Chapter 219: The Hapless Eldest Sister 34
After this unpleasant episode, Yuan Chun’s good mood for the New Year was halved.
Having spent New Year’s Eve at Zhong Li Jing’s house, she only stayed one night. By the afternoon of New Year’s Day, she was already organizing to return home, despite Jiang Yuhua and Zhong Li Jing’s efforts to persuade her to stay. Yuan Chun rode her bicycle home.
On the second day of the New Year, Wang Ziteng came over with a bag of snacks.
"Grandma said she’s worried you might be bored spending the New Year alone, so she sent me to accompany you and go out." He said, placing the snacks on the table, "These are from relatives. I picked some of each and brought them for you to eat."
Yuan Chun tore open a cake packet, took a piece, and asked him, "How did you know I came back?"
"Zhongli Jun ran into my grandma at the courtyard when he went to pay New Year visits and mentioned Zhong Liqi bullying you. We figured you’d definitely come home."
Wang Ziteng looked at his wife with concern, "Yuan Chun, you don’t need to care about what that old woman Zhong Liqi says. She’s been on the farm for over a decade, she’s gone crazy. I heard she even got married on the farm, but after returning to the city, she abandoned her husband and kids."
"After coming back to Beijing, she started pestering her ex-husband who had abandoned her earlier, insisting on marrying him again after his divorce, which made a lot of people laugh at her."
When trouble hit Zhongli’s house, Zhong Liqi had been married for five years, and her son was already three years old. But as soon as Zhongli’s house fell, her husband immediately divorced her, making a clean break.
Because he was worried Zhong Liqi wouldn’t give up, the ex-husband even sent her to the farm for reform.
A once pampered young lady suddenly being sent off to do farm work, you can imagine how hard her life became. Over the years, if it weren’t for the second husband taking care of her, she might not have survived to walk out of that farm.
But as soon as she returned to the city, she abandoned him and started pestering the man who once abandoned her, who knows what kind of brain structure she has.
Yuan Chun’s eyes rolled around, and she laughed, "Wang Ziteng, do you think I should write a letter to my uncle? No matter what, he took care of my aunt for so many years. Now that my aunt has abandoned him, it’s just not right."
"Yuan Chun, that’s a great idea. Zhong Liqi is too selfish, too thick-skinned. She needs to be taught a lesson, so she knows you’re not someone to be bullied."
So, Wang Ziteng went to find out Zhong Liqi’s second husband’s address and name. Not long after, Yuan Chun sent a telegram to him.
On the eighth day of the New Year, Yuan Chun got up early, dressed beautifully. She wore a red lace dress with a warm lining inside, and a red wool coat outside.
She wore the Jade Pendant left by her mother around her neck, Jade Bracelet on her wrist also from her mom, gold earrings, and two gold rings on her fingers.
One was Wang Ziteng’s engagement ring, the other was a betrothal gift from the Wang family.
Adorned in gold and jade, elegant yet luxurious, she dazzled Wang Ziteng who came to pick up his bride. "Darling, you look beautiful today."
"Was I not beautiful yesterday? Not beautiful the day before?" Yuan Chun smiled teasingly, "In your eyes, am I only beautiful today and not every day?"
"No, no, darling, you’re beautiful every day, especially beautiful today."
Wang Ziteng laughed sillily, completely unaware that Yuan Chun was teasing him.
It wasn’t until Wang Ziteng’s big brother gave a hint that Wang Ziteng realized, and he chuckled foolishly, "Darling, as long as you’re happy, you can tease me as much as you want."
