Chapter 98 Returning to Her Mother's Home to Slap Wang Yulan in the Face 1
Wang Yuqing walked ahead aggressively, but ended up forgetting which way to go.
She couldn't very well tell Ji Xuening that she didn't remember how to get to her house, which she had lived in since she was a child, could she? So, she slowed down and said to Ji Xuening, "Let me see if you remember how to get to my house."
Ji Xuening: "..."
He pulled the wooden cart ahead, winding his way for a distance before finally stopping in front of the Wang family's house in the residential compound.
Wang Yuqing gave a thumbs up: "Not bad, you have a good memory."
Isn't that great? They only went once and they still remember it.
Wang Yuqing went up and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time. According to the original owner's memory, Lin Xuemei and Wang Jiandong were both on the day shift this month and it was almost time to get off work.
Wang Yulan was left alone in the house; the two naughty and tiny twins had gone to school.
Just then, an older woman from next door came home from get off work and happened to see Wang Yuqing and Ji Xuening. With a look of gossip and curiosity, she walked over, sized them up, and said, "Oh, isn't this the second son of the Wang family? You're back today? To see your parents?"
Before Wang Yuqing could reply, the old woman continued, "I heard you went back to the countryside with the man you were betrothed to since childhood. How's life there? Is it tough in the countryside?"
Wang Yuqing searched through the original owner's memories. This woman's surname was Huang, and she was Lin Xuemei's mortal enemy. Although she liked to gossip and wasn't exactly kind to the original owner, she was much better than the Wang family. At least she didn't bully them.
She replied, "Life is much better than at home, but it's not hard at all."
Aunt Huang looked Wang Yuqing up and down and said, "You look much more energetic and have a better complexion. It seems you're doing really well in the countryside, much better than at home. You're usually doing laundry and cooking at this time."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Ji Xuening, who had been silent, and looked him over from head to toe. She chuckled and said, "Is this your childhood sweetheart? Tsk tsk, he's quite handsome, just like the male actors in movies. I never expected him to be so good-looking. He doesn't look like a country bumpkin at all."
Wang Yuqing was quite proud: "That's right, such a good cop, he's a perfect match for me."
Aunt Huang: "..."
Although it sounded vain, she could indeed see that this person, who was usually timid and didn't dare to look people in the eye, seemed to have changed completely. Upon closer inspection, his nose and eyes were very well-proportioned, unlike those of the Wang family.
Aunt Huang's eyes remained fixed on Ji Xuening as she asked, "Young comrade, what's your name?"
Ji Xuening glanced at Wang Yuqing, and seeing that her expression and attitude were good, replied, "Ji Xuening."
Aunt Huang smiled broadly: "Comrade Ji, is this your second time visiting your mother-in-law's house? The first time I heard some noise, but I didn't see you."
Ji Xuening nodded.
Because Wang Yulan inside wouldn't open the door for a long time, Aunt Huang kept pestering Ji Xuening outside, asking him all sorts of questions.
Ji Xuening clearly didn't want to pay attention, replying with only one word after a long time.
Wang Yuqing interrupted Aunt Huang: "Aunt Huang, he's shy and doesn't like to talk. Plus, he's coming to my house, so he's a little nervous."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Huang was able to pick up on this topic: "Aren't you nervous? To put it bluntly, your parents are very mean-spirited. They have always looked down on Comrade Xiao Ji and are always praising their eldest son-in-law."
"She's been going around the factory saying that Comrade Xiao Ji is practically begging to propose marriage, shamelessly trying to get close to her, without even considering whether he's good enough for her..."
"Your mother is so smug. She tells everyone that she's from the city, that both parents work, and that her eldest daughter and son-in-law are capable people. Even though you're the only useless one in the family, you're still surnamed Wang, and at the very least, you're better off than the Ji family."
"Anyway, the gist of their words is that Comrade Ji is not good enough for your Wang family. The reason they are so eager to propose marriage is to curry favor with your Wang family. They also said that he is destined to be a farmer for life and will never be able to eat white rice in his life."
After Aunt Huang finished speaking, she chuckled and said, "I just don't like talking to your mother. You know, even though Comrade Ji is a bit poor, he's a good person, isn't that right?"
Wang Yuqing secretly glanced at Ji Xuening and noticed that his face was tense, his eyes were dark and deep, and his fingers were tightening little by little.
Aunt Huang also realized this and hurriedly said, "I'm a straightforward person, I don't know how to beat around the bush, I'm just a messenger. These are all things your mother-in-law said. That's just how she is, what's her name again? A materialistic and snobbish person who looks down on the poor and loves the rich."
Wang Yuqing suddenly moved closer to Ji Xuening and smiled gently: "My Ji Xuening will not only not be a farmer in the future, but will also eat white rice every day until he gets tired of it."
She added confidently, "He's intelligent, courageous, and decisive; he's destined for greatness and will rise above others sooner or later!"
After hearing this, Aunt Huang secretly sneered. A poor peasant, no matter what, is still a poor peasant. What kind of superior person is he? Who would believe that?
However, she had to admit that Ji Xuening looked much more energetic and handsome than her two sons. She really didn't know how his parents had produced him.
Ji Xuening stared intently at Wang Yuqing, his eyes wide with surprise. Soon, his previously cold expression softened into a gentle smile, and his voice was low and gentle: "I will!"
Those three simple words seemed to be a promise to her.
Aunt Huang was a little embarrassed. She glanced at Wang Yuqing and Ji Xuening's empty hands and asked, "Why didn't you bring anything? You're going back to your parents' home, after all. You know what kind of person your mother is..."
"I'll bring my ass!"
Wang Yuqing suddenly blurted out a swear word.
Aunt Huang was even more embarrassed. She gave an awkward laugh and, seeing the door open, quickly said, "I have to go make breakfast."
After saying that, he hurriedly slipped away.
The door opened to find Wang Yulan, who was heavily pregnant and had a bloated figure. Her face was sallow and mottled, yet she still maintained an arrogant demeanor, her eyes shifting from surprise to haughty disdain.
She said in a cold voice, "How could it be you, Silly Er?"
After saying that, he glanced at Ji Xuening again and said with disdain, "Why did you bring him home? How did you get home? What did Dad say back then? Once you leave this house, don't come back. We all know about the crazy things you did in the countryside. What's the meaning of your sudden return?"
She asked, "Can't you make it here anymore? Or can't you stand it anymore? A person has to have backbone. How did you leave this house in the first place? But if you want to come back, you can. I'll put in a good word for you and ask your brother-in-law to find you a decent job. Don't go back to setting up a stall and making a fool of yourself."
After saying that, she touched her stomach.
After all, she's about to give birth and needs someone to take care of her and her baby son.
Wang Yuqing chuckled lightly: "You're really something, pretending to be a good person while showing off. You've got a very clever plan. You just want me to be your free maid, at your beck and call, right?"
