Chapter 162 Life Events
Cheng Meifang moved her lips a few times but ultimately couldn't say anything.
Wei Chenglu suddenly understood a lot in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh and whispered comfortingly: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't force yourself."
She looked at Cheng Meifang in front of her and said slowly: "If you really encounter any difficulties or troubles, just tell me what's going on. I can give you some time off..."
"don't want!"
Cheng Meifang immediately interrupted the other party.
"Really, no need. Don't worry. My work won't be delayed at all."
Now she urgently needs this stable source of income.
For her, even just one more day would be enough.
What's more, the situation at home doesn't allow her to be idle for too long.
Instead of staying home alone with nothing to do and thinking about random things, it’s better to go to work.
Distract yourself while you're busy.
Seeing Cheng Meifang's attitude, Wei Chenglu could only give up and sighed softly.
In fact, she also had unspeakable troubles in her heart, and she was really unable to take care of other people's troubles.
However, the process of waiting for the next acupuncture treatment is too long and boring.
Wei Chenglu couldn't help but turn his gaze back to Ruan Chuxia.
"Xiao Ruan, I heard that Village Chief Xiao seems to be from the capital? Did he grow up in the capital?"
"Yes, it is."
Ruan Chuxia nodded and responded lightly.
Especially a village head like Xiao Zhiyu.
He is much younger than most people and is obviously the one being trained.
However, very few people really know his family background.
Ruan Chuxia was very clear about this.
"When did you two get married?"
Wei Chenglu's curiosity was aroused and he asked.
"It's harvested this year."
Ruan Chuxia still had that gentle tone.
This made Wei Chenglu even more interested, and he couldn't help but ask further questions.
"I remember you didn't have a big banquet? Does that mean you haven't had the wedding yet? Have you met the man's parents?"
After hearing this, Ruan Chuxia smiled slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
"We've been so busy that we haven't had time to hold a formal ceremony. As for the boy's parents... we haven't met them yet."
Hearing her unexpected answer, Wei Chenglu who was sitting opposite her and Cheng Meifang who was sitting next to her were stunned.
For a moment, even his expression froze.
The two looked at each other.
"No...no meeting? Then how did you register?"
Cheng Meifang couldn't help but ask curiously, frowning slightly.
"The two families have already made arrangements..."
Ruan Chuxia spoke slowly, her tone understated.
As she spoke, her eyes dropped.
"How can that be possible?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chenglu immediately frowned, a look of shock appeared on his face, and he sat up all of a sudden. The sudden movement made Cheng Meifang next to him stunned.
Ruan Chuxia was startled by her sudden action and quickly reached out and gently held her down.
"Miss Wei, don't move! The silver needle hasn't been removed yet!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chenglu suddenly came to his senses and remembered that there were still a few thin silver needles stuck in his back.
She could only sigh helplessly and lay back down obediently, muttering, "How can parents arrange marriages these days? It's like a remake of feudal society!"
"Marriage is a major event in life. How can you not meet the elderly in your partner's family? If you rush into this, who will be held responsible if problems arise in the future?"
She muttered to herself, still gritting her teeth and shaking her head in anger.
These words were indeed unpleasant to the ears, and even had a hint of anger.
However, Ruan Chuxia knew in her heart that Wei Chenglu really cared about her from the bottom of his heart.
Whether it is Cheng Meifang or Wei Chenglu.
The relationship between each of them and their parents and elders seems to be a little distant.
That……
What if it was her?
Once this question pops up in my mind, I can't get rid of it.
Xiao Zhiyu's mother already had a prejudice against her.
She is not the kind of person who can be bullied.
If one day the other party really goes too far and makes her unbearable...
She was sure that she would never give in and tolerate like Cheng Meifang did.
After Wei Chenglu regained some composure, he spoke again.
"Those two elders of your family in the capital, from what you've said... I think they're probably quite sophisticated and old-fashioned. When you meet them in the future, remember to be very careful."
Ruan Chuxia nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Miss Wei, for your reminder. However, I still believe in the saying: People are not plants or trees. As long as we treat others with sincerity, I will respect them three times as much as they treat me. But if they don't even have basic respect, I don't need to bow my head and accommodate them blindly. It's not my habit to please others."
Wei Chenglu chuckled when he heard this.
"You are quite tough, and you are quite tolerant of my temper."
After a pause, her expression became slightly serious.
"But, while that sounds reasonable, you won't know how difficult it is until you actually encounter something. Human nature is very complex, and it can't be resolved simply by putting yourself in someone else's shoes."
Just like herself, she also held this idea at the beginning, thinking that one should have principles and stance when dealing with things, and not always compromise or give in.
However, every time she saw Lao Zhang caught in a dilemma, her inner determination would waver.
So, in the end, she had no choice but to give in.
"If you do encounter any conflicts, don't rush to quarrel with them in public. That will only make things worse."
As Wei Chenglu spoke, he whispered, "Submit to them for now, and then we'll talk to Village Chief Xiao about countermeasures."
She knew very well that Wei Chenglu cared about her sincerely.
I was afraid that she would suffer because of her straightforward personality.
But if someone really goes too far and blatantly steps on her head.
She's probably really unable to lower her head and be submissive.
So, she just smiled lightly and didn't give an answer.
Seeing her reaction, Wei Chenglu didn't say anything more.
Instead, it seemed as if he realized that this topic was a bit heavy.
Wei Chenglu then turned his gaze to her face and his tone became relaxed.
"Oh my, what kind of treasure did you use on this little face of yours? It smells so good! It smells even better than those high-end face creams I spent a lot of money to bring back from Haicheng before."
Ruan Chuxia replied casually, "Ginseng oil."
"Ginseng oil?"
Wei Chenglu was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"What brand is this? Why have I never heard of it?"
Seeing her confused and curious look, Ruan Chuxia had an idea and immediately started making up a story.
"This isn't something you can buy casually on the market. It's a secret formula used by concubines in the imperial palace. It's said to be incredibly effective for skin care and beauty."
"What? The palace's recipe?"
Although Wei Chenglu comes from a wealthy family and her husband has a high status.
