Chapter 288 I'm Going to Be a Second Wife
"Sister-in-law, look at this carefully!"
She leaned over the bed and suddenly said something. Jiang Shuqian looked at the exquisitely beautiful little baby and liked it very much.
"Little brother, you're handsome too."
Helian Zhiyan: ...
Oh right, she's still dressed as a little boy, so it's normal that you can't tell.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but just as she was about to fall asleep, there was finally a noisy commotion outside the door.
It turns out everyone's come to make a ruckus in the wedding night.
The village children were all dressed very neatly today, and the little ones lined up and rolled around on the wedding bed.
The liveliness inside the room only lasted a short while, because Xie He had previously said that the bride was shy.
Everyone just wanted to have some fun and that was it.
Jiang Shuqian woke up very early the next day. Xie He saw her coming downstairs and asked with a smile, "Qianqian, why didn't you sleep a little longer? It's still early."
Jiang Shuqian shook her head. "I've come to see if there's anything I can help with at home. I hope Mother won't think I'm clumsy."
Even though she had heard it many times yesterday, Xie He was still overjoyed to hear the word "mother" so early in the morning.
After Jiang Shuqian finished washing up, her breakfast was also set on the table.
As the family members gradually got up, Wen Zi'an wanted to put everything in front of Jiang Shuqian at the dinner table.
"Qianqian, my mom's vegetable rolls are the best, you should try one."
"You've probably never tried the soup dumplings my little sister makes, have you?"
"These are fruits grown by my older brother. They're very sweet; eat them later."
……
Wen Luozhi had a steamed bun in her mouth, her eyes fixed on the couple.
Jiang Shuqian noticed that everyone was watching them and nudged Wen Zian lightly with her elbow, whispering, "Husband, everyone's watching."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to eat what was in her bowl, her ear tips turning slightly red.
Seeing that Wen Zi'an was about to raise his head, everyone quickly looked away, but they couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces.
"Qianqian, we've prepared everything for your homecoming visit."
"Don't forget to take this when you and Zi'an go back tomorrow."
After the meal, Xie He took Jiang Shuqian to the storeroom and pointed to a pile of things on the shelf, giving her instructions several times.
Jiang Shuqian looked up at the items on the shelf and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
There's too much; her parents will definitely scold her when she gets back.
Wen Zi'an went to town, and Zhou Shen saw him and punched him hard on the shoulder, "Congratulations, Brother Zi'an!"
He was too busy yesterday to get away, and only heard Zhou Yun tell him how lively it was when she came back.
Wen Zi'an looked at him with mixed feelings, but ultimately didn't say much.
He occasionally ran into Dao Zhou these days and felt that Dao Zhou had changed a lot.
As for when it started to change, it was when Helian Yue was with his sister.
He understood, but given his sister's personality, Zhou Shen's persistence wouldn't be a good thing.
He patted Zhou Shen on the shoulder, and the two brothers went to Baiweizhai together.
Li Qiao'er was waiting at the door early in the morning. When she saw Wen Zi'an arrive, she excitedly rushed over, but Zhou Shen pushed her away.
"What is Miss Li trying to do?" He stood in front of Wen Zi'an, blocking his way.
Now my good brother is married, and his wife is a young lady from the Jiang family.
With so many people coming and going, it would be terrible if others spread rumors about it.
Li Qiao'er glared at him and said, "Get out of my way!"
She tiptoed and looked hesitantly at Wen Zi'an behind Zhou Shen.
She hadn't seen him for only a few days, but why did she feel that this man looked more masculine?
"Fourth Brother Wen, you...you're really married?"
"My heart is breaking."
Her eyes welled up with tears, making her look pitiful.
"Whether my fourth brother is married or not is none of your business!"
"Who do you think you are, dying or not? Just don't die in front of my house."
Wen Zizhou rushed out of the house, holding a broom, and swung it at Li Qiao'er a few times.
Li Qiao'er was furious, but she still brazenly choked back tears and said, "It's alright that Fourth Brother Wen is married, I... I can be a concubine."
"I truly have you in my heart."
As she spoke, she pinched her thigh hard, forcing tears to flow.
She saw it all that day—thirteen carriages! Each one was packed full.
I heard that the dessert shop and cosmetics shop in town already belong to Miss Jiang!
Unexpectedly, that young girl was so generous, giving away two shops that could make so much money.
If she marries him...
Just think about Baiweizhai; it earned far more in a single day than those two shops.
Wouldn't Li Qiao'er then become rich?
"Yo ho!"
Wen Zizhou stuck his broom into the ground and, looking at the shameless man in front of him, shouted, "You mean you want to be my third brother's concubine?!"
His voice was so loud that passersby and diners craned their necks to look in his direction.
Li Qiao'er choked up and quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I mean a concubine! I mean a secondary wife!"
Concubine? What a joke!
If she becomes a concubine, won't she be trampled underfoot by that little bitch from the Jiang family? She might even have to bring her foot bath water and serve her when she's getting ready.
What's the difference between that and a maid?
If you're going to marry her, you should marry her as her wife!
Zhou Shen looked at her as if she were a fool, and the onlookers burst out laughing.
Is she really that desperate to get married? Other people are already married, why is she still chasing after someone like that? And she even wants to be a secondary wife?
That's hilarious!
Li Qiao'er's friends were hiding behind a pillar, laughing so hard their eyes were filled with tears.
She knew that Li Qiao'er liked to daydream, but she didn't expect her to be so daring!
She actually dares to try and steal the husband from Miss Jiang? How dare she!
Wen Zizhou tightened his grip on the broom; his sister had already given him instructions when he returned yesterday.
They said if Li Qiao'er came looking for trouble, they would beat her out like a dog.
If he doesn't handle the situation well and upsets his new sister-in-law, he might as well give up on the restaurant.
Since his sister had already put it that way, he wasn't going to hold back for the sake of his future restaurant!
He rushed over, brandishing a broom, hitting the target and cursing after each blow.
"You're shameless! My fourth brother wouldn't even look at a toad like you!"
"Our Wen family will never take concubines!"
"You think you can be a concubine? You're dreaming!"
Li Qiao'er didn't expect Wen Zizhou to suddenly go crazy, and she dodged the broom while calling for help.
"Fourth Brother Wen! Fourth Brother Wen! Please save me!"
"Stop him quickly!"
Li Qiao'er was in tears, and while she was catching her breath, she was almost hit on the back by Wen Zizhou.
With a calm expression, Wen Zian stepped forward and snatched the broom from Wen Zizhou. Li Qiao'er stopped, secretly pleased.
She said it herself! She acted so pitiful, how could Wen Zi'an not feel sorry for her!
Just as she was feeling smug, a sudden pain in her arm brought her back to reality.
Wen Zi'an stood before her, broom in hand, his face contorted with disgust. "Don't bother me again! You are utterly repulsive!"
He snapped the broom in half and slammed it down in front of Li Qiao'er.
Wen Zizhou looked on with heartache; this was a brand new broom that had just been bought using public funds.
It's just gone like that...
Li Qiao'er stared blankly at her arm, her eyes glazed over as she watched Wen Zi'an leave.
Wen Zi'an actually attacked her just now?
So it wasn't out of pity for her! It was because Wen Zizhou was cowardly that she came to take matters into her own hands!
She stood there, her face ashen, and this time she truly cried.
Wen Zizhou snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "I've given you plenty of face, yet you still insist on pestering me."
"Whether it was me, my fourth brother, or someone else who had their eye on the old house, you know perfectly well!"
Li Qiao'er's face was filled with panic, and the onlookers around her had already started pointing and whispering about her.
She quickly covered her face, pushed through the crowd, and ran home.
Once he was sure she wouldn't come back, Wen Zizhou turned and went back to the restaurant. The two security guards at the door exchanged glances, recalling Li Qiao'er's appearance.
