The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man Chapter 138 - 134: Wu Juhua’s Deranged Home Visit
The visitor was Li Xiaohua, considered a distant relative of Mrs. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao and Li Xiaohua’s husband are cousins. On this trip to the Northwest, all the livestock at ho were looked after by Li Xiaohua.
"Oh dear, you’ve helped so much; you should keep the eggs for yourself to eat."
"That won’t do," Li Xiaohua refused. "I haven’t done much, just fed so chickens. The Red Army doesn’t need for anything; he can hunt on the mountain to fill his own stomach."
Then, Li Xiaohua asked eagerly, "Sister-in-law, when will the Red Army have puppies? Could we get one for our family when that happens?"
This was easy to agree to, "Sure, but the Red Army is a male dog. When he’s mingling with so random female dog, we can’t keep track."
Li Xiaohua was excited, "No problem, Auntie, I know."
She would keep an eye out herself; she just hoped to get one at that ti.
Li Xiaohua insisted on leaving the eggs behind. Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to take half, leaving the rest for Li Xiaohua to take away.
With Li Xiaohua’s interruption, the Xiao Family’s mood improved considerably.
As long as Xiao Chendong didn’t loiter around here anymore, whether he lived or died was of no concern to the family.
"Alright, Mom, don’t be angry anymore."
Xiao Chenxing cald down and turned to comfort Mrs. Xiao, "Going forward, cut ties. He won’t bother us anymore."
Wen Ran thought Xiao Chenxing was a bit too optimistic, but it wasn’t the ti to say anything.
She would speak to Xiao Chenxing in private later.
...
Bao Wenxuan finally returned from her visit, carrying a lot of things, and brought a wool scarf for Wen Ran and her sister.
"It’s cashre yarn that my mom bought and knitted herself. Try it on quickly, you two."
"Alright!"
The scarf was indeed warm and felt comfortable.
Bao Wenxuan seed much better after the trip ho.
Chattering like a little sparrow, she saw the study supplies piled on the kang and was surprised, "Are you going to study?"
"Yes," Hongguo’s cheeks were flushed. "Sister said that learning letters opens up endless possibilities for the future."
"Exactly!" Bao Wenxuan absolutely agreed, "Studying, once you learn it, stays with you for a lifeti."
Knowledge in soone’s head is theirs; no one can take it away.
The sun was shining outside, with little wind, so the three of them sat under the eaves chatting, quite happily.
The door knocked.
Not just Wen Ran, even Bao Wenxuan was almost developing PTSD from the sound of the knock.
"Oh my gosh, who is it?"
"No idea."
Even Wen Ran was puzzled, but Hongguo cheerfully went to answer it, "Sister, I’ll go check."
When the door opened, Hongguo looked at the unfamiliar old woman outside, puzzled, "Who are you looking for?"
"I’m looking for Wen Ran, the educated youth. Is she ho?"
The old woman had a smile on her face, but Hongguo instinctively didn’t like her.
Kids who grew up in the forest are always sharp about a person’s good or evil.
"Sister," she blocked the door, not letting the old woman in, "looking for you."
The old woman looked Hongguo up and down, after that scrutiny, she pursed her lips.
She had a decent figure and looks, but lacked ability; if paired with her son, her son would be grudgingly matched.
However, if Wen Ran could be brought together, then this young girl before her would in essence also be brought in.
This could work.
Sisters getting married into the family, it would be easy to manage them however she wanted later.
"Oh, co, let the person co over here too."
Wen Ran stood up, looking at the unfamiliar old lady before her, "And you are?"
"Oh," the old lady squeezed out a warm smile on her face, "I’m Wu Juhua, you probably haven’t heard of before."
Indeed, she hadn’t.
"What’s the matter?"
"I’m here just to ask if you have a boyfriend?"
Wen Ran: "???"
The question was sowhat abrupt.
The smile on her face gradually faded.
She frowned, "What do you want?"
"Oh, look at you, young girl, we haven’t even started chatting and you’re like this," Wu Juhua assud an elder’s stance and began to teach, "not polite at all."
Under the bewildered gazes of the three, Wu Juhua rambled on with her lecture, "Considering you’re young, with no one to take charge, this ti, I won’t hold it against you.
Next ti, when you encounter elders like , speak respectfully, or else people will say behind your back that you’re rude."
Even when ignored, she continued speaking to herself, "Previously, whether educated youths were unsupervised was fine, but if you’re marrying my son, you must follow proper conduct."
"Stop stop stop!"
Wen Ran felt her head hurt; in the morning she had been sympathetic about the Xiao Family having a foolish son, and now she was encountering one herself.
"Who’s your son?"
"My son is an outstanding figure, if not for you having talent and looks, we wouldn’t even consider you.
After all, it’s known that educated youths can’t be trusted. Their ambitions are sky-high, while their lives are paper-thin."
Wu Juhua seed to not quite understand human speech, answering irrelevantly and liking to self-question and self-answer.
"But, your hips are a bit small, so it’s worrying for future childbirth.
But it’s okay, as long as you co into the family and are obedient, having more daughters is also fine."
Wu Juhua was rather shrewd.
It’s vital to have a son carry on the family na.
Daughters are loss-makers, but Wen Ran possesses skills, so as long as the daughters grow up well, with her appearance, even if they end up daughters, they wouldn’t be unattractive.
When the daughters grow up, they could still be married off and earn substantial dowry.
Oh dear, just the thought made Wu Juhua grin widely.
Wen Ran felt Wu Juhua was past normal communication; after a thought, she stepped forward and delivered two solid slaps.
The crisp and clear slaps imdiately made Hongguo and Bao Wenxuan feel satisfied.
Oh my!
What a feeling!
Wonderful~
Wu Juhua was stunned, touching her burning face, still dazed, "Why did you hit ?"
"Is your brain clear now?"
Wu Juhua stayed silent, only looking at Wen Ran in uncertainty.
Wen Ran smiled, "Looks like your brain is clear now. Before I get angry, quickly get out, else..."
Wu Juhua was frightened two steps back by Wen Ran, embarrassed and angry, "What’s wrong with you? Are you sensitive to complints?
I barely praised you a few tis and you pull this face on . Don’t think that just because I fancy you now, marrying into our family is a done deal.
I’m telling you, if you’re disobedient, I can kick you out anyti!"
Her way of shouting...
Was reminiscent of a Chihuahua.
Wen Ran was distracted until Hongguo ca rushing in with a broom.
"If you don’t appreciate the gesture, let hear any more nonsense and I’ll beat you!"
