Chapter 6

Xu Shanshan sat on the sofa in Fang's house, in a daze. Opposite her sat Peng Shuya and Fang Yuanzhou, who were also in a daze.

In the room, only Fang Zhiwen looked relaxed. He walked briskly as he served tea and water, and unpacked all the snacks he had bought at Friendship Mall a few days ago and placed them on the table.

Because there were so many snacks, some of them would slide off the coffee table from time to time.

Xu Shanshan was stunned. For some reason, the package sent from the neighboring city appeared in her mind. The things inside also covered the bamboo bed in her home like this.

Are all the people in Linshi so wealthy?

Although Peng Shuya thought her son was being too playful, she had never seen him so impatient, nervous, and cautious. It was a little faster, but it was better than the years she and Lao Fang had wasted.

Since they were getting married, the parents of both families had to meet, and the auspicious date and betrothal gifts had to be discussed. Xu Shanshan rubbed her hands together, suppressing her panic and said, "Uncle, aunt, it's the busy farming season these days, and the team really can't do without people. I'll discuss the marriage with Fang Zhiwen."

Fang Yuanzhou felt that this was still too rude, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then I'll go to the factory tomorrow to make some arrangements and find time to visit your parents."

Fang Zhiwen had been paying attention to Xu Shanshan. Seeing her look troubled, he immediately interrupted, "Dad, you go do your thing. I'll go by myself."

Xu Shanshan didn't say anything, but she was still unwilling in her heart.

It wasn't that he was afraid of exposing his relationship with Zhou Kai, but Fang Zhiwen was too loose-lipped and too talkative. With such a temper, how could he be a match for Big Daddy at home?

When Xu Shanshan thought about Fang Zhiwen revealing all his family secrets like spilling beans, she felt overwhelmed.

If my family knew the Fang family's conditions, they would definitely make all kinds of demands.

If they didn't skin Fang Zhiwen alive by then, would they let him leave the village? Could they give her a certificate and let her get married simply? Haha, dream on!

The eldest and second sisters were sold for a good price at the time.

"I want to go back to the village by myself first." Xu Shanshan said stiffly.

"Hey, what's wrong with me? Why don't you take me back to the village?" Fang Zhiwen was unhappy. It was the same in his previous life. He never took him back to the village.

How is he inferior to Zhou Kai?

He couldn't get into the circle of her hometown at all. Zhou Kai always used this to ridicule himself. This woman was too, too bullying.

Peng Shuya and Fang Yuanzhou looked left and right, moved closer to the sofa, and gave the children more space to talk.

"It's not shameful, it's too shameful." Xu Shanshan glanced at the Fang family's big house and stammered.

Fang Zhiwen's anger was extinguished with just one simple sentence. He smiled and said, "Then why don't you show off a little?"

"I don't mind."

Xu Shanshan: ...

Peng Shuya:?

Fang Yuanzhou: Huh~

"Didn't we agree that I'm the head of the family? Are you trying to fool me?" The Fang family was too well-off, and Xu Shanshan didn't want to expose her family's shortcomings, so she simply used Fang Zhiwen's words to stop him.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xu Shanshan didn't expect Fang Zhiwen to agree so readily? No, no coaxing?

Peng Shuya watched with great interest the two young people sitting there discussing marriage. The strong love in her son's eyes was enough to almost drown one.

No one knows a son better than his mother. The son must be hiding something unknown in his heart.

"Okay, then let's do as Shanshan says. The two parents won't meet for now. But we can't just get married. The betrothal gifts still need to be given. Shanshan, let's follow our Linshi rules, okay?"

"Well, I'll take your word for it."

Peng Shuya's kindness made Xu Shanshan more certain of her suspicions. She immediately expressed her loyalty and said, "Don't worry, no matter what flaws Comrade Fang has, I will treat him well."

Fang Zhiwen: ???

Peng Shuya was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. She said, "Well, thank you, Shanshan."

Fang Zhiwen: ???

But my wife knows that I am in poor health, but she still sticks with me. When I think about it, it doesn’t feel bad.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go eat first. Shanshan, this is your first time in Linshi. Come on, let me take you to taste our Linshi specialties."

By this time, the story of Fang Zhiwen's proposal to marry a village girl had spread throughout the Rainbow TV Factory's staff quarters. The idle women at home would occasionally look towards Director Fang's house, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

I didn't think about waiting any longer, and watched Principal Peng gently and warmly take the village girl's arm and go downstairs.

People who don’t know the situation might think they are mother and daughter?

No, is Principal Peng mentally healthy?

"Old Xu, where are you taking care of your grandson?"

"Wei Le, congratulations on your second brother's marriage."

Peng Shuya chatted with them gently and introduced Xu Shanshan to them, emphasizing: "You can just call my Zhiwen's girlfriend Shanshan."

"Shanshan, this is Aunt Xu. This is her little grandson An'an."

"This is Wei Le, just call her sister-in-law."

After the two sides greeted each other and recognized each other, Peng Shuya and his group left the family compound.

As soon as they left, Wei Le ran home and panted, "Hey, Principal Peng actually accepted that village girl as his daughter-in-law?"

How could a village girl have such a good life?

After hearing this, Qian Fang couldn't help but sigh, "Director Fang and Principal Peng are too spoiled. How can they let Fang Zhiwen do such a big thing? Their family will suffer in the future."

No, we have been neighbors for many years and we can’t let them get cheated.

......

After dinner, Peng Shuya handed her son a wallet and asked him to take Shanshan for a walk. Fang Zhiwen accepted the wallet from his mother as if he was used to it, then turned around and extended his hand to his father. Director Fang smiled good-naturedly and handed him his wallet as well.

Xu Shanshan was stunned watching from the side.

"Shanshan, here, you manage the money in our family." Fang Zhiwen slammed the wallet into Xu Shanshan's hand, making Xu Shanshan panic.

Peng Shuya smiled and took Fang Yuanzhou's arm and went home. After they got home, Qian Fang came knocking on the door and told them everything about Xu Shanshan's background.

"Director Fang, Principal Peng, you two can't let that girl fool you. You don't know what she looks like when she threatens people. She's not a simple person."

"Sister Qian, if you have time, please educate Zhou Kai properly. One should not be too domineering." Peng Shuya said in a calm tone to make Qian Fang shut up, and then walked away with a red face.

After she left the house, she turned around and spat in the direction of Fang's house, then turned around to talk to her neighbor Sister Cao.

Fang Yuanzhou asked curiously, "Shuya, do you like Shanshan very much?"

"If my son likes it, I definitely like it. Think about it, how did Xu Shanshan know about Zhou Kai's marriage? I think it was probably your son's doing."

"I just thought it was strange, but after hearing what Qian Fang said, it made sense."

"No way? They are so far apart, how could they possibly have any connection?"

"Of course they have some connections, isn't it Zhou Kai? I was wondering why Zhiwen has been so close to Zhou Kai lately, even though he clearly hates Zhou Kai the most."

"Besides, when did my son learn to buy snacks? We always buy them for him."

To be honest, after Qian Fang came to her house and said so much, Peng Shuya actually felt relieved.

Shanshan's background is fine, she's a good person, and it's even better if she wants to marry well. Who in this world doesn't want to live a good life?

Wasn't she the same back then?

......

The next day, Xu Shanshan checked out and went home. Fang Zhiwen listlessly sent her to the East Station. Seeing that she had nothing in her hands, he said, "Shanshan, are you really not going to buy something to take back?"

"No, it's too heavy. I really can't carry it." Xu Shanshan coaxed Fang Zhiwen softly, not wanting to tell the truth.

But yesterday's shopping trip really broadened Xu Shanshan's horizons. She'd never met a man so lavish in her life. She'd only glanced at a watch twice, and the next second he'd paid for it, even claiming it would "increase in value."

Xu Shanshan couldn't contain her excitement and accepted the watch.

She thought that if Fang Zhiwen also broke off the engagement, then it would be worth getting a watch.

But the watch was too expensive and became a burden for her. She was afraid of it getting damaged while walking, or getting stolen if she bumped into someone. She had to focus all her energy on the watch, which was tiring, really tiring!

If she followed Fang Zhiwen's instructions and bought some expensive cigarettes, alcohol, and imported snacks, she really wouldn't need to sleep on the way.

Clang clang clang, the sound of the train running on the rails was heard, and the waiting crowd rushed to the platform frantically. Xu Shanshan and Fang Zhiwen bumped into each other accidentally.

Her hand was placed on Fang Zhiwen's chest, her palm touching the man's heartbeat, thump thump. She quickly withdrew her hand as if it were scalded, her cheeks flushed with shame.

"The car is here, I'm leaving." Xu Shanshan felt a little nervous for no reason, and she just wanted to escape quickly at this moment.

"Come with me."

Fang Zhiwen took her to find his cousin Zhang Lina, who happened to be a train attendant on this train. Xu Shanshan secretly looked at Zhang Lina. She had neat short hair, wore a railway uniform, had bright eyes, and spoke in a loud voice.

This is a cheerful and confident girl.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Zhang Lina shouted with a smile, then took Xu Shanshan's hand and led her to the employee-only area.

"Sister-in-law, please sit here. The water bottle contains mung bean honey water, you can drink it by yourself. You can have the staff meal with me at noon." Zhang Lina quickly settled Xu Shanshan, greeted her colleagues, and then she was too busy to turn around.

On the other side, Fang Zhiwen watched Xu Shanshan enter the carriage, and then he climbed onto the train swiftly.

Yes, he really didn't feel comfortable letting his wife go home alone, even with his cousin taking care of her.

So yesterday he used his father's back door to expedite the issuance of various certificates.

The reasons for meeting parents after marriage are legal and reasonable.

At this time he was squeezed in a corner. He could only stretch his limbs after the train had run a long way and everyone in the carriage had found a comfortable seat.

He thought of his wife's shy face and couldn't help but grinning. The woman sitting on the opposite chair looked at him and said, "Hey, young man, what are you thinking about?"

"Auntie, have some wedding candy."

"Why?"

"I'm getting married."

"Hey, young man, congratulations."
