Chapter 81: They're a good match, actually.
When Shen Yuzhu led Shen Yuming into the house, she looked up and saw that the man was dark-skinned, tall, and strong, like a big black bear from the mountain, which was quite frightening. She lowered her head in a panic.
Seeing how scared her sister was, she turned her head and glared at Zhou Congsheng again, not even missing Zeng Hu.
When Shen Yuming looked up, Zeng Hu was also looking at her.
Her large, wet eyes looked as if tears were still clinging to her eyelashes.
He's very handsome.
"hey-hey......"
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for dinner?"
Zeng Hu wasn't angry at being kicked. He timidly and hesitantly approached Zhou Congsheng.
If I heard correctly, that girl just called his sister-in-law "younger sister".
They're family! He and Zhou Congsheng are brothers, so they're practically family!
"Just talk, why are you being so lovey-dovey? Get away from me."
"Who was that girl just now? She called your wife 'sister,' was she her older sister?"
Zhou Congsheng glared at him disdainfully. Zhuzhu must be angry. He was still dawdling and not leaving, which was a waste of time.
"Don't even think about it, that's my sister-in-law, she's already had four kids."
"ah?"
Zeng Hucai was happy for a moment, but the small fire that had risen in his heart was immediately extinguished.
He's already twenty-six and still hasn't gotten married. His mother is so worried she can't sleep at night. Young girls like fair-skinned and handsome men, but he's dark-skinned. Every time the matchmaker finds him a wife, she's either a man who just lost his husband or a disabled man with some kind of problem.
Zeng Hu was somewhat melancholy and didn't want to recall it.
It's all bitter tears.
"Forget it, I'm probably destined to be a lonely widow for the rest of my life. You go and coax your wife, I'm leaving now."
Zhou Congsheng: "......."
He just loves to spout nonsense!
After waiting for a while in the main room, the two sisters, Shen Yuzhu and Shen Yuming, finally came out, the latter with red eyes.
"Sister, I'm sorry, Zeng Hu didn't mean it. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf when he left."
"It's alright, it's alright. He didn't do it on purpose. Let's just let it go. You guys, you talk to each other, I'll be going now."
As I left, it was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; it darted to the door in a flash.
After the courtyard gate was closed, Shen Yuzhu walked up to him and pinched his waist hard.
"Hiss!"
"You, can't we just let this go? Why do you have to bring it up? And why do you have to apologize?"
No, it's not that. I just wanted to say it again to show that I'm sincere.
Zhou Congsheng glared at Shen Yuzhu, not daring to remove her hand in the slightest.
Seeing his expression, Shen Yuzhu couldn't bring herself to twist him anymore, so she reached out and gently rubbed his waist a couple more times.
This was outrageous! Zhou Congsheng suddenly jumped to the side, clearing a distance of almost a meter. Shen Yuzhu was stunned.
So agile!
"What are you doing?"
"I twisted it a bit too hard just now, I was afraid it would hurt you, so I rubbed it for you. What's wrong? Does it hurt too much?"
No, it's too numb.
Zhou Congsheng left in the late afternoon. He will have a holiday next week and will bring Zhao Yue with him.
Shen Yuzhu really liked Zhao Yue. She was very happy to hear that Zhao Yue was coming over and even said she would cook something delicious for her.
This made Zhou Congsheng feel rather jealous.
Not long after he left, Qiao Wangshu and Liang Manxiu arrived, both with smiles on their faces.
"What's wrong? You seem quite happy?"
“Feng, the educated youth, proposed marriage to Liping and presented a betrothal gift. Aunt Qian came to mediate. He gave 180 yuan as a bride price, a steel watch, some brown sugar and snacks. Someone saw him going to the county town today. I didn’t expect him to be so well prepared.”
"Yes, Wang Zhiqing accepted it too. They discussed it and said they would get the marriage certificate before the heavy snow, and then build a separate courtyard in the spring."
Shen Yuzhu raised an eyebrow after hearing this.
Feng Zhengyang's parents were legitimate employees, and his father was a skilled worker. But that wasn't the most important thing; Feng Zhengyang's uncle was a leader in the Materials Bureau.
My family is well-off, and my family members are also very upright.
I only heard about it by chance in my past life. It's just that Feng Zhengyang's lover in his past life was not Wang Liping, but Xia Zhenzhen. However, Xia Zhenzhen was forced into marriage.
"This shows that Feng Zhiqing is a responsible person, and the two of them may develop feelings for each other in the future."
Liang Manxiu chuckled twice, "Well, that couple is still arguing. That Xia girl cried all night. I don't know what she sees in Yu Xiaolin."
"He's handsome and has a sweet tongue, what else could it be?"
Lin Wanwan and Yu Xiaolin were indeed getting married. This matter could have been kept secret, but after Lü Guangkun and Zhu Xinmei took them to the police station, the news spread throughout the village.
One is narrow-minded and full of scheming, the other is hypocritical, righteous, and shameless; they are quite a match.
"Aunt Pan gave Liping and the others twenty yuan each as compensation, along with some grain. Their family wasn't doing well, so it wasn't easy for them to come up with this much. Captain Lü took Lü Jianhui to the county town and begged the steel mill to give him the job of guarding the gate."
When I heard the captain say that, I already guessed it.
"Anything else?"
Liang Manxiu pursed her lips and said, "The brigade leader said that if there are any places available at the Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University or if the commune needs people who can read, they will be given priority in being recommended."
The whiff of using public office for private gain is quite obvious.
Shen Yuzhu sighed. If that were the case, the captain's reputation would be ruined. Daring to say such things openly, he was trying to incite trouble and get him removed from his post!
After chatting for a while, Shen Yuzhu gave each of them a jar of pickled vegetables.
"I made this myself. You can use it to change the flavor of your meals. I added minced meat to it."
The two hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.
“Yuzhu, Wangshu and I plan to build two houses next spring, just for the two of us. We were thinking of bringing Lin Wanwan along, but we didn’t expect her to be so cunning.”
"Great, we can keep each other company from now on. Oh, and stay away from her in the future."
“We were planning to do the same thing even if you hadn’t said anything. Don’t worry, we’ve already talked to Liping. The three of us will go out and prepare banquets for people from now on.”
When Liang Manxiu left, she held Shen Yuzhu's hand for a moment, and when she let go, she was very reluctant to part with her.
Yuzhu is becoming increasingly affectionate towards her.
The two walked to the educated youth settlement and saw Xia Zhenzhen and Feng Zhengyang talking at the corner of the road.
Enraged, Liang Manxiu still had some sense and pulled Qiao Wangshu back from moving forward.
He quietly crept to the haystack by the door and squatted down.
"Feng Zhiqing, have you thought this through? This concerns your happiness for the rest of your life. Are you really planning to marry Wang Zhiqing?"
"Yes, I have to take responsibility for what I did. I've already called home, and my parents have agreed. Since we're getting married, we can't let her suffer. Xia Zhiqing, about what I said to you before... never mind, I'm getting married soon, so please don't call me out alone anymore. I'm afraid Wang Zhi... I'm afraid Liping will misunderstand. It's not appropriate."
A flash of pain crossed Feng Zhengyang's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, his eyes clear and bright, radiating righteousness. He nodded to her, then turned and left.
Watching his departing figure, Xia Zhenzhen felt a momentary panic, and for some reason, she suddenly felt empty inside.
