Chapter 160 There are pearls in the river clams~
"Well, oaths are the last thing you can count on. As long as your heart is sincere, I have no objection."
Mother Zhang glanced at her old man. Even though she had some doubts in her heart, she still said softly, "I will listen to your father."
Zhang Weihong was dumbfounded by her parents' rebellion. "No, I haven't agreed yet."
"Alright," Zhang Chongxin waved his hand. "I raised you. As your father, how can I not know what you are thinking?"
Zhang Weihong rolled her eyes, pouted and said nothing.
"Don't kneel down. Now that we've come to this, stand up and let's talk about what the rules are."
After that, Zhang Chongxin paused and said, "Wen Zhiqing, I'm really sorry for disturbing you today. It's a bit presumptuous of us to disturb you."
Wen Ran was eating melon seeds and enjoying the fun, so how could he feel disturbed? !
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Wei Hong and I are friends. If you don't mind, you can tell me about your plan," Wen Ran said with a serious face, "As the saying goes.
Those three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. There is strength in numbers. Let's get together and discuss it. Maybe we can come up with a solution."
Wen Ran wished they wouldn't leave. It was so uncomfortable to eat only half of the melon.
Everyone, stay and letβs finish talking before we leave.
Bao Wenxuan was also the kind of person who liked to watch the fun and didn't mind any big things, so she hurriedly added stools for the old couple from the Zhang family and Yao Shihua.
It's really pitiful. Since Yao Shihua came to Wen Ran's house, except for the time to change clothes, his buttocks have never touched the stool and his knees have never moved off the ground.
Tsk tsk tsk.
What does this mean?
If you don't seek death, you won't die.
Zhang Weihong also turned serious, "Yao Shihua, think it through. Marrying into a wife's family will also lead to people stabbing you in the back."
"It's okay, I have no spine, you can't poke me."
Wen Ran: β?β
6Ah, brother, you really know how to chat.
Zhang Weihong was choked and suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Zhang Chongxin shook his head and opened his mouth.
After all, he has been to the battlefield and survived many life-threatening situations. This is different because he has broadened his horizons.
Everyone said that the old couple had no son to support the family. Although they didn't say anything openly, they always teased them behind their backs.
In addition, the two of them loved Zhang Weihong very much, which had already caused dissatisfaction among some people. Now that Zhang Weihong was old enough to get married, everyone was watching the fun happily.
When they were halfway through discussing the matter, Hongguo outside screamed.
Wen Ran was startled and immediately ejected, "What's wrong?"
Hong Guo held the clam in her hands, not knowing what to do. "Sister, sister..."
Wen Ran was so scared that he thought that the unlucky kid had his hand pinched by a river clam while cleaning it. But then he thought again, that was not the case. The clams had been boiled open.
How can it still pinch people when it's completely dead?
She ran over and met Hongguo's confused gaze, and then she saw that she was holding a handful of beads in her hand.
It's a pearl.
There are three of them, one is round, and the other two are a bit strange in shape and have a hint of pink.
"Sister, I dug this out from inside," Hong Guo stuffed the pearl into Wen Ran's pocket and reached out to dig at the shell, unsure, "There should be a little more inside."
Everyone rushed over after hearing the news, and watched Hongguo digging for pearls with their eyes wide open.
Finally, twenty-three pearls were taken out of one river clam, four of which were of excellent quality, and the other seven were a bit odd in shape, but could be roughly called round.
As for the rest...
Weird shapes.
"Oh my god," Bao Wenxuan couldn't believe it, "There are pearls."
She carefully pinched a pill and placed it in her palm to examine it carefully.
Wen Ran didn't expect that Hong Guo had already gotten excited. After opening another river clam, he was disappointed to find out...
There is not a single pearl.
"Okay," Wen Ran comforted, "Those who can produce pearls are rare among the rare."
Zhang Chongxin pondered for a moment, "I have only seen pearls being fished out of river clams once in my life. This is the second time."
He looked at the pearls and felt surprised that such an ugly creature as the river clam could produce such a beautiful thing.
"Here!" Wen Ran handed the pearls to Bao Wenxuan, "They are all yours, keep them."
She was not very interested in this thing. Although it was beautiful, she was a vulgar person and preferred gold. On the contrary, Hong Guo hesitated to speak...
She looked at Wen Ran and thought that her sister had fair skin and would look beautiful if she could wear a pearl.
But this thing was not hers. She looked at the pearl carefully and decided to save money to buy one from sister Xiaobao and make it into a necklace for her sister.
Bao Wenxuan didn't notice Hong Guo's look. She pinched the pearls and gave the best one to Wen Ran. "Here, this is for you."
Then, he pinched another pill for Yao Shihua.
"What is this for?"
Everyone was puzzled. After Bao Wenxuan sneezed, she explained, "Although I got the clam by catching it, if Yao Shihua hadn't wanted to jump into the river, I definitely wouldn't have jumped into the water in such a cold day."
Yao Shihua: ββ¦β
Zhang Weihong: β.β
Receiving Zhang Weihong's death gaze, Yao Shihua suddenly felt the pearl in his hand become inexplicably hot.
"Besides, if it weren't for Ranran's quick action, I would have drowned in the river. Not to mention the pearls, I could even have saved my life."
Wen Ran pinched the pearl and looked at it, then she felt very relieved when she accepted it. She then handed it to Hong Guo, "Here, this is something your sister Bao gave you to play with. Go find a red string and weave it together and wear it for fun."
"Thank you, Sister Bao."
"Don't be polite."
Before he could finish the pleasantries, Wen Ran keenly heard footsteps.
The noise was loud and there were a lot of people.
She turned her head and looked toward the door.
The next moment, the door of the Wen family courtyard was pushed open, and more than 20 men and women came in like gods descending from the sky.
Wen Ran: β?β
What is going on here?
"Damn it! Who bullied Honghong? Who is this bastard?!"
"Damn it, he's still breaking off the engagement. If he has the guts, I'll tear that bastard's legs apart right now!"
Upon seeing this situation, Wen Ran suddenly realized something.
Oh, it turned out that Zhang's mother's family got the news from somewhere and came to seek justice.
Yao Shihua's pupils shrank, and he spinelessly knelt down next to Zhang Weihong, hugged her legs and started howling, "Honghong, you can't just watch me get beaten to death!"
With just one sentence, everyone present instantly looked over there.
Zhangβs mother: β!β
It's going to be bad!
Zhang Weihong's eyes went dark as well. What was he doing whining at this time?
What if they get angry and start beating you without saying a word? That would be so unfair!
Little did he know that Yao Shihua, who was wailing while holding Zhang Weihong's legs, was secretly delighted.
Great, I was worried about how to deal with the Yao family. Now, more than 20 helpers are here in an instant, and they will definitely be able to deal with the Yao family and make them obedient!
