Chapter 368 I Don't Agree to Your Marriage to a Distant Place
Howard sensed the doctor's sarcasm, frowned slightly, but said nothing.
There's really nothing to say. At this point, any explanation will only lead to misunderstandings, so it's better to say nothing.
The hospital was indeed professional; they bandaged Howard's wound very well. Just then, when he went to pay, he learned that Chun Ya had already paid.
Howard wanted to return the money to Chun Ya: "You've already done your best by accompanying me to the doctor's appointment, how can I let you pay for it again?"
Chun Ya refused to accept the money, and said with a pursed lip, "Your injuries were caused by me, so of course I should pay for them."
Howard insisted on giving the money to Chun Ya: "The injuries on my body were inflicted by your ex-husband and have nothing to do with you. You don't need to take any responsibility. I am very grateful to you for accompanying me to the hospital today. You don't need to impose this on yourself."
Chun Ya was stunned for a moment. In her memory, her parents always scolded her. No matter what she did, her parents would blame her. When her younger brother fell down, her parents would beat her and say that she had not taken good care of her brother.
After she got married, her ex-husband always shifted all the blame onto her.
Over time, she came to believe that many things were her own fault and that she should take responsibility. This was the first time someone had told her that she didn't need to take any responsibility.
Howard is such a gentle person.
But this gentle man didn't fall for her.
After they returned, they went their separate ways. Chun Ya felt unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.
After that, her family arranged several more blind dates for her, but because of Huo Huazhu's success, those men seemed so uninteresting.
She had no interest whatsoever.
No matter how much her family scolded her, she remained unmoved. Her first marriage was just going with the flow; her family wanted her to get married, so she went ahead and did it. That's why it ended up so miserable. This time, she absolutely cannot compromise again.
After arguing with her family again, she walked out dejectedly and saw a dog.
werwerwer.
The puppy suddenly ran towards her.
Chun Ya happily stroked its head and said gently, "Little dog, do you recognize me?"
wer.
The puppy seems to be saying that it knows the dog.
Chun Ya was even happier. She said to the puppy, "Come with me, but don't make a sound, or you'll be chased away."
The puppy was very clever; it really didn't make a sound.
Chun Ya went to the kitchen, left a bowl of rice for the puppy, put the leftovers on top, and gave it to the puppy. The puppy ate happily and kept wagging its tail.
“You really look like Howard,” Chun Ya said.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the dog looked a lot like Howard. The dog was very good-looking and also very intelligent; it could even understand what she was saying. It was truly a good dog.
Perhaps it was because she loved the dog so much that she couldn't help but pet its head again. The dog was very obedient and came over to let her pet it.
At that moment, Chun Ya felt her heart was healed.
Having a dog is actually quite nice.
She thought.
...
This year was relatively peaceful. Shen Zhixia went to work quietly. Soon it was Chinese New Year. The factory gave her a gift for the New Year: a bag of rice weighing five jin (2.5 kg).
At this time, grain was very valuable, and it was really good that the factory was able to distribute rice; the welfare benefits were already quite high.
Everyone was very satisfied.
Moreover, this rice is this year's new rice, and it tastes delicious.
Zhang Weihong used to always give her any good food she had, so this time Shen Zhixia also picked out some rice to give to her. But as soon as she arrived at her house, she heard Zhang Weihong yelling, "I don't agree to you marrying someone from so far away. Let me tell you, even if you want to get married, you can only find someone from your hometown."
A few days ago, Zhang Weihong's daughter came downstairs. Zhang Weihong has several children. Her eldest daughter is already an adult and has always lived with her grandmother in her hometown. This time, she came to spend the New Year with Zhang Weihong.
Shen Zhixia had met her daughter before. She was very pretty, but had a bitter look on her face. She seemed to be a hardworking and kind girl.
She thought that Zhang Weihong would arrange a marriage for her daughter when she came over, but she didn't expect that she already had a boyfriend.
Shen Zhixia hesitated whether to go in at this moment. After thinking for a while, she decided to leave and deliver the rice after they stopped arguing.
The noise inside grew louder and louder. Zhang Weihong's daughter said, "I don't care. I've made up my mind about him. I don't want to marry anyone but him. I just want to marry him. It's just that his hometown is a bit far away. That's not a problem at all."
“I said no, do you know that if you marry far away, you will have to face their whole family? If someone bullies you, we will not be able to help you immediately. If you marry someone nearby, we can help you if something happens to you. I absolutely will not allow you to marry far away.”
“He’s a very good person. We love each other. He said he would treat me well for the rest of his life. How could he possibly bully me? Besides, I’ve met his family, and they’ve been very kind to me. Mom, I think you’re overthinking it.”
"He's nice to you now, but there's no guarantee he'll always be this nice to you. What if he stops liking you and treats you badly in the future? You'll be living alone so far away, and we won't be able to help you. What will you do then?"
"That won't happen."
How do you know it won't happen?
The two argued fiercely.
Just then, Wang Jianguo returned, and he was somewhat surprised to see Shen Zhixia.
Shen Zhixia: "..."
Did she overhear someone gossip and get caught red-handed? That's a bit awkward.
Shen Zhixia handed him the rice: "Company Commander Wang, this is rice from the factory. I heard it tastes good, so I brought it for you to try. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
She didn't mean to listen to their argument on purpose, but it wasn't exactly something to be proud of.
When Wang Jianhua returned home, he heard the mother and daughter arguing. He said, "I think that young man is not bad. It would be good for her to marry him."
Zhang Weihong broke down and said, "What's so good about it? She married so far away, it's so dangerous!"
Wang Jianhua said, "I think you're overthinking it. How is marrying someone far away dangerous? What's so dangerous about it? She found someone she loved and got married, which I think is great. Besides, she's just getting married, not trying to kill herself. Why are you so agitated?"
“I can’t argue with you. I just don’t agree to my daughter marrying so far away. She has to stay by my side.”
“Your daughter is all grown up now. She has her own decisions to make, and you should respect them. Besides, she chose this person herself and she likes him, so you should support her instead of rejecting her all the time. Moreover, she is an adult now, and I think she knows what she is doing.”
Zhang Weihong's daughter also stood beside Wang Jianhua, and she nodded: "Yes."
Her eyes shone with light because she had Wang Jianhua's support.
Zhang Weihong was furious.
At this moment, Wang Jianhua remembered something: "Oh right, Old Huo's wife next door brought you some rice."
Zhang Weihong took the rice, and a wave of sadness washed over her again.
She was truly envious of Shen Zhixia. Huo Chenzhou listened to Shen Zhixia in everything and was very obedient. Such a relationship was enviable. On the other hand, her man was completely useless. He always did the wrong thing and made her angry.
There isn't a single day of peace these days.
