This was the first time in Chen Xuan's life that she realized the absurdity brought about by the new culture. She didn't know what kind of monster this thing called "freedom" was that could make people disregard morality and ethics. To Chen Xuan, this was so incredible and unreasonable.
Chen Xuan has read books and read about Xiangru and Wenjun. Now, she has participated in Mr. Wen's salon, met some knowledgeable figures who could only be seen in newspapers, and even heard passionate speeches about democracy and freedom. However, Chen Xuan, who came from the countryside, still could not understand this kind of reckless freedom in the name of love.
Chen Xuan ignored Wei Nian for several days, which made Wei Nian want to tactfully terminate the teacher-student relationship with Zhao Cheng. Wei Nian certainly knew why Chen Xuan was unhappy, but Wei Nian's point of view was different from Chen Xuan's, and Wei Nian didn't think it was a big deal. However, Chen Xuan disliked Zhao Cheng so much, and compared to Zhao Cheng, Chen Xuan was naturally more important.
Wei Nian spoke tentatively, but Chen Xuan shook her head and said, "No need. Although I think Mr. Zhao is not a good person, Miss Qin is a good person. I see they are a little tight financially now. If they fire Mr. Zhao, it will be even more difficult for them. I heard from Miss Qin that she and Mr. Zhao are getting married. Well, if it can make Miss Qin live happily like this for the rest of her life, then Mr. Zhao can be a little bad." Anyway, Zhao Cheng has already firmly established himself as a bad guy in Chen Xuan's heart.
From then on, Chen Xuan no longer mentioned Zhao Cheng. Even if Zhao Cheng came every day, Chen Xuan would ignore him. The only person Chen Xuan interacted with was Miss Qin.
However, Chen Xuan could accept Miss Qin following her fiancé around before getting married, but Old Lady Wei Jin was disgusted. Fortunately, Miss Qin and Mr. Zhao got married soon. Chen Xuan also attended their wedding. It was very simple. Neither party's parents were present. They just invited close friends to have a drink. There was only one table of close friends, and it was full of men and women sitting together.
Chen Xuan and Wei Yin have known Miss Qin for a while. Although Miss Qin never mentioned her family background, it can be seen that Miss Qin must have had a good life in the past. After returning home, Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh and said to Wei Yin in private, "Miss Qin is too wronged."
Wei Yin also said, "Who says it's not true? I heard from Ah Shu that she was opposed by many friends when she was with Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao broke off relations with many of his friends because of this."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but say, "Although they are married, it's not good to say that. But if Miss Qin had not been with Zhao Cheng when we met, if I were Miss Qin's friend, I would also advise Miss Qin to think twice. Although free love is advocated now, you can't ignore your parents and family."
"Second sister-in-law, you don't know that Mr. Zhao proposed marriage to the Qin family, but the Qin family thought Mr. Zhao was poor and had no money, so they refused to agree."
"If you think he has no money, then go make some money!" Chen Xuan said immediately, "It's okay for his parents to think he has no money. Everyone hopes that their daughter will marry a family with a better financial situation so that they can live a more comfortable life in the future. Hey, which parents would pick the poor ones for their daughter? I'm not saying that, but the Qin family's parents said that because they are parents. If Zhao Cheng has a backbone, he should go make money! Even if he earns less, as long as he is willing to do his best, the elders of the Qin family can see his sincerity. Unless he is particularly narrow-minded, Miss Qin is willing to accompany him even through such a hard life. Just based on Miss Qin's heart for Zhao, as long as Zhao is willing to do his best, the Qin family will not object too much. He is good. If his parents are not happy, he will immediately abduct the person away. I'm not saying that based on his character, the Qin family's parents didn't misjudge him at the beginning. What a jerk! He is not worthy of Miss Qin."
Wei Yin was shocked by Chen Xuan's words. Wei Yin had always thought that Chen Xuan was also deeply influenced by the new culture. However, Chen Xuan's words were not wrong after thinking about it carefully. Wei Yin advised Chen Xuan, "Now that they are married, I hope they live a good life. It is not in vain that Miss Qin's kindness is wasted."
"That's all I can think of." Chen Xuan shook her head. "I'm not saying anything discouraging, but I just feel that this Zhao guy is not someone I can trust with my life."
Chen Xuan felt very sorry for Miss Qin and thought that she had married the wrong person.
Fortunately, the joy of the second wedding diluted the melancholy in Chen Xuan's heart. Wei Nian's good friend Cheng Su sent a wedding invitation. He was getting married and invited Wei Nian and Chen Xuan to attend the ceremony. Wei Nian and Chen Xuan were happy for Cheng Su. Chen Xuan even wanted to invite Cheng Su to dinner at home. It was Cheng Su who helped to find out about the Zhao family incident, which saved Wei Yin from a disaster. Chen Xuan thought that Cheng Su was a good person, so when Cheng Su came over, Chen Xuan served tea, water and fruit, not to mention how enthusiastic she was.
Cheng Su smiled and said, "I still have a few more families to go to. I have to personally deliver the wedding invitations to make it sincere. Next time when I am free, I will bring my wife over and let her learn from my sister-in-law."
"Whether you study or not, just bring your sister-in-law with you. I love making friends the most." Making friends is a new term that Chen Xuan has learned. She puts it into practice and is very excited. Chen Xuan happily sent Cheng Su out with Wei Nian. After sending Cheng Su away, Chen Xuan took the big red invitation and looked at it over and over again. She said to Wei Nian, "I think Brother Cheng is a very good person. He specially sent a wedding invitation. Brother Nian, we must prepare a generous gift for Brother Cheng. Last time, it was all thanks to Brother Cheng's help in the Zhao family incident."
Wei Nian smiled, "Don't worry about this. Take out the white wine that Smith gave me last time, and I'll buy another bottle of foreign wine to make a pair for him as a wedding gift."
Chen Xuan smiled, "That's good too."
Wei Nian discovered that Chen Xuan was much more serious about Cheng Su's wedding. Chen Xuan specially took out her newly made rose-red cheongsam with dark patterns in advance, ironed it early, packed everything neatly in the morning, looked happy, and laid out the gifts in advance. After breakfast, she was waiting to go to Cheng Su's wedding with Wei Nian.
Actually, Cheng Su's wedding was similar to Wei Nian's wedding. Cheng Su did not wear a suit and tie, but a long gown and jacket. Chen Xuan was a little surprised, thinking that Cheng Su was also a modern person like Wei Nian, so why did he hold an old-style wedding? However, this thought only flashed through her mind. Cheng Su looked very happy, the Cheng family was decorated with flowers, and Cheng's father and mother were smiling all the time. Chen Xuan thought, I was obsessed with appearances. As long as the newlyweds lived happily, what difference did it make whether it was a new-style wedding or an old-style wedding
Chen Xuan also went to the new house to see the bride. The bride was very shy and didn't look up for a long time. Chen Xuan didn't want to stay for too long, nor did she joke around like the people around her. She stood for a while and then went out to eat the wedding wine. The Cheng family's banquet was not bad. I heard from an unfamiliar lady that they invited the chef of Zhengyanglou to come to the house to cook. It can be seen that the Cheng family attaches great importance to marriage. It was Wei Nian who helped Cheng Su to drink a lot of wine. When the banquet ended and they went home, it was a little late. Chen Xuan hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, borrowed the Cheng family's phone, called a car, and helped Wei Nian take the car back home.
After returning home, she helped Wei Nian wash and take off his clothes, and then threw him on the kang to lie still. Chen Xuan took out her book to study.
Chen Xuan's enthusiasm for learning was not surprising to the Wei family, who were used to it. Anyway, it was a recognized fact that Chen Xuan read books every night, not to mention Wei Nian who lived in the same room with Chen Xuan. Even Miss Qin who often came to the Wei family, except for the first day when Chen Xuan accompanied her and talked for a long time, when Miss Qin came again, Chen Xuan just greeted her and then went to study.
Miss Qin was amazed and said to Wei Yin in private, "Second sister-in-law is really hardworking."
"That's right. I'm not bragging, but I've never seen anyone who loves learning more than my second sister-in-law." Wei Yin was very proud of this. She could talk to Miss Qin very well. When Wei Yin had something on her mind, she was willing to talk to Miss Qin and listen to her opinions. Wei Yin told Miss Qin that she wanted to learn French.
Miss Qin said, "I know a little French. If you don't mind, I can teach you."
Wei Yin was surprised that Miss Qin was so knowledgeable. Miss Qin smiled and said, "My French is OK, but my English is average. I used to study French literature at the Women's College of Arts and Sciences at Aurora University. Although I didn't finish, I still have the basics. Aurora University is a French Catholic university. The French courses at our school will only be better than those at Peking University, not worse."
Wei Yin hesitated again, and Miss Qin asked her, "Don't you want to learn French? Why are you silent again?"
Wei Yin said in a low voice, "I originally wanted to ask my neighbor, the eldest brother of the Xu family, to ask if there are any cram schools like the one I attend outside the university. None of the girls in my family study. The main reason I go to cram schools is that I don't have much money. If I ask you to teach me, I can't afford the tuition."
Miss Qin thought it was nothing, but when she heard Wei Yin talking about tuition fees so awkwardly, she couldn't help but laugh and said to her, "We are all friends, why are we talking about tuition fees! If I charge money, I won't teach you anymore."
Wei Yin thought about it and said seriously, "No, you have to teach me every day. You can't be absent-minded. Otherwise, I might as well go out and find a cram school. Although I can't afford the tuition for the time being, you can teach me first. In two months, when my strawberries are ripe, I will get a share of the profits from selling them, and I can pay for your course fees then."
Miss Qin was not very interested in the course fees, but she was very interested in strawberries. "I heard that strawberries were shipped from abroad when I ate them before. If I hadn't come to your house, I wouldn't have believed that they could be grown in our country. Ah Yin, did you grow these?"
"No, it was my second sister-in-law who planted it." Wei Yin said, "But I bought the earliest seeds. The strawberry seeds were originally brought back from the Russians. The person who sold the seeds said that he had tried to plant them for a long time but couldn't grow them. My second sister-in-law spent a lot of time and effort to finally grow them."
"Second sister-in-law is really capable."
"That's right." Wei Yin also felt proud of growing strawberries.
Miss Qin had a very good opinion of Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan had a very good opinion of Miss Qin... Ever since she learned from Wei Yin that Miss Qin had gone to college before and had not yet finished her studies, Chen Xuan was shocked at first, because she really could not believe that Miss Qin was so knowledgeable. After that, she felt deeply sorry.
Then, Chen Xuan's evaluation of Miss Qin dropped from a good girl who was naive and abducted by a scumbag to a fool who was confused and didn't study hard.
Yes, Chen Xuan thought that she had been admitted to university, but she ran away to Beijing to live for a man with bad character. This kind of thinking was a shame for the half-educated university education.
