Chapter 75 Malicious Defamation
Chapter 75 Malicious Defamation
Father Yan did not disturb him when he saw this. He could see that Yan Zheng obviously liked Wen Xi, and it all depended on his own efforts from now on.
After all, as parents, they can't help much in matters like chasing a wife. Then the strict father turned around and left quietly. He had to go to the state-owned restaurant to order some dishes.
After coming back to his senses, Yan Zheng's eyes turned deep when he looked at Wen Xi.
The Yan family currently consists of Yan's father, Yan's mother, Yan Zheng and granddaughter Yan Lili. Yan Lili's parents are working in other places and are not at home. After lunch was ready, Aunt Yan invited Wen Xi to sit down and told her to treat this place as her own home and not to be embarrassed.
Although her father and mother were very polite and welcoming, it was her first time visiting their home after all, so she was somewhat nervous. While eating, Wen Xi lowered her head and ate seriously, and did not notice a burning gaze looking at her from time to time.
It takes an hour or two to walk back from the town. Wen Xi didn't want to waste time, so she left after dinner. Aunt Yan and Yan Lili wanted to keep her and let her play at home for a while, but there was really nothing fun at home, and it was already afternoon, so she didn't have time to accompany Yan Lili out to play.
Moreover, taking children out to play is a huge responsibility. She cannot bear the responsibility if something happens, so she will not take Yan Lili out to play.
Aunt Yan had no choice but to say to Yan Zheng, "Yan Zheng, you should take Xiaoxi back! It's too tiring to walk such a long way."
Yan Zheng agreed without saying anything and said to Wen Xi, "Xiao Xi, wait for me, I'll go get the bicycle out."
After Yan Zheng pushed the bicycle over, Wen Xi followed Yan Zheng out of the yard, then held onto the bicycle and sat on the back seat. Wen Xi also turned around to say goodbye to Aunt Yan and Yan Lili who were standing at the gate.
The girl was youthful and pretty, the man was tall and handsome, and standing together they looked like they were on the cover of a movie. Mother Yan looked at the two well-matched figures, with a look of expectation on her face. They both looked so good, and the children they would have in the future would surely be particularly good-looking.
Now it all depends on whether Yan Zheng can catch up with Wen Xi.
Just as Yan's mother was about to pull Yan Lili in, the gate of the courtyard next door suddenly opened. An old lady who was about the same age as Yan's mother poked her head out and asked with curiosity in her eyes, "Yan Zheng's mother, who was that little girl just now? Could she be your Yan Zheng's girlfriend? She is so beautiful. If your Yan Zheng likes such a beautiful girl, then others will like her too. Besides, Yan Zheng can't be at home for a long time. Don't let her run into someone else's bed when he is not watched..."
"I still think Tan Yali is more suitable for your Yan Zheng. Most importantly, Tan Yali really likes your Yan Zheng..."
"It just so happens that Yan Zheng in our family is a public security officer. What would you do if I sue you for slander?" When Yan's mother heard the woman's words, her face immediately changed. "Since you like Tan Yali so much, you can let your man or your son marry Tan Yali and don't interfere in our family's affairs."
Then Yan's mother pulled Yan Lili into the house and slammed the gate shut.
"Grandma, I don't like Aunt Tan Yali." Yan Lili looked up at her mother and said.
Mother Yan reached out and touched her hair. "Lili, don't worry. Your uncle doesn't like Tan Yali. Even if he did, grandma wouldn't let her in. Grandma only likes your sister Xiaoxi."
Yan Lili cheered happily, "Grandma, I only like Sister Xiaoxi too."
On the other side, Yan Zheng had already taken Wen Xi for a distance on his bicycle. Wen Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Yan, just drop me off in front of the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll buy some things and then walk back to the brigade by myself."
Yan Zheng disagreed and said, "That's too far. How long will it take you to get there? And you have to buy things. What if you get robbed on the way if you carry so many things back?"
Although his eyes were looking forward, he couldn't hide his worry.
If he hadn't known her before, it would have been fine, but now that he knew her, he wanted to do his best to protect her and take care of her.
Seeing that Yan Zheng insisted, Wen Xi didn't say anything. Since he had a bicycle, it would save her a lot of trouble. Otherwise, she would have to walk for an hour or two!
When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wen Xi walked into the cooperative carrying a backpack.
The supply and marketing cooperative was very quiet. It was just after lunch and not time for everyone to go out. Even the salespeople inside were busy with their own things. Some were knitting sweaters, and some were sewing shoe soles...
Wenxi didn't have anything to buy, but she wanted to buy some toilet paper to cover up so that she could use the toilet paper and sanitary napkins she signed out.
So Wenxi walked towards the counter selling sanitary products, took out money and tickets to buy toilet paper and sanitary napkins of that era. The toilet paper of that era was rough straw paper, but even that was not something that everyone could use. Not only did it cost money, it also required industrial coupons.
Sanitary napkins in this era were sold in bulk, one by one. Not only were they expensive, but they also required industrial coupons and cotton coupons. Fortunately, Wen Xi exchanged some tickets when she traded on the black market, otherwise she would not have been able to buy this.
Yan Zheng followed Wen Xi and originally planned to wait until she finished buying the things so that he could pay and get the ticket first. However, he didn't expect that Wen Xi would turn around immediately after buying the things. A blush appeared on his wheat-colored skin, but it was not visible. Others could only see that his face became a little darker.
But he could feel his cheeks were burning.
Wen Xi didn't notice Yan Zheng's discomfort. He paid the money and the ticket, took the things handed over by the salesperson, and turned his head to look at Yan Zheng, "Brother Yan, I've bought it. We can go now."
"Yeah." Yan Zheng nodded, then walked outside, pushed the bicycle over, and asked Wen Xi to get on.
After leaving the town, the bicycle went onto the dirt road leading to the countryside. The road was in poor condition and full of potholes. Although Yan Zheng had slowed down as much as possible, Wen Xi, who was sitting in the back, was still shaken all over.
Suddenly, the bicycle jolted violently, and Wen Xi bumped into Yan Zheng's back. Afraid of falling off the tall bicycle, he subconsciously reached out and hugged Yan Zheng's waist as if he was holding on to a life-saving straw.
After she reacted, her cheeks flushed red, and then she quickly let go of her hands, sat down obediently, and tried hard to grab the place under the cushion with both hands.
Yan Zheng in front couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, making him look even more seductive. His harmless appearance was totally inconsistent with his identity.
But Wenxi, who was sitting in the back, couldn't see this scene.
