to discuss the marriage. Nowadays, the betrothal gifts and dowries of every family in the city are similar. Although the Zhao family is better off, their betrothal gifts are the same as the Du family's. After all, it would be unpleasant for two sisters to go out on the same day and compete with each other.
Both families gave a gift of two hundred yuan each, along with the now-standard "three turns and one ring." They also gave two sets of clothes for each season, two pairs of leather shoes, and ready-made furniture for both families, to be used temporarily until the family splits up, or more furniture can be purchased. The rest of the tea and snack gifts followed the city's standard.
The dowry given by the Wang family was the same for both sisters. The gifts from the two families were given to the girls as a deposit. In addition, each of them gave two boxes as dowry, four quilts, washbasin stands, porcelain basins, bathtubs, thermoses, toilets and other items used in the couple's room.
Because every household was similar, and the Wang family had no son, they didn't need to deduct anything from their daughter's betrothal gifts. Within an hour, the three families had reached an agreement.
Wang Ying and Wang Hui's marriage was settled, and the marriage certificate and wedding were both held on National Day.
"We've almost finished the discussion, so let's go back first!" said Sun Qiaoling.
"Okay, it's getting late and we have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't keep you here! Yunsheng and Jianguo, please be careful when riding your bikes." Wang Yongren said.
The Du family mother and daughter, as well as the Zhao family mother and daughter, all stood up. Zhao Yunheng and Du Jianguo both responded, "I understand, uncle."
Li Fengju said, "Yingzi, Huihui, please see your aunt off."
Wang Hui shyly said to Sun Qiaoling and Du Jianguo, "Auntie, Brother Jianguo, I'll take you there."
"Okay." Sun Qiaoling was very happy to see that Wang Hui cared about Du Jianguo. When looking for a wife, she must find one who values her son.
Wang Ying, on the other hand, was rather indifferent. She said with a blank expression, "Auntie, be careful with the threshold."
Chen Xiuqin responded with a smile.
Several people left the main hall. Following the movements of Sun Qiaoling and Chen Xiuqin, Wang Hui walked next to Du Jianguo, and Wang Ying walked next to Zhao Yunsheng.
Zhao Yunsheng suddenly leaned over and whispered to Wang Ying, "Xiao Yingzi, why is the valve core of your bicycle on the big table?"
Wang Ying was startled by Zhao Yunsheng's sudden approach, but everyone else was talking and didn't notice them.
"I don't know." Wang Ying said, and then he heard Zhao Yunsheng laugh twice, which was quite pleasant.
The two didn't say anything else. Wang Ying sent Chen Xiuqin to the gate of the courtyard, but Wang Hui followed Du Jianguo to push the bicycle.
Du Jianguo and Zhao Yunsheng both pushed their bicycles to the gate of the courtyard and pushed them out.
Wang Hui said delicately, "Brother Jianguo, please be careful when riding your bike at night."
"Yeah." Du Jianguo felt happy but a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiuqin glanced at Wang Hui and then at Wang Ying. Wang Ying had never been a delicate person. She just said in a normal and polite manner, "Goodbye, auntie." She didn't even mention Zhao Yunsheng.
Chen Xiuqin smiled instead: "Hey, go back and have some rest. When you have time, ask your brother Yunsheng to take you to the cultural center."
"Okay." Wang Ying agreed.
The two sons rode their bicycles and left Wang's house with their two mothers.
Wang Hui stood at the door and watched Du Jianguo leave, while Wang Ying turned around and went in.
Chen Xiuqin noticed Wang Hui's behavior and clicked her tongue twice. The two families' bicycles took different routes at the entrance of the alley, and Chen Xiuqin and Sun Qiaoling waved goodbye.
The streets were deserted. Chen Xiuqin said to her son, Zhao Yunsheng, "The little girl from the Wang family is really not as good as the older one. She's not steady at all. Fortunately, the Du family came to replace her. I don't think the two adults in the Wang family want to change. It seems that the little girl has taken a fancy to the Du family."
Zhao Yunsheng remained silent, still wondering why the valve core of the Wang family's bicycle was on the big table. What had happened to the Wang family before they went there?
"Mom is talking to you! Why don't you say anything? What did you whisper to Xiao Yingzi just now that scared her?" Chen Xiuqin said.
"I'm telling you a secret." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Zhao Yunsheng, you are amazing. You haven't even gotten married yet, but you've already forgotten your mother." Chen Xiuqin joked with her son, and Zhao Yunsheng also laughed.
Zhao Yunsheng hummed a song and pedaled his bicycle very fast.
The Wang family of four sat down at the dinner table again, one on each side.
"Wang Hui, I find you too unstable!" Li Fengju said to Wang Hui with a stern face.
"Mom! Why are you scolding me again? Haven't the marriages of both families been settled?" Wang Hui was a little impatient. It was obviously a happy occasion, but her mother wanted to spoil the fun.
"Oh, the marriage is settled, and you are going to their house. Mom can't say anything to you then?" Li Fengju was very angry with Wang Hui today.
"Mom, that's not what I meant. I understand, I understand, just say whatever you want to say." Wang Hui said.
Seeing Wang Hui like this, Li Fengju felt a little discouraged. Ever since they started talking about marriage, she had noticed that her little girl had become a different person. She was only eighteen, but when it came to getting married, she didn't say she was reluctant to leave her parents. Instead, her heart seemed to be flying to the Du family.
She also couldn't stand the way she looked at Du Jianguo and the tone of her voice. She didn't know where she learned that. She didn't act like a proper girl!
"Wang Hui, Mom is telling you seriously, have you met some second-rate guy outside?" Li Fengju asked with a stern face.
Wang Hui jumped up anxiously: "Mom, what are you talking about! How can anyone say that to their own daughter?"
"You haven't looked in the mirror to see what you look like when you stare at Du Jianguo!" Li Fengju said, "And you can't speak properly? Who is like you?"
Wang Hui's heart suddenly tightened. She wondered if she had revealed some of her past life's little tricks! She immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Mom, I know I was wrong. Thanks to you for scolding me and waking me up. I will pay attention next time."
"Learn from your eldest sister. Look how steady she is!" Li Fengju now really thinks that the eldest daughter is good. At least she doesn't cause trouble and doesn't embarrass her.
Learn from her? If I learn from her, even my husband can’t stop me! Wang Hui thought to herself. But on the surface, she still responded: "I know, Mom, I was just too happy at the time."
"Is getting married so exciting?" Wang Yongren said.
Wang Hui was confused for a moment. Isn't marriage a good thing? Why shouldn't she be happy?
Wang Yongren and Li Fengju felt even more heartbroken when they saw Wang Hui’s dazed look.
"I've raised you for eighteen years in vain!" Wang Yongren said, standing up.
Li Fengju also stood up, and without saying a word, the couple returned to their room.
Wang Hui finally realized why her parents were angry. They were angry that she didn't want to leave them. Why didn't she realize in her past life that her parents were so fussy?
Wang Ying went back to her room to get her change of clothes and said in the main room, "I'm going to take a shower first."
Wang Hui returned to her room and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling unhappy. She had clearly snatched her brother-in-law away in her previous life, and her parents had always been on her side. Why were they blaming her for such a trivial matter today? She really didn't understand!
Wang Ying pondered this question. Why, in the end, could her parents, so disregarding ethics and morality, support Wang Hui in her quest to steal her husband? After much reflection, Wang Ying concluded that time and experience were the key. They had always favored Wang Hui, and since she had been living at home since the divorce, their bias had only grown.
After the lessons learned in his previous life, Wang Ying was no longer so open-hearted towards anyone. Towards his parents, Wang Ying was only prepared to fulfill the most basic obligation of support; it was impossible for him to do the same as in his previous life.
Wang Ying had no intention of seeking revenge against Wang Hui and Du Jianguo. The accounts had been settled during their previous life's divorce. Now that they were reborn, she wanted to look forward, work hard, and become even more successful than she had been in her previous life. As long as she succeeded, even more successfully than she had in her previous life, it would be her ultimate revenge.
Wang Ying finished her shower and returned to her room. Wang Hui looked up at her and said, "Sister, why aren't you happy at all? Don't you want to change?"
"No, Zhao Yunsheng is more handsome than Du Jianguo. I don't understand why you look down on him." Wang Ying said.
"What's the use of looking good!" Wang Hui replied.
"Zhao Yunsheng's father is the director of a non-staple food factory." Wang Ying added.
"He's just a director. I don't know when he was fired." Wang Hui muttered.
Wang Ying was drying her hair, but she stopped and looked at Wang Hui: "Wang Hui, what do you mean?"
Wang Hui realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly smiled: "Sister, as long as you are satisfied! I'm going to take a shower." Wang Hui said and ran away from the room.
Wang Ying remembered that Zhao Yunsheng's father had indeed been dismissed from his position as director in his previous life due to some incident, but it wasn't until several years later that Wang Hui finally filed for divorce, which was somewhat related to this incident. Wang Hui couldn't clearly explain the specific incident, but it seemed that a batch of canned food had gone wrong, causing considerable losses to the factory.
Wang Ying sees a bright future for the food supplement market. People have mouths, and they need to eat! With the country's development, conditions will improve, and demand will grow. However, her own food supplements, especially snacks, developed late, with a small scale and limited variety. She remembers that most of the items on supermarket shelves were foreign brands...
Wang Ying thought far ahead. She also knew that the road ahead would definitely not be easy. However, in her previous life, she had been able to walk such a broad road without any foresight. She believed that in this life, she would definitely achieve greater success - starting from the non-staple food processing factory in their district!
While taking a shower, Wang Hui thought that she might have gone too far today and made her parents unhappy. She had to control her parents and not let them favor her eldest sister!
After taking a shower, Wang Hui went to the room of Wang Yongren and his wife.
"What are you doing here so late?" Li Fengju asked, her tone still not so good.
"Mom, I know I was wrong." Wang Hui said in a delicate voice, "I really don't want to leave you. Just for the sake of not having to go to the countryside, I can't leave you. If it really doesn't work out, I won't get married yet and let my eldest sister get married first."
Wang Yongren snorted, "Why are you saying this now? Fine, then tomorrow I'll go back to the Du family, and you stay home for a few more years and be filial to your parents!"
