Song Shishi locked the translated documents in a drawer and then followed Yang Huifang out.
Seeing them coming out, Xu Li waved and said, "Hurry, hurry, follow me. There will be something exciting to watch in the village again."
"What's the excitement?"
It was rare to see Xu Li so excited about something, and Song Shishi couldn't help but feel curious.
But Xu Li deliberately kept it a secret and raised her eyebrows, saying, "You'll know when you get there."
"Okay, let's go and take a look together."
Anyway, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and it would be nice to watch some fun before the New Year.
With this mindset, Song Shishi decided to go with Xu Li to take a look.
But Yang Huifang did not move. She turned around and hugged the notes and newspapers on the table. "Since you are going out, I will go back to the Youth Hostel."
...
...
"Sister Huifang, there's a good show to watch, don't you want to go?" Xu Li asked curiously.
Yang Huifang shook her head. "No, I don't have enough time to study anyway. I'd better seize the time to learn more. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I watch the excitement or not."
Song Shishi is really happy for Yang Huifang for being so motivated and hardworking.
Seeing that Xu Li still wanted to persuade her, Song Shishi grabbed Xu Li's arm and said with a smile: "Since your sister Huifang wants to study, let her study with peace of mind. We will go and see for ourselves, and then tell her when she is free."
"Oh well."
Several people went out together. Song Shishi locked the door of the main room and closed the gate of the courtyard. Then she followed Xu Li towards the grain field.
On the way, we met many villagers running in one direction, obviously they were all there to watch the fun.
But looking at the direction he was running, it seemed to be Captain Zhou Jianguo's home.
Although she had some guesses in her mind, Song Shishi didn't ask any more questions. She just followed Xu Li quietly.
As soon as Zhou Jianguo entered the yard, a lot of people gathered around him.
But the people watching the fun all kept silent.
The noise coming from the room was deafening.
"You've become more capable now, huh?
We worked so hard to raise you, but you didn’t even tell us about something as important as getting married. What do you want to do?
Rebellion?
A man's voice was heard from the room. He sounded quite old, but it didn't sound like Zhou Jianguo's voice.
Song Shishi and Xu Li had already walked to the gate of the yard.
Song Shishi pulled Xu Li to the side and found a position where they could see the scene in the main room but was not conspicuous.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhou Xingxue rushed out from the corner, pointed at the man and asked loudly: "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about here?"
An Jinsheng stood in the dark with his head hung, saying nothing, so that others could not see his expression.
The woman next to the man saw this, stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped Zhou Xingxue's hand down, then turned to An Jinsheng and said, "Oh, this is the wife you married? She has no manners at all! You married such a woman without telling us?"
After she finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Xingxue was still about to point, the woman suddenly turned her head and stared at her with a warning in her eyes, threatening: "If you dare to point your finger again, I will break your finger."
Zhou Xingxue was still a little scared, and retracted his hand in dismay, but he also felt that his behavior was somewhat shameful, so he stiffened his neck and said, "You think you are worthy of being called my elders? Bah!"
An Jinsheng, who was originally as quiet as an invisible man, couldn't help himself at this moment. He grabbed Zhou Xingxue's arm and pulled her back hard.
Even though Zhou Xingxue almost fell because of his sudden movement, he didn't care.
Instead, he warned in a low voice: "Zhou Xingxue, please say less."
"I……"
Zhou Xingxue wanted to refute, but she reacted immediately and asked An Jinsheng: "Jinsheng, who are they to you? Are you just going to watch them bully me?"
Seeing this, Xu Li couldn't help but lean towards Song Shishi and asked in a low voice: "Sister, who do you think these two people are? It seems that they have a complicated relationship with An Zhiqing."
Song Shishi glanced at Xu Li and said with a smile, "You excitedly dragged me over to watch the fun, but don't you know who these two people are?"
"I don't know." Xu Li shrugged. "I just heard that two strangers came to Captain Zhou's house this morning, and they claimed to be looking for An Zhiqing. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, who would come here at this time? This must be something serious."
"You are so smart." Song Shishi stretched out her index finger and tapped Xu Li's forehead.
"Don't make trouble."
Inside the house, An Jinsheng did not answer Zhou Xingxue's question.
He showed an impatient look, obviously suppressing his emotions.
Zhou Jianguo and Aunt Qian watched from the side without saying anything.
"Why did I make a fuss?" Zhou Xingxue pouted in dissatisfaction, but still obediently did not say anything else.
The man seemed to have noticed something, frowned and asked An Jinsheng: "You and this girl are married now, as parents, we should at least have a drink to celebrate the wedding?"
The way the man looked at An Jinsheng made him feel even more uneasy.
The man became more and more annoyed by his silence and stood up to kick him.
"You went to the countryside and became mute? I'm asking you a question."
Seeing this, the woman hurried forward to block An Jinsheng and said, "What are you doing? There are outsiders here. Why do you want to hit your son right away?"
The couple's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which caused a thousand ripples and made everyone inside and outside the house open their eyes wide in shock.
"What? You just said you are Jinsheng's parents?"
The first person to speak was naturally Zhou Xingxue.
But the one who answered Zhou Xingxue was not the couple, but Old Mrs. Zhou who was walking into the main room with a cane.
"You silly girl, can't you see that? You were deceived by this boy. I told you not to get involved with him, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened..."
When Old Mrs. Zhou came, Aunt Qian immediately stood up and gave her seat to Old Mrs. Zhou.
As Old Mrs. Zhou spoke, she looked very disappointed in her friend and tapped the ground with her cane.
"How is this possible? Jinsheng... Jinsheng is obviously the chief's son. Don't they... everyone say so?" Zhou Xingxue obviously couldn't accept this fact. His eyes went dark and he was a little unsteady.
Aunt Qian stepped forward to support Zhou Xingxue and sighed silently.
"The chief's son? I don't know. When did I, an old factory employee, become the chief?"
Father An stared at An Jinsheng with a gloomy look and gritted teeth. If he hadn't been concerned about the large number of people here, Father An's fist would have landed on An Jinsheng's face.
Mother An turned around and pulled An Jinsheng, whispering, "What's wrong with you, kid? Why don't you say something?"
An Jinsheng pursed his lips tightly and refused to speak stubbornly.
Just when An's father could no longer bear it and stood up suddenly, raising his hand to hit An Jinsheng, Zhou Jianguo finally said, "Okay, if you want to educate your child, go somewhere else, not in my house."
