Zheng Shuyang frowned and reminded his parents, "Mom and Dad, I don't mean to say that good-looking men and women are the least reliable. They must want to take advantage of you to go back to the city for work. I have seen many people who will do anything for money."
Gu Wanwan introduced herself, "Gu Wanwan, translator at a state-owned bookstore, buyer and sales at a department store."
Fu Jingchen lazily added, "Wanwan's fiancé, Fu Jingchen, is the head of the army and a translator at the bookstore."
As they finished speaking, Zheng Shuyang was really confused and realized that he seemed to have made a big joke. Other people had proper jobs and held several positions at the same time.
Seeing the ignorant look of his second brother and Bai Lianhua, Zheng Shican was very happy. "You are too naive to slander Sister Wan and Brother Chen. My sister Wan makes 200 yuan for translating a book. She can make thousands of yuan for translating a few more books a month. Her salary is many times higher than our parents'. Would she be concerned about our little money?"
"Brother Chen, let alone the regiment commander's salary, his family of four are military dependents, and their ideological awareness is very high. You want to smear them, at least investigate first, it's really stupid."
After hearing about the couple's salaries and positions, Yu Shimei was filled with jealousy and resentment. Not only were the man handsome and the woman beautiful, but they also had such respectable jobs and even held several positions, and they were not afraid of working themselves to death.
Unlike her, who lived in an ordinary family and had finally managed to become a city dweller, she had to do whatever it took to get what she wanted. "You have such good conditions, unlike me, who doesn't even have a job..."
Zheng Shuyang was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. For a moment, he wanted to transfer his job to her, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not right because he still had to save money for Yu Shimei's dowry.
Zheng Shican had seen many things with Sister Wan, so how could he not see Bai Lianhua's intentions? "Oh, you are thinking about my sister Wan's job? Don't even think about it. Her job is in Fu City, and your trick will not succeed."
Zheng Shuyang couldn't bear to see his beloved being scolded. He felt so distressed even if he shed a tear. "Zheng Shican, how can you talk to your future sister-in-law like that? I'm not like you, who was played around by Zeng Jiliang. I believe in my judgment. Shimei is the best woman I've ever seen."
Zheng Shican really felt that his second brother was hopeless, and pooh-poohed at them, "What about Sister Yun Chu? After more than ten years of relationship, you never liked her?"
Zheng Shuyang was stunned for a moment, and decisively distanced himself from her. "I only treat her as my younger sister. No matter now or in the future, she can only be my younger sister. I only have Shimei in my heart. If you go against her, you are not recognizing me as your second brother. Your parents are partial to you, and the whole family spoils you, but what about Shimei? Her parents treat her badly, and she only has me now."
Gu Wanwan simply questioned him on behalf of the Zheng family, "Yu Shimei's life is not going well. Is it the Zheng family's fault?"
Zheng Shuyang was speechless and could only refute with a red face, "This is our family's business, and has nothing to do with you, an outsider. If you have nothing to do, please leave my house. The Zheng family does not welcome you."
"It's the Zheng family that doesn't welcome you and Bai Lianhua." Zheng Shican slammed the table angrily, and said, "Mom and Dad, I seriously suspect that Zheng Shuyang was replaced, or he is not our child. I have personally experienced the case of a cat replacing a prince twice. We don't have such a stupid son. If it really doesn't work, just break off the relationship. We don't want a son who is so ungrateful."
Xia Tingyue and Zheng Zeqian looked at each other, their faces full of complexity and entanglement, but more of it was disappointment.
Zheng Shuyang rolled his eyes. He didn't believe that his parents would choose to abandon him, their own son, for the sake of an outsider. "You are really unreasonable. I look a bit like dad. How could it be possible that we were switched?"
Zheng Shican cursed without thinking, "You don't look like my mother at all. Maybe you are the son of a concubine."
Zheng Zeqian's face darkened. His daughter's words were getting more and more outrageous. "I don't have a mistress, but Shu Yang..."
Zheng Shuyang interrupted him, "Zheng Shican, did you hear that? It's all your imagination. The Zheng family is my home. You have no right to drive me away on behalf of my parents."
Yu Shimei watched them quarreling and exaggerated every opportunity, thinking she was doing it secretly. Little did she know that her little actions were seen by Sister Wan and Brother Chen.
"Ouch, Shuyang, my stomach feels a little uncomfortable..."
"You must be starving. Eat something." Zheng Shuyang ignored the angry Zheng Shican and frantically put food into Yu Shimei's bowl.
Yu Shimei had been craving for it for a long time. The food at the Zheng family was even better than that at the county magistrate's house. It was all seafood that she had never eaten before. Didn't Zheng Shuyang just say that there were still a lot of them in the kitchen and she could take them home directly? Anyway, with Zheng Shuyang the fool around, the Zheng family wouldn't dare to refuse, unless they didn't want their own son.
"If you have a bad stomach, you can eat meat. Aren't you afraid of gastric bleeding?" Zheng Shican rolled his eyes and said mischievously, "My sister Wan is an excellent doctor. Didn't you say you have a serious illness? Let sister Wan take a look at you."
Yu Shimei put down the seafood that he was about to eat and rubbed his temples pretentiously, "No need, it's all an old problem."
"Zheng Shican, what are you thinking? No matter how good Gu Wanwan is, can she be better than the old doctor?" Zheng Shuyang secretly complained in his heart, not giving Gu Wanwan and Zheng Shican the opportunity to throw dirty water, "Shimei, don't worry about them, just eat, I'll take care of it."
Yu Shimei was reserved in words, but his hands were decisive in their movements. "Uncle and aunt, you shouldn't mind if I eat a little of your food, right? It's all because of my sickness..."
Zheng Shican slapped the chopsticks out of her hand, "You are not allowed to eat this. These are all Sister Wan's. You didn't spend a penny, so you are not entitled to eat this. I say, Zheng Shuyang, if you have any backbone, you should eat for yourself. Don't expect your parents to support you in your old age, unless you are willing to be a parasite."
Zheng Shuyang was very embarrassed. He had given all his money to Shimei, so how could he have any spare money to treat her to a meal at a state-owned restaurant?
Yu Shimei looked very confused, "Why can't the son of the Zheng family eat the food? It seems that uncle and aunt really don't like me. This is my first time here, and the food you treated me to is not as rich as this. I am not as close as my goddaughter."
"Mom and Dad, I don't expect you to treat me fairly. At least let Shimei have a bite. Am I not even worthy of being their son?" Zheng Shuyang felt very unbalanced. What heinous crime did Shimei commit to deserve such disgust from his parents? "You will definitely not be able to finish such a large table of food. I will pack some for Shimei's parents."
"Mom and Dad, you are the director of the Dove Tail Club after all, you can't be extravagant, what if someone reports you? These seafoods are a nuisance if they are left at home, I will move to Shimei's house, Shimei is in poor health, he needs to be nourished, just treat it as your son begging you, please stop making trouble with me, okay?"
"Do you dare to try it?" Zheng Shican stood in front of him.
Gu Wanwan didn't take action, not because she didn't care, but because she wanted to see how confused Zheng Shuyang was and whether he could still be rescued.
