"Brother Zhang, I..." Liu Wangchun wanted to say something, but after saying a few words, he couldn't continue.
Her eyes were red-rimmed, and she looked rather pitiful.
Although she is not young, there is no sense of incongruity in the expression on her face.
Zhang Junan felt a pang of sympathy, and his previously stern face immediately softened.
"Comrade Liu, I'm not blaming you. I just think you're belittling yourself too much. Whether it's your second marriage or your first, I don't care. What I care about is you as a person."
“Neither my dad nor I have ever cared about these things, and I hope you won’t either. Our whole family loves you and wants you to be part of our family. We don’t care about what happened before; we only care about your future.”
After hearing Zhang Junan's words, Liu Wangchun could no longer hold back his tears and they fell.
Brother Zhang is indeed a good person, the old man is a good person, and even Xia Meizi is a good person.
She knew she had met a good person and was very happy.
"Alright, now that we've talked it out, let's not worry about it so much. Let's just live our lives well. Why think about anything else? As long as we're happy, that's more important than anything else."
The old man finally made the decision, and that was the end of it.
Liu Wangchun blushed a little when he saw Xia Anyan.
They had always called each other sisters, but he never expected that he would become Xia Anyan's stepmother. If this were to get out, it would be really embarrassing to face people.
Xia Anyan held her hand and smiled happily: "I understand. Why worry so much? We're still friends. Let's just mind our own business and not worry about so much."
Liu Wangchun nodded and pulled Xia Anyan aside to chat about the things they needed to prepare for the wedding.
Despite having been married once before, she was never this nervous or excited during her last wedding.
She had to ask Xia Anyan for her opinion on everything, and even wanted her to give her advice directly.
Xia Anyan could not agree to that.
This is their wedding, how can she, as their daughter, overstep her bounds?
Even if they need to discuss it, it should be Liu Wangchun and Zhang Junan who do so.
Finally, Xia Anyan packed the person up and sent them directly to Zhang Junan.
...
Three days later, Boss Xiong sent someone to deliver a message.
He was indeed capable; in just three days, he managed to acquire a large, fat pig weighing three or four hundred pounds.
Xia Anyan was very satisfied after reviewing it and paid him the money on the spot.
The old man was quite generous; he only added a small service fee on top of the pig purchase price and didn't ask for more.
Xia Anyan naturally remembered this favor and planned to get him more nice things later.
Boss Xiong seemed quite interested in their family, and even offered to attend the wedding.
Xia Anyan could not agree to this. If she did, wouldn't she be exposed?
"Brother, I can't make a decision either. Maybe I should go back and ask my man."
These words already explained everything, but for some reason, Boss Xiong nodded thoughtfully: "Alright, then go back and ask your brother if he's willing. Don't worry, I, Old Xiong, am not one to eat for free. I'll definitely give him a big red envelope."
Xia Anyan smiled and saw the person off.
Emma, this person is really...
It seems I should avoid contact with Boss Xiong in the future, otherwise I might actually be exposed.
Once everyone had evacuated, Xia Anyan put the pig into her spatial dimension and began to slaughter it.
She doesn't need to do it herself; she just needs to input commands into the space, although it will consume some resources.
But she doesn't lack anything.
After everything was done, Xia Anyan only took a leg from inside, then got some pork fat and pork belly, and left. As for the rest, they were all left in the space.
"Grandpa, look!" Xia Anyan called out hurriedly as soon as she entered the door.
When Grandpa Xia heard the commotion, he came out to check and was shocked to see so much meat.
Zhang Junan has been worrying about hosting a dinner party these past few days, and he's even considering going to the back mountain of the military base to hunt some pheasants and rabbits.
Seeing the meat now, he immediately abandoned the idea, but he felt even more affection for Xia Anyan.
"Ayan, thank you for your hard work."
"It must have been difficult for you to get these things, how much did it cost?"
Xia Anyan waved her hand dismissively: "Dad, this is a wedding gift for you and Sister Liu. Besides, we're family. If you bring up money with me, it'll hurt our relationship. Believe me or not, the moment you give me the money, I'll break off all ties with you!"
Since Xia Anyan had already said that, Zhang Junan didn't dare to bring up money with her again.
However, he's getting married soon, so there are many things that need to be clarified beforehand.
"Ayan, I've talked to Chun, and we don't plan to have any more children, so..."
But before he could finish speaking, Xia Anyan interrupted him.
"Dad, you two are still young, why don't you want children?"
“If you don’t want children because of me, then there’s really no need for that. I’m an adult and I’m married. I can take care of myself and do a lot of things. I don’t need you to do anything for me, and I don’t need you to give up anything.”
“Grandpa, I can take care of you. Even without you, our family can live a good life.”
Zhang Junan remained silent for a long time after hearing what she said.
The old man came out of the house and noticed that the two of them looked strange, which puzzled him.
He was about to ask what was going on when Zhang Junan shook his head: "Ayan, it's not what you think. We don't want children, not because of you, and not because of the old man."
“Ah Chun has already given birth once before, and she has survived a near-death experience. I don’t want her to go through that again.”
"I've never thought about having children, and I've never even thought about getting married. Having you is enough for me in this life, and Ah Chun also said that we can live a good life together even without having children."
Grandpa Xia turned back the way he came, without going any further or trying to communicate with the two of them.
He's an old man, what's the point of asking these questions?
As long as they decide for themselves, that's fine.
It's unclear how they communicated afterwards, but when Zhang Junan and Liu Wangchun got married, they only held a banquet with two tables. Besides inviting a few close female relatives from the family compound, they only invited a few neighbors and Liu Wangchun's family members.
Although there were few people, the wedding was lively and just as good as a first wedding.
Many people envy Liu Wangchun, and she herself is very happy.
