Old Lady Zhang's Rebirth: Going Mad! Severing Ties with Family! Becoming Incredibly Rich!

"What happened?"

Yu Cheng smiled to cover up his embarrassment, "Xia Zhi, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing."

Zhao Xiazhi smiled and didn't say much.

Zhao Xiazhi is a child who listens to advice.

Although she didn't completely agree with what her mother said, she still silently observed Yu Cheng's reaction when he took out the money to park the car.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

She did see a hint of heartache on Yu Cheng's face, but before she could observe him closely, a smile appeared on his face.

She must have misread it.

Holding the egg in her hand, Zhao Xiazhi silently comforted herself. Yu Cheng had always been a thoughtful, considerate, gentle, and generous person. He was so good to her, how could he possibly be stingy about a penny for parking?

The two walked side by side in the square, their expressions and postures clearly showing they were a couple deeply in love.

The people around them stared in disbelief, turning their heads frequently to look, unable to understand how such a beautiful girl like Zhao Xiazhi could be so blind as to choose such an ugly partner.

Yu Cheng was a little unhappy.

He particularly dislikes people who judge others by their appearance.

So what if I'm a little ugly?

Does being ugly disqualify you from having a partner?

He's ugly, yet he managed to find someone as beautiful as Zhao Xiazhi, which shows he's capable. I don't know what these people are so jealous about.

Zhao Xiazhi didn't pay attention to any of this and followed Yu Cheng to the cinema to queue for tickets.

Zhao Xiazhi originally wanted to watch "Hibiscus Town" starring Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen, but Yu Cheng bought "The Battle of Taierzhuang" without asking her. Since Yu Cheng was paying for it, Zhao Xiazhi didn't say anything.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

But I can't quite put my finger on why I feel uncomfortable.

There were a lot of people coming to the movies on Sunday, and the crowd carried the two of them forward. Yu Cheng was excited and took the opportunity to grab Zhao Xiazhi's hand.

"There are too many people, don't let them separate us." In the midst of the chaos, Yu Cheng loudly explained to Zhao Xiazhi.

"..."

Boom boom boom!

Zhao Xiazhi's heart pounded wildly.

This was the first time in her life she had ever held hands with a gay man… Zhao Xiazhi’s cheeks flushed, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

Zhao Xiazhi's palms were sweating nervously, but seeing that the couples around her were holding hands, she didn't pull her hand away.

Yu Cheng's palms were sweaty; he wasn't nervous, he was excited.

Zhao Xiazhi was shy. After dating for three months, apart from casually touching hands when giving him eggs every day, this was the first time he had actually held Zhao Xiazhi's hand properly.

No wonder she's a city girl.

Zhao Xiazhi's hands were delicate and tender, far superior to those of the girls in her hometown who carried baskets up the mountain to do farm work.

I wish I had known we would hold hands while watching a movie.

He should have taken Zhao Xiazhi to the movies a long time ago.

The movie theater was pitch black.

Upon entering the screening room, Yu Cheng pulled Zhao Xiazhi straight to the last row of seats. The last row had a poor view and the fewest people. Yu Cheng hadn't brought Zhao Xiazhi out just to watch a movie.

"Should we sit in the last row? The middle seats are the best," Zhao Xiazhi said, puzzled.

"I want to talk to you more; sitting in the middle will disturb others."

"..."

Zhao Xiazhi blushed and sat quietly without saying a word.

The screening room gradually filled up with people, with only the last few rows not being full.

When the time comes.

All the curtains in the screening room were drawn, and the projectionist began playing the film. As the film played, the screening room gradually quieted down.

The last row is the darkest.

Yu Cheng held Zhao Xiazhi's hand tightly, his eyes not even looking at the movie; his squinted eyes seemed to want to stick to Zhao Xiazhi's face.

Zhao Xiazhi's face flushed red under his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're good-looking."

Yu Cheng moved closer to Zhao Xiazhi, showering her with sweet words like they were free: "The moment I saw you when I entered the factory, I was deeply attracted to you... I thought to myself, it would be great if we could be a couple."

"I never thought God would be so kind to me and make my dream come true. The day you agreed to date me, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night. It felt like a dream."

"..."

How could Zhao Xiazhi, a young girl who had never been in a relationship, resist such sweet words?

Even the roots of her ears turned red.

Yu Cheng narrowed his eyes and, taking advantage of Zhao Xiazhi's inattention, leaned even closer, saying, "It would be great if we could get married sooner."

"No, that won't work."

Zhao Xiazhi shook her head. "My mom said that I'm not allowed to talk about marriage if I'm not twenty years old."

"Can't you go back and talk to your parents properly? I really want to marry you as soon as possible. Don't you want to marry me sooner?"

Yu Cheng coaxed, "Once we're married, we'll have our own little family. We can care for and support each other, and work hard to make our lives better. Isn't that good?"

"..."

Zhao Xiazhi remained silent.

In the past, she would have been tempted by these words.

She used to think that her parents only doted on the older children and cared too little about her and Qiuzhi, especially after she started working. She could count the number of times she spoke to her parents each day on one hand.

She longed for her parents' care and attention, but they were too busy. They were so busy that they could barely exchange two words with her before being called away by their nephews and nieces.

Over time.

She stopped expecting anything.

Zhao Xiazhi began to look forward to finding a partner. She didn't care about looks or job; she just wanted someone with a simple family background who always kept her in mind.

Yu Cheng appeared at this time.

Zhao Xiazhi was dating him with marriage in mind, but she's no longer in a hurry to get married.

Over this period of time, she has come to understand.

It wasn't that her parents didn't care about her and Qiuzhi; it's just that there were too many people in the family before, and they had to worry about everything. The elderly couple had limited energy, so they could only help the children who were having difficulties.

She and Qiuzhi both had jobs but weren't married, so they had fewer things to do than their married older siblings, and their parents paid less attention to them.

Other people's sons are treasures while their daughters are worthless.

My daughter had to hand over all her wages before she got married, and she could only receive a few dollars of pocket money each month.

Her parents had never asked for her and Qiuzhi's wages before.

Compared to other people's parents.

Her parents are already good enough.

They really don't care about her and Qiuzhi. Why would Mom be afraid she'd be cheated and painstakingly teach her so many principles? She just casually gave her some money for a dowry and sent her away.

Zhao Xiazhi felt very guilty.

She used to be narrow-minded and thought too badly of her parents.

Once a girl gets married, it becomes difficult to spend as much time as her parents. Zhao Xiazhi wants to spend more time with her parents now and is not in a hurry to get married at all.

Yu Cheng was still trying to persuade Zhao Xiazhi, "...I was impolite last time. As long as you agree, I will bring my parents to your house next week to propose marriage. Xiazhi, you should talk to your parents properly. How can parents go against their children's wishes? As long as you are firm in your attitude, your parents will definitely agree."

"But my parents will be sad if I don't behave!"

Zhao Xiazhi pulled her hand away, a little unhappy. "I'll be twenty in a little over six months. Can't you even wait a little over six months? I know you're afraid things might change, but I'm dating you with marriage in mind. Don't you even have that much faith in me?!"

"Don't bring up marriage for now, or I'll get angry!"

P.S.: I had something to do today, so only one chapter. Sorry for the inconvenience!
