He Ping may have been holding a grudge against Xuemei because she had rejected him before. After knowing that Xuemei and Han Chen were engaged, he spread the news that Xuemei was a brother-supporting woman and that she would definitely be abandoned by Han Chen in the end.
That afternoon, Han Chen rode his bicycle to the commune to pick up the package sent by the Lin family. Yesterday, the postman asked Xuemei to take Han Chen's letter back. There were quite a lot of things in it, so Han Chen had to sign in person to pick it up.
Han Chen took two large packages, tied one to the back seat of the bicycle, and put the other in a backpack and carried it on his back.
Han Chen looked at the time. It was only five o'clock. Xuemei asked him to push his bicycle to the lounge, put his things down, sit inside for a while and wait for her to get off work together.
Just as Xuemei brought Han Chen in, Wu Lian arrived.
"Liu Xuemei, I heard that you and Han Chen are engaged!" Wu Lian asked.
"Well, yes. Comrade Wu, is there anything you need?" Xuemei asked calmly.
"That's good, congratulations to you and Han Chen!" Wu Lian said happily.
Now Wu Lian felt relieved. She always felt that many women were coveting her He Ping, and she believed that Xuemei was the one who posed the greatest threat to her. Xuemei had a formal job and was beautiful. After Wu Lian was able to go to the fields, she came to the supply and marketing cooperative from time to time, one to keep an eye on He Ping, and the other to prevent Xuemei from getting close to her He Ping.
Xuemei was a little flattered to see Wu Lian suddenly so kind. She said, "Thank you for your blessing, Comrade Wu. Are you selling anything?"
"Do you have any White Rabbit milk candy left? If you do, give me a pound!" Wu Lian said proudly.
Xuemei looked at Wu Lian in surprise, and Zhang Aiping next to her also looked at Wu Lian in shock. She didn't expect that she could speak normally.
Xuemei recovered, weighed out a pound of White Rabbit candy, and said, "Comrade Wu, you've arrived just in time. There's only a little over a pound left. Your pound of White Rabbit candy is two yuan and twenty-five cents. Please take it!"
Wu Lian took the things, put the money on the counter and left.
Seeing how neat Wu Lian was today, Zhang Aiping came up to Xuemei and said, "The sun is really rising from the west today!"
Wu Lian spread her hands in confusion.
After a while, Xuemei saw that it was almost time, so she decided to go to the lounge to tell Han Chen that she was leaving.
When I walked to the door of the lounge, I heard He Ping say hypocritically: "Comrade Han, after thinking about it, I still have to tell you these things.
Comrade Liu Xuemei, you appear to have good conditions, good looks, and a job. But she trusts her parents very much. Her salary goes to her two younger brothers, and her parents are also asking for three transfers and one ring. Worst of all, she might even want you to be her live-in son-in-law.
It's not too late to regret before you marry Liu Xuemei. Otherwise, you'll be left speechless in Liujia Village. I heard that the village chief is Liu Xuemei's father."
Just as Xuemei was about to push the door open, she heard Han Chen reply, "Comrade He, thank you for your reminder. However, none of this is a problem for me. As long as Comrade Liu Xuemei is willing to marry me, everything I have will be hers. Whatever she wants or wants to do, I will help her!"
He Ping saw that Han Chen's reaction was not what he expected, and said anxiously: "You have been deceived by her, you will regret it later!"
Xuemei pushed the door open and said to He Ping with a cold face, "Comrade He, you should mind your own business! It's not your turn to dictate what happens between me and my partner!"
"I'm right again. You said it to me yourself." After Han Chen finished speaking, he gave Xuemei a look in an ambiguous manner.
Xuemei looked at He Ping's provocative look, walked over to Han Chen, held his arm intimately, looked at him intently and said, "Comrade He, I was the one who said this before! But I also said that if my partner is good-looking, I'm willing to relax my conditions for him and talk to my parents on his behalf."
He Ping saw that Xuemei was completely intoxicated by Han Chen's beauty, and thought that Xuemei was unwilling to rebel against his parents for him because she disliked his ugly appearance.
He Ping's face flushed with anger as he said fiercely, "I want to see how you will live in the future!
Xuemei pretended not to understand and said, "Thank you for your blessing, Comrade He. We will live a good life. Just now when I came in, I saw Comrade Wu and the girl who came to see you a few days ago ran into each other. It seems that they were arguing. Do you want to go and take a look?"
After hearing this, He Ping's face changed and he ran out in a hurry.
As soon as Xuemei took her hand off Han Chen's arm, Han Chen held Xuemei's hand and said to her, "Xuemei, don't worry, I won't misunderstand you. Zhou Bing and I heard what he said that day!"
"What if what I said at that time was true?" Xuemei asked while playing with Han Chen's fingers.
"Then I'm willing to do it!" Han Chen said with a smile.
"Now that you are engaged to me, you will belong to me, Liu Xuemei. There is no use regretting it!" Xuemei looked up at Han Chen and said.
Han Chen answered seriously: "I couldn't ask for more!"
Xuemei lowered her head, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. Finally, she couldn't help herself and said with a smile: "Then let's go home!"
