Chapter 243 Stay Away from His House
On the way, Zhang Xingwang felt like he was being brainwashed by the fourth sister. This sister kept talking to him all the way, instilling in him the benefits of marrying Yu Li from many aspects.
She was even more talkative than him. When she was excited, she would imitate the tone of an adult and speak to him earnestly:
"Brother, you can't have the idea of keeping a mistress, it's illegal.", "If you really want to have a mistress, you have to get married first.", "That guy is the same age as you, and he's married and has kids." and so on.
Hearing this, Zhang Xingwang quickly found a bumpy path, then sped up and drove all the way until his fourth sister hugged him tightly and his butt felt like it was on a spring, and then he finally calmed down.
Along the way, I didn't figure out what the fourth sister's purpose was in doing this, or whether she was just too idle.
…………
In the evening, the whole family sat at Quanjude, with two sliced roast ducks and two vegetarian dishes on the table.
Wang Xiulan felt distressed when she saw the food in front of her, but she consoled herself by thinking of her mother-in-law's words to stop meddling in other people's business, and she put aside her guilt and took the lead in inviting her children to start eating.
Under Zhang Xingwang's guidance, he rolled up the pancake and took a bite. Then his eyes lit up and he never thought about the issue of money again.
Looking at the roast duck on the table, Zhang Xingwang actually had no appetite. It’s not that he wasn’t greedy, but his mind was full of what to do about Yu Li.
I think I should have just watched the fun from a distance. Yu Li is the same. She is not smart when she should be smart, but she is very imaginative when she is stubborn. I guess it's my passive attribute that's causing the trouble...
There is really no reliable guy I know, and I feel a little jealous for some reason. After all, Yu Li, who was born in the same factory, is really pretty. A strong woman becomes a punching bag, eh...
No matter what, I have to appease that bully as soon as possible. If the matter really gets reported to the street office, I will probably have to marry him regardless of whether I am right or not.
Seeing the people at home eating with their mouths full of grease, I felt a little relieved. I shook my head helplessly and joined the group of people who were eating.
It was just that the fourth sister seemed to be very worried today. She looked at Zhang Xingwang and Wang Xiulan from time to time, as if she couldn't help but say something. I guess she couldn't share the gossip...
However, under the threat of Zhang Xingwang's eyes, he still obediently lowered his head to eat, as if he had a grudge against the food and kept eating without stopping.
Only the eldest sister and the little girl ate heartlessly. The little girl ate very quickly, taking small bites, squinting her eyes and looking very happy, completely forgetting the pain of not being able to bring the sack.
The family finished dinner, and when it was time to pay the bill Wang Xiulan almost fainted when she saw the prices. She ran to check the bill with the waiter for a long time. Only after hearing her fourth sister say it was no problem did she look at Zhang Xingwang reluctantly as he paid.
After leaving the house, he was still muttering:
"Why is it so expensive? This meal alone is enough to pay for the betrothal gift."
Seeing that my mother looked thoughtful after she finished speaking, Zhang Xingwang quickly took over, diverted the fighting, and said seriously:
"That's right, but if you don't get married, you'll be an old maid..."
After hearing this, the elder sister who was serving as the background ran away without saying a word. Zhang Xingwang looked at the angry Wang Xiulan, and immediately pushed the bicycle in front of his mother, saying slowly:
"Mom, you ride your bike and take my second sister and the little girl back first. My fourth sister and I will follow behind. It's a good time to go back early and make some soup for my second brother-in-law with the duck bones. I guess he should be back from overtime by now."
Watching Wang Xiulan riding her bike to chase her elder sister, Zhang Xingwang stopped and said to his fourth sister in a deep voice:
"Ruonan, should we have a good talk..."
After hearing this, the fourth sister looked as if she had expected it, and said:
"Brother, Sister Yu Li is so nice, it would be great if you could just marry her."
"Why do you think so? Besides, Yu Li is a bit strong-willed, not my type. She went on a blind date today, and you should know what that means."
"Brother, are you sure Sister Yu Li has a strong personality? Why do I feel that she is a bit soft? Besides, I should have a sister-in-law by now, otherwise what if you learn bad things from her? Before the New Year, you came back in the middle of the night, and your face..."
"Stop... don't say that. Don't interfere in my business. You..."
"What's wrong with me?"
Seeing the ignorant look on Fourth Sister's face, she felt that she was still a child after all, so she said:
"How much free time do you have? The exam is only a few months away, don't you need to study?
Also, don’t take the university entrance exam, take the junior college entrance exam instead.”
"Why? I still want to go to college."
"It's right to listen to me. Just go ahead and apply for a junior college. I won't tell you the reason yet. You are still young and ignorant. You can figure it out slowly by yourself."
Zhang Ruonan rolled her eyes after hearing this. What did "I am ignorant" mean? Her face instantly turned red with anger. Then her brain started to work rapidly, and she began to think about her brother's "intentions".
Zhang Xingwang looked at his fourth sister who had a head full of question marks and felt that this question should be enough to give her a headache. Even if her IQ was high, she would not be able to figure it out.
Sure enough, the fourth sister was much quieter along the way. The two of them returned to the yard. After entering, they saw Yan Jiecheng smoking at the door.
Seeing him shivering from the cold, Zhang Xingwang was originally wondering why he was smoking outside in the wedding night. Could it be that he couldn't unsheathe his cigarette? Who would dare to help him...
He originally wanted to make a few more jokes, but when Yan Jiecheng's wife came quickly over to call him into the house, Zhang Xingwang subconsciously turned his head and took a look in the moonlight, then instantly lost his voice, stammered a greeting, and took his fourth sister and went back at full speed.
I also found out the reason why Yan Jiecheng went out to smoke. I felt that there was nothing wrong with going out to smoke in this situation. He would only smoke until he was dizzy before he could do it.
Zhang Xingwang kept his head up along the way, thinking madly about all the sad things he had experienced, so as to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
I was originally thinking of finding Liu Haizhong to talk about Yan Bugui's banquet, but now I have no interest in doing so at all. I think I should stay away from his house in the future. After all, distance creates beauty.
It's just a dollar for a bite of cabbage. As the old saying goes, it's a blessing to suffer a loss. Why can Yan Jiecheng suffer a loss? My family must follow suit. Otherwise, I will feel guilty every time I think of being bullied...
The next day at noon, Yu Li was on her way home with a depressed look on her face. She held her empty stomach and frowned slightly.
Although the three siblings in the family all had a ration, my father's salary was limited, and after daily expenses, there was no money left to buy expensive food.
Besides, my younger brother was at the age when he was a teenager and could make his father poor. During the Chinese New Year, my mother saved up half a month's money in advance...
Anyway, I didn’t get to eat vegetarian dumplings in the end…
