Shopkeeper. In this day and age, anyone who could be a shopkeeper was old.
A young man like Zhuangzi would have to work for at least ten years before he could reach that step.
It had been less than a year since he became a shop assistant, right? The He family was excited and ran over to matchmake Zhuangzi and He Xiu.
The Shi couple would not agree either. The He familyâs parents almost fell out with them. No matter what they said, they could not get them to agree.
Later on, they came up with a bad idea. They simply let He Xiu go to Guâs shop to meet Zhuangzi. The two of them would meet more in private. When Zhuangzi had a good impression of He Xiu, it would be useless even if the Shi couple wanted to object.
He Xiu did go to the shop in the county city and saw Zhuangzi arrogantly instructing Chen Jincai to work.
She felt that it was especially impressive and imagined having a maidservant for her to order around in the future.
Hence, she was even more determined to get Zhuangzi. After entering the shop, she felt very immersed and also instructed Chen Jincai.
Chen Jincai tolerated Zhuangzi because Zhuangzi was only putting on an act on the surface. In fact, he had helped him a lot. This was the way the two of them interacted.@@novelbin@@
But where did this woman called He Xiu come from? It was simply baffling.
Then, He Xiu was chased out by Chen Jincai.
Zhuangzi looked on coldly and even gloated.
These relatives of the He Family were really ugly. Zhuangzi had never liked them in the past. When his parents were in trouble, they would avoid them and hit them when they were down. Now, seeing that Zhuangziâs familyâs lives were getting better and better, they rushed to curry favor with them, which made Zhuangzi extremely disgusted.
Therefore, no matter what He Xiuâs personality was, Zhuangzi would not consider it.
Although he had become the shopkeeper, Zhuangzi was still not stingy.
He went straight to He Xiuâs village to look for the He familyâs parents. If they let He Xiu pester him again, he would make a fuss that the entire village would know and make He Xiu unable to marry in the future.
If He Xiu had the guts to marry him, he would also have the guts to beat her to death. As for being filial to his parents-in-law? Donât even think about it.
He Xiuâs family really felt that he could do it. They were a little timid. After weighing it for a while, they still felt that they should let it go. Hence, they restrained He Xiu and stopped her from looking for Zhuangzi.
Lan Huaâer did not expect He Xiu to make things difficult for her here.
With her temperament, she actually looked down on Gu Yundongâs gift? What a joke.
He Xiu was a little angry after being rebuked by Lan Huaâer. She stood up and wanted to quarrel with her.
However, she was quickly suppressed by her sister-in-law. âStop it. Today is Lan Huaâs big day. If you make a fuss, Zhuangzi will be the first to not let you off. Itâs not like you donât know Zhuangziâs temper.â
He Xiu took two deep breaths and endured it. In the end, she did not say anything.
However, after lowering her head, her eyes darted around and her gaze landed on the hairpin.
The He familyâs sister-in-law immediately changed the topic, and everyone looked away from He Xiu.
The chattering in the room quickly became lively again.
Not long after, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Immediately after, a child ran in and shouted, âThe groom is here. The groom is here. He rode a tall horse over. Heâs so awe-inspiring.â
Everyone in the room stood up and chuckled as they asked Lan Huaâer to quickly cover her head.
After a while, there was even more noise outside.
There were a lot of people in the room. Soon, a portion of them went out. He Xiu also squeezed out of the crowd.
