Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

Xu Yan had already written these things in the letter.

She wrote the letter on the first day she decided to marry Xie Zhuo, but she didn't expect the original owner's parents to come so soon.

She calculated the time.

They packed up and came over almost the same day her letter arrived.

Xu Yan had never had parental love since she was a child. Although she envied others for having love, the feeling was not very strong. Today, when Chen Lihua's tears fell on the back of her hand, she suddenly envied this kind of feeling very much.

She could feel the love of the original owner's parents for her, although not for her.

But she is Xu Yan now, even if her inner core has changed, she is still the same person.

So calling her "Mom" is quite easy to say.

After seeing Chen Lihua's critical look when she met Xie Zhuo's, he reached out and pulled her arm, shook it, and changed the subject, "Mom, how did you get here?"

"This small county town is quite remote," Chen Lihua retracted her gaze and began to tell Xu Yan how the two of them had found their way here.

After listening to this, Xu Yan also felt that life was really not easy for the old couple.

The sourness that she had suppressed before slowly surfaced again.

"However," Chen Lihua suddenly changed the subject.

"Hmm?" Xu Yan sniffed.

"When we came here, we heard from the villagers," Chen Lihua glanced at Xie Zhuo who was pouring water for them, "Xie Lao San married a living ancestor."

Xu Yan's tears disappeared completely in an instant.

"..."

Unexpectedly, the villagers secretly gave her a nickname.

"I haven't seen you for some time. You have indeed changed a bit," Chen Lihua looked at her carefully.

Xu Yan's heart suddenly tightened.

"It seems that leaving your parents does help you grow," Chen Lihua said.

Xu Cangsong also nodded beside him.

Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xie Zhuo, stop busying yourself and sit down."

Chen Lihua suddenly said something to Xie Zhuo, who quickly responded and sat down on a chair beside him.

Although Xie Zhuo usually talked a lot, and could talk nonsense for a long time when talking to the aunts and uncles in the team, he felt indescribably nervous when facing Xu Yan's parents. He thought for a long time but couldn't think of any good topic to talk about.

All I could do was shut up and sit still.

Seeing that Uncle San had sat down obediently, Dabao and Xiaobao also leaned beside him obediently.

It is said that children are very sensitive to adults' emotions. I guess they noticed that the two people from home didn't like the three of them very much, so they didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Like three saw-mouth gourds.

Although Chen Lihua didn't think much of Xie Zhuo, she liked children very much.

Looking at Dabao and Xiaobao at this time, she took out a handful of candy from her pocket and waved to them, "Come here, grandma will give you some candy."

Dabao and Xiaobao looked at Xie Zhuo, and when they saw Xie Zhuo nod, they took a few steps forward, took the candy from Chen Lihua, and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, grandma."

"Oh," Chen Lihua laughed immediately, "You two are really polite."

Even many city kids, when they see candy, don’t necessarily wait for adults’ permission before taking the candy and saying thank you.

Because of this small gesture, Chen Lihua's attitude towards Xie Zhuo improved a little.

If a person can teach a child to be so polite, then he is probably not unreasonable.

After Dabao and Xiaobao took the candies, they returned to Xie Zhuo. They did not open the candies and eat them immediately. Instead, they opened Xie Zhuo's hands and put a few candies into his hands.

"Now Uncle San also has candy," said Dabao.

Xie Zhuo was stunned.

He raised his hand and pinched the two kids' noses, "Just eat it, Third Uncle won't eat it."

"But..." Dabao tilted his head, his voice still innocent, "We all have candy, but Third Uncle doesn't have any. Third Uncle will be unhappy."

After he said this, it was not just Xie Zhuo who was stunned, even Xu Cangsong couldn't help but look at Xie Zhuo.

Then he subconsciously reached into his pocket.

There were so many people present, but Xie Zhuo was the only one without any candy. It was really pitiful.

Chen Lihua liked children to begin with. Seeing how sensible they were, she immediately took out all the candies from her pocket and said, "Here, these are for your uncle, and you two can take the rest and eat them."

After saying that, seeing that Xie Zhuo was still standing there without moving, Chen Lihua called out to him, "Xie Zhuo."

Xie Zhuo finally came back to his senses and exchanged a brief glance with Xu Yan between taking the candy.

Xu Yan blinked at him.

Thanks to Dabao and Xiaobao's actions and words, Xu Yan's parents were finally able to talk to Xie Zhuo properly.

When Chen Lihua heard him say that there were only three of them left at home, she sighed.

Before they came, they only knew that their daughter suddenly wanted to break up her engagement with Han Xiaoyu and marry a man in the village. They also thought that their silly daughter was probably deceived.

That's why I packed my things and rushed over here.

But when he asked about Xie Zhuo in the village, he never heard anyone talking about his daughter and Han Xiaoyu, so he felt something was wrong.

After all, matters like marriage exchange are a topic of conversation in every household after dinner, not only in the village but also in the city.

Why didn't my daughter marry Han Xiaoyu, but instead married Xie Zhuo from the village, and why did everyone else keep silent about this matter?

Unless, no one knows anything about them.

"he and I……"

Xu Yan glanced at Xie Zhuo, and seeing that he had no extra expression, she turned her gaze back to Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong.

"There's nothing between him and me."

Xu Yan sighed and found it a little difficult to speak, mainly because Xie Zhuo was here.

It seemed that she had never told Xie Zhuo about herself before. No, it was about the marriage between the original owner and Han Xiaoyu.

So Xie Zhuo should only know that the original owner had liked Han Xiaoyu before, but never knew that they had been engaged before.

really……

When she said the next sentence, Xie Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at her.

"When we were still in City B, he said... that he was only getting engaged to me to save my reputation and that of our Xu family. He couldn't possibly like me. He also said... that when I was sent to the production team, I couldn't tell anyone about our relationship."

As soon as Xu Yan finished speaking, Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong's expressions changed at the same time.

"Did he really say that?" Xu Cangsong's face turned pale and he looked very angry.

"Yeah," Xu Yan nodded.

"I told you that you are a silly girl," Chen Lihua was also very angry. "You didn't tell us about such a big thing, and you were so stubborn that you insisted on following us. You really want to piss me off to death!"

As he said this, he pretended to slap Xu Yan's arm.

Xu Yan closed his eyes subconsciously, but was stopped by Xie Zhuo who suddenly stood up. Chen Lihua's light slap landed on Xie Zhuo's arm.

Only then did Chen Lihua suppress her anger a little.

Xu Yan thought to himself, this is just the beginning. If you knew what stupid things your daughter had done, you would probably blow the roof off the house on the spot.

As it turned out, Xu Yan's guess was conservative.

When Chen Lihua and Xu Cangsong learned that the original owner not only gave all the food to Han Xiaoyu, but also that he had colluded with those shameless educated youth to take the things they sent to the original owner, and that the original owner had been eating coarse food for half a year and almost drowned in the river, they each slapped the table in the main room to pieces.

Xie Zhuo: “…”

Although this table is indeed a bit old, it can still withstand some "wind and rain".

When he looked towards Xu's parents, he found that Xu Yan was also staring at his parents' hands with a look of shock.
