Chapter 169 Idea
Zhang Chuan slowly turned around and saw a bright and beautiful face.
The woman in front of him had fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. Her eyes seemed to speak volumes, blinking rapidly. In particular, she had a noble air about her. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he just felt that she was different from the other women in the village.
When did such a beautiful girl appear in the village?
How come he didn't know this before?
Beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!
Zhang Chuan had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.
The woman was smiling and very close to him; he could even smell her fragrance, which captivated him.
"Yes, I am Zhang Chuan. How do you know me?" Zhang Chuan stared at her, but his mind was elsewhere.
Could this woman have taken a liking to him?
Thinking of this, he rubbed his hands together, his eyes filled with excitement.
These days, if a woman takes the initiative to chat up a man, it's almost certain that she's interested in him, and he suddenly feels confident again.
If this woman likes him, he can start dating her right away.
At this moment, Zhang Chuan immediately forgot about Feng Xiuhe. Originally, he was attracted to Feng Xiuhe because she was pretty, but now he found that someone was prettier than her, and Feng Xiuhe was a married woman. How could she be worthy of him?
Compared to the woman in front of her, Feng Xiuhe was far inferior.
Shen Zhixia looked at him with a smile and said, "Feng Xiuhe used to be my sister-in-law, but she isn't anymore after she divorced Huo Hua. I came here this time because Feng Xiuhe asked me to come find you."
Zhang Chuan frowned and said, "Then you are Huo Hua's sister. No, Huo Hua only has one sister named Huo Chunyan. You are his sister-in-law."
He couldn't help but exclaim, "You actually got married?"
Shen Zhixia found his explanation puzzling, but she still nodded: "I am Huo Chenzhou's wife, we are married, so what?"
Zhang Chuan: "..."
He had thought this woman was interested in him, but it turned out she was married. Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Zhixia with hostility.
He was also a little jealous of Huo Chenzhou. Several neighboring villages had heard of Huo Chenzhou. Huo Chenzhou was considered a very successful person. After joining the army, he rose all the way to the rank of regimental commander and kept getting promoted, which was enviable. They had heard that he got married before, but he did not come back to the village to hold the wedding, so no one knew what his wife looked like.
So his wife is actually this beautiful? It's so enviable! How come Huo Chenzhou gets all the good luck...?
Shen Zhixia wasn't sure what kind of personality Zhang Chuan had, so she just said, "It's like this, Feng Xiuhe has told me everything. She said that Ya Ya is your child with her, so you have to pay child support. From now on, you will be the one to take care of Ya Ya."
Zhang Chuan never took care of this child before, and even after Feng Xiuhe got married, he never mentioned the child. This can only mean that Zhang Chuan didn't want to take care of the child, probably because she was a daughter. In this day and age, the preference for sons over daughters is still very serious, so Zhang Chuan was definitely unwilling to pay for it.
Sure enough, Zhang Chuan's eyes widened immediately. He was about to say something, but after meeting Shen Zhixia's gaze, he became wary and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean by 'my daughter'? My relationship with Feng Xiuhe is completely innocent. Don't talk nonsense."
oh……
It seems it's not too stupid, and quite vigilant.
However, Shen Zhixia already knew everything, so even if Zhang Chuan didn't admit it, there was nothing she could do.
Shen Zhixia said, "Do you know why I know your name? It's because Feng Xiuhe told me about this. She originally wanted to come and tell you about it in person, but she was afraid of arguing with you, so she asked me to come. She said that either you pay her two thousand yuan in child support, or she will leave the child with you to raise. Otherwise, if this gets out, it will affect your reputation."
“If I remember correctly, you’re only in your early twenties. These past two years have been the time for you to start looking for a spouse. Getting married in the village is already difficult enough. If everyone knew you were unmarried and had a child, who would want to marry you?”
If this news gets out, he'll naturally remain a bachelor for life.
Zhang Chuan was furious: "Did Feng Xiuhe really send you to say this?"
Shen Zhixia nodded: "Yes."
Looking at her, Zhang Chuan recalled that Feng's mother and Feng Xiuhe had indeed said something like that. Feng Xiuhe had considered giving Ya Ya to him, but he was unwilling.
Anyway, Feng Xiuhe didn't seem willing to raise children, so he was even less willing.
It seemed that Feng Xiuhe had given him two choices, but in reality, she just wanted him to give her two thousand yuan. After all, he absolutely could not take care of the child himself. This child had lived in the village for so many years, and everyone knew that she was Feng Xiuhe and Huo Hua's child. If she suddenly appeared in his house, what kind of behavior would that be?
As for Feng Xiuhe demanding two thousand yuan! He felt that Feng Xiuhe was capable of such a thing. After all, Feng Xiuhe was a woman who had been married before, and the Feng family could still ask for an exorbitant dowry of eight hundred yuan. This family was truly shameless.
If Feng Xiuhe had come to talk to him about this in person, he would definitely have lost his temper. But Feng Xiuhe was very clever this time, so she found such a beautiful woman to come and negotiate with him.
By this time, Zhang Chuan was almost convinced by Shen Zhixia's words.
Shen Zhixia sighed and said, "Actually, what she did was not quite right. You said she wanted to have this child, so she should raise it herself. Now she's scheming against you and asking you for so much money. You know, this is two thousand yuan, not twenty yuan. Who can come up with that?"
"I was just acting as a messenger."
Zhang Chuan felt as if he had found a kindred spirit: "This woman is too greedy. She even uses this kind of thing to threaten me. She's really obsessed with money. Go tell her that I don't have any money, not a single penny. She can forget about getting a single penny from me."
He was furious, his chest heaving. When he first learned that Feng Xiuhe had given birth to his child, Zhang Chuan was quite proud.
After all, even if Huo Hua married Feng Xiuhe, he was still cheated on. That's why he visits the children every year and gives them red envelopes. He does these things not because he likes the children that much, but purely because of his secret pride. And now, Feng Xiuhe is threatening him.
