Chapter 212: Chapter 208: Zhang Family Wedding, Zhang Shihua Embarrasses Himself Again

The harvest today is quite bountiful, and Wen Ran is starting to have mischievous plans.

Indeed.

She’s planning to slack off again!

During the autumn harvest, she didn’t go to the fields but instead chased birds in the drying grounds and caught quite a few birds for the team to enjoy as a snack.

However, during the spring plowing, there’s no drying ground for her to procrastinate on.

Wen Ran originally planned to feign illness, though it seemed shameless, she truly didn’t want to go to the fields.

It’s just that the excuse was somewhat flimsy, everyone knew that Wen Ran was as healthy as a bull.

Now it’s all good, no need for grief or sadness.

The real bull has arrived!

Wen Ran decided to go up the mountain in a couple of days to catch a bull and use it for labor.

If the bull works, she doesn’t have to!

That night, Wen Ran ate to her heart’s content.

The next day, Mrs. Xiao indeed made beef buns, although the beef was only eaten at home, taking it out would be difficult to explain its origin.

After eating and drinking, Wen Ran planned to go up the mountain to catch a bull, but Zhang Weihong and Zhang Shihua came.

“We’ve registered,” Zhang Weihong eagerly shared the good news with Wen Ran, “His name is changed too, and I’ve moved the household registration to our team.”

Wen Ran: “!”

How many days has it been!

Never expected the Zhang Family to work so efficiently.

“That’s impressive,” Wen Ran praised, “Their efficiency is truly remarkable.”

“We wanted to hold the banquet before the spring plowing.”

Wen Ran was contemplating going up the mountain to catch a bull and casually said, “Sure, the sooner the better.”

Zhang Shihua was staying long-term at the team leader’s house; it wasn’t ideal to continue like this. It was better to hold the banquet early and for the family to live together conveniently.

“By the way,” Wen Ran curiously asked, “When do you plan to hold it?”

“Tomorrow.”

Wen Ran: “…”

I know you’re in a hurry, but calm down.

Is it so sudden?

“To-tomorrow?” Wen Ran cursed inwardly. Damn it, they’ve already promised she’d be the master of ceremonies, yet she hadn’t even written the speech.

If not, wouldn’t she embarrass herself?

“Yes,” Zhang Weihong said joyfully, “You’re the first one I’ve informed, so make sure to be there.”

The couple cheerfully held hands. “We’re going to find Miss Bao! She must attend too.”

“Oh~ alright.”

Wen Ran thought numbly, well, they informed her first, what was there to be angry about?

That day she didn’t procrastinate, went up the mountain to cut hogweed and began pondering the speech, helping Mrs. Xiao deliver a meal to the new room by noon, and resumed her contemplative task.

Not having used her brain in a long time, Wen Ran spent nearly all day, focusing to write a heart-wrenching speech.

Praising love.

Ensuring that once heard, everyone falls silent.

Sobbing, shedding tears.

Of course, if Wen Ran knew the couple could stir up so much drama, she would’ve felt writing even a single word was a waste of time and emotion.

Zhang Chongxin was quite respected in the team, plus with the son-in-law moving in and changing his surname, many came to see the spectacle that day.

The Chu Family also came, standing in the yard, and couldn’t fit.

The younger ones were chased out by their parents.

The brothers were miffed, huddled in a corner contemplating building a new house for the Zhang Family.

The Chu Family was wealthy, plus Zhang Weihong’s status as the sole daughter of the Chu Family.

Yes, very high quality indeed.

Moreover, hearing that the Xiao Family was building a large tile-roofed house, the brothers exchanged glances and directly approached Zhang Chongxin.

Zhang Chongxin was straightforward and immediately decided, their family would also build a house.

A large tile-roofed house with blue bricks.

The Chu Family was quick, “We’ll cover half of this house.”

“No need, I’ve got it…”

“What you have is yours with my sister,” Chu He waved his hand, “Our family’s contribution is specifically for my sister.”

That’s confidence.

The house affair wasn’t yet settled when wailing noises came from inside.

The Chu Family was bewildered, Zhang Chongxin’s heart skipped a beat, feeling the dread of being controlled by Zhang Shihua suddenly engulfed him.

Finished.

That was a major embarrassment.

In the crowd, Zhang Shihua was clutching Mrs. Zhang’s leg, crying and sniffling, asking, “Mother, between Honghong and me, whom do you favor?”

Mrs. Zhang: “…”

Facing everyone’s stares.

She just wanted to smile and survive.

No worries, no worries, life passes quickly~

With Zhang Shihua adding fuel to his wedding, Wen Ran no longer had any role.

Just sat there and had her meal.

Ate heartily, and after packing her things left with Bao Wenxuan.

Oh dear~

You know, although it was a bit embarrassing, it was quite blissful.

Bao Wenxuan had a low laugh threshold, burst into laughter frequently on the way back.

Wen Ran feared she’d die laughing midway and drag her into it, so half-way she ditched Bao Wenxuan and quickly hurried to the Xiao Family.

Let’s say, some drama truly deserves Wen Ran’s attention.

Here, as soon as she arrived at the Xiao Family, she witnessed a major scene.

“Wuwuwuwu,” Zhong Xiaonan knelt on the ground with two children, “Father, Mother, please, just let us stay for a while.

I was wrong before, I looked down on people, but even though I’m wrong, the children shouldn’t be implicated.

The children are innocent!”

The proud Zhong Xiaonan finally lowered her head, pleading for the Xiao Family to take them in.

Mrs. Xiao’s face was grim, while Mr. Xiao remained silent.

As for Xiao Chenye, he was snacking on seeds, looking on with no sympathy, his schadenfreude nearly overflowed.

Wen Ran instantly felt excited, dashed over, “What’s happening?”

Mrs. Xiao smiled at Wen Ran, “Ranran, you’re back; how was the Zhang Family wedding today, did it go smoothly?”

“Smoothly,” Wen Ran couldn’t help but laugh when recalling the Zhang Family, “Today was quite celebratory.”

Estimating for the next half month, the topic of amusement for everyone after meals and teas would be the Zhang Family.

Hahaha, married a good son-in-law, and the entire family gained fame.

“Glad it went smoothly,” Mrs. Xiao patted her hand, “It’s chaotic outside, you go inside first.”

“Okay.”

Though she agreed verbally, Wen Ran went straight to Xiao Chenye, pulling him aside to whisper, “What’s happening?”

“It’s Xiao Chendong’s wife.”

Wen Ran suddenly realized, it seemed quite fitting.

She motioned with her mouth, “What’s the matter?”

“What else could it be,” Xiao Chenye said sarcastically, “Xiao Chendong was gambling and got himself into it, lost his job.”

Wen Ran: “?”

She was stunned, honestly, jobs in those days were indeed stable.

Unless it involved murder, arson, or rape, positions wouldn’t be lost.

Yet Xiao Chendong gambled his job away, which was rather…

Unbelievable.
