Chapter 126: Wishful Thinking

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A woman seeking a man willing to marry into her family needed to stand on her own two feet, taking on responsibilities as head of the family whose surname was to be passed down. Su Wen would wear the pants in her family. Would any man willingly let go of their pride?

...

Few. Very few.

Having reached a consensus, the chatting villagers shook their heads, sympathizing with Su Wen’s struggle.

There were not many men who would surrender their surname and take on that of their wives.

“He hasn’t made a move all morning. Is he planning something?”

They all felt it was the calm before the storm.

“I heard that girl, Su Wen, went into town today.”

As soon as the words fell, everyone caught sight of Su Wen. She was riding on a brand-new bicycle. The villagers were so shocked that they were on their feet instantly, their heads craning to get a better look. Staring with their mouths agape, they only woke from their stupor when Su Wen arrived before their little crowd.

“Su Wen, you bought a bicycle?”

“I didn’t buy it.” Su Wen slowed to a stop, expertly handling her new bike.

“Where would I get the money to buy a bicycle? This is a gift from one of

Hengyang’s friends.”

Su Wen chose her words carefully, downplaying Liu Chun’s role in the supply and distribution of bicycles in town and raising Zhou Hengyangs image as a good family man.

Other than that, she was generous with her praise.

Su Wen’s explanation was so natural that it left the villagers dumbfounded.

“Little Wen, are you serious?”

“Has Zhou Hengyang grown up?”

Su Wen tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, appearing somewhat shy, “Has he? He must be working hard. It isn’t easy running a business.”

This time, no one believed her.

Not only had he gifted Su Wen a bicycle, but he also gave her a special ticket. Things between the two seemed promising. Zhou Hengyang deserved Su Xuewen’s high evaluation of a good son-in-law.

Ai! No one would have dared to talk behind Zhou Hengyang’s back if they had known he was so successful.

Some villagers who had sided with Sun Dahai quietly changed their stance. Previously, everyone had thought that Zhou Hengyang had been chased away by Su Wen, leaving the seven sisters alone with no one to back them up. That would have made them easy targets.

However, contrary to their expectations, Zhou Hengyang left and became a successful businessman. Had he been chased away at all? No one could be certain anymore.

Su Wen cataloged the thoughtful expressions all around her and knew she had achieved her goal. She waved goodbye and went home to grab a bite.

As soon as she left, a villager who had a good relationship with the Sun family immediately shared the news with them.

Sun Dahe, the second son of the Sun family, was sharpening his knife in the courtyard with a deep scowl.

Sun Dahai sat at the dining table, gloomy. With his right arm broken, eating or dressing had become a chore. He had no choice but to use his left hand to hold his chopsticks to feed himself. It was no surprise that he had little success. Using more force than necessary, he stabbed his chopsticks into his bowl as if he bore a grudge against it.

Watching from the side, Sun Yunyun shivered in fear.

She had not had a good time. Her guilty conscience was exacerbated by how much her family doted on her.

None of this would have happened if she had not snatched Zhou Hengyang’s letter. Still, as much as she wished none of this unpleasantness had come to pass, Sun Yunyun could not find it in herself to regret her actions. She would do anything for her freedom, love, and the chance to be together with Zhou Hengyang.

It did not matter if no one understood her now; one day, they would understand the painstaking efforts she had undergone to attain her heart’s desire.

Sun Yunyun calmed down, having reaffirmed her conviction. She took the chopsticks from Sun Dahai’s hands and said, “Big Brother, let me feed you.”

“I don’t need your help.” Sun Dahai glared at his sister fiercely. “I want that wench, Su Wen, to feed me.”

The other members of the Sun family turned to him in shock.

“What’s wrong?” Sun Dahai growled. “Did I say something I shouldn’t? Since she broke my arm, shouldn’t she do this much for me?

Sun Yunyun hesitated. “Big Brother… Why don’t I go and get my sister-in-law?” Sun Yunvun did not dare consider such an event a Dossibilitv.

What was her brother thinking? How could he suddenly expect Su Wen to compensate him for what happened?
