Chapter 54 Curse

◎Heroic Dream◎

"Who is attracting bees and butterflies?" Seeing that my wife was still gloating, I knew that she was not really angry, so I immediately said, "Let's not talk about those people who ruined the fun. Come and take a look at the photos I took today. They are very beautiful. I think I can go out and set up a stall to make money with my skills."

Unable to bear seeing Jiang Che bragging, Wei Xuan leaned forward and said, "Let me see, who takes the better photos, you or me and Yuanyuan."

The couple talked it out and put the matter behind them. Sometimes a little jealousy can help regulate the relationship between husband and wife. Wei Xuan would not get angry at irrelevant people. She has a lot of things to do and there is no need to waste time on some insignificant people.

At this time, the Zhong sisters who were still in the park were also discussing Wei Xuan.

Zhong Guilan envied Wei Xuan. They were both women, so why could she still look so beautiful after giving birth? She looked at herself. Her hands were rough and black from working all the time. No matter how much clam oil the men bought, it was useless. Although the clothes she wore were new, they were not as fashionable as Wei Xuan's.

As for Zhong Yulan, she just listened to her elder sister's words silently without responding.

She still remembered that when she first met Jiang Che, she was attracted by his unique temperament. He was different from all the men she had met in the village. Jiang Che was handsome and fair-skinned. Standing among a group of people, he was the most eye-catching one.

Unfortunately, before she could be happy for two days, she heard from her brother-in-law that he was married and even had a child.

...

...

Even so, she didn't give up. What's wrong with having a child and a wife? She thought she was pretty, and as long as Jiang Che could fall in love with her, it would be fine.

In order to get to know Jiang Che better, she first used the excuse that her younger brother had beaten him and moved into her sister's house.

During the time she spent at her sister's house, she discovered a lot of things. It turned out that her brother-in-law had been running a small business in private and seemed to have made a lot of money.

She also found out everything about Jiang Che, including that his father was a factory director and that his wife was also a country girl like her.

Knowing this, Zhong Yulan became even more eager.

She used to envy her sister for having a good marriage and a brother-in-law who was rich and willing to spend money on her.

But if she could marry Jiang Che, wouldn't she be able to live a better life than her sister?

After all, no matter how rich my brother-in-law is, that money is earned from speculation and should not be made public.

But Jiang Che was different. He was good-looking, had a good family background, and had a decent job. More importantly, if she married him, she would be a city dweller. Who would dare to look down on her in the future?

How can she marry Jiang Che? First of all, she has to get in touch with him.

But Jiang Che was a city dweller, and the only way to meet him was in the city. So she thought of a way to encourage her elder sister to go to the place where her brother-in-law did business.

Originally, when she first mentioned this matter, Zhong Guilan was a little hesitant, but she couldn't resist Zhong Yulan whispering in her ear again and again.

After a few days, Zhong Guilan was somewhat persuaded by her words. She felt that her younger sister was right. Why couldn't she go and see her husband's business? If he didn't show her, it meant that he had something to hide. Maybe he was hiding another woman. Then she had to go and see it to feel at ease. So, at night, when they were alone in the room, she told Wu Yun about it.

Wu Yun liked Zhong Guilan's thoughtfulness and virtue. He wanted to get married at first because he envied Jiang Che and also because he wanted to have a family as he got older.

The appearance of Zhong Guilan just met all his imaginations of a wife. It didn't matter if she was very pretty, as long as she could manage the household well and he could have a hot meal when he returned home.

Moreover, Zhong Guilan also reminded him of his past self. As the eldest in the family, he worked hard for his younger brothers and sisters. No one understood better than Wu Yun the hardship of carrying a family alone.

This kind of pity also increased Wu Yun's desire to marry Zhong Guilan. Even though he knew that she had a vampire brother, he still ignored his grandmother.

He married her despite the opposition. In the final analysis, it was just the bad nature of men that was at work!

Men probably all have a dream of being a hero and like to save others at any time.

So when Zhong Guilan proposed to go to Beijing to check out his business, Wu Yun agreed after just a slight hesitation.

In his heart, Wu Guilan was honest and trustworthy, and since they were married, they were a family, and there was nothing to hide. As for his sister-in-law, she was quite obedient and well-behaved, so he could just take her along, and it wouldn't be a problem.

Zhong Yulan's plan succeeded and she followed her elder sister-in-law to Beijing.

Section 44

Now that she was here, she certainly couldn't just walk around and go back so easily.

When Zhong Guilan was about to go back, she made the excuse that it was not good to always stay at her sister and brother-in-law's house, so it would be better for her to stay here and help her brother-in-law.

Zhong Guilan also thought that her younger sister could help her keep an eye on the man, so she agreed.

Wu Yun thought of his grandmother at home. She had privately suggested to him several times to let his sister-in-law leave, but he didn't tell his wife for the sake of face. Now that his sister-in-law was willing to stay, he finally had an explanation to his grandmother.

So it was natural for Zhong Xiulan to stay.

Only after she stayed did she realize that Jiang Che was also a frequent visitor to his brother-in-law's place.

When she first saw Jiang Che here, she was so surprised that she thought God had heard her thoughts.

Later, she found out that Jiang Che was also secretly doing business with his brother-in-law, and the food he sent was made by his wife, which sold very well.

Listening to everyone praising Jiang Che's wife, Zhong Yulan agreed on the surface but didn't take it seriously in her heart.

It was not until she finally met Wei Xuan today that she realized that everyone was not exaggerating. Jiang Che's wife was really beautiful.

But Zhong Yulan was not discouraged at all. What's wrong with being pretty? She's not ugly, okay? Brother Jiang is so well-off, his wife can't be ugly.

But no matter how good-looking someone is, if you look at them every day, you will get tired of them one day.

She has been waiting for this day!

Wei Xuan didn’t know that someone was cursing her unhappy marriage behind her back. Even if she knew, it wouldn’t matter. If curses could come true, the world would have been in chaos long ago.

The Wei family has already written her a letter, saying that after a few days of discussion, the family finally decided to transport their own surplus grain to the city to sell first, and at that time they might have to occupy Wei Xuan's place to store the grain.

Wei Xuan’s mind is now on this matter, and she is worried that her brothers will be unsafe on the way to transport food.

Seeing this, Jiang Che had no choice but to divert her attention with other things.

"You can cook a few more dishes tonight. I have invited Cheng Shao to come to my house for dinner."

Wei Xuan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Is he alone?"

"He's the only one here. I don't know if his wife will come. Jianjun's wife is pregnant, and he has no time recently."

"Okay, I understand." Wei Xuan guessed that Jiang Che invited Cheng Shao to dinner probably to talk about her family's grain business.

So the evening meal was prepared to be extra sumptuous.

Chicken stewed with potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried beans with meat, stir-fried cabbage, steamed eggplant, and smashed cucumber.

Finally, she planned to mix in some preserved eggs.

Jiang Che had heard from somewhere that duck eggs were nutritious, so he bought a bag of them. Wei Xuan fried them once but found they were too fishy and not tasty, so she pickled the rest with wood ash.

It’s been about one and a half months now, so it should be ready to eat.

While Wei Xuan was still busy in the kitchen, Jiang Che and Cheng Shao came back together.

This was the first time Cheng Shao came to visit Wei Xuan since he moved to Beijing, so he asked him how the house was living.

Cheng Shao smiled and said, "It's great. Thanks to Brother Jiang for introducing me to such a good house. It's just a little far from here, otherwise Qianqian and I could come here often to eat. Sister-in-law's cooking skills are impeccable. You can't forget it after eating it once."

Cheng Shao is sweet-talking and good at speaking, so Wei Xuan now has a better impression of him.

When he mentioned Bian Qianqian, she asked casually, "Why didn't you bring your wife here today? Otherwise, she would have to cook at home alone."

"She has no mood to go out recently. Since the child learned to walk, he has been very naughty. Taking him out can make people collapse. It is more tiring than selling food door to door for me."

Hearing this, Jiang Che hugged his daughter and said with a smile: "The boy is naughty, but the girl is obedient!"

Wei Xuan looked at him. How could he be so immodest in front of others? And she really didn't see how Yuanyuan was well behaved. The little bastard could drag his little feet from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed like a spinning top while lying on the bed. He was never quiet for a moment.

Only Jiang Che, as a father, is selectively blind and can only see the cute side of his daughter.

Knowing that Jiang Che would discuss serious matters with Cheng Shao in the evening, Wei Xuan did not go to the main hall with the children to eat with them after dinner was ready.

She picked up some of her favorite dishes, then made a bowl of walnut rice noodles for Yuanyuan, and carried her into the bedroom where the mother and daughter ate alone.

In the main room, after two glasses of wine, Jiang Che finally told Cheng Shao the purpose of his visit today.

After hearing this, Cheng Shao sighed, "I thought Brother Jiang had something important to talk to me about, is it just this? It's okay, my sister-in-law's brother can do it if he wants to. This business is not monopolized by me. I am a talented person. Even if there is no sister-in-law and brother, there will be others. It's okay, don't worry about me."

Jiang Che smiled when he heard this: "I said Brother Cheng Shao wouldn't be so stingy, but your sister-in-law was worried and asked me to ask you first. I think what she said makes sense. If we don't know each other, it's fine. But since we know each other, you should do the business first. It's better to inform you in advance than to hide it."

"Brother, you have helped me so much, and I haven't had a chance to thank you properly. This time, if you have any problems, just come and ask me. After all, I have been doing this longer than them, so I have figured out a few tricks."

"Then I'd like to thank you brother first. Come, let's have another one."

The two of them drank a lot that night. When Cheng Shao staggered home, Bian Qianqian smelled the alcohol on him before she even got close to him. She couldn't help but frowned and asked, "How much did you drink?"

Cheng Shao sat down on the chair, thought for a while and then said, "It seems to be... two bottles or one bottle?"

"Ouch, this smell..." It was too strong. Bian Qianqian couldn't help but took a step back and fanned her nose with her hand: "Go wash it quickly."

I originally wanted to ask them what they talked about that night, but it seems like I won’t be able to get anything out of them.

Cheng Shao drank so much, Jiang Che must have drunk as much as he did. Wei Xuan disliked the pungent smell on him, so she sent him to sleep in the main room to avoid stinking her daughter.
