When Jiang Youtao rushed to the Agricultural Science Station, Zhong Wangcai and Yu Huimei had already arrived.
Zhong Qianxi staggered out holding a lunch box.
Seeing Zhong Wangcai and Yu Huimei, she swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "What do you want to talk to me about? Tell it to me quickly. I'm going to eat after that."
Zhong Qianxi has always had a big appetite, and the food at the Agricultural Science Station tastes good, but you have to fight for it. If you go back late, there will definitely be no food.
Zhong Qianxi, who often skipped meals during the march, was particularly obsessed with eating.
Zhong Wangcai was so angry at Zhong Qianxi's behavior that he gasped for breath. Yu Huimei was also a little unhappy and spoke in front of Zhong Wangcai.
"How dare you talk like that? You have to choose the right attitude to talk to your parents. What did your grandfather teach you?"
Not long after Zhong Qianxi was born, she was taken away by Grandpa Zhong to be raised. Yu Huimei always acted superior to Zhong Qianxi. Whenever Zhong Qianxi did something that didn't suit her taste, she would use this sentence to stop her.
Often at this time, in order not to embarrass Grandpa Zhong who raised her, Zhong Qianxi would often do as she was told.
But that was what the original Zhong Qianxi did. The current Zhong Qianxi didn't take her words to heart at all.
In her previous life, when she was marching and fighting, the words said by the enemy when they challenged her were much more heartbreaking than this. If she took everything to heart, she would have found a tree and hanged her neck on it long ago.
She stood on the stairs of the Agricultural Science Station, while Zhong Wangcai and Yu Huimei stood at the bottom. Zhong Qianxi felt that since they were elders, it was a bit rude for them to crane their necks to look at her. She would never admit that she wanted to squat because she was tired of standing.
So she squatted down to eat, and she felt much more comfortable immediately.
In response to Huimei's question, she said calmly: "Why don't you go down and ask him what my grandfather taught me? Why are you yelling at me here? You won't understand even if I tell you. You want me to teach you. I'm not a circus monkey."
Grandpa Zhong passed away last year. The adopted son Zhong Wangcai didn't even see him off to the grave. This matter was handled by the original Zhong Qianxi. If Yu Huimei could really go down and ask about it, Zhong Qianxi would think it would be good, at least it would let the original Zhong Qianxi's grandfather say a few words of criticism.
Yu Huimei was blocked by Zhong Qianxi's words. She was choked and looked very ugly.
Zhong Wangcai recovered at this time. He took a deep breath and said, "Qianxi, I know everything you did at Xiao's house today. I just went to the Xiao's house and they said that as long as you go back and apologize to them, the matter will be over. You should live the same way you lived in his house before. They will not pursue what happened today."
When Xu Dazui told this story home, Zhong Wangcai didn't take it seriously at all. It was not until the afternoon when Xiao Lianshan came to his house with bruises on his face to tell him about it that he realized that the matter had become a big deal.
Facing the good brother who had saved him, Zhong Wangcai's heart and eyes were filled with shame.
As soon as Xiao Lianshan left, he couldn't wait to find Zhong Qianxi.
He had made up his mind that he must let Zhong Qianxi return to the Xiao family. Only in this way could he save the face he had lost in front of Xiao Lianshan.
Zhong Qianxi was amused when she heard this: "Apologize? To that bunch of bunnies? Are you crazy? Do they deserve it?"
More and more people gathered at the entrance of the Agricultural Science Station. When everyone heard what Zhong Qianxi said, they looked at each other, with gossip written all over their faces.
Zhong Qianxi saw Jiang Youtao in the crowd and nodded to her, and Jiang Youtao smiled at her.
Zhong Wangcai's face turned green with anger: "You're a grown woman, and you keep talking about Rabbit God. Do you have any manners at all?"
Zhong Qianxi was annoyed by the repeated words. She finished the last bit of food in the lunch box and put it aside. "I told you two to go and ask my grandfather about my manners, but you keep saying it over and over again. Are you two not in your right mind?"
Zhong Qianxi's change of attitude made Zhong Wangcai completely helpless.
Zhong Qianxi was too lazy to talk nonsense with them: "I'm going to say this today. Xiao Lianshan saved you. If you want to repay him, you can do it yourself. Nowadays, people believe in repaying a life-saving favor with one's own body. You're not bad looking either. If you promise him, he will definitely accept it."
"I have no obligation to sacrifice myself for your gratitude. I'm not that great. If you feel that promising yourself to Xiao Lianshan is not enough to show your sincerity in repaying your gratitude, then you can take Zhong Youming with you as well."
"I feel that you and your son should serve them together, which is more than enough to repay their kindness. Really, let me just say that your sincerity in repaying a favor will make anyone give you a thumbs up." Zhong Qianxi couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
Jiang Youtao also opened her eyes. She felt that her words before were irritating enough. She had angered the original owner's scumbag father. Now that she had seen Zhong Qianxi, she realized that she was just a little bit inferior to Zhong Qianxi.
After saying these words and thinking about it from another perspective, she felt that if she were Zhong Wangcai, she would be so angry that she would die.
Zhong Wangcai pointed at Zhong Qianxi's hand and it was shaking so much that he could hardly stand.
Yu Huimei quickly supported him: "Zhong Qianxi! Listen to what you are saying! You bastard."
Feeling that her husband was squeezing her arm hard, Yu Huimei softened her voice: "Qianxi, your father is doing this for your own good. You are marrying into the Xiao family, and from now on you will be a member of the Xiao family in life and a ghost of the Xiao family in death. After what you did, how are you going to live in the Xiao family in the future?"
"You have no idea how angry your father-in-law was when he came home today and told us about this. Your father almost knelt down to apologize to him."
"Qianxi, you have to listen to your mother. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. There is nothing we can do. This is the fate of us women. When you give birth to a child, Zichen will change his mind, okay?"
"All those men he has out there are not good enough for the public. You are his wife. Know something, ok?"
Yu Huimei's words made the onlookers look at her indescribably. Are the couple really mentally abnormal? If a normal family knew that the man they were marrying was a rabbit god, they would definitely take their daughter back and beat up the man who deceived them into marriage.
Only the two weirdos in the Zhong family, really, one asked his daughter to go back and apologize to the Rabbit God, and the other asked his daughter to give birth to a child for the Rabbit God, isn't that disgusting?
It's really a small knife pulling the butt. I've opened my eyes today.
Whenever Yu Huimei wanted Zhong Qianxi to do some work for her since she was a child, she used this tone of voice. Her voice softened and her tone became gentler, and it was obvious that she was thinking about her from both sides of her words.
This was undoubtedly extremely devastating to Zhong Qianxi, who originally lacked maternal love. Unfortunately, to the female general Zhong Qianxi, what she said sounded worse than fart.
"Oh, marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog, right?" Zhong Qianxi's tone remained calm.
Yu Huimei and Zhong Wangcai were both delighted, thinking that they had finally convinced Zhong Qianxi.
Zhong Qianxi looked around and then set his sights on a big black dog that was so thin that only a bag of bones was left in the corner of the road.
Seeing that there were so many people around, the big black dog also came over to join in the fun.
Zhong Qianxi was delighted and went over to pull the big black dog over.
Zhong Qianxi had fought with tigers and wolves in her previous life, so it was easy for her to subdue a mere dog.
The big black dog sensed the danger and was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by Zhong Qianxi, so it didn't dare to move at all.
Zhong Qianxi put the dog in front of Yu Huimei, then pulled Yu Huimei over and kicked her knee, and she fell to her knees instantly.
Zhong Qianxi, with a serious face, pressed Yu Huimei to bow three times to the big black dog, and then made the two of them bow head to head.
The onlookers were silent.
Jiang Youtao, as well as Gu Nianwei, Xu Manqiu and Fu Shaohua, who came later to watch the fun, also fell silent.
Fu Shaohua asked Jiang Youtao: "What's she doing?"
Jiang Youtao said succinctly: "Someone said if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Then Qianxi asked her to marry the dog."
Fu Shaohua opened his mouth wide. He had heard this sentence many times since he was a child, but this was the first time he had seen it done.
He learned a lot!!!
Gu Nianwei clapped subconsciously: "What a talent! Awesome! You did what I've always wanted to do for so many years!"
Jiang Youtao said leisurely: "Who wouldn't want to?"
If there is such a saying as "marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog", no girl who has experienced the influence of the new society will like this kind of dramatic quote.
But people like Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei can only do things like letting others try out whether a slap can make a sound. They can't learn from Zhong Qianxi. They can't even do the first step of controlling the dog.
Jiang Youtao sighed in her heart: It has to be you.
Jiang Youtao was already tired of saying this.
After being confused at first, Yu Huimei finally reacted. She struggled and tears streamed down her face.
Unfortunately, in Zhong Qianxi's opinion, what she was doing was no different from playing around.
After meticulously taking Yu Huimei to the wedding ceremony, she said to Yu Huimei seriously, "Didn't you say that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. You just married the big black dog. Now he is your husband. Why don't you go with him? What did you say just now?"
"Oh, according to what you said, from now on, you will be Big Black Dog's person in life and Big Black Dog's ghost in death. Mom, thank me. I know my dad didn't treat you well, so I found you a husband. Are you happy?"
"Look at you, why are you crying?" Zhong Qianxi clapped her hands and suddenly realized: "Is this the legendary crying of joy?"
Yu Huimei wanted to reach out and hit Zhong Qianxi, but Zhong Qianxi blocked her back in two or three moves. Yu Huimei had never been so embarrassed before.
How would she live after marrying a dog? She covered her face, feeling ashamed to face people, and rushed out of the encirclement crying.
Zhong Wangcai did not expect this to happen. He was so weak that he dared not say anything, for fear that if he said too much, Zhong Qianxi would really drag him to the Xiao family and let him marry Xiao Lianshan.
He wanted to run, but as soon as he turned around, he was caught by Zhong Qianxi.
Zhong Qianxi has always felt that she is a person with a good character of helping others. When she was in Feng Zhao, she even received a personal comment from His Majesty that she was both virtuous and honorable.
What does this mean in translation? Doesn't it mean that His Majesty also praised her for her outstanding character and appearance?
"Dad, don't you want to repay him? Come on, I'll take you there. Don't thank me too much. Helping others is one of my few good qualities. You should cherish it."
"You saw it just now. My mother said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. So I let her marry a dog. From now on, you will not only have a husband, but also a dog brother to live with you. If my mother is still not satisfied, I will come to her house in a few days to find her another chicken. Anyway, she said it, so I will do as she said."
"Dad, you see, it's rare to find a daughter as obedient as me, right? Even I am touched with myself."
Zhong Wangcai was not moved and did not dare to feel moved at all. The onlookers followed her to Xiao's house, and after hearing her words, their faces all looked constipated.
Jiang Youtao and the others looked at Zhong Qianxi with shining eyes. Zhong Qianxi's talent for languages was worth their lifelong learning.
Zhong Qianxi smiled at Jiang Youtao, Gu Nianwei and Xu Manqiu, and threw a wink at them. So cool!
"Dad, are you happy that there are so many new family members in the family all of a sudden?" Zhong Qianxi still felt it was not enough. She kept talking while dragging Zhong Wangcai towards the Xiao family.
Zhong Wangcai had already given up resistance after struggling at the beginning. After all, he had just been slapped twice, and it really hurt. Tears were coming out.
Xiao Lianshan had been waiting in the house. He knew Zhong Wangcai was a very face-conscious person. As long as his face was involved, he would find a way to get the job done.
Xiao Lianshan went to the Zhong family this afternoon and talked about this matter in detail. Zhong Wangcai swore to heaven that he would send Zhong Qianxi to his home.
When Zhong Qianxi got home, he would spread the word outside that all these things were Zhong Qianxi's doing and that they were not Rabbit Lords at all. In this way, he could not only clear his butt, but also Zhong Qianxi would come back. With this incident in front of him, wouldn't it be easy for his family to control Zhong Qianxi in the future?
Xiao Lianshan thought about how he would control Zhong Qianxi in the future, and a smile appeared on his face.
Xiao Lianshan was delighted when he heard the noisy footsteps coming from outside. He sat in the room with a chutzpah, waiting for Zhong Wangcai to bring Zhong Qianxi back to apologize to their family.
Zhong Qianxi pulled Zhong Wangcai into the yard, and kicked him into the east room where Xiao Lianshan was. Zhong Wangcai couldn't control himself and staggered forward. As luck would have it, he knocked Xiao Lianshan, who was sitting on the edge of the kang waiting for them, onto the kang.
Such a coincidence made even Zhong Qianxi speechless.
She silently retracted her foot: "Dad, look at you, why are you so excited? Xiao Lianshan is sitting there, and you have to wait until the evening to do anything. Why are you so impatient? I have to say something to you, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"
"Okay, Dad, you just stay in the Xiao family and repay your gratitude. We are all adults now, if you want to repay a favor, do it yourself, it has nothing to do with me. I'm leaving now, don't look for me if you have any problems in the future, of course, don't look for me if you have nothing to do."
The people who were brought by Zhong Qianxi to watch also saw Zhong Wangcai impatiently throwing Xiao Lianshan onto the kang.
They felt that they had seen a lot of excitement, but this was the first time they had seen something so outrageous.
Everyone automatically made way for Zhong Qianxi.
Zhong Qianxi hooked her finger at Jiang Youtao and the other three and said, "Let's go, let's go. What are you doing here? It's so unlucky."
Jiang Youtao and the other three followed Zhong Qianxi happily.
The onlookers looked at their receding backs and thought that from now on, anyone in Zaoxiang Commune who wanted to bully Zhong Qianxi would have to think twice.
This is too cruel. Even her own parents were disciplined by her and they were powerless to fight back!
Not to mention anything else, just the matter of marrying a dog is enough for them to talk about for half their lives.
