Chapter 222 Engagement



In her past life, on the day Xu Cuihua and Chen Jiahua got married, Chen Jiahua drank too much and passed out.

She vomited so badly in the middle of the night that she was practically dying. Her in-laws scolded her for not keeping a closer eye on her husband.

Whenever she thought about it, Xu Cuihua felt a nameless anger rising in her heart.

She left with a cold face, without giving Chen Jiahua another glance.

Xu Cuihua originally planned to go and find out how much her bride price and dowry would be.

She wanted to know if it was exactly the same as in her previous life.

In her previous life, Xu Cuihua only found out after marrying into the Chen family that her family had received a dowry of 280,000 yuan and a piglet.

The piglets aren't actually expensive; a dowry of 28 yuan is considered reasonable in their town.

Xu Cuihua had nothing as dowry except for a quilt.

Because her dowry consisted of only one quilt, Xu Cuihua endured many unpleasant experiences with her in-laws after marrying into the Chen family.

Xu Cuihua originally wanted to find out how much the bride price was, but when Xu Cuihua's mother saw her idle, it was as if she had triggered some kind of mission.

"Cuihua, if you have nothing better to do, go and see what your brother is doing."

Xu Cuihua: "..."

Seeing that Xu Cuihua didn't move, Xu Li's expression immediately changed, and she looked at Xu Cuihua with a stern face.

In the countryside, most parents will immediately change their attitude when they find that their children don't understand or don't get the message.

Having grown up constantly watching her parents' expressions and being beaten, Xu Cuihua instinctively flinched in fear when she saw Xu Li's cold face.

Seeing Xu Cuihua obediently leave, Xu Li snorted and turned to her girlfriends.

“You can’t spoil a child! Look at that kid in the next village, he’s spoiled. Such a spoiled girl with such a temper! He even throws tantrums at my Youfu, tsk tsk tsk.”

The gossiping voices of others behind her were heard, but Xu Cuihua did not listen to them.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Jiayi.

What are you looking at, Xu Youfu? She'd be lucky if she didn't kick him to death.

On her way to find Chen Jiayi, Xu Cuihua saw a rearview mirror on the tractor.

She leaned against the tractor and looked at herself in the rearview mirror.

She looks very young now, much younger than she did in her previous life when she was a widowed daughter-in-law in the Chen family.

She reached out and touched her face; her sixteen-year-old face revealed a sense of naivety.

However, her eyes gave off an incongruous feeling; in fact, her eyes were very beautiful, the kind of eyes that are rare beauties.

However, there was always a sense of melancholy in her eyes, and her youthful and pretty face looked somewhat weathered at this moment.

Staring at herself in the rearview mirror, Xu Cuihua sighed softly.

Modern mirrors do not produce very clear images like mirrors of later generations.

However, it was already enough for people to see their own faces clearly.

In fact, Xu Cuihua was very grateful that she had been reborn.

She returned to when she was sixteen, before everything had even begun, and she could start over.

Xu Cuihua looked around but couldn't find Chen Jiayi.

She frowned, wondering where Chen Jiayi might have gone.

Xu Cuihua was just wondering where Chen Jiayi had gone when she saw Chen Jiayi being scolded by her mother.

She frowned and took a step forward.

Zhao Lianwei's tone was full of disappointment, and she poked Chen Jiayi's forehead hard with her fingertips.

It was clearly visible that Chen Jiayi's forehead turned red quickly from being poked.

As Xu Cuihua got closer, she could hear clearly what Xu Li was saying.

"Chen Jiayi, you brat, who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

"I didn't want to bring you out today. If your brother hadn't insisted on bringing you, you wouldn't have stood a chance."

"And you, you only cause trouble after you come out! I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to have a daughter like you..."

Zhao Lianwei's words became increasingly outrageous, and Xu Cuihua could no longer bear to listen.

She walked up to Zhao Lianwei and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Auntie."

Since Xu Cuihua is not yet married into the family, Zhao Lianwei cannot be called her mother-in-law.

When Zhao Lianwei saw that it was her future daughter-in-law, her expression changed. Although her tone was calm, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when she thought about how much dowry had been given for the engagement today.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Cuihua learned a lot from Chen Jiayi in her previous life, including how to speak.

"Auntie, today is a special day for Jiahua and me. Jiayi, you can talk about it when you get home, otherwise you'll just ruin our good fortune. I just saw that Jiahua seemed to have drunk too much, and I couldn't carry her by myself. Why don't you come with me to check on her?"

Upon hearing that her son had drunk too much, Zhao Lianwei immediately became anxious.

"What? Jia Hua is drunk?"

She glared at Chen Jiayi, then turned and left with Xu Cuihua.

Chen Jiayi pursed her lips, watched her mother leave, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was filled with gratitude towards Xu Cuihua, her sister-in-law who had not yet officially joined the family.

.

After a busy day, Chen Jiahua was completely drunk.

The Chen family took Chen Jiahua away, and their relatives and friends left after finishing their meal and helping to clear the table.

No one was cleaning up the trash in the house. Xu Cuihua had just sat down to eat a bite of food when her mother called her to go and clean up.

Xu Cuihua felt a tightness in her chest. She took a few deep breaths and decided to endure it.

She has no hidden family background, nor any special abilities.

Now I want to leave this house, to leave this place.

She had to be patient and take things one step at a time.

Xu Cuihua quickly shoveled down two mouthfuls of rice before going to clean up. She knew that if she didn't eat quickly, she wouldn't have time to eat even those two mouthfuls later.

Sure enough, Xu Cuihua was cleaning and had to wipe the table.
