Chapter 25 Marriage? Love?
"What? It fell into the ditch? Doesn't this thing have eyes?" Aunt Guihua couldn't help but pop her head out of the kitchen and say after hearing this.
The captain was also taken aback, but since it was a matter of life and death, he quickly got up.
"Honey, stop making sarcastic remarks. I'm going out for a bit."
The captain rushed to the ditch.
The temperature has only been a few degrees these past two days, and the fields were just watered a couple of days ago, so the water in the ditches hasn't completely receded yet. This guy is really going to suffer a lot this time.
When we arrived at the ditch, a large crowd had already gathered there.
"The captain is here, make way!"
"Old Chen, how is he?"
The captain looked at Chen Wenli, whose face was pale and whose lips were bluish-purple, and hurriedly asked.
Old Chen, the barefoot doctor of Jian'an Brigade, put away his medical baggage upon hearing this and replied calmly.
"It's nothing, you just choked on water. But just to be on the safe side, I suggest you go to a big hospital in the city to get it checked out. Choking on water can be a big or small matter. If it causes a problem with your lungs, I won't be able to find it here."
Just then, a commotion arose in the distance.
It turned out that the Chen family had arrived after hearing the news.
Who else could be leading this if not Jiang Yurou?
"Wenli, what's wrong with you? What happened to you? Don't scare me!" Jiang Yurou knelt on the ground, crying sadly, shaking Chen Wenli's hands incessantly.
The thought that her life of luxury might be ruined made Jiang Yurou shake the rocks even harder.
Seeing Chen Wenli's face growing paler and paler, Old Chen couldn't help but say something.
"Stop shaking him. If you keep shaking him, he'll get into trouble even if he's fine."
Jiang Yurou awkwardly took her hands down and placed them at her sides. Upon hearing this, Chen's mother, who was standing nearby, felt as if she had stirred up a hornet's nest.
"You damned bastard, get out of here! It's all your fault that my son is like this. Why isn't it you lying here?"
After cursing, Chen's mother began to cover her face and weep.
Mr. Chen, who was standing nearby, embraced his wife and silently comforted her.
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was mostly his son's bad luck that was to blame.
Strangely enough, his son was born with terrible luck.
As a child, Chen Wenli was used to being hit by stones while walking outside, choking on his food, and falling into the latrine while using the toilet. These were things that most people might never encounter in their entire lives, but they were commonplace for him.
He once consulted a master who performed a ritual, saying that if he could marry the girl from the Jiang family, the bad luck on his son would be eliminated.
After getting married, his son's bad luck did indeed lessen considerably, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his son was finally back to normal.
Who would have thought that bad luck could come back with a vengeance...
"Wrong," Chen's father suddenly realized, his expression changing drastically.
A girl from the Jiang family? Which Jiang family? Which girl from the Jiang family?
At the time, they were only thinking about the principle of proximity, and the master was indeed pointing in the direction of the Jiang family.
But now their son's bad luck keeps coming back, could it be that they've made a mistake?
...
Jiang Xixi had no idea that her unlucky ex-husband was having another stroke of bad luck. Of course, even if she did know, she would at most gloat.
"Xixi, something's off about you today, really, very off."
Xu Xiaomi stared at Jiang Xixi for a long time, so long that Jiang Xixi thought there was something on her face, before she said this.
"Your smile seems much more genuine today. Usually, it's just a fake smile on your face. Tell me, what good thing happened?" Xu Xiaomi clenched her fists and placed them on Jiang Xixi's face in a threatening gesture.
Jiang Xixi covered the corner of her mouth with her hand, thinking to herself, "Is it that obvious?"
My husband is coming home today.
"Oh Xixi, you really got married? I thought you were lying to me." Xu Xiaomi's surprise was visibly obvious.
Am I that bored?
Xu Xiaomi still couldn't accept it. Wasn't Xixi the same age as her? How could she be married?
However, Xu Xiaomi still trusts her best friend's judgment very much; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to recognize such a good friend.
"Tell me quickly, is your boyfriend handsome? Do you love him? You're so young, why did you choose to get married?"
It's not that marriage is bad, but the key is that from childhood to adulthood, the marital status of the people around me has not been very happy.
Take her parents for example. They are a model couple, but if her mother and father don't get along, or if her mother doesn't cook on time, her father will resort to emotional abuse.
Even so, everyone around him, whether neighbors or relatives, said that his father was good to his mother and was a good man.
Not to mention other families, some men commit domestic violence, spending all their earnings on themselves without any regard for the well-being of their wives and children...
Her mother often tells her that girls can only be happy when they are young, which has led to her having no expectations for married life now.
Upon suddenly learning that her best friend had entered into marriage, she was both curious and genuinely worried.
"I don't know how to answer your questions. But for me, he is the most suitable candidate at this stage, and that's enough for me."
In the adult world, there are too many considerations. Perhaps she would have thought about these issues when she was this age in her previous life, but now that she has been reborn, most of her choices are just weighing the pros and cons.
However, she did have some goodwill towards Wei Laicheng, but that was all.
After listening to Jiang Xixi's words, Xu Xiaomi stared thoughtfully at the table, seemingly having gained some insight...
Two minutes before the end of the workday, Xu Xiaomi grabbed Jiang Xixi's arm and rushed outside. They hadn't even run ten meters when they heard someone calling Jiang Xixi's name.
"Xixi?"
Jiang Xixi looked over upon hearing the sound, and her expression brightened with joy.
"Wei Laicheng, you're back!"
Wei Laicheng had clearly just taken a shower; his head was still damp with moisture.
He scratched his head, a simple smile on his face, and nodded in response.
"Yes, I just got back. I heard from my teacher's wife that you were about to get off work, so I came to pick you up."
Jiang Xixi laughed too, this guy is really honest.
The two were in a great mood, but Xu Xiaomi, the third wheel, was acting all sneaky.
I have to say, my best friend has great taste. This guy is not only handsome, but he also clearly only has eyes for his own sisters.
She's such a big person, yet no one even glanced at her.
It was Jiang Xixi who remembered and introduced them to the two of them, "Xiaomi, this is the man I told you about, my husband, Wei Laicheng, who works in the transportation team."
"Lai Cheng, this is my good friend and colleague, Xu Xiaomi."
"My wife's best friend?" Wei Laicheng toned down his doggy-like smile a bit, but his affection was still evident.
Xu Xiaomi smiled and nodded, her mouth still chattering as she teased Jiang Xixi, "Xixi, you have good taste!"
Jiang and Wei's faces flushed instantly, looking like a newlywed couple.
"It's been a long time since you two have seen each other. The young couple must have a lot to talk about, so I'll be going now."
Goodbye, Xixi, see you tomorrow!
Before Jiang Xixi could react, Xu Xiaomi skipped and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
