Having agreed to stay there, Wu Guoliang said with great enthusiasm, "Uncle Liugen and the others haven't returned from the fields yet. Why don't you come to my house for a drink of water and a rest before coming over here?"
Just as he finished speaking, a large group of people turned up from an intersection, with Fu Liugen and Liu Xiuying walking side by side at the front.
Fu Shen was the first to jump off the oxcart, and then reached out to help Su Yue down.
As Fu Liugen and Liu Xiuying approached, Fu Shen looked up, his voice carrying a hint of awkwardness and restraint from not seeing them for a long time, and called out.
"Father and Mother."
Liu Xiuying stared intently at Fu Shen, looking him up and down, thinking to herself, "It's been twelve years since I last saw him, and this unfilial son has grown so tall and strong."
If only her Fu Bao could grow up to be so tall and strong, with such a fair and clean face, that would be wonderful.
It's not like he's already in his twenties and still can't find a wife.
Fu Bao took a fancy to a female educated youth from the city. Every day, he would try to win her over with eggs that his family couldn't afford to eat, but the female educated youth wouldn't even glance at him.
Once, Fu Bao really angered someone, and the female educated youth cursed her, calling her a black mountain boar.
After this incident, Fu Bao was depressed for a long time, smashing and breaking things at home, and several bowls were damaged.
Liu Xiuying was furious and went to confront the female educated youth, but the woman was not afraid at all and even looked disgusted.
"Your son's hair is as stiff as pig bristles, his eyes are dull, and he always thinks he's very smart. His eyes are no different from a pig's. He has big nostrils and a big mouth, and he's always pouting. He's no different from a pig."
After hearing these words, she deeply suspected that her son Fu Bao might be a pig spirit in disguise.
She even fantasized that if Fu Shen were to return missing a leg or an arm, she would drag that female educated youth to Fu Shen's side and ask her whether it was better to be like a black mountain pig or to be crippled.
But right now, Fu Shen not only has no disability, but he is also tall and strong. No young man in the village can compare to him, and even the male educated youth who came to the village do not have such an outstanding appearance as Fu Shen.
Liu Xiuying glared at her, "Do you still remember we're your parents? Every month..."
Fu Liugen quickly reached out and tugged at Liu Xiuying's sleeve, interrupting her, "The child just got back, speak properly."
I was really thinking to myself, "How can someone be so brainless? How can they say something like how much money they send back every month in front of so many people?"
Fu Liugen then smiled broadly at Fu Shen: "It's good that you're back. Who is this woman next to you? But it doesn't matter. What matters is that your mother has found you a good wife. That girl is good at everything, both at home and outside. Your mother and I are quite satisfied. We're going to hold a simple banquet for you two tomorrow, and that will be it. You must treat her well from now on."
Before Fu Shen could even open his mouth, Wu Guoliang was already furious. He tightened his grip on the bamboo pole and raised his voice, saying, "Uncle Liugen, you didn't even let Fu Shen answer who the woman standing next to him was before arranging a wife for him. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Liu Xiuying glanced at Su Yue sideways, her eyes filled with disgust, and said in an icy tone, "No matter who she is, she will never be our daughter-in-law."
Su Yue: "..."
This couple really doesn't respect Fu Shen at all.
Fu Liugen echoed, his face stern: "Your Aunt Xiuying is right, not just anyone is qualified to be a daughter-in-law of the Fu family."
Just as Su Yue was about to speak, Fu Shen clenched his fists, trying hard to suppress his emotions and said...
“Father, Mother, the woman standing next to me is my wife. Her name is Su Yue. I can’t control who you choose to be your wife, but you don’t need to worry about my wife.”
Su Yue looked at Fu Shen, feeling quite surprised. She hadn't expected him to say such a thing.
She knew that Fu Shen was actually a person who lacked a sense of security.
If he treats someone sincerely, but that person betrays him later, he will leave cleanly and never give the other person another chance to hurt him.
Jianghuai East is a case in point.
