Here, Mr. and Mrs. Xu went back to their room to lie down for a while before getting up to go back to work.
Along the way, Mr. and Mrs. Xu were both the focus of everyone's attention. Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu, a little confused. Mrs. Xu winked at Mr. Xu, and then the two of them went their separate ways to find out what had happened.
Mother Xu took a step behind and walked to her good sister. She asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong?"
Aunt Juhua slapped Xu's mother on the shoulder and said, "Hey, you're really disloyal. You didn't even tell us that your daughter was getting married in the winter. Do you think we're good sisters?"
When Xu's mother heard this, she was completely bewildered. "My daughter is getting married in winter? Who told you that?"
Aunt Juhua looked at her teasingly, "You're still pretending. Your daughter told Cheng Jiawen herself that they'll get married in the winter."
Mother Xu finally understood. She nodded in understanding and said with a smile, "Well, that's it. I thought I'd tell you after a few days of rest."
"Well, your daughter is getting married, you must invite us to the wedding." A group of aunts looked at Xu's mother in a friendly manner, "We can still go and help when the time comes."
Xu's mother smiled and said, "That's for sure. I'll tell you when the time is confirmed."
"Okay."
They walked to work, chatting and laughing all the way.
The sun shone on their faces, illuminating them with a glow of happiness. Their steps were brisk, as if they were walking on clouds, filled with longing for a better life. Their topics covered everything from trivial matters to life philosophy, from funny jokes to touching stories, and they were able to chat with great relish.
-------------------------------------
The Cheng family was the opposite. At this moment, the Cheng family was in a serious mood. Cheng's father, Cheng's mother, and others were standing in the yard. Cheng's father looked at everyone standing in the yard, glanced at them, and said seriously: "Everyone else go to work, Cheng Jiawen stay."
Everyone looked at each other, didn't dare to say anything, and rushed out with their things.
Soon, only Cheng's father, Cheng's mother and Cheng Jiawen were left in the yard.
Father Cheng took a puff of his water pipe and asked seriously, "You were the one who said you would marry Xu Qianjiao in winter?"
Cheng Jiawen nodded firmly, "That's what I said."
Father Cheng took a deep breath, picked up the broom next to him and hit him, "Asshole, you dare not listen to me? I told you not to marry her."
Cheng Jiawen didn't dodge this time and took the blow from Cheng's father. He fell to one knee on the ground. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to speak firmly: "I ruined her reputation, and I like her too. I just want to marry her, whether you agree or not, I will marry her."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Cheng's father took a deep breath and said nothing. Cheng's mother, who was standing next to him, could no longer stand. She said angrily, "What do you mean you have to marry her just because you ruined her reputation? What's the point of marrying her? Look at her frail body, she can't work, what's the point of marrying her?"
"I didn't marry a wife to work for her. I just like her and want to marry her." Cheng Jiawen knelt on the ground and looked at his parents stubbornly.
Father Cheng took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Do you really want to marry her? No matter what the conditions are, you will marry her?"
Cheng Jiawen nodded firmly and said solemnly, "Yes, no matter what the requirements are, I will marry her."
"Oh." Father Cheng was amused by his stubbornness. "Okay, okay, since you say so, then I will do as you wish. If you marry her, we will separate."
Cheng Jiawen was stunned by this sudden surprise. He didn't expect that this was the punishment Cheng's father talked about. Separation of the family was a good thing, he was looking forward to it. He had been planning to separate the family every day, but he didn't expect that this step would come true.
It feels so good to marry a beautiful bride and get rid of this family of vampires.
He thought so in his heart, but his face looked hurt. He looked at Cheng's father with red eyes and said in a choked voice: "Dad, do you really want to do this? Are you trying to separate me?"
Seeing him like this, Cheng's mother felt a little proud. No matter what her son was like in normal times, he still kept the old Cheng family in his heart at critical moments. Now, he gave in when the topic of dividing the family was brought up. Without the old Cheng family, he would probably starve to death.
Just give in, and then you can marry him a capable wife. Then you can save more money and help Goudan buy a job in the city. Then your life will be perfect.
Seeing that he seemed to want to give in, Father Cheng thought for a moment, then slowly softened his voice and said, "If you say you don't want to marry her, we'll find you a capable wife after this is over. By then, our family will be harmonious and happy. How wonderful it would be."
Cheng Jiawen couldn't help but feel funny when listening to the big promises made by Cheng's father. This was all so harmonious and beautiful, bullshit. Didn't he just want him to devote himself to the whole family? He was not as great as his second brother, who was willing to dedicate himself to the old Cheng family and burn himself out just for the betterment of his eldest brother.
He didn't even look at the family. Except for his eldest brother and Goudan, who were fat, everyone else was skinny as a skeleton. Especially his two daughters, they were so skinny, but he didn't feel sorry for them at all.
Instead, he has always believed Cheng's father's nonsense, saying that since he has no son, he should be nice to his nephew and his nephew will take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life. He doesn't even want to laugh. He can expect Goudan, such a heartless guy, to take care of him in his later years. He may not even support his own parents, let alone you, an uncle.
Cheng Jiawen's heart was calm, but his face was full of pain. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before looking up at his father. He said in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, Dad. I still want to marry Jiaojiao. I can't leave her."
"You...you..." Cheng's father was so angry at Cheng Jiawen's words that he vomited blood. He sat on the stool, gasping for breath. "Okay, okay, okay, good job. Okay, in that case, let's split up."
When Cheng's mother saw that she really had to separate Cheng Jiawen, a trace of reluctance flashed through her heart, but she didn't say anything. She just stood aside and watched him. She didn't expect that decades had passed in the blink of an eye and he had grown up so much.
He was raised by his grandparents and was never close to her. He was her youngest child and also her last child. People always say that the eldest grandson and the youngest son are the treasures of their parents, but this theory does not exist in their family.
When he was born suddenly, she had an attack while working in the fields. She didn't even wait to go home and gave birth in public. After that, she became a laughing stock. Moreover, because of giving birth to him, she could not get pregnant again, so she had resentment towards her son and was not close to him.
But now that I really have to separate him, I feel a bit reluctant, but not too much.
Cheng Jiawen nodded with tears in his eyes, "I support whatever decision Dad makes. In that case, just separate me."
