Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 121 - 122: Confess Your Feelings Timely

Chapter 121: Chapter 122: Confess Your Feelings Timely

“Supplement her health, who knows, she might even give you another precious granddaughter!”

Mrs. Xu heard this, her mouth twitched disdainfully, “Her giving birth is none of my business, she doesn’t respect me anyway.”

That was what Mrs. Xu said, but she took her daughter’s words to heart.

She wasn’t an evil mother-in-law; before, when the family was struggling, she naturally prioritized her own children.

Now, the second son had started working, Eldest Son’s wife was about to return to her job, and her daughter had begun working at a restaurant; suddenly, there was a significant increase in the household income, and Mrs. Xu became less stingy.

Especially since they could even sell vegetables every day now, and although Eldest Son’s salary was minimal, his work was easier, freeing him up to help around the house more.

...

Anyhow, life at home was getting better and better, Mrs. Xu’s mood was also improving significantly, and people became much more pleasing to her eyes.

With money and food vouchers in hand, Mrs. Xu stepped out of the house, feeling light as a feather.

Xu Ying lay in bed, feeling exceptionally pleased. In her previous life, at this time, with her help, Dong Wenzhong had become a teacher, comfortable for several months before returning to the city with the first snowfall.

Now, let alone returning to the city, Dong Wenzhong had become the most pitiable Youth Corps member, his reputation had plummeted, and his charm was gone.

He was currently at the Youth Corps causing a commotion with Chen Yanran.

The two had torn each other’s faces, physically fighting without any concern for dignity.

Xu Ying stretched out her hand, calculating the arrival of her little niece.

In her past life, after Dong Wenzhong had returned to the city, her father was subsequently targeted for revenge, resulting in his death, and then her Eldest Brother’s leg had been broken. It was during the time her sister-in-law was bullied that they found out she was pregnant.

Calculating the timing, that child was indeed her Eldest Brother’s; probably another month until birth, she guessed.

In this life, she was determined to ensure her little niece would live well.

And those who had sought revenge against her father in her past life, she wouldn’t let them off either.

It was also time to leak out the opportunity to return to the city.

Xu Ying had a good night’s sleep at home, but it was pitiful to have to wake up early the next day, getting dressed in a cotton-padded jacket and pants to head to work.

Riding a bicycle for an hour, with her hands and feet freezing cold, was indeed a tough ordeal.

“Little sister, let me take you to work; it’s too cold. What if you catch a cold?” Xu, her Eldest Brother, looked at her sullen face with concern.

Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was free recently, and her husband was busy with work. Since she could ride a bicycle, she offered, “Or maybe I could take the little sister to work.”

Xu Ying immediately refused, unsure whether her sister-in-law was already pregnant; any mishap could be troublesome.

“I can go by myself. You all do what you need to, and rest when you must.”

Huo Chen, with a basket full of wild supplies, had appeared at the doorway at some point. He said, “I’m going to the county. I’ll take Xu Ying with me.”

“Thank you very much,” Xu Ying replied, wrapped up tightly, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

Mr. Xu pulled his wife aside, “Look, our daughter seems to be clueless.”

“How is she clueless?” Mrs. Xu asked.

Mr. Xu wore a worried expression. Previously, although their daughter was lazy, she understood matters of the heart—after all, she wouldn’t have clung to Dong Wenzhong otherwise.

But now, with Huo Chen, it didn’t seem like typical romantic feelings, yet it wasn’t nothing either; their daughter and Huo Chen were not strangers.

It was as if the daughter had automatically shielded off her emotions.

But trying to explain this to his wife, Mr. Xu found himself at a loss for words, nearly agonizing over it.

“Jianguo, what exactly do you mean?” Mrs. Xu pressed.

Mr. Xu thought for a while and said, “It’s like our daughter doesn’t like the idea of romance anymore, doesn’t want to like anyone.”

Mrs. Xu listened, half understanding, “You mean, our daughter doesn’t want to get married?”

“Right,” Mr. Xu nodded.

Mrs. Xu was overjoyed when she heard it, “If she doesn’t marry, she doesn’t marry; the two of us can still support our daughter.”

“That’s foolishness. Right now, our health is good enough to support her, but what happens if we fall ill later on, maybe one day we’ll just pass away.

Then our daughter won’t even have someone around to know if she’s warm or cold. A brother is still a brother, but there’s a wife in between; who could be more important than a partner?” Mr. Xu’s words were also quite reasonable.

“What should we do then!” Mrs. Xu panicked.

“What to do, how would I know!” Mr. Xu was also anxious.

Xu Ying got into the vehicle, and Huo Chen, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was riding her women’s bike, unable to fully extend his legs.

“I know about everything you mentioned yesterday. Thank you,” Huo Chen said to her as the cold wind howled and whistled.

Xu Ying hadn’t expected him to thank her; her ultimate goal was simply to hope her third brother was alright, although she didn’t know how Huo Chen interpreted it, so she just hummed in response.

The road was quiet, apart from the sound of the wind.

“What kind of man do you like?” Huo Chen’s lazy voice sounded.

Xu Ying paused for a moment and said, “I don’t like any type; I only like myself.”

Hearing this, Huo Chen felt somewhat disappointed.

Xu Ying, however, was full of curiosity, “Huo Chen, are you thinking of finding a wife?

Do you have someone you like in your heart? Is she pretty? What is she like?”

“Hmm, she’s as pretty as you, and just like you!” Huo Chen’s cool voice rose up.

This only made Xu Ying more puzzled, “Whose daughter is she? Does she know you like her?”

Huo Chen shook his head, “She doesn’t.”

Xu Ying immediately offered him advice, “I’m telling you, if you like someone, you should say it sooner. Otherwise, if you wait too long, someone else will snatch her away.

Say it early; what if she likes you back? Also, girls like romance, you should be nice to her and do some romantic things—she’s sure to be moved.”

“Really?” Huo Chen asked excitedly.

Xu Ying nodded, “Really!”

“Do you like it?” Huo Chen asked.

Xu Ying was taken aback; in her past life, she must have liked it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been toyed with by Dong Wenzhong.

Xu Ying didn’t want to answer the question. Seeing that she was not far from the entrance of the restaurant, she changed the subject and called out, “I’m here, thank you Huo Chen, you’re such a good person.”

Huo Chen watched Xu Ying run into the restaurant, and a mix of worry and dejection washed over him.

He had feelings of admiration for Xu Ying, but she was so outstanding that whenever he faced her, he would feel inferior.

Especially underneath that smiling face of Xu Ying’s, he always sensed that she hid too many exhausting troubles.

“Brother Chen, are you thinking of your sister-in-law? I say if you like her, confess quickly, to save her from being snatched away by someone else,” Wu Qingsong said with a teasing grin.

“Have you said it then?” Wu Qingsong shook his head, “I’m afraid if I say it, I won’t even get to see her.”

Hearing this, Huo Chen felt a sudden tug at his heart, and a sharp pain struck him.

He’d build the house first.

Currently, he could sell for about fifteen or twenty yuan a day, and he would mention later that he had also sold wild goods at the grocery store and had saved some money. Taking out a few hundred yuan to build a house wouldn’t be an issue.

Mr. Xu moved quickly; he found people to build the house in just one morning.

They were just waiting for Huo Chen to start bringing in the materials to build the house.

Huo Chen had arranged for the materials early on; they were delivered to the village one after another that afternoon.

When word got out that Huo Chen was building a house, quite a few people in the village changed their expressions.
