The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 74 (Part 2)

"Found someone better? Do you think I don't want to find one? But whenever I think of you and our two children in the countryside, I can't get over the hurdle in my heart. That's why I came back and want to reconcile with you. Guogang, we have missed each other for ten years. How many more decades are there in life? Let's not keep missing each other, okay?" Ye Qian said, looking at him lovingly.

Han Guogang shook his head. He looked at her and said calmly, "I don't believe what you said."

Ye Qian opened her mouth to say something, but Han Guogang continued, "Back then, in order to return to the city, you went all the way even though you knew who Wang Zhiqing was. Everyone knows how much you want to leave here, and I know it too. Will you start over after you leave? Tell this to anyone in our village and see if we villagers believe you."

"Guogang, they don't believe me, don't you believe me either?" Ye Qian pursed her lips and looked at him.

"I'm not a fool." Han Guogang shook his head and ignored her, turned around and went back.

Ye Qian was left staring at his back, and there was no frustration in her eyes, but instead a determination to win.

In ten years, this man has lost his immaturity and become more mature and stable. Why didn't she find him so manly and charming before? She always thought he was cowardly, but now, he is full of advantages that attract her.

Even though she was rejected, it did not discourage Ye Qian. Instead, it made her more eager to conquer. She wanted to conquer this man again.

If I was able to charm him back then, why can’t I charm him now?

With a smile on her lips, Ye Qian turned around and went back to old He's house where she was staying.

The He family was originally unwilling to lend the money, but she paid a lot of rent, only one dollar for a day, so why not make money?

After Ye Qian came back, she went back to her room.

But what happened tonight was not unknown. Shuanzi had made an appointment with someone to set traps to catch pheasants and rabbits.

Isn't it just a coincidence that he hit it head on?

He hid in the dark and watched the whole scene. He was so excited that he didn't even try to catch pheasants or rabbits. He went straight back and told his wife about it.

Shuanzi's wife widened her eyes and said, "How could she say such a thing?"

"I heard it clearly." Shuanzi nodded.

"It's true that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If a person is shameless, he will be invincible. Does she think she is a treasure? She acted pretentiously back then. After all, she was still young. But now she is almost forty years old. Where does she get the confidence from?" said Shuanzi's wife.

"Those who work in state-owned enterprises will have pensions and other things in the future, so they don't have to worry about anything. The government will take care of their daily lives and medical care. It sounds pretty cool." Shuanzi said.

"Bah, is she worthy of that?" Shuanzi's wife spat.

Shuanzi said: "Actually, I think it would be good if they reconciled. After all, she knows she was wrong."

"Don't disgust me!" Shuanzi's wife immediately scolded: "With her condition, it's right that Han Guogang didn't want her. I don't know how many men she has messed with outside. If Han Guogang still wants her, I will look down on him!"

Shuanzi said: "That's not certain..."

"What's certain? She was already pregnant by Wang Zhiqing, and she was pregnant twice. She's like a dog that can't change its bad habits. When she goes out and runs into those college classmates, how can she not be horny? What kind of good thing do you think she is?" said Shuanzi's wife.

Then, through Shuanzi's wife, the next day, the news that Ye Qian had cried and begged Han Guogang to forgive and accept her last night, but Han Guogang refused, spread everywhere.

When Second Aunt Han heard this, she was greatly relieved, and then went home to warn her son that unless she died, he must never let this man named Ye into the house!

Han Guogang was helpless: "Mom, this is impossible. Don't talk about this on New Year's Day."

"That's fine!" Aunt Han was satisfied. She knew her son's character well. If he said it was impossible, then it was really impossible.

But even though she was relieved, she still couldn't sit still.

Why did she come to Han Dasao's place? It was because Han Dasao was acting as a matchmaker for Chen Sange.

Second Aunt Han also asked why Han Dasao, her niece-in-law, didn't marry her cousin to Guo Gang?

"I wanted to say that too, but I asked Uncle Guogang, and he smiled and said he had no such idea. So how could I keep pestering him? Things like this require mutual consent. As soon as I told my second brother's wife about it, they immediately said they wanted to take a look. Isn't this a perfect match? It's all a matter of fate!" said Mrs. Han.

But she was very satisfied in her heart, because the matchmaker she acted as helped her cousin Wu Afang start a new life. Her in-laws were not very demanding. The last time she visited her, she was living a good life. She also had a lot of face in her parents' home. Now, everyone would say that she takes good care of her family.

"Are there any other good candidates? Can you introduce one to Guogang?" said Aunt Han.

Mrs. Han knew that she was anxious, so she said, "Second Aunt, you can't be anxious. Although Ye Zhiqing is a bad apple now, I think Uncle Guogang's attitude is fine. He won't consider Ye Zhiqing again. If you want to find him another one, you have to find a good one. Although I introduced Ah Fang to someone, I won't tell anyone about this kind of thing. It has to be a good one, otherwise it will damage your reputation and hurt others!"

Aunt Han said, "That's right. I believe you. Can you contact them again? We are not in a hurry. We can just wait and see. Now Huzi and Huniu are so old. It's okay for Guogang to marry again."

"Okay, I'll take a closer look. If I find a good and suitable one, I'll talk to you, Auntie," said Mrs. Han.

Only then did Second Aunt Han go back satisfied, and First Sister-in-law Han came over to her second brother's wife.

Chen Rou is busy. She is rolling out dough to make dumplings. In this weather, there is nothing wrong with making a few more and leaving them to dry.

There are several kinds of fillings, including pork and cabbage filling, leek and pork filling, and pickled vegetable and pork filling.

Not only can you make dumplings, you can also fry them. They are great for eating at home or entertaining guests.

When Han Dasao came over, she saw that the whole family was making dumplings. She smiled and said, "They were making them yesterday and they are still making them today."

The children all shouted for help.

Chen Rou smiled and said, "We ate all the ones we packed yesterday, and now I can hardly afford to feed all of them."

"That's right. I prepared so much meat and eggs last year, but it wasn't enough for the New Year. This year I chopped a lot back so that they can eat their fill." Mrs. Han said with a smile.

"Yulan is pregnant, so it's time to give her some supplements." Chen Rou smiled.

Ludan’s wife Ma Yulan is pregnant. She went to the hospital for a check-up before returning to the city. It’s been more than a month and she will give birth during next summer vacation.

Both of them were very happy, especially Han Dasao, the mother-in-law, who said that she would not go to farm next year. Half of the family land was given to Dagui, and the remaining half was for Han Da Ge to farm himself, so she would not go there.

She stayed at home to help take care of the children, and asked Tiedan's little yellow rice and the baby in Ludan's wife's belly to be sent home. She would take care of them and told them to go about their business.

Next year, Mrs. Han plans to raise more chickens to earn some extra income for the family, and that will be enough.

Mrs. Han went to wash her hands and then sat down to help make dumplings. She said, "Second Aunt Gang came to my place and wanted me to introduce a good one to Uncle Guogang."

Chen Rou laughed and said, "It's not like I can introduce this person so casually. Sister-in-law, you have to be careful."

"That's right, that's what I said. If the introduction is not good, won't it ruin the reputation? But I only have Afang here, I'm not sure about the others." said Mrs. Han.

"We've come this far over the years, it's not too late to slow down," Chen Rou said.

As for the news that spread throughout the village today, about Ye Zhiqing stopping Han Guogang to ask for a reconciliation last night but being rejected, she had also heard about it.

So I don’t think there will be any problem. After all, South Korea has just rejected it and its attitude is very clear.

Ye Qian has no chance.

It’s an important matter in life. If you marry the wrong person, it will cause great pain. So take it slow. This is how I have gotten through the past ten years.

"I just can't stand it. I heard it from Shuanzi's wife. You don't know how shameless she is!" said Mrs. Han.

Chen Rou glanced at the children who were listening to gossip and said, "I'll just work with your empress, you guys can go have fun."

The children knew that gossip was no good, so they wrapped the dumplings in their hands and went out.

Han Zhou took the fourth child to Uncle Guogang's house to watch TV. Han Hang went back to the house to read, and Han Cheng went to find her sister Baozhu.

As for Han Guobin, he went to Gao Zheng's house and would visit him once every year when he came back.

Only Mrs. Han and Chen Rou were left in the room, and Mrs. Han criticized Ye Zhiqing.

Chen Rou said: "When she realizes that Uncle Guogang has let it go, she will probably go back."
