Chapter 301: Unfortunately, there is no if
Wang Yueju hesitated for a moment, but still took the passbook and carefully put it into her pocket.
Li Xu wanted to keep the three of them at home for lunch, but Zhang Yao was worried about the children at home and was afraid that Wenwen would have no food to eat when she got home from school at noon, so she didn't dare to stay any longer.
In the evening, Li Xu and Zhang Kun talked about this matter.
Although she promised Zhang Jun that she would not tell anyone else about this.
But Zhang Kun is Zhang Yao’s biological brother. Even if she doesn’t say it, Zhang Kun will know it sooner or later.
What's more, Zhang Kun is on Zhang Yao's side, so it is naturally impossible for him to tell Wei Zhenghao about this matter.
After Zhang Kun learned about this, he didn't speak for a long time.
After a long silence, Zhang Kun sighed and whispered, "Yaoyao is scared too!"
He whispered to Li Xu about the past.
"Yaoyao is the only girl in the family, so whether it's me, my parents, or even the young Xiaojun, we all subconsciously protect her. So she has been soft-tempered since she was a child. Our whole family is afraid that she will marry far away and be bullied in the future. So my parents found a partner for her in the surrounding villages."
"Wei Zhenghao? Then your family's taste is really not very good." Li Xu said in a low voice.
Zhang Kun heard this and gave a bitter smile: "It's not him!"
Li Xu asked curiously, "Then why did you marry him in the end?"
Zhang Kun sighed, "The one I originally liked was a young man from another village. His parents are both young, and although there are seven brothers and sisters in the family, his parents run a small business outside, so the family has some assets. And with so many brothers and sisters, they can help each other. What's more, the guy himself is quite capable and has a good temper. His appearance and height are a perfect match for Zhang Yao. My family went to the village to inquire several times, and everyone in the village praised his family."
Thinking of this, Zhang Kun sighed again.
How great it would have been if Yaoyao had married him.
I wouldn't have suffered for so many years, but unfortunately there are no ifs in this world.
"Yaoyao doesn't have a temper, and she doesn't have her own opinions. Although she doesn't have any feelings for that man, she is willing to marry him. Our two families were about to get engaged at that time, but something happened, so Yaoyao had to marry Wei Zhenghao."
Li Xu was a little surprised. What happened that forced Zhang Yao to marry Wei Zhenghao?
"There is a small river to the west of our village, do you know?" Zhang Kun asked.
Li Xu nodded: "I know, we saw it when we went out for a walk during the New Year."
"Don't think that there is no water in it during the winter. During the rainy season in summer, the water inside is very deep." Zhang Kun's voice was very low.
"That summer, when Yaoyao was passing by, she slipped and accidentally fell in. She couldn't swim and struggled for a long time. Fortunately, Wei Zhenghao passed by and rescued her."
Li Xu was surprised. Did Wei Zhenghao do such a good thing back then?
"However, it was summer at that time, and the clothes were thin. When Yaoyao was struggling in the water, her clothes were torn by branches. After she got ashore, she fainted out of fright. Wei Zhenghao held her and asked around to find out who she was from so that he could send her back."
Li Xu could imagine that scene.
On a rainy day, Zhang Yao was in tattered clothes and was held by a man.
Those gossipy women in the village must be thinking: Who knows if she really fell into the river or did something shameful.
Even if she didn't do it voluntarily, she fainted. Who knows if the man took advantage of her?
"Later, someone from the man's family came and politely called off the marriage. They felt that Yaoyao was not clean. Since then, the men the matchmaker introduced to Yaoyao were either second marriages or old bachelors. There was really no other way, and at this time, Wei Zhenghao asked someone to come to the door."
Li Xu reached out and gently patted Zhang Kun's back, comforting him silently.
"Although Wei Zhenghao is a single parent, he has an older brother and his family is a little poor. But he looks good and is of good height. Before getting married, he behaved well in front of outsiders. My parents always thought he had a good temper, and when they asked him in the village, they also said he was good. Later, they got married without thinking, thinking that being poor didn't matter, as long as the two of them were diligent, they could always live a good life."
Zhang Kun smiled bitterly, "Later I came to my senses. A family like Wei Zhenghao's, with two boys, healthy and well, and no need to spend money, is so poor. They must be lazy."
Li Xu agreed with this statement.
"After marriage, Wei Zhenghao's flaws were exposed one by one. He was not only lazy, but also liked to take advantage of others. Most importantly, he was foolishly filial. I remember one year, Yaoyao came home crying. There was only a dozen yuan left at home after the Chinese New Year, which was saved for buying fertilizer. She was reluctant to spend it, but Wei Zhenghao used it to secretly buy meat for his mother."
Zhang Kun shook his head and whispered, "If Zhang Yao keeps this money at home, Wei Zhenghao might steal it and use it to honor his mother."
Li Xu said: "Wei Zhenghao is not being filial, but in his heart, he and his mother are a family."
It is precisely because he grew up in a single-parent family that he is more likely to develop this mentality.
"Anyway, no matter what, it's the best that Zhang Yao is standing up now. Wei Zhenghao saved her in the past, and he saved her life. If Wei Zhenghao could think it through, be of one mind with Zhang Yao, and live a good life, Zhang Yao wouldn't be so defensive against him."
Wei Zhenghao didn't know that Zhang Yao had put the money with Wang Yueju. He thought that Zhang Yao had used the money to pay off the loan, so he didn't make a fuss at home.
In the blink of an eye, the cucumbers in the field have ripened.
In early December, the weather was already very cold and the greenhouses were all covered with film.
After the last incident, Wei Zhenghao became much more diligent and often helped Zhang Yao work in the fields.
This time, Zhang Yao sold the cucumbers for four thousand yuan.
As usual, Zhang Yao and Zhang Jun went to the county to ask Li Xu for the money.
Zhang Yao paid off the remaining loan in one go.
There were more than 2,600 yuan left. Zhang Yao deposited 2,000 yuan into the passbook and only kept more than 600 yuan with her.
When he got home, Wei Zhenghao was waiting anxiously.
The rice is already cooked in the pot, stewed spareribs.
Zhang Yao pulled the corners of her lips, walked into the house, and called him: "Wei Zhenghao, come here, I have something to give you!"
When Wei Zhenghao heard this, he became very excited.
He has always been the one in charge of the money at home. Does Zhang Yao want to give him the money?
By the time he gets the money, he has already thought about what to buy.
After entering the house, Zhang Yao took out three hundred-dollar bills from his pocket and put them in Wei Zhenghao's hand.
Wei Zhenghao quickly took it.
After waiting for a long while, Zhang Yao still didn't take any action.
Wei Zhenghao was a little confused: "What about the rest?"
