Chapter 923: Chapter 623: Provocation? (2)

After chatting with the elders for a while, Chuxia proposed that the younger generation should go as a group to pick up Zhang Erniu’s family. It was already around nine o’clock, and it would take at most half an hour to drive over. After waiting for a little while, the Zhang family should arrive.

Of course, this was something Luo Gangshun and Fat Auntie were eager for, but they were too embarrassed to say it out loud. Now, with Chuxia’s suggestion, their mouths immediately grinned ear-to-ear.

Such attention would surely please the Zhang family, making this marriage proposal much more secure.

Due to their rural background, Luo Gangshun and Fat Auntie carried a deep psychological shadow about finding a wife, fearing that any oversight would displease the future in-laws.

This was common in their village; many initially well-discussed engagements would fall apart if the bride’s family was not satisfied.

Although given the current status of the Luo family, Luo Hongqi’s marriage should not be considered a major difficulty, but with Luo Hongqi’s personality, isn’t there still some uncertainty about compatibility?

The Luo family was not lacking, but Zhang Erni was also the beloved treasure of the Zhang family, and whether they would be pleased with the Luo family was still a question.

Especially since they heard the grandmother of the Zhang family was a decisive person, Luo Gangshun and Fat Auntie’s anxiety intensified.

“Uncle Gangshun and Fat Auntie are truly over the moon about Erniu.” As the car drove off, Chuxia joked with Luo Xiaoqiong with a smile, “I think once your brother gets married, you’ll really lose any standing in the family.”

“Are you gloating?” Luo Xiaoqiong glared at her, “Chuxia, you’re increasingly bullying me, tell me honestly, have you lost interest in being friends with me?”

“What kind of nonsense is this?” Chuxia looked speechless, “Or maybe, are you genuinely jealous of Erniu? Otherwise, you wouldn’t mind what I’m saying.”

“It’s not that serious, even if my parents truly treat Erniu better than me, it doesn’t matter, I also have my in-laws.

People say what goes around comes around, if my parents treat my sister-in-law better than me, my future in-laws will definitely treat me well too.

Calculating it this way, I have no jealousy at all…” Luo Xiaoqiong blinked at Chuxia, looking boastful, “Did you think I would fall for your trick? No way!”

“That’s good.” Seeing Zhou Mikang suddenly stop the car, Chuxia stuck out her head looking puzzled, “What’s he up to?”

Since they were picking people up, they took two cars, Lin Wenbin naturally stayed with his sister, and Luo Xiaoqiong couldn’t go and join Zhou Mikang, so the Great Regimental Commander Zhou ended up alone.

“Seems like he’s run into someone he knows.” Lin Wenbin parked behind Zhou Mikang, opened the door, and walked a few steps to see Yao Limei standing in front of Zhou Mikang’s car.

“What’s she up to?” Lin Wenbin asked Zhou Mikang, who was sitting steadily in the car, “And how does she know we’re passing here?”

“She hasn’t spoken yet, so I don’t know either.” Zhou Mikang opened the car door, looking calmly at Yao Limei, “What do you want?”

Chuxia’s first reaction was, is this a scam?!

But during this era, such a profession shouldn’t exist yet, and Yao Limei wouldn’t resort to extorting money.

Thinking carefully, it seemed obvious she was here for her daughter’s or husband’s issue, but Chuxia couldn’t understand why she chose to confront Zhou Mikang.

“You go see my daughter, you must go immediately.” Yao Limei stared unblinkingly at Zhou Mikang, “Otherwise, just run me over under the car.”

“Threatening me?” Zhou Mikang looked at her expressionlessly, “Do you think that you can threaten me? Or are you not afraid of accidentally losing your life?”

“If you dare, go ahead.”

“Fine, stay where you are if you dare.” Zhou Mikang turned back to get in the car and started the engine.

“You…” Lin Wenbin looked worriedly at Zhou Mikang, this was a matter of life and death, although he knew the woman was being unreasonable, if it turned into a death, it would become a completely different situation.

Moreover, no matter how irrational this woman may be, she doesn’t deserve to be injured or killed.

He wanted to intervene but felt like challenging Zhou Mikang’s authority, so he held back his words.

“I’ve got a handle on it.” Zhou Mikang reassured him with a nod, “You go ahead in your car, I’ll catch up shortly.”

Seeing his determined demeanor, Lin Wenbin didn’t hesitate further, quickly got into his own car, started it, and drove past Zhou Mikang’s car.

Chuxia worriedly looked back at them, she certainly knew Zhou Mikang had good judgment, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but worry.

As Lin Wenbin’s car drove a considerable distance, Zhou Mikang released the handbrake, slowly inching the car forward, Yao Limei’s face visibly tense and somewhat distorted, but she stood her ground.

She only had Su Jiaohong, her daughter, who was her treasure, if anything happened to her daughter, her world would collapse.

Hence, she was risking it all, even at the threat of losing her life, to fulfill her daughter’s wish.

It seemed fate was on her side, since her daughter made the request, she specifically sought out information about Zhou Mikang’s whereabouts, learning that he was in the Capital City while only having a day left of the deadline given by her daughter, she was nearly distressed to death.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mikang suddenly appeared in front of her, at the time, she even thought she was seeing things. (To be continued.
