Chapter 55: Breaking Off An Engagement
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Which father would feel good seeing their unwed virgin daughter being carried by a man?
Wei Zhen Hui knew what he was worried about and quickly explained the whole story, "Uncle Su, just call me Zhen Hui. I apologize for not taking care of Su Mian. When she had gone up the mountain to pick some medicine, she had been bitten by a wolf on the ankle, but it's already better."
Su Jiang Hai did not believe it. If she was almost better, then why was he carrying her. When he saw that there nothing was wrong with Su Mian, his expression got a bit better, "Since you have already sent her here, you can leave," Su Jiang Hai was already restraining himself, otherwise, his words would have been a lot more unpleasant to hear.
Wei Zhen Hui could not stay for too long. After saying a few words to Su Mian, he left with the second team leader.
The second team leader looked back as he walked. They had been driven out, making the mission the vice-captain entrusted him a lot more arduous!
Once they left, Su Jiang Hai's expression became cloudy, "How could he not know how to arouse suspicion? He might be an interstellar soldier, but he is also a man!"
Su Jiang Hai was well-known for pampering his daughter. He had never said harsh words to her from since small till now. This time, Su Jiang Hai was truly angry.
Today, Wei Zhen Hui had carried Su Mian home. Tomorrow, the entire village would know about it. He was worried about Su Mian. She had just cleared her reputation of seducing a teacher, now something else is going to happen.
Seeing Su Jiang Hai get angry, He Qin quickly tried to smooth things over, "Dad, it's good that your child has come back. I think Wei family's eldest is not someone who lacks tact."
Su Jiang Hai swung his sleeves. It's already too late to say anything. His daughter's reputation could no longer be good anymore.
Wei Zhen Hui had made it back home. Although Zhang Jie did not like this son of hers, he was still someone she gave birth to. When she heard that her son had returned, she quickly prepared a meal.
Wei You Shan was a language teacher in the county. He was an amiable person. He immediately greeted Wei Zhen Hui and the second team leader when he saw them.
Wei Zhen Ming had already eaten breakfast and gone out to play somewhere.
Wei Min squeezed on the sofa armrest beside Wei Zhen Hui, "Brother, the letter I gave you..."
"I have received it. If there is time, let us talk about it," Wei Zhen Hui was afraid that Zhang Jie, who was cooking in the kitchen, would hear them. He quickly interrupted her and gave Wei Min a pacifying expression.
Wei Min mischievously smiled.
"What are you siblings talking about. Why not speak louder and let your father hear about it," Wei You Shan brought back melon seeds and candy. He placed them beside second team leader's hand, "Don't be modest, just treat this place as your home."
The second team leader nodded his head.
In the middle of their conversation, Wei Zhen Hui went out for a while and returned only after an hour.
Zhang Jie, at that time, had made some dumplings with cabbage and pork. Wei Zhen Hui loved them ever since he was small.
After eating, the second team leader drove back to the encampment alone. Wei Zhen Hui informed him to come back to get him after a week.
The second leader nodded his head in agreement. He smiled and got up in the jeep.
After he left, Wei Zhen Hui laid down his cards on the table, "Mom, I had just broke off little Min's engagement."
Zhang Jie immediately felt her scalp go numb. She jumped up on the spot, "What? You unfilial son, did you just say that you broke off little Min's engagement?"
Wei You Shan was clearly stunned, "When was Wei Min engaged? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Dad, you still didn't know right? In order to let second brother get married, mom had engaged me to the Gao family's eldest son," Wei Min currently had Wei Zhen Hui's support. She had now become strong-willed and fluently explained the matter.
"You, Zhang Jie, Wei Min is my daughter. Why didn't you discuss this matter with me? She's only 18 and hasn't even taken college entrance exams yet!" Wei You Shan was so angry that he trembled uncontrollable. He was older than Zhang Jie by 7 years. He let her handle most matters, but never imagined that this woman would arrange their daughter's engagement behind him.
