In the capital city of Beijing, after receiving Song Yunlan’s phone call, the whole family immediately began to get busy.
Their daughter getting married was a major event for Song Zhenguo and Zhang Yiran.
However, the fact that the groom was not Liang Bo really surprised them.
“Old Song, do you think Lanlan has been wronged in the countryside?! It’s so far away, and we’re not by her side…”
As she spoke, Zhang Yiran’s eyes reddened, and her voice turned choked with emotion.
“Don’t panic. Our daughter is a very decisive person. Since she has already made her choice, we just need to support her.
As for Liang Bo his Liang family already benefited so much from ours, and now they still dare to bully my daughter? Do they really think I, Song Zhenguo, am easy to deal with?
Don’t worry, I will definitely get justice for our daughter. But right now, the most important thing is to go there first.
No matter who our daughter marries, we must let that man know that Lanlan is our precious treasure we hold in our palms not someone anyone can bully.”
Hearing her husband’s words, Zhang Yiran nodded repeatedly and wiped away her tears.
“You’re right. Let’s arrange our work these next few days and then book tickets to go find Lanlan! And her dowry we absolutely cannot let our daughter be wronged!”
Seeing his wife calm down a bit, Song Zhenguo finally felt relieved. Although he was also worried about their daughter, he was even more afraid of his wife crying.
As for the man their daughter was going to marry, even from this distance, he could already investigate him thoroughly.
As the saying goes: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never lose a battle.
He, Song Zhenguo, never fought an uncertain war.
“As for the dowry, didn’t we already discuss it? It’s too far to transport things back and forth, so we’ll just bring vouchers and buy everything there.
Military supply coupons can be used anywhere in the country, so we just need to bring enough money. As for the jewelry left by my mother-in-law and yours, we’ll keep it at home for now.
The situation is still tense. Bringing those things out would be too conspicuous. We can give them to Lanlan later when things settle down.”
Zhang Yiran naturally had no objections to her husband’s suggestion.
They had three children in total, but only one daughter, Song Yunlan, whom they had cherished like a precious jewel since childhood. Naturally, they would never let her suffer.
“Don’t worry, I understand what matters. I won’t bring anything that could cause trouble. But have you stopped dealing with the Liang family’s arrangements?”
“Since Liang Bo dared to betray our daughter, there’s no need for the Liang family to return to Beijing. I think it’s quite good for them to settle in the northwest.”
Song Zhenguo nodded slightly.
“As soon as Lanlan called, I immediately stopped everything. I also instructed Old Hu over there he’s in charge of the northwest now. Don’t worry.”
Zhang Yiran was very satisfied with her husband’s actions. At first, she had not been optimistic about the marriage with the Liang family, but their daughter insisted, so they had agreed.
Later, when the Liang family ran into trouble, although it was not honorable, they still did everything they could to help for their daughter’s sake and even helped remove Liang Bo from the matter.
But how did Liang Bo repay them? He actually cheated with another woman and even drugged their daughter.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yiran clenched her fists, wishing she could tear that ungrateful man apart.
“Let’s leave the eldest at home to take care of things. We can’t all go over. The eldest daughter-in-law has to look after two children, and the second daughter-in-law is pregnant.”
Hearing this, Song Zhenguo looked at his wife.
“Didn’t we say before that the eldest would go with us and the second would stay?”
Zhang Yiran shook her head.
“Last night, the second son told me his wife is going back to her parents’ home for a few days. He already sent her back today. With her mother taking care of her, the second son doesn’t need to worry.”
Only then did Song Zhenguo realize there had been this change.
“Alright then. I’ll tell the eldest not to take leave. The two of us and the second son will go together.”
“Mm.”
The Song family’s plans were thus finalized, while far away in the Progressive Production Brigade, Song Yunlan had no idea what “surprise” was waiting for her.
“Lanlan, drink some water and rest a bit. I’ll handle the rest of the work.”
Shen Zhiyan, who rarely worked in the fields, had today followed Song Yunlan out under the teasing gaze of his parents.
Although Song Yunlan was also raised in a pampered household, she had always been capable and well-trained in everything she did.
She hadn’t had much experience farming, but she had once helped her grandparents grow vegetables in their garden, so she wasn’t completely unfamiliar with field work.
Even without Shen Zhiyan, she could easily earn six or seven work points a day.
But with him here, she probably wouldn’t even reach five.
She glanced at the weeds in the ridge after an hour, she had only moved twenty meters.
“I’m not thirsty. I can work myself. Stop causing trouble here!”
Shen Zhiyan pouted.
“Who’s causing trouble? I already talked to Uncle Niu. We don’t even need to work today you insisted on coming here to suffer.”
Song Yunlan rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m an educated youth. I’m healthy and have nothing else to do. How could I just not show up to work for no reason? People in the brigade will gossip about me.”
Shen Zhiyan didn’t care what others thought only about the people he cared for.
“Let them talk! Say whatever they want. As long as we live comfortably, who cares? Besides, we don’t need these few work points anyway.”
“It’s not about work points. I just need something to do. How can I stay home all day? I’d be bored.”
With the spring water enhancing her body, this kind of work was nothing to Song Yunlan.
After beating Liang Bo yesterday, she realized that after her rebirth possibly due to the spring water her strength was much greater than in her previous life.
For example, the standing wardrobe at home: in the past, she definitely couldn’t have moved it. Now, she could lift it effortlessly.
Of course, she hadn’t told anyone about this not even Shen Zhiyan.
“Alright then. Since you want to work, let’s treat it as a walk. I’ll accompany you.
I’ll start from the east side, and we’ll meet in the middle. After we finish this patch, we’ll go home and cook.
I had someone bring a wild chicken and hazelnut mushrooms. I’ll stew it for lunch you said before you wanted chicken stewed with mushrooms, remember?”
Song Yunlan looked at him with a smile in her eyes. She had only said it casually before, but he remembered it.
Indeed, life is not the same depending on who you share it with.
