My Wife Is the Capitalist Heiress of the 1970s - Chapter 9

Zhou Wenshan was unaware of Zhao Xiuhua’s thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn’t have cared.

After all, the two had already broken off their engagement, so they could be said to have no relationship anymore. What he wanted to do was none of Zhao Xiuhua’s business!

After a while, when Zhou Wenshan looked at Chen Wan’s side again, all ten of them had already started planting rice seedlings!

After all, time waits for no one!

Chen Wan, swaying unsteadily, ignored all advice and went to work in the fields!

Zhou Wenshan frowned. It seemed this girl hadn’t taken his words to heart!

Zhou Wenshan felt a sudden pang of sympathy for Chen Wan, his sycophantic side kicking in.

He quickly patted his face gently. “Hey, wake up! You can’t be a simp!”

Liu Cuihua looked back at his strange behavior and thought to herself, “Oh no, has this waiter lost his mind?”

While working, Liu Cuihua focused more of her attention on Zhou Wenshan!

If you really are sick, you should get treatment as soon as possible.

As it was getting dark, they finally finished planting the rice seedlings on their side, and Chen Wan’s side was almost done as well, because Chen Wan and her group had been allocated less land!

Once the work was finished and the whistle blew to signal the end of the workday, the village scorekeeper came over to check if the work was nearly done, registered the results, and then everyone could go home!

Before leaving, Zhou Wenshan glanced at Chen Wan and noticed that her attention wasn’t on him, which made him feel a little disappointed.

“What are you looking at, waiter? Hurry up and go home!” Liu Cuihua’s loud voice rang out in his ear at just the right moment!

“Okay, Mom, you and Dad go back first, I’ll rest here for a while!”

Liu Cuihua was worried that he would cause trouble again here. “No, get out of here right now. You’re such a young man, why are you resting? Do you think this little bit of work will tire you out? You’re really getting more and more trouble!”

Zhou Wenshan had no choice but to slowly follow along!

Suddenly, Liu Cuihua kicked him from behind, “Hurry up, are you trying to crawl like a tortoise?”

Zhou Wenshan muttered, “You really are a busybody mom!”

“What are you muttering?”

“Oh, I didn’t say anything. I just said, Mom, you’re so wise and insightful!”

What does “wise and insightful” mean?

“…”

“Zhou Wenshan!”

He hadn’t walked for more than a few minutes when someone called his name!

Who is it?

As soon as Zhou Wenshan turned around, his brows furrowed!

It’s Zhao Xiuhua, the female lead who angered the original owner to death and caused him to transmigrate here!

Zhou Wenshan felt nothing for this woman, but his heart was racing, probably due to the original owner’s resentment.

Zhou Wenshan’s face immediately turned cold. “Zhao Xiuhua, what do you want?”

Liu Cuihua’s face also fell immediately. She pushed him and said, “Come on, let’s go home. They’re waiting for us to eat!”

Zhou Wenshan was both amused and exasperated. Wasn’t his mother blatantly lying?

His father, brother, and sister-in-law were not far ahead. Who was cooking at home?

However, he did not expose his mother’s lie, because he did not want to have too much contact with Zhao Xiuhua!

In today’s terms, calling her fickle and promiscuous wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

After all, she had already gotten together with that male educated youth before the engagement was broken off!

Otherwise, the original owner wouldn’t be so angry.

Even if you break off the engagement first, and then get together with that male educated youth.

In the eyes of people today, this is a truly shameful disgrace!

A hint of grievance flashed across Zhao Xiuhua’s face. In her opinion, so what if the two of them had broken off their engagement? Although they could not be husband and wife in the future, the friendship they had shared since childhood was still there!

Surely we shouldn’t become enemies overnight?

“Aunt Liu, I need to talk to Wenshan about something!” Zhao Xiuhua said, sounding aggrieved.

Liu Cuihua gave her a cold look. “What could you two possibly have to say right now?”

Zhao Xiuhua remained silent, looking at Zhou Wenshan with a wronged expression!

Zhou Wenshan almost laughed. Isn’t this the typical innocent-looking person from decades later?

He’s become a little interested now, wanting to know what tricks Zhao Xiuhua is up to!

“Mom, you go back first, I’ll be back in a bit!”

Liu Cuihua glanced at him and said, “You should know what you’re doing!”

“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I’ll be back in 5 minutes!”

After Liu Cuihua left, Zhou Wenshan lazily crossed his arms and glanced at Zhao Xiuhua sideways, “So, what do you want?”

Zhao Xiuhua felt a little uncomfortable with Zhou Wenshan’s attitude. How good Zhou Wenshan used to be to her!

Now that the engagement has been called off, Zhou Wenshan’s attitude seems to have changed completely!

Zhao Xiuhua gritted her teeth; now was not the time to dwell on this. “Wenshan, I saw you delivering food to that ‘black five categories’ person who was sent down to the countryside this afternoon while you were working!”

Zhou Wenshan chuckled. So that’s what it was about!

He replied coldly, “Oh, so what?”

Zhao Xiuhua said righteously, “Wenshan, what you’re doing is wrong. They are our class enemies. We must stand firm in our position, stay away from them, and let them do their labor reform properly. We must not let them corrupt us with their ideas!”

Zhou Wenshan suddenly became impatient; he had thought Zhao Xiuhua might say something!

“I saw they were starving and about to die, so I went to help them. If you think that means I’ve been corrupted, you can report me. I don’t have time to play games with you!”

After saying that, Zhou Wenshan turned to leave!

Zhao Xiuhua stomped her foot and shouted angrily, “Zhou Wenshan, how did you become like this? You weren’t like this before. You used to be so good to me, and you were never impatient with me. Don’t you think it’s because of that woman?”

It’s here, it’s here, this is the taste!

She’s a naive and unreasonable person who only applies double standards to herself and never considers whether her actions have hurt others!

Zhou Wenshan stopped and turned to look at Zhao Xiuhua with interest.

“Zhao Xiuhua, is this the only thing you can do to intimidate people? You say they are class enemies, so aren’t enemies human? Even on the battlefield, prisoners are treated well. They should be starved to death, and you just stand by and watch them die without helping them?”

As for that woman, you don’t even know who she is, yet you’re throwing mud at her. Is this what you call a firm stance? I think you’re not firm in your stance, but rather you can’t stand seeing others have a little bit of kindness in their hearts.

Go ahead and report me if you really want. I have a clear conscience and I’m not afraid of being investigated!

On the contrary, you were already flirting with other male educated youths and getting involved with them before the engagement was even broken off.

What kind of past relationship is this? What kind of relationship is there?!

I haven’t even called you shameless yet.

Don’t bring up past relationships anymore, it’s fucking boring!

After saying that, Zhou Wenshan left.

Zhao Xiuhua stood there, stunned for a long time.

Has Zhou Wenshan lost his mind? How dare he say such things to her?

Tears welled up in her eyes; how could Zhou Wenshan say such a thing to her?

Zhou Wenshan must be jealous because he saw her break off her engagement and get together with someone else.

But matters of the heart cannot be forced. Doesn’t he understand that?

After Zhao Xiuhua met Li Ming, a male educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, she realized that the feelings between her and Zhou Wenshan were not love!

There was no heart-fluttering feeling between them, and Zhou Wenshan was not romantic, nor would he recite poetry to her!

Li Ming can do all of these things, although he is not as tall as Zhou Wenshan and is not as good-looking as Zhou Wenshan!

But~

You left as quietly as you came…

I wave my hand, leaving not a trace behind.

He conquered her!

Zhao Xiuhua felt that this was the kind of love and romance she wanted!

If Zhou Wenshan knew, he would definitely shout that his defeat was well-deserved, as he had run into the disciple and grand-disciple of the grandmaster of scumbags!

However, a scumbag and a bitch are a good match, they’re a good pair!

After returning home, Liu Cuihua was still worried about Zhou Wenshan, fearing that he and Zhao Xiuhua might have some kind of conflict.

His eyes were fixed on the door.

After washing his hands, Zhou Yuanchao came out but didn’t see Zhou Wenshan. He asked, “Where’s Xiao Er? Where did he go? Why hasn’t he come back?”

Liu Cuihua felt a surge of irritation. “I ran into Zhao Xiuhua on the way here. She said she had something to discuss with Wenshan!”

Zhou Yuanchao’s face darkened. “What could she possibly want with our waiter? Don’t pay any attention to her from now on!”

Zhou Yuanchao and Liu Cuihua had a lot of opinions about Zhao Xiuhua, not because of the broken engagement. Although being rejected by someone was unpleasant, their family wasn’t the type to be shameless!

But if you want to be with someone else, you should break off the engagement first. If you get together with another man without breaking off the engagement, isn’t that the same as putting a green hat on their second son?

This is what they cannot accept: a green hat being unjustly placed on Xiao Er’s head, damaging his reputation and making it much harder for him to find a wife again!

Just as Zhou Yuanchao was telling Liu Cuihua to go out and call Zhou Wenshan back, Zhou Wenshan pushed the door open and came in!

Zhou Wenshan pushed open the courtyard gate and saw his father, Zhou Yuanchao, and mother, Liu Cuihua, staring at him with unfriendly expressions. He quickly raised his hands and said, “Dad, Mom, what’s wrong with you? Let me make this clear, I haven’t caused any trouble!”

He should have kept quiet, because once he did, Zhou Yuanchao became even angrier. “You didn’t cause any trouble? You dare to say you didn’t cause any trouble? Who told you to run around in the fields this afternoon?”

Zhou Wenshan said confidently, “Dad, I was going to save people, to show my spirit of helping others and risking my life. Besides, you didn’t stop me, did you?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuanchao’s expression softened somewhat, though a closer look revealed a hint of embarrassment!

“Ahem, be careful next time. You can’t get so close to them in front of others!”

Zhou Wenshan sensed the hidden meaning in his father’s words, so he tentatively asked, “So, it’s okay to get closer if we don’t do it in front of others?”

Zhou Yuanchao’s hand trembled, and he was furious and embarrassed. “What are you thinking? You can’t do it without someone!”

cut…

Zhou Wenshan glanced at Zhou Yuanchao with disdain, “Dad, what you just said was all nonsense!”

Zhou Yuanchao: “You think I can’t handle you, kid!”

After saying that, he looked down to find a stick!

Zhou Wenshan chuckled, dashed into the house, and closed the door!

My sister-in-law, Zhang Minghui, cooked dinner tonight!

There are five steamed buns made from two kinds of dough, one for each person!

Although it wasn’t considered anything special by Zhou Wenshan, it was still much tastier than cornbread made entirely of cornmeal!

The dishes weren’t just pickled radish strips anymore; they also stir-fried some cabbage!

Porridge, or corn porridge!

Yes, corn porridge is a must!

This is eaten at least twice a day.

After finishing his meal, Zhou Yuanchao called Zhou Wenshan outside. In the courtyard, he lit a pipe, and as the sparks flickered, Zhou Yuanchao slowly began to speak.

“Xiao Er, tell Dad the truth, is the woman you’ve taken a fancy to one of those capitalists who were sent down to the countryside?”
