Chapter 6 What’s the point of saying this now?
He met Lin Ziqiu's gentle gaze and whispered in agreement: "Well, Xiaoqiu is right."
Li Guixiang was delighted to hear the two of them addressing each other in a somewhat intimate manner. The more she looked at them, the more she felt that they looked like a couple.
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'm leaving now."
After Li Guixiang left, Zhong Heyang walked to the bedside and said awkwardly, "Thank you."
Lin Ziqiu was a little surprised that he would thank her, and then curled his lips, "You're welcome."
The little girl leaned against the head of the bed, her hair that was originally tied up now casually scattered on her shoulders, making her look more gentle.
Noticing the man's slightly fiery gaze, Lin Ziqiu raised his hand to turn off the light, "Go to bed."
In the dark night, Zhong Heyang lay back on his bed. For some reason, he felt itchy in his heart, which made him lose all desire to sleep.
…
Although the Military Family Compound and the Lin Family Compound are both in Suzhou, one is in the east and the other in the west.
When Lin Mengyao rode her bicycle to take Lin Xiaojun back home, most of the guests had left.
She parked the car casually in the yard and immediately ran to Lin's father and Zhang Xiumei to complain.
"Dad, Mom! Lin Ziqiu has brought shame to our family today. How can I get married in the future?"
Seeing her crying so sadly, Zhang Xiumei stopped what she was doing and asked, "Yaoyao, don't cry. Tell me what happened."
Lin Mengyao wiped away her tears and choked up, "That Zhong Zhiyang ran away from his marriage! Lin Ziqiu remarried Zhong Zhiyang's eldest brother!"
"It's my fault too. If I hadn't stopped her from going to the countryside, I would be the one marrying into the Zhong family today. Who knows, Zhong Zhiyang might not have run away from the marriage."
Lin Dahai was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Rebellious girl! I should have let her die outside!"
"Dahai, don't be angry first, take care of yourself."
Zhang Xiumei is much calmer than him.
She grasped the point and asked, "Then Zhong Zhiyang's elder brother... is he the young leader, Zhong Heyang?"
Lin Mengyao choked and didn't want to admit this fact.
Lin Xiaojun, who was still chewing the candy he got from the Zhong family, said loudly, "That's right! It's him!"
"Lin Ziqiu is so impressive today. People are calling her the captain's wife!"
Lin Xiaojun has always been a simple-minded person, and what he says hits people's hearts directly.
"Sister, it's all your fault. You could have been the headmaster's wife."
Lin Mengyao: “…”
Zhang Xiumei glared at Lin Xiaojun and signaled him to stop talking nonsense.
Then he stretched out his round and plump hands and wrapped them around Lin Dahai's arm.
"Da Hai, actually it's not a bad thing for Zi Qiu to remarry. Although it may sound bad to say it out loud, the man this girl is marrying is Zhong Heyang! You have a great son-in-law!"
After hearing what she said, Lin Dahai reacted.
But he still snorted coldly: "This damn girl is lucky! When she comes back, you have to set rules for her, so that she won't embarrass me everywhere."
Zhang Xiumei smiled and coaxed, "Okay, okay."
"Okay, you guys clean up the house. The factory director wants me to drink with him tonight, so I'm leaving now."
Seeing that Lin Dahai treated Lin Ziqiu's matter so lightly, he left without looking back. Lin Mengyao wanted to say something unwillingly.
Zhang Xiumei stopped her in time and scolded her in a low voice: "Come in!"
Inside the house, Zhang Xiumei was so angry that she pinched Lin Mengyao's arm.
"Look at what you have done! You insisted on going to the countryside! Now you are the wife of the regiment commander, and who knows, you may even be the wife of the division commander in the future!"
"You will be trampled under her feet for the rest of your life! That bitch would probably wake up laughing even in her dreams!"
Lin Mengyao covered her hand in pain, "Do you think I want this? I was wondering! Zhong Heyang is famous for not being interested in women. He refused to go on a blind date even at the age of 28. Today, as soon as that bitch touched his lips, he agreed!"
Lin Mengyao regretted it deeply. If she had known earlier, she would not have encouraged Jiang Nianyue and Zhong Zhiyang to elope today.
In this case, it would never be Lin Ziqiu's turn to be the team leader's wife!
Zhang Xiumei was furious, her chest heaving up and down with anger, "What's the point of saying this now!"
Seeing her so angry, Lin Mengyao had to comfort her: "Mom, even though Lin Ziqiu married Zhong Heyang, it doesn't mean that her life will be easy in the future."
"Today, Zhong Heyang made three rules for her. She will never have her own children in this life."
"Without a child, she would be treated like a slave in the Zhong family."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiumei's eyes lit up, "If it's really like what you said, then the money-losing goods will not have a good life."
Lin Mengyao smiled confidently: "Yes, Mom, when I go to the countryside, the military compound will be nothing. I will buy you a small house and let you live in a big villa!"
Zhang Xiumei was stunned. "Why do you insist on going to the countryside? What's so good about going to the countryside?"
Lin Mengyao was afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, so she turned around immediately and said, "I went to a fortune teller and he said that my true love is in the countryside. As long as I go to the countryside, I will have a good life after all the hardships."
Zhang Xiumei was very superstitious about these things and was stunned by her trick.
Now, not only Lin Mengyao, but even she began to look forward to her daughter's rapid success.
…
At noon, Lin Ziqiu was awakened by the noise outside. She rubbed her eyes and found that there was no one beside her.
In the yard, Zhong Xuexi was ordered by Li Guixiang to sweep the yard, and she couldn't help complaining. "It's already sunny, how can a daughter-in-law who just got married sleep so long on her first day? She's like a dead pig."
She thought that if Zhong Heyang got married, she would be free.
Who would have thought that she would suddenly become her sister-in-law.
In her eyes, only Sister Ruan Qing, the daughter of Commander Ruan, is worthy of a person like her elder brother!
How could a country bumpkin like Lin Ziqiu, other than having a vixen-like face, be worthy of her elder brother?
"Aunt, do you hate her very much?" Zhong Niannian was picking up trash obediently at the side.
Zhong Xuexi glared at her unhappily.
"Could it be that you like it?"
Zhong Niannian shook her head repeatedly and said flatteringly, "People that Aunt hates, I hate too!"
Zhong Xuexi snorted, "Listen carefully, in this family, we are the only real family. Even if she marries in, she's still an outsider!"
As she spoke, she leaned over and looked Zhong Nian Nian in the eye, threatening her, "Your own mother doesn't care about you, do you think she, an outsider, will really treat you well? If she gives birth to a child, you and your brother will become redundant, and she will drive you away then."
Zhong Niannian nervously clutched the corner of her clothes and looked at Zhong Xuexi helplessly.
"Aunt, I'm very good. I can do all the housework. Please don't chase us away."
Zhong Xuexi rubbed Zhong Niannian's head with satisfaction, "Very good, as long as you are obedient, aunt will definitely protect you and won't let that bad woman drive you and your sister away."
Lin Ziqiu witnessed the whole process.
Zhong Xuexi caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of her eye and turned away guiltily.
Lin Ziqiu walked to the well in the yard calmly and went about his own business as if nothing had happened.
Zhong Xuexi was holding her breath. Seeing that Lin Ziqiu was like nothing happened, she couldn't help but said sarcastically, "Oh, you still know about it? People who don't know would think that our Zhong family married an ancestor and worshipped him."
Lin Ziqiu wiped his face and said, "I'm not like you. You're so grown up and you only know how to eat at home. You don't even want to do a decent job."
Zhong Xuexi only thought about romance all day long. The Zhong family introduced so many jobs to her, but she always made excuses to avoid them. Finally, she was persuaded to become a substitute teacher.
