Chapter 100 Bai Xiaohui's Wedding
Zheng Haicheng ran away heartbroken, leaving behind Bai Xiaohui with red eyes and a crowd of people pointing and whispering.
Although it caused a lot of gossip, Bai Xiaohui finally got her revenge and felt relieved looking at all the "high-end goods" in her home.
So what if people gossip? I still found a partner with such great qualities. Let them be jealous!
snort!
If we're talking about who was most affected by Bai Xiaohui finding a good partner, it would definitely be Aunt Yan.
After all, not only did Bai Xiaohui and Qin Ziwen have a past 'brother-sister relationship', but Qin Weimin and Bai Zhenzhu also maintained a 'close neighborly relationship'. Based on these two relationships, Aunt Yan was the one who least wanted Bai Xiaohui to have a good life.
But today, Bai Xiaohui not only found a good partner who outshone her son, but that little bitch also said those things in public. Wasn't she just putting her son's face and her own family's face on the ground? How could Aunt Yan not hate her?
Since the family split up, the elderly couple in the Qin family have been living with Qin Miaomiao and Qin Laosan and his wife. But today, no one has much of an appetite for the food on the table.
Aunt Yan cursed and swore, "Shameless vixen, I don't know how she managed to hook up with him, she's really got lucky!"
Wu Meifang's expression was also unpleasant. Although Ziwen explained that he had nothing to do with Bai Xiaohui, she was still bothered by it. Now that Bai Xiaohui had found someone better than Qin Ziwen and made those kinds of remarks, she had lost face.
Qin Miaomiao was filled with resentment: "That comrade must have been deceived by Bai Xiaohui. Once he sees her true colors, he definitely won't marry her!" Thinking of the things Comrade Qi said to her, Qin Miaomiao wanted nothing more than to tear Bai Xiaohui apart. If it weren't for this little bitch, how could she have been misunderstood by Comrade Qi? How could someone as outstanding as Comrade Qi marry Bai Xiaohui?
Aunt Yan: "Pah! Definitely destined to be discarded!"
Qin Weimin was very impatient, feeling that Aunt Yan was too petty. He frowned and scolded, "Xiaohui is someone you watched grow up. How can you be so heartless? Can't you wish her well?"
Qin Weimin always spoke to Aunt Yan like this at home. In the past, whenever he scolded her, Aunt Yan would shrink back and shut her mouth.
But to everyone's surprise, the usually compliant Aunt Yan slammed her chopsticks on the table with a "bang!" "Qin Weimin, you old scoundrel, are you even the third son's biological father? You only think about that brat of your mistress. She's humiliated the third son so badly, and you're still protecting her? Don't you even care about your son?!"
Qin Weimin was startled, then flew into a rage, "Yan Daya, you've gone too far! How dare you talk to me like that?! How could I not respect Lao San? He's sitting right here, and she's trampling on his dignity! You're so scheming, look how kind Zhenzhu is! Ugly people are always up to no good!"
Aunt Yan was so angry she almost fell over. "Fine, fine, I knew it! You and that vixen have some kind of shady relationship. She's kind? Fine, you move in with her if you want. If you're so capable, then don't come home!"
Qin Weimin, his thoughts exposed, retorted somewhat angrily, "You shrew, you're utterly unreasonable!" He naturally wanted to live with Bai Zhenzhu, but wasn't the reality preventing it? If he really lived with Zhenzhu, the gossip in this courtyard would drown him.
Aunt Yan gritted her teeth: "You shameless old scoundrel!"
At the dinner table, the parents were arguing fiercely because of Bai Xiaohui.
As for Qin Ziwen, who had a past "brother-sister relationship" with Bai Xiaohui, he acted as if nothing had happened. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that he always had an inscrutable smile on his lips.
A cadre's family?
Hehe... Bai Zhenzhu and her daughter are just waiting to cry!
...
After leaving the No. 35 compound, Qi Baifan went straight to the bus station, took a bus, and after a leisurely ride of about an hour, he walked for another ten minutes before finally arriving at a large tenement in the north of the city.
Although both are tenement courtyards, compared to the neat and respectable No. 35 tenement courtyard, this tenement courtyard appears much more chaotic and dilapidated, with sheds haphazardly built by residents everywhere, making it look extremely messy.
Although both were large courtyards, No. 35 was the staff quarters of the machinery factory, and most of the residents were factory workers. Their lives weren't particularly wealthy, but they weren't extremely poor either. Now, the people in this large courtyard were much more diverse, mostly ordinary people struggling to make a living, all busy trying to fill their stomachs, and their levels of education varied greatly.
He didn't greet his neighbor Qi Baifan when he met him on the way. He was arrogant and thought he was extraordinary. He looked down on these people struggling to make a living at the bottom of society. He didn't greet anyone and went straight back to the backyard.
The neighbor spat at his retreating figure, "Pah! What a piece of trash! He's just a temporary worker, what's with the attitude? Does he really think he's a government official?"
Qi family in the backyard.
A young man whose face resembled Qi Baifan's was eagerly waiting at the door. When he saw Qi Baifan returning from afar, he happily shouted, "Mom and Dad, Fifth Brother is back!"
A hunched old woman quickly came out of the house. Her hair was gray, her face was thin, but her eyes gleamed. She asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Qi Baifan glanced at the heads peeking out from each house, frowned, and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
"Yes, yes, come inside quickly, let's talk inside."
The three quickly went inside, and once the door was closed, blocking any prying eyes, the old lady asked, "How did it go? Fifth son, was it all right?"
Qi Baifan smiled confidently, "They are very satisfied with me."
Qi Laoliu: "Brother, is that woman's house big?"
"It's definitely big, bigger than our house."
The Bai family had a side room and an annex room, which were larger than the two back rooms of the Qi family. Moreover, only the mother and daughter lived there, making it much more spacious compared to the Qi family, which had more than a dozen people crammed into their home.
A look of determination flashed in Qi Baifan's eyes.
Qi Laoliu asked with envy, "Brother, when will I be able to live in a spacious house?"
Qi Baifan's smile faltered for a moment, then he said, "Once I get this house, I'll take you to live here." In truth, he didn't want the sixth brother to move in. There were seven brothers in the family. If the sixth brother moved in, wouldn't the other five brothers also want to move in? What would that make his family?
Qi Laoliu, completely oblivious, said happily, "Then brother, you'd better hurry, or what if the woman realizes what's going on if it takes too long?"
The old woman with gray hair, Qi's mother, had a glint in her eyes. "Sixth Brother is right. Things can change in the meantime. You need to hurry up and get the marriage certificate. If the mother and daughter don't agree, just force the issue. You won't have to worry about the woman not getting married."
"Mom, I know."
Qi Baifan nodded; that was exactly what he planned to do.
Soon, those two spacious rooms in the Bai family's house will be his own.
...
Coincidentally, in the third courtyard of compound number 35, Bai Zhenzhu was also advising Bai Xiaohui to make sure she could hold onto Qi Baifan.
"Xiao Qi is a good guy, you'd better hurry up and seize the opportunity, or you'll miss this chance. Don't end up like you did with Qin Ziwen."
She paused for a moment, then said meaningfully, "If necessary, we can use some methods to make him unable to leave you."
In Bai Zhenzhu's opinion, Xiaohui was too naive back then, didn't understand men's minds, and was too reserved, which is why she managed to seduce Qin Ziwen. Fortunately, Xiao Qi came along.
As Bai Zhenzhu's daughter, Bai Xiaohui instantly understood what "means" meant.
She glared at her mother, embarrassed and annoyed, and stomped her foot, "Mom, what are you saying!"
Although Bai Xiaohui had learned from her surroundings how to use her advantages to string men along and gain some benefits, she was still a naive young woman and felt shy about such things.
Bai Zhenzhu snorted dismissively, "Mom has been through this, I know men best. I've never heard of a cat that's been tainted by fish going back to eating vegetarian food. Once he can't live without you, everything will be fine."
"Just listen to me. Look at your Uncle Qin, doesn't he dote on me in every way?"
Bai Xiaohui couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Bai Xiaohui knew what her mother did every time she went to see Uncle Qin, and the key point was that Uncle Qin always agreed to her mother's requests.
Moreover, her mother had more than one "Uncle Qin"; she received quite a bit of benefits from those "Uncle Qins".
This shows that what her mother said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
...
As a result, with both parties determined to hold on to each other, Qi Baifan and Bai Xiaohui made very rapid progress and got their marriage certificate a week later.
That same day, Qi Baifan moved into the tenement.
This speed truly astonished everyone in the courtyard.
Although blind dates and marriages are happening quite quickly these days, it's not this fast.
Goodness, Bai Xiaohui and that guy have only known each other for less than half a month, right?
They got married just like that?
What puzzled them most was that Bai Xiaohui and Qi Baifan didn't hold a wedding banquet.
Although resources were scarce at the time, some people chose not to hold wedding banquets.
However, some families who are particular about etiquette will still hold a party to let their relatives and friends have a good time and get to know each other.
Oh, wasn't it said that the Bai family's new son-in-law came from a cadre family?
These cadres' families aren't short of money, so why are they so unrefined?
They didn't understand at all.
This incredible speed truly astonished Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng, especially since they both vaguely knew something fishy was going on.
This made it even stranger.
Yu Junsheng snorted, "I guess the Bai family mother and daughter thought they had met a 'golden bachelor' and wanted to settle down quickly. The man saw that he had finally met a sucker, so of course he had to seize the opportunity. The two sides hit it off immediately, and it was quick."
Cheng Jiajia's lips twitched.
She glanced at Bai Xiaohui, who was proudly clinging to Qi Baifan's arm, strutting around like a peacock showing off her partner. Clearly, she thought Qi Baifan was making her look good and was showing him off to everyone.
Well, she felt that Yu Junsheng probably knew the truth.
"Tsk tsk, these two are equally cunning, each with their own agenda. I wonder how things will turn out for them in the future."
"I don't know what it will be like, but our compound will definitely be more exciting every day from now on."
Cheng Jiajia: "..."
The reputation of the compound is in grave danger!
And poor Grandpa Zou!
Let me light a candle for you!
...
In fact, the Bai family mother and daughter also wanted to hold a grand banquet to show off their new son-in-law, but Qi Baifan said that holding a banquet was a feudal custom and that it was time to break with feudal superstitions. As a government official, he naturally had to take the lead and set an example.
The Bai family mother and daughter were blinded by the words "government cadre," and even though they wanted to show off in the courtyard, they had to suppress their feelings.
The two exchanged a simple vow, and the ceremony was considered complete.
As dusk fell, the newlyweds gradually became more intimate. Qi Baifan, in particular, had already tasted the sweetness of intimacy before, and couldn't resist any longer. He grabbed Bai Xiaohui and started to touch her inappropriately.
Bai Xiaohui half-heartedly agreed, and just as the two were getting into the swing of things...
Suddenly, a man's muffled shout came from outside: "Xiaohui, Xiaohui, come out quickly!"
Zheng Haicheng was completely drunk, reeking of alcohol, and shouted Bai Xiaohui's name while banging on the Bai family's door.
Everyone in the courtyard came to see what was going on.
"Oh dear, what's wrong with Haicheng?"
"It's obvious he's heartbroken because Xiaohui got married."
"Looks like the two of them really do have a history!"
Bai Xiaohui's face turned bright red with anger.
Damn it, on her special day, while she was getting intimate with Bai Fan, this scoundrel has to show up again.
Qi Baifan's face was ashen, a mixture of displeasure at having his good deed interrupted and shame at Bai Xiaohui cheating on him.
He shoved Bai Xiaohui aside, strode to the door, and slammed it open.
Qi Baifan and Zheng Haicheng locked eyes, sparks flying between them.
The two were on the verge of exchanging blows.
The onlookers, however, were very excited.
Let's fight! Let's fight now!
Two men vying for one woman—that's their favorite kind of drama!
Zheng Haicheng raised his fist, and Qi Baifan also stretched out his hands.
Everyone's eyes gradually lit up.
Attack! Attack now!
The two grown men quickly got into a fight, one pulling the other's hair and the other pinching his cheek.
Everyone: "..."
Damn it, isn't this just like an old lady tearing her hair out?
Cheng Jiajia also: "..."
Oh, she thought she was going to see a showdown between two men, but this is it?
No, I already took my pants off, and this is what you give me?
Jiang Qiubai was also very disappointed. She had thought that the guy surnamed Qi would give Zheng Haicheng a good beating. Zheng Haicheng had been acting crazy at home these past few days because of his breakup and his anger towards his family. Yesterday, he even slapped himself, which made Jiang Qiubai grit her teeth in hatred.
Suddenly, my foot bumped into something.
Jiang Qiubai took a look and saw that the half-piece of wood was round and smooth, obviously something that some child had taken out firewood from home to play with and forgotten to put it back.
Her eyes flashed, and taking advantage of the darkness, she kicked the half-piece of wood at her feet.
Zheng Haicheng was still engrossed in pulling hair, pinching cheeks, and squeezing Qi Baifan, completely unaware of the multiple objects at his feet.
He stepped on it, slipped, and yelled, "Holy shit!"
Then, with a "crack," he landed on the back of his head.
"Oh my god, Haicheng, how did you fall down?"
Someone screamed, "Ah, blood! Blood! Someone's dead!"
