Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 141 - 142 I Want to Marry Tong Yingzi

Chapter 141: Chapter 142 I Want to Marry Tong Yingzi

Zhang Baogui came home sporting a black eye, startling Mother Zhao so much that with a pained expression, she asked her son, “Baogui, what happened? Did someone hit you for no reason?”

Upon hearing that her own younger brother had been bullied, Mrs. Xu instantly erupted, slapping her thigh and exclaiming hot-temperedly, “Who hit my brother? I’ll beat them to death.”

Zhang Baogui, looking guilty, lifted his head to face Mrs. Zhang and blurted out, “Mom, I’m getting married.”

Mrs. Zhang had been furious at first, that her son was hit, but she was taken aback upon hearing his words, her face turning to that of a stunned chicken, “What? You’re getting married? With whom?

Which girl? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell your mom sooner? Oh my, my son has got skills now, and he’s even found a wife on his own.”

These past days, she had been worrying herself sick. There were plenty of prospective matches, but none of them sincerely wanted to marry her son.

Their demands were one more outrageous than the next.

Either the dowry they asked for was too much, or they demanded that her future daughter-in-law find jobs for their own family members. How could they have such nerve?

As if jobs were radishes simply waiting to be picked from the ground.

Zhang Baogui’s face flushed, “It’s Tong Yingzi from Tonggouzi Village.”

From the neighboring village, that bodes well, they were so close and could support each other.

Mother Zhao was in high spirits at the news, but she had never heard of this Tong Yingzi.

Which girl was that?

Mrs. Xu was clueless too.

But since her brother had already mentioned it, they definitely had to help him fight for it.

And so, Zhang Baogui started facing a barrage of questions from his mother and sister.

Like “How are things going, is it unrequited love, or do both of you share mutual feelings?”

“Have you two talked about getting married?”

“How long have you known each other? When did you meet?”

…

Finally, after an hour of interrogation, Mother Zhao and her daughter had a general understanding.

Still not reassured, they made a special trip to Tongjia Gouzi to inquire further.

Returning home, Mother Zhao was full of concern.

“Baogui, your mom won’t stop you from this, but I don’t approve either. Think it over carefully and make the decision yourself.”

She and her daughter had just gone out to investigate and learned that Tong Yingzi’s family was the poorest in Tonggouzi Village.

Their wealth didn’t matter; as long as the girl was good and could be supported by their family once she lived there.

However, the girl had a sick mother who needed constantly take medicine, costing one yuan each time.

That would amount to thirty yuan a month.

And she had a younger brother who was still quite young. Once they married, not only would she have to take care of her mother, but her brother as well.

That would place a heavy burden on her son’s shoulders.

Once they married, her son would no doubt want to help Tong Yingzi; he wouldn’t stand to see his wife labor and would certainly do whatever he could to lessen her load.

“Grandma, Sister Yingzi is amazing, she digs up the medicine for her mother herself from the mountains.

And she knows a bit about medicine; she can treat common colds and fevers.

Plus, Sister Yingzi is good at working and recognizes mushrooms. Many people in her village learn to forage for mushrooms from her.”

Mentioning this, Zhang Baogui nodded and hurriedly said, “I learned to recognize mushrooms from her. As long as the two of us work hard, our future is sure to be bright.

Right now, I can make one or two yuan a day just picking mushrooms, and Yingzi also knows how to hunt. Even if she had to take care of her mother and brother, she wouldn’t be a burden to me.”

Mrs. Xu rarely spoke well of others, but she now said, “Mom, I think this girl isn’t bad at all. Her mother has been ill, and it costs so much each day, yet she still helps her mother with the treatment.”

It’s clear that she’s dutiful, and the girl is now taking good care of her mother and younger brother. Naturally, after she gets married, she’ll still be able to support them.

“We’re not seeking a slave for a daughter-in-law, after all. She’ll just be married to Baogui, and apart from that, she’s free to do whatever she wants. It won’t hold her back at all.”

Seeing that her daughter and son were both willing, Mother Zhao didn’t want to stand in the way and play the villain anymore.

Looking at her son, she asked, “Are you sure that girl is willing for you to come and propose? Don’t have us go there just to be driven out.”

Zhang Baogui quickly shook his head, “No, that won’t happen.”

Mother Zhao was finally at ease and planned to pick a good day to visit Tonggouzi Village.

If her son’s marriage was arranged soon, she would have accomplished everything in life she had set out to do. All that would be left was to wait for him to give her a plump grandson so she could spend her days at home taking care of the child.

Mrs. Xu hurried back home after having lunch at her parents’ place.

The day after tomorrow was her father-in-law’s birthday, and she needed to go back and start preparing.

She wondered if her little aunts would come back for their dad’s birthday this time.

The eldest was close by but had to work and often didn’t have the time.

The little aunt was unemployed, but she lived too far away.

A round trip would take several days.

Just as Mrs. Xu and her daughter returned, they saw Xu Shengcai being stopped by a female Youth Corps member from leaving.

Sun Yujuan was sitting on the ground at that moment, sobbing pitifully, clutching her ankle and looking at Xu Shengcai in pain, “Mr. Xu, could you please help me up?

I’ve twisted my ankle, and it hurts too much for me to stand.”

Xu Shengcai didn’t want to help her. His sister had told him that men and women should not touch hands.

But looking around and seeing no one else, Sun’s pain seemed real.

Xu Shengcai parked his bicycle and walked over to Sun Yujuan’s side.

Sun Yujuan was secretly delighted as she saw Xu Shengcai getting closer and closer.

Just as Xu Shengcai reached out his hand, Sun Yujuan couldn’t wait to grasp it.

“Shameless, what are you doing!” The piercing voice of Mrs. Xu rang out.

Startled, Xu Shengcai quickly withdrew his hand, and when he looked up to see Mrs. Xu, his face lit up with surprise, “Mom, come over and help Sun. She’s twisted her ankle.

She can’t walk now; help her to the Youth Corps.”

Mrs. Xu didn’t have any good feelings for these Youth Corps members, especially this Sun, who was good friends with Chen Yanran.

She glared at her son harshly, as if he had said something utterly vile.

Xu Shengcai guiltily lowered his head.

Xu Ying smiled graciously and walked toward Sun Yujuan, her eyes twinkling as she said, “Sun, I do know a few massage techniques.

Since your ankle is twisted, I could give you a massage.”

She then reached out her hands.

Sun Yujuan was not comforted by her words, instead feeling uneasy, especially when she saw the smile on Xu Ying’s face; it seemed oddly sinister.

Even though Xu Ying’s smile was pretty, Sun felt like she was looking at a demon.

“No need, Xu Ying, just help me to my feet and I’ll be fine,” Sun Yujuan quickly said, not believing that Xu Ying was really offering help out of kindness.

Xu Ying, appearing to be kind-hearted, stretched out her hands and suddenly grabbed Sun Yujuan’s ankle.

Not knowing if it was pain or shock, Sun Yujuan let out a sharp scream.

With a smile still on her face, Xu Ying could feel some swelling on Sun Yujuan’s ankle. She blinked and said kindly, “Sun, bear with it for a bit. It might be painful, but it will feel much better after the massage.”
