Chapter 5 5
Qian Fang, fearing her son would become confused, pinched his arm fiercely, attempting to force the pain back into his sanity. Then, with a stiff smile, she dragged him to the bridal chamber, politely inviting them to snacks and tea. Xu Shanshan didn't care, but sat on a chair in the living room, nibbling on her pastries.
The sweet taste of the pastry filled her mouth, but she was thinking about how to get married in the neighboring city.
As for Zhou Kai, well, it’s a thing of the past, there’s nothing much to talk about.
The person who abandoned her was not worth a single tear from her.
But things went unexpectedly smoothly, all thanks to that chatterbox. Thinking of this, Xu Shanshan couldn't help but cast a grateful look towards Fang Zhiwen.
Among the people in the room, Fang Zhiwen was indeed the most handsome one, and with his family background, Xu Shanshan couldn't take her eyes off him.
She had a thought and couldn't help but smile at Fang Zhiwen. Xu Shanshan was very good at smiling. When she smiled, her eyes were pure, but the tail of her eyebrows was full of all kinds of charm. The two opposite temperaments of purity and seduction were combined in one person, giving people a fatal attraction.
Fang Zhiwen couldn't contain his excitement when he saw Xu Shanshan's smile. He immediately forgot all the bold words he had said when he was reborn. He wanted to get married.
I miss you so much, more than in my previous life.
He just didn't believe it. Couldn't he warm a heart in two lifetimes?
Fang Zhiwen approached Xu Shanshan and was about to sit down when someone snatched the seat he'd chosen. Zhou Kai's cousin, Qian Bing, introduced himself in a disgusting manner. Fang Zhiwen said unhappily, "Stay away from me. You stink of garlic."
It has been like this in both of her lives. There are always flies around Shanshan that she can never get rid of.
"Who eats garlic in the morning? Don't accuse me."
"That's your bad breath. It smells bad anyway."
Xu Shanshan lowered her head and quietly brushed her teeth with her tongue, thinking her words must be bland. Life in the countryside was hard and conditions were poor. There was no money or tickets to buy toothpaste or toothbrushes, so she just bit a willow branch and did it casually.
She learned many of her hygiene habits from the female educated youth.
Her first toothbrush was given to her by her sister, an educated youth, but it was later snatched away by Xu Fei.
Qian Bing glared at Fang Zhiwen and went to find his aunt Qian Fang, thinking of asking the elders to help introduce her. As soon as he left, Fang Zhiwen immediately moved to the stool next to Xu Shanshan. He said to Qian Bing's back: "Qian Bing is too short, he is not worthy of you."
"Well, thank you, you are such a nice person." Xu Shanshan smiled at Fang Zhiwen with gratitude, but secretly wondered what the phrase "not worthy of you" meant.
"I'm an okay person, at least I'm loyal to one person."
"?"
"I take after my dad in that respect."
"?"
Fang Zhiwen wanted to say more, but Zhou Yun came over and interrupted, "Brother Fang, let's start the meal." As she spoke, she looked Xu Shanshan up and down. Brother Fang didn't know that she knew this woman's background.
Humph, the village girl that Second Brother doesn't want wants to hook up with Big Brother Fang.
Bah, dream on!
Zhou Yun has been in love with Fang Zhiwen for many years, but the gap between their families is so huge that she has no courage but to keep it hidden in her heart.
Zhou Yun was afraid that Fang Zhiwen would be deceived by the appearance of the village girl, so she quickly added: "Brother Fang, she is from the countryside and her family is very poor. She came to Lin City just to seduce a man and marry him. I have seen many women like this, and they are the most shameless."
"Xu Shanshan, I'm telling you, forget it. You don't have a household registration..."
Before Zhou Yun could finish her words, Fang Zhiwen angrily interrupted, "Zhou Yun, what's wrong with your education? How can you speak like that? You're so young, but you're acting like a gossip."
Fang Zhiwen was really fed up with these gossipy women. In his previous life, they had also loved to gossip and destroy the relationship between him and Shanshan.
It's funny, free love, marriage, how can the word "seduction" be used? Why is his Shanshan shameless?
It's obviously him who is shameless!
Fang Zhiwen's defense made Xu Shanshan feel as if it was just as she expected. After all, judging from this man's various behaviors, he was more or less interested in her.
Xu Shanshan has seen this kind of "meaning" many times.
Speaking of seducing people, well, Sister Zhou Kai is right, seducing men is indeed what she is good at.
But she did not admit to seducing Fang Zhiwen.
Yes, she had the idea, but she never had the time to implement it.
Zhou Yun covered her face and ran into the bridal chamber, then burst into tears. Liu Xin was feeding her son Wang Hai and was startled by Zhou Yun's sudden action. She asked Zhou Kai beside her, "What's wrong with your sister?"
"Zhou Kai, Zhou Kai! What are you daydreaming about?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Look at your sister, she's crying, crying."
Zhou Kai calmed down and was about to say something when he heard Zhou Yun crying, "Second brother, that, that village girl, she, she seduced Brother Zhiwen."
"Woo woo, Brother Zhiwen scolded me for her."
Zhou Kai's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of weightlessness. His face turned pale, and he said dazedly, "That's impossible. Fang Zhiwen has such high standards."
Shanshan is indeed very beautiful, but she is a country girl after all.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Liu Xin asked curiously, "A village girl? Is she the one wearing the yellow polka-dot Dacron skirt?"
The brother and sister didn't answer, and Liu Xin didn't care. She continued, "If it's her, then it's still possible. That girl is really beautiful. If I were a man, I would marry her home."
"She is a farmer and cannot enjoy the city's policy benefits." Zhou Yun said unconvinced.
"Do you think the factory director's family cares about these trivial matters as much as we do? Fang Zhiwen is an only child. All the good things in the Fang family belong to him." Liu Xin said with a smile.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you. What kind of relative is this girl to your family?"
Zhou Yun remained silent. Zhou Kai said after a while, "He's a friend I met when I was an educated youth in the countryside."
Liu Xin handed Wang Hai the chopsticks, then placed the bowl and chopsticks on a stool nearby. She patted her son's shoulder and indicated that he should squat down to eat. Then she looked at Zhou Kai for a few seconds and asked seriously, "Just friends?"
"Um."
Liu Xin still looked doubtful and asked, "Is there no other relationship?"
"No. If there was, why would I invite her to the wedding?" Zhou Kai said with a forced gentle smile.
Before Liu Xin could dispel her suspicions, the door was suddenly pushed open again, and Zhou Kai's aunt said with a smile: "Hey, don't hide in the house anymore, come out and have some fun."
"What's wrong?" Liu Xin asked curiously.
"The young master of your factory director's family is kneeling in the living room proposing to someone."
Zhou Yun and Zhou Kai hurried out of the room and saw that Zhou Kai was kneeling on one knee on the ground. Who else could the person opposite him be but Xu Shanshan?
The brother and sister both leaned weakly against the wall, unable to understand how the two of them got together.
They even got to the point of discussing marriage.
Xu Shanshan was also confused, she hadn't done anything yet.
Is this guy really the factory director's son? Could it be that Zhou Kai's mother was trying to coax her? Could it be that the Zhou family found a gigolo to appease her and prevent her from causing a scene at the wedding?
Or does Comrade Fang have some disease?
For example, infertility?
He is probably infertile. Otherwise, with his appearance and family background, it is impossible for him not to be married yet.
Xu Shanshan was silent. She still wanted to have her own baby.
Fang Zhiwen, who was kneeling on one knee, could see the dazed look on Xu Shanshan's face when he looked up. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Comrade Xu, if you marry me, from now on you will be the head of my family, you will be in charge of my money, and you will be able to do whatever you want with me."
Xu Shanshan remained silent, weighing whether to take a gamble.
In just this moment, the crowd, having recovered from their shock, immediately tried to pull Fang Zhiwen up. Zhou Kai also ran over and said, "Zhiwen, Shanshan has a rural household registration."
"Zhou Kai, who are you calling Shanshan when you have a family?"
"No, Zhiwen, you two don't even know each other, so it's not appropriate to propose so suddenly."
Xu Shanshan listened to what the people in the room were saying, trying to discern useful information. It seemed Fang Zhiwen did come from a wealthy family, and Zhou Kai's family probably didn't have the financial resources to have a room full of people acting out a lie to her.
From this point of view, there is a possibility that Fang Zhiwen has a serious physical defect.
"I dare to marry, but do you really dare to marry me?" Xu Shanshan made up her mind and decided to take a gamble.
"I dare."
"Shanshan!"
Zhou Kai and Fang Zhiwen's voices rang out together.
Xu Shanshan didn't even look at Zhou Kai, but reached out and pulled Fang Zhiwen up. These city customs are really weird. You have to kneel down to propose? She shouldn't have to respond, right?
"Zhou Kai, Liu Xin, I wish you both a happy and healthy life. We're leaving now." Fang Zhiwen took Xu Shanshan away. Zhou Kai couldn't help but try to stop them, but Qian Fang was quick to push him back and said with a fake smile, "Congratulations on your early marriage, too."
Xu Shanshan and Fang Zhiwen's affairs were like a joke, and many people didn't take them seriously. As soon as they left, everyone gathered around and muttered, "Is this a joke?"
"Probably. One is after the sex, the other is after the money. They're just playing around at best."
"Oh, this poor girl."
Qian Bing witnessed Fang Zhiwen's proposal and secretly regretted being so late. His mother asked curiously, "Zhou Kai, which friend of yours is this? He's so skilled, he seduced Fang Zhiwen right away."
"I met her in the countryside. A local girl."
Liu Xin sneered and slapped him, saying, "Zhou Kai, it's not too late if you want a divorce. Don't look so dead in front of me." Yes, after Xu Shanshan and Fang Zhiwen left, Zhou Kai felt that his heart had left with them. This distraught look on Liu Xin's face was really eye-catching.
Damn ordinary friend, do you think she is blind?
Well, a good wedding has been turned into a mess, with people trying to reconcile, watching the show, mocking, and getting excited, all gathered together.
Xu Shanshan didn't make a scene at the wedding, but she didn't expect the bride to make a scene.
However, Liu Xin, having married a second time with her son, naturally didn't want a third marriage. She'd figured Zhou Kai was a worthless wimp, so she decided to make a scene today to get some benefits. For example, her and her son's rooms couldn't be in the kitchen.
She also has to save the gift money for today's wedding banquet.
Qian Fang had no choice but to compromise. Zhou Yun's single room was gone, given to Liu Xin and Wang Hai. Zhou Kai, the groom-to-be, slept on the bathroom floor, while Zhou Yun slept on the kitchen floor.
Qian Fang really didn't expect that Xu Shanshan was inexplicably sent away, but her dear daughter-in-law was waiting here, and was very difficult to deal with.
Why don’t these two people care about the well-being of her son Zhou Kai?
Too selfish, only thinking about themselves.
However, what Qian Fang didn't expect was that before Liu Xin had finished her quarrel, Wei Le and Lin Xiaoyu also started to quarrel. They were not vague and started to split up the family.
Not only do we have to divide the family business, we also have to divide the accounts, and every single one of them has to be calculated clearly.
The turmoil in the Zhou family naturally did not affect Xu Shanshan. She was standing at the door of the Fang family in a daze.
Seriously, what is Fang Zhiwen's big flaw?
Are you so eager to find a wife?
"What are we going to do next?"
"Meeting the in-laws?"
"ah?"
"Oh, what? My parents are off today, so you two can meet. Tomorrow I'll take you home to meet your parents and then go to the brigade to get the certificate and household registration information. Oh, and the food connection and so on. Once everything is ready, we can go get the marriage certificate."
"Food matters too?"
"Well, I'm going to transfer the work to you."
"ah?"
Why is she getting more and more scared?
