Now there are constant rumors circulating in the factory, with people gossiping behind her back that her son married a slut, a slut who even got pregnant with someone else's child.
She now avoids people when walking around the factory.
After the lavish wedding to Miao Fengying, did she even show her face at the factory anymore?
"I don't care. You and Dad are leaders in the factory, after all. How can you handle your son's wedding like this? Aren't you ashamed?"
Jia Hua retorted sarcastically, "How embarrassing! It would be even more embarrassing if I threw you a big party!"
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Whether you marry me or not is up to you. If not, go and handle it yourself."
Qiao Zhenjun suddenly fell silent. He used to spend money extravagantly, so where would he get the money?
Now we rely on our family for all our expenses.
He had already mentioned Miao Fengying's request to his mother, but she couldn't fulfill it, so there was nothing he could do.
"What? What kind of family do you come from? You can't even afford to host a seven or eight-table banquet? How can you face people with that?"
Qiao Zhenjun lowered his head and remained silent, muttering to himself for a long time, but she still couldn't understand him.
Miao Fengying's face flashed with impatience. She was really blind to have chosen such a weak and unreliable person.
If I had known, I would have chosen Huang Xiaofu instead; at least he dared to stand up to his mother for her.
Seeing that she was a little angry, Qiao Zhenjun coaxed her for a long time. Miao Fengying looked at the watch on her wrist, suppressed her anger, and repeatedly comforted herself that it was okay, as long as she got married.
There will be plenty of money to spend in the future.
Qiao Zhenjun stared at her fair profile, then suddenly remembered the three conditions from before. His gaze couldn't help but shift away, and he looked guilty.
Miao Fengying was engrossed in her own world and naturally did not notice Qiao Zhenjun's unusual behavior.
The wedding day arrived quickly.
The custom here is to hold the wedding ceremony first and then register the marriage.
The Miao people are few in number; it was just the mother and her two children.
The Qiao family invited Factory Director Jia and Jia Xiaoyue's family.
Surprisingly, not even five tables were full.
Looking at the desolate wedding banquet, Miao Fengying felt a surge of bitterness in her heart. When she caught a glimpse of Jia Xiaoyue standing to the side, she felt even worse.
There is no harm without comparison.
Miao Fengying was completely stunned, while Qiao Zhenjun was grinning from ear to ear, his teeth showing.
Jia Hua glared coldly at Miao's flamboyant mother, then twisted her hips to press herself tightly against Qiao Jianguo.
They seemed ready to confront each other if the two dared to speak to each other.
Guo Zhixia and Factory Director Jia, who were on the other side, also looked unwell when they saw Miao's mother.
The few people attending the banquet had no smiles on their faces; they looked more like they were there for a funeral than for a wedding.
When Miao Fengying discovered this, she felt even more suffocated. When she turned her head and saw Qiao Zhenjun's red teeth, her eyes immediately felt a little painful.
The wedding was simple and shabby. After a quick meal, everyone went their separate ways. Qiao Zhenjun had just finished tidying up and was about to go back to his room when Jia Hua grabbed him and said, "Alright, you've brought her home and held the wedding banquet. Move out tomorrow."
Qiao Zhenjun gave a wry smile and entered the room with a long face. Miao Fengying immediately noticed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"
Qiao Zhenjun's eyes darted around, and he decided to keep it a secret and find an excuse to move Miao Fengying out.
Unexpectedly, Miao Fengying interrupted him right at the beginning, saying, "I heard everything. Tell the truth."
"My mom wants us to move out tomorrow."
Upon hearing Qiao Zhenjun's words, Miao Fengying's heart sank. These days, who moves out after getting married? Isn't that equivalent to separating the family property?
"What else? Explain yourself!" Miao Fengying knew that there must be something fishy about the Qiao family's willingness to marry her despite the gossip!
Miao Fengying's dark expression was quite different from usual. They had just held their wedding banquet and hadn't even registered their marriage yet. If he angered her and she ran away, he would lose both his money and his wife.
I did some simple editing and beautification, changing "moving out" to "renovating a house for them, and then moving back in once the renovation is complete."
The rest were mentioned briefly in a few words.
Having dealt with so many men, Miao Fengying could tell at a glance whether what they said was true or false.
Qiao Zhenjun was clearly telling the truth, but his words were only partly true and partly false. The Qiao family clearly looked down on her and kicked Qiao Zhenjun out as well.
If they won't let her go home and won't give her any money, then why did she go through all that trouble looking for Qiao Zhenjun? She might as well have married Huang Xiaofu.
Miao Fengying couldn't accept it and lunged forward to tear at and throw Qiao Zhenjun, yelling, "You're useless! How can you be so useless?!"
Qiao Zhenjun was worried about the baby in her belly and carefully protected her stomach. Before long, his exposed skin was scratched raw and bloody.
Jia Hua was eavesdropping by the corner of the wall when she suddenly heard her son crying out in pain, and then she heard Miao Fengying screaming and cursing. She immediately sensed something was wrong.
He burst through the door and saw his son being beaten on Miao Fengying's head. He was so angry that his eyebrows almost stood on end.
That's outrageous! What kind of woman hits her own man?
Before Qiao Zhenjun could catch his breath after grabbing the crazed Miao Fengying, the madwoman suddenly shook off Jia Hua, darted out the door, and disappeared.
Qiao Zhenjun and his mother lay on the ground groaning incessantly. Qiao Jianguo, who was standing in the yard, was pacing around in circles, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a bright red figure ran out of the gate.
While he was still stunned, Qiao Zhenjun scrambled up from inside the house in a panic, "Dad, where's Fengying?"
"She...she ran away..."
"Oh dear, why didn't you stop her?"
Qiao Jianguo's face darkened. How could a father-in-law like him stop him?
Jia Hua limped out of the house, supporting her back. "Forget it, why look for her? They're already married, where could she have gone? She'll be back in a bit."
Qiao Zhenjun was filled with anxiety, but the marriage certificate hadn't been issued yet.
"What are you worried about?" As if sensing his unease, Jia Hua waved her hand dismissively and said, "These days, holding a wedding banquet is a way of telling everyone that you're married. How could she possibly run off with the dowry money?"
Qiao Zhenjun thought it made sense, but he was still a little worried about Miao Fengying and wanted to go out and look for her.
Jia Hua watched her son's retreating figure, her eyes overflowing with disdain. It's true what they say, once a son grows up, he's gone.
He's so excited about becoming a father, I wonder if his forehead got pinched when he was born.
Miao Fengying ran out of the Qiao family's house and didn't even go home; she headed straight for Zhou San's courtyard.
Upon opening the door, I was instantly stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
The courtyard was completely empty, as if no one had ever lived there.
Others might not know, but she had known Zhou San for so many years and knew more or less that although there was a lot of junk in Zhou San's yard, there were still quite a few treasures hidden inside.
She dared not think about what it meant now that everything was vacant.
No, he won't. He won't abandon me.
She was pregnant with his child.
As the sun began to set and a gentle breeze blew by, Miao Fengying seemed to be startled awake. "It's alright, it's alright, there's one more, there's one more."
