Chapter 122 A Quiet Chapter Between Young Lesbians
Chen Shuning grabbed Ma Lanzhi with one hand and Wang Na with the other, and hurried out: "Hurry up! If you're late, you won't be able to grab it!"
Wang Na went up to the table with high morale and came down covered in dust.
"Shuning, how could they act so quickly? Before I could react, half of the meat was already gone..."
As Chen Shuning cleared the table, he said, "I warned you, hurry up! How long has it been since you guys last had meat? The sight of meat makes you sparkle."
Wang Na patted her belly and said thankfully, "Luckily I reacted quickly and managed to grab a few pieces of meat. I also ate a lot of pig blood..."
Chen Shuning bent down to wipe the table, looked up and asked, "Is it delicious? Officer Guo's cooking skills are simply amazing! Oh, it's so delicious!"
I've never tasted such delicious meat! If he wasn't a police officer, he could definitely be a chef in a state-owned restaurant!
The food in the restaurants in our town isn’t as delicious as his! Oh~ I feel bad when I think about not being able to eat meat this delicious anymore…”
Guo Junshan pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the conversation between Chen Shuning and Wang Na. When he heard her praise, the corners of his mouth curled up and he couldn't suppress it no matter how hard he tried.
Wang Simin was at the next table, watching over here. Seeing his grandson's expression, he frowned: "Why is this kid grinning like that? Look at that worthless look!"
Wang Na came close to Chen Shuning and whispered, "Catch him, and you can eat his cooking every day!"
Chen Shuning's pretty face flushed, and she muttered, "Don't talk nonsense! I know myself well. She's from a big city. A girl from a small place like me wouldn't dare to dream of her!"
"Oh~" Wang Na said angrily, "What's the big deal? You need to have confidence!"
"It's not that I'm not confident, it's that I'm self-aware!" Chen Shuning explained, "Our backgrounds, education, knowledge, and life experiences are all incompatible! We're also several years apart in age.
I think he's quite generous, so his family must be well-off. We're too far apart to be a good match. Besides..."
Chen Shuning glanced back, then turned his head and whispered to Wang Na's ear, "Look at his face, there must be a lot of people who like him!
Comrade Du Juan from the police station likes him! I can see it, that look~ oh~ it's all drawn~
How many lesbians would I have to chase away to keep her like this? I don’t want to waste my time on such nonsense…”
“That’s true… being handsome is very attractive to men~” Wang Na was successfully persuaded and said with some regret: “Shuning, you are so beautiful!
If you two start a family, the children...would be so beautiful!"
"What's the point of being good-looking?" Chen Shuning said with wide eyes, "My mom says that being good-looking is the most useless thing. If people use good looks as a way to make a living, they will go astray."
Wang Na's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Hey? Auntie, you're right! The more I think about it, the more it makes sense!"
"What makes sense?" Ma Lanzhi came over and asked curiously.
Wang Na pulled Ma Lanzhi to sit down and said with a smile: "Shuning's mother said that if people regard good looks as the cost of making a living, they will go astray.
I think it makes perfect sense! What do you think, Lanzhi?
Ma Lanzhi nodded and said, "Hmm~ When I think about it, it really makes sense! People will get old eventually. When you're young, you rely on your beauty to make a living, but what will you do when you're old?"
Chen Shuning added: "My mother also said that if a person is good-looking, hardworking, and studious, then he or she will be like a tiger with wings! He or she can succeed in anything~"
Ma Lanzhi rested her chin on Wang Na's back and sighed, "That makes sense. So, Shuning, is this why you study so hard?"
"No—" Chen Shuning deliberately kept the secret and paused before saying, "Even if I'm ugly, I will study hard. Knowledge changes destiny.
We girls shouldn't just stay around the stove! I hope that through studying, I can change my destiny and see the outside world. I haven't even left Anding County yet!
"You will get out of this!" Ma Lanzhi said with certainty: "Shuning, you are different from other girls. You have a fighting spirit!"
Chen Shuning's smile deepened upon hearing this: "Yes! I will work hard! Perhaps if I succeed and go out, I will become a role model and make more people pay attention to girls."
Chen Shuning is the baby of the family, but that doesn't mean all girls are! Whether in the city or in the countryside, girls seem to be just accessories to the family.
They cannot have their own thoughts and must be prepared to sacrifice their own interests for the family at any time.
Chen Shuning asked, "Have you noticed? If a family can only afford to send one person to school, the elders will definitely choose the boy!
Girls had no choice but to give up their opportunities and work at home. When they reached adulthood, they would be arranged to marry by their families. It would be better if they could choose their own marriage partner.
If you can’t choose, that’s terrible! Because you don’t know what’s waiting for you…”
Chen Shuning sat next to Ma Lanzhi and whispered, "My cousin was forced by my aunt to marry Li Fuqiang, and in the end she was almost beaten to death by him!
And Chen Chunshan next door to us, he is a replacement bride! Do you understand what a replacement bride is? "
Wang Na nodded and replied, "I know! It's a family exchange. My daughter will marry into your family, and your daughter will marry into mine."
Chen Shuning nodded and said, "That's right. His sister is very beautiful. Because his family is poor and his brother can't find a wife, he forced her to marry him."
Ma Lanzhi asked curiously, "What about now? How are you doing?"
Chen Shuning looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he said stealthily, "My aunt Suling is very hardworking. Before she got married, she was a good worker in our village.
My uncle is quite honest, always listens to my aunt, and is hardworking. Last year, my aunt gave birth to a daughter, who is now one year old..."
Ma Lanzhi smiled and said, "Life should be pretty good then. Both of you are capable, and things will get better sooner or later..."
"What's good about that?" Chen Shuning retorted, "Aunt Suling doesn't have a mother-in-law, but she does have a father-in-law! I met her father-in-law once, a skinny, dark-skinned old man, but he looked okay...
In fact, he is a very bad person. He is the poor peasant version of Huang Shiren. No wonder he agreed to the marriage exchange. He just didn't want to spend a penny and exchanged his daughter for a daughter-in-law!
My aunt is such a good person, what a waste! She can’t say what kind of family she is from? In the end, she ended up in such a family…”
Wang Na looked excited and urged, "Tell me quickly! How come her father-in-law is the poor peasant version of Huang Shiren?"
"My aunt has a good relationship with my mother and often cries to her, but I just listen!" Chen Shuning whispered, "Look, we all work to earn work points, right?
My aunt was diligent and at the end of the year, in addition to food, she could also get some money. She hid the money in the cabinet, and when she came back from working in the fields, the money was gone..."
Wang Na exclaimed, "Ah? Could it be that her father-in-law stole it?"
Chen Shuning nodded and said, "Her father-in-law is just over fifty years old, and he no longer works in the fields! He stays at home waiting for the couple to support him.
My aunt worked hard to earn some money, and he took it all! He was honest enough, and he admitted it when you asked him, but what he said was really infuriating!
Ma Lanzhi was also addicted to listening. She looked at Chen Shuning eagerly and asked with an unsatisfied look, "Tell me, what did he say?"
Chen Shuning looked around again, then whispered, "I'll teach you~ ahem~"
Wang Na urged: "Hurry up~"
