Chapter 25

Military district compound.

“Alas, my mood is as depressing as the weather.” The middle-aged man sitting on the sofaHe sighed dejectedly, and seeing his son’s lack of reaction from the corner of his eye, he simply asked, “When will you bring my daughter-in-law home to me?”

“Almost.”

Zhou Yichuan said this without changing his expression, drank the last mouthful of porridge, stood up and was about to leave.

Hearing this, Lin Shumei immediately sensed something was wrong. “Soon?” Her son never answered in the past.

“Do you have a crush on someone? Have you got her? Tell me quickly and find out who she is. I’ll give you some advice!”

Lin Shumei said excitedly.

“You know him.”

Zhou Yichuan replied vaguely, ignoring Lin Shumei’s other words, “I’m going to the military area and won’t be back for lunch.”

After saying that, Zhou Yichuan stepped to the door, and suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and said, “You’d better go back as soon as possible, so that my father won’t be alone in the empty room!”

“What’s the big deal about him staying alone? Your marriage is the most important thing!” Lin Shumei waved her hand nonchalantly, curling her lips. “If you’ve set your sights on a girl, act fast! Otherwise, someone will snatch her away. You should understand that the longer you wait, the more dreams you’ll have.”

“I almost got snatched away by someone this time…” Zhou Yichuan’s eyes darkened, but fortunately she broke off the engagement!

“One family’s daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. With your low emotional intelligence, when will you be able to bring my daughter-in-law home to me? First, tell me whose daughter she is, and I’ll help you!”

“No need, I already have a plan.” Zhou Yichuan thought thoughtfully. Love should naturally take its course. If the little woman doesn’t want to get married, the Xu family will not force her to marry. The idea of getting married first and falling in love later is useless. Of course, the first thing to do now is to capture her heart.

Lin Shumei was secretly looking forward to it, wondering which cabbage her son would take a fancy to!

It seems that the family can get ready as soon as possible~

I want to be a mother-in-law this year and a grandmother next year!

…

Department store.

The store is being renovated, and Xu Zhihuan came to supervise the work so that any problems can be communicated in a timely manner.

The customized store nameplate was completed two days ago. “Xu Xu Chun Feng” sounds very fashionable and trendy. Choosing a good name is crucial. This is the store name that Xu Zhihuan had thought about for a long time.

“Comrade Xu, do you think it’s appropriate to nail the shelf here?”

The worker asked Xu Zhihuan for his opinion.

Xu Zhihuan nodded quickly and said, “Yes, this is a good place. The lights in the store must be on.”

“Yours is already the brightest. The lights in other shops are not as bright as yours.” The master smiled. “Aren’t you worried about the electricity bill?”

“No worries.” How could a tiny bit of electricity be wasted? If customers can’t even afford the electricity bills when they come to buy clothes, the clothing store might as well just close down! That way, it’ll save even more electricity.

“Please, masters, please work faster. I’m anxious to open the business.” Xu Zhihuan joked, “The rent here is really expensive!”

“No problem, the work in your store can basically be completed in two days, and it will definitely not delay your opening.”

“Thank you, everyone.”

Xu Zhihuan was particularly happy as he watched his small shop slowly take shape.

“Xu Zhihuan? Why is it you again?”

A familiar voice sounded, and Xu Zhihuan looked at the person impatiently.

Yuan Qinglian was holding the clothes she had just bought, and the honest man following her was the same one she had seen last time.

Xu Zhihuan’s eyes flashed. In her previous life, Yuan Qinglian married her college classmate. They were a perfect match. The Yuan family was of average condition, and so was the man. Both of them had education and formal jobs, and they lived a decent life in the city.

This guy doesn’t look very smart at first glance, and there is no way he is the type that Yuan Qinglian would like.

Last time I ran into them shopping for clothes, and I ran into them again this time. It’s obvious that they are in a relationship?

“Wife, let’s go home early. Mother is waiting for us to come home for dinner.”

The man said dully.

Yuan Qinglian glanced at him coldly, warning him to “Shut up!”

The man didn’t get angry when being scolded, but just kept his mouth shut.

Xu Zhihuan was even more certain that this man had a mental problem.

Yuan Qinglian got married? And she married a man with a mental disorder?

Ha! Yuan Qinglian prides herself on being noble and aloof, and in this respect, she is exactly like her brother Yuan Qingan. How could she agree to marry such a man?

Xu Zhihuan’s playful eyes hurt Yuan Qinglian. If it weren’t for Xu Zhihuan, she would still be in college with a bright future and would never have been tricked by her family into coming back to get married.

Yuan Qinglian clenched her fists and angrily said, “What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I’ll dig your eyes out.”

“Oh, this is a society ruled by law. You dare to dig out my eyes in broad daylight. How dare you!”

Xu Zhihuan crossed his arms and curled his lips in disdain, “I’m standing right here, come over and dig out my eyes if you can!

But I warn you, if you dare to touch me, believe it or not, I will send you to the police station immediately and let you receive a good education there.

I think all the knowledge you learned has really gone to waste. Oh, no, the university hasn’t had its holidays yet, right? Why aren’t you going to school? “

Xu Zhihuan was deliberately trying to anger Yuan Qinglian.

Yuan Qinglian is a complete hot-tempered person who gets irritated at the slightest provocation.

“I can’t go to college, and it’s all because of you.”

Yuan Qinglian gritted her teeth and said coldly, “Why did you break off the engagement with my eldest brother for no reason? If you two had gotten married, my family wouldn’t have been so broke for me to go to college, and they wouldn’t have sold me out just to save money and pay a few hundred yuan for a betrothal gift! My future is ruined, Xu Zhihuan. I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood right now. I won’t let you go.”

Sure enough, it was almost the same as Xu Zhihuan guessed.

Yuan Qinglian was “abandoned” by the Yuan family.

However, Yuan Qinglian deserved it.

In their previous life, the couple had trouble finding a good job after graduating from college.

It was Xu Zhihuan who helped through his connections.

I thought my sister-in-law would know about this.

As a result, no one took her, the sister-in-law, seriously at all.

Yuan Qinglian just has to suffer in this life!

“Your eldest brother has a problem with his brain, and I didn’t expect that you have a problem with your brain too. You two really are like one family.” Xu Zhihuan sneered, “Yuan Qinglian, why did I break off the engagement with your eldest brother? Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”

Yuan Qinglian snorted, “It’s all because of you, a woman! You just come from a better family, what’s so great about that? My eldest brother is the company commander! He’s going to be a leader in the future. You’re not worthy of my eldest brother in the first place. No matter whose fault it is, no matter what the reason is, it’s all your fault!”

“Since you despise money so much, why did your mother sell you for the bride price?”

Xu Zhihuan sneered.

The corners of Yuan Qinglian’s mouth twitched fiercely. “This is my family affair. It has nothing to do with you!”

“It really has nothing to do with me, but it’s your fault if you’re bitching in front of me!” Xu Zhihuan glanced at the honest man beside her and shook her head in disdain, “What a pity.”

Yuan Qinglian raised her chin unconsciously. It was a pity for her, a cultured person, to marry such a fool!

Little did he know, Xu Zhihuan added, “What a pity for such a good man~”

What’s so good about being a fool? Yuan Qinglian glared at Xu Zhihuan angrily, “What you mean by that is that I’m not even worthy of a stupid man?!”

“Qinglian, why are you calling me stupid again? I’m not stupid at all!” The man could hear that Yuan Qinglian was calling him stupid, so he defended himself.

“Hahaha” the workers who were watching the fun behind Xu Zhihuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
