Chapter 357: Saved by a fierce and rough boss
Wen Yang's eldest brother, Wen Zhong, took a bite of a corn steamed bun and mumbled, "Little sister...you haven't left the house these past two days, and your sister-in-law is secretly worried. Today, while working in the fields, she told me that she married someone like me. How could you, so beautiful as you, fall for that boy from the Xu family in Huangshi Village? Are you blind..."
Huang Cuili, who was standing by, quickly reached out and slapped Wen Zhong on the back with such force that Wen Zhong was shocked.
"Hmm..." Wen Zhong couldn't help but choked when he was slapped, and then he started coughing.
"Cough cough cough cough!!!"
Huang Cuili's face flushed, and she explained to Wen Yang anxiously: "Sister Yang, that's not what I meant. I just..."
Wen Yang interrupted with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it's okay, I didn't misunderstand, I also know you are doing this for my own good. I was indeed blind before, I will definitely open my eyes in the future."
Huang Cuili felt a little relieved when she saw that Wen Yang did not look angry and seemed to not mind at all.
She turned around angrily and glared at Wen Zhong, who had just stopped coughing, and whispered, "Eat your steamed bread well!"
Seeing that his wife looked angry, Wen Zhong quickly shut his mouth and nodded repeatedly.
Wen Tuqiang and Zhao Lifang looked at each other and smiled silently.
Next, the family had dinner happily.
After finishing his meal, Wen Yang put down his chopsticks and said hesitantly, "Dad, I have something I want to ask you."
Wen Tuqiang was helping Zhao Lifang clear the dishes off the table. Hearing this, he stopped what he was doing, sat down on his chair again, and asked, "What do you want to ask, Yangyang?"
Wen Yang pursed his lips and said, "Dad, can I stay at my aunt's house in the city for a while to avoid the limelight?"
When Wen Tuqiang heard this, he knew what Wen Yang was worried about. Many people in the village also speculated that she was going to marry into the Xu family of Huangshi Village, so there were bound to be some rumors.
He was silent for a moment, then replied, "Okay, wait for me to find a chance to contact your aunt and ask her. If it's convenient for her, you can stay there for a few days."
Wen Yang didn't expect Wen Tuqiang to agree without even asking why. She couldn't help but feel touched. Her eyes curved as she replied sweetly, "Thank you, Dad."
Wen Tuqiang smiled and waved his hand, "Dinner is over, go wash up and get some rest."
"it is good."
......
At the same time, the Cai family was also having dinner in the main hall.
The Cai family's conditions are not as good as the Wen family's, so the dishes on the table look much more limited than those of the Wen family.
There was nothing else except a plate of fried radish, a bowl of wild vegetable soup and a few cornmeal pancakes.
Cai Zhenzhen frowned, poking at the dry, hard corn tortilla in her bowl with her chopsticks, then fiddled with the oil-free stir-fried radish in front of her for a while, muttering, "It's the same thing every day. How can I eat it?"
Cui Lvliu was immediately furious when she heard this. She reached out her chopsticks and hit Cai Zhenzhen's hand, which was fiddling with the radish, harshly saying, "You damned girl, you're lucky to have something to eat. Don't you know what our family's conditions are like? You don't have the fate of a young lady, and you even have a young lady's disease. If you don't want to eat, don't eat!"
As she spoke, Cui Lvliu stuffed the corn cake into the bowl of Cai Zhenzhen's brother Cai Heping and said gently, "Heping, your sister doesn't want to eat, so you should eat more today. Eat more and grow stronger."
Cai Heping looked at the corn tortilla that Cui Luliu snatched from Cai Zhenzhen's bowl, and was a little at a loss for a moment.
He was silent for a while, then sighed and put the dry and hard corn cake back into Cai Zhenzhen's bowl. He said, "Sister, you should just eat something. You worked in the fields today, too."
Cai Zhenzhen turned her head away and said angrily, "I won't eat. I'd rather starve to death. Starving to death can save some food for this family."
When Cui Luliu saw that her son was insulted, she was even angrier than if she herself had been insulted.
She pointed at Cai Zhenzhen's nose and scolded, "How dare you talk to your brother like that? Who do you think you are?!"
Cai Zhenzhen's eyes turned red after being scolded by Cui Lvliu. She cried, "If you don't take me seriously now, don't expect me to support the family when I marry into the Peng family!"
Cai Xiang was a soft-hearted person. When he heard the mother and daughter arguing fiercely, he sighed helplessly and was about to come out to persuade them.
Cui Lvliu's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc as she said coldly, "You haven't even married Peng Guochang yet, and you're already threatening me? I'm telling you, Wen Yang won't marry and move to Huangshi Village. I don't think Peng Guochang will give up on the Wen family girl!"
"What..." Cai Zhenzhen's face turned pale when she heard this.
She asked in a trembling voice, "How is that possible? She's clearly on a hunger strike. How could she suddenly not want to marry Xu Weiren? You're lying!"
Cui Lvliu rolled her eyes at Cai Zhenzhen in annoyance. "I went to the Wen family today and saw Wen Yang come out of her room. I heard her say she wasn't getting married. How could this be false? Aunt Lifang next door even said that if rumors about her Wen Yang got out, Wen Tuqiang would come to our house to seek justice!"
Cai Xiang, who had been silent on the side, was immediately frightened when he heard that Wen Tuqiang was coming to his house. Wen Tuqiang was tall and strong. He was obviously a middle-aged man, but the tendons on his arms were so muscular that it made people tremble. He quickly said, "You two should keep quiet. Don't say anything outside and let others come to your house. Eat! Eat!"
When Cui Luliu heard her man say this, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with him for being a coward.
But in order to avoid the quarrel from continuing, she curled her lips and said nothing more.
But Cai Zhenzhen was still shocked by Wen Yang's unwillingness to marry into Huangshi Village.
She held the chopsticks in her hand, and her hand trembled unconsciously.
It was Cai Xiang who took the initiative to pick up a piece of radish for Cai Zhenzhen with chopsticks and urged her, "Eat quickly." Only then did Cai Zhenzhen go down the stairs.
After dinner, Cai Zhenzhen returned to her room and lay on the bed, feeling extremely confused.
If Wen Yang didn't marry, wouldn't the food she secretly gave to Xu Weiren be lost?
Besides, Wen Yang is not getting married now. When Peng Guochang finds out, he will definitely not give up on Wen Yang.
She had once seen the love letter Peng Guochang wrote to Wen Yang, which read, "If you are not married, I will not marry..."
Thinking of this, Cai Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and at the same time, a feeling of unwillingness rose in her heart.
Why? Wen Yang is loved by the whole family at home and cared for by his father and brother, like a pearl in their hands.
At home, she had to endure her mother's beatings and scoldings all the time, and also help her brother find a wife in the future...
We were all born in Honghua Village, so why are our fates so different?
Thinking of this, Cai Zhenzhen became twisted with jealousy.
She secretly gritted her teeth and made up her mind that she must go to Wen Yang to talk again tomorrow. She must find a way to get Wen Yang to marry into the Xu family in Huangshi Village.
