Chapter 359: Chapter 346 Dumb!

“Mom, what are you talking about?”

“You don’t know what I’m talking about?” Mrs. Wang squinted at Zhuang Wencheng, “With your thoughts, do you still think I can’t see through them?” “Saying that after returning from the county town, you plan to help people treat illnesses while learning medical skills, waiting for the future to open medical clinics. But I think you are not taking this matter to heart, instead, you help Ning girl to make mosquito repellent herbs every day.”

“You’re thoughts are so transparent, I’m surprised that you don’t just write them down on a piece of paper and stick it to your forehead for everyone to see!”

“Mom…” Zhuang Wencheng’s face turned red to the base of his neck.

“Why mom?”

Mrs. Wang interrupted Zhuang Wencheng’s words, “Is there something wrong with what mom said?”

Zhuang Wencheng didn’t know how to respond.

If he denied it, then what Mrs. Wang said was indeed right.

But if he admitted it, she might start on another one of her endless rants about how Zhuang Qingning was not a good choice, urging Wencheng to let go of his thoughts on her or something like that.

“You little rascal, you’re getting shy now.” Mrs. Wang lightly tapped Wencheng’s forehead, “If you have these thoughts, just admit it. What’s all this denial for?”

Zhuang Wencheng lifted his head abruptly, looking at Mrs. Wang with confusion.

In the past, whenever Mrs. Wang mentioned Zhuang Qingning, she couldn’t help but natter on. She always vehemently warned him to stay away from Zhuang Qingning.

Even when he first returned and went to Uncle Yonghe’s house to prepare the mosquito repellent herb materials, Mrs. Wang was absolutely reluctant. If it weren’t for Zhuang Wencheng moping around the house all day, lamenting how he was good for nothing and couldn’t do anything, Mrs. Wang would absolutely not have agreed to let him go.

But now, when Mrs. Wang mentioned Zhuang Qingning, the atmosphere was not as serious as before; instead, was she talking to him in a teasing tone?

Zhuang Wencheng didn’t detect any anger at all.

This was very strange.

“If you have those thoughts, you just have them. Things are out of mother’s hands now.” With a long sigh, Mrs. Wang added, “If you don’t want to see this Liu Qiaoer lady, then don’t see her.”

“But mother has to ask you, does this mean you’re not planning to see any other girls at all?”

Surprised by Mrs. Wang’s easy agreement, Zhuang Wencheng was uncertain what she was thinking. After pondering for a while, he finally nodded, “Just wait a year or two. Let’s talk about this after I’m done with my work for the next year or two.”

“Alright, since you’ve said it, I won’t say anything more.” Mrs. Wang said, “It’s getting late, you better hurry up and do your things. Remember to come home for lunch. We’ll have stewed meat today.”

“If you’re too busy to come back home, it’s okay. I’ll bring the food to you at mealtime. You’ve been relying on Uncle Yonghe for a while now, bringing a bowl of meat over there is also a way of paying a visit.”

She wasn’t objecting to him helping Zhuang Qingning with the herbs, and she even wanted to maintain a good relationship with Uncle Yonghe?

Zhuang Wencheng felt like the sun had risen from the west today.

For a moment, he really didn’t understand Mrs. Wang’s intentions. Considering it was getting late, he didn’t think too much and hurried off to Uncle Yonghe’s house.

Watching Zhuang Wencheng walk away, Mrs. Wang finally returned to the courtyard, thinking about preparing the meat for the stew at lunchtime.

“You’ve always been against Wencheng and Ning girl’s relationship, right? Today you seem to approve of it. What changed?” Zhuang Futian looked at the cheerful Mrs. Wang and asked in surprise.

“Why do you need to ask?” Mrs. Wang snorted, feeling that her husband really didn’t understand.

“Why can’t I ask?” Zhuang Futian grew more curious, “What’s the logic in it?” “Stupid!” Mrs. Wang shot him a glare.

Seeing that he was still as clueless as a monk, she had to explain, “Let me ask you, why didn’t I like Zhuang Qingning in the past?”

“Because of a surname?” Zhuang Futian thought for a while and answered.

Even when he got a chance to answer, he still wasn’t spot on. Mrs. Wang was truly speechless.

She decided to stop playing coy, “The reason I didn’t like Zhuang Qingning back then was because she was an orphan, without a mean to live, and she had a sister to feed.”

“If she got married into our family, not to mention her lack of dowry, she would probably bring another mouth to feed. Our resources would be stretched thin. It would disrupt our quiet life.”

“Moreover, Zhuang Qingning is an independent woman, not agreeable in character. And seeing how Wencheng is so devoted to her, he would surely be swayed from us.”

“But now it’s different. Zhuang Qingning turns out to be so competent. With the shop and workshop up and running, it’s a money-making venture. In the future, she won’t covet our money, and might even supplement our household from time to time.”

“There’s no need to obstruct this matter anymore. If Wencheng and Zhuang Qingning end up together and live happily, isn’t that a good thing?”

In summary, in the past, they were worried about Zhuang Qingning taking advantage of their family because she was poor, so they did not want her to marry into their family.

But now, as Zhuang Qingning is wealthy, they see this marriage as beneficial and have given their consent.

Zhuang Futian felt somewhat dissatisfied after understanding his wife’s blatant preference for wealth.

“But Ning is still independent and strong-willed. Aren’t you worried about this?” Zhuang Futian arched his brow.

“What’s there to worry about? This strong character can help her succeed in the future. Besides, even if she’s independent, she’ll still be our daughter-in-law after marriage, and I’ll still be her mother-in-law. Do you think she’ll cause a revolt?”

Mrs. Wang smiled brightly, “Even if her temperament is not good, don’t worry,

I can handle it.”

Chances are, she wouldn’t even give you the opportunity to tame her.

Oh, he’s not saying that Zhuang Qingning is too feisty and will confront Mrs. Wang, but rather, Zhuang Qingning probably won’t even consider marrying into their family.

People’s vision is determined by the money in their hands and the deeds they have done.

Since Zhuang Qingning is so capable and has money, her sights were set high.

Just like when the harvest is rich and there’s an extra few taels of silver in the family, people would hope to marry a daughter-in-law from a family with a higher social status. If the girl’s family does not lack anything, why would she willingly marry into a simple farming family?

All these wishful thinking, it seems, are nothing but dreams, and can’t truly yield a good result.

Zhuang Futian, clear as a mirror in his heart, found it amusing. But seeing Mrs. Wang bursting with joy, he chose not to voice his thoughts that would burst her bubble..
