"Shen Zhiqing, you're unmarried with a child and you're still going on blind dates... That's really not fair. What do you take me, Zhao Changjiang, for? A ragpicker?"
When Zhao Changjiang gets anxious, his voice gets loud and he doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut.
She clenched her fists, her eyes instantly turning red, and felt the soft, cuddly baby snuggling closer to her. She held back her tears.
She has encountered similar scenarios countless times in the past few days.
There were even harsher insults, with people publicly calling her a slut, a worthless piece of trash.
I thought I was immune to it long ago, but I'm still bothered by it.
Yes, she has never been married and does have a child, but she is still a virgin, not a used woman!
She squeezed the cup tightly to calm herself down: "Didn't the matchmaker tell you about my situation before we came?"
Zhao Changjiang suddenly choked, recalling the matchmaker's hesitant expression, as if she had something to say at the time.
But when he saw Chen Sisi's photo, he liked it so much that he thought she looked like a celebrity in a magazine. Before he could finish speaking, he ran away.
To see her, he specially bought a new Dacron shirt, ordered a table full of delicious dishes, and spent most of his monthly salary.
You have to admit, she's even more beautiful in person than in photos!
With almond-shaped eyes, peach-like cheeks, and snow-white skin, she has a charming and captivating smile. As for her figure... she has slender arms and legs, but her curves are all in the right places, and she looks like she could give birth to a son.
He was completely bewitched, he even thought of what to name their son... Who knew, he'd be a slut!
She's not even married yet, but she already has a child, and she still dares to bring her along to blind dates, as if she's afraid others won't know about her "glorious deeds" in the countryside.
He was so embarrassed!
Seeing him lost in thought, she gritted her teeth in suppressed anger: "Since you knew the situation and came to the appointment, why did you humiliate me in public?"
Her voice was soft, yet resilient; even when angry, she spoke calmly and forcefully, her words striking directly at the heart.
Zhao Changjiang's anger subsided somewhat, and looking at that charming yet angry face, his heart inexplicably softened.
"I...I'm satisfied with you. I can be magnanimous and not mind your past, but..."
His gaze slowly fell on the little burden in her arms, who was pale, thin, and sickly—a pitiful sight: "But this child can't stay..."
If they can't tolerate her daughter, then there's nothing more to discuss.
Chen Si glanced at the ordinary-looking, even somewhat ugly man, and with the last shred of dignity, stood up decisively: "You've taken a liking to me, but I haven't taken a liking to you. I won't argue with you today, and we don't need to see each other again!"
Zhao Changjiang stared at her retreating figure, his mind still reeling. What the hell? A used woman like her actually looked down on him?
Then his salary for most of the month was wasted?
"Um... wait a minute!" Zhao Changjiang stepped forward and stopped Chen Sisi and her daughter: "Pay the bill for the meal."
Chen Sisi raised an eyebrow and looked back at the table full of dishes: braised pork, pork stew with vermicelli, stir-fried pork... all of them were hearty dishes, and this meal was not cheap.
She laughed angrily: "Comrade Zhao, you ordered this dish. I didn't order it and haven't touched it at all. Why should I pay for it?"
"That's because I wanted to see you..." Zhao Changjiang said weakly. Anyway, the blind date had fallen through, and he couldn't just lose both money and the person!
Those around him watched with amusement, his face burning with anger: "If you don't give it to me, then come home with me and we'll get married."
"No way, are you sick? Go get your brain checked at the hospital." Shen Sisi rolled her eyes at him.
She's been on many blind dates these past few days and has met quite a few awful people, but this is the first time she's met a stingy guy like Zhao Changjiang, which has really broadened her horizons.
Seeing her start to walk, Zhao Changjiang chased after her.
"No, why didn't you like me? I'm Zhao Changjiang, a security guard at the printing factory, earning thirty yuan a month, with an urban household registration, and I'm the only son in my family. You, an unmarried educated youth, have been having affairs and even had a bastard child, and I don't even mind..."
Chen Sisi's head buzzed. She pressed down on Niu Niu's ear with one hand and grabbed the teacup with the other, splashing it at him.
"Enough!" Shen Sisi turned around, her almond-shaped eyes bloodshot as she glared at him angrily: "Don't go too far in front of the child!"
Her face flushed red, like a fierce little wildcat baring its claws.
You can say whatever you want about her, but you can't call her Niu Niu!
A mother's love is strong. As a mother, regardless of whether the child is her own or not, she will do everything in her power to protect Niu Niu and not let her suffer any grievances. She will not tolerate anyone labeling the child as an illegitimate child!
Zhao Changjiang's face turned red from the heat, and his newly bought polyester shirt was covered in yellow stains from tea, constantly emitting white steam.
It's ruined, my new clothes are ruined too!
He gritted his teeth, heartbroken, and completely lost his temper: "You dared to splash me... Do you know how expensive my clothes are? If you don't pay me back today, I'm not done with you!"
Compared to his exasperation, Chen Sisi appeared overly calm, but her trembling fingers still betrayed her anger.
"Everyone saw it. You were the one who started spewing nonsense and insulting my daughter. Didn't you ask for a beating? I didn't hit you; I just wanted you to calm down. You should be secretly happy! Pay compensation? Dream on!"
Everyone saw that Shen Sisi was neither humble nor arrogant, not at all like a girl in her early twenties. She seemed to have seen it all before, and her strength was so strong that it was heartbreaking.
In the early 1980s, having a child out of wedlock could result in being convicted of hooliganism.
This girl must have experienced something very serious to have given birth to a child out of wedlock.
Or perhaps, during her time as an educated youth sent to the countryside, she married a peasant man but didn't register their marriage. Now that many educated youth have returned to the city, she also wants to take her child back to the city.
