Xu Yan received all the memories of her parents from the original owner of the body. In the original owner's memories, there were only various scenes of her parents being kind to her, and there was no impression of her slapping the table.

“Let’s go, we’ll go to the educated youth settlement now,” Chen Lihua said coldly, her posture suggesting she could rush out and smash Han Xiaoyu to pieces at any moment.

“Yes,” Xu Cangsong’s face was also very ugly. “Initially, their family took the initiative to come to our door to propose marriage, but they ended up doing this.”

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave the main room, Xu Yan quickly gave Xie Zhu a look, and the two of them went up to stop them.

"Dad, Mom," Xu Yan said, blocking their way.

"You still have feelings for him?"

Chen Lihua's brows were tightly furrowed, as if she would slap Xu Yan across the face regardless of their family ties if he dared to admit it.

"No, no," Xu Yan said, turning to Xie Zhuo as soon as she asked the question, seemingly feeling guilty. "How could I possibly be interested in him? I'm not a simp!"

"What dog?" Xu Yan mumbled the second half of his sentence, and Chen Lihua didn't hear it clearly.

“He’s no dog at all,” Xu Yan pulled Chen Lihua further into the house. “I’m already married, how could I still be thinking about him?”

Chen Lihua then remembered to look at Xie Zhuo's expression.

Xie Zhuo remained calm.

She even lowered her eyelids slightly when she looked over, appearing somewhat aggrieved.

Xu Yan: "..."

She forgot that when she first officially met Xie Zhuo, he put on a show in front of everyone.

I must say, he really did a pretty good job of acting out being injured.

I just don't know if her parents will...

"Look at me, I'm just talking nonsense," Chen Lihua said somewhat embarrassedly, looking at Xie Zhuo's expression. "Now that you're married, you'll definitely settle down and live a peaceful life, and you wouldn't be thinking about anyone else."

Xu Cangsong also coughed lightly.

The four of them stood awkwardly at the door for a while, then turned around and sat back down in their chairs.

However, the table that was placed between them was now lying on the ground, and Da Bao and Xiao Bao were squatting there head to head, seemingly studying something.

It's hard to ignore Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong.

"Dad, Mom," Xie Zhuo called out, breaking the silence.

They both looked up at Xie Zhuo at the same time.

"I know you're angry, and I know you really want to seek justice for Yan Yan..." Xie Zhuo glanced at Xu Yan and continued, "...to get justice for Yan Yan."

Yan Yan?

Xu Yan suddenly turned her head and stared at Xie Zhuo.

Xie Zhuo continued without changing his expression, "But we can't just go like this. The villagers are nosy. If everyone knows that Yan Yan was engaged before, it will probably cause gossip."

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong remained silent.

They were both so angry that they couldn't control their tempers, which is why they thought of going directly to Han Xiaoyu and the group of educated youth at the educated youth settlement to settle scores.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it, I really can't just go looking for her like this. Even if I do, I can't mention that Yan Yan and Han Xiaoyu were engaged.

After all, they've had a good tiff, but Yan Yan still has to stay here and live her life; they can't leave her with a mess.

“We must seek justice,” Xie Zhuo said, “but there’s no rush. We need to discuss this matter in detail.”

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong nodded at the same time.

“Well, I think you two haven’t eaten yet,” Xie Zhuo suggested. “Why don’t we eat first, rest for a bit, and then go over?”

Perhaps it was Xie Zhuo's soothing tone that made them both nod at the same time.

Then, Xie Zhuo stood up, picked up Da Bao and Xiao Bao and put them aside, and bent down to tidy up the table that had been through the "storm" on the ground. As he carried them out, he did not forget to tell Xu Yan to keep the two elders company while he went to cook.

As she spoke, she went to the kitchen.

When Da Bao and Xiao Bao saw that their "toys" had been moved away, they couldn't stay in the house any longer and ran out to play.

The main room was instantly left with only Xu Yan and his family of three.

Chen Lihua glanced outside the door a few times, then turned back to look at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan felt embarrassed by her gaze and coughed lightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

“I always thought you had bad taste,” Chen Lihua said. “You can’t even pick a good guy. There are so many good young men in the compound, but you had to pick someone who’s no good at anything.”

Xu Yan: "..."

“This one looks alright,” Chen Lihua said.

After saying that, seeing that Xu Yan didn't speak, he asked again, "Has he been cooking for you all since you got married?"

“We just got married yesterday,” Xu Yan said, snapping out of her daze.

"So he cooked all the meals from yesterday to today?" Chen Lihua asked in a different phrasing.

“Yes,” Xu Yan nodded, “He was afraid I would burn the kitchen down, so he’s been cooking by himself.”

Chen Lihua looked at Xu Cangsong, then turned her gaze to Xu Yan, "In this respect, you are better than your father. If it were your father, he wouldn't even go into the kitchen, let alone set the kitchen on fire. Even if the whole house were set on fire, he wouldn't go into the kitchen."

"Hey," Xu Cangsong said, not expecting to be dragged into this even though he hadn't said a word. "We're talking about the kids, why are you dragging me into this?"

Chen Lihua continued, "We asked around on the way here, and everyone said he gave a bride price according to city custom and also bought a three-round-one-sound system?"

“Hmm,” Xu Yan nodded, then shook her head halfway through, “I didn’t buy a sewing machine, and I don’t know how to use it, so I didn’t ask him to buy one.”

Chen Lihua wanted to say, "Silly girl, if you can't do it now, you will be able to later."

But when he thought about how he had taught her to knit sweaters for several months and she still hadn't learned, he didn't say anything more.

“Then,” Chen Lihua thought of Da Bao and Xiao Bao, “after he bought all these things…”

Chen Lihua wanted to ask Xie Zhuo how much wealth he still had and whether he was facing any financial difficulties.

In this era, most people don't have much money, let alone someone like Xie Zhuo, who has a few people left in his family and two babies to feed. After paying the bride price and buying a few big items, he'll probably be in deep debt.

What kind of situation is this?

When it comes time to pay back the money, won't her daughter still have to pay it back along with her?

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong not only didn't want the bride price money for themselves, but they also wanted to give the couple some extra money.

Life in the countryside is tough, and they don't want their daughter, whom they've cherished for almost twenty years, to suffer.

well!

Although Chen Lihua was not generally opposed to Xie Zhuo, she felt sad at the thought of Xu Yan settling down in the countryside and living a hard life.

He wished he could rush to the educated youth settlement and slap Han Xiaoyu a few times.

If it weren't for that kid, would their precious daughter have come to this poor, remote place?

Xu Yan had no idea that Chen Lihua had thought so much in just a few words, and he quietly beckoned to the two of them with his finger.

Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong moved closer to her.

“He was very rich. His parents and brother left him a lot of money back then,” Xu Yan said, without mentioning Xie Zhuoxiu’s watch and radio or the fact that they sold the century-old wild ginseng. He only vaguely mentioned that it was left by his parents.

The fewer people who know about those things, the better.
