Chapter 181 You Are My Wife

Chen Lan was frightened by her father's stern look and shrank her neck. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she still held her neck stiff and refused to lower her head.

Why are you being so mean to her? She didn't say anything wrong.

That was the way it was. Sister Manman and Brother Zhengnian were so good to each other back then.

It was all because of the woman in front of them, who intervened and ruined their lives.

Chen Lan didn't think about it. This was a marriage, not a child's game of house.

When Chen Zhengnian gets married, of course he wants to marry someone he likes, not someone someone else likes.

Auntie San quickly tried to smooth things over: "Children are ignorant. Xinxin, don't take it to heart. Come, go inside and change your clothes. I have a new floral jacket that will definitely fit you."

After saying that, she hurriedly pulled Wang Xinxin into the inner room, muttering to herself.

"This child has been spoiled. Just wait and see how I'll deal with her when I get back! Xinxin, I'm so sorry for making you suffer."

When Wang Xinxin was pushed into the inner room, she could still hear her uncle scolding his daughter outside.

Third Aunt fished out a clean coat and handed it to her. She also took a towel and asked her to wipe her face. Her face was full of guilt. "Xinxin, don't be angry with the child. Lanlan has been close to Manman since she was a child. She cried several times when Manman left. She must be feeling upset."

"But your Third Uncle and I think the same thing. Marriage is about mutual consent. It doesn't mean that just because someone has a good relationship with someone else, they can be together."

"I see."

Wang Xinxin changed her wet clothes, and the grievance in her heart gradually dissipated.

After all, Chen Lan was just a child who was kept in the dark.

It's no use arguing with her.

When she changed her clothes and came out, Chen Lan had already been locked in the room by her uncle.

Uncle San rubbed his hands together, his face full of apology: "Xinxin, I'm so sorry for scaring you."

"Uncle San, please don't say that."

Wang Xinxin smiled and said, "Children are ignorant. I won't take it to heart."

Aunt San brought some sliced ​​watermelon and poured Wang Xinxin a cup of brown sugar water: "Drink something to warm yourself up, don't catch a cold."

Several people sat down to talk again, and Uncle Three and Aunt Three deliberately avoided the topic of Chen Man.

They pulled Wang Xinxin aside to ask about her family situation, and said that Chen Zhengnian had been sensible since he was a child, but he was a little dull, so she had to be more tolerant in the future.

Wang Xinxin responded one by one, and her heart gradually warmed up.

It seems that what Mother Chen said was right. Most people in the Chen family are sensible.

As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate. Chen Zhengnian walked in quickly and was obviously relieved to see that Wang Xinxin was fine.

"Is it done?"

"Yeah, just a little thing."

Chen Zhengnian walked over to Wang Xinxin and asked in a low voice, "Is everything okay?"

Wang Xinxin shook her head: "It's fine. Uncle and Aunt are very nice to me."

Auntie San smiled and said, "Zhengnian, you're finally here. Lanlan was ignorant just now and made Xinxin feel wronged. You have to comfort her."

Chen Zhengnian looked at Wang Xinxin, his eyes full of heartache.

He knew that Wang Xinxin had been very upset today, but she didn't complain at all.

"I failed to protect you."

He held Wang Xinxin's hand and said in a low voice: "I won't do that again."

Wang Xinxin felt warm in her heart and held his hand tightly: "I'm really fine."

Uncle and Auntie San wanted to invite Wang Xinxin and the others to have dinner at their home. They were so enthusiastic that they couldn't refuse, so they had to eat here.

When we got back, it was already getting dark.

On the third day after her wedding, Wang Xinxin went back to her parents' home and started packing her things.

For my cousin Su Tang and Lu Chengan, for my aunt and uncle, and for my mother.

When Chen Zhengnian came in from outside, he saw Wang Xinxin lying in front of the table, folding a pile of colorful fabrics into categories.

The sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on the top of her hair, making each hair clearly visible. He walked over and gently put his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.

"What are you busy with?"

His voice was slightly hoarse, and his breath smelled of grass.

Wang Xinxin turned her head to avoid the tickling sensation on his neck, her fingertips tapping on a piece of aqua-green silk. "This is for my cousin's wife to make a new dress. She kept asking for a shiny material last time."

There were already two bags of brown sugar and malt sugar for Lu Chengan in the bamboo basket on the corner of the table.

Chen Zhengnian reached out and picked up a piece of ginger-colored corduroy, stroking the grain of the fabric with his fingertips: "This will be perfect for making a padded jacket for your aunt."

He remembered that Wang Xinxin mentioned that his aunt had chronic cold legs and was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed last winter.

Wang Xinxin's eyes lit up: "How did you know?"

She never talked in detail about the preferences of her family relatives.

"You mentioned it last time."

Chen Zhengnian lowered his head and pecked her earlobe lightly: "I remember everything you said."

Wang Xinxin's ears flushed red. She pushed him away and stood up: "Go away, you reek of sweat."

Having said that, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He turned around and put the corduroy he chose into another bag.

The next morning, Chen Zhengnian stood at the gate of the yard pushing a bicycle. Four bulging bundles were tied to the back seat, and two strings of bacon were hanging on the handlebars.

Wang Xinxin was wearing a newly made moon-white cheongsam with a light blue short jacket over it. When she walked in front of him, he reached out to stop her.

"Wait." He took out a red cloth bag from his pocket and opened it to reveal a pair of silver bracelets.

"I asked a silversmith to make it a few days ago. It's for your mother."

"you……"

"Don't overthink it."

Chen Zhengnian put the bracelet into her hand: "The ones on our mother's hand are all old."

He straightened the collar of her cheongsam, his fingertips accidentally brushing her collarbone: "Let's go, the sooner we go, the sooner we'll be back."

In the Lu family's small courtyard, everyone knew early on that they were coming back.

Su Tang held Lu Chengan in her arms and looked at the two people who walked in.

"Oh, my big baby Cheng'an."

Wang Xinxin came straight towards Lu Chengan, who couldn't speak yet and could only spit in her face.

Lu Cheng'an was held in Wang Xinxin's arms, his little arms and legs fluttering, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth onto her moon-white cheongsam.

Su Tang smiled and joked, "Look at our Cheng'an. He's so enthusiastic when he knows that his cousin brought some good things."

Wang Xinxin freed one hand and pinched the little guy's chubby face: "We Cheng'an are loved by everyone."

As she spoke, she handed the malt sugar in the bamboo basket to Su Tang.

"Cousin, this is for Cheng'an. Remember not to let him eat too much, otherwise his teeth will be damaged."

Su Tang took it and nodded with a smile: "I know, you, as my cousin, care more about me than my biological mother."

She turned to look at Chen Zhengnian: "Brother Chen, come in and sit down. My dad just made some new tea."

Chen Zhengnian responded and followed Wang Xinxin inside.

Wang Xinxin's mother heard the noise and came out from the kitchen. Seeing the two of them, her face was full of smiles: "You're back. Come sit down and have a rest. The meal will be ready soon."

"Mom, we brought you something."

As Wang Xinxin spoke, she took out the silver bracelet made by Chen Zhengnian and handed it to her mother.

"Do you think this bracelet is beautiful?"
