The Tempting Educated Youth Married to a Rough Man-Chapter 170 - 166: Xiao Chenye Returns & Who Is Zhou Hong?

Chapter 170: Chapter 166: Xiao Chenye Returns & Who Is Zhou Hong?

At the fork in the road, the Chu Family didn’t follow to the Silly Deer Team and said their goodbyes directly, "Sis, brother-in-law, take care of these two kids and live well."

"We’re not going back with you, our parents and brothers are waiting for news at home."

"Brother, kids, nephews, you can’t leave like this," Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and held Chu He’s hand, not letting him leave, "After helping out all afternoon, you haven’t eaten a bite. If word gets out, what kind of people would we be."

Zhang Chongxin also added, "Brother, no matter what, I’ll make sure everyone gets a good meal."

"Forget it, I’m your brother, overthinking this kind of thing is pointless."

Patting his sister’s shoulder, Chu He followed Zhang Chongxin’s lead, "Brother-in-law, everyone is tired today, let’s leave it at this for now. Once things calm down, we’ll come visit.

Honghong’s wedding is no small matter, and since that kid Zhang Shihua is willing to be a son-in-law, we can’t let him be wronged."

Zhang Shihua: "..."

He couldn’t shake off a feeling of impending doom.

He shrunk his head, instinctively hiding behind Zhang Weihong.

Chu Xi rolled his eyes and tugged Zhang Shihua out.

Zhang Shihua cried out, "Uncle, uncle, you haven’t washed your hands."

Chu Xi: "..."

Annoyed and embarrassed, "Who said I didn’t wash my hands! I did wash them!"

The crowd burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly improved.

"Here’s what I’m thinking," Chu He said with a smile, "We’ll take Zhang Shihua away. After all, they’re not formally married yet, living together would only stir up gossip."

Zhang Chongxin thought for a moment and asked Zhang Shihua, "What do you think?"

Zhang Shihua agreed immediately, "Alright."

Zhang Weihong protested, "Huh? But my uncle’s house doesn’t have room for him."

"Your place is even smaller, just the three of you. If Zhang Shihua comes, where will he stay? Our place is big, with lots of brothers," It was Chu Shengli speaking, "Honghong, be good and let him come with us.

He’ll find a place to stay when he gets there."

Zhang Weihong wanted to argue, but Zhang Shihua intervened, "Honghong, it’s fine, I’ll go stay there."

He chuckled foolishly, "Then, I’ll wait for you to come marry me."

This shameless person, given a way out, he’d use it to his advantage.

Among the laughter from the crowd, Zhang Weihong blushed furiously and spat out, "Hmph, you’re so shameless."

They agreed on a time, and after setting the wedding date with the Wild Boar Team tomorrow, they parted ways at the fork.

Zhang Weihong watched the backs of everyone, feeling a sense of emptiness.

Wen Ran took a bite of a warm meat bun, "Want a bite?"

Zhang Weihong shook her head, she wasn’t in the mood to eat.

"Ah, things are pretty good as they are now!"

Zhang Weihong murmured, "I’m afraid he’ll regret it someday, being a son-in-law always invites gossip."

Zhang Chongxin calmly said, "I’ve only got you as my daughter in this lifetime. Are there few people who talk about me? We live our own lives, and if Zhang Shihua is afraid of gossip, then he can leave."

Mrs. Zhang echoed, "Exactly."

Despite the words, Zhang Weihong still worried.

But Wen Ran piped up, "I feel like you both are overthinking it, worrying too much about each other. Sometimes, this kind of concern can backfire, just like how Zhang Shihua jumped into the river because he was afraid he couldn’t give you a good life."

Zhang Weihong pouted, "That useless guy, always bottling things up. Fortunately, we met you today, otherwise, he’d have truly lost his life."

"So, you shouldn’t bottle up your thoughts. When you head over tomorrow, find a moment to have an open and honest conversation, and leave the rest to fate."

It seems fate is the only option.

Love is real, yet always changing.

Zhang Shihua can be sure he has no regrets now, but in the future...

No one can guarantee it.

"Alright," Zhang Weihong’s expression relaxed a little, "I’ll talk with him tomorrow."

"Huh?"

The sunset had already faded, and the sky was darkening, only a shadow could be faintly seen.

"Who is that on the road?"

Wen Ran turned to look.

At the end of the winding path, a young man was standing with a bicycle, his silhouette clearly Xiao Chenye.

Her eyes lit up, and she waved her hand, "Xiao Chenye!"

The silent Xiao Chenye moved.

He pedaled his bicycle towards the ox-cart, "Why are you back only now?"

Wen Ran nestled in the ox-cart, chuckling, "I went to uphold justice with the team leader, when did you get back?"

"I’ve been back half a day, I came to take you home for dinner."

"That’s great," Wen Ran held Xiao Chenye’s hand and jumped off the ox-cart, adeptly, "Then I’ll go eat with you."

She turned and instructed the team leader, feeling justified, "Uncle, take my things to your place first, I’ll pick them up later."

"Go on, go on, you’re a real handful."

While they chatted, Xiao Chenye also greeted the Zhang Chongxin family.

Sitting on the back seat of Xiao Chenye’s bicycle, the two quickly disappeared.

Wen Ran thought, how could these days not be joyful?

She’s practically too joyful, isn’t she~

The team leader watched the two disappear and then said to Zhang Weihong, "Weihong, look at Xiao Wen, this girl’s heart is wider than many men’s.

Enjoy each day as it comes, no one is better at relaxing than her."

Zhang Weihong, infected by Wen Ran’s happiness, smiled, "Uncle, I understand."

...

On the way, Wen Ran criticized Xiao Chenye.

The topic was the craziness of Matchmaker Zhou and Zhou Wei. Although Aunt Xiao had defended her, fair is fair.

She was going to spend her days with Xiao Chenye, not with Mrs. Xiao.

"Tell me honestly, who is Zhou Wei!"

Xiao Chenye, pedaling the bicycle, was confused, "Huh? Who’s Zhou Wei, I only know Zhou Hong."

Wen Ran: "!"

She erupted instantly, pinching the soft flesh on Xiao Chenye’s waist, "Alright, you didn’t clarify who Zhou Wei is, now there’s Zhou Hong.

What is it, do you have some connection with people having the surname Zhou?"

"Ow~" Xiao Chenye cried as the flesh on his waist ached, "Stop, stop, auntie, my dear ancestor, there must be some misunderstanding here!"

He dared not continue riding the bicycle and hurriedly parked it by the roadside.

If they fell, it wouldn’t matter if he got hurt, but he couldn’t risk Wen Ran getting injured.

"Hey, stop pinching," Xiao Chenye held Wen Ran’s hand, smiling flatteringly, "There’s no context, I don’t even know who you’re talking about.

Give me a hint, how about it?"

Wen Ran cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Chenye, "You first tell me who Zhou Hong is."

"Zhou Hong?" Xiao Chenye scratched his head, "A colleague, ran a few routes together."

Wen Ran: "?"

After the confusion, she began to realize.

After all, women can hold up half the sky these days, as long as you have the skills, you can do anything.

She must be a female driver from the county transportation team.

Wen Ran felt slightly annoyed, "How come I’ve never heard you mention you have a coworker named Zhou Hong before?"
