Chapter 74 Chapter 74
It was late, and only Jia Youkai came back from Dongjia Village.
"Where's your father?"
"Dad was worried, and said he wanted to sleep with Jia Guoye for one night."
Jia Youkai said disdainfully: "Where can a thief hide in such a shabby little house? We searched inside and outside, and it didn't take much time."
Lin Fei didn't respond to him, and turned to Jia Yourui and said: "That's perfect, Xiaorui, sleep with mother tonight."
Jia Youkai also moved a chair and sat next to Jia Yourui, listening to his mother and sister talking, he didn't interrupt much, but he was willing to sit next to his sister.
...
At night, Lin Fei lay on the bed, and Jia Yourui, whose hair was not dry yet, sat next to her.
Jia Yourui had a head of thick and luxuriant long hair, which made her face look even smaller. The dark hair set off her fair skin, creating a sharp contrast.
"Xiaorui."
"Hmm?"
Lin Fei smiled, "How about leaving Guoye?"
Jia Yourui was dazed, and didn't seem to understand what her mother meant...
She shook her head hesitantly, indicating that she was unwilling.
"Why?" Lin Fei asked softly: "When your father asked you to get married, didn't you cry?"
Jia Yourui's face flushed a little, she dodged her eyes and whispered: "Now you just don't want to."
Lin Fei became interested, she sat up from the bed with her hands on her hands, looking at her daughter like this, why does she look a little bit like she is shy, she asked: "See that I treat you well, do you like me?"
Jia Yourui lowered her head and nodded slightly, but Lin Fei still found it.
... This is really...
Lin Fei felt mixed emotions. The memories of Xiao Rui when she was little and all the interesting things happened flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but sigh at how time flies. Lin Fei thought that it seemed that she had just taken Xiao Rui out to visit friends. Her youngest daughter has now reached the age of falling in love.
As for Jia Guoye, it is a bit difficult to evaluate.
To say he is good, he has little money and he is ugly. It's okay if he has no money, and I can help him more in the future, but there is nothing I can do about his face.
Lin Fei was not worried that his ugly appearance would affect her impression, but Xiao Rui was so eye-catching that she was a little worried that Jia Guoye would be psychologically unbalanced in the future. He had a beautiful wife, and he would definitely be talked about when he went out. What if he couldn't stand the cold eyes and ridicule of others and took out his anger on Xiao Rui at home? Xiao Rui was delicate and weak, and I'm afraid she couldn't resist his hand...
But it was not good to say that Jia Guoye was not ordinary, he was really good to Xiao Rui, otherwise Xiao Rui's delicate personality would not be moved by him.
Lin Fei didn't know what to do. She couldn't tell whether to support her daughter or break up the two... or wait until the old man came back.
"Don't other people consider it?" Lin Fei asked Xiao Rui: "Dad and Mom will pay for it, and we will continue to bribe you, okay?"
Jia Yourui shook her hands hurriedly: "No, no."
Lin Fei leaned over and hugged her daughter. She felt tenderness in her heart when she hugged her soft body. She said with emotion: "Mother doesn't know what to do. Mother just wants you to be happy in the future."
Jia Yourui hugged her mother's back and comforted her considerately: "Don't worry, mother, I am very happy now."
...
The next day, Jia Kaiqian and Jia Guoye returned to Xijia Village together.
Walking on the road.
Jia Kaiqian said: "I was almost mad to death two days ago. Someone asked the matchmaker to ask me the day before yesterday. He was willing to pay 3,888 yuan as a betrothal gift and asked me if I was willing to marry Xiaorui to him. He said he could add more if it was not enough."
"Isn't this a slap in my face?"
"It's a pity that the matchmaker is tight-lipped and refuses to tell me which bastard is so wicked that he thinks I, Jia Kaiqian, am so poor that I have to sell my daughter."
Jia Kaiqian was really angry and helpless. Since Xiaorui was very young, many people have been talking about her behind her back:
"Jia Kaiqian will be blessed in the future. The couple looks the same, but they gave birth to a fairy-like daughter. I wonder how much the bride price will be in the future."
That would have been fine. Some people also said that he was good to Xiaorui and spoiled her for the rich rewards she could bring in the future. It really made him angry. It would be fine if he heard it. What if Xiaorui really thought that her father spoiled her because he wanted her to find a promising and wealthy husband in the future and rely on her for support in her old age, and a rift between father and daughter arose?
Even though he later told people that he would bribe Xiaorui, he could not stop such remarks.
... It was not until Xiaorui married Guoye that the voices disappeared.
I don't know which lustful young man has made such unreasonable demands recently. I thought Jia Kaiqian was the heartless father who sold his daughter
. If he finds out who this idiot is, he will definitely go to his house with Youkai to "greet" him.
Jia Guoye said, "Calm down."
"Everyone in the village can see how good you are to Xiaorui."
Jia Kaiqian said proudly, "Look, my daughter is rich and noble, you have to be nice to her."
He threatened in a frivolous way, "If you dare to bully Xiaorui in the future, even if I am old and lying in bed unable to move, I will ask Xiaorui's brother to lift me up from the bed and come to your house to make trouble."
Jia Guoye smiled and said, "How could I not be nice to her?"
Jia Kaiqian looked at Jia Guoye, and the smile on his face gradually froze and became a little heavy.
"You know Xiaorui's brother doesn't like you, right?"
Jia Guoye nodded, his eyes calm: "Yeah, I know."
Jia Kaiqian said: "To be honest, Youkai reminded me last night and asked me to tell you to take Xiaorui back to live, what do you think?"
Jia Guoye's expression changed slightly, he did not answer immediately, but thought for a while, and said: "Dad, it may not be possible now, Xiaorui needs me now."
Because he wanted to send Xiaorui to school, Jia Guoye could confidently say that he was needed by Xiaorui.
Regarding repeating, Jia Guoye has not told Xiaorui's family about this, and also told Xiaorui not to tell anyone yet.
Because there may be variables in the matter of repeating the school, whether she can get in is still unknown, it would be bad to let people be happy for nothing.
But he didn't tell Xiao Rui this, for fear that she would worry. He just said that it would be better to tell others after the school is decided.
...
If it really doesn't work, Jia Guoye thought that letting Xiao Rui repeat the first grade is also a good choice, but he is afraid that Xiao Rui will not agree.
If Xiao Rui doesn't want to go, he will respect it.
After hearing his answer, Jia Kaiqian looked at him with a new perspective. In the past, when talking about Xiao Rui, Guoye always felt a little inferior, but today he was quite confident. Jia Kaiqian thought, it's good.
To be fair, Jia Kaiqian was able to hand over the emotionally unstable Xiao Rui to Jia Guoye, which naturally showed his extraordinary trust in him and he admired him very much.
Although Jia Kaiqian inevitably felt that Jia Guoye was not worthy of Xiaorui, he was already a very good choice.
He hesitated whether to take Xiaorui home, not because he was afraid of the bad reputation of Xiaorui's second marriage, but because Jia Kaiqian could pat his chest and guarantee that as long as he said he wanted to let Xiaorui see someone, his door would be trampled down.
Jia Kaiqian not only thought about whether to take Xiaorui back when he went to bed at night, but also when he was resting during work during the day. But after thinking about it, he tended not to take her back.
Although marrying Xiaorui to Jia Guoye was an unusual choice, it was Guoye who helped Xiaorui get out of her negative mood. His meticulous care for Xiaorui made him feel that it would be good for Xiaorui to live with him for the rest of her life.
Jia Kaiqian asked, "Can you make my daughter reliable?"
"Of course." Jia Guoye said, "Don't worry."
Jia Kaiqian said, "Then I will trust you for the time being."
...
When they arrived at Xijia Village, because Jia Kaiqian said he wanted to try Jia Guoye's cooking skills, the father-in-law and son-in-law went out after breakfast. Along the way, they met many villagers carrying farm tools to the fields.
Some people secretly murmured, wondering why Jia Kaiqian was so attracted to this son-in-law. He didn't know how to judge his appearance, as his eldest son-in-law was obviously
a handsome man. It must be fate that the most beautiful youngest daughter married an ugly guy.
...
Jia Kaiqian entered the yard. There was only Chen Bingwen feeding chickens with a food bowl. The bowl was filled with old vegetable leaves, vegetable stems and rotten leaves.
"You are a guest, why are you feeding chickens in my house?" Jia Kaiqian said, trying to take the chicken feeding bowl.
Chen Bingwen said, "Uncle, I wanted to try it myself. I have never fed chickens before and I think it's fun." "
Fun?"
Jia Kaiqian couldn't understand. What's fun about feeding chickens?
Stop it, stop it. Jia Kaiqian put down his hands and said, "If you think it's fun, then play."
Chen Bingwen greeted Jia Guoye who was standing behind Jia Kaiqian, smiled, waved and said, "Hello."
Jia Guoye also said, "Hello."
"Why are you alone?" Jia Kaiqian looked around the yard and said, "Where are the others?"
Chen Bingwen replied, "Brother Youkai went to work in the fields, Sister Xiuli took Mingyu to the pond to wash clothes, and my aunt and sister Xiaorui are in the room."
"Xiaorui!" Jia Kaiqian shouted at the top of his voice, "Guoye is here to take you home."
...
Jia Yourui seemed to be deliberately avoiding Chen Bingwen's thoughts. She went into the room after breakfast, and her mother came in later to accompany her.
She heard her father's voice and replied, "I know." Then she took her mother's hand and walked out of the house.
Jia Kaiqian looked at his wife holding his daughter's hand and blurted out without thinking: "You two really don't look like mother and daughter."
Then he concluded, "My daughter is really pretty, she looks like me."
Lin Fei was so angry that she rushed over to him and said he was shameless.
Not only does she not look like Lin Fei, Jia Yourui doesn't look like anyone in the whole family. She looks exactly like herself, breaking away from the constraints of her parents' appearance and looking as pretty as she can.
Xiaorui laughed.
Jia Guoye came to her side, with tenderness in his eyes: "I sealed the window behind you last night."
He said: "We checked, the thief only searched your room, and did not enter other rooms. There are footprints on the ground outside the back window of your room. The thief climbed in through the window."
Jia Yourui said: "Are you sure the money in the drawer is still there?"
Jia Guoye said: "It's all there. For safety reasons, I moved it to another place. I'll show it to you when
we get home." "Okay." Jia Yourui said: "Let's go home."
She held Jia Guoye's hand, smiled and waved to her parents, and ignored Chen Bingwen who was standing beside her.
"Dad, Mom, Guoye and I are going home."
