Chapter 644: 180: Shangguan Furong was slapped_3
A stranger in the village always garnered curiosity.
“Whose relative is this? Such an ostentatious entrance.”
“Maybe they are relatives of Yangyang’s family.”
“Seems like that to me.”
Looking at the curious villagers, a look of disdain crossed Shangguan Furong’s face.
Where there is poverty, there are peevish folks!
Have they never seen a wealthy person before?
Initially, Shangguan Furong had no intention of coming. Still, persuaded by the old lady Shangguan, she came.
No matter what, Shangguan Dehui was her brother.
She should save him face.
Shangguan Furong is not an unreasonable person.
But now, she regrets the decision terribly.
Looking at the village’s low and humble earth houses, Shangguan Furong’s disdain intensified. Which era are we living in that people still inhabit such homes?
Does Ni Cuihua’s family also live in such houses?
And the road is terrible! Cars can’t even move on these rugged and potholed surfaces. Wearing high heels is an absolute torture, and it’s excruciating.
If Zhao Shen hadn’t supported her, she would’ve stumbled countless times!
Shangguan Furong, consumed with resentment, extends her hand to Zhao Shen, “I’m thirsty.”
“Here’s some mineral water.” Zhao Shen quickly hands her a bottle from his bag.
Shangguan Furong didn’t reach out to take it.
Zhao Shen asked, puzzled, “What’s the matter?”
Shangguan Furong replied irritably, “Open it! Are you, dead man?”
“Oh, oh. I’ll open it for you now.”
“Shangguan,” cries the old lady, “All you know is how to bully Zhao Shen.
“Ask Zhao Shen if I bulldoze him,” counters Shangguan Furong’s.
“No, no, my mother, You misunderstand. Furong never bullies me,” Zhao Shen responds instantly.
The old lady Shangguan shakes her head helplessly.
For Furong to marry Zhao Shen in this life; it must have been because she had accumulated a great deal of good karma in her previous life. Who else could tolerate her?
The Zhao family are all honest people.
Even Shangguan Furong’s mother-in-law hardly dares say a harsh word to her.
This was Shangguan Xi’s first time in the countryside, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with curiosity.
“The air in the countryside is so fresh!”
“Wow! Is that sugarcane?”
Shangguan Xu knocked Shangguan Xi on the head, “That’s corn.”
Shangguan Xi stared at Shangguan Xu, “So smart of you! I intentionally said sugarcane. I’m old enough. Don’t I recognize crops?”
Shangguan Xu shrugged, “Yes, yes, you know, you know them all.”
“Of course I recognize them!” To prove she really did recognize the crops, Shangguan Xi hugged the old lady Shangguan’s arm and pointed at a lush field, “Grandma, look at those beautiful little cabbages!”
The old lady Shangguan laughed and replied, “That’s canola!”
“Stupid.” Shangguan Xu flicked Shangguan Xi’s forehead.
Shangguan Xi moaned, touching her forehead, “I didn’t get it wrong. Canola is another name for little cabbage.”
“This canola isn’t the same as the one we usually eat. It blooms in spring and produces seeds that could be used to extract cooking oil. That’s why it’s called canola”, explained the old lady Shangguan.
“You kids are really lucky. Not only do you not have to do anything, but now you can’t even recognize crops. When I was your age, I had traveled all over the country. ”
Although born in a noble and wealthy family, the old lady Shangguan had lived through a time of war and hardship.
Feeling embarrassed, Shangguan Xi toyed with her hair and changed the subject, “Dad, when will we finally get to Aunt Daya’s place?”
“Soon.” Shangguan Dehui replied, “When we round the next bend, we’ll be there.”
In no time, they arrived at the gate of Ni Chenggui’s quadrangle.
Shangguan Dehui, unaware that Ni Cuihua’s family had moved to a new house, knocked on Ni Chenggui’s gate.
The obvious look of distaste on Shangguan Furong’s face as she studied the somewhat old quadrangle was hard to ignore.
This house is absolutely deteriorated!
No wonder Ni Cuihua is scheming to be with Shangguan Dehui.
Most likely, she wants to turn into the proverbial Phoenix?
What on earth Siang Dehui saw in a woman like Ni Cuihua was beyond Furong’s comprehension.
Instead of their gate, the door next to it opened.
Ni Cuihua stood at the door.
“Auntie, Sister Xu Lian, Furong, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxi, you all came, come in quickly.”
Ni Cuihua welcomed everyone inside her house.
