Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Tang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my personal matter, but Wu Yong's matter!"

"Wu Yong?" Liu Meilan frowned. "He beat his wife again? I taught him last time that he shouldn't be violent with his wife."

Tang Xiaoyu shook his head. "No violence was used. It was Wu Yong's wife Xiaofang who came to the company and wanted to collect Wu Yong's salary and commission."

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned, remembering the last time Wu Yong and his wife Xiaofang had a dispute, it was because Xiaofang took all the money Wu Yong earned to pay off gambling debts for her brothers from her mother's family, "Did you give it to her?"

Tang Xiaoyu replied: "Of course not. Wu Yong is our employee, not Xiaofang. Besides, I also know the reason why Wu Yong quarreled with his wife. How could he give the money to Xiaofang?"

"After Wu Yong came back last night, I asked him. Wu Yong said that he gave Xiaofang 1,000 yuan a month for living expenses. Living on the island, this amount of living expenses is actually enough."

Liu Meilan scratched her head. "What do you think Xiaofang is thinking? She has a good life, but she has to bother with her brother from her mother's family who gambles. That brother is a piece of mud. Not only does she not stay away from him, but she also gives him money again and again. Not only does she hurt her brother, but she also hurts herself."

Tang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly and said, "I can't understand it either. How can a person be so stupid? He usually looks quite smart, but when it comes to his mother's family, his brain becomes a mess, like a psychopath."

Liu Meilan was startled, thinking of some parents who indiscriminately sexually abuse their children. "Maybe this is really a mental illness. I'll go back and ask around, and have Wu Yong take Xiaofang to see a doctor."

"Okay, it would be best if we can take good care of it. We can't just watch this family fall apart." Tang Xiaoyu said with emotion, "It's okay to show some respect to my parents-in-law. Just give them some money. As for gambling, which is a bottomless pit, I would run as far away as I can and not care about it!"

Liu Meilan nodded. "If my second brother gambled, I would call the police and send him to jail. I work so hard to earn money by fishing, not to pay off his gambling debts."

Tang Xiaoyu agreed, "I may not call the police, but I will cut off one of his fingers."

When I come back today, Tang Xiaoyu will treat everyone to dinner.

Professor Xie went home to rest, while Liu Yiwen stayed in the company to work.

Liu Meilan returned to Sifang Island with Fu Chen.

Standing on the dock, Liu Meilan greeted familiar people.

She turned to look at Fu Chen, "Are you going to work, or are you going home with me?"

Fu Chen answered without hesitation: "Of course I'll go home with you. I want to play chess with grandpa!"

This time he came here just to make his attitude clear. No matter what the elders said, his feelings for Liu Meilan remained the same.

Liu Meilan chuckled and said, "Okay, whatever you want!"

Following Liu Meilan home, Mr. Liu looked at Fu Chen and didn't say much.

In fact, this matter cannot be blamed on Fu Chen, and the old man does not want to embarrass Fu Chen at this time.

After all, there is a granddaughter in the middle, and saying too much will hurt feelings.

"Grandpa, I bought you some traditional cakes from Jing City. Let me make you a cup of tea, and try them now."

Mr. Liu smiled and nodded, "Okay, I like to eat that donkey roll!"

"I like to eat it just like grandpa!" Liu Meilan responded with a smile, made a pot of black tea, and ate with her grandfather.

Fu Chen sat across from the chessboard, "Grandpa, when you finish eating, I'll play chess with you."

"Okay!" Old Master Liu nodded, "Xiufang, let's start cooking now. Finish eating early, and you and Meilan will help Fu Chen clean up the house."

Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "I have the key to Fu Chen's house at home. While the sun is shining brightly, I'll ride my bike over there and put some mats and bedding out to dry in the sun!"

"Okay!" Mr. Liu nodded. "It's too humid on the island. If we don't clean it up, it won't be comfortable to live here."

Fu Chen's heart skipped a beat and he felt a little disappointed. Now his salary has been reduced and he is not allowed to live here anymore.

If it were in the past, he might have been able to make some excuses, but now Fu Chen didn't even want to ask to live here.

"Sorry for bothering Sister Xiufang!" Fu Chen had to express his gratitude and did not dare to show the slightest bit of unhappiness.

There is no problem with the relationship between him and Liu Meilan, but now the two families are playing games back and forth.

Liu Meilan is a person who attaches great importance to family, and so does Fu Chen, so their relationship went very smoothly at the beginning, but now it is struggling.

He even thought about breaking up with his family, but Liu Meilan was very determined and did not allow him to do so.

Liu Meilan should get married in an open and aboveboard manner and obtain the approval of all the elders, instead of getting married on impulse and leaving behind a bunch of conflicts.

That was not the marriage Liu Meilan wanted, and Fu Chen had always known it, so he had been suppressing himself, hoping to overcome these obstacles with Liu Meilan and have a good result.

Zhang Xiufang and Liu Meilan rode their bicycles to Fu Chen's house, and Zhang Xiufang wanted to say something several times but stopped herself.

"Meilan, I know your sister-in-law has recovered now, so I'm not worried. But when I came back this time, why do I feel like something is wrong between you and Fu Chen?"

Liu Meilan smiled when she heard this. "We were originally going to get engaged during the National Day holiday, but the Fu family unilaterally cancelled it. This time when we went there, the Fu family wanted me and Fu Chen to get married at the end of the year, but my mother refused!"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiufang thought about it carefully, and then comforted her: "Meilan, Professor Xie is a good person, knowledgeable and talented, and she considers things very comprehensively. You are her beloved daughter, and she will never harm you.

"When a woman marries a man, the man's character is important, the relationship between the two is important, but the man's family is more important. Although I don't regret marrying Xu Jianguo, I did suffer a lot when I married him.

"At that time, my husband was not at home and might not come back once a year. I did all the housework and gave birth to the children by myself. My husband's family would control everything about me, and even if I spent my husband's money, they would talk about me.

"I can tolerate being wronged, but it's really hard to see my child being bullied because of me. So Meilan, the Fu family was wrong first, and Professor Xie's decision to refuse your marriage at the end of the year was actually for your own good."

Liu Meilan nodded, "I know! That's why I agreed! If our family easily agreed to the marriage, wouldn't they look down on us?

"Even if I reject you, Fu Chen won't end this relationship. Besides, even if this relationship ends, I can still start another one with someone else. There's no need to hang myself on a tree."

Zhang Xiufang was very happy to see that Liu Meilan had thought clearly. "Meilan, you are right to think this way! Life is not so complicated, and no one can't live without the other."

"Right!" Liu Meilan agreed. "We often say that the earth will not stop turning because of one person! I will take it one step at a time. Anyway, I am young, so I am not in a hurry."

The apartment was already very clean, so I took the bedding to the balcony to dry in the sun and wiped the mat with hot water.

On the way back, I bought roast goose and poached chicken to take back.

Although these things can be made at home, it is too troublesome.

The roast goose and poached chicken I bought this morning tasted very authentic. They were all people I knew, and I saw them every day, so I didn't dare to pass off inferior goods as good ones.

Besides, if you eat something you know before, you can tell whether it is good or not just by taking a bite.

If you sell inferior products as good ones, it would be a small matter if customers come and make a fuss. They will never buy from you again and will also ask their relatives and friends not to buy from you. This is the most fatal thing.

Therefore, in this familiar society on the island, everyone knows each other well and can eat with peace of mind.

The rice was cooked in the rice cooker. When she got home, Zhang Xiufang made stir-fried clams, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, steamed grouper, and cold-mixed asparagus.

After Xu Chongyang came back from school, he saw Liu Meilan coming back and quickly took out his test paper from his schoolbag, "Aunt Meilan, I got 100 points this time!"

When Liu Meilan heard this, she quickly took it and looked at it, praising him non-stop: "Chongyang, you are awesome!"

After saying that, she took out a dollar from her wallet and put it into Chongyang's pocket.

"This is the pocket money my aunt gave me!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Sister Zhou Fang, just give Chongyang one dollar, don't ask him for more!"

Zhang Xiufang nodded, "Since Aunt Meilan gave you one dollar, Mom will also give you one dollar! You can spend these two dollars as you like, buy whatever you want!"

"Thank you, Aunt Meilan, and thank you, Mom!" Xu Chongyang smiled happily when he heard this. He preferred small-denomination money to large-denomination money.

Because he can use each and every dollar as he pleases.

For example, with these two dollars, he can treat Sister Nuannuan to some maltose tomorrow.

The malt sugar comes in strips, colorful and beautiful, and tastes very good. You can buy a lot for two dollars.

Xu Chongyang's clear voice and cheerful smile made the whole yard lively.

Mr. Liu is old and he likes this kind of liveliness the most and hopes he can have many children and grandchildren.

Then Mr. Liu also took out a dollar from his pocket and said, "Here, Chongyang, I have some too!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Liu!" Xu Chongyang ran over, his mouth almost stretching to his ears.

Seeing that everyone had given money, Fu Chen took out his wallet, which was full of hundred-dollar bills, and directly took out one and gave it to Xu Chongyang.

When Xu Chongyang saw the hundred-dollar bill, he quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "No need, Uncle Fu!"

Xu Chongyang ran back to his room and saved the money.

"Why does Chongyang only want your money and not mine?" Fu Chen felt a little guilty. Could it be that even the children were dissatisfied with him?

Liu Meilan explained with a smile, "If you give him one dollar, he will take it! Xu Chongyang won't take such a large amount of money, and Sister Xiufang won't let Chongyang take it!"

Hearing this, Fu Chen's heart fell back to where it was, "So that's the case, then I'll prepare coins next time!"

After playing three games of chess, Mr. Liu's attitude remained the same as always and he did not neglect Fu Chen.

But Fu Chen still felt a sense of polite distance, so he was more cautious and sincere.

After dinner, as the sun set, Liu Meilan sent Fu Chen back to rest.

Same environment, same people, but a different state of mind.

Although Liu Meilan and Fu Chen didn't say anything, they could feel each other.

After Fu Chen put down the luggage, he sent Liu Meilan back.

"It's just a short distance, what's the point of sending us back and forth?" Liu Meilan shook her head and laughed, pushing Fu Chen back, "Go in and rest, don't send me back. If it's somewhere else, I won't refuse you to send me back, but on the island, it's safe, you don't need to send me back."

Fu Chen shook his head. "The night is long, enough for rest. I'll take you back."

Liu Meilan couldn't refuse Fu Chen's enthusiasm, so she was sent back by Fu Chen.

Watching Fu Chen leave the alley, Liu Meilan smiled faintly. The unpredictable world makes life full of twists and turns instead of being monotonous.

Take it easy, it will all pass.

Fu Chen put his hands in his pockets, feeling the sea breeze on the island. The familiar breath penetrated into Fu Chen's pores, and his whole body relaxed.

He used to stay on the island as a guardian.

Now that he is on vacation, he experiences Sifang Island as a bystander and feels very familiar and comfortable.

"Battalion Commander, you...why are you here?" Chen An was taking a break and came out to buy something, when he saw the battalion commander.

When Fu Chen saw Chen An, his eyes lit up. This subordinate seemed to be particularly good at handling emotional issues. Perhaps he could ask him.

"I'll take Meilan back after she finishes her business in Beijing." Fu Chen replied, "I'm going to school next year and will come over to keep her company."

Chen An sensed something was wrong in Fu Chen's words, "Captain, you're not engaged, so you're not getting married by the end of the year?"

Fu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, something happened."

Chen An roughly guessed it, but he couldn't say, "Captain, where do you live?"

"In my house, I'm on vacation. I don't have any tasks now, so I won't bother the team." Fu Chen replied, "You and Zhang Meng should work hard and strive for promotion. If there is a chance, try to go to military school."

Chen An nodded, "Captain, I understand. We will do our best."

After chatting for a while, Fu Chen asked again: "Chen An, think about it carefully, how can I improve my relationship with Meilan now?"

Chen An thought for a while, "Captain, I think this is not a problem between you two, but a matter between your two families. If that's the case, since you love each other, just continue to be together. You're going to school anyway, and even if you get married, you can't be together, so just continue to date for two years."

Fu Chen was stunned, "This is the only way!"

Even if he wanted to go further, Liu Meilan would not agree.

Chen An comforted him in a low voice: "Captain, good things take time. You are blessed with a good fate, and you will definitely get what you want. Now you must not only maintain a good relationship with Meilan, but also work hard to improve your ability and status, and increase your voice in the family. Only in this way can you get what you want, instead of what others arrange for you that you don't like."

When Fu Chen heard this, he was shocked, "Chen An, I find you are really smart!"

Chen An smiled, "I was like that before. Although my family is not as powerful as yours, Captain, we are still well-known in the local area. You know, parents think their family conditions are good, their children are good-looking and promising, so they look down on children from ordinary families. The reason I can be with my first love now is not because they have changed their minds, but because I have the ability to decide my own affairs."

Fu Chen smiled and patted Chen An on the shoulder. "After talking to you for a while, everything became clear. I should also work hard to move forward and strive for the right to speak."

Sometimes, people are like this. They are obviously very smart, but when things concern themselves, they can't see clearly.

Fu Chen was awakened by Chen An!
