Chapter 186 Why Is It Always You?

Meng Wanshu couldn't help but smack her lips.

She hadn't eaten braised food for a while.

When Zhang Dashun was still alive, she would occasionally buy food from him. But after that idiot Zhang Dashun was arrested, Zhang Chunxue started selling braised food, and Meng Wanshu never ate it again.

Even the braised dishes that Zhong Chengren unintentionally bought from Zhang Chunxue last time, Meng Wanshu refused to eat a single bite out of spite.

Hearing Zhong Chengren mention that there were places selling braised dishes in the county town, Meng Wanshu really started to crave them.

She immediately gave Zhong Chengren a push: "Go buy it quickly! Remember to buy some braised meat, I love braised meat."

"Alright!" Zhong Chengren immediately rushed into the crowd.

He was still thinking that the people in this county town were not as well-mannered as the people in his town!

At least now people in town are lining up!

However, Zhong Chengren was no pushover either; he kept squeezing in, causing those around him to complain.

"What's the rush! Are you in such a hurry to be reborn?"

"Who's pushing?! I'm about to fall over!"

"It's not like we can't buy them... Stop fucking pushing!"

Zhong Chengren ignored all of that and focused solely on squeezing his way in.

After finally squeezing to the front, he saw a large pot of stewed pork in front of him.

"Huh? You sell braised pork offal too!" Zhong Chengren said with some surprise. "I thought only my mom did it..."

He froze halfway through his sentence.

No way... it really is fucking true, right?

The more Zhong Chengren looked at the pot, the more familiar it seemed; it looked exactly like Zhang Chunxue's pot.

Most importantly, the aroma wafting out is quite similar!

He swallowed hard, carefully turned his head to the side, and saw Zhang Chunxue staring at him expressionlessly.

"Why is it always you?" Zhang Chunxue's tone was full of displeasure. "Didn't I tell you? Go and line up!"

Zhong Chengren's mouth opened and closed: "I...I..."

He wanted to say that no one else was in line either, but seeing his mother wielding a kitchen knife, looking like she'd kill him if he didn't obey, he could only smile bitterly.

"Mom, would you believe me if I said I just came to watch the fun?"

"If you're here to watch the show, then get out of here!" Zhang Chunxue's tone was even more gloomy. "Don't delay my business!"

Zhong Chengren immediately nodded and bowed: "Okay, okay, Mom, I'll be right there!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Zhong Chengren quickly ran to Meng Wanshu's side: "Let's go, let's go, let's get out of here!"

Meng Wanshu still looked puzzled: "Didn't you say you were going to buy braised food? Where's the braised food?"

"You even bought braised food!" Zhong Chengren said with a bitter face. "That's my mom!"

Meng Wanshu: "???"

"Didn't your mother sell her goods in town? How did she end up in the county?" Meng Wanshu asked, puzzled.

She was actually a little intimidated by Zhang Chunxue, so she listened to Zhong Chengren and the two quickly left the supply and marketing cooperative.

"No wonder!" she exclaimed, as if she had just remembered something. "No wonder that little bitch Zhou Mingli has been running the grain and oil station all by herself these past few days!"

"So your mother ran away to the county!"

Zhong Chengren's face turned green again: "So you knew all along, but you didn't tell me!"

Meng Wanshu rolled her eyes: "I already said, I don't want to talk about your mother!"

"Alright, alright!" Zhong Chengren said impatiently. "Let's hurry back! It'll be a while before we get back! We can go to the brigade headquarters and get our marriage certificate while we're there!"

The two got on their bicycles and began their arduous journey home.

Passing by the commune headquarters, Zhong Chengren's car made a turn and drove straight past.

After parking the car, he was about to go inside when he heard voices coming from inside.

"Director Song, we're practically in-laws, can't you help me with this?"

Song Xingzhi's indifferent voice rang out: "Who said we're proper in-laws?"

The woman's voice came again: "Oh dear! Director Song, what are you saying... We only found out about your marriage to Aunt Zhang later, otherwise we would definitely have come to your wedding!"

Song Xingzhi's tone remained indifferent: "I think it's best if you don't come."

Sister-in-law Li's expression froze instantly.

She just couldn't understand why Song Xingzhi was so stubborn!

You know, she definitely agreed to let Li Hongjuan go back to Zhong Chengfa's house, wasn't she just hoping that Zhang Chunxue would marry Song Xingzhi so that they could also benefit from it?

Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Li is still a little angry!

Although she bet on the right thing—that Song Xingzhi and Zhang Chunxue would get married—Li Hongjuan must have known about their marriage long ago, yet she didn't even bother to come home and let them know!

By the time they received the news, it was already that afternoon! The ceremony was already over!

Because of this, Sister-in-law Li often scolded Li Hongjuan at home.

The main reason they came to the brigade headquarters today is to get a batch of better seeds for their village.

She boasted to the village chief that she would definitely bring back the good seeds!

You know, the village chief promised that once this superior seed is brought back, he will make her a squad leader!

Sister-in-law Li is really looking forward to it!

But who would have thought that Song Xingzhi would have such an attitude?

Just as she was about to continue her entanglement, Zhong Chengren brought Meng Wanshu in.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's just my sister-in-law's family!" Zhong Chengren's tone was full of sarcasm. "Speaking of which, wasn't this sister-in-law someone my mother insisted my brother divorce? And she dares to call herself a proper in-law?"

He sized up Sister-in-law Li from head to toe, his eyes practically rolling to the sky: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!"

He turned to look at Song Xingzhi, his face full of flattery: "Dad, are you busy? Wan Shu and I are here to get our marriage certificate..."

Sister-in-law Li's face immediately darkened.

Bah! You dare call me shameless! You're the shameless one!

Your father has only been dead for a few years, and now you call him "Dad" all the time, even more affectionately than your own father.

Song Xingzhi's attitude remained indifferent: "Hmm."

"Go to the next room to register your marriage."

Zhong Chengren immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Okay, okay, we'll go right away!"

As he spoke, he pulled Meng Wanshu to the next room.

Just as Sister-in-law Li was about to continue arguing, Song Xingzhi spoke up: "Xiao Zeng, take her out! Our brigade headquarters doesn't practice favoritism!"

"Hey!" Before Sister-in-law Li could say anything, Xiao Zeng came in and pulled her aside, saying, "Sister-in-law, if you have nothing else to do, come out first! Other people still need to handle their business!"

"I haven't finished my business yet!" Sister-in-law Li refused to leave no matter what.

Now Zeng got annoyed too, and dragged Li's wife out.
