Hua Xiangyun had long guessed that Zhou Xiaoran would definitely be holding back a big move, but she didn't expect that her carefully planned scheme would be foiled by Xun Liangfen.
On a rainy day like this, with a man and a woman alone together and a beautiful woman in his arms, even if Hua Zhian had taken precautions beforehand, he would probably have to admit defeat.
Besides, they were already hugging and cuddling. If the marriage wasn't settled, Zhou Xiaolan could sue them for indecent assault, and the Hua family would have no choice but to accept it.
When such a troublemaker enters the house, one can imagine that there will be no peace in the family.
Tian Guihua patted her chest, feeling extremely fortunate that her unreliable daughter-in-law had finally done something reliable.
No, she has to give her daughter-in-law an extra big chicken leg. (Reading Dirty)
Thinking of this, Tian Guihua went to the kitchen, took the only cured chicken, quickly cut it in half, chopped the rest into small pieces, leaving only one large chicken leg, and steamed it directly in the pot.
The men of the Hua family grabbed Hua Zhian and gave him a thorough lesson, telling him that if he encountered a similar situation again, he should run away as soon as possible, as losing face was better than losing his chastity.
Hua Xiangyun, "..."
Li Lijuan, "..."
As soon as Xun Liangfen entered the house, she sensed that something was wrong and knew that the brat must have told her what had happened.
Even if he hadn't said anything, she had no intention of helping him keep it a secret.
Tian Guihua looked at her with a loving expression, "Liangfen, are you wet? If you are, hurry up and go into your room to change your clothes."
Xun Liangfen, “…” Mother-in-law, don’t talk to me like that, it makes me feel uneasy.
"No...no, it's not wet. What else do you want to cook? I'll take care of it..."
"No need, you've worked hard. Sit down and rest for a bit." Hua Baoguo brought her a stool. "That brat said that if you hadn't happened to be here today, our family would have been in big trouble."
Xun Liangfen finally understood the reason: "He is my son, how could I not want what's best for him?"
However, I really need to keep a closer eye on him from now on, in case he doesn't give up. If all else fails, I'll arrange a marriage for him.
Xun Liangfen really disliked Zhou Xiaolan. In the end, she still had to get along with her daughter-in-law, so why not choose someone she was happy with?
Hua Zhian huddled in the corner, not daring to make a sound. He was truly wronged. It had nothing to do with him. He had just received a profound lesson and didn't want to go through that again.
"They're already looking at potential partners, but this guy has such high standards, I don't know why." Tian Guihua's words were full of disdain. "He doesn't even look at himself. It's good enough that others don't mind him."
"..." Hua Zhian dared not speak out in anger. He didn't seem that bad, did he?
As soon as they sat down at the dinner table, Tian Guihua picked up a big chicken leg for Xun Liangfen, saying, "You've worked hard today, eat more to nourish yourself."
Xun Liangfen seemed a little lost, and picked up a chicken leg to put it in Hua Xiangyun's bowl, remembering that this was the treatment Hua Xiangyun used to receive.
Hua Xiangyun quickly took the bowl and moved it aside, as this was a gift from her grandmother to praise a meritorious person.
Seeing that he refused, Xun Liangfen directly handed the chicken leg to Li Lijuan, saying, "You've had a hard time during your pregnancy, eat more."
Li Lijuan was somewhat flattered, as this was the first time her mother-in-law had served her food. She was a little nervous but dared not refuse, so she could only look to Hua Zhiping for help.
"Mom still loves her unborn granddaughter the most," Hua Zhiping said with a sly smile to Li Lijuan. "Aren't you going to thank Mom?"
Li Lijuan was completely confused, but she still obediently did as she was told.
Tian Guihua didn't care; she had already shown her goodwill.
“Baoguo, why don’t you see if there are any suitable young ladies in your workplace? If they are of good character, we can give it a try.”
Hua Baoguo was in a bit of a dilemma, as he really didn't know much about these mundane matters. "Maybe I should ask around more when I get back."
Tian Guihua regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Her son and daughter-in-law were really unreliable. Why did she bring this up?
Seeing Xun Liangfen's eager expression, Tian Guihua sighed and said, "That's true. People usually marry into better places. Who would want to marry into our small county town?"
Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Just find your way around here on your own.
When the time is right, it will happen.
This bucket of cold water woke Xun Liangfen up; who can argue with that?
Zhi'an works in the county town and will definitely continue to work there in the future. As for the young women with permanent jobs, they are too picky and arrogant. If she tries to find a husband for them, she will only be humiliating herself.
I'm torn. If my son could marry someone from the city, he could settle down there in the future. But that would mean losing his job, which is just too difficult...
Tian Guihua ignored her, picked up a few pieces of meat for Hua Xiangyun and Li Lijuan, and sat there eating quietly, but her mind was always on which other family's child would be suitable.
Only Hua Xiangyun noticed that Hua Zhian hesitated several times before finally giving up and simply buried his head in his rice, not even picking up any vegetables.
Zhou Xiaolan finally managed to get the pain subsided before struggling back to the compound.
As soon as I entered, I noticed many people looking at me with curiosity.
Looking down at himself, he was soaking wet and covered in mud. He could only smile wryly and walk home with his head down.
"Xiao Lan, what happened? Did you fall again?" Bai Zhaodi stood in the aisle with a bowl of rice in her hand, looking on with amusement.
“Hmm,” Zhou Xiaolan knew that saying more now would only lead to more trouble, but Bai Zhaodi was her elder, and if she didn’t answer, who knew how much gossip would arise.
Bai Zhaodi didn't care about his perfunctory answer and said with a smile, "It seems that the roads in our county are not that difficult to walk on, so why have you fallen down one after another these past two days?"
The girl is growing up; she's become more thoughtful, but she's not so bad at walking that she can't even walk properly.
The implication of her words left the onlookers speechless. This was supposed to be an aunt, yet she was throwing mud at a young girl. How could she do such a thing?
Zhou Xiaolan raised her head, making her miserable state even clearer to everyone. "Auntie," she said, "I've suffered enough these past two days. I've been feeling unwell, and I don't know what's wrong. You're my elder, please have mercy on me. Why don't you take me to the hospital for a more thorough examination?"
It's common knowledge that she's been falling repeatedly in wrestling matches. Instead of smearing her reputation, Bai Zhaodi should just attribute it all to physical discomfort.
Bai Zhaodi wanted to see a joke, but didn't want to lose money. "What are you saying, child? Although I am your great-aunt, your own parents still live in this backyard."
Your parents both have jobs and salaries, so why should an old woman like me take the lead?
If you're really feeling unwell, go back and tell your parents. Don't look so disheveled all the time; if people find out, they'll think something's wrong here.
An old woman standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore. She'd never seen relatives act like this before. "Alright, you old hag, if you can't help, don't make things worse. Can't you see that Xiao Lan is soaked to the bone and almost frozen? Go back and change your clothes. Poor thing."
