Chapter 575: 152: Extremely Proud, Comparison (One More)_1

Wang Meiying feigned politeness and said, “Ronghua, let Wenhua take you home.”

“No need,” Li Ronghua refused, “Wenhua is reading. We better not disturb him.”

Wang Meiying smiled and said, “Ronghua, you’re such a good kid.”

Li Ronghua, slightly embarrassed, said, “I’m just doing what I should do.”

With that said, Li Ronghua left on his bike.

Watching Li Ronghua’s retreating figure, Wang Meiying spat on the ground and muttered, “Pah! What a piece of trash! A shameless beggar!”

After Li Ronghua left, Zhou Wenhua emerged from the room.

He had been pretending to read to avoid Li Ronghua.

Zhou Guicai and Wang Meiying were sitting at the table.

Zhou Wenhua resumed, “Mom, Dad, I want to break up with Li Ronghua as soon as possible!”

“Why?” Zhou Guicai asked, surprised.

Impatient, Wang Meiying asked, “Did Zijin ask you to break up as soon as possible?”

In reality, Su Ziqin was already with Zhou Wenhua.

Zhou’s parents were very pleased with their prospective daughter-in-law.

Zhou Wenhua continued, “Zijin understands me. She also sympathizes with Li Ronghua and agrees to give me time to handle this. But I just can’t stand it anymore, every minute with Li Ronghua is torture!”

He had nothing in common with Li Ronghua.

When he said one thing, Li Ronghua could manage to twist it to something else.

Sometimes her responses were entirely unrelated.

He was really fed up.

“No way, you can’t break up with Li Ronghua for the time being.” Zhou Guicai spoke up.

“Right, I don’t agree either.”

“Why?” Zhou Wenhua looked at his parents incredulously, “Mom, Dad, don’t you dislike Li Ronghua too?”

“Yes, we certainly don’t like Li Ronghua.” Zhou Guicai nodded.

Impatiently, Zhou Wenhua asked, “Then why won’t you let me break up with her?”

The sooner he broke up, the sooner he’d be free.

Because of Li Ronghua, he couldn’t openly introduce Su Zijin to others.

He could only say that Su Zijin was his classmate, which resulted in Su Zijin suffering a lot.

Wang Meiying continued, “You and Zijin are dating, eating, going to the movies, buying clothes, doesn’t all of that cost money? You certainly can’t use Zijin’s money. Our income is not substantial, and with your brother and sister still studying, when you really break up with Li Ronghua, where will the money come from?”

To their family, Li Ronghua was like a free ATM.

Without Li Ronghua, their life wouldn’t be as comfortable.

Regardless of the job Li Ronghua was doing, she gave all her money to their family without reserving a cent for herself.

Sometimes, Li Ronghua would even give money from her own parents to Zhou Wenhua.

Zhou Wenhua frowned, “Am I supposed to rely on a woman to support me?!”

Zhou Wenhua was poor but proud.

He didn’t want to be tagged as one living off a woman.

If his classmates heard about it, how would he save face?

Zhou Guicai glanced at Zhou Wenhua, “Now is not the time for you to act bravely! There are countless examples of men having multiple wives in ancient times. If a woman is willing to give you money, that’s because of your own ability.”

Hearing this, Wang Meiying immediately echoed, “Exactly! Your father is absolutely right! Does the guy next door, Er Gouzi, have such ability? I’ve heard from the matchmaker, his mother introduced him to so many girls, not one of them liked him!”

When Wang Meiying said this, she appeared extremely proud.

Could she not be proud of having such a capable son?

Not everyone had the fortune to have such a capable son.

Zhou Wenhua’s vanity was slowly filled by his parents’ words.

Yes.

Li Ronghua willingly gave him money, but he had never asked her for a cent.

As for the money that came unasked, why wouldn’t he accept it?

Zhou Wenhua nodded, “Fine, I’ll listen to you. But Mom and Dad, dragging this on forever isn’t viable either, it’s not fair to Zijin.”

Su Ziqin was an innocent young girl, she couldn’t just blindly follow him around.

“Like this.” Wang Meiying’s eyes twinkled, “I’ll think of a way for you. So you can have money to spend, and also break up with Li Ronghua.”

“Deal!”

The courtyard of the Ni Family.

In the evening, the courtyard was filled with the rich aroma of food, and the house was filled with laughter.

After these days of hard study, Cuihua had managed to learn quite a lot of English.

At the moment, she was practicing English conversation with Yangyang.

Chenggui said with a smile, “Yangyang’s mom, you’re amazing! It seems that I should learn from you.”

Cuihua humbly replied, “Oh come on, I’m just doing it for fun.”

Chenggui continued, “I’m just joking around, if I actually had to do this, I definitely wouldn’t have the patience.”

She was over forty.

Where would she have the mood to study this?

She didn’t have the steadfastness and perseverance of Cuihua.

Cuihua was the kind of person who thirsted for knowledge, and was very smart.

Chenggui continued, “Yangyang’s mom, you never wanted to go to school when you were younger, if you had, you would have gone to university a long time ago!” Also, Cuihua had a certain quality about her that was not ordinary, perhaps it was because of her years living as a peasant woman, it had concealed this quality.

After coming to Beijing, as she broadened her horizons, the concealed quality slowly began to emerge.

Now, you could hardly see any trace of her past in Cuihua.

If you were to say that she was the rich daughter of a wealthy family, people would believe it.

Cuihua chuckled and said, “Sister Chenggui, you sure know how to flatter. How am I as brilliant as you say?”

“You’re much smarter than I am.”

The two started to exchange compliments.

Over at the Li Family.

When Li Ronghua came back, the Li family were having dinner.

Han Xiaoqin looked at Li Ronghua, “Ronghua, how did your visit to Wenhua’s go today, what did his parents say?”

“What did they say?” Li Ronghua looked at Han Xiaoqin with some confusion.

Han Xiaoqin just spread it out and said, “Ronghua, you and Wenhua are not getting any younger, especially for girls of your age who can’t afford to wait, what did Wenhua’s parents say? When do they plan to come and propose?”

Han Xiaoqin was quite satisfied with Zhou Wenhua as a son-in-law.

After all, Zhou Wenhua was a college student, from any perspective, Li Ronghua was marrying above her class.

Li Ronghua was already twenty-two this year. In the countryside, she would be considered an old maid, usually at her age, they would already have several kids! If she doesn’t get married soon, she will not get marry at all!

However, the Zhou family hadn’t shown any signs of coming to propose, this made Han Xiaoqin a bit anxious.

Li Ronghua wasn’t worried about this problem, she laughed and said, “Mom, don’t worry about nothing. Wenhua is only a sophomore this year, he would at least wait until he graduates from college before discussing our relationship.”

“Two years later?” asked Han Xiaoqin surprised, “Two years later you will be twenty-four! Which girl who didn’t study makes it to twenty-four without getting married! If the Zhou family doesn’t want you by then, you’ll have nowhere to go and cry!”

Li Ronghua said laughingly, “Wenhua is not that kind of person.”

She had known Zhou Wenhua for so long, she firmly believed his character.

Han Xiaoqin said, “Back then, Qin Xianglian also didn’t believe that Chen Shimei was an ungrateful man who abandoned his wife and children! But what happened in the end? What was Qin Xianglian’s fate?”

Li Ronghua helplessly replied, “Mom, you’re going off track, how can you compare Wenhua with Chen Shimei?”

“People are hard to read. I think Zhou Wenhua might not be such a good guy.” Goudan chimed in.

Goudan really didn’t like Zhou Wenhua.

He always felt that Zhou Wenhua was a bit dismissive of their family.

Every time he came, he would refuse even a sip of water, acting as if he was some kind of Golden Phoenix.

And yet his parents and sister really liked him.

Li Ronghua glared at Goudan, “Go away! What do you, a child, know about this! What Zhou Wenhua! Is Zhou Wenhua a name you can say? He’s your future brother-in-law!”

Goudan shook his head, “Li Ronghua, if only you were half as smart as Sister Ni Yang, then I wouldn’t have to worry.”

Li Ronghua couldn’t be bothered with Goudan.

Goudan continued, “Just look at the boyfriend that Sister Ni Yang is dating, he’s so good! Every time he comes, he does chores for her family, washing dishes, installing pipes, he even dug a ditch for her last time! But look at Zhou Wenhua, what has he ever done for us? Every time he comes, he’s so picky!”
