Su Wen emphasized the importance of education, considering it the most important investment for a child. She saw it as the primary financial commitment, emphasizing the value of learning.
Contemplating the future, Su Wen envisioned two potential paths for Zhuang Zhuang. If he proved to be a promising student worth nurturing, she was willing to allocate additional funds, covering not just educational expenses but also living costs. Alternatively, if Zhuang Zhuang followed a path similar to Su Pingfan, she remained firm in her commitment to covering tuition fees.
The announcement left everyone, including notable figures like Li Youcai, accountant Xu, and the village department director, in a state of astonishment. The biggest concern for parents was their children’s education—hoping for success, envisioning a university education, and aspiring to a life beyond rural boundaries.
“Wenwen, I am completely convinced by you today. Let me know if you need help in the future,” remarked one of the onlookers.
“That’s right!”
“This promise is worth its weight in gold.”
“School is starting soon. Zhuangzhuang can enrol when he comes back,” Su Wen suggested.
“Good!” Accountant Xu nodded in agreement.
Zhou Hengyang tightened his grip on Su Wen, admiring his wife’s performance.
As they dispersed, Su Wen and the household grandpa, being neighbours, returned home together. Su Wen reminded him to be cautious, recalling Zhang Chunxiang’s vegetable theft.
“Last night, someone stole vegetables from my family garden. Please be cautious tonight, and make sure it doesn’t happen to yours as well. If anything occurs, don’t hesitate to call us,” Su Wen said.
The household grandpa happily agreed, “Alright! Thank you, Wenwen.”
“You’re welcome,” she replied.
Back home, Su Wen, still concerned, asked her fifth sister to bring him a flashlight and batteries for the night. Understanding the household grandpa’s limitations, she prioritized safety over catching the thief.
Realizing Zhou Hengyang had not left, Su Wen questioned his lingering presence.
“Hey, weren’t you going to buy a train ticket?” The implication was clear – why hadn’t he left yet?
Zhou Hengyang raised an eyebrow, asking with a meaningful tone, “Wenwen, are you trying to chase me away?”
“No, absolutely not.” She wouldn’t dare!
She was no fool, thinking that she didn’t get stronger just because the male lead portrayed himself as a live-in son-in-law with no status or capability in front of others.
When the male lead yielded to her, she was happy. But when he threatened her, she immediately cowered.
Su Wen prided herself on her survival wisdom, considering it a mark of her intelligence. Only someone very astute could possess such a wonderful character.
Zhou Hengyang’s deep gaze lingered on Su Wen for a long time without wavering. Noticing the fatigue in her eyes, he didn’t want her to accompany him to the county town. Thus, he reluctantly abandoned the immediate plan to obtain a marriage certificate.
“I’m leaving,” he declared, driving directly to purchase a train ticket.
“The big boss is finally gone,” Su Wen sighed, feeling powerless.
After instructing her fifth sister to pack her luggage, Su Wen returned to her room. She swapped the summer sleeping mat for a more suitable blanket and, with eyes half-closed, luxuriously lay on the bed. She slept deeply, and in her blissful state, she vaguely felt an itch on her face, as if a gentle breeze was tenderly caressing it.
Subconsciously, she attempted to push it away, but instead, someone kissed her. The man’s pa.s.sionate breath enveloped her, and in the daze of sleep, Su Wen couldn’t resist but embrace his neck, responding to the kiss with unbridled emotion.
