Later, the village matchmaker, Aunt Hua, came to the house with a happy face to propose marriage."Guixiang, the Cai family in the east of the village is in a hurry to marry their daughter off. They don't have any conditions or betrothal gifts.”
"I heard that the Cai family's daughter…" Xue Guixiang hesitated.
Before she could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Auntie Hua. Auntie Hua's mouth was like a cannon,"Sister Guixiang, I'm doing this for the good of the Zhou family. Don't you think about Zhou Jin's current situation? If someone is willing to marry him, it's because the Zhou family's ancestors have shown their power! The Cai family's daughter was beautiful. If not for her shortcomings, would she have taken a fancy to Zhou Jin? Besides…"
Auntie Hua lowered her voice." I've asked around for you. That night, the old widower didn't do anything. Cai Anan was still a pure virgin. Sister Guixiang, you've got a bargain."”
Auntie Hua smiled mysteriously. Xue Guixiang was led by her train of thought and quickly organized a wedding for Zhou Jin.
Xue Guixiang brought the corn cakes into the house and called Cai Anan and Zhou Jin to eat. Zhou Yuanyuan had not returned yet, so no one said that they were going to look for her.
There were three bowls of gruel and a plate of black eggplant on the table. The eggplant was not stir-fried, but steamed in the pot. After it was out of the pot, it was added with some salt. If it was too bland, it was mixed with some garlic. Naturally, it did not look good.
It was too shabby to let his new daughter-in-law eat this, but there was no other way. Xue Guixiang looked ashamed." I used to have some white flour at home. When we celebrated the wedding, we used it to entertain the villagers. I'll go borrow some tomorrow to make dumplings for you."”
Xue Guixiang was really afraid that her daughter-in-law would think that the food was bad and jump into the river again!
Cai Anan took a big bite of the cornbread.""Mom, just eat home-cooked food. Who eats dumplings every day? I think this cake is very fragrant. You don't have to look at other people's faces just to make me happy!”
Xue Guixiang thought that she had misheard. Why did her daughter-in-law seem like a different person?" Anan, are you telling the truth?”
"Mom, don't worry. I won't commit suicide again. From now on, I want to live a good life with Zhou Jin and earn more money so that my family can enjoy life with me!”
Xue Guixiang wiped her tears excitedly." Good child. I'm relieved to hear that."”
When Zhou Jin heard his wife's words, he only grinned.
After the meal, Cai Anan rushed to wash the dishes and finish the meal, but was chased out of the kitchen by Xue Guixiang."Your body is weak. Go and rest!"
When they returned to the house, Zhou Jin smiled and held her hand.""Wife, you didn't eat your fill just now, right? I left you something good.”
Zhou Jin took out a few cooked peanuts from his pocket and placed them in Cai Anan's palm. The peanuts were plump and carried the warmth of his palm. She had mixed feelings for a moment.
When they slept at night, the two of them lay on the same bed. Zhou Jin fell asleep very quickly and did not do anything inappropriate to Cai Anan.
The next day, Xue Guixiang cooked the rice early. Yuan Yuan didn't come back for the whole night. Xue Guixiang said that she was staying at Zhou Hongxing's house in the same village.
There were still three bowls of gruel on the table, with a plate of salted vegetables in the middle. What was rare was that Cai Anan and Zhou Jin each had a white egg in front of them.
"Why are there only two eggs?”Cai Anan realized that something was wrong as soon as she sat down.
"I've already eaten in the kitchen," Xue Guixiang said with a smile.”
Cai Anan knew that eggs were precious. Eggs could be sold for money. The villagers did not have any other income, so they all relied on the chicken butts to earn some pocket money. Xue Guixiang said that she had eaten, but Cai Anan did not believe it at all.
Zhou Jin seemed to have noticed something as well. He placed his egg in front of Xue Guixiang."Mom, you eat."
Xue Guixiang was about to put the eggs back when Cai Anan said,""Mom, you work hard for this family all day. What's wrong with eating eggs? Just listen to Zhou Zhuo and eat it.”
