Wei You Shan and Su Jiang Hai followed Third Brother back to the west side to see how many seeds and fertiliser he had and to decide which plot of land to sow first tomorrow.
Wei You Shan had two donkeys at home and like this, he could sow two plots at once. Besides, all three of his younger sisters were present so there was no need to worry about shortage of manpower.
He Qin poured tea for Zhang Jie again. Zhang Jie picked it up and drank a big mouthful, as though she was going to vent all of the anger that she had accumulated in this period of time.
“Mother-in-law, to be honest, I really regret deciding to engage Zhen Ming to this daughter-in-law right now! This girl is only 20, but she is already pulling so many tricks? I have never seen both sides settling on a wedding day, then changing it suddenly? We have already notified our relatives and friends and even prepared the chef and dishes, yet in the end, she did this. Tell me, where should I put my face? Now, the whole Apricot Village is probably laughing at us Wei family.” After saying this, she placed the cup down on the brick bed with a thud and even though she had just drank a big mouthful, quite a fair bit of the water still spilled out.
“How can that be? Just as you have said, good things are preceded by rough goings. It will be fine once they pass.” He Qin was good tempered and she brought over a cloth towel to dry the water, and filled her cup again. “The child is still young. After she marries, you just need to teach her more.”
Hmph, Zhang Jie snorted coldly, “Even her parents could not teach her, so I won’t even daydream about it. At the beginning, I just thought she was pretty and Wei Zhen Ming liked her. I have also asked my brothers and they said this girl was strong with a bit of a temper, but otherwise she was good. I thought her temper would be good and she would be able to control Wei Zhen Ming in the future. Believe me, after she enters our family, before she controls Wei Zhen Ming, she will control me first. I have already submitted to her now and whenever I hear news from their family, my heart almost jumps out.”
It was Wei Zhen Ming’s wife after all, so He Qin could not say much. She could only persuade Zhang Jie to relax. Wei Zhen Ming liked her so that was the end of the matter and it would not do to break off the marriage now, “Mother-in-law, your body is yours. Think positively. In the future, the two of them will rely on you to raise grandchildren!”
As soon as she heard about grandchildren, Zhang Jie finally revealed a smile on her face, but she did not say anything more about it, “Now that I see it, you have taught Xiao Mian well. She is reasonable and knows medical skills.”
Zhang Jie was secretly rejoicing now that she had not forced Wei Zhen Hui to marry Su Hong.
If he had married Su Hong, she did not dare to think about what their family would have become in the future. She did not even need to think about Wei Zhen Ming’s wife who was rude and unreasonable at a glance. Then she looked at what Su Hong had done recently, plus her mother Bai Yu Lan who did not even let Grandma Su in when she visited. Women like this were so vicious. Fortunately, she was not in-laws with them. If she had become in-laws with them, she would be talked about behind her back for the rest of her life.
Wei Zhen Hui’s judgement was indeed better than hers!
What parents did not like to hear compliments? When He Qin heard this, she kept smiling, “Xiao Mian is big now and she is understanding and reasonable. Your elder brother and I are both pleased.”
“I heard Wei Min say that Su Mian ranked 159th in the whole grade in this month’s exams!”
“Really?” He Qin’s tone was evidently more excited than before and the hand holding a teacup paused. Su Mian had not taken a break since she came back and she had not even thought of asking her about the monthly exams. In the past, she had not dared to ask Su Mian when she returned. She did not need to ask about her daughter’s grades that were not far from the bottom. This time it was different. Su Mian had vowed to enter the Military Medical University.
“It’s not false, Wei Min told me when she came home. Li Ya Jun’s mother also said that Su Mian had improved a lot this time.” In truth, Zhang Jie had not believed what Wei Min had said and had specifically gone to Li Ya Jun’s house to ask. Only then did she believe that Su Mian really had ranked 159th in the exams.
