Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 112 Zhangzhang Furnace, Find Someone to Replace Your Father

Zhang Changyao lay on Guan Shuyun's bed and explained to her.

"Why bother making up the numbers? Just say they're not the same. You and Zhai Qingming wouldn't disagree, would they?"

Guan Shuyun was confused and couldn't figure out the intricacies of the situation.

"Sis, is that even a question? It's just so that if things go downhill, we can split the profits proportionally and not be taken advantage of, right?"

Zhang Changyao put his hands under his head and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Changyao, are you crazy? Why would you even bother with this kind of deal?"

Thinking about making soup before even opening for business? No wonder that kind of business is doomed to fail.

Guan Shuyun patted Zhang Changyao's forehead, pouting angrily.

"Sis, I've got a backup plan, we won't suffer any losses."

He has his clever plans, and I have my own ways to overcome them. I'm not afraid of shrewd people who can outsmart me; I'm just afraid of honest people who can see through things.

He's tricked me a lot since I was a child, and I've learned my lesson by doing it.

Now, as soon as he gets close to me, I can tell what tricks he's up to.

I can tell how many turds he's pooped just by the way he bends over.

Zhang Changyao took out a guarantee from his shirt pocket and handed it to Guan Shuyun.

"Changyao, you're too cunning. He definitely didn't see the small words 'IOU' at the beginning of the guarantee."

If she knew that what you made her put her fingerprint on was a promissory note or guarantee, she'd probably be furious.

After reading it, Guan Shuyun quickly folded it up and stuffed it back into Zhang Changyao's shirt pocket.

"Sister, let me tell you, he won't harm us, and we won't harm him either."

We're just doing this as a precaution, in case this kid has bad intentions.

As long as he is honest and wants to do business with me.

"We're not heartless people, we definitely can't let him worry and arrange things for nothing." Zhang Changyao closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

"Changyao, it'll be dark soon, you should go back quickly. I don't need you to take care of me here."

You need to keep a close eye on the house construction project.

Go back and tell your aunt that I'm going straight to Hu Xiao's house after being discharged from the hospital.

When the baby is born, I will hold the baby in my arms...

Before Guan Shuyun could finish speaking, she choked up and lowered her head, unable to speak any more.

"Sister, my aunt has already agreed to let you and Hu Xiao be together."

My aunt has only one request: that Hu Xiaoming marry her properly.

She's afraid that if you stay with someone like this without a proper status, you'll be gossiped about and looked down upon by the villagers.

You should understand my aunt's feelings; she did this for your own good.

Think about my sister-in-law and Wu Ni, they are such good examples.

My sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law that my father paid a high price for and went through a lot of trouble to marry.

Whenever my sister-in-law loses her temper, my father and my older brother are terrified.

On the other hand, my Wuni didn't spend a single penny, yet she has no standing in the hearts of the elderly.

My father would never let go of any opportunity to bully Wu Ni.

Therefore, we still need to make Hu Xiao marry you properly.

Only in this way will others not dare to gossip behind your back, and only then can you live a peaceful life.

Zhang Changyao earnestly tried to persuade Guan Shuyun not to misunderstand her mother, Zhang Shuhua.

"Okay! I'll go home in a few days, and you can come pick me up."

Changyao, I'll listen to you, you're the only one who won't betray me.

Guan Shuyun pushed Zhang Changyao off the bed and chased him home.

Zhang Changyao took out the money he had left over from buying wontons and put it on the bed.

Guan Shuyun grabbed it again and stuffed it into Zhang Changyao's shirt pocket.

"Changyao, I know that you and Wuni are good to your older sister."

When I have money in the future, I'll buy you all delicious food.

"Keep this money in your pocket, go to the convenience store later and buy some fruit for Wu Ni."

"Alright, my older sister is now the head of the willow basket factory, I'll gladly accept this offer."

Zhang Changyao covered his pocket, smiling with his eyes narrowed as if he were being pampered.

Zhang Changyao used the money specifically for this purpose to go to the convenience store and bought a bag of Guoguang apples with the money Guan Shuyun gave him.

The little donkey walked steadily, and Zhang Changyao didn't dare to hit it, fearing it might fall into a ditch on the dark road.

"Socialism is good, socialism is good, the people of socialist countries have a high status..."

Zhang Changyao was afraid of walking alone at night, so he sang at the top of his lungs to bolster his courage.

"Third Uncle, I recognized you immediately. This tune is completely off; not a single word matches."

At some point, a dark figure jumped from behind Zhang Changyao onto the donkey cart.

"Hey! Yutian, you trying to scare your third uncle to death?"

Zhang Changyao was startled and turned around to find that it was Guan Yutian.

"Third Uncle, my mother says you're the third son, so what about my second uncle?"

Guan Yutian lay upright on the donkey cart plank and poked Zhang Changyao with his finger.

"Your second uncle gave him away," Zhang Changyao replied without turning around.

"Third Uncle, why don't any women want to be with me?"

I met 800 potential partners this year, but it was all for nothing.

"Unlike you, you have one woman after another, several women wanting to sleep with you." Guan Yutian sighed after saying this.

"Yutian, if you can't see her, it's just that fate hasn't come yet. When fate comes, even if you're a toad, she'll still find you handsome."

How old was your third uncle when he got married? How old are you?

"By the time you get to my age, your kids might already be old enough to run errands," Zhang Changyao tried to comfort Guan Yutian.

"Third Uncle, my father scolded me today. He said I can only marry a fool like me."

I ran out in a fit of anger, thinking I'd hide in the trench and not let them find me.

But no one has contacted me yet, and I guess no one knows that I'm angry with them.

If you hadn't passed by, I would have wanted to leave this home where no one cares about me.

If my dad brings me back a mentally challenged wife.

I immediately ran away from home to live as a wild man or a monkey in the mountains.

Guan Yutian mumbled something, but closed his eyes and soon started snoring.

"This kid, going to live like a savage, he'll be starving back in three days."

Zhang Changyao listened to Guan Yutian's snoring and chuckled to himself.

He took off his own clothes and covered Guan Yutian's upper body with them.

Upon entering the village, Zhang Changyao did not go home but instead drove his donkey cart directly into Guan Lin's courtyard.

The donkey cart wasn't even tied up, and he started scolding Guan Lin as soon as he entered the house.

"Second brother, how can you talk to your child like that without a father like you?"

Yutian is a bit slow to react, but he's not really stupid. Why are you provoking him?

"If I hadn't come back late and run into him, you would all be regretting it."

Zhang Changyao relayed Guan Yutian's words to Guan Lin and Li Yue'e.

"I wasn't angry, but he was? The money I spent on finding him a matchmaker in a year could buy a donkey."

If he doesn't like one candidate, it's not his fault. If he doesn't like a hundred candidates, whose fault is it if not his?

Don't we, as parents, want to find him a beautiful and clever daughter-in-law?

"Useless bastard, if you run again I'll break your legs."

Guan Lin picked up a fire poker and was about to go to the donkey cart to hit Guan Yutian.

"Second brother, I don't like hearing what you're saying. Is he just blaming himself?"

Didn't you give birth to him differently from other children?

You, as a father, possess all these qualities: cunning, good looks, and the ability to attract women, yet you leave none for your child.

What do you expect him to do? Go back to school, find a new family to replace his father?
