My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 19

Zhou Yuanchao said with emotion, “Cuihua, time really flies. Our two children are already married and have their own families. We’re getting old!”

Liu Cuihua gently leaned closer to Zhou Yuanchao and tugged at his hand. “Brother Yuanchao, you’re not old at all!”

Zhou Yuanchao smiled, reached out and touched Liu Cuihua’s head, just like comforting the little girl who cried from hunger back then!

——–

Zhao Xiuhua ran home sadly. When her mother, Chen Juan, saw her, she asked, “Xiuhua, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Why are you crying?”

Zhao Xiuhua sobbed and told Chen Juan that Zhou Wenshan was ignoring her. Chen Juan’s face darkened, and she pointed at Zhao Xiuhua’s head and scolded her.

“Why are you still looking for Zhou Wenshan? Who was it that cried and begged to break off the engagement with Zhou Wenshan? Because of your engagement, Sister Liu hardly talks to me anymore, and Zhou Wenshan’s father quit his job as the militia captain. Don’t you know that?”

Why are you still trying to get close to them? It’s understandable that they’re ignoring you; they’re being kind by not beating you up. Aren’t you dating that Li Ming? Go ahead and go for it! I’ll see if you regret it later! You’re such a drama queen!

After Zhao Xiuhua returned home, her mother Chen Juan scolded her, which made her already bad mood even worse, and she burst into tears.

She didn’t understand; all she wanted was to pursue her love, so why had everything changed?

——

In the afternoon, Zhou Yuanchao bought meat and vegetables.

The meat and vegetables were divided into two portions, with half being sent to Chen Bowen’s family!

I’ll keep half for myself to eat tonight!

Since it wasn’t convenient for the two families to eat together, Zhou Yuanchao bought several packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine and delivered them over. “In-laws, although the two families can’t get together for a meal and drinks today, we can’t skimp on the gifts. I’ve bought the cigarettes and wine, they’re not anything fancy, please don’t mind. We can get together again another time when there’s a chance!”

After Zhou Yuanchao left, Chen Bowen said to Zhang Shuya, “Wan’er’s father-in-law seems quite reasonable. Wan’er should have a good life after marrying into his family!”

Zhang Shuya nodded. “He seems like a reasonable person. I hope his family is always this easy to get along with!”

After saying that, she turned and went into the house, instructing, “Wan’er, you’ve already made preparations. Zhou Wenshan might be taking you away later tonight! After you marry him, live a good life with Wenshan. Try not to come here too often, so as not to cause any bad influence!”

Chen Wan hugged Zhang Shuya tightly, crying, “Mom~~”

Zhang Shuya also suppressed her reluctance, “Wan’er, why are you crying? Today is your wedding day, you can’t cry!”

Not long after, Zhou Wenshan arrived to take Chen Wan back for dinner!

Today is considered the day the new bride enters the family. Although their family doesn’t have many customs, and now is not the time to be particular, it’s still better to get there as soon as possible!

As soon as Zhou Wenshan arrived outside the cowshed, the three children saw him and happily surrounded him, calling him “Uncle, Uncle.”

He also loves his three nephews and nieces; they are sensible and adorable!

“Is the candy your uncle bought delicious?”

“It’s delicious, thank you, Uncle!”

“It’s delicious, but Grandma only lets me have one a day. Uncle, could you talk to Grandma and let me have two a day?”

Zhou Wenshan’s expression froze; he dared not say anything about it!

“Grandma won’t let you have two candies because if you do, you’ll get cavities, which means worms will bite your teeth and they’ll fall out. Then you won’t be able to eat anything delicious anymore, understand?”

After hearing Zhou Wenshan’s words, the three children believed him and quickly covered their mouths, nodding their heads vigorously. “I understand! From now on, we’ll only eat one candy a day. I don’t want cavities to eat my teeth!”

Zhou Wenshan was immediately amused by the children’s adorable words and phrases!

I chatted with Chen Bowen, Chen Zhijun and Chen Zhiguo for a while, and when I saw that it was almost time, I said goodbye to them!

Zhang Shuya pulled Chen Wan out of the house and placed Chen Wan’s hand in Zhou Wenshan’s hand. “Wenshan, Chen Wan is now in your care. You two must live a good life together!”

Zhou Wenshan readily agreed, “Don’t worry, Auntie, I will definitely treat Chen Wan well from now on and I will never let her suffer any injustice!”

Zhang Shuya glared at him reproachfully, “You still call me ‘Auntie’?”

Zhou Wenshan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “Mom!”

Zhang Shuya smiled and agreed, “Oh, good girl!”

Then, she said awkwardly, “Mom doesn’t have any money on her right now, so I’ll have to make up for it with this red envelope later!”

Zhou Wenshan quickly shook his head, “Mom, the red envelope isn’t important, it’s just a formality. The fact that you’re willing to entrust Chen Wan to me is more important than anything else!”

He called out to Chen Bowen again, “Dad!”

Chen Bowen’s voice trembled as he replied, “Yes!”

After agreeing, she took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and offered him one!

This cigarette was offered by his father-in-law, and Zhou Wenshan, who didn’t usually smoke, accepted it with both hands, saying, “Thank you, Dad!”

Then he took Chen Wan home!

No wedding, no proposal, just that simple and unpretentious!

From this day forward, Zhou Wenshan has his own wife, Chen Wan!

They truly became a family!

Watching Zhou Wenshan and Chen Wan walk away, Chen Bowen finally managed a smile after a long while. “Shuya, let’s start cooking too. Let’s make something delicious to celebrate our daughter’s wedding today. Our in-laws even brought two bottles of wine. Let’s have a good drink with Zhijun and Zhiguo tonight!”

…

Chen Wan followed Zhou Wenshan for about 10 minutes until they arrived at Zhou Wenshan’s house. The closer they got to his house, the more nervous Chen Wan became, until she could no longer take another step!

She was carrying a small bundle containing some of her spare clothes.

As Zhou Wenshan walked, he suddenly realized that Chen Wan hadn’t followed. He turned around and saw Chen Wan standing on the road behind him with her head down!

Amused, I walked back and asked, “Why did you stop?”

Chen Wan said softly, “I…I’m a little nervous!”

Zhou Wenshan chuckled. “What’s there to be nervous about? My parents aren’t going to eat you! Come on, you’ll see in a few days. My parents are actually very nice people! So don’t be nervous!”

After saying that, he grabbed Chen Wan’s wrist and headed home!

He pulled Chen Wan along, and she could only stagger over!

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Wenshan called out, “Dad, Mom, I’ve brought Chen Wan here!”
