Zhuang Tunan worked overtime during the New Year and injured his leg. He accompanied his parents back to the alley. Although Li Jia wanted to walk with him, his family always opposed it. Lin Dongzh...
Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly said, "Xiang Dong! At first I couldn't accept it either, but the facts are the facts. Pengfei is not a bad person. He was just helping Tu Nan's girlfriend and accidentally hurt Tu Nan. Although Tu Nan was hurt because he was pursuing Pengfei, Pengfei didn't mean it!"
Xiang Dong cried as he said to Zhuang Chaoying, "Brother, my heart aches! It's not easy for our child to grow up and go to school! He finally got a good job, and now this has happened. It's all because of our Pengfei. How can we forgive ourselves!"
"Alright! We're family, why hold grudges among family members! Huang Ling, find them some dry clothes to change into, and I'll go pour them some hot water to warm them up. It's the middle of winter, why is it raining like this!"
So Huang Ling went to look for dry clothes, and Zhuang Chaoying went to fetch water.
Xiang Dong bowed his head and said to Zhuang Tunan, "I'm sorry, Tunan! It's all your uncle's fault, please don't hold a grudge against Pengfei!"
Zhuang Tunan smiled and said, "I never held a grudge against Pengfei, Uncle, don't overthink it. Let's chat again after you change your clothes!"
"well!"
When Zhou Yuxiang returned home, she went to look for her household registration booklet, only to find Zhou Chengzhi sitting on the sofa, smoking silently without saying a word.
Zhou Yuxiang searched the house for nearly half an hour but couldn't find the household registration booklet. Helpless, she went to Zhou Chengzhi and said, "Brother, where is our household registration booklet?"
Zhou Chengzhi glared at him and said, "What are you going to do?"
Zhou Yuxiang sat next to Zhou Chengzhi and said with a smile, "I want to marry Pengfei!"
"Marriage? I think we should forget about it!"
"What? Bro!"
Zhou Yuxiang looked at Zhou Chengzhi in surprise and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you introduce me to Pengfei and ask us to get married?"
Zhou Chengzhi, still smoking, said, "That was before. Now I've changed my mind. I'll introduce you to another boyfriend tomorrow!"
"Brother! I'm your sister, not some commodity or gift that you can just give to whomever you want."
"Our parents are gone, and as the eldest brother, you are like a father to us, so you should listen to me!"
"I can listen to you on anything, big or small, but when it comes to marriage, I will only marry Pengfei!"
Zhou Chengzhi threw the cigarette butt heavily on the ground, stomped on it, and shouted angrily, "I disagree!"
"Brother, why is this happening? Aren't you two getting along just fine, like brothers?"
"He's preventing me from getting rich, and I just won't agree!"
"If he's hindering your legitimate business, I support you. But if it's illegal business, I support Pengfei!"
"A horse won't get fat without night grass. Now that we've reformed and opened up, who doesn't want to make money? If you get caught, it's called smuggling; if you don't, you'll become rich overnight."
"Brother, you're being unreasonable!"
"Hmph, no matter what you say today, I still won't agree, unless Pengfei gives me a transport route to transport mobile phones and pagers!"
"Brother, if you keep pushing Pengfei like this, I'll separate from you, open a new household registration, and marry Xiang Pengfei!"
Zhou Chengzhi said angrily, "You dare! The moment you marry him, I'll break his legs and make him spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, just like Zhuang Tunan!"
Zhou Yuxiang looked at Zhou Chengzhi as if she didn't recognize him and said, "I believe you have the ability, but if it happens, you will lose this girl, and you will never see me again!"
After saying that, Zhou Yuxiang turned and walked out. Zhou Chengzhi looked up and shouted, "Where are you going? Come back here!"
Zhou Yuxiang glanced at Zhou Chengzhi with disdain and said, "I'm going to work, it's none of your business!"
"It's already dark, and it's raining so hard, what the hell are you doing going to work!"
"None of your business!"
As she spoke, Zhou Yuxiang disappeared into the night, amidst the heavy rain.
Zhou Chengzhi remained seated on the sofa, his hands clasped behind his head, pondering how to seize a transportation line from Xiang Pengfei.
Returning to the Zhuang family, Zhuang Hualin and Xiang Dong had already changed into dry clothes and were chatting with Zhuang Chaoying and his wife. Suddenly, a strange noise came from the door, and Xiang Pengfei was seen standing in the doorway, also soaking wet.
Xiang Pengfei said, "Dad, Mom, let's go back! It's raining so hard, why are you bothering my uncle and aunt?"
Zhuang Hualin glared at him and said, "Who told you to do something so heartless!"
"Mom, I didn't mean it. How was I supposed to know that it was Brother Tu Nan on duty?"
"That won't do either, wrong is wrong!"
Zhuang Chaoying quickly said, "Alright! Stop complaining! Go back and rest, we still have things to do!"
Zhuang Hualin reluctantly started walking outside, but after taking only two steps, he said, "Pengfei, do you have something to say to your uncle and aunt?"
Perhaps Xiang Pengfei was confused by the rain, for he didn't think about getting the marriage certificate for a moment, and said with a blank look, "No, no!"
Zhuang Hualin quickly reminded him, "About you and Yuxiang!"
"oh!"
Xiang Pengfei then seemed to wake up from a dream and said with a smile, "It's like this, Uncle and Aunt, Yuxiang has agreed to get our marriage certificate. We'll get it tomorrow, and the wedding will be in a few days. Please come to the wedding banquet then!"
Zhuang Chaoying also said, "Really? That's great! Your marriage has been a worry for me. Now that you're married, I can finally relax!"
Huang Ling chimed in, "Yes, yes, I wish you a son soon and a long and happy marriage!"
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!"
Zhuang Tunan said from the side, "Come back and rest early! It's so cold, and with the rain, it's easy to catch a cold!"
Xiang Pengfei turned around and found that the rain had stopped, so he quickly said, "It's not raining anymore!"
Huang Ling quickly replied, "Really? That's great! I was just worried about how to get to the post office tomorrow! Now that the rain has stopped, everything will be fine!"
Xiang Pengfei picked up his parents from the farm and took them back to his newly bought house. Then he rushed back to the company because he was afraid that if Zhou Yuxiang returned to the company and he wasn't there, she might overthink things.
When Xiang Pengfei returned to the company, he saw the office light was on and knew that Zhou Yuxiang had returned, so he quickly walked into the office.
At this moment, Zhou Yuxiang was soaking wet and was crying while lying on the table.
Xiang Pengfei asked, puzzled, "Yuxiang, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"
With teary eyes, Zhou Yuxiang looked up at Xiang Pengfei and said, "Pengfei, my brother...!"
What's wrong with him?
"He doesn't agree to our marriage and won't give me my household registration book!"
"Ah! Why?"
"He said you need to provide him with a transportation route to transport mobile phones and pagers!"
"I'm not cooperating with him for his own good; it's illegal, and I could easily get arrested!"
"I know that, but what he said is that a horse won't get fat without night grass, and if you catch him, it's a crime, but if you don't, you'll become rich overnight!"
"What does he know! The police have been watching him for a while now, and they even questioned me. If it weren't for your sake, I would have exposed him long ago!"
"I know, Pengfei, you're doing this for my own good, but my brother doesn't agree. I have no choice. He won't give me my household registration book, so we can't get married!"
Xiang Pengfei sat on the sofa, dumbfounded, and muttered, "What should we do?"
"My brother said he doesn't agree and he's going to introduce me to a boyfriend!"
"What? How could he do this? He knows we're a loving couple!"
"What can I do? He's the kind of person who'll do anything for money. There's nothing I can do!"
"Does this mean we really can't be together?"
"No, how about I give myself to you tonight, and we make it a fait accompli?"
Pengfei looked at Zhou Yuxiang and shook his head vigorously, saying, "No, no, I can't do that. It will hurt you. I don't agree!"
"Pengfei!"
Zhou Yuxiang stood up, walked to Xiang Pengfei's side, hugged him, and kissed him passionately.
Xiang Pengfei continued to obstruct Zhou Yuxiang, saying, "No, don't do this, Yuxiang!"
