# c13: disagreements Wang Ying never imagined that she would be single until death in her previous life, but she would have to find a husband for herself in this life despite her age. After thinking for a while, Wang Ying could only regretfully express that there were no high-quality men to choose from in the memory of the original owner. There were a few bachelors in the brigade, but those who remained had some kind of problem, or their families were extremely poor. In this way, Wang Ying couldn't choose what to do, even if it's to recruit a husband, she can't do this. Besides, when you're living together, you have to see how good the other person is. You can't just marry a man when you catch him. Apart from these bachelors, there were a few others of similar age, but Wang Ying had no impression of these people and couldn't choose one at the moment. After careful consideration, educated youth turned out to be the best choice. Wang Ying thought that in these ten years, educated youths would not be able to return to the city, and she also needed a stable family environment. Both sides work together to get what they need. When the college entrance examination resumes, even if the other party returns to the city, at least will have lived a peaceful and stable life for the past few years. The environment became more open soon after the college entrance examination, and no matter what she does at that time, she could succeed. After doing this calculation, Wang Ying had an idea in her mind. At this time, Li Chunjuan's shout came from outside: "Sanya! Sanya! Come over for dinner!" Uncle Wang Yongshun has returned and is sitting at the dinner table with a smile on his face. There is a large pot of fragrant chicken stew on the table. Perhaps seeing the hope of sending Wang Ying out, Li Chunjuan became much kinder. "Come and try it, these are dried chicken nuggets, they smell delicious!" Wang Lingling went to Xu's house to exchange for chicken, and the exchange could only be air-dried chicken. Xu Shuang is a cook, and these dried pickled foods are better than other places. Take the chicken nuggets in front of you as an example. You need to break the chicken into pieces, add a layer of salt and mince it with various spices, spread it evenly and then leave it to air-dry. You have to be careful to repeat the process of coating with ingredients twice in the middle. During the New Year, Sometimes, I will also brush a little sugar. After this operation, the chicken meat is firm and the aroma can be smelled from a distance. Li Chunjuan's craftsmanship is at the level of neither good or bad. She puts the chicken pieces directly into the pot, then adds half a pot of cabbage and potatoes. It's a big and fragrant pot. If you can't finish it, wait until tomorrow to add some more vegetables. This dish has a meaty taste. I can eat it for four or five days in a row. Wang Lingling was sitting at the table, eating absentmindedly. She had eaten too many good things in her previous life, especially from Xu Shuang, who had never made bad food, which made her always picky about the food she put in her mouth. There are too many vegetables in the chicken nuggets, which makes them taste bland. Wang Lingling looked down on Li Chunjuan for being so low-class. Just half a chicken was not enough for one person to eat. Is this the case? Is this eating meat or vegetables? This is her eighteenth birthday! "By the way, Lingling, you didn't see Xu Shuang when you went to Xu's house? Did he respond to you passing by?" Li Chunjuan's chopsticks fell like raindrops, and she could still ask questions in the gaps, which made people marvel at her awesomeness. Wang Lingling plucked the bowl twice and replied: "No...his mother is not at home either." Li Chunjuan wondered: "Then how did you change the chicken?" Wang Lingling said in a sullen voice: "It was hung under the beam of her house. I took it directly. Oh, why do you ask this? Anyway, I kept the money." Li Chunjuan felt a little pity: "I was just thinking, if Xu Shuang was here, you probably wouldn't have to pay for anything. Xu Shuang as well, he didn't give you anything for your birthday." Wang Lingling thought of Xu Shuang's indifferent appearance in her previous life, and said angrily: "He is just stubborn!" Li Chunjuan didn't say anything. No matter how hard-headed Xu Shuang was, he was still a cook who was eating from the government, and was much better than the men in the brigade who were looking for wives. Wang Yongshun coughed twice: "Stop talking about this. It's normal for young people to forget." He was not as clueless as Li Chunjuan. The whole commune calculated that people like Xu Shuang were difficult to find even with a lantern. Even if it was to make food more convenient for his family in the future, he was very satisfied with Xu Shuang. Because he was satisfied with the marriage, Wang Yongshun was very tolerant of Wang Lingling. His two daughters, the eldest daughter Wang Pingping, married into the town, and she was already married well. She received a hundred yuan as a bride price. Wang Yongshun calculated in his mind that when Wang Lingling turned eighteen, she would be able to get the certificate from Xu Shuang next month. For Xu Shuang's condition, getting one hundred and fifty is not too much. With the money, he could buy something else for Yaozong. He, Wang Yongshun, is not the kind of fool who only knows how to [face the earth and turn his back to the sky.](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] His family only has one precious son Yaozong, who is going to be sent to the city. Even if it is not good, he will have to go to the town to eat public food. Wang Ying didn't say a word since she sat down. She buried her head and only focused on eating. If she treated her uncle's family calmly a few days ago, now she no longer had any patience with them. There is no need to talk to these evil-hearted people! Hmm...how do you make this air-dried chicken and why is it so delicious? The chicken is chewy but not too chewy, and even has a strange elasticity after being soaked in vegetables. The vegetables are also delicious, the potatoes are soft and the cabbage is sweet. After a while, Wang Ying ate two bowls. Li Chunjuan felt so distressed looking at her. Wang Yongshun coughed twice, trying to attract Wang Ying's attention. He called Wang Ying over with great fanfare, naturally it was not just to celebrate a birthday. "Sanya, you see, your sister Lingling is already an adult, and her marriage has been arranged. You are the only girl left in our family. Your parents left early, especially before your mother left, you asked me to take care of you. ...Uncle knows that you have been wronged before, but we are still a family after all. You are seventeen years old, and I can't just focus on your second sister and ignore you...I asked your aunt to find someone. We’ve found a family, and they’re all very nice people. Do you want to go and meet them?” Wang Ying was noncommittal: "I wonder which one my aunt found for me?" Li Chunjuan thought it would take a while to convince Wang Ying, but Wang Ying was so straightforward that she asked directly. But it's understandable that as a girl, she never dared to really fall out with her only relative. After a falling out, can she return to her parents' home in the future? Li Chunjuan hurriedly added: "The surname is Zhao. He is from the commune next door. Although it is said to be the commune next door, it is actually not far away. The young man is a platoon leader in the army. I saw the photo and he is in great spirits... Sanya, although the eldest aunt was confused before, she must be doing it for your own good. This time, this family has good conditions in several communes around here! Auntie, are you interested enough?" "The young man also paid attention to this and said he would be back in the next few days..." "I don't agree-" Li Chunjuan said smoothly: "Sanya, don't be stubborn, he has such good conditions..." Halfway through, Li Chunjuan realized that the roar just now, which was like a throat-breaking roar, did not come from Wang Ying, but from his daughter Wang Lingling. Wang Lingling's face was pale, her whole body was full of anger, and she was even trembling a little. Only Wang Ying could see clearly that after the Zhao family was mentioned just now, Wang Lingling's expression began to change, from the initial shock to a gradual mixture of shock and anger, until now, her whole person was like a taut string. "I don't agree!" Li Chunjuan was a little dissatisfied: "Lingling, please don't interrupt, I'll talk to Sanya." Wang Lingling was extremely frightened. The fact that she might miss Zhao Jun made her whole body tremble. "I said, I don't agree! Why should she marry Zhao Jun!" Wang Lingling gathered all her strength and roared loudly. Li Chunjuan's face was full of confusion: "Lingling, what are you talking about?" Wang Yongshun also frowned tightly: "This has nothing to do with you, who are you yelling at!" Only Wang Ying's eyes flashed, thoughtfully. When Li Chunjuan talked about it just now, she only mentioned that the family's surname was Zhao, but did not say that the person's name was Zhao Jun... Even Wang Ying heard this name for the first time. When Mrs. Zhao and Li Chunjuan were hiding in the house and chatting, they didn't say that her third son was called Zhao Jun. Wang Ying narrowed her eyes, this cousin was really interesting. First, her temperament changed drastically, and she insisted on kicking away her fiance, when she had always been a showoff. Then she took her to eat meat buns, and stared at her mysteriously. At this moment, she even blurted out Zhao Jun's name... Wang Ying had a guess in her mind. Wang Lingling couldn't care about anything at this moment, tears fell down her eyes, and she choked with grievance: "I don't want to marry Xu Shuang! Mom, why didn't you tell me about Zhao Jun?" Li Chunjuan was startled by her daughter's tears at first, and became uneasy when she heard this: "Lingling! What are you talking about! You don't want Xu Shuang's good conditions, and you want to join the Zhao family? Do you know that the Zhao family... …” Wang Yongshun interrupted in time: "We have been in contact with Xu Shuang's family for several years. What's the use of saying this now?" After Wang Yongshun took over, Li Chunjuan remembered that it wasn't just their family in this room, but Wang Ying was also there. Wang Yongshun also looked apologetic: "Sanya, why don't you go back first? Your sister Lingling didn't sleep well and is talking nonsense." Wang Ying blinked: "But I'm not full yet..." Wang Yongshun looked at Wang Lingling who was crying and out of breath, and his heart skipped a beat: "Then take this pot of chicken away. Your aunt and I are full." Now that she has something to eat, Wang Ying can talk a lot easier, pick up the chicken stew in front of her and leave. Anyway, she could hear what was being said here from the other side of the room. As soon as Wang Ying left, Wang Yongshun's face dropped: "Tell me, what's going on in your head? You want to marry a divorcee even if you leave Xu Shuang alone." The daughter even knew the other person's name, so she obviously knew about the Zhao family's situation. Wang Yongshun couldn't tell whether he was more angry or had more questions, so he could only hold Wang Lingling for questioning first. Wang Lingling wiped her tears: "You don't understand, Zhao Jun will definitely have a great future." Wang Yongshun was not angry: "Does his great future have anything to do with you? He is a divorced man, and you come in to be a stepmother and a mother-in-law. How promising can he be? Will he take you to join the army?" Wang Lingling frowned: "You don't understand!" Zhao Jun has a great future. He will take the initiative to return from the army and bring his family to make a fortune. He will be the first among several surrounding communes to become a household worth ten thousand yuan! Not only was he a millionaire, he also became the richest man. His son and daughter are all very promising! Wang Lingling feels that her parents are ill-informed, and marrying someone like Zhao Jun is like grabbing a stock that is destined to hit the daily limit. In the future, as long as you sit and wait, the value will increase! Wang Lingling begged: "Dad, please let me marry Zhao Jun! If I will become a stepmother, so be it. It will save trouble for Zhao Jun's two children. I can also be a stepmother." As soon as these words came out, before Wang Yongshun said anything, Li Chunjuan exploded first. She pointed at her daughter's nose and began to scold: "Are you dizzy or have your eyes been plucked out? Is it that easy for you to be a stepmother? When you get married, you are just an outsider, a little maid who waits on others! They have sons and daughters, but you are the only one who has nothing! Your sister is married to a divorcee? How do you want your brother to behave in the future? " Although Li Chunjuan loved her daughter, she became angry when she thought of her daughter degenerating to become a stepmother. Is it that easy to be a stepmother? At that time, not only will you suffer, but you will also have a group of people watching you, and everyone in the brigade will point at your family and scold your stepmother for not being a good person. It's fine for Wang Ying; when she gets married, the Wang Yongfu line will end with her, so it doesn't matter how badly she's scolded. But if Wang Lingling gets married, it will bring down the family's reputation! Li Chunjuan couldn't even imagine what impact that would have on Yaozong. Wang Lingling wiped away her tears and looked like she had made up her mind: "I want to marry Zhao Jun anyway! I don't want to marry Xu Shuang!" Wang Yongshun's heart suddenly rushed to his forehead with anger. This damn girl usually eats well and is too lazy to do anything. She originally thought that marrying Xu Shuang would be considered a contribution to the family, so Li Chunjuan could coax her if she wanted. Who knew that people could be manipulated into being so ungrateful? Wang Yongshun stood up and slapped Wang Lingling: "You are dreaming!" Li Chunjuan also shed tears: "Girl, why don't you listen? Xu Shuang's conditions are so good, what are you picking on!" Wang Lingling's cheeks were swollen after being beaten, but she still refused to accept it: "What do you know? Whoever marries a waste like Xu Shuang will be unlucky!" …… Listening to the argument next door, Wang Ying finally understood why Wang Lingling was so strange. Wang Lingling was so tough on her words, insisting that Zhao Jun would have great potential in the future, and also asserting that Xu Shuang was useless... Wang Ying mentally reviewed what Wang Lingling had done recently, and the answer was already clear. This cousin of hers is probably reborn. Wang Ying shook her head. Although she didn't know how unsatisfactory this cousin's life was in her previous life, seeing that the first thing she did after returning to the past was to change men, it's understandable that she was not very smart. Thinking again that Li Chunjuan and Wang Yongshun originally planned to introduce Zhao Jun to myself... Wang Ying understood. She guessed that in her previous life, the original owner married Zhao Jun, who was said to have great potential, and became a stepmother. This cousin should have married Xu Shuang, but Wang Lingling obviously attributed all her troubles to her man. She just chose the wrong one. So when reborn, people are ready to pick a potential stock to develop. Tsk tsk, Wang Ying didn't know what to say. She was still thinking about how to refuse, but as soon as Wang Lingling made this move, she basically didn't have to worry. A reborn girl will definitely try her best to replace the man she is with. This is a confrontation between the uncle's family, and she only needs to wait to see the good show. Sure enough, early the next morning, Li Chunjuan got up with black eyes, while Wang Lingling was detained at home by Wang Yongshun. Wang Lingling was not fussing around in the room, she was quiet. You didn't know what she was doing. Two days passed like this. In the evening, someone suddenly rushed to Wang Yongshun's house and shouted to Wang Yongshun: "Yongshun, go and take a look. Something happened to the Xu family. It is said that their eldest son is anti-rightist and has been decentralized."
