Chapter 413: Chapter 11: Shall We Leave Together_3
The educated youth are different from the villagers, if they don’t work, they won’t have food, and without food, they have to eat from the communal meals. Zhao Weihong has been slacking off for quite a while, and nobody likes others taking advantage of them, everyone is watching her.
Zhao Weihong forced a blush on her face, pretending to be shy like painting an old cucumber green: "Yesterday, didn’t Shi Suifeng save me? I heard the villagers say they must have him marry me... How can this be?"
"I..."
She lowered her head and stopped speaking.
The gathered educated youth exchanged glances.
After some time, suddenly someone burst into laughter.
What followed was a chorus of laughter.
Zhao Weihong was completely puzzled, yet slightly annoyed: "What are you laughing at?" She realized something, thinking she had uncovered the truth: "Shi Suifeng looks good, has a promising future, you’re just jealous!"
Several female educated youth were laughing so hard they couldn’t straighten up: "Zhao Weihong, you should wash your face and take a good look—why would anyone want to marry you?"
"It’s you who’s gone crazy wanting to get married—clearly, it was Chu River who saved you, and not only do you not acknowledge this life-saving grace, you also want to usurp Chu River’s relationship..."
"Pah! You should have some shame."
...
Zhao Weihong felt as if she was struck by lightning!
—What do these words mean? Could it be that what they said yesterday wasn’t about her?
She grabbed the clothes of the female comrade in front of her: "What do you mean by this? Wasn’t it Shi Suifeng who saved me yesterday? I clearly told him, saw him coming over—"
The words were out, too late to retract. The educated youth exchanged glances, suppressed their laughter, and instead mocked coldly:
"Oh, so that’s how it is."
"I was wondering why you didn’t go to work and ran to Shi Family’s land to jump in the river."
"Turns out you were trying to sell by force."
No one wanted to associate deeply with Zhao Weihong, the leading female educated youth flipped her braid: "Then you’ve got no chance. Yesterday, Comrade Chu River enthusiastically saved you, exhausted himself after bringing you to shore, and then was saved by Shi Suifeng—the whole village saw it."
Zhao Weihong suddenly felt dizzy.
...
Meanwhile, the Shi Family and Old Chu Family were also conducting their pre-marriage negotiation.
With tight schedules and heavy tasks, both families had their own agendas and went straight to the point.
Old Mrs. Chu initially wanted to hold her daughter’s hand to show her love for her daughter, but seeing Chu River’s clear eyes, she didn’t dare.
In the end, she could only express her reluctance into the air:
"In-laws, I really don’t want Little He to talk about marriage at such a young age. Your Little Three is capable, he can go far, and he might take my daughter far away too... I can’t bear it!"
Zhao Xiuhua sneered inwardly: What a pipe dream!
Thinking of joining the army? No way.
If Little Three joins the army, he would have his own family, how would her son bring money home?
So she laughed too, even warmly patting the back of Old Mrs. Chu’s hand: "Oh dear, sister-in-law, you can’t say that. Little He is such a good girl, I’ve seen her diligence since she was young—don’t worry, she won’t join the army, our Little San doesn’t have the right yet, just let her stay with me!"
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry, we won’t let mother and daughter be separated."
Old Mrs. Chu’s heart skipped a beat!
...
Looking at Chu River, the smile deepened, clearly satisfied with this situation.
Old Mrs. Chu and Old Chu exchanged a glance, their hearts frozen.
Can’t join the army, then what marriage can she talk about?
It’s all in the same village, just a few steps away. When the calamity hits, it hits every household, when one eats meat, the other boils fish... Wouldn’t the tough days get even tougher!
No way!
She stiffened her expression: "That’s not possible! I’m concerned for my daughter, but since she’s married, she must take care of her own family, and can’t be separated from her husband for long."
She turned her head, gathered her courage, and said to Chu River: "Little He, listen to your mother, you’ll follow your husband to the army!"
Chu River was quite reluctant: "I actually wanted to stay in the village for a while longer..."
These words were genuine.
Her own family already allowed her to eat well, now with another, wouldn’t it be double happiness?
Leaving just like this, she’d miss out on many fat chickens and ducks.
But following Shi Suifeng, he’s skilled, and has money...
It truly was a dilemma of choice.
Her heartfelt dilemma made Old Mrs. Chu tremble.
So, without hesitation, she looked at Zhao Xiuhua: "In-laws, listen to me, the couple must be together!"
