Dinnerti.
Village Chief Xu didn’t see Xu Wenwan and asked curiously.
"Where’s Wen Wan!"
In the room.
Xu Wenwan: Waaaah!
Village Chief Xu: ...
He fell silent.
’No wonder his wife’s face was so grim when he got ho. Xu Wenwan must have provoked her again.’
Xu Chongshan and Xu Chongfeng were even quieter. Whatever affection they’d had for their younger sister had long since vanished after she repeatedly did things to hurt the family.
In the room.
She had only made that sound because she heard the voices outside.
’She’d thought her father would speak up for her, but it turned out none of them cared about her at all.’
Xu Wenwan couldn’t help but start crying.
System: ...
Although it was full and in a good mood, it couldn’t stand Xu Wenwan’s incessant crying.
’So annoying.’
The System tolerated it as long as it could, but now it had reached its limit.
"Electric shock."
"Don’t! I won’t cry..."
CRACKLE! A powerful electric current shot from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet. Xu Wenwan’s entire body instantly went rigid, twitching uncontrollably. Her face was zapped black, and her hair stood on end like she’d been in an explosion.
After a long mont, Xu Wenwan coughed up a puff of smoke and let out two weak coughs.
’It hurt so much. She wanted to cry so badly, waaaah!’
But the mory of the electric shock made Xu Wenwan clamp her hands over her mouth, not daring to let the smallest sob escape.
’Sure enough, the world was quiet again.’
After dinner, Chen Xiumin had her daughter-in-law clear the dishes, then pulled Village Chief Xu into their room.
Village Chief Xu was a bit confused.
’But his wife was in a bad mood. Whatever she was about to ask, he would just have to agree.’
Chen Xiumin got straight to the point.
"Go tell Yun Hao to co and propose marriage."
Village Chief Xu nodded.
He was halfway through the nod when sothing felt wrong. He snapped his head up to look at Chen Xiumin.
"What did you say? Have Yun Hao co and propose?"
Chen Xiumin sighed. "Do you have any idea what a foolish thing your daughter did today?"
"She went to seduce Leng Yuan, and several people saw her! They ca over specifically to tell about it today. Do you know how ashad I was? I didn’t know where to hide my face."
Thinking back on that mont, Chen Xiumin wished she could have just fainted on the spot.
She felt she could never show her face in public again.
Village Chief Xu’s expression darkened.
’No wonder Xu Wenwan was beaten so badly she couldn’t get out of bed. She deserved it.’
Worried, he picked up his pipe, grabbed a pinch of tobacco leaves, and placed them in the bowl, tamping them down with his finger. Then, he lit it using the kerosene lamp.
Taking a drag from his pipe, Village Chief Xu exhaled a puff of smoke and finally spoke.
"This is about our child’s entire life, after all. Isn’t it too fast to decide just like that?"
’In the end, their daughter had only been back for two months.’
But Chen Xiumin had already thought it through.
"I know what you’re thinking. You want to keep our daughter here for a while longer. After all, she just ca back and isn’t very close to us yet. But look at her reputation now—it’s completely ruined."
"I’ve thought about it carefully. That boy, Yun Hao, isn’t a bad choice. He’s an Educated Youth, but the good thing is Wen Wan knew him before, and they seem to get along well, always spending ti together."
"Yun Hao’s family background is good, too. His father is a factory director, and his mother is a section chief. They seem to like Wen Wan quite a bit as well. I think this is a good idea."
Before, they had wanted to grow closer to their daughter first, then help her find a good family to marry into.
To be honest, they weren’t very keen on having Xu Wenwan marry Yun Hao.
The two families might have been considered a good match before, but now Xu Wenwan is just an ordinary village girl. With a family background like Yun Hao’s, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t look down on Wen Wan.
But now, they couldn’t afford to be so picky. The two of them had to be together.
