Chapter 9 Suffering
Several pieces of clothing were patched upon patched.
She was planning to tidy it up a bit and then take it to her sister-in-law.
Just then, the third sister-in-law's slightly curious voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Jianshe, what's up with you so late?"
Chen Jianshe lowered his head, his face flushed red.
"Sister-in-law Xuegang, is Wanyin home? I need to talk to her about something!"
Qiao Wanyin had a bad feeling.
This man is Aunt Chen's son, Chen Jianshe!
His figure was exceptionally clear under the light.
That familiar face made her heart skip a beat.
The person who was previously cheated on by this disabled man quite a bit in order to get that 500 yuan dowry.
At that time, she felt that as long as she could get the money, nothing else mattered.
Now that he has suddenly appeared, could it be that he's here to cause trouble?
Was he here to demand an explanation?
Qiao Wanyin thought nervously, feeling somewhat at a loss.
“Jianshe, did your mother mention that five hundred yuan to you?”
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiaoping immediately asked.
"Sister-in-law Xuegang, I really didn't come here for the money."
Chen Jianshe's face flushed slightly.
He took a deep breath and continued, "I'm looking for Wanyin because of...some other things."
Chen Jianshe's face turned even redder than before.
The three sisters-in-law of the Qiao family were experienced in this matter.
Seeing this, I immediately understood what the young man was thinking.
They exchanged a glance, and both understood what was going on.
Liu Suqin winked at her two sisters-in-law, signaling them to lend Chen Jianshe a hand.
If this matter is resolved, then the five hundred yuan will not need to be returned, and it will save a lot of trouble.
Today, my sister-in-law talked about Fu Zhiqing proposing marriage.
Actually, all three of them thought it was unlikely.
Fu, the educated youth, is a well-known handsome young man in the town. What could he possibly want from her?
Qiao Wanyin has a bad reputation, and she's not a very kind person either.
How could anyone want to marry someone like that?
Zhou Chun Chun was straightforward and didn't say much, just silently watching everyone.
Chen Xiaoping thought to herself, although Chen Jianshe, who had difficulty walking, was not a good match for her sister-in-law in appearance, he was a kind person!
Moreover, the family owns a blacksmith shop, so if she really marries into that family, she won't have a bad life.
Maybe she'll settle down after having a few more children.
The people in question had different thoughts, but they surprisingly reached a consensus at this moment.
"Wanyin, someone is looking for you!"
Qiao Wanyin had actually heard Chen Jianshe's voice quite some time ago.
But now he hears his three sisters-in-law calling his name loudly at the same time.
She had to put down what she was doing and get up to walk into the yard.
"Comrade Chen Jianshe, is there anything I can help you with?"
When Chen Jianshe finally saw Qiao Wanyin standing in front of him.
His face instantly became even rosier.
"I...I want to tell you something important."
However, her address of "Comrade Chen Jianshe" made him feel a pang of sadness.
In the past, whenever she addressed him, she would affectionately call him "Brother Jianshe".
But that's okay. Once they get married, I believe she will call me that again.
"Wanyin, I hope you can consider becoming my wife. I don't care what happened in the past, and I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Chen Jianshe mustered all his courage to say these words.
Do you really not care about the past?
That sounds like he cares a lot.
Second sister-in-law Liu Suqin immediately stepped in to smooth things over.
"Wanyin, have a good talk with Jianshe. He's a very honest and kind person."
Third sister-in-law Chen Xiaoping also quickly joined the persuasion team.
"That's right, Wanyin. How about we go for a walk?"
Zhou Chun Chun said with a serious expression, "If you want to chat, go outside. Don't disturb the children's rest here."
Faced with the attempts of several sisters-in-law to matchmake him.
Qiao Wanyin blinked her clear, bright eyes, a hint of irony rising in her heart.
They were so eager to push her towards Chen Jianshe.
It's truly both laughable and frustrating.
The original owner was indeed ruthless, but that didn't stop her from being very beautiful.
That kind of beauty is not gentle and graceful.
Instead, it possesses a dignified and unapproachable beauty.
Then there's Chen Jianshe, who is lame and short, and always walks with a swaying gait.
He also had a hairy black mole near his mouth.
A tiny hair would occasionally cling to that mole.
Although this person is not inherently bad, he just doesn't seem to fit in with the original owner of this body.
Forget about getting married, I can't even eat. Just looking at him makes me feel uncomfortable.
I recall Fu Lian'an's face with its thick eyebrows and bright eyes.
Qiao Wanyin couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
"Comrade Chen Jianshe, I already have a boyfriend. He will come tomorrow to deliver the betrothal gifts and we are getting engaged."
"Don't worry, I will pay back the dowry money I owe your family within three days."
Chen Jianshe suddenly raised his head, his face filled with disbelief.
"What did you say? Don't joke around, okay? Who would want you?"
How could Qiao Wanyin possibly have a boyfriend?
Nowadays, besides him who doesn't care about such things, who else would be interested in her?
Everyone knows that she once eloped to Hong Kong with a man!
The villagers all called her a whore and said she behaved improperly!
Fearing the marriage would fall through, Liu Suqin quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Jianshe, don’t listen to her nonsense. There’s no such thing. You two should have a good talk, a good talk.”
She was terrified that the marriage she had finally managed to arrange would fall through.
Her sister-in-law must be out of her mind to think that Fu Zhiqing would want her.
You're not even going to seize this opportunity that's being presented to you right now?
If the Qiao family doesn't have the money to repay Aunt Chen in three days, they'll be in a difficult position!
"Second sister-in-law."
"I understand that you are doing this for the good of our family."
"But don't worry, my boyfriend will come tomorrow, and I will pay back the five hundred yuan I owe the Chen family."
Qiao Wanyin said firmly.
After she finished speaking, she turned around, her back to everyone present.
Her gaze met Chen Jianshe's angry eyes coldly.
"Comrade Chen Jianshe, I was wrong before. Please don't take my words and actions to heart. From now on, I hope we can get along peacefully and no longer be troubled by past grievances."
"I will pay back the five hundred yuan I owe your family. It's getting late, you should go home now!"
Seeing that she was so calm and composed, and even urged him to leave, Chen Jianshe became furious.
"Qiao Wanyin, what are you so smug about? You're a worthless slut that nobody wants now, and you still dare to look down on me and refuse to marry me?"
Qiao Wanyin merely glanced at him indifferently and did not respond immediately.
After a moment, she finally spoke: "Ha! Is this the honest person everyone thinks he is? He gets angry at the slightest dissatisfaction."
The Qiao family's wives, who witnessed this scene, were all deeply moved.
No one expected that Chen Jianshe, who had always been seen as simple and honest, would say such hurtful things.
Realizing something was wrong, Qiao Wanyin raised her voice and said sternly, "Chen Jianshe, I'm only letting this small matter go today because of the five hundred yuan. If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now!"
If it weren't for the original owner having fooled this cripple before...
This led her to mistakenly believe that she had a chance to win his favor.
So why should I have to put up with this kind of treatment?
Thinking about all this, she felt a mix of emotions.
