Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 660 dating

Zhou Zhenjiang observed Huang Ying’s expression, "You didn’t shake your head, you didn’t refuse, so you agree?"

Huang Ying gently nodded, but immediately looked up, "I know about your family’s situation, and I also know that the aunties in the village don’t like us, so if we are to be together, your family has to agree first, right?"

Zhou Zhenjiang frowned, thinking about his formidable mother, feeling a bit intimidated.

Huang Ying continued, "I do like you, but if your family doesn’t agree, I won’t stick to you stubbornly."

Zhou Zhenjiang thought for a while, then smiled, "Huang Ying, I understand your concerns. I’ll go back and tell my family. But I’m asking you now, are you willing to live with me?"

Huang Ying felt disgusted inside, but did not show it, gently nodding, "I learned yesterday that Chen Hui and Ding Xiaojuan got married, and I thought I’m already twenty, I can’t delay any longer. Since I can’t leave here, I might as well settle down here."

She seemed to agree, but what she said was rather vague.

Zhou Zhenjiang didn’t notice, his face lit up with a smile. He emotionally took Huang Ying’s hand, "I’ll go back and tell my family today. I’ve taken a liking to you, and I’ll ask my mom to propose for me."

Huang Ying felt satisfied, this way, she could save face.

"Will your family agree?"

"They will. Don’t worry, my mom has been anxious for a long time. If I take the initiative to want to settle down, she’ll definitely be willing."

Huang Ying smiled as well. "Okay, I’ll wait for your news."

"Good, trust me. We can definitely be together.

Huang Ying, tell me about your family’s situation, so I can tell my mom when I go back."

Seeing Zhou Zhenjiang’s eager expression, Huang Ying felt a sense of pride.

"My dad works in a steel factory as a front-liner, and so does my brother.

There’s also my mom, two younger brothers, and a sister. They’re all in school, but when I left, school had already stopped, and the family wrote saying the three of them and mom were at home making paper boxes."

"Huang Ying, if my family agrees, will yours agree too?"

"I don’t know either. If your family agrees, I’ll call mine and ask."

How could they disagree? The family just hopes I get married soon so they can get a bride price. The family has no place to live, and my brother still doesn’t have a partner.

But the family’s conditions aren’t good, wanting to buy a house for big brother is simply impossible.

So mom had her own plans, wanting me to marry a widower in his thirties, but how could that be? So I secretly signed up to go to the countryside.

But after coming here, I really regretted it. It’s too hard.

Even if I marry here, the bride price is a must, but not a penny will go to my family. I want to keep this money for myself.

But I must lay it out upfront.

"My family’s conditions aren’t great, so we can’t skimp on the bride price, after all, they raised me, I can’t not repay their upbringing."

Zhou Zhenjiang nodded, he knew that village girls all get a bride price when they marry, and generally the family will bring some dowry, but most still require a bride price without giving a dowry.

Huang Ying had decided that even if she did receive a bride price, she wouldn’t give it to her family, she’d keep it for herself to spend slowly.

"Huang Ying, I understand, I’ll let them know when I go back, you know about my family’s situation, right?"

Huang Ying nodded, how could she not know about the party secretary’s family situation?

Zhou Zhenjiang was the youngest, with two sisters and four brothers above him, all already settled down, the eldest sister’s kids in the Zhou family were even a year older than Zhou Zhenjiang. That’s why nobody in the village dared to mess with the Zhou family.

"My brothers and sisters treat me very well, in the future when we’re together, they’ll treat you well too."

Huang Ying just lowered her head, lightly nodding, but felt disdainful inside, what naivety, if they treat you well, they’ll treat your wife well? What kind of logic is that?

Zhou Zhenjiang was very excited, reaching out to hold Huang Ying’s hand, although he usually teased young girls verbally, he was very proper, never before had he held a girl’s hand without clarity.

So this is what a girl’s hand feels like? Zhou Zhenjiang’s face turned a bit red.

"Huang Ying, rest assured, I’ll definitely treat you well in the future, really, trust me."

"Mm, I trust you, and I trust my own judgment."

There are some things men know instinctively; after holding Huang Ying’s hand, Zhou Zhenjiang wanted to take it further.

He stood up, but didn’t let go, sitting down next to Huang Ying.

"After we get married, we’ll have to live with my parents, they’re so nice, they give me all the good things, and we can show filial piety together. When we have kids later, mom and dad will help us take care of them."

Huang Ying loathed the thought, getting married and not being in charge, still having to live with in-laws?

But listening to Zhou Zhenjiang, realizing he’s a filial son, knowing the relationship is still fragile, she couldn’t let him dislike her.

But deep down, she was unwilling. "Zhou Zhenjiang, don’t your parents want to live with your elder brother? Where I’m from, elders live with the firstborn."

"It’s the same here, but mom and dad aren’t assured about me, so when the family split, they said they’d live with me when they got old."

Huang Ying was not happy about this; others live in charge of their own lives and she would still be under mother-in-law’s control?

So she just remained silent, Zhou Zhenjiang still excited, didn’t notice her unease.

At this moment, voices were heard from the courtyard, Zhou Zhenjiang still didn’t let go of Huang Ying’s hand.

Four people came in and, seeing their situation, whistled teasingly.

"What good thing did you bring?"

"Caught two big fish, we’ll have fish stew for lunch."

"Alright. Qiangzi’s fish stew skills are the best, we’ll leave it to him today."

Huang Ying saw the two big fish and was very delighted, it had been a long time since she’d had meat, these fish came at the perfect time.

The boys were very efficient, and in no time, the fish were in the pot, with a whole bowl of potatoes, and cornbread stuck to the side of the pot.

Huang Ying smelled the aroma, feeling her mouth watering, why did it smell so good?

If life was like this, there was something to look forward to.

"Zhou Zhenjiang, should we go fishing too later?"

"You better not go to the riverbank now, there are lots of men there who don’t wear clothes, it’s inconvenient for a woman to go. If you want to eat fish, we can go in the afternoon."

Huang Ying nodded excitedly, without any reservation.

Seeing Huang Ying like this, suddenly, Zhou Zhenjiang’s interest in her waned a lot.
