Chapter 8: What a true best friend!
Zhang Guixiang, however, remained calm and refuted the Li family members.
"What era is it now? You are still doing such immoral things. Everyone outside is happy that those big bosses from overseas are coming to invest, but you still want to harm my family? Go ahead and do what you want!"
The family had an older son who often bought newspapers for the family. Even though Zhang Guixiang was illiterate, she asked her younger son to read them out of curiosity so that he could have some familiarity with foreign policies.
Otherwise, how could I dare to bring Jiang Yu home? It’s not like I want to die.
Seeing how confident she was, Shen Hui and others felt unsure.
In her previous life, during the years when she married into the Zhou family, Shen Hui was always depressed and immersed in misery, so she didn't pay any attention to any policies.
But when I followed that small boss to the big cities in the south, I heard that foreign investment was very popular.
Could it be that the Zhou family, which has fallen into the mud, is really going to get up again because of this woman from overseas?
Then what was the suffering she endured in her previous life? Can she endure hardship?
Zhang Guixiang raised her head, glanced at Shen Hui, whose expression kept changing, and snorted coldly.
"Some people just don't have that kind of luck, and they ruin all the good fortune they have."
"But maybe I was born with bad luck, otherwise why would something go wrong when I got engaged to her family? With this marriage change, my family will be in trouble."
This statement was just short of pointing at Shen Hui and cursing her for having an unlucky life, but the people who were watching the fun thought about it and it seemed to make sense, and the way they looked at Shen Hui seemed a little strange.
Li Changjun's expression also changed subtly. He was originally standing with Shen Hui, but now he silently moved half a step forward.
Mother Li looked Shen Hui up and down, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she pulled her son a little further away from Shen Hui.
Shen Hui's face suddenly turned pale and then blue, and then blue and white. Her expression twisted for a moment, and her eyes turned red and she started crying.
"Aunt, I know that you are unhappy about my marriage swap with my cousin, but you can't ruin my reputation like this. Besides, this is feudal superstition, and I will be taught a lesson!"
She is quite favored at home, and the work is thrown to her cousin. Her skin is whiter than other female comrades in the village, and she is pretty. When she cries and acts so aggrieved, it still makes people feel soft-hearted.
Li Changjun patted Shen Hui's shoulder with concern and said to Zhang Guixiang with a stern face.
"The marriage exchange was originally an accident. Now Shen Zhi has gone to Zhou's house. If you continue to do this to ruin Shen Hui's reputation, I'm afraid I'll go to the county to sue you for feudal superstition!"
Mrs. Zhou put her hands on her hips and said, "You Li family members are really bad. You want to sue us for everything, right? Then I will also sue you for your bad conduct as a man and a woman."
"I want to see who will go in then!"
This confident look made Li Changjun and Shen Hui's faces turn purple with anger.
Zhang Guixiang, who had regained her former glory, glanced at them.
"I want to thank you for marrying Chen Zhi to the Zhou family. I think that girl is very lucky. When she came to my house, she brought a daughter-in-law of a wealthy overseas man to the Zhou family. This is a great blessing."
"The Li family will not be able to enjoy this blessing. Well, I still want to go and see the radio that Comrade Jiang bought for the family. There is only one of that kind in the village."
After saying this, Zhang Guixiang walked home with a red face.
The villagers who were watching the fun were caught off guard by the sourness that came over them again. Aunt Li, who had a good relationship with the Zhou family, and a few others hurried over to take a look at the radio.
The rest of those who had been making sarcastic remarks about Zhou Xiao after he broke his leg wanted to listen to the sound on the radio, but were afraid to get too close and be ridiculed by Zhang Guixiang, which was a pity.
But when they saw Shen Hui missed such a good marriage, they felt it was okay.
"Alas, Shen Hui is just unlucky. She just got married, and the Zhou family's wealthy overseas daughter-in-law is here."
"This wealth is unfortunate, and Chen Zhi picked it up for nothing."
Shen Hui almost couldn't hold back her smile as she was humiliated one after another on such a good day. She forced a smile and spoke shyly.
"Brother Changjun is very good. I don't regret the marriage exchange. Moreover, no matter how rich the overseas lesbian from the Zhou family is, it has nothing to do with my cousin. Brother Changjun gave me a betrothal gift of 300 yuan, and I am already very satisfied."
That’s right, even if that fake foreigner is real, so what?
She was just a sister-in-law who hadn't married yet. Shen Hui didn't believe that such a person would look down on her cousin who was inferior to her in every way and give her money to spend.
As long as that fake foreigner doesn't provide any benefits to Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi will still not be able to beat her!
What's more, whether that woman will marry Zhou Xiao is still another matter.
After distributing some candy and getting rid of the villagers and returning home, Mother Li immediately looked at Shen Hui and her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose.
The first thing he did was to ask Shen Hui and others to bring the 300 yuan betrothal money to Li's house when they got married.
The Shen family was not willing to do that and immediately started arguing.
Shen Hui looked at Li Changjun sadly, who was avoiding her gaze. Finally, she pulled her parents together and agreed with gritted teeth.
After seeing off the Li family, Shen Hui faced her parents who scolded her for being disloyal and looked at the yard next door and said with a flash of eyes.
"We won't pay for this. Didn't the Zhou family have a fake foreigner? People from overseas won't be short of money. The betrothal gift the Zhou family gave before was too little."
The Shen family immediately understood what she meant, and when the people from the second branch of the Shen family who had gone to the county town to eat at a restaurant with Chen Zhi's betrothal money came back, they started to instigate her.
When Chen Zhi's parents heard about the changes in the Zhou family, their eyes turned green.
If a wealthy foreigner really came to the Zhou family, then the betrothal gift given before would be invalid.
Even that two hundred yuan betrothal gift is not worthy of a foreigner's identity, right?
Jiang Yu and Shen Zhi didn't know that the heroine was causing trouble until Zhang Guixiang happily showed off her radio, drove the villagers away, and tried on her new clothes.
Jiang Yu thought of the box of clothes she bought for Chen Zhi, and said as she looked at the gray clothes Chen Zhi was wearing, which had been altered countless times and were covered with patches.
"Are the Shen family's conditions so bad? They won't even throw away such torn clothes."
Chen Zhi knew what she was going to do as soon as she made eye contact with her. She pretended to be uncomfortable and grabbed the hem of her clothes, looking at the small dress on Jiang Yu with envy.
"The conditions in the village are like this. As long as the clothes are wearable, it's fine."
Jiang Yu looked away in pain: "But this dress can't be too bad. It's not even as good as the one my bodyguard is wearing. It's an eyesore."
The bodyguards were wearing suits. If you compare them, they couldn't compare to him.
Thinking that she disliked Chen Zhi and wanted to drive him away, Zhang Guixiang immediately put down her clothes, wondering whether she should try to persuade her.
But the next second I heard Jiang Yu say.
"Forget it, it's just some clothes. I don't know how many people there are in the Zhou family, so I bought some clothes for young female comrades. You can wear them as you like."
The bodyguard went to get the suitcase containing the clothes in time.
When the box was opened, it was filled with fashionable clothes that were in line with the era, including Dacron brocade in many colors and styles, as well as small leather shoes and sneakers.
Chen Zhi winked at Jiang Yu secretly.
What a true bestie!
Zhang Guixiang, who was still thinking of persuading her, looked at the clothes in her hands, then looked at the clothes in the suitcase, covered her chest with her hands, and beat her chest and stamped her feet, wondering why she was not wearing patched clothes that would bother Jiang Yu.
