Chapter 161: Handing Over the Registry
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Li held a pen and paper and suddenly thought of something. "By the way, since Zuo Huo is my son-in-law, bring him along when we visit our relatives tomorrow. He can also get to know our relatives!"
"Okay! Thank you, Aunt Gu!" Zuo Huo replied and picked up another steamed dumpling for Song Yao.
Song Yao was also considerate. She picked up a lot of pickled vegetables for Zuo Huo and refilled his cup with soy milk.
Seeing how sweet her daughter and future son-in-law were, Gu Li was overjoyed. She smiled and said, "Why are you still calling me Aunt Gu? You have to change how you address me in a few days!"
Hearing this, Zuo Huo immediately blushed.
"Mom!" Song Yao smiled. "There are still a few days left..
Gu Li also knew that the two of them were shy, but as elders, she had to remind them.
Gu Li said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The two of you are about to get married. You have to go through the necessary procedures!"
Zuo Huo immediately said, "Aunt Gu, don't worry. I've already prepared the betrothal gifts and camper van! I'm just waiting to marry Yao!"
After Zuo Huo finished speaking, he took out two property deeds and a set of car keys from his pocket as if he was prepared.
Gu Li was even more dumbfounded. She didn't want too many betrothal gifts, but what was wrong with Zuo Huo? He actually took out his own registry. Was he afraid that Song Yao would suffer with him after marrying into the capital?
Gu Li subconsciously felt that Zuo Huo was quite silly. Unexpectedly, when she opened the registry, she was even more dumbfounded!
It was one thing to have a big courtyard in the capital, but it was actually more than a hundred square meters! More importantly, Song Yao's name was written on the registry!
"You..." Gu Li trembled for a long time and did not dare to say anything.
Who would use a house book as a betrothal gift? Gu Li had never seen it before!
In their town, there were very few families who could afford a dowry of 500 yuan and three large items, let alone something as important as the name under the house and car!
Did Zuo Huo... place all his assets in Song Yao's hands?
Gu Li's eyes immediately turned red. "Actually, you don't have to. You don't have to...
"What's wrong with you?" Zuo Huo was dumbfounded. Could it be that the sincerity he gave was not enough?
He quickly said, "My betrothal gift is on the way. I'll have my brothers send it over in a few days.. "No need!" Gu Li stopped Zuo Huo. "Why are you so generous! How are you going to live in the future?"
She felt that Zuo Huo was being too honest, but Zuo Huo thought that Gu Li was angry and insisted, "I just wanted to give Yao the best!"
Gu Li was caught between laughter and tears. "I just think that you're too good to Yao and will spoil her!"
Zuo Huo smiled and looked at Song Yao. "If I don't dote on Yao, who should I dote on? Shouldn't I treat her well when I get a wife?"
Good things were about to happen. Even the matter of visiting relatives during the new year became busy and joyful.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, her aunt, Song Lan, and her family came to visit.
She heard that her second cousin, Sun Nan, was working in a steel factory in Pengcheng. His monthly salary alone was more than 30 yuan!
Song Lan's eyes lit up when she mentioned this to Gu Li. She kept praising Sun Nan for being smart, as if she was not the one who had firmly disagreed with her youngest son working in the south back then.
"Nan even bumped into Wu Xia in Peng City this time..." At the mention of this, Song Lan let out a long sigh.
"I heard that she and her current man are not living well in Peng City. That man smokes and drinks and does everything. As long as his heart is troubled, he will take it out on Wu Xia. Why do you think she's doing this?"
Speaking of Wu Xia, Song Yao had not heard her family mention her for a while. Ever since she ran to the south with the men in the village, Song Lan and Sun Hao had been taking care of Little Hu.
He wondered if he missed his mother after not seeing her for so long.
"Aunt, why didn't Little Hu follow us?" Song Yao asked.
Song Lan sighed again. "Don't mention it! When Little Hu heard about what happened, he locked himself in his room and refused to come out! I've already tried to persuade him, but this child won't listen! Why do you think a five or six-year-old child thinks more than an adult?"
Song Yao remained silent. How could she not think too much about it?
Her own mother had eloped with a man in the village, and she was not his father's biological son. Even if Grandma did not say anything, the others in the village would inevitably run to Little Hu and gossip.
What did a five-year-old child like him do wrong?
Song Yao said, "You should coax him more. I think he won't feel good either."
Song Lan sighed again. "Wu Xia has been married to my son for so many years, and we haven't mistreated her.. How can she be so heartless?"

Chapter 162: Aunt Is Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Lan held Song Yao's hand and said, "Actually, I understand everything you've told me. Although Little Hu is young, he knows in his heart that although he's not my biological grandson, he's been raised by me for so many years and I have grown attached to him. I'm still the same as before."
"This time, your Brother Sun Nan bumped into Wu Xia in Pengcheng. I even specially told your Brother Sun Nan to remember to help her if there's anything. After all, she's been with Sun Hao for so many years."
Song Yao frowned and felt that her Auntie was too kind.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard a dog barking outside the door.
Right on the heels of that, a sharp female voice sounded from outside the courtyard. "Whose dog is this? How uncultured! Quickly call your master out!"
Song Yao's face darkened. She didn't need to think to know who had come to her house.
"If it weren't for the fact that I was busy visiting my relatives during the New Year, do you really think I would want to come to this lousy place where rabbits don't shit?! You even said that you would move to a town! This lousy place isn't much better than the countryside... Even the dogs in the countryside are so uneducated!"
Hearing this, Song Lan's expression darkened.
"Why is your aunt free to visit your relatives this year?
Song Yao's expression was ugly. "I heard that I found a partner and wanted to come over to take a look."
With that, she stood up and went out the door.
Outside the courtyard, Song Yao's aunt, Gu Fang, was wearing a woolen coat. She was in a sorry state as she pointed at the big yellow dog outside Liu Mu's house and cursed. Beside her stood her cousin, Chen Huan, and her uncle, Chen Feng.
Wang Hong heard someone scolding her dog in the courtyard and came out of the house to argue with Gu Fang.
"Sister, my dog is on a leash, but it barked twice at the place you passed. You're already an adult, why are you arguing with a dog?"
"Arguing with a dog? So what if I'm arguing with a dog today! As expected of a country bumpkin with no manners and bad taste! Your dog is disturbing me, do you know that? It's already good enough that I didn't look for you to compensate me!"
This was also the first time Wang Hong had seen such a shameless person. She placed her hands on her waist and wanted to quarrel with Gu Fang. "I have no manners? Who is the one with no manners? A country bumpkin? If you look down on country bumpkins, don't come to the countryside! Why are you so arrogant all day long? Do you believe that I'll get my son to chase you out of town?"
"You still dare to threaten me, right?" Hearing this, Gu Fang became even angrier and reached out to grab Wang Hong's hair.
Wang Hong did not give in and pushed her down in a few moves.
By the time Song Yao left the courtyard, Gu Fang had already been pushed against the wall. She gritted her teeth and climbed up from the wall, wanting to scratcha Wang Hong's face.
Song Yao went up to her. "Aunt, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
As soon as she saw Song Yao come out, Gu Fang immediately covered her mouth and nose. "It's true that rural people have never been to the city. Such harsh conditions are considered the best in your eyes, right?"
Song Yao ignored Gu Fang with a dark expression. She walked to Wang Hong and apologized to her. "Aunt, I'm really sorry. My relative has caused you trouble. I'll get Xiao to send two catties of brown sugar to you later!"
Unexpectedly, this shrew was actually Song Yao's relative. Wang Hong smiled and said, "It's fine! You're about to get married. It's only right for a few relatives to visit..
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Fang. "It's my fault. If a dog bites, can a human bite a dog?"
After saying that, she patted Song Yao's hand. "Alright, happy marriage! There's no need for brown sugar. When your family is busy in two days, just leave some meatballs for me."
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she returned to her courtyard. Gu Fang stared at Wang Hong's departing figure and was even more furious.
"Who are you working with? I'm your aunt! How dare you speak up for an outsider!"
Song Yao's face was still dark. "Alright! Go in. My mother has been waiting for you for half a day!"
Gu Fang rolled her eyes in Song Yao's direction and cursed in her heart. Poor thing! If I didn't have something to ask of you, I wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place!
Her husband, Chen Feng, followed her into the courtyard.
Song Yao's small courtyard had been meticulously designed by Song Yao. There was a greenhouse at the side of the courtyard, and it was filled with flowers and plants that Gu Fang could not name. There was an oven in the middle.
As soon as she entered, her cousin, Chen Huan, smelled the pleasant smell of roasted mutton.
"Mom! Why do I smell mutton?"
Chen Huan was puzzled. She remembered her mother saying that her aunt from the countryside was a country bumpkin and poor villager. She usually could not even eat an egg, let alone mutton, which was a good thing that she usually could not eat much..

Chapter 163: Looking Down
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Fang was also puzzled. If she guessed correctly, Song Yao had just gotten a divorce not long ago. Even if she did business later, Gu Fang probably wouldn't be able to earn much money.
How good could a woman who had been abandoned by a man live? No matter how capable a woman was, could she earn more than a man?
She rolled her eyes and said, "How can their family eat mutton? If you ask me, they must have borrowed mutton oil from someone else!"
Chen Huan also felt that it made sense. After all, her cousin from the countryside was a pitiful countryside woman who had been abandoned by her husband. She was Miss Delicate, who had grown up in the city. She could do whatever she wanted and was about to take the college entrance examination.
In her mother's words, she was a little princess at the top of the pyramid, while Song Yao was just a country bumpkin! How could she compare to her?
The few of them entered the room arrogantly, but they were completely dumbfounded.
The overall layout of the house was a typical minimalist chic style. It was divided into two floors.
The sofa on the first floor was soft, as if it was made overseas! There were also soda and imported nut stir-fried goods on the coffee table!
She looked up and saw a 14-inch imported color television in front of her!
In such an environment, not to mention in town, it could be considered a house of one of the richest families even in the county!
This was completely unlike the rural environment that Chen Feng had imagined.
The layout of the second floor was also very simple. Due to the fact that there were too many rooms, Chen Feng did not dare to open the door to take a look. However, from the outside, the security here did not seem like the dirty and disheved Gu Li's house that his wife had mentioned!
He sat on the sofa and ate a handful of melon seeds. He leaned close to Gu Fang's ear and asked, "Did your sister become rich? I remember that we didn't say this the last time we went?"
After all, the last time they came to visit their relatives was when Song Yao married Yu Yong. At that time, the couple came to eat and happened to be in time for Gu Li'S house to be renovated and freshly painted with cement.
Therefore, it left a stereotype of Gu Fang and Chen Feng!
Gu Fang rolled her eyes. "Who knows how this house came about? Who knows if they rented a model house in town to reassure us?"
Gu Fang did not believe that a country bumpkin could live in such a good house.
Song Yao had already made them a bowl of wheat milk.
Chen Huan stared at the food in the bowl and frowned. "Song Yao, I heard that you've been staying at your mother's house ever since you divorced Yu Yong?"
Song Yao did not argue with Chen Huan, who did not know how to be polite. She smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Oh dear! Why did you get a divorce out of the blue?!"
Gu Fang interrupted, "It's not that I want to criticize you, but you're uncultured and incapable. How are you going to support yourself if you get a divorce?"
Song Yao's face was cold. It was obvious that she was already used to these words. Moreover, she also understood that her aunt, Gu Fang, was such a sarcastic person.
There was nothing to explain to such a person.
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Fang became smug. "You said that you're doing a small business. No matter how much this woman earns, can she compare to a man?"
After saying that, she even rolled her eyes at Song Yao. "Of course, I'm not saying that women can't earn money. It's just that you can't keep up with your status when you do small business, right?"
She looked at Song Yao from head to toe and felt that her niece was not bad-looking. It was a pity that she had a bad life and had a second marriage. Otherwise, she would have lived a good life finding a rich man in Xiangjiang!
"By the way! You're getting married on the fifteenth of January, right?"
Gu Fang pursed her lips after saying that. "Why do you have to do this? You let go of such a good man like Yu Yong and don't have to find a poor job! I heard that your new partner sells cigarettes?
She smiled again. "You'd fall for a man like that?"
Song Yao was a little puzzled. How did the leader of the Tobacco Bureau become a cigarette seller?
But this really could not be entirely Gu Fang's fault!
Back then, when Gu Li called them to inform them, Gu Li said that Zuo Huo was a small leader of the Tobacco Bureau. Gu Fang thought that she had heard wrongly and kept asking Gu Li.
Gu Li was annoyed by the question and left a sentence. "Smoke seller! About the same!"
But how could Zuo Huo sell cigarettes? He was clearly different from that!
Song Yao said coldly, "Zuo Huo doesn't sell cigarettes!"

Chapter 164: The Cigarette Seller
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"He's not selling cigarettes? Then what is he selling?" Gu Fang was amused when she heard this.
Song Yao was a country bumpkin and divorcee. What good partner could she find? Even a cigarette seller was out of her league, right?
"Child! It's not that I want to criticize you, but your taste in men is too poor! Why didn't you seek refuge with me when you got a divorce back then? I'll introduce you to the rich people in the city. I guarantee that I won't let you suffer!"
That was what she said, but Gu Fang knew in her heart that why would the rich people in the city like Song Yao? If they stuffed her into the hair shampoo room and made her their maid, it would still be out of her league, right?
Song Xiao, who was passing by with red braised pork, was immediately unhappy when he heard this. "Don't be ridiculous! Rely on you? Then you might as well rely on the sow to climb the tree!" Gu Fang immediately flew into a rage. "This country bumpkin really has no manners! I'm your aunt!" After saying that, she wanted to hit Song Xiao.
Song Xiao was not afraid of him. Instead, he stretched his face over and said, "Hit me! Hit me here! Anyway, I'm telling the truth! You know better than anyone how Uncle died back then! Now, you're still hypocritically standing up to help my sister? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" "You brat! You're really rebelling! Gu Fang was about to hit Song Xiao after saying this.
Gu Li happened to pass by and shielded her son behind her. 'What's going on? Why are you fighting?" Gu Fang glared at Song Xiao. "You have to discipline your son properly this time! How rude of you to speaK to your elders: "
Gu Li knew Gu Fang's character well. She pursed her lips and looked at Song Xiao. "What did you say?"
Song Xiao said, "She said that she wanted to introduce a partner to my sister! She even belittled our family... Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong!"
"Why are you spouting nonsense? When did I belittle you? I'm doing this for the sake of the two of you, okay?" After Gu Fang finished speaking, she wanted to go forward and hit him.
Gu Li stopped her and scolded Song Xiao fiercely, "Apologize to your aunt quickly!"
Song Xiao was indignant. "Why should I apologize to her? She clearly said that she didn't respect my sister first!"
Gu Li rubbed her eyebrows anxiously. She was already so old, how could she not know who was right and who was wrong?
However, Gu Fang was a guest who had come from afar after all. Moreover, with Gu Fang's personality, if she really caught Song Xiao with something on him, it would only be worse!
"Apologize when I tell you to! Why are you talking so much nonsense!" After Gu Li finished speaking, she grabbed Song Xiao's neck and asked him to apologize.
Song Xiao was an adult after all. How could he stand such humiliation? He turned around and ran back.
Gu Li was so angry that she stomped her feet behind her. "You brat, come back quickly!"
"That's enough! Isn't he just a young boy?"
Chen Feng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "He can't have any great achievements in the future. Just let him be."
Gu Li's expression was very ugly. If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have let her girl come back. Now, she had even provoked her son.
"Who are you calling useless in the future?" Song Ping happened to enter and was furious when he heard this conversation.
To be honest, he did not welcome Gu Fang's family the most.
Back then, he and Gu Li had a good life. It was because of Gu Fang, his sister-in-law, that they quarreled a lot.
Now that he heard Chen Feng scolding his son, Song Ping was even angrier.
"Woman, what are you doing all day long? Why are you asking our child to apologize during the new year? Go back and cook obediently!"
Song Ping's words seemed to be directed at Gu Li, but in reality, he was warning Gu Fang and Chen Feng to speak less!
As expected, their faces darkened. Gu Fang pulled Gu Li over. "Brother-in-law, don't say that. My sister has worked hard to marry you for so many years, right?"
Song Ping's face darkened. He said, "Our family's matters don't need outsiders to interfere!" Then, he left in a hurry.
Gu Fang was so angry that she glared in Song Ping's direction.
"What's the big deal?"
She pulled Gu Li and said, "Don't worry. When I go back, I'll let you divorce your Song Ping. I'll find you a rich man in the city!"
Gu Li was also furious. She pushed Gu Fang away angrily. "There's no need. My life is quite good now!"
Seeing that her hope had been dashed, Gu Fang was a little angry. "How can you do this? I'm doing this for your own good.."

Chapter 165: Showing Off
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When it was time to eat, a large family of relatives gathered around a round table that could accommodate more than ten people.
Considering that there were guests coming today, Gu Li was busy preparing food early in the morning.
There was red braised pork, roasted lamb leg, steamed carp, spicy stir-fried clams, meatballs, cold cucumber shreds, and stewed pork ribs with beans. They were all formidable dishes that could impress many!
Song Feng brought Wei to the table, but he didn't greet Gu Fang.
Gu Fang could not be bothered with Song Feng, her sister-in-law.
In her eyes, Song Feng was just a stinky worker working in a factory. If word got out, he would have no dignity at all.
However, this table of good food completely stunned Gu Fang's family!
If the house was rented, what about this table of food? Could it be that he had borrowed money to buy them?
In this day and age, lamb legs and pork ribs were expensive! Even a rich businessman like Gu Fang could not eat pork ribs at any time!
"Isn't Song Yao's wedding on the 15th of the first month? Why is it pushed early? She even prepared such a large table of good wine and dishes. The money she earned in a year has been used to buy groceries, right?"
Gu Fang's words were sharp and unkind. Not to mention Song Feng, even her aunt, Song Lan, did not like to listen.
In the end, Gu Li said with a dark expression, "What do you mean pushed early? Shouldn't we have a good meal on the second day of the Lunar New Year?"
Gu Fang said, "We should eat a good meal, but we can't eat like this, can we? My brother-in-law, Son Ping, can only earn so little money after working in the fields for an entire year. If we use it all on food, what will happen to our future?"
"Don't worry, we won't be poor." Song Yao sneered. "Our family doesn't lack the money for this meal. Moreover, these are just home-cooked dishes. Why? Does Aunt's family have to spend a year's salary to eat these dishes?"
"Song Yao!" Gu Fang gritted her teeth in anger.
In the end, it was Chen Feng who pulled her back. "What do you have to say to an uncultured girl?"
"That's right!" Gu Fang smiled. "Song Yao is a wild girl who hasn't even taken the college entrance examination. I don't expect her to have high standards! After all, our Huanhuan is a third-year student in the county's No. 1 Middle School. She'll be taking the college entrance examination next year!"
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she gave Chen Huan a look.
Chen Huan immediately understood. She cleared his throat and said, "Our form teacher said that I scored more than 400 points in the midterm college entrance examination! It's not a problem for me to go to university!"
Chen Feng continued his daughter's words. "My daughter wants to get into the capital's teacher training college in the future and become an outstanding teacher!"
No one answered at the table.
Gu Fang's expression was even uglier. She knew that today was Song Yao's home ground, but so what Could her daughter not compare to Song Yao, that uncultured and vulgar wild girl?
"My daughter is going to university in the future! Even if she gets married, she has to marry the most eligible man! She can't just find a cigarette dealer and marry him directly! How embarrassing is that?
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Li. "Sister, your life is really tough. Not only did your daughter get a divorce, but she also found a poor person for her second marriage. Her youngest son probably won't do well in the future... We're different. I own a big restaurant in the county. My usual job is to take care of those young ladies who come to work. I earn a lot. Why is the difference between people so big?"
"But don't worry." Gu Fang held Gu Li's hand and said with a smile, "As your biological sister, I definitely have to help you! Including Yao and Sister-in-law. If anyone in your family can't find a job, I can help arrange it!"
Gu Fang smiled smugly and thought to herself, 'Since I've already said so, won't you people rush over to thank me?'
However, Gu Li's expression was especially ugly. She said with a dark expression, "There's no need!"
"How can we not use it? Which family's conditions are better than ours?"
Gu Fang smiled and said, "My good sister, stop pretending! I know you care about your face, so you spent more than a year's salary to make such a big table of dishes and rented such a good house to welcome us over! I know all of this! But Sister, can you stop puffing yourself up at your own cost? I know how your life is. Even if your life isn't good, I won't despise you!"
Song Yao just smiled and didn't say anything!
Originally, there was nothing to say to someone like Gu Fang who liked to show off, but Gu Fang's words were really too piercing! It was so piercing that she could not listen to it at all!
"Aunt, where are you opening a restaurant? Tell me your name." Song Yao asked, "Also, you said that Cousin plans to enter the capital's Teacher's College? But if I'm not wrong, you won't be able to enter that university with your score right now.."

Chapter 166: Brother-in-law
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Song Yao! How can you say that! Which university I want to enter is not something a person like you who has never entered the examination hall can say?" Chen Huan said.
"Exactly!"
Gu Fang echoed her daughter's words. "You're just a wild girl who hasn't studied much. Do you know what a cutoff score is? Why can't our Huanhuan get into university?"
As she said this, Gu Fang also felt guilty. In fact, with Chen Huan's results, it was already a blessing to be able to get into a university.
But so what? Wasn't a community college already a college? No matter what, it was still better than Song Yao, a wild girl who had not studied for many years!
She put her hands on her hips and said, "No matter how good our Huanhuan is, you can't compare to her!"
Song Xiao gritted his teeth in anger when he heard this. If possible, he really wanted to throw his sister's paper with a score of more than 700 points in Chen Huan's face and let them see what a qualified top student was!
Gu Fang smiled. Seeing that no one was talking about her at the dining table, she quickly changed the topic. "We've been talking for so long, but why haven't I seen Song Yao's partner? I heard that he's a peddler selling cigarettes? How can she fancy such a person? But don't worry, when they get married in the future, you can come to the county to look for me if you need anything!"
Gu Fang was patting her chest and promising to protect Song Yao's family when she heard a voice outside the door.
A tall, handsome man came down from the second floor.
Chen Huan was dumbfounded. Not only was this man handsome, but even his clothes were of expensive brands!
Chen Huan's heart was already racing when she saw such a man!
She stood up and said to the man in front of her with a red face, "Hello, my name is Chen Huan. Are you... a guest of Eldest Aunt's family?"
However, Zuo Huo ignored Chen Huan!
He sat down beside Song Yao and said to Gu Li in embarrassment, "Aunt Gu, I'm sorry. I slept too soundly just now. I made you wait for me for so long."
Gu Li smiled. "It's fine. I can't bear to wake you up. You and Yao stayed up all night last night. It's only right for you to sleep more today."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Li looked at the others at the table. "Alright, everyone is here.
Let's eat."
"Wait!" Chen Huan interrupted Gu Li, his eyes fixed on Zuo Huo.
She pointed at Zuo Huo and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself." Zuo Huo stood up. "My name is Zuo Huo. I'm Song Yao's fiancé. You should be Yao's aunt's family, right?"
The man's tone was polite and distant, and no one could find any fault with it.
Gu Fang and her husband were dumbfounded.
This was impossible! A man who looked so well-educated could not be a small vendor! It seemed that he was just a vase!
Chen Huan stomped her feet in anger! How did such a good-looking man like Song Yao?
Especially when she saw that Zuo Huo had been taking care of Song Yao during the meal, Chen Huan was so angry that she almost flipped the table on the spot!
Gu Fang also knew that her daughter was throwing a tantrum. She hurriedly picked up a piece of pork rib for her and fed it to her. She couldn't help but say, "What's the use of being good-looking? Aren't you still a bumpkin who sells cigarettes?"
Chen Huan pouted. Why was it useless to be good-looking? What was wrong with selling cigarettes?
"It's fine as long as our family is rich." This man was so good-looking. Not to mention selling cigarettes, even she, Chen Huan, who picked up trash, wanted him!
Hearing her daughter's words, Gu Fang was furious. "Are you considered a college student? How can you be entangled with a cigarette seller!"
Chen Huan puffed up his cheeks. What was wrong with selling cigarettes? His family still sold alcohol. Didn't they earn a lot of money?
Anyway, she had taken a fancy to Zuo Huo!
At the thought of this, Chen Huan poured herself a glass of soda and stood up. "Brother Zuo Huo, hello, I'm your cousin. My name is Chen Huan. It's our first time meeting. Let me toast you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned!
One had to know that Zuo Huo was Song Yao's boyfriend! Who would believe that Chen Huan would stand up and toast her future brother-in-law without any ill intentions?
Song Yao's expression was even more unsightly. She did not expect Chen Huan to actually want to snatch her man!
Zuo Huo was even more confused! However, he and Song Yao were about to get married after all. No matter what, he had to give Song Yao's relatives some face.
Thinking of this, Zuo Huo stood up but did not return Chen Huan's toast.
He said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a cousin at home, so you shouldn't be toasting me with this glass of wine. Also, Song Yao is my wife and you're Song Yao's cousin, so it's not appropriate for you to call me by my full name. You should just call me brother-in-law.."

Chapter 167: Humiliation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present could not help but laugh.
Chen Huan had really lost face this time!
Even Gu Li, who had always cared about her reputation, could not help but say, "Is this the good upbringing of you city people?"
Gu Fang's expression was ugly. Chen Huan had lost face today, causing her originally arrogant aura to instantly fade a little!
She gritted her teeth and pulled Chen Huan to sit down. She smiled and said, "Our Huanhuan is still young. It's understandable for her to like handsome men at this age."
After saying that, she looked at Zuo Huo, who was beside Song Yao. "But it's indeed useful to be good-looking. At least we can keep her for a relationship or something. If she really gets married, let's forget about an unorthodox job like a vendor, right?"
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she smiled and asked Song Yao, "How much can you earn on average every month with your partner? Do you earn 30 yuan?"
"Aunt!" Song Yao shouted, startling Gu Fang.
"What are you trying to do, child? I'm just asking! If you don't want to answer, don't."
Song Yao's face was cold. "Aunt, this is our family's matter. I don't think you have to worry about it, right? Let's ask you. You said that you opened a restaurant in the county. Then tell me what the name of the restaurant is.'
"You make it sound like you can go if I say so!"
Gu Fang rolled her eyes. "If I'm not wrong, you might not have even been to the county, right? But that's true. It's normal for a frog at the bottom of the well like you to not have seen the world!"
She laughed for a long time. "Since you've found someone who sell cigarettes, your life in the future will be better. Don't get a divorce again. When the time comes, I won't be able to help you anymore! "
Zuo Huo was still curious about when he became a cigarette seller, but when he thought of Song Yao's aunt and her family, he shook his head and did not deny it.
Chen Feng pulled a long face as well. "Song Yao! You don't have to argue in front of your aunt! What your aunt said is for your own good! Don't be unwilling to listen! Tell me how difficult it is for you to do business yourself! Fortunately, with our help now, your life will be much better."
Gu Fang continued, "After you get married, don't set up a stall to earn money. Just come to our restaurant to work! Not only will you earn a lot, but you can also take care of your relatives
It seemed that this was the main reason why Gu Fang took the initiative to contact Gu Li!
Song Yao sneered. "There's no need. It's not like I don't know how to earn money! If you really have the spare money, pay off your debt to Aunt as soon as possible. "
Gu Fang and Chen Feng's expressions were unsightly. Back then, Gu Fang had cried and knelt before Song Feng to beg him to write a letter of understanding. Song Feng had refused no matter what. In the end, Gu Fang had simply taken advantage of the loophole and used her identity as Song Feng's sister -in-law to write a letter of understanding. Even though Chen Feng had only been sentenced to five years, the two of them still owed Song Feng a total of 100 ,ooo yuan!
Even after so many years, Chen Feng had only returned 20,000 yuan.
Gu Fang's expression was ugly. The corners of her lips twitched as she said, "There's no hurry to return the money. Sister-in-law, don't worry. When I have the money, I'll definitely return it to you immediately!"
"No need." Song Feng's face darkened. "If you really want to pay it back, go and pay with your life."
These words shocked Gu Fang. She stood up and said, "Sister-in-law! Don't seem like you want to do this the hard way! Aren't I sad that I don't have my brother? I'm sadder than any of you! But Big Brother has been gone for so many years. Let bygones be bygones, right?"
"In the past? Ha, I'll never be able to get over it!" Song Feng's eyes were red. "You care about your brother? I think you care about your man, right? If you really care about your brother! Why didn't you come back to pay your respects at your brother's funeral?! How many times have you come back after so many years? Your brother is really unlucky to have a sister like you!"
"Say that again!" Hearing this, Gu Fang was even angrier. She went up to grab Song Feng.
Song Feng was not afraid of her. In the end, it was Song Yao and Gu Li who stopped them!
"Aunt! If you say that again, go back to where you belong! You shouldn't be here!" Song Yao said angrily..

Chapter 168: Losing Money Instead of Getting It
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"You're really rebellious!" Gu Fang raised her hand to slap Song Yao, but she was stopped by Zuo Huo.
"Little Aunt! Are you going to hit Song Yao?" The man's aura was so strong that not to mention Gu Fang, even Chen Feng was shocked.
"What's wrong? This is our family matter! It's none of your business!"
After saying that, she wanted to break free from Zuo Huo's hand, but Zuo Huo was quite strong. Gu Fang tried for a long time but could not push him away!
The man frowned. "If you want to hit Song Yao, it'S my business! Don't forget that you still owe a life!" Zuo Huo's threatening tone sounded in Gu Fang's ears. Gu Fang was so frightened that she shivered.
It had to be said that this man's aura was too strong. A cigarette vendor? Who would believe this? He looked like a police officer at least!
Chen Huan was even more stunned by Zuo Huo.
This man was too handsome. He was even more handsome than the celebrities in television dramas. He was simply her dream lover!
"Mom!" Chen Huan went forward and tugged at Gu Fang's other sleeve. "Let's go back quickly. Don't make a fool of ourselves here."
Gu Fang glanced at Chen Huan. On the one hand, she really couldn't win against Zuo Huo. On the other hand, she felt that she had really lost face today.
The corners of her mouth twitched as she said, "Then let's go back first!"
With that, the family left dejectedly.
Song Feng stared at their family coldly. "How heartless! Her brother treated her so well when he was alive. What an ungrateful family."
Gu Li patted Song Feng's shoulder. "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Let's eat quickly and not lower ourselves to their level."
Song Feng sighed and sat down to continue eating.
However, she had something on her mind and could not eat it no matter what.
At night, Zuo Huo drove Song Feng and Wei back to the county. Then, he drove back to Song Yao's house alone.
Unexpectedly, just as he parked the car at the entrance of the courtyard, he heard some commotion in the grass.
As a former soldier, Zuo Huo was very sensitive to such sounds.
"Who is it!"
"It's me..." Chen Huan crawled out of the grass dejectedly.
Zuo Huo's face darkened. He did not look at Chen Huan again and planned to return to the courtyard.
Chen Huan gritted her teeth. Seeing that the man she was about to get was going to look for Song Yao, that poor country bumpkin, she stomped her feet in anger!
"Wait a minute! I have something to tell you about Song Yao!" she shouted.
"What is it?" The man's voice was very cold. He did not even turn around to look at her.
Chen 1–luan was secretly delighted when she finally received a response. She walked to Zuo Huo with a red face. "Brother Zuo, I..."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!" Zuo Huo said.
Chen Huan did not expect him to be so cold. She felt a little sad. "Do you know about Song Yao's divorce?"
Zuo Huo frowned and thought to himself, What is this woman up to?
Seeing that Zuo Huo didn't say anything, Chen Huan thought that he didn't Imow about this. She blushed and continued, "Let me tell you a secret. My cousin is divorced. She divorced her ex-husband because she was too promiscuous and liked another man! Also, my cousin even gave birth to a child for that man. You don't know any of this, right?" Zuo Huo remained silent.
Chen Huan felt even more pleased with herself.
She continued, "That's fine. She's a divorcee from a village and doesn't have much education. No matter where she goes, she'll be despised. She doesn't earn much from setting up a stall and doesn't have much future. Why should you be with such a person?"
Zuo Huo's face darkened. "So, what do you want to tell me?"
Chen Huan blushed. "Actually, it's nothing. After all, I'm a good girl. I just can't stand my cousin's actions. Moreover, my family is very rich. My monthly living expenses are more than 20 yuan..." Chen Huan paused for a moment before continuing, "So, I want you to be my boyfriend!"
Zuo Hu0'S face was expressionless.
Chen Huan continued, "I'm rich, beautiful, and have a higher educational background than Song Yao. I think you're good-looking. Although you're a stall owner, I don't mind. As long as you're with me, I'll agree to anything!"
Chen Huan felt much better after saying it in one breath with a red face.
She did not believe that Zuo Huo would forgo a beautiful young lady like her marry a rural woman!
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no reaction from Zuo Huo. She blushed and said, "Have you thought about it?"
There was still no answer.
Chen Huan opened her eyes anxiously, but to her surprise, the Zuo Huo in front of her had long disappeared!
Her cousin was looking at her with a smile.. "Continue? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Chapter 169: Embarrassed Again
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Thinking about how Song Yao had heard her confession just now, Chen Huan wished she could find a hole to hide in!
"Why are you here?! Where's Brother Zuo Huo?!"
Song Yao sneered. "Why? Are you so concerned about my partner?"
Chen Huan's face turned red. "What does it have to do with you?! Hurry up and call Brother Zuo Huo out!"
After Chen Huan finished speaking, she wanted to push Song Yao away and run into the house to see Zuo Huo, but she was stopped by Song Yao.
"Do you know who Zuo Huo is dating?" Song Yao asked.
Chen Huan said, "Of course I know! But so what? You're not married now! It's his freedom to be with whoever he wants!"
"Is that so?" Song Yao sneered. "Then what makes you think that Zuo Huo will abandon me and leave with you?"
This was the first time she had seen a third party speak so self-righteously!
"Why not? I'm younger and prettier than you! I'm also more educated than you! Why don't you take a look at how you can compare to me? Brother Zuo Huo is really blind to choose you!"
' Song Yao's expression was ugly. Facing an idiot like Chen Huan, Song Yao really did not know what to say for a moment.
"Do you think Zuo Huo will like you just because you're prettier than me?" she asked.
"Of course!" Chen Huan raised his neck proudly.
Her mother had told her that a woman's youth and beauty were always the most valuable things on her! No matter what kind of man he was, he would not know where to start when facing a beautiful woman.
As for Chen Huan, he had been raised like a little princess by Gu Fang since she was young. Whether it was her temperament or looks, they were not something ordinary people could compare to.
"If we stand together, who do you think is prettier?"
"I only have eyes for Song Yao!" As they spoke, Zuo Huo walked up to Chen Huan and hugged Song Yao's waist in front of her.
Chen Huan was stung by this scene. She had come here to look for him without telling her family, but he had actually humiliated her with Song Yao!
Chen Huan felt like she was going crazy!
"Why?! I'm clearly much prettier than Song Yao!" she asked.
"No reason!" Zuo Huo turned his head away and did not look at Chen Huan. "I don't like you. You should give up as soon as possible!"
"Brother Zuo Huo! Do you really have to be so heartless?" Chen Huan was so anxious that her eyes were red from crying.
She subconsciously wanted to go forward and pull Zuo Huo's arm, but she was interrupted by a figure. She turned around and saw Gu Fang in her pajamas rushing towards her angrily!
"You brat! I didn't expect you to come here to see him! What did I tell you? It doesn't matter if a man is good-looking or not! Why can't you listen?"
Chen Huan almost cried. "But the men you introduced to me are uglier than the other! Why can a divorced country woman like Song Yao find such a good-looking man while I can't? Besides, didn't you say that even if Song Yao gets married, she won't be able to escape your claws?! You even said that you wanted her to accompany that old..."
"Shut up!" Perhaps she was worried that her daughter would lose control of her emotions and say something she shouldn't say, Gu Fang was so angry that she slapped Chen Huan hard.
Chen Huan could not react in time. "How dare you hit me? I've been so old! This is the first time you've hit me like this!"
After Chen Huan finished speaking, she left angrily with red eyes.
She had lost so much face in front of Song Yao! Gu Fang was flustered!
She chased after her daughter and said, "Huanhuan, listen to Mom! I didn't do it on purpose!"
After witnessing this ridiculous farce with her own eyes, Song Yao pulled Zuo Huo back to her room.
"Section Chief Zuo is really charming. From married women to young girls who have their first awakening of love, they can't forget you!"
Zuo Huo was amused by Song Yao's words. "Why? Are you jealous?"
Song Yao: "How would I dare? It's my blessing that Section Chief Zuo took a fancy to me. How would I dare..."
Before she could finish, Zuo Huo pulled her into his arms.
Looking at Zuo Huo at such a close distance, Song Yao could not help but think of the two of them kissing last night.
She blushed and said, "Let go of me!"
The man smiled and kissed the corner of Song Yao's lips.
This kiss was different from the usual gentleness. It seemed to have a domineering taste.
He kissed Song Yao's mouth, and his hands became naughty. Just as he was about to unbutton Song Yao's shirt, Song Yao pushed him away.
"No way!"
She blushed.. "We're not even married!"

Chapter 170: Scheme
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zuo Huo stared at Song Yao, whose lips were red from his kiss. He had no choice but to suppress his desire and whispered into Song Yao's ear, "It's okay, I'm willing to wait!"
Song Yao pushed him away with a red face. "You should go back and sleep early..."
Zuo Huo also knew that Song Yao was shy, so he smiled. "Then I'll go back first!"
Song Yao kissed him on the cheek. "Okay, go back first. I'll miss you tonight!"
Zuo Huo smiled and was very satisfied with Song Yao's words.
"Then I'll come and find you tomorrow!"
After the man finished speaking, he got into the car and drove in the direction of the only guesthouse in town.
He touched the wet lipstick mark on his face and smiled.
In at most 13 days, he would no longer have to stay in the guest house!
On the other side, Gu Fang chased after Chen Huan for a long time before catching up.
She grabbed her daughter's hand and coaxed, "My Huanhuan! Don't be angry! I'm just afraid that you'll say something you shouldn't say."
Chen Huan wiped her tears and stopped in her tracks. "You're still talking about me. Don't forget why you're here this time! Do you really want Song Yao to marry Brother Zuo Huo?"
"What else can I do? She's about to get engaged. How can I stop her? Besides, the boss doesn't care if Song Yao is married or not!"
She pulled Chen Huan and said, "Besides, didn't Zuo Huo just say that he sells cigarettes? What's the use of being good-looking?! Do you have to keep thinking about him like this? When you get into university! Can you find any man you want?"
Chen Huan was so anxious that she stomped her feet on the spot. The moment she thought that such a handsome man was Song Yao's, she gritted her teeth in anger!
Gu Fang also knew that her daughter was not feeling good. She pulled her and advised, "If you don't want to sleep with that old man, listen to me. How can I not find a good man?"
Chen Huan's eyes were red. Thinking of that greasy and disgusting old man, she gritted her teeth and nodded. "Mom, I'll listen to you!"
The mother and daughter returned to the hotel. Chen Feng was sitting on the sofa drinking tea. When he saw Chen Huan return, he was so angry that he gave her a tight slap.
"You actually dare to go out and find a man in the middle of the night? Have your wings hardened?"
"Enough! I've already taught her a lesson! Don't say so much!" After Gu Fang finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Chen Huan to the side and said to Chen Feng, "This matter is Huanhuan's fault, but in the end, it's all your fault, isn't it? If you hadn't gone to Haojiang and owed so much money in gambling debts, our Huanhuan wouldn't have been forced to use her body to repay her debts! Isn't this your fault!"
At the mention of this, Chen Feng nodded guiltily. He held Gu Fang's hand and said, "Don't worry.
Even if I have to sell everything, I won't really let our Huanhuan accompany Boss Zhang."
"It's good that you know!" Gu Fang wiped her tears and continued, "I'll persuade Song Yao tomorrow! After all, she's a village girl who hasn't seen much of the world! It's her blessing that the big boss likes her!"
Chen Feng nodded as well. Song Yao was indeed good-looking.
Although it was not honorable to be divorced, the big boss only wanted to find a mistress to play with. He did not care if she was innocent or not.
Moreover, it wasn't that Chen Feng didn't want to send Chen Huan to the big boss's bed. It was just that his daughter had been spoiled too much over the years. If she really became Boss Zhang's mistress, it was hard to say if it would be a blessing or a curse.
If things went wrong and his little princess had provoked Boss Zhang, their entire family would be buried with him!
Thinking of this, Chen Feng sighed and said, "Mhm. Tomorrow, you should properly persuade Song
Yao."
"Don't worry." Gu Fang raised her eyebrows at Chen Feng. "Look at who I am! There are so many girls in our Mom's restaurant. Which one of them wasn't persuaded by me to stay?"
At the mention of this, Gu Fang puffed out her chest. She and her sister, Gu Li, were both from the countryside. Why was she so rich now? Wasn't she relying on her methods to climb up the ranks?
She smiled and said, "It's my bad attitude today.. I'll apologize to her tomorrow and try to send Song Yao to Boss Zhang's bed after their wedding!"
