Chapter 557 Rejecting Qiao Chunyan and Bringing Zheng Juan Home

"Brother Bingkun, where are you going?"

Qiao Chunyan grabbed Zhou Chen who was about to go out.

She came here today, saying that she was having dinner with Li Suhua, but in fact, she came here for Zhou Chen.

Her mother has already told her that she will have more contact with Zhou Chen in the future to cultivate a relationship.

She didn't object to this point, and happily agreed. She grew up with Zhou Bingkun and had a good impression of Zhou Bingkun.

Now that Zhou Chen has matured a lot, and has found such a good job, which can be regarded as the number one in the film, she is of course more willing to be with Zhou Chen in her heart.

Women have matured earlier than men, and they have more ideas than men, and Qiao Chunyan is one of the best.

Zhou Chen said in a cold tone: "I'll go find them on National Day."

As soon as Qiao Chunyan heard it, she immediately said: "Then I will go together, just as I haven't seen National Day and Overtake them for a few days."

Zhou Chen glanced at her: "Didn't you say that you want to have dinner with my mother?"

Qiao Chunyan's tone faltered suddenly, but Li Suhua smoothed things over and said, "I don't need to accompany you, Chunyan, you can go with Bingkun."

Qiao Chunyan rolled her eyes, let go of Zhou Chen's arm, ran to Li Suhua's side in small steps, and took Li Suhua's arm.

"Forget it, aunt, I'd better have dinner with you."

Li Suhua was happy, but still patted the back of Qiao Chunyan's hand and said, "I'm an old woman, I don't need to accompany you, you young people have more topics to talk about together."

Qiao Chunyan insisted: "Auntie, I'd better accompany you."

"No need." Li Suhua's attitude was very firm.

So Qiao Chunyan had no choice but to go down the donkey and said, "Okay, then auntie, I will take you to our bathing pool next time, and then I will fix your feet to make you comfortable."

Li Suhua said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. I haven't been to the bathing pool for a long time. Next time you have to take me to have a look."

"That's okay. I'll take you there personally, take a shower, scrub your back, and get a pedicure. Everything will be arranged and you'll be served in a smooth manner."

Qiao Chunyan patted her chest and assured her that her strategy was very simple, as long as she took good care of the old lady, then the matter between her and Brother Bingkun would not be far off.

Zhou Chen was too lazy to watch them sing the oboe, and was about to leave when he opened the door. Qiao Chunyan saw it and hurried after her.

"Brother Bingkun, wait for me."

Walking outside the yard, Zhou Chen looked at Qiao Chunyan who was following him, frowned and said, "Chunyan, I really have something to do, you can either stay and eat with my mother, or go back."

Qiao Chunyan muttered: "Isn't it just to catch up with them on National Day? I want to go too."

Zhou Chen said impatiently: "Can you stop meddling in the game of our elders?"

His attitude was already so obvious that Qiao Chunyan was still stalking like he didn't understand. He didn't like this kind of behavior very much, and his feelings towards Qiao Chunyan were even worse.

Seeing Zhou Chen's blunt and impatient tone, Qiao Chunyan's expression changed, and she said aggrievedly: "Brother Bingkun, do you hate me now? Why did I make you unhappy? You want to treat me like this."

Zhou Chen was too lazy to break up with her, so he said straight to the point: "Chunyan, I understand what you mean, but what I want to tell you is that I already have a girl I like, and I will never marry her in my life, so, You don't have to waste any more time with me."

When Qiao Chunyan heard this, she immediately became furious.

"Who is it, brother Bingkun, who do you like? Is it from our optical film? Is there a better girl than me in the optical film?"

Good guy, where did she get such confidence and pride, Zhou Chen was speechless.

"It's not the girl from the optical film, but who it is is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Brother Bingkun, you are lying to me, aren't you? You just want to reject me in this way, don't you?"

Qiao Chunyan asked self-righteously.

Zhou Chen said it again very seriously: "I'm not bored enough to use such an excuse, I do have someone I like, and we are not suitable."

Qiao Chunyan automatically filtered the first half of Zhou Chen's sentence, grabbed the second half and asked, "Why are we not suitable? We grew up together and know each other so well. Your mother and my mother are good sisters. We know each other well. Yes, I like you, and you like me too, so why is it inappropriate."

"Hey, stop, I don't know if you like me or not, but I can tell you with certainty that I don't have that kind of affection for you."

Zhou Chen corrected Qiao Chunyan's mistake, and then said: "As for why we are not suitable, it is also very simple. I like a woman who can manage the house. I don't need her to have a job. As long as she stays at home, I come back every day." When we are young, we can have a mouthful of hot rice to eat, and when we have children in the future, we can take care of the children at home, take care of the elderly, and devote ourselves wholeheartedly to our family."

"Qiao Chunyan, can you do this? Can you not go out to work for me? You can't, so we are not suitable."

It is difficult to find a reason for others to accept yourself, but it really couldn't be easier to give an excuse for rejecting others.

"I……"

Qiao Chunyan wanted to say that she could do it, but seeing Zhou Chen's serious eyes, she couldn't say anything.

She is an ambitious woman, she cannot be willing to be a housewife.

"Okay, that's it, I'll go first."

Zhou Chen ignored Qiao Chunyan, turned around and left, he was going to visit Taiping Hutong.

Originally, because of Li Suhua's disapproval, Zhou Chen was going to delay for a while, and bring Zheng Juan back when he reached the legal age of marriage in this era, that is, 72 years.

But Qiao Chunyan's appearance today and Li Suhua's acquiescence forced him to change his mind and bring Zheng Juan back more than a year in advance to show Li Suhua.

When he came to Zheng Juan's house, he found that they hadn't come back yet, so he was waiting by the side.

After about half an hour, I saw Zheng Juan walking slowly on the snow, pulling a cart.

Zhou Chen greeted him immediately.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Zheng Juan was very surprised when she saw Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the car from Zheng Juan and said, "I have something to do with you."

"Ma'am, light."

Aunt Zheng and Zheng Guangming greeted Zhou Chen warmly.

Ever since they had the money and tickets given by Zhou Chen, the life of their family has been much better, so both Aunt Zheng and Zheng Guangming have already regarded Zhou Chen as a family.

With Zhou Chen's help, the trolley was quickly pulled to the door.

"Ma'am, I'm going to take Zheng Juan home and let my mother meet. What do you think?"

When Aunt Zheng heard this, she was overjoyed. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Although Zhou Chen was very kind to them now, but she hadn't formally married her daughter to get a certificate, and she was still a little uneasy.

"Okay, I have no objection, Bingkun, I will listen to you."

On the contrary, Zheng Juan was shy and nervous, and asked in a low voice: "Does it have to be now?"

Of course, she didn't reject seeing Zhou Chen's mother, but she was very worried. She didn't know whether Zhou Chen's mother would like her, and worried about what she should do if she was not satisfied with her.

After getting along with Zhou Chen for more than a year, she has already hung her heart on Zhou Chen, and feels that she will never marry anyone else except Zhou Chen in her life.

If Zhou Chen's parents disagree, she really doesn't know if she can bear it.

So now she is very anxious and nervous, but also full of expectations, hoping that Zhou Chen's mother will recognize her.

Zhou Chen looked at Zheng Juan's nervous expression, and said, "Well, it's now, you don't have to be afraid, no matter what, remember what I told you."

Zheng Juan remembered what Zhou Chen had said to her back then, and she felt a lot more at ease.

"Okay, I'm not afraid, then I'll go with you."

"We're leaving now."

Zhou Chen talked to Aunt Zheng and Guangming, and then pulled Zheng Juan towards home.

Zheng Juan, who was pulled by Zhou Chen, became more and more nervous after entering the optical film. Even though she kept cheering for herself, it was really hard for her to take another step outside Zhou's yard. verb: move.

Feeling the sweat in Zheng Juan's palm, Zhou Chen put down his hand pushing the door and turned to look at her.

"Zheng Juan, look at me."

Zheng Juan looked at Zhou Chen obediently, only to hear Zhou Chen showing a gentle smile.

"Juan'er, don't be afraid, I will always stand by your side, anytime, anywhere."

That short sentence made Zheng Juan feel an incomparably fulfilling sense of security, and she nodded heavily: "Yes."

Zhou Chen gently shook Zheng Juan's hand, then walked into the yard and opened the door.

As soon as Zhou Chen pushed the door open, he frowned and asked, "Chunyan, you haven't gone back yet?"

Originally, he thought that if he had made it so clear to Qiao Chunyan, Qiao Chunyan would retreat in spite of difficulties.

But seeing that Qiao Chunyan was still at his home, and was eating at the same table with his mother Li Suhua, this situation made him look a little ugly.

Zhou Chen was surprised, but Li Suhua and Qiao Chunyan were both shocked.

They saw Zhou Chen walking into the room holding a woman's hand, and looking at the appearance of the two of them, any fool could tell that their relationship was unusual.

Li Suhua's face was ugly, and he gave Zhou Chen a hard look, then looked at Zheng Juan, and instantly guessed Zheng Juan's identity.

Although she has never had a formal face-to-face with Zheng Juan, she has seen it once from a distance. This is the first time that she has met up close. She wants to take a serious look at this Zheng Juan. Lao Piada liked it so much that he didn't give up for almost two years.

Qiao Chunyan was both surprised and angry. She thought that Zhou Chen had lied to her before, but she didn't expect that Zhou Chen would drag a woman home in an instant.

Is this intentional to annoy her?
If Zhou Chen knew what she was thinking, he would definitely express his innocence. He brought Zheng Juan here, never thinking that he would meet Qiao Chunyan.

Qiao Chunyan was still there, but it didn't affect Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen introduced to Li Suhua: "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Zheng Juan, Juan'er, this is my mother."

Zheng Juan hurriedly bent down and shouted: "Auntie, hello."

Li Suhua didn't speak, just looked at Zheng Juan coldly.

She never expected that her youngest son would bring Zheng Juan tonight, even with Qiao Chunyan around.

If Qiao Chunyan went back and told her mother, where would she put her face, she would send her daughter here, but her son already had a girlfriend and brought her back in front of Chunyan.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable Li Suhua felt. She was actually a very good-tempered person. The main reason was that Zhou Chen brought her back today without discussing it with her, leaving her unprepared. That's why she was so annoyed.

Li Suhua didn't respond, Zheng Juan was very embarrassed, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just lowered her head nervously.

Zhou Chen couldn't stand it anymore, he came through a soul, and it would be nonsense to talk about how deep his relationship with Zhou's family is.

It's just that after nearly two years of getting along, he and Li Suhua have also developed a mother-child relationship, but they are "halfway mother and son" after all, and they are definitely not as good as a real mother.

And he has known Zheng Juan for more than a year, and he has already regarded Zheng Juan as his own woman, so of course he doesn't want to see conflicts between the two women he cares about most in this world.

"Mom, Zheng Juan is calling you, why are you in a daze?"

Li Suhua gave Zhou Chen a hard look, but still gave his son face, and said to Zheng Juan, "Zheng Juan, come and sit down."

Zheng Juan was still a little shy, but Zhou Chen unceremoniously pulled her to sit down by the table.

"Chunyan, it's so late, you still don't go home, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Zhou Chen asked Qiao Chunyan.

The more Qiao Chunyan looked at Zheng Juan, the more upset she felt. She thought that Zhou Chen fell in love with some kind of good woman, but it turned out like this?
No matter how you look at it, she thinks she is prettier than Zheng Juan. Why doesn't Brother Bingkun like her, but this woman, she must be a vixen.

"It's okay, it's still early, brother Bingkun, we grew up together, now that you have found a girlfriend, of course I want to get to know my sister-in-law."

As she said that, she introduced herself to Zheng Juan with a smile on her face: "Hello, Zheng Juan, my name is Qiao Chunyan, and I am Brother Bingkun's neighbor. We grew up together."

Zheng Juan replied restrainedly: "Hello, hello."

Qiao Chunyan asked with a smile: "Zheng Juan, who are you, aren't you from our optical film?"

Zheng Juan said truthfully: "I work in optical film, and I live in Taiping Hutong."

"Taiping Hutong?"

Qiao Chunyan was astonished. The optical film is already considered a poor place, but Taiping Hu is even poorer, more biased and chaotic than the optical film.

She thought that Zhou Chen had found a nice girl, but she didn't expect it to be a poor girl from Taiping Hutong.

"Zheng Juan, you..."

"Chun Yan."

Li Suhua suddenly interrupted Qiao Chunyan's questioning, and said kindly: "Chunyan, you have to go to work tomorrow, go back first, otherwise your parents will be worried."

She was very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's way of bringing Zheng Juan back privately, but no matter what, it was also a matter of their old Zhou's family. Before she asked, Qiao Chunyan asked outrageously. Strange.

Qiao Chunyan opened her mouth, and finally responded: "Okay, auntie, then I'll go back first, otherwise my parents will really worry."

"Chunyan, slow down when you go back, and tell your mother that I will talk to her tomorrow."

"Okay, Auntie, I will definitely take your words with you. Brother Bingkun, I'll go back first."

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "Well, slow down on the road."

Qiao Chunyan walked to the door, then turned to Zheng Juan and said, "Zheng Juan, Taiping Hutong is not far from the optical film, if you have time, come and play with me."

"Oh, good." Zheng Juan replied at a loss.

As soon as Qiao Chunyan left, the room suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere became weird.

"mom."

Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, Li Suhua interrupted the embarrassment, but suddenly said: "Kun'er, Mom understands what you mean, so, you go back to the room first, and I will talk to Zheng Juan in the back room."

Zhou Chen frowned and said, "Mom, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me. It was Zheng Juan who I pursued first."

Li Suhua snorted dissatisfied: "Kun'er, don't you even listen to your mother now?"

"No, Mom, I just..."

In the middle of the conversation, Zhou Chen found that Zheng Juan had pulled his clothes, shook her head at him, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, Auntie wants to talk to me, so I'll talk to Auntie."

Zhou Chen thought about it, and felt that it would not be very good if this stalemate continued. Since Li Suhua wanted to have a private chat with Zheng Juan, then she would do as she wished.

"Then I'll go into the room. Mom, Zheng Juan is a responsible person, so don't make things difficult for her."

Li Suhua said angrily: "What kind of person do you think your mother is, go into the house quickly, don't delay our conversation."

After Zhou Chen entered the room, he saw Li Suhua leading Zheng Juan into the inner room, and Zheng Juan followed carefully, like a wronged daughter-in-law.

Li Suhua seemed to be afraid that Zhou Chen would eavesdrop, so he closed the door tightly.

In fact, Zhou Chen had no intention of eavesdropping at all, he didn't care what Li Suhua said to Zheng Juan at all, he decided something, and Li Suhua couldn't change it with just a few words.

An hour later, I don't know what Li Suhua and Zheng Juan said, anyway, Zheng Juan was left to eat, and Zhou Chen didn't send Zheng Juan back to Taiping Hutong until after the meal.

On the way back, Zhou Chen asked Zheng Juan: "My mother didn't say anything unreasonable to you. If she did, don't take it to heart. No matter what she thinks, I'll just recognize you anyway. When we arrive If you are of legal age, go get a marriage certificate."

Zheng Juan was very moved when she heard the words, she said softly: "Auntie didn't say anything excessive to me, she just asked about my situation and told me about you."

"anything else?"

"Auntie wants me to leave you."

"Then you agreed?"

"No, I said I like being with you, as long as you still want me, I will always be with you."

Zhou Chen was startled when he heard this, and a few seconds later, he stretched out his hand to embrace Zheng Juan into his arms.

"Juan'er, you did the right thing. You are destined to be with me. No matter what others say in the future, you don't listen. Just remember that I won't want you, that's enough."

Zheng Juan also embraced Zhou Chen, and said softly, "Well, I see."

After sending Zheng Juan home safely, on the way back, Zhou Chen saw many drunks and bums wandering around Taiping Hutong, which made his expression serious.

Taiping Hutong is not only poor, but also chaotic. Eighty-nine percent of the people who live here do not have urban hukou, and no hutong means no job.

Young people without a job can only do temporary work except for fooling around, and more of them are reduced to low-ranking punks.

It is really unsafe to live in such a place, especially like Zheng Juan's house, which is old and small, there is no man in the house, and the door must be bitten and locked to be safe when sleeping at night.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen became more determined to get a house.

When I got home, I found that my mother, Li Suhua, hadn't slept yet, so she was sitting on the kang in a daze.

"You still know how to come back, I thought you would forget about your mother when you have a woman." Li Suhua said in a very aggressive tone.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly, sat down beside her, and put his arms around her body.

"Looking at what you said, even if I forget everyone, I can't forget you. You are my real mother. Is it important for a daughter-in-law to have a real mother?"

Li Suhua snorted coldly and said: "I think you said it the other way around in front of Zheng Juan, Bingkun, I found that you are really getting bigger and more disobedient now, and you led him into the door without even discussing with me. , if this is seen by others, maybe they will talk about our family behind our backs."

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "Anyone who wants to talk about it, let them talk about it. Let's live our own lives, it's none of their business."

"You don't care, your father and I care, Kun'er, if you tell your mother the truth, you really believe in this Zheng Juan?"

"Yes, Mom, I've decided on her, and she's the only one I won't marry in my life."

"Ugh."

Li Suhua sighed heavily. She found that since her youngest son went to work in a publishing house, his temperament has changed a lot.

In the past, Bingkun was naughty and mischievous, and did not do his job properly; but after working, he became mature and sensible, and his behavior seemed to have been improved all of a sudden.

But the only thing that hasn't changed is that his temper is still the same, no, it should be said that he has become more stubborn.

As long as he wants to do, there is nothing he can't do. It turns out that Bingkun listens to her about family affairs.

But for more than a year, the youngest son has taken care of the family, but he was the one who took the lead in everything that happened, and he was able to complete it very well.

To say that for more than a year, her youngest son has satisfied her everywhere, except for the matter of Zheng Juan, she just feels dissatisfied.

Just now she chatted with Zheng Juan for a long time. Even though she is still not satisfied with Zheng Juan, she has to admit that this Zheng Juan is indeed a very simple and responsible girl. She speaks very politely and is not in a hurry , this point cannot be pretended.

She has a good personality and good looks. Hearing Zheng Juan describe her family affairs, Li Suhua knew that Zheng Juan was a capable person.

But how hardworking and whether they can support a family's housework, it is impossible to judge without seeing it with your own eyes.

But after this conversation, she was no longer as resistant and dissatisfied with Zheng Juan as before, but felt a little pity for the child.

"Kun'er, Mom is an uneducated person. She doesn't understand any major principles. She just thinks that you are capable now. You are an editor in a publishing house. You are an educated person. If you find an uneducated person like Zheng Juan, I'm worried about you." Will regret it later."

Zhou Chen said: "Mom, my dad graduated from junior high school, but you don't even know the words. After you got together, did my dad regret it?"

Li Suhua gave Zhou Chen angrily, with an angry expression on his face: "You son of a bitch, you only know how to anger your mother. I'm talking about you. Why are you talking about me and your father?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "I'm just making an analogy. What I really want to say is that being educated or not is not the criterion for a happy marriage. Zheng Juan is uneducated. She can take care of the family. If I have the ability, I will take care of myself." If you cooperate with the outside and inside, you will be happier.”

"Okay, you are educated now, but Mom is an uneducated person, so I can't say no to you."

Li Suhua sighed, and said: "Mom is not blind, she can see how much that girl likes you, and she can't do the thing of beating a mandarin duck."

Zhou Chen was overjoyed immediately: "Mom, do you agree with me being with Zheng Juan?"

Seeing Zhou Chen so happy, Li Suhua felt bad, and snorted coldly: "I didn't say yes, and besides, it's useless if I say yes, you write a letter to your father, tell him about your affairs, and ask him If he agrees with his opinion, Mom will not object."

Zhou Chen's smile froze for a moment, but then he continued: "No problem, I will write to my dad now."

Seeing Zhou Chen hurried back to his room, Li Suhua shook his head helplessly: "This child."

Li Suhua hadn't seen her husband for more than a year, so Li Suhua naturally missed her very much, but she knew her man very well, and he might not agree to the matter of Bingkun and Zheng Juan.

What Li Suhua could think of, Zhou Chen could naturally think of, but he was still going to write a letter to Zhou Zhigang.

Anyway, the letter was written and notified. Whether Zhou Zhigang agrees or not is his business, and whether to marry Zheng Juan is his business.
