Chapter 167 I'm not nervous, I'll definitely do my best.
An hour later.
The vehicle drove to the vicinity of the entrance to Zhoujia Hutong.
"Phew~ I'm finally home!"
Zhou Linghui got out of the car happily, her face beaming with joy.
After everyone took their luggage out of the back of the vehicle.
Jiang Xun handed Jiang Feiyan a piece of paper with a phone number written on it:
"This is my home phone number. You can call me if you need anything. I'll also come to the Zhou family to see you when it's convenient for me."
Jiang Feiyan nodded: "Okay, I understand."
There are only two days left until the Chinese New Year, so it's estimated that the two of them can only meet after the New Year.
After Jiang Xun left, Zhou Linghui took Jiang Feiyan's arm and rushed home impatiently.
Lin Dacheng followed with a doting expression, carrying large and small bags on his body and holding luggage in both hands.
As soon as the group entered the courtyard, they were spotted by a group of middle-aged women chatting downstairs.
"Oh, isn't this the Zhou family's daughter? She's back from the countryside!"
"She looks pretty good. Aren't people supposed to get all tanned and skinny when they go to the countryside?"
"The Zhou family is well-off; they probably received a lot of subsidies, so they eat well and naturally won't be too thin."
"Didn't she have a job before? Why is she going to work in the countryside?"
"I heard a rumor that this Zhou family girl chased after a man to the countryside, and her parents were furious."
"Tsk tsk tsk, really? Who would want a shameless girl like that...?"
When the group of middle-aged women first started talking, Jiang Feiyan and Zhou Linghui didn't pay any attention.
After all, people can say whatever they want, and there's nothing they can do to stop them.
But those last few sentences went a bit too far.
Zhou Linghui looked somewhat aggrieved: "I didn't expect that even after so much time has passed, these people would still be so gossipy."
“Some people are just born gossipy, and we can’t stop them.” Jiang Feiyan patted her shoulder: “Wait, I’ll get revenge for you!”
Jiang Feiyan walked up to the plump woman who had been making the loudest sarcastic remarks and said, "Ma'am, I heard everything you said."
The plump woman shrugged: "So what if you heard it? Am I not telling the truth?"
This girl is with the Zhou family's daughter; she's obviously here to cause trouble.
"Of course that's not the truth!" Jiang Feiyan rebuked sternly, "Sister Linghui went to the countryside to respond to the national call to develop rural areas!"
You've slandered her reputation without any basis or evidence; this is defamation, and we can sue the police!
Although it's true that Sister Linghui was wrong to be love-struck before, that was an internal matter for the Zhou family, and others had no right to interfere.
Moreover, now that Sister Linghui has brought her boyfriend back, the previous events must be clarified, otherwise the Zhou family will be the subject of gossip again.
Upon hearing Jiang Feiyan say she wanted to find the police, the plump woman panicked:
"I...I only heard it from someone else. It has nothing to do with me. You can't tell people this."
"I won't sue you, just don't discuss these kinds of things anymore, and the rumors will naturally fall apart."
Jiang Feiyan snorted coldly and looked at the others, saying:
"Moreover, Uncle Zhou works for the Public Security Bureau, so he knows the process of filing a false report best."
We're all neighbors, so surely no one wants things to get too ugly, right?
Upon hearing this, the other women quickly waved their hands and said, "No, no, we won't say it again."
Just kidding, they'd be fools if they still didn't understand after I've said all that.
In reality, they only dared to discuss it in private; who would dare to actually say it to the Zhou family?
The head of the Zhou family works in the Public Security Bureau. If he finds out that his daughter has been bullied, he might retaliate.
Seeing that the opportunity was just right, Zhou Linghui quickly pulled Lin Dacheng over.
She said to everyone with a serious expression, "Let me introduce you ladies, this is the man I met in the countryside."
He is a very nice person and will come back with me to visit my parents from time to time. I hope everyone will stop spreading rumors.
Otherwise, I will definitely make my dad get justice for me!
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly smiled and flattered:
"Hehe, then congratulations Linghui, your partner is a perfect match for you."
"Yes, look at this young man, he's tall and strong, he looks like someone who's down-to-earth and lives a stable life!"
"Linghui, hurry and tell your parents the good news! They'll be so happy to see this young man!"
Hearing this, Zhou Linghui's complexion improved considerably.
Sure enough, some people are bullies who prey on the weak. If she didn't have a good father to back her up, she might have been scolded terribly.
Of course, all of this also reminded her how much her foolish behavior had hurt her parents.
Zhou Linghui secretly vowed in her heart that she would never act impulsively and make mistakes that would upset her parents again.
......
Meanwhile, the Zhou family.
Zhou's mother, Wu Jiahui, stood at the door, gazing into the distance.
Linghui had written to me before, saying that she was planning to take leave to come back during the Chinese New Year.
So these days, whenever she has time, she waits at the door, afraid of missing her daughter's return.
"Mom!" Zhou Linghui saw the person standing at her door from a distance and called out in a choked voice.
"Aunt Wu!" Jiang Feiyan was also very excited.
"Hey! Linghui! Yanzi! You're finally back!!"
With tears welling in her eyes, Zhou's mother rushed forward, embracing the two maids tightly, her voice choked with sobs, "It's good you're back...it's good you're back..."
Lin Dacheng stood awkwardly to the side, too nervous to even breathe.
Zhou's mother looked up and saw the honest-looking young man standing beside her. She smiled warmly and said, "You must be Dacheng! Oh my, you're so strong and healthy, that's great!"
This young man seems reliable, much better than Xiao Feng back then.
Her daughter finally has good taste!
Lin Dacheng laughed heartily: "It's me, Auntie, hello."
Zhou's mother, holding the hands of two maids, smiled at him and said, "Come on, let's go home. It's cold outside."
"Okay!" Lin Dacheng felt a warmth in his heart and his expression relaxed considerably when he heard the words "go home".
"Mom, where's Dad?" Zhou Linghui asked as soon as she got home, only to find her father was not there.
Zhou's mother: "He's been extremely busy with a case these past few days, and he probably won't be back until tonight."
“Oh, okay.” Zhou Linghui nodded.
Zhou's mother: "You all pack your luggage first and then rest for a while. I'll call you when the food is ready."
The Zhou family only had two rooms. Zhou's mother arranged for Lin Dacheng to share a room with Zhou's father, while she slept with two maids.
Although Jiang Feiyan owns a house, it has been rented out, so it's inconvenient for her to go back to live there.
Her main purpose in returning to Beijing this time was to visit Zhou's parents, so she stayed at the Zhou family home for the New Year.
After packing her things, Zhou Linghui went to her parents' room and said to Lin Dacheng:
"Brother Dacheng, don't be nervous at my house. My parents are very easy to get along with."
"Okay, sure." Lin Dacheng smiled and said, "I'm not nervous, I'll definitely do my best!"
