Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 88 - Licking Dog

Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Licking Dog

“Xiangdong, thank you, you’re the only one who is kind to me,” said Chen Yanran, her eyes pitiable as she bit her lower lip and looked at Xu Xiangdong.

Xu Xiangdong’s face turned crimson under her gaze, and the big man was momentarily flustered. Yanran looking at him like that must mean she also had feelings for him.

“Yanran, I’ll head back first and come help you work in the afternoon,” Xu Xiangdong said awkwardly as he scratched his forehead.

Chen Yanran nodded, watching him leave, the disgust in her eyes no longer concealed.

Dong Wenzhong was unreliable now, preoccupied with his own troubles, unable to help her at all, and with the Dong brothers’ situation, Chen Yanran felt some resistance towards the Dong Family.

She needed to quickly find another person to use, and without a doubt, Xu Xiangdong, the naive and honest man, was the most suitable.

...

Chen Yanran’s eyes were filled with dejection as she looked into the distance, wondering when she would return to the city.

Thinking of the Youth Corps member from the neighboring village who was marrying a local, a flicker of unwillingness passed through Yanran’s eyes.

But as more and more people married into the village, life had clearly improved compared to before, making Chen Yanran somewhat hesitant.

If she really were to marry someone from the village, only the Xu Family could barely catch her eye.

Chen Yanran turned and walked briskly back to the Youth Corps residence. As soon as she entered, Sun Yunjuan, with tears in her eyes, cried out, “Yanran, you’re finally back.

Xu Shengcai is actually dating someone, and it’s a girl from the county, a working woman who is also pretty. I don’t stand a chance now.”

“From the city? What does she do?” Chen Yanran was somewhat surprised.

“She works at the supply and marketing cooperative, the one from Xu Ren Guo’s house in the village, Xu Qiuye,” Sun Yunjuan said dejectedly.

It was her, Chen Yanran was somewhat shocked, then quickly looked down on Xu Qiuye.

A good opportunity wasted, ending up dating a countryman, truly short-sighted.

“Sigh, this is going to be tough then. How did those two get together? I’ve never heard anything about them before,” Chen Yanran feigned sympathy.

Sun Yunjuan, thinking she understood her feelings, let her tears flow more freely. Her family background was much better than Xu Qiuye’s. If it weren’t for her relocating to the countryside, she would be no worse off.

Especially hearing that Xu Shengcai now had a partner, she was extremely heartbroken.

“I don’t know,” Sun Yunjuan cried sorrowfully, her previous arrogance nowhere to be seen.

Chen Yanran, disgusted, wiped off the tears that had fallen on her, careful not to let Sun Yunjuan’s snot touch her, and slowly moved to the side.

As she moved, Sun Yunjuan followed, continuing to sob.

“Yunjuan, what are you thinking then, just giving up or trying to win Shengcai’s heart?”

On hearing this, Sun Yunjuan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “He’s already with Qiuye, how can I win his heart? Besides, wouldn’t that make me the other woman?”

She was conflicted.

Chen Yanran disagreed. “What does being the other woman mean? They’re not married. If you like Xu Shengcai, why not bravely try something.

Are you saying you think you’re worse than Xu Qiuye, or not as pretty as her?

I think love doesn’t depend on who came first. It’s all about sincerity. If your love for Shengcai exceeds that of Qiuye’s, I think you should be with him.”

Sun Yunjuan, lifting her head, asked, “What should I do then? Should I go confess to Xu Shengcai?”

After saying this, Sun Yunjuan shyly lowered her head, this kind of thing was not easy for a girl to assert.

Chen Yanran smiled, leaned in, and whispered a few words into Sun Yunjuan’s ear. Her face turned a shade of red, and she quickly nodded.

Yingying still didn’t know that her second brother had recently been experiencing a lot of romantic attention. She just arrived in the county town with Mrs. Xu and, once there, Mrs. Xu went straight to the restaurant

to see how often her daughter worked and whether it was tiring or difficult.

As soon as the two entered the restaurant, Sun Lifang ran over with a face full of surprise and gave a big hug, “Yingying, aren’t you off today? Why did you come to the restaurant?”

“I brought my mom here for a meal,” Yingying pulled Mrs. Xu over and introduced her.

Upon hearing this, Sun Lifang politely turned to Mrs. Xu, “Auntie, hello. My name is Lifang, and I am Yingying’s colleague.”

“Oh, Lifang, isn’t this girl pretty? Do you have a partner yet?” Mrs. Xu asked cheerily as she held on to Sun Lifang, who was taken aback and somewhat at a loss.

Seeing her mom trying to set people up, Yingying quickly intervened, “Mom, are you hungry? I am, especially after that long bike ride.”

Hearing that her precious daughter was hungry, Mrs. Xu compassionately pulled her towards the dining table, but not before turning to Sun Lifang to say, “Daughter, I’m going to eat first.”

Sun Lifang nodded and hurried off to work.

“Mom, what do you want to eat?” Yingying asked, pointing at the menu. “There’s braised eggplant, spicy shredded potatoes, fish dumplings, pork noodles…”

Mrs. Xu, not wanting to spend too much, only ordered a plate of shredded potatoes and a Mapo tofu dish along with a few steamed buns.

When it was time to pay, Yingying added a dish of braised pork and braised fish, staying true to her promise that they’d have braised pork.

When the food arrived, Mrs. Xu, seeing the two meat dishes, winced, “Daughter, that’s quite a bit of money, isn’t it? We could make these at home. Why spend on them unnecessarily?

Besides, this chef surely can’t cook as well as you. This is a wasted meal.”

Chef Ge happened to be passing by, stumbled a bit, and took a hit to his pride: everyone referred to him as Imperial Chef, but there in front of him, this old lady preferred Yingying’s cooking to his.

That was quite demoralizing—not recognizing talent when they see it.

“Mom, don’t say that. Our restaurant’s Chef Ge is a really skilled cook, his ancestors were even Imperial Chefs, so please, just give it a try,” Yingying urged.

Mrs. Xu swallowed and, albeit somewhat irresistibly drawn by the aroma, knew she prized her daughter more.

Anyway, even if the meal was delicious, she wouldn’t admit it was better than her daughter’s.

The fatty pork in the braised pork dishes practically melted in the mouth, bursting with flavor, prompting an excited expression on Mrs. Xu’s face.

Of course, she didn’t forget to offer some to her daughter, “Daughter, hurry up and eat. Although it’s not as good as yours, it’s still Imperial Chef’s work and nevertheless shows skill.”

Yingying tried a piece of the braised pork and thought her mom was being modest; Chef Ge’s culinary skills were indeed impressive. The braised pork was melt-in-your-mouth, supremely savory.

Moreover, the dish’s bright red color and the tender, flavorful meat that was moist without being greasy made her think it was even better than what she cooked.

“Yingying, Aunt Xu!” Gu Fuying’s voice came from nearby, and Xu Qiuye quickly followed calling out, “Aunt Xu, Yingying.”

Since Yingying had been working as a chef here, Gu Fuying had almost come to eat every day, and naturally, she never forgot to bring Xu Qiuye along.

Ever since she learned that Xu Qiuye was the girlfriend of Yingying’s second brother, Gu Fuying sought to treat her well out of love for the whole family. And with that, their relationship grew closer.

Accountant Xu fully supported his daughter in socializing with them, especially since the Gu family’s status was much higher than theirs.

“Qiuye, Fuying, have you eaten? Sit down and join us. My daughter insisted on ordering all this food. How can the two of us finish it?” It would be a waste otherwise.

Mrs. Xu felt heartbroken.
