Lin Ziyan remained silent. Every family has its troubles. When it comes to interests, even brothers and fathers and sons are no different.
The fact that the Cao family wanted Cao De to become their son-in-law suggests they had been planning to take advantage of their youngest brother for a long time.
"Don't reveal your family's situation to the Cao family," Lin Ziyan reminded them.
The chubby girl nodded vigorously, "Of course, I'm not that stupid."
"However... I just found out that Cao De worked as a laborer at the port before his wedding to raise so much money, and his brothers and sisters-in-law didn't know about it."
Lin Ziyan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Aunt Chen mentioned it to Grandma when they were chatting. She knew that the Chen family had built a house and that he had given half of the money as a dowry.
At the time, Ah Tai said that this man genuinely wanted to spend his life with Fatty.
"Are you heartbroken?" Lin Ziyan asked with a smile.
The chubby girl's emotions were always written on her face, and now that she seemed so conflicted, it was highly likely that she was genuinely upset.
"No... no." The chubby girl's cheeks flushed instantly.
Lin Ziyan shook her head. "You two are married, so he should indeed take on the responsibilities of the family."
"I really feel sorry for you. When you come back, help by handing out water or leaving some food for us. Don't just focus on rushing to the hospital."
"A man's infatuation can be explained. A woman's infatuation cannot be explained. This sentence is in the book I gave you; think about it carefully."
The chubby girl looked conflicted. She knew what he meant, but she just couldn't help wanting to be nice to Cao De.
They're already married, shouldn't they treat each other with sincerity?
She rested her chin on her hand and looked at Lin Ziyan, saying, "You don't seem like you're dating at all, more like... you're just looking for a friend to pass the time."
Lin Ziyan smiled and shook her head, "Pearl, love yourself first, then love others. I have things to do; I can't always revolve around him."
As a great man once said, "Women hold up half the sky, so we must obey them."
She admitted that she was selfish, but that's human nature.
Lin Ziyan was influenced by her grandmother from a young age and did not have high expectations for love, nor did she regard it as a necessity.
There's a kind of mentality of "if I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate."
The chubby girl pursed her lips and nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
She still couldn't understand why couples shouldn't want to be together every day and constantly care for each other.
The chubby girl believed Lin Ziyan's words wholeheartedly, and her focus gradually shifted from being completely absorbed in her to being completely different.
…
Cao De, who was working at the port, suddenly sneezed violently.
Since moving to Haibi Village, it has become much more convenient for him to come here to work.
Cao De is now feeling incredibly happy and is working much harder.
He no longer has to worry about being treated coldly when he goes home.
At the same time, hot water and hot food were prepared for him. Chen's parents were reasonable and would not make things difficult for him.
"Why…"
Cao De looked up and saw Wei Sheng, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
When he shared his relationship with the chubby girl with this person, he was met with ridicule and sarcasm.
Cao De now doesn't want to talk to him when he sees him.
"I'm calling you! Didn't you hear me?" Wei Sheng shouted.
The others glanced up at him but ignored him.
Why?
Who should I call? Nobody here has a surname.
Cao De walked to the other side, poured cement slurry into the trough, and stomped on it a few times.
He was strong and powerful, and many people liked to work with him.
Wei Sheng had only started chatting with him because he wanted to keep him company.
"Hey, don't pretend you can't hear me. They're unloading over there. Go help them." Wei Sheng strode forward and patted Cao De's arm.
He wasn't even looking where he was going; his nostrils practically pointed at Cao De, and his eyes were full of disdain.
Cao De said, "You'd better look down at the road. The work rules clearly state that everyone is responsible for their own part and should not wander around."
After he finished speaking, he continued working, not wanting to pay any attention to Wei Sheng.
Do you really think he's stupid? Can't he tell right from wrong?
Unloading the cargo was Wei Sheng's job, and he was paid extra, simply because he was from the next village.
Those who work at the port receive preferential treatment as long as they are villagers from nearby villages.
"Cao De, don't think you can rest easy just because you've climbed up to the Chen family. You haven't even held your banquet yet, have you?"
"If you don't want to embarrass yourself at the wedding, then do your work properly..." Wei Sheng suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear.
Seeing Cao De's expression change slightly, he smiled triumphantly.
The others didn't say anything, kept their heads down and worked, and didn't dare to step forward to mediate the fight.
Wei Sheng snorted coldly, turned around, straightened his back, and walked back.
Cao De ignored him and continued with his work.
"ah……"
Less than a minute later, a scream pierced the eardrums.
Cao De looked up and saw that Wei Sheng's leg was pinned down by steel, and his brow twitched.
He was less than five meters away...
He didn't go forward; someone had already run to call the foreman.
"It hurts so much..." Wei Sheng wailed, pushing the steel with all his might.
The others stepped forward and helped carry the steel away.
"Don't yell like that, are you trying to summon a soul?" an old man said irritably.
He glanced down and had a rough idea of what had happened; it was probably broken by the pressure.
The foreman ran very fast and arrived in no time.
At this point, people gathered around.
"Wei Sheng? What are you doing in this area?" the foreman shouted.
He was so afraid something might happen that he kept a close watch on things, rain or shine.
Unexpectedly, something still happened...
“I’ve come to find Cao De…” Wei Sheng’s face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth.
He was in so much pain he almost fainted…
Suddenly everything went black, and he fainted from the shock of the bloody mess on his leg.
The foreman cursed a few times. Hadn't he even read the worker's handbook he posted? And he was wandering around...
Immediately, chaos erupted, but no one dared to step forward.
evening,
When Cao De returned to the Chen family, his clothes were covered in blood, and his steps were unsteady.
He was so hungry that his limbs were weak and he almost fell while walking.
