Chapter 22: In the same room



Zheng Youlin and his family of three are going to buy fabric.

Chen Lifang said: "Otherwise, I won't need the down jacket anymore and make one for your grandma. Your grandpa gave you so much dowry money."

Zheng Baozhu said: "Grandpa gave me the dowry money because I helped him maintain his relationship with the Song family."

Zheng Youlin said: "Baozhu is right. When Dad gave the money to Baozhu, he said it was compensation for her."

Chen Lifang was still a little hesitant: "But we have done all of them, except for Mom. Mom will definitely be dissatisfied."

Zheng Youlin said: "Mom doesn't love Baozhu, she loves the children of my eldest brother the most and lets them do it for her."

Zheng Youlin is a rebel in the Zheng family. He has been a constant worry to his family since he was a child. He became better after getting married and was able to listen to Chen Lifang's words.

At the beginning, Zheng Baoyi and Jiang Chongming slept together and were caught by the two families. If Chen Lifang had not stopped them, Zheng Youlin might have broken Jiang Chongming's legs because he was concerned that Jiang Chongming's father was the current director of the textile factory.

Later, Director Jiang brought Jiang Chongming to kneel down before Zheng Youlin and apologize, and only then did the two families decide to let the two get married.

Dealt with the matters between the Jiang and Zheng families, as well as the marriage with the Song family.

If the Zheng family breaks off the engagement, the friendship between the two families will be gone, and Mr. Zheng will never agree to that.

Fortunately, Mr. Song is easy to talk to, as long as the girl who marries into the family is the granddaughter of the Zheng family.

The family of three discussed it and decided to make a down vest for Mrs. Zheng.

When I went to measure Mrs. Zheng's size, she was very happy to hear that she wanted to make a down vest for her.

But when she found out that her son and daughter-in-law both wanted to make down jackets, Mrs. Zheng's face darkened and she said angrily that she didn't want them.

Zheng Youlin said happily, "Mom, it's just right that you don't need to. It will save some money for Baozhu. I didn't plan to make one for you originally, but Lifang insisted on making a vest for you, so I reluctantly agreed."

Then he said to Chen Lifang: "I told you, Mom definitely doesn't want it, now you have given up."

Having said that, Zheng Youlin took his wife and daughter out.

Old Mrs. Zheng was just being stubborn, but she didn't really not want it. She had tried on the old man's down jacket and it was so warm, and she had long wanted one.

Seeing that his son really didn't let him do it, he immediately called him: "Come back here!"

Zheng Youlin stopped and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me. We need to go out and buy some fabric."

Old Mrs. Zheng couldn't hold back her face, but she wanted the vest, so she whispered, "If you want to make it, just make one."

Zheng Youlin walked away with a smirk on his face.

After arriving at the tailor shop and selecting the fabric, Zheng Baozhu took out the drawings and asked the tailor to make the down jacket and vest shells according to the requirements.

When leaving, Chen Lifang met a friend.

"Baozhu, this is mom's good friend Aunt Dong Mei."

"Hello, Aunt Dong."

Dong Mei's family has a peanut oil workshop, and Chen Lifang often goes there to buy peanut oil.

Seeing her friend looking tired, Chen Lifang asked, "Before the New Year, I went to your house to buy peanut oil. You were not at home, and your wife said that all the peanut oil was sold out. Was it because the business was too good before the New Year and she was tired?"

Dong Mei sighed, "It would be fine if it was really busy, but the twelfth lunar month is the busiest time, and my family can't buy peanuts. I can only go to the countryside to buy them, and there is not much peanut oil to sell."

Chen Lifang frowned: "Peanuts are not that scarce, how come we can't buy them?"

"There is a peanut oil factory near us. They buy all the peanuts on the market at a high price. Small workshops like us can't buy any at all. Many peanut oil workshops have closed down."

Peanuts, I have my own space, more than two acres of peanuts, I harvested two crops, more than 3,500 kilograms, except for some sold to the army, all the other things are piled up in the warehouse of the villa.

When Zheng Baozhu heard Dong Mei was worried about not being able to buy peanuts, she felt that this was business that came right to her doorstep.

I said to Dong Mei, "Aunt Dong, how many kilograms of peanuts do you need? My friend has 3,500 kilograms of peanuts in shells."

Dong Mei said excitedly: "Where is your friend's house? Tell auntie quickly, I will go buy it right away!"

"Peanuts in shells cost 0.7 yuan per pound. If Aunt Dong wants peeled peanuts, it costs 1.14 yuan per pound."

Dong Mei said it was no problem and she took them all. The peanuts were 1 cent cheaper than she had bought before.

On the way back, Chen Lifang asked, "Which of your friends grows so many peanuts?"

Zheng Baozhu only said that he was a friend he had just met not long ago.

When we came back, it was already evening.

Chen Lifang was cooking dinner at her home when Song Zhiting came back.

Chen Lifang was worried that her daughter would return home late and her in-laws would have some opinions, so she carefully asked Song Zhiting if he wanted to have dinner at home before leaving.

Song Zhiting nodded: "When I came here this morning, I told my family that if I don't eat, I'll go hungry when I go back."

Chen Lifang smiled and went to cook happily.

After returning, Mr. Song took the initiative to ask about Mr. Zheng and did not blame them for coming back late.

Mother-in-law Wu Hongxia asked Zheng Baozhu to wash up: "You came back today and didn't get enough rest. Go to bed early."

After hearing this, Zheng Baozhu was indeed sleepy. After washing up, she went into the room to prepare for bed. Seeing Song Zhiting also followed in, she asked, "Why doesn't Sicheng come over to sleep?"

Song Zhiting gave her a meaningful look and said, "Sicheng hasn't seen Chengguang for a long time. Let's sleep with him tonight."

"oh."

Zheng Baozhu got on the bed and saw that Song Zhiting was still not leaving: "Anything else?"

Song Zhiting pointed to the wedding character on the wall that had not been torn off: "This is our new house."

Zheng Baozhu's sleepiness disappeared completely. He slapped his head and realized a problem.

This is at the Song family.

She was Song Zhiting's legally married wife.

The Song family didn’t know that they were a married couple by agreement.

What to do?

"Are there any other rooms in your house?" Zheng Baozhu asked, getting up from the bed.

"You can't live there even if you are there."

Zheng Baozhu scratched his head and paced back and forth in the room.

Song Zhiting sat on the chair: "You go to sleep, I'll just sit there for one night."

"We have to stay at home for more than half a month. This is not a solution."

"I sleep on the floor."

"Is this okay?"

“There is no other way.”

Song Zhiting took a quilt and spread it under the bed.

Zheng Baozhu lay in bed, unable to sleep.

She was not worried about how Song Zhitinghui would treat her.

There are people here, so it’s not easy for her to enter the space.

Zheng Baozhu wanted to wait until Song Zhiting fell asleep before entering the space, but she fell asleep first.

Listening to the faint snoring sound, Song Zhiting opened his closed eyes.

Suddenly, something fell on him.

Song Zhiting turned on the bedside lamp and saw Zheng Baozhu turning over, with half of the quilt falling off.

He got up and covered her with the quilt, then Song Zhiting lay back on the floor and went to sleep.

It was the first time the two of them were in the same room together. Song Zhiting thought Zheng Baozhu would be scared and unable to sleep, but in the end, he was the one who couldn't sleep.

In the darkness, the man laughed at himself.
