Chapter 118 Song Xingzhi Proposes Marriage to Zhang Chunxue!
Unexpectedly, Song Xingzhi overheard these words.
He stopped and looked at the person who had spoken, his tone serious.
"Sister Chunxue is a good person, don't speak ill of her!"
The man choked on his words, his gaze darting away: "I...I didn't say anything bad about her!"
Song Xingzhi nodded and continued forward with a serious expression.
His sudden action caused everyone's discussion to pause for a moment.
However, once they were out of sight, the group erupted into an even more heated discussion.
"What do you think Director Song is after? After all, Zhang Chunxue can't have children anymore!"
"Didn't those two adopt a little mute? He even took Director Song's surname!"
"Everyone says Zhang Chunxue is lucky! She's really lucky! Three sons and a daughter, Zhong Guosheng left her a few hundred yuan in compensation when he passed away, and now she has grandchildren, and her youngest daughter even got into high school... Tsk! Even in her old age, someone like Director Song is willing to marry her..."
There are hardly any women in the village who aren't sour.
Not to mention women, even men are filled with envy.
Of course, some of them are sour.
"I think you're all oversimplifying things!" A woman who had once admired Song Xingzhi in her youth said sarcastically, "Zhang Chunxue is already so old, and she's only getting married twice, while Director Song is getting married for the first time!"
"Do you think Director Song's family will agree? Don't be fooled by the fact that Director Song has come to propose marriage; I think it's probably a decision he made on his own!"
"If Director Song's family knew this, they'd definitely come all the way from Beijing and force him to break off the engagement!"
She clicked her tongue again: "At that time, Zhang Chunxue's face will be trampled on and rubbed in the ground!"
Just imagining that scene made her feel a sense of pleasure.
She married into Zhongjia Village, and that was because of Song Xingzhi.
After all, she fell in love with Song Xingzhi at first sight when she went to the market in town back then.
However, she was not as hasty as Zhong Jingui, so she made a special effort to inquire about Song Xingzhi.
Knowing that Song Xingzhi had rejected countless beautiful girls during his two years in the countryside, she also knew that Song Xingzhi definitely wouldn't be interested in her, so she never even considered confessing her feelings.
She married into Zhongjia Village simply so that she could see him a few more times; that would be enough.
When Zhong Jingui and Zhang Chunxue had their falling out last time, she was happy to watch the show, but it was at that time that she vaguely sensed that something was wrong with Song Xingzhi.
She felt that Song Xingzhi's gaze towards Zhang Chunxue was strange.
I didn't think about it before because I never considered it in this way, but after Zhong Jingui made such a fuss, many things suddenly became clear and much more transparent.
At that moment, her heart skipped a beat.
After that, more and more rumors circulated in the village about Song Xingzhi and Zhang Chunxue, and she became increasingly anxious.
No! How could this be! Zhang Chunxue is not worthy of Song Xingzhi!
Song Xingzhi should stay single forever and not be touched by any woman!
What she can't have, no one else can have either!
But today, this delusion was finally shattered by Song Xingzhi himself.
Anger and jealousy, like venomous snakes, tightly coiled around her heart.
She wanted to see Zhang Chunxue belittled, humiliated, and trampled into the mud, preferably never to rise again.
Because of this woman, she lost the man she loved most.
Her new perspective sparked a discussion that continued on this topic.
"Yes! Director Song is still young. If his family doesn't agree... tsk! What will Chunxue do then!"
A dark-skinned middle-aged man spoke up somewhat indignantly: "Look at what you're saying. What if Chunxue doesn't agree to Director Song's marriage proposal?"
The others looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Are you kidding me? Only a fool would refuse Director Song's terms!"
Another person tugged at the sleeve of the man who had spoken: "Ignore him! When he was young, he proposed to Zhang Chunxue, but she beat him up and threw him away!"
"Oh—" Many people drew out their voices.
The dark-skinned middle-aged man was somewhat embarrassed and made an excuse to run away.
With excitement in his heart, Song Xingzhi finally stepped into Zhang Chunxue's courtyard.
As soon as Zhong Aiguo entered the door, he started shouting, "Chunxue! Come out quickly, we've come to propose marriage!"
A number of curious onlookers followed behind, now all clinging to the courtyard wall, watching with excited expressions.
Zhang Chunxue had dressed up nicely today, and when she heard Zhong Aiguo's voice, her heart skipped a beat, and she walked out immediately.
Zhong Xiaoxiao was playing with Zhong Yuanyuan and Song Yanshen when she heard the voice and immediately jumped up from her chair.
"What! A marriage proposal?"
She only just found out that there was something going on between her mother and Teacher Song, so why is she suddenly jumping to proposing marriage?
Sure enough, without her knowledge, her mother and Teacher Song's relationship had progressed rapidly.
Zhang Chunxue walked to the door and immediately saw Song Xingzhi.
Today, Song Xingzhi was wearing a white shirt, his hair was neatly combed, and the morning sunlight shone on him, as if gilding him with a layer of gold, making his already handsome appearance even more otherworldly.
Song Xingzhi stared at Zhang Chunxue, somewhat mesmerized.
The Chunxue he had been longing for was wearing a shirt with small floral patterns today, and her hair was carefully combed. Standing in the shadow of the eaves, her features were exquisite, and she naturally radiated a glow that made it impossible to look away.
Their eyes met and collided in the air, and an ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the entire courtyard.
Yang Lifang smiled broadly and said, "Oh my! Chunxue, you look so beautiful today!"
Zhang Chunxue finally snapped out of her daze, her face flushing slightly. "Sister-in-law Lifang, please stop teasing me... Come in and sit down!"
The three of them, carrying large and small bags, walked into the main room.
People outside the courtyard craned their necks for miles, their eyes glued to the scene inside the main room.
Zhong Aiguo placed everything he was carrying on the large table to the side and said cheerfully, "Chunxue, today your sister-in-law Lifang and I are here to help Xingzhi propose marriage. These are all gifts that Xingzhi carefully selected..."
Zhong Xiaoxiao came over to take a look and immediately exclaimed "Wow!"
Song Xingzhi brought quite a lot of things: gift boxes of snacks and candies, a whole carton of cigarettes, two bottles of beautifully packaged liquor, a large piece of pork belly tied with red silk, a large piece of cured meat, two packets of brown sugar, two packets of white sugar, fruit candies, White Rabbit candies, and even two cans of malted milk powder.
Yang Lifang had several kinds of fabrics in her hands, including polyester, cotton, and corduroy.
Not only that, there are also two sets of ready-made clothes, one summer outfit and one autumn outfit, as well as a pair of pillowcases, a pair of towels, and two bars of soap.
Zhong Xiaoxiao stared, her eyes wide with amazement.
