Chapter 54 Dealing with Zhang Shifang
Zhang Shifang withdrew his hand awkwardly, pretending to be heartbroken and said, "Xia Zhiqing, my cousin is really a piece of shit. He's still dating you even though he's already engaged. I think he's just trying to keep you hanging to get benefits."
Xia Wanyang raised her eyebrows, "Are you here to sow discord?"
Zhang Shifang quickly waved his hands, "You are wrongly accusing me, Xia Zhiqing, by saying that. I just can't stand my cousin lying to you."
Xia Wanyang laughed, "Oh, then what can you do if you don't like it?"
When Zhang Shifang heard that this was a good thing, he quickly said, "Xia Zhiqing, our Zhang family has produced an irresponsible person like my cousin. Unlike me, when I fall in love with someone, I will be loyal to that person forever. I won't be like him, who only thinks about the future while eating from the bowl!"
Xia Wanyang snorted coldly, "What on earth do you want to say?"
Zhang Shifang looked at Xia Wanyang affectionately, "Xia Zhiqing, my brother hurt you, you should break up with him. You can consider me. I am definitely different from him!"
Xia Wanyang suppressed her nausea and said, "Okay, it's almost time to get off work, but your cousin and I haven't broken up yet. It's not good for people to see us standing here talking. How about changing places?"
Zhang Shifang nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, let's go to another place."
"Okay, then wait for me for a while."
Xia Wanyang turned and walked into the educated youth center. "Li Zhiqing, is Li Zhiqing here?"
Li Xiaofeng yawned, and the smell of her breath almost made Xia Wanyang fall over. "What for? If you need help from me, I won't charge you cheaply!"
Xia Wanyang took a step back unconsciously, "Li Zhiqing, you are not used to going to the countryside, right? You got a heat stroke on your first day at work, how are you going to survive in the future?"
Li Xiaofeng rarely heard someone care about her, and she sighed, "How can I endure it? I just have to endure it. My mother has eight daughters, but she only wants a son. She is almost 50 years old and still keeps giving birth. I just got pregnant before I went to the countryside. Our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat. My three older sisters were married, and the two youngest ones were left to take care of them. My fifth and sixth sisters and I went to the countryside. In addition to supporting myself, I also had to mail food home. I couldn't endure it, but there was nothing I could do."
Xia Wanyang flashed a sly smile, "What can I do? I don't have to work when I get married. I just need to find a good husband. Apart from cooking and washing clothes, I don't have to do anything else!"
Li Xiaofeng waved her hands. "My eldest sister and second sister both married badly. Every time they came home, their bodies were covered with bruises. My third sister was even worse. She became a stepmother. My third sister's husband's eldest son is five years younger than my third sister. I don't want to live that kind of life. If I could marry into a family like yours, I could barely accept it."
Xia Wanyang: “…”
Xia Wanyang patted her shoulder and said, "Everyone in my boyfriend's family is married except him. But my boyfriend's cousin is good-looking and comes from a good family. Most importantly, he is an only child and doesn't even have sisters. He only has his parents and grandparents. If you marry him and subdue the mother-in-law, won't you have the final say in the whole family?"
Li Xiaofeng was a little tempted. "Do you look good? I won't do it if you don't look good. Although I'm not as pretty as you, I'm not bad. Good conditions are only one of my criteria. The other one is that you have to look decent. Otherwise, I can't show it off!"
Xia Wanyang took a deep breath, "The guy who just came to me, seeing that his cousin and I were going to settle down, insisted that I introduce him to someone, and you were the first person I thought of. You can't stand working in the fields, and if you continue like this, your work points won't even be enough to support yourself, so how are you going to send food home?"
Li Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and she traced her fingers around her neck, "That guy is pretty good-looking. Although he's a little short, his skin is quite fair, and he's well dressed. It's obvious that he's well-fed at home!"
Xia Wanyang nodded, "Yes, you see, if you get married, you two won't have to go to work, and you can sleep as long as you want. If you can control your mother-in-law, you may not even have to cook. Although I have never eaten her cooking, look at my boyfriend's cousin, he is so fat, and you can tell he eats well."
Li Xiaofeng raised her head proudly, "Then you don't have to worry about it. My parents couldn't give birth to a son these years and often beat and scolded my sisters and me at home, so I secretly went out to do heavy work. Later, when my parents wanted to beat me again, I kicked the table and broke it on the spot. Isn't it easy to control a mother-in-law?"
"Okay, then I'll take my boyfriend's cousin to the river at the east end of the village. Go and get yourself ready and then come over. You two can have a good chat! You'd better hurry!" Xia Wanyang said and went back to the house.
Li Xiaofeng happily went back to the house, twisting her waist like a bucket. She started rummaging through the drawers to look for clothes. Finally, she chose a green dress and combed her hair into a ponytail like Xia Wanyang.
But Li Xiaofeng had too little hair. After combing the top of her head flat, you could hardly see any hair on the back. With her bald head and an emerald green skirt, from a distance she looked like a giant green grasshopper.
This was the scene the educated youth saw when they got off work. Li Xiaofeng flew out in a flash.
Sun Hongjun patted his heart and said, "Fuck, what was that thing that just jumped out?"
Li Xiang was so frightened that he jumped three feet high, "You don't know? Isn't there something unclean in our educated youth camp?"
Li Damao quickly came over and covered his mouth, "No matter how scared you are, you can't talk nonsense, understand?"
Everyone waved their hands and dispersed.
Xia Wanyang took Zhang Shifang to the small river at the east end of the village. The water was so clear that one could see the sand and rocks at the bottom of the river and the small fish and shrimps swimming around. The water didn't look deep, but in fact the deepest part was enough to submerge an adult's neck.
After the villagers finished their meal, the young girls and wives would carry their wooden basins to the river, chatting and washing clothes; and later in the evening, the young men would come together to take a bath.
This was where Xia Wanyang was pushed down by Fang Zhaodi in her previous life. This was the place she hated coming to the most. Every time she came here, she felt like she had to relive what happened in her previous life again.
Xia Wanyang turned around and looked at Zhang Shifang coldly, "Are you looking for a partner?"
Zhang Shifang's eyes sparkled, "Xia Zhiqing, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you, and from now on there will be no room for anyone else in my eyes. If you marry me, how about I give you 100 yuan as a betrothal gift?"
Xia Wanyang waved her hands, "It's too much, what should I do if I can't spend it all?"
Zhang Shifang shook his hair and struck a pose that he thought was very handsome. "It doesn't matter if you can't spend all the money. You can buy a bicycle and a sewing machine with some money. When you bring them to my house, how proud you will be."
Xia Wanyang raised her foot and kicked Zhang Shifang in the stomach, "You're ugly but you think you're beautiful. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!"
At this time, Li Xiaofeng came running over as fast as lightning, "Xia...Xia Wanyang, why are you fighting with your cousin?"
Xia Wanyang retracted her foot, coughed, and said, "I said I would introduce you to him as a date, but he not only disagreed, he also said you were not worthy of him. Didn't I just kick him because I couldn't stand other people saying bad things about you and got angry?"
Li Xiaofeng was deeply moved, "Comrade Wan Yang, you are such a good person."
After saying that, she turned to look at Zhang Shifang, "I'm not worthy of you? Fuck you, the people who want to pursue me are lining up all the way. I came to see you to give face to Comrade Wan Yang. Since you are so rude, then I will marry you!"
After saying that, he held Zhang Shifang's face and kissed him on the mouth.
Xia Wanyang: “…” Is this something I can see?
When Zhang Shifang reacted, he pushed Li Xiaofeng away and shouted, "Help! It's a ghost!!"
Li Xiaofeng went up to him and slapped him in the face. "We've already kissed, I'm telling you, prepare the betrothal gifts and come to me to propose marriage. I don't ask for much, just 200 yuan. If you dare not go, I will go to the commune and report you for being a hooligan to the educated youth. Just wait for the peanuts!"
