Chapter 196 Shen Yan's Provocation
In the living room, Xie Jianshe looked unwell!
Shen Yan knew it was because of her, and she knew when to advance and when to retreat!
He apologized to Xie Jianshe in a low voice: "Brother Jianshe, I'm really sorry. You know my personality; sometimes I can be a bit willful!"
But when it comes to important matters, I absolutely have no ill intentions!
You understand me, don't you?"
"I was indeed a bit rude before because I didn't know she was my sister-in-law! But I absolutely had no intention of bullying her!"
Moreover, Brother Jianshe, I'll go apologize to your wife in a little while!
Is that okay?
"Okay, that's what you should do!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yan's face showed a hint of grievance!
Previously, she was a special presence in the team, and even Jianshe would protect her!
Now that you have a wife, you've forgotten about your comrade-in-arms!
That woman, she looks like she comes from a bad family background, how could she be worthy of such a good guy like Jianshe!
Jianshe Ge retired due to a leg injury; otherwise, who knows what achievements he might have made in the future?
A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes!
But I also know Xie Jianshe's temper!
If we can't start with Xie Jianshe, we can only start with Zhou Ye!
Now, Shen Yan wanted to know how deep Xie Jianshe's feelings for Zhou Ye were. She tentatively asked, "Brother Jianshe, you have a stable job now, and your wife is a doctor! When are you planning to have children?"
I can't wait to be an aunt!
He made a witty remark, and no one sensed anything amiss, including Xie Jianshe.
Xie Jianshe smiled and said, "Xiao Ye is still young, let's wait a few more years!"
"several years?"
Shen Yan smiled inwardly!
Several years? Does that mean you don't like it anymore?
Who wouldn't want to have their own child with a woman they like right away?
Is it that Xie Jianshe doesn't want it?
Or does Zhou not want it either?
Young?
Ha...who would believe that?
“Brother Jianshe, don’t think like that. Are you waiting for your job to become more stable? That’s not fair to the girl!”
"Don't you like her?"
Shen Yan asked with a smile!
If you don't like it, hurry up, Brother Jianshe, tell him you don't like it, or say it's your responsibility! It's your family that's forcing you to get married!
Xie Jianshe's expression turned cold, and he looked at Shen Yan with a serious expression!
Zhao Yuanyuan sensed her displeasure and quickly pulled Shen Yan aside: "Sister Yan, don't talk nonsense!"
How could Brother Jianshe not like his sister-in-law?
Why would I get married if I don't care?
Shen Yan pouted: "Oh, why are you so nervous! I was just asking. I just think your sister-in-law is so beautiful!"
Why doesn't Jianshe Ge want children?
How many more years?
"The flowers have withered, haven't they?"
Xie Jianshe took a bite of food, swallowed slowly, and said, "Shen Yan, we're not in the same unit as before!"
Even though we have a very good relationship, it's still the same as the relationship between siblings and comrades-in-arms!
My wife is your sister-in-law!
You must respect her the same way you respect me!
These are questions you shouldn't be asking!
so……
Don't say things like that again! Got it?
"oh!"
Shen Yan was overjoyed!
If Jianshe is angry, then... he doesn't like Zhou Ye, or perhaps Zhou Ye doesn't like him?
hehe……
That's wonderful!
"Okay, okay, I know! I won't say anything more! It's all my fault today, alright?"
I will definitely change in the future!
I promise!
OK? "
Seeing this, Feng Lei quickly said, "Brother Jianshe, don't take it to heart by Yanzi's fault! We've spoiled her too much!"
No respect for elders!
But you know her; she's childlike, she doesn't mean any harm, she just speaks without thinking!
"Um!"
Xie Jianshe finally let it go! Shen Yan stuck out her tongue, indicating that she was terrified!
Feng Lei, Wang Yan, and Wang Jianhua chuckled and even helped her pick up some food!
To express my condolences!
"Xiao Ye, what brings you here?"
Wang Guihua asked worriedly.
"It's okay, those are all construction colleagues over there. If I were there, they wouldn't feel comfortable talking to me! Besides, I wasn't really comfortable eating there anyway!"
"They're here!"
Grandpa actually spoiled Zhou Ye in some ways and didn't think Zhou Ye was impolite at all. Instead, he said, "It's okay, let's do whatever makes us comfortable. There's no need to make ourselves feel wronged!"
He understands his granddaughter!
It must be someone who doesn't like that room!
Wang Guihua handed Zhou Ye a bowl and chopsticks: "Eat quickly, it'll get cold!"
Then I gave Zhou Ye a bottle of Coke!
"this?"
Zhou also looked at Wang Guihua in surprise!
Wang Guihua chuckled: "I saw the Coke on the table. This stuff is so expensive, I thought I'd let you and the kids try it!"
What if the guests finish it all!
hehe……"
Although there was a little ulterior motive, it was for the good of his family, so Zhou smiled and accepted it!
This bottle looks like it was specially reserved for myself!
"Thank you, Mom!"
"Don't thank me, you're still a child!"
After finishing their meal, Xie Jianshe and his comrades cleared away the dishes and chopsticks! Zhao Yuanyuan even wiped the table!
They even have to help wash the dishes!
Shen Yan came out and said, "Yuanyuan, you don't need to do this job! I'll do it!"
Smiling, he said to Wang Guihua, "Auntie, back when we were in the army, we would have meals together, and I was always the one who washed the dishes last!"
I'm really good at washing dishes! Hehe..."
Wang Guihua chuckled and refused: "Little girl, look at your delicate skin, you're not cut out for manual labor!"
Let Auntie do it!
Go and rest!
Shen Yan refused and picked up the bowl to start washing!
"Oh, Auntie, please don't refuse! You've cooked so many meals for us, you've worked so hard!"
To put it bluntly, given my relationship with Jianshe, aren't we practically family?
Let me do it!
Wang Guihua was very embarrassed!
I don't know what to do!
Zhou also smiled! Seeing the way Shen Yan kept glancing at him, he knew what she meant!
"Mom, you can go to that room. Shen Yan and I will be fine in the kitchen!"
"No way!" Wang Guihua refused outright!
Don't think she didn't see it; Shen Yan definitely has some ulterior motives! I have to protect this daughter-in-law!
Don't let anyone bully you!
Zhou Ye smiled and nudged her, "Mom, go out and rest! Ah... be a good girl!"
Wang Guihua moved her lips, "Alright, my daughter-in-law has spoken!"
I'll listen!
"Alright!"
After Wang Guihua left, only Shen Yan and Zhou Ye were left in the kitchen!
While washing the dishes, Shen Yan looked at Zhou Ye and asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to help wash the dishes?"
Zhou smiled and sat down instead: "No, isn't this giving you a chance to show off? You said it yourself, we're family anyway!"
I have to give you a chance, don't I?
Shen Yan cursed inwardly: What is this? What does Jianshe-ge like about her? Could it be that she slept with Jianshe-ge?
Or perhaps, she has a beautiful face?
Is Jianshe Ge really that superficial?
Hey, but he's still so superficial!
Shen Yan's face was full of displeasure: "Sister-in-law, this is your home. Are you really going to make me, a guest, wash the dishes?"
"Guests? Didn't you say we're family? We're family, why are you distinguishing between you and me!"
Zhou said it with an air of seriousness!
"you……"
Shen Yan was furious, and continued washing the greasy dishes!
The sticky feeling almost made her throw down the bowl. At that moment, she truly felt that Zhou Ye was completely unworthy of Xie Jianshe!
"Sister-in-law, do you know? Jianshe is a hero in our army!"
At that time, many of the female members of the cultural troupe liked him!
But he has high standards and doesn't like any of them!
At that time, I was still wondering what kind of girl he would choose! His future wife must be a gentle and kind woman!
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Ye!
Zhou raised an eyebrow but did not answer.
Let her continue!
"You're actually not good enough for Brother Jianshe! You know that?"
Zhou smiled and replied, "Really? Are you good enough for me?"
Shen Yan paused, then said confidently, "Of course I'm worthy of him. My brother is Jianshe's comrade-in-arms!"
They were bound together by life and death!
Later, I joined their team!
They all took good care of me! I completed the mission with them! We went through life and death together; we were sworn brothers!
"Um!"
"Don't you have anything to say?"
"What are you saying? That you like Xie Jianshe? That you think I'm not good enough for you because you want to be Xie Jianshe's wife?"
Or is it that Xie Jianshe doesn't actually like you?
Um? "
"You...you don't get cocky! I'm going to steal Jianshe-ge away!"
"OK!"
Zhou Ye's answer shocked Shen Yan!
"You...do you know what I'm saying? Aren't you scared at all?"
Zhou asked in confusion, "Afraid? What am I afraid of? Afraid that you'll take Xie Jianshe away? You can try me!"
real!
If you can take it, it's yours!
Shen Yan put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Zhou Ye: "Aren't you going to grab it?"
Zhou Ye shook his head decisively: "No, why would I steal it? If it's mine, you can't take it away!"
If it's not mine, you can take it and it's yours; that's your skill!
I don't care at all!
"But he is your husband!"
Shen Yan emphasized!
Zhou laughed: "Most of them are men!"
Shen Yan stared at Zhou Ye in shock!
After a long pause: "Actually, you don't like Brother Jianshe, right?"
"Why would you ask that? We're husband and wife!"
Zhou did not give a direct answer!
Shen Yan couldn't understand why Zhou Ye would say that, or why he would have such an attitude!
"I'll come here often from now on, and I'll make everyone like me!"
Shen Yan said confidently!
"Great! If you have the ability, I'm looking forward to it!"
Zhou just watched Shen Yan work!
In the end, Shen Yan washed all the dishes and chopsticks, and I must say, she washed them really clean!
Shen Yan looked at Zhou Ye's scrutinizing gaze and said sarcastically, "I just heard from Brother Jianshe that the old man is your grandfather!"
Those two children are your younger brother and sister!
Even that idiot is your friend!
Sister-in-law, isn't your family's burden too heavy? With so many people, is Brother Jianshe going to support them all?
Don't you think you've gone too far?
Zhou nodded: "You're right, I did not consider things thoroughly enough! So, I will improve on this point soon!"
These words left Shen Yan completely bewildered!
"What's the meaning?"
"It's meaningless!"
Suddenly, an idea popped into Shen Yan's head!
"You're not going to tell your family to move out, are you?"
"No? I think you have a point!"
Shen Yan's face darkened: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? I just started living with you, and you moved out!"
"Wouldn't this cause Construction Bro to misunderstand?"
What's the misunderstanding?
Shen Yan was furious: "You..."
After seeing the guests off, Zhou said he had to go out for a while!
I went straight to find Brother Luo!
"Find me a house near the center, in a nicer environment! With plenty of rooms, and also find two nannies who can cook and take care of the children!"
The price is negotiable!
"Yes, Miss Zhou!"
Brother Luo knew he couldn't ask too many questions!
"However, Miss Zhou, are you not comfortable staying there? Or perhaps..."
Is that something you should be asking?
"Feel sorry!"
Brother Luo immediately realized he had gotten himself into trouble!
When Zhou returned, Xie Jianshe looked apologetic: "I'm sorry, I made you unhappy today!"
Zhou shook his head indifferently: "It's nothing!"
Anyway, I'm thinking of moving out too!
Xie Jianshe pursed his lips, looking at Zhou Ye's expression. He didn't feel relieved; instead, he felt a weight on his heart.
She smiled bitterly to herself. Did she still not care about her at all?
The next day, early in the morning, Brother Luo came looking for me!
"Let's talk outside!"
Zhou also planned to avoid Xie Jianshe and go out to discuss things!
Although Xie Jianshe was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions!
"There are three suitable houses, one of which has a great environment and a large yard! However, the price is much higher than the others!"
There's another one, a bit further away, but still in the center! It offers the best value for money!
The last one is not far from here, though the yard is a bit smaller! The price is reasonable!
"Let's go take a look today!"
"OK!"
Even though they were outside the door, they could still hear some of it!
Xie Jianshe's face was grim!
When Zhou Ye returned, Xie Jianshe was already dressed and ready to go to work!
"You...are you looking at houses?"
Zhou had nothing to hide!
Just say, "Yes!"
"Why?"
Zhou Ye looked at Xie Jianshe: "Why? Because I have many people to support: my grandfather, my younger brother and sister, and oh, and Chaoyang, whose intelligence is unknown!"
It's really inappropriate for all of these people to be living in your house!
"Didn't we already agree? We're family!"
Zhou paused for a moment: "No!"
Xie Jianshe's face turned pale!
Did Shen Yan say something to you?
Zhou paused for a moment!
"It's nothing serious! She has a point!"
She's not the kind of person who repays evil with kindness; she said some unpleasant things and then thought she could just walk away without a trace.
Oh……
Xie Jianshe's face turned pale!
Turn around and leave!
"Brother Jianshe, you were looking for me? What's up?"
Shen Yan was actually feeling guilty!
What did you say to Zhou Ye?
Seeing the seriousness on Xie Jianshe's face, Shen Yan felt scared and very sad!
In the past, Xie Jianshe doted on him!
Believing her brother had died in battle, Xie Jianshe, as the team leader, would grant his comrade's sister almost anything!
But now it seems everything has changed!
"Brother Jianshe, why are you so fierce? I'm so scared. Please don't yell at me, I'm terrified..."
Shen Yan's eyes were slightly red, glistening with tears.
Xie Jianshe wouldn't listen at all, he just stared sternly at Shen Yan: "Shen Yan, I'm asking you a question, please tell me the truth!"
Shen Yan's resentment grew even stronger!
What did she do wrong? She just likes Jianshe-ge, and she just said some normal things, so what?
It's all Zhou Ye's fault!
That bitch! Not only did she seduce Brother Jianshe, but she also framed me!
Shameless slut!
“Brother Jianshe, I already said that I only meant that she brought so many family members with her and was living in your house, which is a burden to you!”
What did I say wrong?
I'm just telling the truth! Didn't you say I'm your family? Didn't you say you treated me like a younger sister?
Am I not qualified to speak?
"Yes, you are not qualified!"
Xie Jianshe spoke almost indifferently!
Shen Yan felt even more aggrieved and pointed at Xie Jianshe, yelling, "You've changed! Brother Jianshe, you said you would take care of me!"
You said you would protect me!
Now that you have a wife, you completely disregard me!
You've changed!
Xie Jianshe didn't want to make trouble for Shen Yan!
"Shen Yan, I did say you were my sister, but no sister would be disrespectful to her sister-in-law!"
Do you understand?
You are even older than Zhou Ye!
I hope this is the last time. Please don't show up at my house or in front of Zhou Ye again!
Do you understand?
"What?"
Wang Yan was startled by Xie Jianshe's serious expression!
"Jianshe, don't do that, you're scaring Yanzi! Yanzi doesn't have any bad intentions! Don't you know that?"
"Oh……"
Xie Jianshe sneered: "Feng Lei, give up your ideas! Shen Yan has been spoiled rotten by us!"
They can't even tell what's right!
"Shen Yan, I've always considered you my little sister. I promised your brother I would take care of you!"
But this is not a shield for you to bully my family!
Just be a good little sister!
Do you understand?
Shen Yan never expected that her words would make Jianshe Ge so angry!
She doesn't understand!
"Brother Jianshe, I don't understand! Do you know? Zhou Ye doesn't like you at all! I said I'm going to fight her for you!"
She smiled!
She actually laughed!
She said, "Do whatever you want! Let me take it! If I take it, it's my skill! It means it wasn't hers to begin with!"
She doesn't like you, understand?
Xie Jianshe smiled wryly: "Whether I like it or not, what does it have to do with you! Besides, is she wrong?"
What can be stolen?
That's not good enough for her to like!
Isn't that right?
Shen Yan never expected Xie Jianshe to say such humble words!
"You... Brother Jianshe, you could have a much better life! You could have a better partner!"
Xie Jianshe stared intently at Shen Yan and said firmly, "No, that won't happen!"
After turning away, Shen Yan burst into tears in her office!
"Waaah...wow...why? Why? What do I lack compared to her? I have a better family background than her!"
I'm great in every way!
I like Jianshe Ge even more, why not?
Waaah...
I knew her even before she did!
Why should I?!
Zhao Yuanyuan sighed, "Yanzi, don't be like this! Jianshe is already married! You have no chance!"
I... I don't have a chance anymore!
"Why should I? I refuse to accept this!"
Shen Yan shouted loudly!
Feng Lei sighed helplessly.
Everyone thought Shen Yan would end up with Xie Jianshe, but unexpectedly, he got married shortly after being discharged from the army!
This was something no one expected!
Zhou Ye went to look at houses today!
Finally, we chose the one with the best environment, which was very convenient, with hospitals, police stations, and schools all nearby!
It faces south and is a very well-organized house!
The house is indeed expensive, but it's still within Zhou's budget!
I originally planned to rent a house, but I found it troublesome. What if the landlord caused all sorts of problems? I'd rather live in my own house!
Buying a house now is definitely a safe bet!
The house needs repairs in some places!
Brother Luo has already found someone to do this. It's worth mentioning that Brother Luo was my enemy in my past life!
But in this life, it also helped me a lot! But...
Those who deserve to die will always die at their appointed time!
But not now!
Zhou will not be soft-hearted!
She was never a good person to begin with, so use her if you want to! Let those who deserve to die die!
The atmosphere at dinner was rather awkward!
Wang Guihua's eyes were slightly red: "Xiao Ye, whatever happened, just tell me. What couple doesn't argue?"
Why are you moving out?
Zhou has already told his grandfather about this!
Grandpa remained silent about this.
Obviously, I disagree!
Zhou had already thought it through: "Mom, what are you saying? Xie Jianshe and I are already married, so of course we'll live at home!"
It's just that it's not appropriate for my younger siblings, Chaoyang, and my grandfather to always live at home!
To outsiders, this always gives them something to gossip about!
"Who cares what they say? Just stay at home. I can help take care of your younger siblings, right? What will happen to the kids if you move out!"
Wang Guihua was extremely worried!
Zhou Ye held Wang Guihua's hand and comforted her, "Mom, we still don't know when we'll be able to find out about my parents!"
We can't keep having you take care of the children here forever!
What will my dad do all by himself in the village?
Isn't this unfilial?
Besides, the house needs to look nice, and she's a girl; are you really at ease with that?"
"You can come to the provincial capital! Whether it's for studying or finding a job, there's always a way!"
Zhou Ye smiled and hugged Wang Guihua: "Mom, I know you're worried about me! But it's okay! The family can't do without you!"
Thank you for everything during this time!
Wang Guihua wiped away her tears!
"Fine, you guys figure it out yourselves, I'm not going to get involved anymore! I'm not going to get involved anymore..."
She knew that nothing she said would make a difference!
It's all that girl's fault today, she just went looking for trouble!
I thought that was the end of it, but to my surprise, Shen Yan and her parents came to my door the next day!
I'm here to apologize!
Shen Yan brought in a rare cake and placed it on the table!
He sincerely said to Zhou Ye in front of everyone, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I spoke without thinking before!"
It was my fault for being so immature!
I was so willful! I know I was wrong! Can you forgive me?
Zhou Ye looked at the three of them in surprise!
Mr. Shen adjusted his glasses and said apologetically, "Your name is Xiao Ye, right? Uncle, I heard about this yesterday, I'm so sorry!"
It's my fault for not educating this child well!
She's here today to apologize for the conflicts she's caused in your family! Shen Yan, come here!
Shen Yan sniffed, picked up the cake, and bowed deeply to Zhou Ye!
Zhou watched all of this with amusement!
A coup!
Well, experience truly matters!
On the surface, Shen's father was apologizing, but wasn't he actually standing up for Shen Yan?
Zhou Weiren watched all of this and also saw his granddaughter's expression.
He now wondered if it was right or wrong for him to force his granddaughter to marry Xie Jianshe.
I thought it was just a simple background story, but I never expected there to be so much more to it!
"Hello, I'm Zhou Ye's grandfather! Shall we go inside and talk?"
The old man stood up to support his granddaughter!
