The Male Lead’s Wife in the ’80s

The Male Lead’s Wife in the ‘80s Chapter 14- How Should She Explain to Chi YunChen?

What did he know? He didn’t know anything!

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but she had closed her eyes and had seemed to be sleeping. He frowned and restrained from asking questions.

He couldn’t get the answer tonight. He would ask her tomorrow!

A night without a word.

Su Man-er got up early the next day.

After a full sleep, she felt full of strength. She planned to make a big breakfast for everyone in the morning.

When she went to the kitchen to light the fire, she discovered that her body had the smell of iris.

She was shocked.

How was it possible? She was not a flower demon now. How could there be…the smell of iris?

It was really strange.

Now that she suddenly had this smell on her body, how could she explain it to the others?

Should she say she was wearing perfume?

But there was no perfume in the world that could compare with the smell of iris.

Especially when perfume had not been developed yet.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly sighed and raised her hand to massage her eyebrows.

Forget it, she wouldn’t think about it.

Different situations call for different actions. When Chi YunChen really asked her, she would talk about it.

……

She worked in the kitchen for more than an hour. As soon as breakfast was ready, Chi YunChen, Grandmother Chi, Sister-in-law, JiaYue, and the others got up.

Xiao JiaYue smelled the aroma of delicious food in the air, and then he firmly inhaled, “It smells so good. Third Aunt must have made delicious food again.”

Su Man-er looked up at him and smiled: “Yes, I made some delicious food this morning.”

“Oh, that’s great. There’s delicious food again. I’m so happy,” Xiao JiaYue was so happy that he clapped his hands and cheered.

And Chi YunChen went to Su Man-er.

He looked at Su Man-er, his face serious, “In the future, you don’t have to get up so early in the morning! You can sleep more in winter!”

Seeing how she woke up so early, her hands were frozen and red, and he faintly had a strange feeling in his heart.

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but after a pause, he finally stopped the thought.

Grandma Chi and Xiao WanXiu, who were beside them, all smiled happily. YunChen’s wife was virtuous. Only the Chi’s had such a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law.

While Hong YaShan smelled the fragrance in the air, she moved her nose slightly and there was a trace of puzzlement in her face.

Besides the aroma of food, there was another aroma in the air. It seemed that…it was a floral fragrance.

She was just about to ask Grandma Chi and the rest if they could smell it when an uninvited visitor came in from outside the courtyard.

The uninvited guest was Su Man-er’s little aunty.

Gu ChunMei stepped into the courtyard door. She looked at the Chi’s standing in the courtyard. She raised her lips and smiled. Her sharp voice spilled from her mouth and said, “Oh, you’re all up. Since you’re all up, that’s good. I was afraid that you weren’t up yet.”

When she spoke, she smelled the aroma floating out from the kitchen. She frowned and looked at the kitchen.

She didn’t know what breakfast the Chi’s made, how could it be so fragrant?

Su Man-er didn’t have a good impression of her little aunty.

When she was at the thatched hut yesterday, this little aunty hit her when she was down.

She knew that her little aunty was jealous of her maiden family, her maiden family’s good life, and their ability to live in town.

But she didn’t expect that her little aunty would go crazy and help outsiders smear her.

Such a little aunty couldn’t be called family. She was even more terrible than the enemy!

“Is there something?!”

Su Man-er asked with a cold voice and a heartless face.

Qiao XinXin, who stood behind Gu ChunMei, had a dark face. She looked at Su Man-er, and the hatred in her eyes was about to overflow.

Yesterday she wanted to pair Su Man-er with Zhao DaShun. She wanted to damage Su Man-er’s reputation.

But she didn’t know what happened afterward. Unexpectedly, she was lying together with Zhao DaShun.

After yesterday’s event, she now had to admit to the outside world that she was dating Zhao Dashun and had to marry that Zhao DaShun!

Because if she didn’t tell the outside world that she was dating Zhao DaShun, then she and Zhao DaShun would be promiscuous. Promiscuity was much more serious than the normal dating between men and women!

Now she had no one else to marry except Zhao DaShun. Because no one else dared to marry her, a woman with a bad reputation!

But she didn’t want to marry Zhao DaShun. How was Zhao DaShun worthy of her? He wasn’t even worthy of carrying her shoes!

And all this was caused by Su Man-er. Why did Su Man-er not “cheat” with Zhao DaShun? Why did she resist and come through with a bad idea! All of this was caused by Su Man-er!

She clenched her teeth tightly and suppressed her resentment. She exerted all her strength to smile and said, “Cousin, we are here today to borrow something from you.”

“Borrow something?” Su Man-er raised her eyebrows: “I have nothing to lend you. Go back.”

“Hey, what’s the matter with you, kid? You didn’t even ask us what we were going to borrow and said you had nothing to lend. You must not want to lend. Why are you so stingy, kid?!” Gu ChunMei’s face immediately fell and scolded Su Man-er with great dissatisfaction.

Su Man-er lightly sniggered. She was going to respond, but Chi YunChen said, “No matter what you want to borrow, we don’t want to lend! Please leave, we are going to have breakfast!”

Although Chi YunChen’s voice was cold and heavy, his attitude was not excessive.

But Gu ChunMei jumped up because of this.

Gu ChunMei’s face became extremely ugly. Her eyes glared at Chi YunChen and said, “Did we ask you to borrow something? What are you interfering for? I’m asking my niece, Su Man-er, not you! Don’t be nosy!”

Gu ChunMei disdained Chi YunChen. She looked down on him very much. She didn’t even want to look him in the eyes with such a poor person like Chi YunChen.

Gu ChunMei’s words made everyone in the Chi’s have their faces fall.

Chi YunChen’s face was cold. His thin lips opened gently and he said, word for word, “This is my home! You came to my house to show off. Who gave you the face?!”

""

“You…” Gu ChunMei ground her teeth and wanted to refute while Su Man-er said with a sneer: “You still want to borrow things with this attitude. Hurry up and roll. I don’t want to take care of you!”

She said to roll! The word, roll, really gave them no face.

This was because she felt that she didn’t have to give face to Gu ChunMei.

They didn’t give face to her husband. Why should she give face to them?

“Su Man-er, you…” Gu ChunMei turned her eyes and stared at Su Man-er. She opened her mouth to scold Su Man-er, but her husband, Qiao ZhengGuo, suddenly pulled her.

Qiao ZhengGuo pulled her a step back, glared at her, and said, “Okay, don’t be a disgrace! You’re here to borrow things, not fight!”

Gu ChunMei: “…” Although she was domineering outside, she was afraid of her husband at home. After all, all the income in her family depended on her husband. For her, her husband was her sky and land!

She took a look at her husband. Although she wasn’t able to scold Su Man-er and was a little unwilling, she still listened to her husband and stood in the back in silence.

“Man-er,” Qiao ZhengGuo advanced two steps. With a smile on his face, he looked straight at Su Man-er and said, “Don’t worry about your little aunty. Your little aunty just has this kind of nature. She argues a point to death.”

Su Man-er looked at Qiao ZhengGuo.

This little uncle looked very generous.

But…

She could see the scheming and hidden fierceness in her uncle’s eyes.

This uncle was not as simple as he seemed.

Seeing that Su Man-er didn’t answer, Qiao ZhengGuo spoke again: “Man-er, you and XinXin are cousins. Sisters should help each other. XinXin is going to be married in a few days. She doesn’t have a wedding dress for her marriage. We thought of how you had just gotten married and thought that your wedding dress was very beautiful. So we wanted to borrow your wedding dress to use.” (1)

Su Man-er recalled that during the original owner’s marriage, she wore a wedding dress.

The original owner’s Second Uncle had found someone and ordered her wedding dress. It was very beautiful and luxurious. If it was sold, it would be sold for more than 100 yuan. After all, the materials and workmanship were of the best quality.

She didn’t expect that the Qiao’s had ideas about her wedding dress.

If she lent her wedding dress, she probably wouldn’t be able to get it back, right? After all, Gu ChunMei and Qiao XinXin were so shameless. If they got the wedding dress, they would surely take it for themselves.

There was a trace of an unsympathetic smile on her face. Su Man-er looked at Qiao ZhengGuo and said slowly, “Uncle, I’m sorry. I’m not going to lend my wedding dress. After all, it’s something I wore when I got married. It means a lot to me. I don’t want to share it with others.”

“Cousin,” Qiao XinXin’s eyes were sad. Crystal tears glistened in her eyes.

She quickly came forward, wanting to pull Su Man-er’s wrist, but Su Man-er avoided her.

Su Man-er’s avoidance made her eyes darken.

She clenched her teeth and there was a flash of extreme hatred in her eyes.

But she soon calmed down.

She bit her lip, looked at Su Man-er weakly, and said: “I know that your wedding dress has a different meaning to you. But I really don’t have a wedding dress to wear. You know my family circumstances. Our family has just built a house and all our money has been spent. If there was still some money, I would definitely spend my own money to order a wedding dress. But now, now…”

As she spoke, she shed tears. She had a very sorrowful and sad look.

Su Man-er wouldn’t fall for this. Qiao XinXin’s behavior might be effective towards men, but not for her.

She took a look at Qiao XinXin and said coldly: “Then don’t wear a wedding dress! Many people in the village get married without a wedding dress. If you don’t wear it, it’s ok.”

Qiao XinXin: “…”

She furrowed her brows, choking on Su Man-er’s words.

And Gu ChunMei jumped up again, pointed to Su Man-er’s nose, and scolded: “Su Man-er, you are stingy, you are a miser! Will you die if you lend my family’s XinXin your wedding dress? Will you die? What different meaning makes you unable to share! You just don’t want to lend it, you just don’t think of us as your family!”

As she spoke, she also lowered her head and wiped her tears like Qiao XinXin: “My Elder Sister is such a generous person, how could she have a daughter like you. If my Elder Sister was here, she would lend it. She won’t be stingy like you. My family’s XinXin is so pitiful. She can’t even wear a wedding dress for her marriage. It’s really pitiful.”
