Chapter 62: Li Wanyue's Persuasion



When Li Wanyue entered the house, Zhang Wenfang was having a tantrum. Shen Zhiwen was annoyed by the noise at home, so he went out to relax.

Seeing Li Wanyue coming, Zhang Wenfang immediately stepped forward as if seeing a relative, and held her hand and said: "Yueyue, you are here, I am so annoyed recently, please help me think of a solution!"

Li Wanyue smiled calmly and said softly, "Don't be impatient. Let's sit down and talk slowly."

Zhang Wenfang's irritability was immediately calmed by Li Wanyue's gentle words. After sitting down, she sighed, "Luckily, you are here, otherwise I really don't know who to tell."

No other girl in the village could understand her decision to split the family home for Shen Zhiwen.

Li Wanyue: "I heard from my aunt that you want to move out with Shen Zhiqing?"

Zhang Wenfang nodded: "That's it! Brother Zhiwen usually has to study, and he likes quietness. He thinks that too many people at home is too noisy, so we discussed that we should just move out and live our own lives, but no one in my family agrees! What do you think we should do? My moving out won't affect them!"

Li Wanyue smiled knowingly and asked, "Did you discuss moving out together, or did Shen Zhiqing want to move out himself and persuade you to move in with him?"

Zhang Wenfang immediately hesitated: "This...what's the difference? Anyway, we are moving out."

"You..." Li Wanyue shook her head and sighed, "Men need to be controlled, not blindly obeyed."

"Hold, hold?!" Zhang Wenfang was a little shocked when she heard it. "Yueyue, what are you talking about? When you get married, you should listen to your husband. How...how can you hold someone?"

Li Wanyue: "You are talking about the situation of an ordinary couple, where it is okay for the couple to be well matched or have a mutual affection for each other. But your situation is different."

Zhang Wenfang: "What's the difference?"

Li Wanyue smiled softly: "Shen Zhiqing is not a native of the village. He has no blood relationship with Dayan Village. His relatives and friends are all in the city. If we don't control him, his heart will always be outside, thinking about returning to the city all the time."

After a pause, Li Wanyue continued, "Besides, he is like marrying into your family. A son-in-law should follow his husband's lead and obey his words in the woman's family. Why did you do it the other way around?"

Zhang Wenfang was a little confused and wanted to refute but felt it made sense. She said hesitantly, "But Brother Zhiwen told me before we got married that he wanted to return to the city, so I have always known about this..."

Li Wanyue sighed in frustration, "Are you stupid?"

Zhang Wenfang was poked on the head by her and said blankly, "Did I do something wrong again?"

Li Wanyue: "Do you really think returning to the city is so easy? Let's not talk about how difficult it is to return to the city. If you really return to the city, what will you do?"

Zhang Wenfang: "Me? Brother Zhiwen said he would take me back to the city."

Li Wanyue chuckled and shook her head, "Naive! Do you know how difficult it is to transfer your household registration to the city? Let's not talk about whether Shen Zhiwen can do it. Even if he has the ability to do it, it depends on whether he is willing to do it when the time comes."

Zhang Wenfang was stunned: "What do you mean? What do you mean by see if he is willing to do it when the time comes?"

Li Wanyue: "After returning to the city, he has cut off contact with Dayan Village. Unless he takes the initiative to contact them, do you think you can still contact him? After returning to the city, if he wants, he can just pretend that he never got married and completely forget about what happened before. Who would know about it?"

Zhang Wenfang listened to Li Wanyue's words and felt inexplicably familiar, as if... as if Jiang Shuinsui had said something similar to her some time ago.

But she didn't believe Jiang Sunshun's words at all at that time, but when it was Li Wanyue's turn, Zhang Wenfang was inexplicably convinced.

Li Wanyue held her hand and said earnestly, "I also came from the city. We educated youths know each other's thoughts. No one wants to stay in the village. Everyone wants to go home."

Zhang Wenfang wanted to fight back: "But I've also seen other educated youth who married villagers, and they all seemed to be living well."

Li Wanyue: "That's because they have no chance to go back! Believe it or not, if they had the chance, they would abandon everything in the village."

Zhang Wenfang's hands and feet suddenly felt cold. She said in panic, "Yueyue, do you think Zhiwen would be like this? He is not such a heartless person! What do you think I should do now?"

Li Wanyue smiled calmly: "Don't panic, this is back to what I said at the beginning, men need to be controlled, you can't just give in to them."

Zhang Wenfang: "How do you decide?"

Li Wanyue: "He's eating your food and living your house now, and the money he spent on the books should also be yours, right?"

Zhang Wenfang nodded.

Li Wanyue: "That's not easy to deal with. You are too soft to take someone else's hand, which means you are too soft-hearted. That's why you didn't do anything to him. At home, you should be the boss of him and let him do whatever you tell him to do. Want to move out? That's fine too. Let him use his own money to build his own house, and let him pay for his food and clothes in the future."

Zhang Wenfang was dumbfounded: "This... isn't good, right? How can I tell Brother Zhiwen to do anything..."

Li Wanyue chuckled: "You will know if you try it. Believe it or not, even if he looks reluctant and is unhappy in his heart, he will definitely listen to you in the end."

After all, Shen Zhiwen still has to rely on Zhang Wenfang's relationship to return to the city.

Zhang Wenfang was hesitant at first, but now she is eager to give it a try.

Control Zhiwen? He has to do whatever she tells him to do? He has to listen to her about everything at home?

When Zhang Wenfang thought of this, she suddenly felt inexplicably excited.

Zhang Wenfang: "Yueyue! I...I think you are right. I will give it a try when Brother Zhiwen comes back! Actually...Actually, I'm telling you secretly, I don't want to move out either. Mom and my sisters-in-law do all the housework at home. If I move out, I will have to do it all by myself, and I don't want to do that!"

Li Wanyue smiled and said, "That's right, you finally figured it out. In Dayan Village, can only the elders take the initiative to split the family? As a youngster, you were encouraged by the man you married to take the initiative to split the family. If you make a big fuss, you will definitely be laughed at in the future!"

Zhang Wenfang slapped her forehead and said, "Oh no! Thanks to you for reminding me, I wouldn't have thought of this! Fortunately, I haven't told anyone else, otherwise they would have laughed at me!"

Having said this, Zhang Wenfang had a plan in mind and was no longer troubled.

She smiled and took Li Wanyue's arm, saying, "Yueyue, you are really my good sister. You just said that you educated youth all want to go back to the city. If you go back to the city in the future, I will really miss you."

Li Wanyue's smile disappeared upon hearing this, and she sighed quietly, "Returning to the city is just a dream, how can it be that easy?"

She didn't know what she was thinking about. She suddenly lowered her head, wiped her eyes, and said hurriedly: "Let's not talk about this. By the way, I brought you some cakes I bought in town today..."

Zhang Wenfang saw that she looked unusual, and quickly pulled her back to stop her from avoiding him: "Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?!"

Li Wanyue paused, and then, as if she couldn't help herself, she lay on Zhang Wenfang's shoulder and sobbed.

·

In the recent blindness prevention class, Jiang Suisui found that Wang Xiaoyan's condition was getting worse and worse. From time to time, she would suddenly become irritable and lose her temper at the villagers.

The villagers had a natural awe of intellectuals. Although they would joke around with them normally, when they saw Wang Xiaoyan really angry, they would become silent and dare not utter a word, for fear that they were too stupid and had upset Teacher Wang.

Fortunately, every time Wang Xiaoyan got angry, she would suddenly react and then return to her soft voice and patience.

After class that day, the villagers walked out, whispering, "What's wrong with Teacher Xiaoyan recently? She seems scary."

"Women are all like this, my wife is the same. I never know when I suddenly make her unhappy."

"It wasn't like this before. I really enjoyed listening to Wang Zhiqing's lectures. Now I just want Shen Zhiqing to teach the whole thing."

"Yes, yes. Although I couldn't understand what Shen Zhiqing said and felt sleepy, it was better than Wang Zhiqing suddenly getting a stern face and scaring people."

Jiang Suinsui felt very confused as she listened to the villagers' complaints. The Wang Xiaoyan she knew was gentle and patient, not someone who would lose her temper.

When everyone was about to leave, Wang Xiaoyan was still packing up and tidying up, but Shen Zhiwen had left after finishing the first half of the class.

Jiang Suinsui walked up to help her clean up. Wang Xiaoyan looked up in surprise. Seeing that it was her, she smiled and said, "Thank you. You don't have to come. I can do it myself. You should go home quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon."

"It's okay!" Jiang Suunshun said nonchalantly, "I'm not in a hurry. It's hard for you to walk back after dark, so let's pack up faster."

Wang Xiaoyan said with gratitude: "Thank you."

When the two of them came out after cleaning up, it was already dark.

Wang Xiaoyan couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the sky, and there seemed to be infinite sorrow in her heart.

Jiang Suisui took the opportunity to ask, "Sister Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you recently? You seem to be in a bad mood."

Wang Xiaoyan smiled bitterly: "You noticed it too? Sorry, was my attitude particularly bad during class?"

Jiang Suishun waved her hands: "No, no, it's fine. It's just that everyone gets upset sometimes, and no one can control it."

Wang Xiaoyan sighed and said, "There are fewer and fewer people attending the blindness-eliminating classes. Maybe everyone can't listen anymore. It's my problem."

Jiang Suisui felt a little guilty after hearing this. After all, among those who skipped classes was Song Weizhen, who went out early and came back late every day. Song Yuxue had already started school and would not come to report to the blind class.

She consoled him, "It has nothing to do with you. It's spring and everyone is busy. It's normal that everyone doesn't have the energy to come."

"Ah..." Wang Xiaoyan sighed unconsciously, "If I were just an ordinary villager in this village, working from sunrise to sunset, and getting married when I was old enough, it would be a good idea to live a stable life."

Jiang Suisui: "Sister Xiaoyan..."

Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly felt emotional. In fact, sometimes I envy you. You are very happy every day. Your partner and his family also like you very much, unlike me..."

Jiang Suisui: "Sister Xiaoyan, don't say that. You are gentle and considerate, and I like you very much. I see that everyone likes to listen to your lectures."

Wang Xiaoyan shook her head and murmured in a low voice: "What's the use..."

During this period, Wang Xiaoyan was driven crazy by Zhou Qiang's erratic behavior, which caused her to become emotionally unstable.

Zhou Qiang has been missing recently and no one knows where he has gone. When he came back, he looked indifferent to her. Wang Xiaoyan took the initiative to approach him and show her friendship, but was pushed back by his impatience.

But when Wang Xiaoyan really got angry with him and started quarreling and ignoring him, Zhou Qiang suddenly lowered his attitude and coaxed her with sweet words.

Wang Xiaoyan was tormented by this fluctuating relationship. On the one hand, she felt that Zhou Qiang still loved her, but on the other hand, she felt that his indifference was hurtful.

Wang Xiaoyan thought, next time the village shows a movie, they should just go out alone. Maybe it’s because they haven’t been together for too long…
