A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling
Chapter 161 He's henpecked
This trip by Yun Shu's parents was of great significance, at least Xie Yicheng now has a more legitimate claim to the position.
In the past, people might have criticized Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng for acting like newlyweds even though they weren't engaged or married, saying the only difference between them and a married couple was that they didn't live together. But now, you won't hear such comments at all.
Because in the eyes of rural people, once the elders have made the decision, then the matter is considered legal, compliant, and reasonable.
Although Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng still use the excuse that they are not of marriageable age to avoid holding a wedding banquet, they have become an unmarried couple recognized by the entire Fengsheng Brigade.
Now, if Xie Yicheng comes to see Yun Shu again, even if it's in broad daylight and they close the door, no one will gossip anymore.
After seeing Yun Shu's parents off at the train station, many people still asked Xie Yicheng, as if they were joining in the fun, when he would host a two-table banquet at the brigade, since engagement banquets are so popular in big cities.
Xie Yicheng didn't refuse after hearing this. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Yun Shu and asked for her opinion with his eyes.
Yun Shu certainly didn't want to hold an engagement banquet for no reason. Firstly, she didn't like the feeling of being forced into it, and secondly, she believed that even if an engagement banquet was to be held, it shouldn't be done so hastily or just because of a few words of encouragement from others.
She might hold a ceremony here with Xie Yicheng before they both get into university and return to Beijing, but definitely not now.
Therefore, Yun Shu smiled and thanked the middle-aged man who had jokingly asked her question, and then immediately made it clear that they had no intention of holding a banquet right now.
"After all, Ah Cheng and I are still young, so there's no rush. Don't worry, Uncle, I'll definitely have Ah Cheng invite you on the day of the banquet!"
"Okay, then I'll wait!"
They finished their conversation in a few laughs. Aside from some people gossiping behind his back that Xie Yicheng was henpecked, having to let Yun Shu make decisions on even such a small matter, he didn't seem like the head of the household at all.
Yun Shu and the other two, who were walking back, naturally heard these whispers, but it didn't matter. Xie Yicheng not only didn't care, but even seemed to enjoy it.
Especially after Yun Shu's parents accepted him as their future son-in-law, he was so excited and dazed that all he could think about was Yun Shu.
He listened to everything Yun Shu said and did whatever Yun Shu asked him to do. From then on, Yun Shu became the one in charge of their family!
……
His parents died early, and he lived with his uncle's family for a period of time before he joined the army at the age of sixteen. At that time, his uncle's family treated him very well and had no feelings of rejection or resistance. They really treated him as their own child.
But occasionally, very occasionally, when he sees his uncles, aunts, cousins, and other relatives all working hard for their own families, he will think back to when his parents were still alive, and he will feel a little longing and anticipation.
He also hoped that someone could keep him in check, just like his aunt kept his uncle from drinking too much, or his cousin's wife wouldn't let his cousin smoke a pipe. Then he handed over all the money he earned to his wife, watching her plan and consider the family's affairs and worry about him, while he tried his best to make his wife and children live the happiest life.
He felt very satisfied with that.
Therefore, he scoffed at and disregarded the gossip and whispers behind people's backs.
Only you truly know what kind of life you want. Do you really think a complete stranger would put themselves in your shoes and wish you were happier than them?
As for whether the captain would think it was bad for Xie Yicheng to be henpecked, Yun Shu was even less worried.
After all, a relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend is a matter between two people. At most, she and Xie Yicheng now have added a sense of responsibility and consideration for the future.
If Xie Yicheng's parents or grandfather were still alive, the two of them would probably have to consider each other's future from the perspective of their respective families. However, Xie Yicheng has no direct blood relatives left, and the only close relatives she has are the Xie Brigade Captain's family.
The captain was pleased with Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng's situation. Out of remembrance for his deceased elder brother and a sense of responsibility towards his nephew, he wanted Xie Yicheng to live a good life more than anyone else. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for their family to become an evil mother-in-law, a poisonous father-in-law, a foolish aunt, and a greedy uncle.
……
As Yun Shu and her two companions walked further and further away, those who were simply joking would only say a few words and then move on, while only those with ill intentions would keep nagging and going on and on, getting more and more excited as they talked.
It seemed as if they wouldn't be satisfied unless they stirred up a fight between Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng.
Xie Guolei's father also stood at the back of the crowd, staring intently at Yun Shu's figure with eyes full of hatred and resentment.
He was no longer the same person Yun Shu had seen him before. Ever since Zhang Cuihua and her sister were sent to a labor camp, he was left alone to take care of his disabled and mentally challenged son, and he also had to take care of various household chores every day.
After ten or fifteen days apart, he had become much more haggard and aged, and his whole body exuded a lifeless old age. Where was the smug look of Zhang Cuihua charging ahead, him strategizing behind the scenes, and his son committing all sorts of evil deeds?
Moreover, this was during the winter off-season for farming. Taking care of Xie Guolei and doing housework had already left him overwhelmed and exhausted. If planting started in the spring, Xie Lao Er would be even busier.
In Xie Lao Er's view, the culprit behind all of this was Xie Yunshu.
He naturally knew about his wife and son's scheme against the young educated youth, and he didn't see anything wrong with it. In his view, it didn't matter who a woman married; marrying his son was Xie Yunshu's good fortune! But she was ungrateful! To the point that…
Xie Lao Er had always suspected that his son's accident was not just an accident as the police investigation suggested; he had a feeling that there was more to it than met the eye.
After all, his son had gone out to "play" with his two buddies countless times before without any problems, but as soon as he set his sights on Xie Yunshu and her two female educated youths, his son got into trouble.
But Xie Lao Er had no evidence and no way to deal with Xie Yunshu. He could only watch helplessly as Xie Yunshu got engaged to Xie Yicheng and lived a prosperous life in Fengsheng Brigade. Only his family was becoming increasingly disliked because of Zhang Cuihua's affair, and people avoided them like the plague.
Xie Lao Er harbored deep hatred for Yun Shu and her group, with Yun Shu being the one he hated most. He was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting to bite someone at any moment, his mind filled with thoughts of how to deal with Yun Shu.
When he got home and saw his son lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in a worsening condition, unable to take care of himself, it was clear that it was no longer possible to find him a wife and have him a grandson to carry on the family line.
Could it be that his family line is about to end?
The more Xie Lao Er thought about it, the more unwilling he became. The more unwilling he became, the more he cursed Yun Shu in his heart. As he cursed, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Let Xie Yunshu...give him a son.
