Chapter 129 Qian Lan’s Resentment
Upon hearing Mr. Fan’s compromise, Fan Zengzhi and his wife collapsed to the ground.
On the contrary, the happiest person was Aunt Fan.
"Hey, I'll go get Qianlan and Qilin Qilin right now. Sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, you guys stay here, I'll go call Jingxian's brothers and sisters too!" Second Aunt said as she walked.
When she reached the door, she suddenly remembered something and trotted back: "Niece-in-law, you go with Second Aunt. Well, Qianlan and the others trust you."
Speaking of this, Second Aunt was still a little embarrassed.
Chu Ci smiled slightly, "Okay, I haven't been back for such a long time, I miss Qian Lan and the others too."
She turned around and said to Mr. Fan and the old lady at the top, as well as Fan Jingrui beside her, "Grandpa, Grandma, my husband, Second Aunt and I will be back soon."
Mr. Fan nodded, and Mrs. Fan kindly advised, "Take your time, don't rush."
He almost said the words "Don't scare Qian Lan" clearly.
Chu Ci smiled and nodded, but he kept complaining in his heart, isn't this good for Qian Lan?
How could he know that Qian Lan's marriage was plotted, yet he didn't even say a word? I don't understand, I really don't understand.
But Fan Qianlan didn't have such a dilemma. When she heard that she didn't have to marry Miao Shiguang, she let out a roar and rushed towards Chu Ci.
"Sister-in-law, Qianxue is right. You really have a way. Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt are no match for you at all."
Qianxue thinks so highly of herself.
Chu Ci was even a little proud. "So you can rest assured. Now follow your mother and sister-in-law to settle this marriage thoroughly."
"Well, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." Qian Lan didn't notice her mother's sour face at all, and responded excitedly.
Until he was confronted by his mother's stern face. "So, it was Qianxue's idea that you desperately ran away?"
After mustering up courage, Qian Lan retorted, "If not, do I have to accept my fate?"
"I..." It was only at this time that Aunt Fan realized that her daughter was so dissatisfied with her and her husband.
So Second Aunt Fan tried even harder to explain: "No matter what the reason is, you and Miao Shiguang are sleeping together, and it's for your own good."
A simple sentence "It's for your own good" almost ruined a girl's life.
Chu Ci felt that this was enough.
Fan Qianlan, backed by Chu Ci, couldn't stand it. "So I deserve to be a tool for the Liu family to profit? And Miao Shiguang uses me as his grandson-in-law to get him to cling to my grandfather. Squeeze every last bit of my worth out of me, and then make way for a girl with the same fate?"
Maybe he was protected too well by the Fan family, or maybe he didn't want to lose face in front of his daughter.
Second Aunt Fan refused to admit that things were as bad as Qian Lan said. "No, Miao Shiguang fell in love with you at first sight. He will protect you."
Chu Ci didn't know whether to lament his Second Aunt's naiveté or her sheer stupidity. "Second Aunt, the truth is, most love at first sight is just pure lust!"
Seeing that Chu Ci was on her side, Fan Qianlan retorted loudly, "Big sister was also loved at first sight back then, but what about now? If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I'm afraid the grass on Big Sister's grave would be taller than me."
If it was something else, Second Aunt Fan might not believe it, but she knew everything about Fan Qianxi's affairs from beginning to end.
"So, was it really wrong for me to stop your father?" Aunt Fan couldn't believe that it was really because of her that she almost harmed her daughter.
His eyes went dark and he fell limply to the ground.
Fortunately, Chu Ci is very strong now, otherwise, with only Qian Lan as a little girl, Aunt Fan would be in great trouble!
The moment Second Aunt Fan fell, Chu Ci not only quickly reached out to catch her, but also gave Second Aunt Fan an injection.
Aunt Fan stood up straight with a hiss. "Niece-in-law, there's no need for acupuncture. I'll just take it easy."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Ci expectantly: "I guess Qianxue must be waiting for you. Otherwise, why don't you go over first?"
In fact, it was not Qianxue who was waiting for Chu Ci, but after learning that Chu Ci was with Qian Lan, she rushed to Qian Lan as fast as possible.
As luck would have it, just as Second Aunt Fan finished her words, Qianxue knocked on the door and called out, "Sister Qianlan, is your sister-in-law here with you?"
Aunt Fan’s face is so pretty!
Chu Ci quickly pulled Qian Lan out and replied, "I'm here. Qian Lan and I were just about to go look for you. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Chu Ci opened the door as he spoke.
As soon as she opened the door, Fan Qianxue rushed towards Chu Ci: "Sister-in-law, Qianxue missed you so much."
Chu Ci heard this and patted Qianxue's shoulder: "Do you really like it? If not, then pass on your skills. You know sister-in-law doesn't care about these things. Sister-in-law has many secret recipes."
Fan Qianxue was indeed after Chu Ci at first, but later on, she fell in love with the feeling of being able to make decisions in the field she is good at.
But I can’t say that I like Qiao Zhu very much.
So, hearing Chu Ci say this, Fan Qianxue's heart wavered a little. She quickly made up her mind, "Really? But I don't like embroidery, weaving, and other crafts."
Chu Ci's eyes rolled. "How about making sugar? The sugar shop should still be opened as planned. But leave it to Qian Lan. Qian Xue, you come with me to Lianzhou and teach sugar-making skills at the Women's College. Do you think your parents would agree?"
Fan Qianxue curled her lips when she heard this, "My parents said they'll agree to anything as long as they don't castrate the pigs."
Chu Ci almost couldn't help laughing out loud. His fifth uncle and fifth aunt's resentment towards their daughter for castrating a pig must have materialized.
However, it also indirectly illustrates how severe the constraints on women were in this era.
After saying this, Chu Ci felt a little guilty towards his uncle and aunt. After all, this matter was caused by him. "How about this, I will go and tell my uncle and aunt about this."
…
Chu Ci and Fan Qianxue stood at the door and talked excitedly.
Aunt Fan tried to interrupt several times but couldn't find a chance.
Finally, Chu Ci noticed that Second Aunt's face was not right, so he asked, "Second Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Second Aunt Fan secretly complained in her heart, you can see that my expression is not right, can't you remember why they came out?
Forget it, since she saved my daughter. "You sisters can chat here, I'll go notify the others!"
Chu Ci finally remembered why Second Aunt Fan had dragged her out here. She coughed and said, "Second Aunt Fan, you just need to go to the fourth room. My sisters Qianxue and Qianlan and I will take care of the rest."
