Chapter 12: Fair Skin, Beautiful Face, and Long Legs
However, Shang Ruoting had just been married to Tan Chen for two days, so why did Shang Ruolan's attitude take a 180-degree turn?
Zhang Lanxiang was really puzzled.
"Ruolian, when Mom asked that little bitch Shang Ruoting to marry Tan Chen, you were in favor of it. Why have you changed your mind now?"
Shang Ruolan really didn't know how to answer. She thought for a long time and finally came up with a reasonable excuse.
"Mom, I heard from Mrs. Huang in the village today that she saw that Tan Chen's face showed that he would be very rich and powerful."
Moreover, Tan Chen's eyes will recover, and then his future will be limitless.
Of course, the latter sentence was the truth. She only said it to herself and did not dare to tell Zhang Lanxiang. Otherwise, she would not know how to explain it.
Before the turmoil, Mrs. Huang was a famous fortune teller in the village. It was said that she was able to tell fortunes for people and her predictions were always accurate.
But later, people began to believe in science and resist feudal superstition, and Mrs. Huang no longer read fortunes for people.
Zhang Lanxiang's eyes widened: "Ruolian, is what you said true?"
Shang Ruolian nodded affirmatively: "Mom, when have I ever lied to you?"
"But the fewer people who know about this, the better. Mom, please don't go around shouting about it."
This was originally an excuse made up by Shang Ruolian, and it would be exposed once it got out.
"Don't worry, *** is keeping her mouth shut!"
Zhang Lanxiang now deeply regrets marrying Shang Ruoting to Tan Chen.
"If I had known earlier, I would have left that little bitch at home and let you marry Tan Chen."
"Even though he can't earn work points because he's blind, won't you be able to enjoy the good life when he becomes rich and powerful?"
Shang Ruolian clenched her fists tightly, a sinister look flashing in her eyes. "I really don't know what's gotten into that little bitch Shang Ruoting today. She wasn't even taken away by Zhang Heping."
Zhang Lanxiang now understood everything: "So, you really gave money to Zhang He?"
Shang Ruolian looked at Zhang Lanxiang and felt powerless. What time was it already?
Her mother's focus is still on money.
"Mom, don't worry about the money. If Zhang Heping succeeds in taking the little girl away today, there will be hope for Tan Chen and me."
"When the time comes, don't even think about our family losing money. Even if it's just a dollar, it will be worth it."
Zhang Lanxiang also felt that Shang Ruolan's words made sense: "But, that little bitch didn't fall for it today, and Zhang Heping's affairs are not yet resolved. What are you going to do?"
This was the main point of what Shang Ruolian said to her.
"Mom, I want to go to town and look for my eldest brother-in-law. His father works in town, and I want him to help suppress this matter."
Zhang Lanxiang agreed: "Yes, we need to suppress it. If Zhang Heping continues to pester you, the police will inevitably come to question you."
"When the time comes, regardless of whether there is anything wrong or not, it will have a huge impact on your reputation."
The mother and daughter agreed that Zhang Lanxiang would not even cook dinner. After tidying up, she took Shang Ruolian straight to the town.
Shang Ruoting was busy making dumplings in the kitchen.
The dumplings were filled with pork and cabbage, and she secretly added a lot of seasonings from the space.
By six o'clock, the dumplings were cooked.
At this time, the village had no electricity, but oil lamps were already lit in the houses.
Shang Ruoting placed the dumplings and bowls and chopsticks on the table and sat next to Tan Chen naturally.
"The dumplings are ready, eat them while they're hot."
Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng were very polite.
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
Tan Chen can't see, so Shang Ruoting needs to take care of him while he eats.
She took the lead and put two dumplings in his bowl.
"Be careful of the heat."
At the same time, she also invited Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng to start eating together.
After eating a dumpling, several people showed surprised expressions, even Tan Chen, who never showed his emotions, was no exception.
"My sister-in-law's dumplings are better than those in the city restaurant.
The rice dumplings are delicious.”
Gao Ming said this and picked up a dumpling and continued eating.
Li Jiasheng did the same, constantly praising the food for being delicious.
Although Tan Chen didn't say anything, you could tell what he thought by seeing Shang Ruoting constantly helping him put dumplings into the bowl.
The three men were all military men, and they ate much faster than the average person.
In a short while, several plates of dumplings were cleared out.
Gao Ming patted his round belly.
"Boss, you are so lucky to have a wife like my sister-in-law who is not only beautiful but also a good cook."
Tan Chen served in the army for eight years and only came back to Sihe Village two or three times. Although he knew Shang Ruoting, he had no impression of what she looked like.
When she heard Gao Ming praising her beauty, she became curious about what she looked like.
After all, Shang Ruoting is the soul of a modern person, so she is not too embarrassed to be praised by others.
This body does look good, and the height is about the same. Although it is a little thinner, all the necessary parts of her body are well developed. Moreover, except for her hands and face that are often exposed, the skin wrapped in clothes is whiter than snow.
A pair of almond-shaped eyes as clear as lake water, a straight little nose, and cherry lips that are naturally delicate, is the kind of beauty that is unpretentious and pleasing to the eye.
When she goes to the space to soak in the hot springs a few more times, her tanned skin will return to its original white color. By then, she will have fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs, and she will be a truly beautiful woman with high looks.
As for Gao Ming praising her cooking skills, Shang Ruoting really couldn't accept it.
Her cooking skills are just average. She lived alone in her previous life, and cooking was an essential survival skill. She couldn't say how good she was. Today's dumplings were delicious, all thanks to the generous seasoning.
Shang Ruoting responded to Gao Ming's compliment generously: "Thank you for your compliment."
Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng had a better impression of Shang Ruoting when they saw how she behaved confidently and naturally.
"My sister-in-law is different. She's much better than those older girls and younger wives who blush when they're praised for their beauty."
Shang Ruoting didn't continue chatting with them, but stood up to clean up the dishes.
Gao Ming and Li Jiasheng were very perceptive and rushed to help.
It was already past seven in the evening. Tan Chen asked the two, "When do you plan to go back?"
Li Jiasheng glanced around the room.
"Boss, we were planning to go back today, but seeing your house, I'm afraid it might leak. We'll help you fix it tomorrow before we leave."
Although Tan Chen couldn't see, he knew that the house had been in disrepair for a long time. Even when he was sitting on the kang, he could feel drafts leaking everywhere, so he didn't refuse.
"In that case, let Ruoting take you to the captain's house and ask him to help arrange a place for you to sleep. I only have this one room here, so I really don't have anywhere else to put you."
Shang Ruoting was listening to several people talking, especially when Tan Chen called her Ruoting, she couldn't help but wonder: Is Tan Chen starting to try to accept her, so he calls her that?
