In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 89: Extremely Distressed

After Chen Ruotong left, Qiao Zien also hurried to the academy to study. As soon as she entered the gate, she met Fang Wenxuan.

Fang Wenxuan stepped forward and greeted, "Zi En, good morning!"

When Qiao Zien saw Fang Wenxuan, she was furious and pushed him aside, "Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Fang Wenxuan was puzzled. When Qiao Zien greeted him in the past, he would just ignore her and walk away. Why did he do it today?

Fang Wenxuan felt very wronged, but he could only bear it silently. Who told him that he couldn't let go of Qiao Zien? He could only be a silent guardian, not disturbing him anymore, and just seeing him every day was enough.

Qiao Zien seemed to understand Fang Wenxuan's feelings, but he was different from Fang Wenxuan.

His heart was in turmoil. He had become accustomed to life with Chen Ruotong. Without her, his heart felt empty and he felt very uncomfortable!

But he was afraid of this kind of feeling. It was wrong to like men. He wanted to straighten himself out, but it seemed difficult.

Qiao Zien cannot concentrate in class and is always distracted. The teacher has told him this twice.

After class, Fang Wenxuan was worried about him, so he came over to ask him what made him absent-minded.

Qiao Zien really wanted to punch Fang Wenxuan in the head, but he controlled himself, ran out of the school, and calmed down alone.

He thought of his elder brother in his previous life, Qiao Zinian.

Qiao Zinian was two years older than Qiao Zien, and was also a man of both literary and martial talents. When he was 20, he went to a theater to watch a play and fell in love with an actor. He eloped with him despite his family's dissuasion and went abroad.

His grandfather was like this, and was angered to death by his eldest brother. During the Republic of China, homosexuality was not uncommon, but the Qiao family had strict family rules and could not tolerate the existence of such a son who brought disgrace to the family.

Ideological education and forced force made Qiao Zinian more determined in their love. When her family wasn't paying attention, she secretly ran away and went abroad with the actor.

Qiao's father was so angry that he fell seriously ill. He quarreled with Qiao's mother all day long, blaming her for not educating her children well, ruining the good reputation of the Qiao family, and making people criticize her.

In order to save the country and find his elder brother, Qiao Zien went abroad, but he never found his elder brother. I wonder if his elder brother is living happily in some corner of the world?

At that time, he was extremely confused and could not accept the fact. The lofty image of his elder brother in his heart collapsed instantly. He even despised and resented Qiao Zinian.

But now he understood his elder brother's feelings. At least his elder brother and the actor were in love with each other, but what about him? It was just unrequited love!

If Chen Guchuan found out about his dirty thoughts, what would happen? He would definitely laugh at him, hate him, and abandon him!

Qiao Zien was full of thoughts and his heart was in a mess. Although he had lived two lives, he had never experienced love. He didn't know how to deal with this relationship that shouldn't have happened, and he was extremely distressed!

He didn't know when he started to like Chen Guchuan. At first, he wanted to be friends with him simply to repay his kindness and protect him. But then things changed. He became more and more concerned about him and worried about him. He thought it was just an ordinary friendship, but he didn't expect it to develop to this point.

He wanted to stop, but he couldn't control himself. Is this what love feels like? Sweet and bitter! But they have no result and will be despised by the world!

He felt sorry for Brother Furukawa and even insulted their friendship.

That night, he had a dream. He dreamed that he and Chen Guchuan were harvesting in the farm. He dreamed that they had a happy time playing together in the golden rice fields, he ran and he chased, laughing and playing. He caught up with him and threw him down. The two of them hugged each other, heard each other's heartbeats, saw themselves in each other's eyes, and breathed each other's breath...

The next morning, he found his underwear, uh, indescribable...

Qiao Zien felt that he had offended Chen Guchuan, and he felt guilty! He felt sorry for him!

Chen Ruotong only enjoyed the aristocratic life in the luxurious villa for five days, and then she and her family arranged a blind date for Chen Erjiang.

Old Man Chen thought that his eldest granddaughter worked hard to earn money, so she didn't need to worry about the second granddaughter's marriage, so he said: "Grandson, the ground grain has been bagged and stored. The half of the grain sent to the hometown has been sent by Bai Biaotou. I hope that this grain can allow the villagers to have a good winter.

Old grandson, you don't have to pay for your second brother's betrothal gift. Grandpa has money. Your second and third brothers have made a lot of money recently. Your third brother and Ruixi have already prepared the hardware. Besides, what Shopkeeper He values ​​is your second brother's character and the future of our family. The girl won't mind that the betrothal gift we give is too small..."

Chen Ruotong insisted: "We agreed last time that the three brothers will be treated equally. Your grandson doesn't need that little money. Do you know how much money I earn a month? What do I save that money for? Isn't it to make the family live happily? Money is meant to be spent, not saved!"

Old Man Chen was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Old Mrs. Chen also nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, listen to the old grandson. The old grandson is our little god of wealth and a little lucky star! With the old grandson around, our Chen family will become more and more prosperous!"

Chen Ruotong said with longing: "When my brothers get married, grandpa and grandma will become great-grandpa and great-grandma, and our family will have four generations living under one roof. What a happy family it will be!"

Chen Ruotong prepared the same betrothal gift as Chen Sanhe and gave it to Chen Erjiang.

Chen Erjiang's eyes were filled with tears. He took the gift list and said, "Thank you, fourth brother. I am willing to work for you for the rest of my life!"

Chen Erjiang and Chen Sanhe both knew that their sister had changed her mind and was kind to their whole family sincerely, treating them as real family members. It was really amazing that they could achieve this!

They know how to cherish and know when to stop. They can't be greedy and ask for endlessly. Even family members have to have a limit! The only thing they can do is to love this sister well and work hard for her, which is actually working for themselves.

Time passed quietly and came to the first day of October, the day when Chen Erjiang and He Xiaolian got engaged.

The two families arrived at Wangchun Tower very early. In the early winter weather, eating antique hotpot is the best choice, which is both delicious and warm!

This pair of handsome men and beautiful women really makes people happy when they see them. Both families are very satisfied with this marriage. After the two children met, they were attracted to each other and appreciated each other. It was a good marriage!

After the matchmaker finished reading out the gift list, Chen Jianshu personally handed it to Manager He.

Shopkeeper He had never expected that the Chen family would be so generous. It seemed that they were indeed very wealthy! He had chosen a good marriage for his daughter, and could rest assured that he could marry his daughter off to Pingyang Prefecture.

The two families agreed on the wedding date, and the wedding will be held on the tenth day of the tenth month next year.

The He family and the Chen family became relatives, taking care of and supporting each other. The business of the two families will grow bigger and better.

After the banquet, the He family moved into the Chen residence. Because it was getting late, they could only leave for Chaoyang Prefecture the next morning.

Chen Ruotong also invited Qiao Zien to stay at Chen's house for a night. Qiao Zien had never been to this mansion during the day except for visiting Chen's house at night. Chen Ruotong wanted him to stay there and experience the luxurious life of the rich.
