Chapter 19 I’ll Miss You

The sun set in the west.

From the dilapidated temple on the back mountain, faint, light and heavy, came the panting of a young woman.

Even a distant listen could make one blush.

“Meimei, why are you so absent-minded? What happened? I’ll stand up for you.”

Wang Qiang, naked, sweat dripping from his chest, panted and held the woman under him in his arms.

He looked very gentle and caring.

“It’s all that Ruan Xiaotang’s fault.”

Ruan Xiaomei, also naked, was clearly restless, her eyes not even looking at the man above her.

She lay limply in the man’s strong arms, idly playing with a strand of black hair.

She seemed to be concentrating on something.

Her expression became tender and her eyes sparkled.

At this moment, her mind was filled with that tall, handsome man.

Only such an excellent man was worthy of her.

Was Ruan Xiaotang worthy?

The man she liked, she had to get him.

This man before her was easily captivated by her beauty, falling at her feet.

She played him like a puppet.

Men like women, don’t they just want that?

Thinking of the man’s passionate embrace…

Her heart fluttered.

“What did Ruan Xiaotang do to you again? You said that as long as I dumped her, you’d be with me, and I did as you said. She’s now the biggest laughingstock in our village, aren’t you satisfied?”

“No, I’m not satisfied. Just now, that bitch, I don’t know where she found a wild man, actually drove a car to send her home. I’ve never ridden in a car in my life, isn’t that annoying!”

“A car? She must be very rich.”

“What the hell are you talking about? Why did I find you! If you had her ability, you’d drive a car back and take me around the whole village to show off.”

Faced with her unreasonable demands, Wang Qiang was a little troubled.

Cars, in this era, were not something anyone could drive.

His ancestors for three generations were poor and lower-middle peasants. A car was something his family couldn’t even dream of in this lifetime.

“I don’t have that ability, but I have endless strength. When it comes to farming in our village, I’m second to none. I will definitely give you a good life.”

Wang Qiang patted his chest and promised.

Ruan Xiaomei looked at the man she had carefully chosen with extreme displeasure.

How pleasing he was at the beginning, now how annoying he was.

He was as clumsy as an ox, and his words and actions were crude and uncouth.

He was uneducated and uncultivated.

All he had was sweat, and more sweat. Spending a lifetime with such a person, it was really humiliating.

Wang Qiang clearly noticed her coldness towards him today.

She was also uncooperative during their intimacy, showing indifference.

He didn’t understand. He hadn’t done anything, so why had she changed so much overnight?

It seemed that the problem still stemmed from Ruan Xiaotang.

This bitch, she was really a persistent ghost.

A cooked duck, it couldn’t fly away.

“Meimei, tell me, how do you want to deal with that little bitch? I’ll do whatever you say.”

“Really?”

After all this time, only this sentence was still human.

A grace.

She raised her eyes and glanced at him.

With great contempt.

“I’m yours in life, and yours in death. As long as you marry me and bear me a son, I’ll give you my heart.”

“Puh phuh phuh！It’s dark, you want to scare me to death.”

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here, Meimei, I’ve fulfilled one of your conditions, shouldn’t you…”

“You lecher, your mind is always full of dirty thoughts.”

……………………………………………………

It was only a little past five o’clock after dinner, and it was just getting dark.

Seeing that Zhou Xingze wasn’t in a hurry to leave.

Liu Guifang boiled a pot of hot water and poured it into a thermos.

She borrowed a small bag of tea leaves from a neighbor and poured it all into the teapot, filling it with hot water.

“Xiao Zhou, sit there and have some tea.”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Liu Guifang sat on the other end of the kang, pondering for a long time before slowly asking, “Where do you live? How many people are in your family?”

“Mom, it’s his first time here, don’t make it so awkward for both of you.”

As soon as the tea was brewed, Ruan Xiaotang knew that the family background check was about to begin.

She felt embarrassed, let alone Zhou Xingze, who was a stranger in a strange land for the first time.

Sure enough, mothers of every era were equally concerned about their daughters’ marriage.

They would dig three feet into the ground to find out the family background of their future son-in-law.

“Xiaotang, don’t worry, Auntie is doing this for your own good.”

“Auntie, my family lives in Maozi Hutong, Chengnan(Southern Part) District, Beijing. My father passed away early, and my mother raised us four siblings.”

Liu Guifang nodded in satisfaction.

Many brothers, not bullied outside.

Many brothers and sisters, serving the old family, taking turns is also good.

“How old are you? Where do you work? What kind of work do you do?”

This was like a census.

Ruan Xiaotang, sitting on the stool on the ground, couldn’t stand it anymore and got up angrily and walked out.

“Don’t mind her.”

Zhou Xingze was about to bow and chase after her.

But he was stopped by his future mother-in-law.

He retracted his raised shoe.

He sat quietly in place, waiting for questioning.

He dared not show the slightest rejection.

“Auntie, I’m 28 years old, much older than Xiaotang.”

8 years older, not much.

Older men, love their wives.

“I currently serve in the Beijing Military Region, xxxxx as regiment commander.”

Soldiers have stable income, it’s an iron rice bowl.

So young and already a regiment commander, it seems he will be promoted in the future.

If Xiaotang marries him, she will be blessed for life.

“Drink tea. We’re just chatting, don’t take it to heart.”

“Good, good.”

He was done being questioned.

From the tone, his answers and himself should have passed the test.

Zhou Xingze picked up the white porcelain teacup and took a sip.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Being questioned by his future mother-in-law face-to-face was really hard to handle.

When Lao Zhao first met his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, he complained endlessly to them in the dormitory.

At that time, he still laughed at him.

Cowardly and incompetent.

Now, in comparison.

He wasn’t much better.

……………………………………………………

“Drive slowly on the road, be careful!”

“Xiao Zhou, come again if you have time.”

“Brother-in-law, next time you have to bring me that tank model, don’t forget it.”

Zhou Xingze turned on the ignition, the car humming.

He waved to Ruan Xiaotang.

He said softly, “Xiaotang, I’ll miss you.”
