My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 186: There might be enough room to race horses on top of the head number .

Chapter 186: There might be enough room to race horses on top of the head number 186.

Lin Shou knew that his wife cared greatly about Tangtang, so he leveraged that to his advantage.

Zhang Hongyan indeed gave up.

"Then forget it!"

While speaking, she sighed and said, "Xiaojing is also my daughter, what more can I say."

"It’s just that I feel sorry for Qingya, Qingya is already in his twenties and still not married, don’t you long to hold your grandson?"

When it came to her son’s marriage, Zhang Hongyan felt like there was a stone blocking her heart.

Her words conveyed dissatisfaction through and through.

"What is the Zheng Family thinking? Both children are grown up, yet they keep delaying the wedding.

If Qingya had a job in the county, I don’t believe they would still be acting so high and mighty."

Lin Qingya was engaged before he was eighteen.

He was betrothed to Zheng Siyu from the neighboring village.

They had agreed to hold the wedding after just six months, but who knew that the Zheng Family would keep making excuses, dragging it out until now.

If it weren’t for Qingya’s foolish devotion to the girl from the Zheng Family, she would have wanted to go to their door and call off the engagement herself.

Being engaged but not married, leaving someone hanging—what a harmful way to handle things.

Lin Shou saw through the Zheng Family’s intentions clearly.

He had long known what game they were playing.

It was nothing more than wanting to back out of the marriage, but without carrying the stigma of being the ones to break it off.

They were waiting for his family to become anxious.

Well, he was not anxious.

To infuriate them!

Thinking they could get away ’scot-free’ from abandoning his son? Wishful thinking!

The Lin Family might uphold kindness but were not fools.

Lin Shou shook his head with disbelief.

"Haven’t you seen it clearly? The Zheng Family has never intended to marry off their daughter, otherwise they wouldn’t have kept delaying."

"I advise you to not get your hopes up, this matter is likely to become even more troublesome."

Zhang Hongyan actually had the same feeling but found it somewhat improbable.

After all, if they broke off the engagement, it would then be difficult for the Zheng Family’s daughter to find another match.

"Impossible..."

She hadn’t yet uttered the word "maybe" when she saw a hint of mockery flash through her husband’s eyes.

She fell silent.

Her body, shaking with rage, revealed the unrest in her heart.

How dare the Zheng Family!

"My husband, are you just going to watch this happen?

If you know they want to back out of the marriage, why don’t you do anything?

No! I’m going to see them tomorrow.

Why should the Zheng Family be allowed to drag my son along..."

The woman was so angry her eyes turned red, a fierce light glinting within.

Lin Shou thought that if the Zheng Family members were in front of him, his wife might slap them twice.

"...Don’t get so worked up!" Lin Shou sighed, "I knew you would lose your patience, that’s why I’ve been keeping it from you."

"It’s not that I don’t care, I just can’t do anything about it."

"You should be able to see how much Qingya feels for that girl, this is not an easy engagement to break off."

"If handled incorrectly, Qingya could be seriously ruined."

Never underestimate the power of a first love.

Zhang Hongyan was stunned for a moment, teeth clenched, hating Zheng Siyu even more in her heart.

It truly is that you know a person’s face but not their heart.

She had thought she was a good girl; she never expected her to be conniving.

She had hooked her son’s heart, but didn’t want to marry into their family, did Zheng Siyu want to reach for the heavens?

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Her voice was full of barely suppressed fury.

Lin Shou: "One word: wait."

Zhang Hongyan became anxious, "Still wait? Wait for what, wait until the marrow flowers are all wilted?"

"You don’t see how old Qingya is, both your elder brothers have grandsons already, only you don’t, don’t you feel envious?"

Lin Shou: "..." How could he not be envious? He was so anxious he was almost developing mouth ulcers.

"Why wouldn’t I be anxious? But some things can’t be rushed."

Qingya is a man, what’s there to be afraid of? Even if he’s twenty-five, he’ll still be able to find a wife.

It’s different for the Zheng Family’s daughter, though. Believe it or not, she’s even more anxious than we are."

Lin Shou saw things very clearly.

If he wasn’t wrong, the Zheng Family would soon be coming over.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongyan’s heart settled a bit.

However, the anger on her face didn’t lessen in the slightest.

"What if Zheng Siyu agrees to marry into our family? That would completely disgust me."

Lin Shou shook his head, "That won’t happen, just watch."

"What do you know?" Zhang Hongyan asked, agitated.

What did Lin Shou know? He was simply reasoning based on common sense.

After all the trouble they’d gone through, the Zheng Family’s desire to call off the engagement but still keep a good reputation couldn’t be more obvious.

If they suddenly wanted to go through with the marriage, there had to be a catch, like maybe their son had become... ineligible.

"Let’s not talk about this any longer. You’ll find out sooner or later. Just go to sleep."

As Lin Shou spoke, he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Zhang Hongyan: "..." You can’t just leave me hanging— you’ve dug up every shoot on the mountain!

-

At the same time, in the neighboring village, the Zheng Family.

Under the dim light of the kerosene lamp.

Old Man Zheng looked at Zheng Siyu and asked, "...Has Qingya not looked for you these past few days?"

Having not tasted meat in so long, my mouth feels as if it’s losing its sense of taste.

The gaze of the three Zheng brothers and their two daughters-in-law fell on Zheng Siyu.

Zheng Siyu didn’t like Lin Qingya, and her expression soured immediately at the mention of that bumpkin fiancé by her father.

"No, he must be busy," she said indifferently.

Before Old Man Zheng could comment, Zheng Three scoffed.

"No matter how busy, he should find time to see his fiancée, right?"

"Who’s that bumpkin’s fiancée? Third Brother, you’re doing this on purpose," Zheng Siyu said with a stern face.

Knowing that this was her pet peeve, Third Brother had to bring it up— he really was troublesome.

Zheng Three snorted disdainfully, "As long as the engagement hasn’t been broken off, you are Lin Qingya’s fiancée. Did I say something wrong?"

Even though he had received plenty of benefits from Zheng Siyu’s hands, he didn’t hold much respect for his sister.

Aspirations as high as the heavens, yet a fate as thin as paper.

Wholeheartedly wanting to marry a city dweller.

She certainly has grand ambitions.

At these words, Zheng Siyu felt choked with fury and thought she would suffocate from anger.

"Dad, you hear what Third Brother is saying!" she complained to Old Man Zheng, dissatisfied.

Among the three sons of the Zheng Family— Zheng Da, Zheng Er, Zheng San.

Zheng San was the youngest, eloquent, and most favored by the old man.

Of course, Old Man Zheng wouldn’t upset his favored son on account of a daughter who would be married off sooner or later.

"Third, hold your tongue a bit," he stated in a neutral tone.

"Siyu, be more magnanimous. After all, he’s your Third Brother. What’s the harm in him teasing you a bit?"

Without waiting for Zheng Siyu to express her displeasure, Old Man Zheng continued, "You should go see Qingya tomorrow. As fiancés, you can’t go ten days or half a month without meeting."

If the daughter visits, the prospective son-in-law surely can’t let her return empty-handed.

Knowing they would soon taste something rich and greasy, the eyes of the Zheng Family members all lit up.

Zheng Siyu felt irritated but didn’t want to provoke her family.

She obediently nodded, "Understood."

"I’m tired, I’m going back to my room," she said.

With that, she stood up and left the courtyard.

Zheng Da watched her retreating back, then looked at Old Man Zheng, "Dad, are we going to let Siyu’s marriage drag on like this?"

The work points Zheng Siyu earned weren’t even enough to sustain herself, let alone depend on them to get by.

That would be bearable.

But she was actually snatching food from her nephews, lazy and greedy; it was more than Zheng Da could stand.

Old Man Zheng’s gaze darkened as he said ominously, "It definitely won’t drag on forever."
