Chapter 80: It's Actually True - The Daily Gossip Life of a Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound

Lin Qing was studying hard in her room when she suddenly heard a ruckus outside.

She had been sitting at her desk for a while, so she decided to check out what was going on outside and took the chance to stretch her legs.

She stood by the window and couldn't believe her eyes at the scene outside.

Zhou Qin had actually managed to bring home a wife—it was actually true!

"Uncle Zhou, is this your son's wife?" Jiang Da Sao asked loudly, full of curiosity.

"Yes, this is my son Zhou Qin's wife. Her name's Wang Qiaomei, and she's already married to Zhou Qin," Uncle Zhou said cheerfully.

"They're officially married? Are you still throwing a wedding feast?"

"No way, we can't afford a feast," Uncle Zhou immediately refused, thinking about the additional expenses.

Lin Qing looked at the girl standing beside Zhou Qin. Tsk, another delicate, fragile-looking girl. Does Zhou Qin have a thing for this type of girl?

Even though Qin Xianglian has a hot body, her face is just as delicate and fragile as this girl's.

Zhou Qin stood next to her, grinning from ear to ear, clearly very happy. It seemed this girl was the one he really wanted to marry, not someone he was forced to.

If he had been forced, he would've been married off long ago after meeting hundreds of girls. How could it have ended up with this girl?

Oh no! Now that Zhou Qin's married this girl, Qin Xianglian's got some competition, huh?

Suddenly, she felt a little excited. What to do now?

Plus, looking at the quiet girl, she couldn't help but feel that this girl was something special. Even though she didn't know why, she felt like she and this girl wouldn't be friends.

After daydreaming for a bit, Lin Qing shook her head and decided it was more fun to go back to solving problems, so she turned back to her desk and started working on her math problems.

Since it was a workday and a school day, only Mother Su was home in the Su family. Hearing the commotion outside, she didn't rush out but hid behind the window, peeking through the crack.

Indeed, it was wise of her not to go out. Going out now would only be humiliating. She hadn't expected Zhou Qin to actually bring home a wife.

As the week was nearing its end, just when she thought she might be favored by fate, reality dealt her a heavy blow. Zhou Qin had actually been so lucky as to find a wife on the very last day.

She glanced at Wang Qiaomei. Good, she could sense a kindred spirit, which made her whole face scrunch up. What should she do now?

Doesn't this girl know about Zhou Qin's past rumors?

Doesn't she know that he used to chase after a widow?

Mother Su was at a loss, not knowing what to do. At a glance, Wang Qiaomei seemed to resemble her daughter-in-law in appearance. Suddenly, she had an epiphany—could it be?

Could Wang Qiaomei be a substitute for her daughter-in-law, whom Zhou Qin couldn't marry?

Thinking this, she felt more and more pleased. Hehehe!

Outside, Uncle Zhou was dealing with a group of women who had come to check out the news. Everyone was extremely curious about Zhou Qin suddenly getting married.

As a result, Wang Qiaomei received a lot of attention.

Many people looked at her with pity and sympathy. After all, Zhou Qin was still entangled with a widow in the compound. They hoped this girl would have the skills to keep Zhou Qin in check.

Mother Jiang was particularly gleeful at home. "Hehe, I wonder what the Su family will do now? Zhou Qin is married, and Qin Xianglian must be regretting it to death."

Jiang Da Sao also chimed in, "Yeah, that scheming vixen Qin Xianglian must be regretting it to death. Her backup admirer has actually gotten married. When they get back from work, there's going to be quite a spectacle! Hahaha!" Jiang Da Sao couldn't stand Qin Xianglian; she always felt that Qin Xianglian had ulterior motives towards her husband.

Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were delighted to see the Su family in trouble!

Lin Shu was in her room putting on a show of studying seriously. Why pretend, you ask?

Because on one hand, she felt she was heaven's favorite, so she was sure to get a cadre position. On the other hand, she didn't want to slack off after Jiang Yang had urged her to strive hard, so she had to put on a show of studying seriously in her room. Right now, she was also peeking out the window at the ruckus outside!

...

The people at the machinery factory were also in disbelief—Zhou Qin had actually gotten married!

"Is it true or not?"

"Of course, it's true! I saw it with my own eyes. I saw him bring a woman to sign up for a job at our factory."

"If they've signed up, it must be legit. After all, only relatives of employees can sign up. If they weren't married, that woman probably wouldn't have been eligible to sign up."

"Man, I never thought he'd pull it off!"

"If others were like him, going on a hundred blind dates in a week, they would have succeeded long ago!"

"Heh, I heard there’s been a spike in marriages at the factory this week—dozens of them!"

"Really?"

"Of course, it's true. Why would I lie to you? I heard it from the personnel department."

"Why would anyone make this up? With so many job openings at our factory, so many young folks are desperate to avoid being sent to the countryside. How could they give up when the opportunity is right in front of them?" No wonder the young folks at the factory are in such high demand lately!

"That's true. I heard the policies have gotten stricter lately!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Luckily, my child is still young, otherwise, I'd be like Sister Hong, scrambling to land a job!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm really glad my child is still young!" Many folks nodded in agreement.

At Cen Xi's research department, they had entered a new phase of research and were all busy. They didn't have time for gossip, all buried in their research. So, while the whole factory was buzzing about it, they were completely clueless.

After work, Cen Xi rode his bike home. On the way, he sensed something was up. Why was everyone pushing their bikes?

Why weren’t they riding? And why were they all huddled together?

Cen Xi blinked behind his glasses, not understanding, and didn’t waste time trying to figure it out. He hurried home.

He still needed to whip up dinner. Recently, he had been cooking every night because Lin Qing would forget the time while studying. So, he told her not to worry about dinner and just focus on her studies. He would take care of dinner these days.

"Alright!" Seeing how determined he looked, Lin Qing didn’t put up a fight. After all, couples should be considerate of each other. There was no need to argue!

"Brother Nan, you're back!" Lin Qing looked up in surprise at Cen Xi as he entered.

"Yeah." Seeing her radiant face, Cen Xi couldn't help but walk over and kiss her forehead!

"Oh!" Lin Qing covered the spot he kissed, not expecting him to suddenly kiss her forehead.
