There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 554

[Chapter 554, parting]

and rushing all the way, Yan Wentao’s head was covered with sweat, he calmed down his breath a little, then walked over to greet the elders, and finally his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhou.

“Aunt

Zhou” Mrs. Zhou was worried that Yan Wentao would say something inappropriate, so she quickly interrupted him: “You are such a sincere child, even if your elder brother is going to the capital, you don’t have to hurry here, you just don’t come, you Brother won’t blame you either.”

Mrs. Li looked at her nephew’s anxious face, glanced at Daohua, and knew that this girl must have told Wen Tao about Jing Wan’s coming to Beijing to talk about her marriage.

However, Mrs. Zhou’s attitude is already very obvious, and if their family wants to continue to entangle, they will be a little ignorant.

Mrs. Li was also afraid that Yan Wentao’s reckless remarks would make it difficult for the two families to get off the stage, so she immediately smiled and said, “Your elder brother is already on board, go and say goodbye to him.”

Yan Wentao looked at Mrs. Li with pleading eyes : “Brother Aunt”

Seeing the helpless side of the tall and burly young man, Mrs. Li couldn’t bear it, and couldn’t help but look up at Mrs. Zhou. Unfortunately, Mrs. Zhou turned her head away immediately when she saw Mrs. Li’s gaze .

Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt helpless, knowing that it was impossible to marry the Zhou family, she could only harden her heart and say: “Wen Tao, your eldest brother just talked about you, hurry up and go with the eldest aunt to see him .”

As he spoke, he was about to pull Yan Wentao away, but he couldn’t.

Yan Wentao’s eyes flickered with struggle, and he kept looking at the boat of the Zhou family. He just returned from work with Ye Yang and Wen Kai today, and the dark guard gave him the letter from Dao Hua as soon as he came back.

Seeing that Jing Wan was going to Beijing to talk about marriage, his heart just wanted to be twisted severely by a knife.

He saw the embarrassment and helplessness of the eldest aunt, and he also felt Madam Zhou’s evasive attitude. Daohua knew that he liked Jing Wan, and based on his understanding of her, he knew that Jing Wan would definitely help him if she wanted to say goodbye. .

Obviously, the eldest aunt should speak to Madam Zhou, but unfortunately, Madam Zhou disagreed.

He knew that his conditions were not worthy of Jing Wan, but he just didn’t want to give up.

Everyone noticed Yan Wentao’s strangeness, and Yan Zhiyuan and Wu Shi looked at their son anxiously.

Mrs. Zhou was very worried that Yan Wentao would be impulsive, so she forced a smile and said, “It’s getting late, since Wen Tao is here to say goodbye to Wenxiu, let’s go, I should get on the boat too.”

Just as she was about to turn around, she heard Yan Wentao said: “Aunt Zhou, the reason why I came late is because I was away on business.”

Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath and said with a stiff smile, “Auntie knows you are capable, and now your eldest brother is engaged. When I come back, I’ll tell you about a good marriage.”

Yan Wentao interrupted Mrs. Zhou anxiously: “Aunt Zhou, I’m not good enough now, but please trust me, I will definitely work hard.”

The smile on Mrs. Zhou’s face was gone . Couldn’t hold it any longer: “.I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn’t have introduced girls from other families to you.” Seeing what Yan Wentao wanted to say, Mrs. Zhou raised her hand to stop her.

“Wentao, it’s really getting late. Your elder brother has to go to Beijing to get hired. Go and say goodbye to him. I’ll get on the boat first.” After finishing speaking, Zhou’s family didn’t hesitate Walk towards Zhou’s ship.

Yan Wentao instinctively took a step out, and when he was about to take the second step, Yan Wenxiu, who received the news that he had got off the Yan family boat, stopped him in time.

“Third brother, I haven’t seen you for a while, let’s go to the side and talk for a while.” As he spoke, he forcibly pulled Yan Wentao away.

Looking at this scene, the Yan family and the Zhou family seemed to understand something.

Zhou Chengye rubbed his forehead with some headaches, Wen Tao likes his sister? He didn’t notice it at all!

When did it start?

Zhou Chengye thought about it carefully, only to realize to his surprise that his younger sister seemed to like to cling to Wen Tao since he was a child, and Wen Tao also gave his younger sister something every now and then.

Litchi, strawberries, things that even my grandfather couldn’t get, Wen Tao can get Jing Wan.

Every time his younger sister called ‘Brother Yan San, Brother Yan San’, he only thought that they were on good terms.

Zhou Chengye couldn’t help but patted his head. Wen Tao was so reserved that he didn’t think about it at all.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have made a fuss like it is now, causing everyone to know about it.

Zhou Chengye looked at his embarrassed father and Uncle Yan, and yelled in his heart.

Seeing the third elder brother who tried his best to endure and stared at the Zhou family’s boat with reddened eyes, Daohua endured it, and finally shouted at the Zhou’s boat: “Jingwan, don’t you want to bring me a pearl hairpin? I Think it over, I want the one inlaid with sapphires and pearl beads, preferably in the shape of a flower.” In the

cabin, Zhou Jingwan, who was making tea, said quickly when she heard this: “Grandfather, I’ll go out to have a look, and I promised to bring Yi a pearl hairpin when I come back, and I can’t make a mistake.”

After speaking, he put down the tea set and ran out in a hurry.

The woman next to Mrs. Zhou wanted to stop her, but the old lady Zhou took a look, and immediately bowed her head and didn’t move.

As soon as Zhou Jingwan ran out of the cabin, she ran into Mrs. Zhou who had just boarded the boat.

Mrs. Zhou wanted to ask her daughter to enter the cabin, but unfortunately, Zhou Jingwan had already run to the deck: “Yiyi, tell me again, what do you want?”

As soon as she finished shouting, she saw Yan Wentao on the shore, her eyes lit up immediately, and she looked up. One step is about to run under the boat.

Madam Zhou saw her, and hurriedly pulled him back: “The boat is about to sail, what are you going to do?”

Zhou Jingwan: “Brother Yan San is here, I’ll go and say goodbye to him.”

Madam Zhou’s face darkened , Blocking her daughter with her body, she frowned and said: “What are you talking about, how can a girl’s family go down to say goodbye to a foreign man in a large crowd? Do you still want your reputation?”

Zhou Jingwan frowned, her expression was a bit disapproving: “Mother, our family has a good relationship with the Yan family, why did Brother Yan San become a foreigner?”

Mrs. Zhou felt a severe headache and gritted her teeth: “Anyway, you are not allowed to go down, Don’t yell unreasonably, go back to the cabin now.”

Zhou Jingwan hummed to express her dissatisfaction, seeing Mrs. Zhou unmoved, she took a step back: “Mother, I won’t get off the boat anymore, I Just stand on the deck and talk to Yan San.” Seeing Mrs. Zhou’s eyes turning cold, she immediately changed her words: “I’ll just ask Yiyi what kind of pearl hairpin she wants.”

Before Mrs. Zhou could speak, Zhou Jingwan immediately went to On the edge of the deck, holding the boat rail and looking at the shore.

When Zhou Jingwan got out of the cabin, Yan Wentao quickly walked to the front of Zhou’s boat.

Daohua and Yan Wenxiu both followed, and with two people accompanying them, at least from outsiders’ perspective, they would only think that Zhou Jingwan was saying goodbye to the three of them, and would not spread any bad gossip.

Zhou Jingwan said to Daohua: “Yiyi, don’t worry, I will bring you back the pearl hairpin. It will take about three or four months, and I will come back.” The

words were said to Daohua , but his eyes kept falling on Yan Wentao.

Daohua glanced at the third brother who was biting his lips tightly, and replied, “We’ll wait for you.”

Zhou Jingwan smiled and said, “If you have any delicious food, you can keep it for me. I’ll eat it when I come back.

” Hearing this, Yan Wentao’s fist hanging by his side trembled because he was pulling too tightly. He really wanted to say a few words to Jing Wan, but he was afraid that once he opened his mouth, he couldn’t help but say what was in his heart.

He couldn’t ruin the relationship between the Yan family and the Zhou family for so many years for himself.

Mrs. Zhou didn’t want to cause trouble, so she immediately ordered the boat to sail.

Seeing the boat sail away, Zhou Jingwan immediately waved to the three people on the shore: “Wait for me to come back.” Daohua

raised her hand and responded: “Jingwan, you must come back.”

Next to him, Yan Wenxiu looked at his third younger brother with some regret, and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder: “Some things don’t have to be possessed, so bless them.”

Yan Wentao raised his eyes to Yan Wenxiu in a daze: “Blessings?”

Yan Wenxiu nodded “Yes, as long as sister Zhou is doing well, you will be happy, won’t you?”

Looking at the boats of the Zhou family that were gradually going away, a bitter smile appeared on Yan Wentao’s face: “Yes, as long as Jing Wan is well, I don’t care what I do.”

“Wenxiu, get on the boat, it’s late, but you won’t be able to catch up with Zhou’s boat.”

Yan Zhiyuan came over suddenly.

Yan Wenxiu looked at the third uncle, nodded, patted Yan Wentao on the shoulder again, and turned around to board the Yan family’s boat.

The two boats drove away one after the other.

Seeing this, Zhou’s family and Yan’s family breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as things don’t break out, everyone can tacitly pretend that it didn’t happen.

While Yan Wentao was staring sadly at the departing ship, on the Zhou family boat, Zhou Jingwan, who knew nothing about it, was making tea in a good mood because she saw Yan Wentao before leaving.

The old man Zhou saw his granddaughter’s emotional changes, and frowned slightly when he thought of what the steward had reported to him just now.

After the tea was ready, Mrs. Zhou asked Zhou Jingwan to go back to her room to rest, but Mrs. Zhou stayed behind.

“What’s going on with that kid Wen Tao?”

Mrs. Zhou was silent for a while, and finally said the truth: “That kid, toad, wants to eat swan meat, and he’s planning on our family’s Jingwan.” Mrs.

Zhou frowned, I was also slightly displeased in my heart: “Does Yan Zhigao and his wife know about this?”

Mrs. Zhou immediately revealed the matter of Mrs. Li’s snooping when the eldest son got married.

Old Mrs. Zhou: “The Yan family is also knowledgeable about etiquette and fun. Our family disagrees. If you explain clearly to them, they won’t bother you. You, you have gone too far.”

Mrs. Zhou argued: “My daughter-in-law doesn’t want to either. Isn’t the time just right at the moment when we go to Beijing? You know Jing Wan’s temperament. If she knows that we are going to Beijing to say goodbye to her, she will definitely say goodbye.” Make trouble.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou immediately raised her eyes to look at the eldest daughter-in-law: “Jing Wan, also interested in Wen Tao?”

Mrs. Zhou nodded depressedly: “Father, what do you call this, yes, The boys from the Yan family grew up with Jing Wan, and they are relatively close. Besides, they are all good-looking, so it is easy for the girl to fall in love with them, but Mr. Dong and Mr. Su are obviously much stronger than the brothers of the Yan family. Why did that silly girl Jing Wan fall in love with Yan Wentao, who has the worst conditions?” Mrs.

Zhou didn’t like what the eldest daughter-in-law said: “Don’t underestimate the brothers of the Yan family, they are not as good as Dong and Su. My boy, in terms of people alone, it doesn’t matter who is good and who is bad.” As he

said, his eyes narrowed.

“Do you know that Mrs. Su told Yan Wenkai the daughter of the third wife of the Su family?”

Mrs. Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then said in surprise: “How could that be? Even marrying into an aristocratic family is more than enough to be a clan wife .” Mrs. Zhou

said quietly: “Why else, value Yan Wenkai.”

Mrs. Zhou was silent: “There is still a difference between Wen Tao and Wen Kai. Kai asked to marry Jing Wan, and his daughter-in-law would also consider it, but Wen Tao.”

Mrs. Zhou didn’t mean to blame the eldest daughter-in-law, even he would not agree to tell Jing Wan to Yan Wentao.

“Okay, go and see Jing Wan, and when the time is right, tell her the purpose of our trip to the capital, so that she can be mentally prepared.”

He is very optimistic about the marriage that the second child told Jing Wan, and hopes that smoothly.
