The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 23: A Joyous Union

Wang Zhaodi was quite surprised. She was very skilled at her work, and usually could earn full marks for women’s labor. Just these few months, when exchanged for grain, it was quite a lot.

"Oh, this is really good. Zhaodi, aren’t you going to thank your mom?" Li Xiaohua’s mom spoke on behalf of the Li Family, as Wang Zhaodi’s aunt had left, someone had to speak up.

Wang Zhaodi’s emotions were up and down, comparable to a roller coaster, and very complicated.

At this moment, she could only thank, "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."

Although she thought to herself, it was originally hers, yet they took her things to play the good Samaritan.

But nobody would think like that, do you work all day without eating? How could it all belong to you?

Liu Yulan and Wang Miaomiao exchanged a knowing glance, feeling today’s drama could come to a close.

"Alright, Baoxing, go find the village chief early tomorrow and calculate Zhaodi’s labor points, come back and organize the grains." Liu Yulan instructed Wang Baoxing.

Wang Baoxing quickly nodded, his mood today was also like a roller coaster, going from being despised to being praised...

It was all thanks to his daughter and wife’s capability that turned things around. Otherwise, how could he walk in the village later? He would be gossiped about and called a big talker all his life.

As for the eldest daughter, he had already been very considerate to this daughter.

Wang Miaomiao remembered there wasn’t this silver bracelet incident in the original story, so it’s likely it was pocketed by Liu Yulan, especially since Wang Zhaodi hit her daughter and lost face. Moreover, Wang Zhaodi ran to the man’s house herself, showing how eager to marry she was, the marriage wasn’t too glorious, Wang Baoxing surely wasn’t satisfied and wouldn’t treat her very well.

"Big sister, keep the list well, and there’s grain yet to be written down, you fill it in yourself tomorrow." Wang Miaomiao tore off the paper and handed it to her.

Wang Zhaodi’s eyes flickered, somewhat unable to understand this sister. When did she become so shrewd?

A silver bracelet and the grain issue, it was all mentioned by her, now everyone knows she has a silver bracelet, and surely someone would set their sights on it.

"Miaomiao, big sister thanks you." Wang Zhaodi thanked her orally, but there was no gratitude in her eyes.

Wang Miaomiao grinned broadly, not caring about her hostility at all, "You’re welcome. Oh, and I also wrote down the new clothes your second aunt made for you, not sure if she could bring them over tomorrow. If she can, then you can wear the new clothes to the town to get the certificate, your brother-in-law will definitely be happy to see it."

"How do you know my second aunt made new clothes for me?" Wang Zhaodi asked, puzzled.

Wang Miaomiao laughed with squinted eyes, "Just a coincidence." She naturally knew from the book, Zhang Hongfang had a big quarrel with Li Yinfeng over these clothes.

Upon hearing the new clothes were also prepared, now Wang Zhaodi’s dowry was richer than most households, no one pitied her anymore.

Some even began to regret bringing things to add to her dowry, a few eyes held traces of jealousy.

The next morning, Li Yinfeng went to Tang Mei to pick up the finished clothes, a pale pink blouse and black pants.

Indeed, Zhang Hongfang thought it was made for her, she was overjoyed and wanted to try it on, but was told it was for Wang Zhaodi, how could she remain happy, she immediately started to make a fuss.

Li Yinfeng coaxed and promised repeatedly she would definitely make up with a set of new clothes, plus a skirt to pacify her.

Li Yinfeng sighed as she took the clothes to the Wang Family, feeling headaches over her spoiled daughter, already seventeen but still like an immature child, not the mature and steady Zhaodi. How will she manage when she marries into her husband’s family?

"Yinfeng..."

Li Yinfeng was walking with a heavy heart when she suddenly heard Zhang Hexiang calling her from afar, she stopped.

"Yinfeng, what are you doing?" Zhang Hexiang quickly walked over, saw the new clothes in her hands, "For Zhaodi?"

"Yes, yesterday I asked Jian Qiang’s wife Tang Mei to rush them overnight. Today Zhaodi is getting the certificate, so she has to dress decently."

"Heh, you really care about her sincerely." Zhang Hexiang pouted, holding doubts in her heart, "Then do you know Jin Feng left a silver bracelet for Zhaodi? Did your mother pass anything on to you?"

"Ah?" Li Yinfeng was dumbfounded by her question and took half a day to react, gloomily said, "The bracelet wasn’t given by mom, it was directly given to the eldest sister by grandmother on her sixteenth birthday. I also have one, also given by grandmother on my sixteenth birthday, but during the famine year, I pawned it for food. Sigh..." Remembering the bracelet brings pain, that year was too miserable, Xiao Fang also got sick and needed better food for recovery, she pawned it for fine grains. Unexpectedly, Wang Baoxing kept the bracelet for Zhaodi. Hmph, consider him as having a conscience.

"Really, why didn’t grandmother leave anything for Da Long? He’s the only male in the family, after all." Zhang Hexiang’s sourness increased.

"I don’t know about that, I’m leaving now, Zhaodi is still waiting for me..." Saying this, Li Yinfeng ignored her grievances and left...

Zhang Hexiang stomped her feet in anger.

Li Yinfeng arrived at the Wang Family, seeing Wang Baoxing weighing the grains, while Wang Zhaodi also had sorted the items.

Li Yinfeng learned those were sent by relatives from the village, and said to Wang Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, you must remember these people’s kindness."

Wang Zhaodi nodded, "I know."

Li Yinfeng pulled her sleeve, they walked aside, she whispered earnestly, "Your dad could give you the bracelet, and also grain, it means he still has a conscience. When you come to the Zhu Family, never speak ill of your maternal family, or having a bad relationship with the Wang Family, if not in contact, don’t ever leak a word. Zhaodi, marrying is like reincarnation, good or bad is another gamble. A daughter backed by her family, even if spilled water, the husband’s family wouldn’t dare bully harshly. A daughter without her family’s support, where’s the confidence? Well, her life depends solely on her man, if the man is slightly bad, you’ll suffer..."

Wang Zhaodi’s eyes flickered, not knowing how much of Li Yinfeng’s heartfelt advice she heeded.

Zhu Zicheng took leave from the factory the day before, and early today dressed in his newest clothes, rode a borrowed bicycle, and eagerly arrived at Shanghuang village.

Twice visiting for marriage prospects, he had both times gone to the Zhang Family, hadn’t met the Wang Family, but most villagers knew about Wang Zhaodi and him, someone helpfully pointed the way, smoothly bringing him in front of Wang Zhaodi.

Seeing the prettily dressed girl before him, Zhu Zicheng was grinning from ear to ear.

The two joyfully went to the town, obtained the marriage certificate, and handled the household registration transfer, spending the whole morning.

At noon, they went to a state-owned restaurant, ordered braised pork, braised fish, stir-fried vegetables, and egg soup. Though they didn’t host a banquet at home, just the couple celebrated themselves on the joyful day of marriage.

Wang Zhaodi never imagined, there would be a day she could freely indulge in meat and fish.

Looking at the man constantly serving her food across the table, she felt the future was full of hope.
