In the 21st century, Chen Qingqing transmigrated to become cannon fodder in Nanshan Village of the Great Ning Dynasty. In a year of famine and a waning moon, her wicked grandmother, to support her ...
Chapter 240: Turtle and Green Bean are in love
This shout startled the unprepared old lady Chen, but she quickly reacted and a kind smile appeared on her face.
"You are a straightforward child, not pretentious. This personality is very much to my liking. I like it."
Old Lady Chen praised the bride while taking her hand and patting it gently.
Looking at the hands that were even bigger than hers, Old Lady Chen couldn't stop laughing and continued,
"Just look at these hands and you'll know you're a blessed child. Serve Zhancai well at home. Mother won't treat you unfairly. Come on, let me see what you look like..."
Liu Fengjiao's sallow face was so red that tears could be seen coming out of her eyes. Her mother-in-law was clearly making fun of her.
How can she be so lucky for such a stupid fool? I really don’t know when her mother-in-law went blind.
When the bride heard the compliments from Old Lady Chen, her face was filled with smiles under her veil.
The sisters in Chunfeng Tower all said that the scholar's mother was the most difficult to get along with, but it seems that it was all a rumor.
She was delighted, and without waiting for Old Lady Chen to do anything, she suddenly pulled off her veil, grinning widely and laughing.
"Mom, I am your new daughter-in-law, Ruhua."
When Old Mrs. Chen suddenly saw the bride's appearance, she shuddered with fear and quickly retracted her hands.
Old man Chen was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He stood there like an idiot, unable to utter a word.
The children who came with their parents to the feast were watching the excitement in front of the sedan chair. When they saw the bride take off her veil, they quickly huddled in their mother's arms, covered their eyes, and dared not look at her anymore.
"Mom, the bride is so ugly, she looks like Ma Gao'er. I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mother is here. That's not Ma Gao'er. She just looks a bit like a man in a woman's body."
"What is that?"
"It's just a woman's body and a man's face."
"Will she eat people?"
"Don't be afraid, she doesn't eat people."
The onlookers all gasped in surprise. The bride had thick eyebrows and big eyes. If she grew a beard, she would look like a man.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qingqing was reminded of Ruhua who picked her nose in the classic movie. She tried hard to hold back her laughter, but her shoulders couldn't help shaking.
Although this Ruhua is not the same as that Ruhua, it is not much better either. Except for the lack of beard, they do have some similarities.
Chen Zhancai's taste is really heavy. It would be fine if he married a second wife, but why did he bring back such a woman?
It seems that Chen Zhancai is quite satisfied with her. I don’t know what is so special about Ruhua that Chen Zhancai is so fascinated by her that he wants to stick his eyes to her.
With such an unreliable man and marrying such a strange woman, Liu Fengjiao's future life will be difficult...
At this time, the crowd watching was already in an uproar.
"Oh my God! This bride looks so manly."
"Yeah, it's such a nice name. Ruhua, I think Big Winter Melon is more suitable."
"That's right. I was envious of them just now, but now I feel a little sick. How can I bring myself to do this?"
"That's right, it seems that the scholar has a bit strong taste. What's the difference between him and the masters?"
"You can't say that. There's a huge difference here. You never know what special skills they have!"
"Come on, if you really want to be special, you two will have to fight!"
"Haha, you are quite serious. As the saying goes, different people have different tastes. The tortoise and the mung bean are attracted to each other. The scholar likes this. Why are you worrying about it?"
......
It took Mrs. Chen a while to recover from her shock. She pointed at Ruhua and asked Chen Zhancai, "Son, who do you think this is?"
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you so excited that you're confused? She's your new daughter-in-law, Ruhua!"
"This is the surprise you gave me? It's clearly a shock!"
Old Mrs. Chen rubbed her hands and stamped her feet, pulled him closer, and said in a low voice,
"My dear son, I don't object if you want to marry a concubine, but you have to marry someone who is pretty good. Why did you bring such an ugly woman back home? Are you trying to scare the couple to death?"
Chen Zhancai's face immediately darkened. "Mom, how can you judge someone by appearance? Although Ruhua looks rough, she has a kind of charm that makes people fall in love with her. Forget it, you won't understand what I'm telling you. Anyway, I like her."
"Son, I don't understand, but this girl is really not that good-looking. To put it bluntly, she's uglier than your father thinks. Don't get carried away. Listen to me. Okay, send this girl away!"
"I redeemed Ruhua from Chunfeng Tower. Where do you want me to send her to?" Chen Zhancai blurted out in excitement.
Old Mrs. Chen was startled when she heard this. "It was redeemed, where was it redeemed?"
Chen Zhancai didn't dare to tell the truth. If people knew that Ruhua was redeemed from a brothel, it would not only be an insult to his status as a scholar, but he would also be criticized and called a prodigal son who indulged in drinking, gambling and whoring.
He hurriedly explained,
"Mother, what did you hear? I mean, Ruhua has no relatives and grew up in her uncle's house. Now that I've married her, this is her home."
Old Mrs. Chen glanced at Ruhua, feeling upset, and then she advised earnestly,
"Son, I don't care what charm Ruhua has, but I know you must have lost your mind because of her. In order for you to not regret it in the future, I, as your mother, must stop this marriage..."
"Alright, mother, are you not finished yet?"
Before Mrs. Chen could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen Zhancai, who said impatiently,
"Everyone has their own preferences. I like Ruhua, who is as pretty as a fairy. I like her just like that. Can you please stop worrying about me?"
"How can you say your mother is worrying for nothing?"
Old man Chen came closer at some point, stamping his feet anxiously.
"Son, your mother is doing this for your own good. We can't accept a wife like this. Listen to what those villagers are saying. They say you have a strong taste and that you're attracted to mung beans. They're all making fun of you!"
Chen Zhancai didn't care at all. "Alright, Dad, why are you adding to the chaos? Those people are just sour grapes because they can't eat them. Who knows, they are probably envious of me in their hearts!"
"What's so good about this girl? Why did you marry such a androgynous thing?" Old man Chen looked puzzled...
