These days, he was lying in bed with body aches. Both the female Intellectual Youths at the Intellectual Youth Point and the young women in the village brought him a lot of food.
This fish soup was traded for by Zhao Weihong with a fellow villager.
“Wen Zhiqing, be careful not to spill the fish soup.” Zhao Weihong, quick-eyed and quick-handed, instinctively reached out to steady the bowl, accidentally touching Wen Zhuqing's cool fingers. Zhao Weihong blushed and retracted her hand.
While telling Wen Zhuqing to hold the bowl, she blushed, and lowered her head, savoring the feeling of just touching Wen Zhuqing's hand. Her heart bloomed with joy.
Wen Zhuqing said thank you, didn't notice Zhao Weihong's strangeness, lowered his head to drink the fish soup, and thought about what Zhao Weihong had just said.
Zhao Weihong told him about the rumors in the village these two days, and what Gu Jia Ning said when they met.
Even Wen Zhuqing, who was confident about Gu Jia Ning's liking for him, couldn't help but wonder: Did Gu Jia Ning really change? Did she really intend to marry that Officer Sheng Ze Xi, and not just playing hard to get?
In fact, these past two days, Gu Jia Ning, who was originally the most likely to come, hasn't come, has she?
I heard that Gu Yunting has gone to work.
Wen Zhuqing vaguely felt that Gu Jia Ning was slipping from his control.
No, he still needs to find a time to see Gu Jia Ning in person and ask her.
If she was playing hard to get, and not really going to marry that Officer Sheng, that's fine. But if she really changed, then...
Wen Zhuqing's eyes darkened.
The prey he had his eyes on, how could he let her escape easily?
Gu Jia Ning, who was considered prey by Wen Zhuqing, had just come out from her grandmother's old house and heard many villagers discussing Wen Zhuqing's "good prospects" after being beaten up.
Gu Jia Ning's grandparents had two sons and a daughter.
The eldest son is her father, and the younger son is her uncle. In Huaihua Village tradition, the elderly live with their younger son. After her aunt married and Gu Grandfather passed away, Gu Grandmother decided to divide the family property. She lived with her younger son in the old house, and the elder son, Gu Jia Ning's father, was given extra money to build a new house.
Although they had divided the family property, the two brothers had a good relationship. Gu Grandmother, in particular, did not favor sons over daughters and was especially fond of her younger son's family, especially Gu Jia Ning. She would secretly save any delicious food for her.
This time, Gu Jia Ning naturally had to tell her grandmother and her uncle's family about her engagement to Sheng Ze Xi.
So, happily coming out from the old house, she heard Wu Meili and several other aunts who were digging sweet potatoes in the field talking about how many female Intellectual Youths and village girls were showing Wen Zhuqing affection.
Seeing her approach, they spoke even more excitedly and loudly.
Were they specifically telling her this?
This Wu Meili, Aunt Wu, she remembered, this person had previously intended to marry her daughter to her elder brother. But at that time, her elder brother was already dating his sister-in-law, Yang Manman, so it was impossible to consider anyone else. Plus, Yao Chunhua didn't want to be in-laws with Wu Meili.
So, the blind date was naturally rejected.
But Wu Meili and her daughter seemed to have been holding onto this.
She remembered that in her past life, her elder brother and sister-in-law had never had children. This Aunt Wu had gossiped countless times in the village about her sister-in-law being a hen that wouldn't lay eggs. Those words were extremely harsh. Originally, if her elder brother had a worker's job, it would have been fine, but she had given it to Wen Zhuqing. In the end, her elder brother failed in everything he did. Instead, Gu Baozhu's husband, originally a carpenter, later became rich by making custom furniture.
Later, whenever Wu Meili and her mother, Yao Chunhua, cursed at each other, they would say things like "a fortunate daughter doesn't marry into an unfortunate family," meaning that the Gu family was unfortunate and her daughter was fortunate. They not only disparaged the Gu family but also elevated Gu Baozhu.
However, in this life, these things will not happen again!
Gu Jia Ning thought, this Aunt Wu probably wants her to cause trouble at the Intellectual Youth Point.
She couldn't possibly go to cause trouble.
However, she felt that Wen Zhuqing needed to be dealt with.
She knew that Wen Zhuqing, with his gentle and refined appearance, was actually a ruthless and cruel poisonous snake inside. Obviously, she had become Wen Zhuqing's prey, and Wen Zhuqing wouldn't easily give her up before he had squeezed all her value.
He might even make trouble after learning that she was marrying Sheng Ze Xi.
So, she had to think about how to deal with Wen Zhuqing. Even if she couldn't eliminate him completely, letting him suffer would be good. At least after she and Sheng Ze Xi got married and she went with him to the military base, Wen Zhuqing wouldn't be able to plot against the Gu family.
Gu Jia Ning kept this in mind and slowly approached Wu Meili and the others.
Wu Meili caught sight of Gu Jia Ning approaching and spoke even more cheerfully.
These past two days, she not only heard about Gu Jia Ning's blind date with an officer, but she also saw it.
That officer looked extremely good. Wu Meili secretly thought in her heart that the officer was blind to choose Gu Jia Ning. Her daughter was so much better.
She felt that Gu Jia Ning should still like Wen Zhiqing better.
Although Wu Meili was now praising how good Wen Zhuqing was and how popular he was with the girls, deep down she didn't like this Intellectual Youth who was physically weak, and didn't think he was reliable. He only had a good face and a good tongue. Look at how Gu Jia Ning was tricked by Wen Zhuqing before. Not only did she give all her food and drinks to Wen Zhiqing, she even jumped into the river to force her brother to give his job to Wen Zhiqing.
Although later Gu Jia Ning said it was an accident, and Gu Yunting also went to work and denied the rumor, Wu Meili didn't believe it.
She hoped Gu Jia Ning would continue to chase after Wen Zhiqing, so the entire Gu family would definitely be dragged down.
In fact, Wu Meili's feeling was correct. In her last life, didn't Wen Zhuqing use Gu Jia Ning and drain all the value of everyone in the Gu family?
"...I think Wen Zhiqing is really good. He's handsome, has a good personality, and I heard that he can recite poetry. He's also from Shanghai. Whoever marries Wen Zhiqing will become a Shanghainese." Wu Meili praised Wen Zhuqing lavishly.
Gu Jia Ning approached, crossed her arms, and asked in a sweet, feigned doubtful voice, "Aunt Wu, do you really think Wen Zhiqing is that good?"
Wu Meili turned around, as if she had just seen Gu Jia Ning. Knowing that her words had been heard by Gu Jia Ning, she had a smile on her face, "Yes, I think Wen Zhiqing is very good. He's a very good husband and son-in-law."
"Oh, really? If Wen Zhiqing were to be your son-in-law, Aunt Wu, wouldn't you be overjoyed?" Gu Jia Ning blinked her pretty almond eyes, as if she couldn't see Wu Meili's deeper meaning, and followed her words.
"Of course, I would be happy." Even though Wu Meili didn't like Intellectual Youths in her heart, she had to follow Gu Jia Ning's words at this moment.
"No wonder I see you so happy, Aunt Wu. So Wen Zhiqing is going to be your son-in-law." Gu Jia Ning said in a tone of sudden realization.
Wu Meili was stunned. What did she mean? Wen Zhiqing becoming her son-in-law?
Gu Jia Ning blinked her eyes, feigning surprise. "Aunt Wu, don't you know? Your Pearl likes Wen Zhiqing. By the way, didn't your family stew meat today? I think Pearl is going to send some meat to Wen Zhiqing. What, Aunt Wu, don't you know?"
