Chapter 52: Child marriage?
The next day, Xia Wanyang woke up to a loud noise. She wanted to cover her head with the quilt and continue sleeping, but the noise became louder and louder. Xia Wanyang had no choice but to change her clothes and go out.
"Lin Feifei, not only did you grind your teeth, fart, and snore last night, you even sleepwalked. I don't dare to continue sleeping in the same room with you. Please change rooms!"
Lin Feifei was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. "Bullshit, this didn't happen to me in the past 18 years. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Jing sneered, "You knew what you were doing when you were asleep? You are amazing!"
Xue Xingran grabbed Lin Feifei's arm and said, "Feifei, I can testify for you that nothing like this has ever happened. She can say whatever she wants."
Lin Feifei wiped her eyes and said, "Xing Ran, she is just looking for trouble. She is taking revenge on me for speaking for Xia Wanyang yesterday. She deliberately said this today to ruin my reputation!"
Xia Wanyang walked over and stood in front of Lin Feifei, "Wang Jing, are you idle every day?"
Wang Jing glared at Xia Wanyang, "Who is free? She and I live in the same room, and she disturbs others at night, and I'm not allowed to say anything?"
Xia Wanyang: "Okay, all of us female educated youth will sleep in the same room with you tonight. If it's really like you said, Lin Feifei will move out. If not, how about I tear your mouth apart?"
At the same time, two unfamiliar faces came to Zhang Shiye’s door.
Zhang Shiye was carrying a basket and was about to deliver food to Xia Wanyang. He glanced at the two women standing at the door, turned around and left.
Wei Jia blushed and lowered her head, fiddling with her long braid. When she raised her head, she saw Zhang Shiye's departing back and was stunned.
No, such a beautiful girl is blocking the door of her house, shouldn’t this man ask her what’s going on?
Wei's mother was also stunned. What did this man mean?
"Jia Jia, it's okay, mom will go knock on the door."
Aunt Qiao heard the knock on the door and came out, "Big sister, who are you looking for?"
Mother Wei smiled and said, "I'm from the Xiangyang Brigade. My husband's name is Wei Feng. Eighteen years ago, your grandfather fell into an ice hole and it was my husband who rescued him. Do you remember?"
Aunt Qiao shook her head. She and Zhang Heping had been separated eighteen years ago and had moved to the Dongfanghong Brigade long ago. How could she know that he fell into the river?
Mother Wei put away her smile and said, "Why, do you want to shirk your responsibility? Zhang Dabiao, this old gangster, is such an ungrateful person. When I rescued him, I promised to arrange a marriage for our child. Now that my husband is gone, you are bullying us, an orphan and a widow!"
After saying that, he sat on the ground and started crying loudly. Soon, the crowd of onlookers surrounded the Zhang family.
Seeing that there were more people around, Wei's mother cried and said, "Eighteen years ago in the winter, Zhang Dabiao went to the river to catch fish for his pregnant daughter-in-law and fell into the river. My husband happened to see him and risked his life to pull him out. He became very sick and left us an orphan and a widow before he was fifty.
Back then, Zhang Dabiao almost knelt down to thank my husband, and finally made an agreement with my husband that when his daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, she would marry him to our family. But as soon as my husband left, they denied it!"
Zhang Heping frowned, "Comrade, my family separated from my father sixteen years ago and moved to the Dongfanghong Brigade a long time ago. My wife gave birth to four sons for me, but she has never eaten a bite of the fish my father caught. Are you mistaken?"
Aunt Qiao pulled Zhang Heping behind her and said, "My father-in-law is engaged to you, why are you looking for my father-in-law? Why are you looking for us?"
Mother Wei's eyes turned, "It was your father-in-law who asked me to come. He said that it was a marriage arranged for your fourth child!"
Aunt Qiao laughed, "Go find whoever you're engaged to. I even said that I saved you from the river sixteen years ago, and you wrote me an IOU for five hundred yuan!"
After saying that, he glanced at Wei Jia who was standing aside. This girl must be mentally retarded. Her mother had been sitting on the ground for so long, but she didn't even know how to help her up. She just stood there with her face as red as a monkey's butt. I don't know why she was shy.
Mother Wei clapped her hands on the ground, "Everyone, please judge for yourself. The captain's family is so ruthless! We came here before dawn to save my life, and they didn't even ask us to go in for a drink of water!"
Qian Guilan stood in the crowd and made a noise, "Captain's wife, you are wrong. No matter it's true or not, you need to let people rest and drink some water!"
Aunt Qiao glanced at the crowd and said, "Qian Guilan, you are so hospitable, why don't you invite me to your home? Isn't your son not married yet?"
Qian Guilan thought of Xia Wanyang and closed her mouth reluctantly.
On the other side, at the educated youth center.
Wang Jing looked at Xia Wanyang with her bare chest, like a cock that had won a fight. "I'm not betting with you. If I say she snores, she snores. Now you have to move out!"
Xia Wanyang raised her hand and slapped him in the face. "Wang Jing, haven't you been beaten enough? Aren't you tired of working in the fields every day? Can't you just live your own life?"
This slap sent Wang Jing flying to the ground, with her face visibly swollen. Wang Jing covered her face and glared at Xia Wanyang fiercely, "I'm going to call the police. You've hit me over and over again for no reason. I'm going to sue you!"
Xia Wanyang snorted coldly, "Whatever you want, whoever doesn't go is a grandson!"
Wang Jing ran out crying, and Li Ermao ran out with her. Li Damao was surprised to see his brother running out, "Why is my brother running out?"
Zheng Yu patted Li Damao on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you are very simple!"
When Zhang Shiye walked into the educated youth center, he immediately saw a little girl standing in the middle of the crowd, gesticulating with indignation on her face and saying something. He walked over and gently pulled her into his arms, "Yangyang, time for breakfast."
Xue Xingran saw the two of them in the same frame, looking at this and that, "Xia Zhiqing, since your partner is here, you should go eat first!"
After saying this, he gave Xia Wanyang a teasing look.
Xia Wanyang looked helpless.
The two returned to the house. Zhang Shiye put the basket on the table and tapped her nose lovingly: "What happened? Why are you standing there so early in the morning?"
Xia Wanyang snorted, "I had a fight with that Wang Jing. She slandered the new educated youth for snoring. Just because the new educated youth said a few words for me yesterday, she targeted him like this. I was so angry!"
Zhang Shiye quickly hugged her into his arms and rubbed her back, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. Wow, I didn't expect my girl to be able to fight?"
Xia Wanyang thought to herself: "Haha, not only can he fight, he's also very good at it. He knocked out two teeth with one slap."
Zhang Shiye continued to ask: "Tell me, what happened?"
Xia Wanyang recounted what happened last night, of course skipping the fact that she slapped Wang Jing yesterday. She didn't want Zhang Shiye to know that she was a strong woman.
Zhang Shiye frowned as he listened, "Did Lin Long pursue you before?"
"That happened a long time ago. At that time, Lin Feifei, my second sister-in-law Liu Yue and I were best friends. We played together every day. It was because of that narcissistic man that Feifei and I became more and more distant."
Zhang Shiye narrowed his eyes slightly. It was okay before, but now he dared to steal his girlfriend? Was he really brave enough to do that?
