My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 16

Zhou Yuanchao took out a match, lit a cigarette, and said, “With a hunting license, you can buy a gun from the hunting equipment dealers in the county town!”

Zhou Wenshan looked at the hunting license again and again. “Dad, can we buy two hunting rifles? One for you and one for me?”

Zhou Yuanchao reached out and took the hunting license. “What are you thinking? You think you can just buy this gun whenever you want? It’s registered with the police station!”

Zhou Wenshan was somewhat disappointed. “Alright then, I’ll get a hunting license too!”

Zhou Yuanchao pursed his lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing!

After finishing lunch, Zhou Wenshan went to Chen Wan’s house.

He wanted to arrange a time with Chen Wan to get their marriage certificate first!

This was the first time he and Chen Wan had met after they finalized their marriage.

This time, Zhou Wenshan felt something was different.

He felt a closer connection with Chen Wan, and as he walked outside the cowshed, he called out from the doorway, “Chen Wan!”

With a creak, the door opened…

Chen Wan came out, blushed slightly when she saw him, and asked, “Wenshan, what brings you here?”

Zhou Wenshan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, “I came here to discuss getting a marriage certificate with you!”

Just as Chen Wan was about to speak, the door next to her opened, and Chen Bowen and Zhang Shuya came out.

Zhou Wenshan quickly stepped forward to greet them, “Uncle, Aunt!”

He quickly took out a pack of cigarettes he had prepared, handed it to Chen Bowen, and then took out a match to light the cigarette for his future father-in-law!

Suddenly, Chen Wan’s brother, sister-in-law, nephew, and niece all came out.

Zhou Wenshan hurriedly pulled a handful of candy from his pocket and distributed it to the three children.

The three children had beaming smiles on their faces.

“Thank you, Uncle!”

“Thank you, Auntie…”

…

He then offered cigarettes to his two brothers-in-law, Chen Zhiguo and Chen Zhijun, saying, “Brother, have a smoke…”

It was the first time Zhou Wenshan had been surrounded by so many people, and he felt a little nervous!

Chen Bowen took a drag of his cigarette, his expression unreadable. “Wenshan, what brings you here this time?”

Zhou Wenshan explained the purpose of his visit: “Uncle, I’ve come to ask when Chen Wan can go with me to get our marriage certificate!”

Chen Bowen’s hand, which was holding a cigarette, involuntarily stiffened for a moment.

Zhang Shuya came over and said with a smile, “This is a matter for you two. You can discuss it and decide. Once you get your marriage certificate, you can live a good life together!”

Wenshan, her father and I only have this one daughter. She’s been spoiled since she was little. Her father and two older brothers have always doted on her. If she does anything wrong after she gets married, please don’t bully her. You can come and tell us, and we’ll help you discipline her!

After saying that, her eyes immediately reddened!

Zhang Shuya’s emotions affected Chen Wan, whose eyes also reddened. Chen Wan stepped forward and hugged Zhang Shuya, sobbing, “Mom…”

Zhou Wenshan felt a chill run down his spine. Why was he suddenly crying?

No wonder they say women are made of water, they can cry so easily!

It’s as if he’s some kind of wicked village bully who’s done all sorts of bad things!

Zhou Wenshan handed Chen Bowen another cigarette. After they finished the cigarette, Zhang Shuya and Chen Wan finally calmed down.

Zhang Shuya rubbed her eyes and said to Zhou Wenshan apologetically, “Wenshan, I’m so sorry, you must have found this amusing!”

Zhou Wenshan quickly waved his hand, “Auntie, what are you saying? You’re just worried that your daughter will suffer after marriage, which is only natural. But please rest assured, Uncle, I can’t guarantee anything else, but I definitely won’t bully Chen Wan or let her suffer any injustice. Our family doesn’t have a tradition of bullying women. If I bully Xiao Wan, my parents will beat me with a stick!”

After hearing Zhou Wenshan’s words, Chen Bowen and Zhang Shuya felt a little relieved!

Chen Bowen looked at Zhou Wenshan and Chen Wan and said, “Since the marriage is already arranged, you’ll have to get the marriage certificate sooner or later. You two should discuss it and find some time to get it!”

Zhou Wenshan was overjoyed, “Thank you, Uncle!”

Chen Bowen waved his hand and went back into the house. Zhang Shuya and the others followed him back into the house. Only Zhou Wenshan and Chen Wan were left outside the cowshed!

Zhou Wenshan scratched his head. “Chen Wan, shall we go for a walk?”

Chen Wan hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay, let’s go!”

The two walked one after the other along a small path in the village.

“I’m thinking of going to town tomorrow to get our marriage certificate. What do you think?” Zhou Wenshan said.

Chen Wan was taken aback. “So fast?”

“We’re going to get married sooner or later anyway, so let’s get the marriage certificate first. Once we have it, you’ll be a villager, and it’ll be easier for you to secretly help your family later!”

Zhou Wenshan gave her a reason she couldn’t refuse!

Chen Wan was silent for a long time, then said, “Come pick me up tomorrow!”

Zhou Wenshan laughed, “Okay!”

…

During dinner that evening, Zhou Wenshan brought up the matter, “Dad, Mom, Chen Wan and I are going to town tomorrow to get our marriage certificate!”

Zhou Yuanchao had expected this, “Alright, let’s go then!”

Zhou Wenshan said, “Give me some money. I need to buy some things after we get our marriage certificate in town tomorrow!”

Zhou Yuanchao nodded, “Cuihua, give him 10 yuan and some more tickets!”

“Okay, I’ll go get it for him right away!” Liu Cuihua readily agreed. Her son was getting married, and she certainly wouldn’t cause any trouble at this crucial moment. Her husband was taking care of everything; she just needed to do the logistical work. She would provide money or help if needed!

She’s not like those wicked mothers-in-law from other families!

Liu Cuihua came out a moment later, stuffed the money and tickets she had taken out into Zhou Wenshan’s hand, and said, “I’ve given you the money and tickets. Tomorrow when you go to town, spend what you need to spend, and don’t spend what you don’t need to spend. Keep that in mind!”

Zhou Wenshan looked at the money in his hand and said gratefully, “Thank you, Dad! Thank you, Mom!”

Before Zhou Yuanchao could speak, Liu Cuihua waved her hand, “What are you thanking me for? We’re all family, it’s awkward to keep thanking each other like this!”

…

The next day, after breakfast, Zhou Wenshan picked out a relatively nice set of clothes, rode the borrowed bicycle, and headed towards Chen Wan’s house!

“Uncle, Aunt, I’ve come to take Chen Wan to get our marriage certificate!”

“They’re here! They’re here!”

Before Chen Bowen and Zhang Shuya could speak, Chen Wan came out of the house.

After talking with Zhou Wenshan yesterday, Chen Wan suddenly felt enlightened and no longer resisted the marriage.

Because of this marriage, it’s clear that her family got the better deal.

With the Zhou family as their relative, I doubt anyone in the village will dare to bully them anymore!

After figuring it out, I felt much more relaxed and slept well that night!

After Chen Wan came out, she saw Zhou Wenshan and smiled at him, making her already pretty face even more attractive.

Zhou Wenshan was stunned for a moment!

“Dad, Mom, I’m going to town with Wenshan to get our marriage certificate. You two just wait at home!”

After saying that, he sat on the back of Zhou Wenshan’s bicycle. “Let’s go!”

“Okay, Uncle, Aunt, let’s go!”

“Okay, be careful on the road!”

Zhou Wenshan felt full of energy today, as if he had inexhaustible strength. He could ride his bicycle with one person on the back with ease!
