Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 1250: Marriage Recovered Through Fraud (16)
It was Shi Chu's first time to visit his uncle's house in Duzhou. Because it was a wedding banquet, it was very lively. In addition to the villagers from Uncle Chen's village, there were other relatives who came to the wedding. The Du family alone had a large family, and the house was noisy.
When people at the same table asked her all kinds of questions, she felt a little regretful. If she had known that she would be gossiped about at a wedding, she would not have come.
Fortunately, after she said a few words with a cold face, clearly showing that she didn't want to talk, those people, although they didn't like her arrogance and aloofness, didn't bother talking to her anymore, and Shi Chu's ears finally got some peace and quiet.
The wedding at that time was very simple. The bride was picked up from her parents' home by the groom. After the newlyweds expressed their desire to build a family and grow up together in front of everyone, the ceremony was over and it was time for everyone to laugh and eat and drink.
"Which cousin of yours is getting married?" Shi Chu asked Du Zhou, who finally had some free time to sit down.
"It's my third cousin." Duzhou replied indifferently.
Shi Chu looked at his expression carefully and said thoughtfully: "Let me guess? He and you don't have a good relationship?"
Duzhou nodded: "It's really not good, because I can't get him into the transport team, so he thinks I look down on him and deliberately don't help him."
Shi Chu's eyes widened immediately: "How could he think you could get him into the transport team? Is it up to you, an ordinary driver, to decide whether to recruit or not?"
"You see, you can understand the truth, but he just doesn't. He just keeps saying that I look down on him because I have made progress. He ignores our relationship as relatives and refuses to help even with small favors." Duzhou's face showed an indescribable expression.
Shi Chu couldn't help but click his tongue when he heard what he said. Wow, these days, if a rural person wants to find a good job in the city, many families are willing to spend all their money to do so. But even if they spend all their money, they may not be able to get it. But this cousin of his, he insisted that Duzhou find him a job in the transport team. If he didn't, it would be a shame for him. He didn't know what to say.
Du Zhou suddenly chuckled and said to Shi Chu, "Did you know that he specifically told my mom to notify me to attend his wedding no matter what?"
"Why?" Shi Chu's eyes widened. "Is he going to reconcile with you?"
"How is that possible? He wanted to show off to me that he found a female educated youth from the city to marry, and he felt that he had won me over in the marriage matter." Duzhou looked at Shi Chu meaningfully and said.
When Shi Chu saw his eyes, she was speechless for a moment, because she remembered that the original owner was an illiterate village girl who married Duzhou only by threats. From this point of view, compared with the female educated youth, the female educated youth is naturally much better than the village girl. No wonder Duzhou's third cousin felt that he had won Duzhou.
"Marrying me would be really unfair to you." Shi Chu said dryly.
"It's good that you know." Duzhou said.
While the two of them were talking, the newlyweds came to the table to toast.
Duzhou's third cousin is called Chen Yi. He is of medium height and has a decent appearance. His face is flushed with joy, probably because of the happy event of his marriage. He looks a little proud.
He stood in front of Duzhou, holding a glass of wine, and said to him proudly: "Third cousin, it's rare that a busy man like you has time to come to my wedding. Thank you so much. Come, let's have a drink!"
"Okay, I wish you and your sister-in-law live together forever and have a baby soon." Duzhou didn't show anything and drank the wine in one gulp cooperatively.
Chen Yi also drank, then pulled the bride next to him over, glanced at Shi Chu next to Duzhou with contempt, and said, "Third cousin, I haven't introduced her to you yet. Your sister-in-law is an educated youth from the city. She is not only well-educated, but also gentle and virtuous. She is considerate and kind to me. She is much better than some illiterate shrews. Your brother is lucky to marry her..."
"Oh, then congratulations." Duzhou said lightly, as if he didn't hear the hidden meaning of flattery in his words.
Shi Chu ignored Chen Yi and looked at the bride. She keenly noticed the impatience and disgust that flashed across the bride's face when Chen Yi pulled the bride to show off. However, this emotion soon disappeared and was replaced by shyness and joy.
Shi Chu suddenly smiled meaningfully. It seemed that this bride also had a story.
"Third cousin, I'm not saying anything harsh about you, but why were you so weak in the beginning that you were controlled by a woman? It is said that if you marry the wrong woman, three generations of the family will be ruined. Look at the woman you remarried. She is far worse than your previous cousin's wife. Alas! I feel sorry for you..." Chen Yi was too proud of himself. He finally had one aspect that made him better than Duzhou, so naturally he wanted to compare them.
No matter how powerful Duzhou is, he still married a stupid village girl.
"Oh! This third cousin? You feel sorry for Duzhou, and I feel sorry for your bride too. Look, the bride is beautiful, and she is an educated youth from the city. She can read and write, and she is more than qualified to marry a city man. Why did she marry you, a farmer who has to dig for food in the fields? It's like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung, alas!" Shi Chu also shook his head and sighed.
As soon as she said this, everyone around couldn't help but burst out laughing. They looked at the ordinary Chen Yi, then at the slender and beautiful bride, and felt that Shi Chu was right. At the same time, they followed Shi Chu's words and had a question in their hearts, that is, why did the bride fall in love with the ordinary Chen Yi? There were obviously many young men in the village who were better than Chen Yi...
陈义听见她这话,顿时气得面红耳赤,他恼羞成怒地说道:“你胡说八道什么?阿青能看上我,自然是因为跟我志同道合,她喜欢的是我的内在,根本不在意其他!你这个泼妇,果然不愧是能逼着杜州娶你的恶妇,自己婚姻不幸福就来破坏别人的幸福?小心我揍你……”
"Third cousin, we know whether our marriage is happy or not. You don't have to be so excited. Since you and your sister-in-law are together because you share the same ideals, you don't have to take Wan Cao'er's nonsense to heart, right?" Duzhou looked at Chen Yi steadily with a cold look in his eyes.
Chen Yi's hot-blooded impulse suddenly cooled down a little. He knew that his third cousin was a ruthless person. He had a cruel heart and cruel hands when he was a child, but he pretended to be serious and no one believed that he did such bad things.
So Chen Yi had no choice but to stop and said to Shi Chu in a timid tone: "I let you go for the sake of my third cousin. You won't be so lucky next time!"
"We'll talk about it next time." Shi Chu said with a smile, not afraid of him at all.
