Chapter 241: Make Do
"Dad, why are you talking so harshly? As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the depth of the ocean by its depth. Don't judge a book by its cover; it's the inner beauty that counts. Some people can't just be judged by their appearance, but also by their inner beauty."
"That's what you said, but how could you have the heart to do that to her when she looks like this?"
After hearing Old Man Chen ask him this, Chen Zhan finally revealed a satisfied smile. "Dad, let me ask you, why do men marry wives?"
"Needless to say, it's to continue the family line and keep the bed warm."
"Yes, Dad, you hit the nail on the head." Chen Zhancai couldn't help but recall the scene of his first meeting with Ruhua...
It was one night three years ago.
After he and his classmates had a good meal and a few drinks, they were urged to go to Chunfeng Tower.
After he arrived, he found that all his classmates had lovers, but he was the only one who was alone.
I wanted to find a pretty girl to have some fun with.
But all the girls have customers,
Chen Zhancai felt a little disappointed and just wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the greedy madam.
Tell him that there is a girl named Ruhua left in the store, who has not been picked up by any customer yet. If he is willing, he can let Ruhua stay with him for one night.
Chen Zhancai was already deeply attracted by Ruhua's name, and when he heard that she had not received any customers yet, he immediately became interested.
But when he saw Ruhua, like everyone else, he almost vomited because of her appearance.
He turned around and left without hesitation, but was stopped by the madam, who told him to make do with it.
Can we just let this go?
At that time, he really wanted to slap the brothel owner in the face.
But the madam said that although Ruhua looked a little ugly, she had everything a woman should have.
Turn off the lights and close your eyes, and everything becomes dark; all women are Yang Guifei.
If he wants, the price can be reduced by 50%.
Hearing this, he immediately changed his mind.
Chen Zhancai thought to himself, if it was usually a hundred coins, he would save half of it if it was 50% off.
He glanced at Ruhua and was a little hesitant to do it.
But then I thought, even though Ruhua is a little ugly, it is her first time after all, so she has gotten a great deal no matter how you look at it.
What's more, what the madam said makes sense, the stuff is indeed the same.
So, he twisted his nose and agreed to make do with it.
You won’t know until you try it, it’s really wonderful.
Although Ruhua has never been groomed by anyone, she has acquired many unique skills through the influence of her surroundings in the brothel.
Although Chen Zhancai had seen countless people, he was impressed by Ruhua's "Deadly Serial Eighteen Squats" from the moment he entered the room.
That's really nine shallow ones that can melt one's bones, and nine deep ones that can melt one's soul.
He didn't have to put in any effort at all, and Ruhua made him feel so comfortable all over.
It feels like floating on the clouds, the joy is beyond words...
Just this once, he was completely conquered by Ruhua, his mind filled with the gentle land that he longed for. Whenever he had time, he would go to Chunfeng Tower to have fun with Ruhua.
Gradually, he found that he could no longer leave Ruhua, and wanted to possess Ruhua, who could bring such wonderful things to others.
So he planned to redeem her and marry her...
He withdrew his thoughts and whispered in Old Man Chen's ear,
"It's because Ruhua is so good in that aspect that my son can't stop wanting her and is deeply attracted to her."
Old man Chen was puzzled for a moment, and was stunned for a moment. Then he understood it and his eyes lit up.
"What's the difference between good and bad things? Aren't they all the same?"
"Dad, there's a huge difference here, but you won't understand if I explain it in detail. Anyway, it can be summed up in four words: wonderful."
"Yes, yes, this kind of thing is hard to explain. Just keep it to yourself. To be honest, Dad has lived his life in vain." Old Man Chen said as he looked at Old Lady Chen. His attitude took a 180-degree turn.
"Okay, old woman, as the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife, not a pretty one. I think our daughter-in-law is pretty good. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go say hello to your daughter-in-law!"
Old Mrs. Chen was reluctant, but she couldn't resist her son's love for it, and she had no choice but to nod and agree.
She twisted her nose and turned to Ruhua, forcing a smile.
"My dear daughter, you will be the daughter-in-law of our Chen family in the future."
"Thank you, mother. I will definitely be filial to you in the future. If you are too old to move, I will wash your clothes and cook for you. If you are paralyzed in bed, I will take care of your excrement and urine. If you..."
"Okay, okay, stop it." Before Ruhua could finish her words, Old Lady Chen raised her hand to interrupt her, "Ruhua, stop talking. If you continue, you'll send my old bones away. I hope Mom is well!"
Ruhua laughed, "Mom is right, you are still fine. If you really were paralyzed on the kang, you might as well die to save yourself the suffering."
Old Mrs. Chen was completely speechless. She couldn't understand whether her son was stupid or not. It wouldn't be a big deal if he married an ugly second wife, but why was he still a bit stupid?
Seeing her in a daze, Chen Zhancai hurriedly explained with a smile, "Mom, Ruhua is straightforward and speaks like that. Don't take it to heart."
"Okay, I won't take it to heart." Old Mrs. Chen nodded repeatedly. She didn't want to talk to Ruhua anymore and pointed at Old Man Chen. "This is your father."
Ruhua bowed deeply to Old Man Chen and shouted in a loud voice, "Dad, I am Ruhua. I will definitely be filial to you. If you..."
"Okay, okay, don't say any more. Dad understands what you mean." Old Man Chen didn't want to hear those unlucky words, so he quickly stopped Ruhua and pointed at Liu Fengjiao, saying, "This is Fengjiao. From now on, you two should call each other sisters. Together, you will take care of my son Zhancai and strive to help him pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. Understand?"
"Dad, your daughter-in-law has taken note of this."
Ruhua nodded towards Liu Fengjiao and greeted her loudly, "Hello, sister. I'm new here. I hope you'll be more tolerant in the future."
Seeing Ruhua's appearance, Liu Fengjiao blamed herself even more. It was all her fault that she had hardly let Chen Zhancai touch her for the past six months. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so desperate to find such an ugly girl.
How hungry and thirsty must you be to be able to eat this!
Liu Fengjiao forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, sister. We sisters will help each other in the future."
At this time, the villagers were already starving and had no time to watch the excitement. They started shouting,
"Is it not over yet? It's already so late, let's eat!"
"That's right, stop poking around here and hurry up and get to the 28th table. We're so hungry we're seeing stars."
"Of course I am. I still have a lot of work to do at home. I have to work after dinner!"
......
Hearing everyone's dissatisfaction, Old Lady Chen quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone go back and take your seats. We will start the wedding banquet right away."
Although Liu Fengjiao was so angry that she gritted her teeth just now, she immediately lost her temper when she saw Ruhua's appearance. She walked up to Ruhua, exchanged some false politeness, and walked into the house arm in arm.
Seeing that everyone had returned to their seats, Old Lady Chen said to Old Man Chen, "The banquet will begin."
"Okay! I'll be right there." Old Man Chen shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hurry up and serve the food!"
