My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 22
Chen Wan felt another wave of annoyance; she had overslept again today!
Is that really how comfortable it is?
How come she didn’t feel anything? She only felt pain.
Zhou Wenshan wasn’t angry or hurt at all when Chen Wan slapped him on the butt!
He realized he was wrong today, so he didn’t argue and quickly got up!
I got dressed, brushed my teeth, and washed my face in just three to five minutes!
Only after everything was done did I open the door!
Zhou Yuanchao, Liu Cuihua, and Zhou Wenhai and his wife are all in the yard!
They didn’t go out today!
When I saw them come out, I wanted to laugh, but I held it in!
Chen Wan sighed inwardly; her image was completely ruined.
Liu Cuihua smiled and didn’t say anything. “Wenshan, hurry up and take Xiaowan to eat breakfast. You’ll be going back to your parents’ home with Xiaowan later!”
When Liu Cuihua spoke, she emphasized the word “breakfast,” and Chen Wan immediately noticed it, blushing and lowering her head!
It’s almost 10 o’clock now, and we still need to eat breakfast. After breakfast, we can go straight to lunch!
Chen Wan was a little shy, but Zhou Wenshan wasn’t.
He laughed and pulled Chen Wan into the kitchen, “Mom and Dad, let’s eat first!”
In the kitchen, both of them had served themselves rice. Chen Wan sat on a stool, muttering softly, “It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault…”
Zhou Wenshan handed her a steamed bun and said with a smile, “It’s all my fault, hurry up and eat!”
Chen Wan took the steamed bun and took a big bite, as if the steamed bun was Zhou Wenshan himself.
…
After finishing their meal, the two of them washed the dishes and scrubbed the pot together.
Before being sent to the countryside, Chen Wan had never done anything like washing dishes or scrubbing pots before, but in the month or so since she was sent there, she has done a lot of this work and has become quite skilled at it!
After everything was tidied up, Chen Wan and Zhou Wenshan came out together. Liu Cuihua waved to them and called them back into the house!
On the table by the door in the main room were two packages containing things that Liu Cuihua had prepared for them to take back to their parents’ home.
Cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, pastries, two finished outfits, and two pounds of pork belly!
Everything is ready!
Liu Cuihua pointed to the items on the table and said, “Xiao Wan, do you think this is enough? If not, tell Wenshan and ask him to buy some more for you!”
Chen Wan said gratefully, “Mom, that’s enough, this is enough!”
Liu Cuihua smiled and said, “Okay, if you don’t have enough, just go to your family and ask them to buy it for you!”
After saying that, he walked out, leaving Zhou Wenshan and Chen Wan in the room.
Looking at the things on the table, it’s pretty much done!
Zhou Wenshan still asked, “Wife, do you think we need anything else to add?”
Chen Wan shook her head, “That’s already enough. The dowry money we received a couple of days ago has already helped my family a lot!”
Zhou Wenshan didn’t ask any more questions; there was still plenty of time ahead!
I woke up late today, not much earlier than yesterday, and it’s almost time to head back to my parents’ home!
They picked up the two packages, one on each of their backs, and Zhou Wenshan also carried the piece of pork belly. The two of them then went out carrying their things.
I’ll probably have lunch at the cowshed where the Chen family lives today.
So when he left, Zhou Wenshan told Liu Cuihua not to cook lunch for the two of them.
Zhou Wenshan led Chen Wan toward the cowshed where the Chen family lived.
They ran into someone on the road, who was Liu Neng, someone they were quite familiar with.
Zhou Wenshan stopped to greet him, “Uncle Liu, what are you busy with?”
Liu Neng looked at him and Chen Wan with a puzzled expression, “I was just taking a stroll, what are you doing here?”
Zhou Wenshan pointed at Chen Wan and said, “Uncle Liu, I got married a couple of days ago, and my wife and I are going back to our parents’ home today. Uncle Liu, we’ll be going now! Come visit us at my house later!”
After saying that, he pulled Chen Wan away.
Liu Neng stood there, completely bewildered. “When did Zhou Xiaoer get married? How come I didn’t know? Didn’t he just break off the engagement? No, I have to go ask Brother Yuanchao!”
After saying that, he went to find Zhou Yuanchao.
Regarding the matter of getting married, Zhou Wenshan and his family did not deliberately publicize it, but they did not keep it a secret either. At most, they did not hold a banquet when they got married.
Because of Chen Wan’s family background, even if a banquet is held, probably very few people will dare to come!
So Liu Neng is still unaware that Zhou Wenshan is already married!
Zhou Wenshan brought Chen Wan to the Chen family’s cowshed. Chen Bowen and Zhang Shuya were already prepared, knowing that it was their daughter’s homecoming day, so they had been looking forward to it since early morning.
They all wondered if their daughter was doing well after getting married, and this was on their minds these past few days!
“They’re here, Dad, Mom, Wenshan and Xiaowan are here!”
Chen Zhijun watched from afar as two people walked towards them. Upon closer inspection, he recognized them as Zhou Wenshan and Chen Wan. He immediately informed his parents.
The three little ones hadn’t seen their aunt for almost three days, and they were starting to miss her!
Upon hearing that Chen Wan had returned, she immediately ran out, calling out “Auntie, Auntie!” repeatedly.
When Chen Wan saw her three nephews and nieces, her heart softened instantly. She took off the bundle she was carrying and handed it to Zhou Wenshan. She knelt down to hug one of them and kiss the other.
After a while, she stood up, took their little hands, and walked towards the cowshed. She could already see her parents standing in front of the cowshed waiting for her!
Chen Bowen and Zhang Shuya watched as Chen Wan and Zhou Wenshan drew closer and closer.
Seeing that Chen Wan looked much better than when she was living in the cowshed,
I feel much more at ease now. No matter how much they considered beforehand, nothing beats seeing things clearly after actually living together!
Seeing that Chen Wan’s complexion was rosy and her eyes were less troubled than before, Zhang Shuya finally felt relieved. It seemed that Xiao Wan was doing quite well with Zhou Wenshan after marrying into the family!
She felt even more enthusiastic towards Zhou Wenshan. “Come, Wenshan, come inside and have a seat!”
Chen Zhijun and Chen Zhiguo were also there, accompanying Zhou Wenshan as they walked inside.
Today, Zhou Wenshan is considered a new son-in-law visiting, so they need to treat him well.
Chen Wan was pulled away to another room by Zhang Shuya to have a private chat, and she was bound to be questioned about her life at Zhou Wenshan’s house these past two days!
However, Zhou Wenshan is not bad either. He is tall and handsome. Given their family’s current situation, Chen Wan is marrying up now. As for the future, who can say for sure!
We sat down and chatted for a while, just random chatter. Chen Bowen used to talk about those things all the time, but now he doesn’t talk about them at all. It’s all about family matters!
A short while later, Zhang Shuya brought out the dishes with a smile: braised pork and a stewed chicken, which they had bought earlier that day!
As for her and Chen Wan, they ate in another room, where food was reserved separately for them!
With four or five dishes on the table, they really went all out. If it weren’t for the new son-in-law’s visit, they definitely wouldn’t have been willing to eat like this!
He took out a bottle of wine and opened it; the wine was the same one Zhou Yuanchao had brought over last time.
Each of the four rice bowls was filled with about half a bowl of wine.
Zhou Wenshan picked up the bowl and said, “Thank you, Dad. Thank you, both of you brothers. I hope our lives will get better and better from now on!”
Chen Bowen and the other two picked up their bowls, their expressions complicated. “Bottoms up!”
…
When Zhou Wenshan returned home after dinner, he was already slightly drunk.
Now Chen Wan’s family has truly accepted him and recognized him as their son-in-law.
