Chapter 143 By then you will be eating melon seeds in the office every day.
Liu Pandi no longer wanted to care about this stupid girl. With a whole family living together in a house of more than 60 square meters, it would be difficult to turn around. Only she remembered.
"If his parents were really that powerful, they would have taken him back long ago, and wouldn't have waited until now.
You said that marrying Zhou Jingchen would give you a good life, but where is the good life you are talking about? Where is his parents' salary?
Why can't I see anything?
I see that other educated youths in the Youth League often receive packages. Where is your husband's package?
If his family really loves him, why don't they send him money or packages?
Not only do you get nothing when you marry him, but he can't even support you. Even his food has to be bought on credit. Tell me, what do you want?
Look at what you have become now, you are so dark that I can't even see you when you stand in front of me."
Shen Xue: "..." She couldn't see herself because it was too dark.
Liu Pan asked Shen Xue a series of questions but she couldn't answer them for a while. She was a little angry, "Mom, why are you talking so much? Hurry up and give me money and food. Jing Chen and I don't have much food left.
He fainted today and I wanted to make her something delicious.”
"I am a country bumpkin who can barely support myself, so how can I have extra money and food to give you?
Men are powerful, go find a man, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, just go back."
Shen Xue came here to take money and food back, but now she got nothing and was scolded by her mother. Shen Xue was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to persuade Liu Pan to do it.
"Mom, I have something else to say..."
Liu Pandi interrupted her, "Go quickly, I won't care if the idiot comes out and throws you into the ditch."
Shen Xue was still quite afraid of Gu Jiandong. She looked into the yard and left reluctantly.
Uncle Shen was sitting in the yard. He heard the conversation between the two clearly. Afraid that Liu Pan would believe the lies of the rebellious girl, Uncle Shen beat her.
"You can't agree to anything Shen Xue asks you to give her. If I find out that you dare to steal food and money for her, you don't have to stay in this house anymore."
"I know, I know, you've said it a thousand times." Even if she wanted to take the food and money to give to Shen Xue, she couldn't. The money and the key to the food cabinet were in his hands. He hid them so well that she didn't even know where the money and the key to the food cabinet were at home.
She was unable to bring back the food she promised to bring to her parents' home last time.
Her mother even came over and scolded her several times.
Liu Pandi still wanted a son, so he took a bath without washing his clothes and dragged Uncle Shen back to the house.
Autumn harvest was really tiring. Uncle Shen would get sleepy as soon as he touched the kang, so he had no energy to bother with her.
"You move on your own, I'm going to sleep first."
Liu Pan Die: “…” She was tired too, and she also wanted to enjoy herself.
When Shen Xue returned home, Zhou Jingchen asked, "Why did you come back empty-handed? Where's the food? Where's the money?"
Shen Xue said listlessly, "My mother didn't give it to me."
"I knew your family didn't like you. Don't go there next time, or they will say I'm incompetent and can't support you."
Shen Xue sat next to Zhou Jingchen, and thinking of her mother's words, she said, "Jingchen, have you told your family about our marriage?"
What the hell is that? If his parents knew that he married a country girl, they would probably publish an announcement in the newspaper to disown him. How could he possibly tell his family about such an embarrassing thing?
Zhou Jingchen smiled as he thought, "Of course I did. I wrote a letter to my family the last time I went to the commune. I think they should have received the letter."
Shen Xue was happy in her heart, but she said nervously, "I don't know if your family likes me."
She still had to rely on Shen Xue to work and support herself in the countryside. Zhou Jingchen knew what she wanted to hear and coaxed her, "Silly girl, you are my wife, you are beautiful and capable, of course they will like you.
I told them that as soon as they found a connection, they would bring us back.
When you return to Kyoto, you don’t have to do anything. Just wear a new dress and leather shoes every day and go to the park and the department store. You can buy whatever you want. Don’t save. Our family is rich.
If you feel bored, I can ask my parents to find you a job, and then you can sit in the office and eat sunflower seeds every day."
The day he was talking about was beautiful just thinking about it. Shen Xue looked forward to it and asked, "Jingchen...can I still sit in the office?"
Zhou Jingchen adjusted the frame of his glasses and smiled, "Of course, you graduated from high school, your education is here, and my parents have connections, so it will be easy for me to arrange for you to work in the office."
The office is for cadres, and Jing Chen's parents are really capable to have arranged for her to work there.
She knew that choosing Jing Chen would give her a good life, and she did not choose the wrong person at all.
Shen Xue was coaxed into a daze by Zhou Jingchen, "Jingchen, then, then I'll have to trouble my parents to help arrange it."
"We are a family, so why should we say this? You are my wife, the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, and I should treat you well."
He suddenly sighed, "It's just that I have to inconvenience you now.
We got married in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything for you. You became a joke in the village, and my mother-in-law and father-in-law couldn't hold their heads up in the village. These are all my fault. I want to say sorry to you.
My parents are busy with work, and they have to squeeze out time for meals, so they don't have time to send us packages or money.
But don't worry, I will double your compensation after we return.
I will buy you three turns and one ring, and hold a banquet for you, so that you can be my wife, Zhou Jingchen..."
She covered Zhou Jingchen's mouth with her hand and said, "Jingchen, don't say that. I never felt wronged for marrying you.
I have never blamed you, and neither have my parents.
As long as I can be with you, I feel happy no matter how hard life is.
We don't need the three-turn and one-ring device now in the countryside, so it's okay to buy it later.
It's okay to hold the banquet when we get back. We don't have any relatives here anyway."
There was no betrothal gift, no wedding banquet, and they just found someone to build a small adobe house and started living with Zhou Jingchen. Being married was more tiring than not being married. To be honest, Shen Xue had complained and regretted it in her heart.
She was willing to ruin her reputation in order to get close to Zhou Jingchen because she was attracted by his appearance and family background. She thought that marrying him would help her soar to the sky.
If she couldn't live a good life after marrying Zhou Jingchen, Shen Xue would have turned around and ran away. But now, listening to the big promises Zhou Jingchen made, Shen Xue was full of it. For the sake of a good life in the future, this little bit of tiredness now was nothing.
The promise was made, and fearing that Shen Xue would come to her senses, Zhou Jingchen had to do something practical. He took out a dollar and a pound of meat coupons from his pocket.
"Xiaoxue, you've been exhausted these past few days. Take this money and buy some meat when you have time."
Shen Xue quickly put the money in her pocket and said softly, "We are both tired. I will go buy some meat after the autumn harvest and make braised pork."
