Chapter 25 Chapter 25 (Minor Revision) Cheng Xinhui...
On the way home, Cheng Xin stared at her worn-out cloth shoes. She didn't understand why Yingying took the initiative to accept Wang Jiangang's things. She never said she wanted to buy vanishing cream. How could Yingying end up playing with Wang Jiangang?
Geng Yunye followed her pushing his bicycle. He would not directly interfere in the trivial matters between Cheng Xin and Chen Ying to avoid making her think too much. He was waiting for Chen Ying to reveal her true intentions.
The familiar feeling of being watched rarely appeared in this life, but he knew it was not his illusion. Either Chen Ying had become more alert, or it was related to the time travel.
No matter what, he would not repeat the same mistakes as in his previous life.
Judging from the current situation, Chen Ying's brain has not improved at all and is even dumber than in her previous life.
Geng Yunye quickened his pace and walked side by side with her, his sunburned arms touching her sweaty sleeves. "Don't think too much. I believe you." His tone was so natural, as if they had walked this path together thousands of times before.
Cheng Xin frowned in distress: "I can't understand why she asked others for things in my name. She obviously just made some money." This was simply an unprovoked disaster for her.
Geng Yunye mentioned Chen Ying's cold expression, "Maybe it's vanity, or maybe she wants to buy something but doesn't want to spend her own money."
Cheng Xin didn't understand Chen Ying's behavior: "I'll ask her clearly when I get home and ask her to return the things."
Geng Yunye put his straw hat into her arms. The brim of the hat still carried his body temperature. "Go home and have a bowl of mung bean soup first. Your throat is hoarse."
Cheng Xin sent Geng Yunye away, but before Chen Ying came home, her grandparents, who seldom visited her, came to visit for the first time. They sat in the yard, talking and laughing, with her father accompanying them.
She thought her grandparents wanted to thank Geng Yunye for sending her the watermelons.
In the past, the two families would eat together when the millet was harvested. Ever since my father fell ill, my grandparents don’t come over often, and the meaning is very clear.
Cheng Xin wanted to close the door and take a shower, but her grandparents were sitting in the yard, so she could only sit down, enduring the sticky sweat stains on her body and the stinging pain from the husk crumbs.
The kerosene lamp cast a swaying shadow on the wall. Old Mrs. Cheng held Cheng Xin's hand lovingly and said, "Xinxin has grown up and become more and more beautiful."
Cheng Xin didn't understand why her grandmother was keeping it a secret. Her father didn't give her any hints, so she could only sit obediently next to her grandmother.
"I heard that the captain's family's Jiangang is pursuing you?"
Cheng Xin suddenly realized, no wonder no one would come to visit for no reason.
Her attitude faded: "It's just a misunderstanding, that's not the case."
Old Mrs. Cheng shook her head: "I heard that Wang Jiangang likes you, otherwise why would he give you the vanishing cream? Why didn't he give it to someone else?"
Cheng Xin explained helplessly: "Grandma, you misheard. I confiscated his things."
Old Lady Cheng said to herself, "People give you things because they like you. Regardless of whether you receive the things or not, it is a fact that they like you."
Cheng Xin originally wanted to wait until the relationship was stable before telling her family, but now she had to move out of Geng Yunye. "I have a partner, grandma. It's impossible for Wang Jiangang and I."
Old Lady Cheng had heard of Geng Yunye a long time ago, and she looked down on him: "What's the use of a retired soldier? He's not a serving soldier."
Cheng Xin said seriously, "I think he is a very good person. Besides, Wang Jiangang already has two children. How can I not tell the good from the bad?"
There's nothing wrong with her brain, why would she become someone's stepmother?
Old Mrs. Cheng was so anxious that she slapped her hand and said, "Why don't you understand? Wang Jiangang's father is the team leader. He has made money for everyone and will definitely take over his father's position in the future."
Cheng Xin pulled back her hand: "What does his being the captain have to do with me? It's really strange that someone like Wang Jiangang can become so popular."
Old Man Cheng suddenly spoke up: "People with abilities are popular. What's the use of a retired soldier? He has nothing but brute strength and can't grow crops. I heard that he is an orphan. Maybe he is doomed to fail..."
Cheng Xin interrupted quickly: "Grandpa!"
Old Man Cheng snorted coldly: "You've already turned your back on me before you even started. I don't know why Fengxia picked someone like that for you. How can you have a mother like that?"
Old Mrs. Cheng patted her husband's arm and told him to stop talking. "I know you look down on Wang Jiangang, but what's wrong with him? He's a loving man after marriage, and the child won't stay with him for long. No mother would be so cruel as to abandon the child. Sooner or later, she will come back to take the child away, and then you can give him a big fat boy."
Old Mrs. Cheng said earnestly, "His father is the team leader, and everyone in the team listens to him. The Wang family is the first family in the team to buy a bicycle. You don't have to work in the fields when you marry into the family. Many people are vying to work for the Wang family. You are so lucky. It is a blessing for you that Wang Jiangang likes you."
"Let's take a step back. Wang Jiangang is in the same team as us. Would it be inconvenient for you to marry him far away? If you marry him, you can always go back to your parents' home. With our family backing you up, Wang Jiangang won't dare to bully you."
Cheng Xin was so angry that she laughed: "Grandma, you are right. With your and my grandfather's cowardly personalities, if I marry Wang Jiangang, you wouldn't dare to say a word even if he beats me to death one day."
Old Mrs. Cheng laughed awkwardly: "How could that be? We watched Jiangang grow up, and he is not the type to hit a woman."
Cheng Xin was full of resistance. She said coldly, "If you want to do this, then go back. I can't be with Wang Jiangang. You know who he was before. He was praised to the skies just because he was lucky enough to catch a wild boar."
Cheng Xin was too lazy to argue in the end. According to her grandmother's words, Wang Jiangang was a promising boy in her eyes.
Old Lady Cheng wanted to continue persuading him, but the old man pulled her up and said, "Your grandmother and I will not harm you. I have watched you grow up since you were little. You have a promising future and you pee farther than others. A few years ago, he was able to marry an educated educated youth. Now that he has chosen you, we are very lucky. You should think carefully about it. What good is there for a retired soldier without a father or a mother?"
At this moment, Cheng Xin understood why her mother was willing to do the opposite. Her mother had suffered a lot at the hands of her grandparents, so she felt that Geng Yunye was more suitable for her in every way.
For most people, having parents-in-law means that they can help take care of children or take care of the household in the future. Without them, marriage will be very difficult.
Cheng Xin felt heartbroken. Her favorite grandparents when she was a child became strangers to her in the face of this major event in her life. They did not consider whether she would be happy or not, but only wanted to maximize their benefits.
After her grandparents left, she looked at her father and asked,
"Dad, why didn't you say anything just now?"
Her father often praised Geng Yunye, but he didn't say a word just now, which made her a little angry.
Cheng Cunzhi sighed and said, "Your grandma's ideas are so unreliable, it would be strange if you agreed. She has resentment in her heart, so you should let her go. Your mother and I will not let anyone interfere in your life."
Cheng Xin was still angry: "What grievances does my grandma have that she has to sacrifice my marriage to make up for it?"
Cheng Cunzhi shook his head. "When you were just born, your grandmother was very motivated to be selected as a "model worker" and "advanced producer". She worked hard every day from morning till night. In the end, she lost to the daughter-in-law of the previous team leader and the person who secretly gave gifts. Those people were lazy at work but good at scheming. This matter became her obsession."
Cheng Xin curled her lips, sympathizing but not understanding: "She didn't dare to make a fuss back then, but now she's forcing me to become a relative? She's negating her efforts back then."
Cheng Cunzhi suddenly realized, "You are right, your grandma is crazy. She has been talking about this for many years, looking down on people who use backdoors, and regretting that she did not give gifts to build a good relationship with them."
