Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 140 The night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber

There was no matchmaker, no betrothal gift, and no ceremony.

I guess no one would believe it if I told others that Boss Xie Zhaofang, a famous rich man in the county, a multi-millionaire, and a tough guy who is famous for loving and protecting his daughter, actually sent his most precious daughter, Xie Xiaoyu, a famous beauty in the county, away without asking for anything.

The big Mercedes stopped at the door, took out a few handy gifts, and stayed for lunch. After lunch, Xie's elder brother-in-law and younger brother-in-law worked together to move the boxes that Xie Xiaoyu had packed earlier into the trunk. The silly girl got in the car and ran after them without shedding a single tear. Instead, she looked excited and happy from beginning to end - her mother had started to wipe away tears, but then she got so angry that she stopped crying.

On the contrary, her father, Xie Zhaofang, was smiling from beginning to end.

After the car drove away, he turned around and saw that his wife looked unhappy and his two sons looked confused. He was unhappy, "Don't be so sad... You know nothing!"

He casually pointed at his two sons and included them in the list. He didn't care that his daughter-in-law was right beside him and started scolding them, "You two little bastards, you better pray for the good fortune! When you meet me next time, be f*cking polite to me. Call me brother-in-law, and don't look stern with me. If anyone dares to look stern, I'll break his legs!"

The two sons shuddered and shrank back in fear.

When Xie Zhaofang saw the two of them acting like this, he felt frustrated and could not help but snorted. But when he turned around and looked at the direction the car left, he immediately felt happy. He stood there, pointing at the smoke and dust raised by the car, and said to Xie Xiaoyu's mother, "Don't think your daughter is being wronged. She is not wronged! She will be rich and powerful in the future!"

After a pause, seeing that his wife was still unhappy, he added: "More importantly... just wait and see, even if I die in the future, your two cowardly sons will not be bullied in the county! At least with him around, these two bastards won't be killed quietly!"

"Hey, you guys are really... a bunch of fucking idiots..."

…………

"What's this?"

Cao Yukun had no plan to take Xie Xiaoyu back to his hometown in the mountains right away. He was not afraid of Xie Zhaofang or Song Hongxing, but he was afraid that Comrade Cao would not be able to accept that his son was a bastard who bullied men and women. So he drove the car directly to the east gate of the garden and stopped. He made two trips and moved all of Xie Xiaoyu's boxes into the house.

The silly girl was so happy that as soon as she entered the house, she opened one of the suitcases, took out a stack of red paper, a bottle of glue, and even took out a small brush from a plastic bag.

Cao Yukun was a little confused.

When the red paper was opened, there were actually many big red cut-out wedding characters inside.

She picked it up, waved it happily, and said, "My mother said that you definitely can't cut it, and I can't either, so she bought some red paper and cut it for me! She said that even in the past when a carriage came to pick people up, there would be some red wedding characters on the carriage. How could you get married without any red at all?"

Cao Yukun was speechless.

So, I moved a stool and accompanied her to paste wedding characters everywhere on the east side of the yard.

After pasting the wedding characters, Cao Yukun called Huang Jiapeng again and asked him to prepare barbecue skewers in the evening. He also asked him to go out and order the best banquet and have it delivered to the main courtyard in the evening.

As a result, in the evening, Huang Jiaying saw that even the main courtyard was covered with wedding characters.

I don’t know whether she was angry or not, but she didn’t say a word to Cao Yukun.

Xie Xiaoyu sweetly called her "Sister Jiaying", and she forced a smile in response.

Originally it could be said to be a rumor, but now, there is no news at all. The big red wedding sign has been posted and a table of delicious food has been prepared. This bastard actually married Xie Zhaofang's daughter so simply - as soon as he called, she actually ran over obediently to attend the wedding banquet!
However, this bastard is just so good at comforting people——

While eating, drinking, laughing and joking, he said casually, "Jiaying, I will go to the county to handle the formalities and officially sell the Shimen Beverage Factory to Hongkong's company. When the formalities are completed, I will also serve as the general manager here. As for the deputy general manager, I plan to promote the production director He Qingcai and Lao Tao in Shanghai to be deputy general managers!"

"But as for the two of them, I can only trust them to take care of a small stall for the time being. Generally speaking, I still need someone to take charge of the business for me. Although he is also the deputy general manager, he has to rank ahead of them. When I am not at home, he has to handle everything for me... Do you think you can do it?"

Huang Jiaying looked up and looked at him.

She knew that she must have a complicated expression at the moment, but she still nodded, "Yes."

"That's you. Mr. Huang!"

…………

At night, I don’t know whether it can be considered the wedding night.

After Cao Yukun had satisfied himself twice, he turned over and lay down to rest for a while, but then he couldn't help but turn sideways and linger on Xie Xiaoyu's white and beautiful body.

After a while, Xie Xiaoyu was aroused by his touch again, and she couldn't help but get into his arms. But at this moment, she suddenly asked another question, "A Kun, what is your relationship with Sister Jiaying?"

Ok……

Xie Xiaoyu is indeed naive, but she is not stupid.

Moreover, her father is Xie Zhaofang after all. Even if she herself is not well-informed, Xie Zhaofang's information channels will definitely not be problematic, so... maybe she didn't just think of asking this question today.

But before this, her only concern was Song Yuqian.

I guess her father has mentioned to her that the girl from the Song family is her competitor.

Now, she has been married. Perhaps in her opinion, she has already defeated Song Yuqian. Now is the time for her to care about other people.

However, Cao Yukun would not follow her line of thought.

"Call me husband! Or... call me old official."

According to local customs, no one seems to call their husband "husband". I don't know if the later generations will change their way of speaking under the influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas. Anyway, until now, local couples, especially old couples, generally call each other "Laoguan" and "Jiazhupo". Xie Xiaoyu agreed with a smile, and lay down, with two lumps of soft meat firmly pressed on his chest. They looked into each other's eyes and called out sweetly, "Laoguan!"

Cao Yukun smiled and touched her face, then brought the topic back to the point, "This is what happened between your sister Jiaying and me... you must have heard your father mention it, right?"

She nodded, and said frighteningly bluntly, "My dad told me that many people in the county are saying that she is your lover."

Cao Yukun laughed, but he felt that it was normal for her to say such things, so he asked, "Did your father tell you how to deal with it?"

"what?"

She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, "No. But my mother told me that after I marry you, I will keep a close eye on you and gradually break up with those women."

This girl is really frank.

Cao Yukun couldn't help but hug her lovingly, kissed her, and then smiled and said, "What your mother said is not unreasonable, but every family has its own situation, and our situation is a bit special! You see, when I first went to Shanghai to start my business, Jiaying followed me. Now, I have to run to Hongkong and Shanghai all the time. It's inevitable to do business. At home, I still can't leave her!"

She stared at Cao Yukun, with no intention of responding.

So Cao Yukun continued, "She is a very obedient person, very loyal to me, and very capable. Before, when I told her that I wanted to marry you, she was unhappy, but I must marry you, so she agreed. Even if I didn't let her snatch it away, she wouldn't snatch it away from you. So you see, if I marry you and then don't want her anymore, isn't that a bad idea?"

She pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and finally uttered a sentence in a wronged tone, "But... you have married me! I want to give birth to a child for you... Will she also give birth to a child for you?"

This position cannot be changed, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Cao Yukun hugged her, "You are you, and she is she! It is only natural for you to give birth to a son for me. I have already agreed with your father that I will buy the sock factory in the county soon. Next, I will work hard to make the sock factory a success and try to sell socks all over the world. This sock factory will belong to our son in the future, okay?"

"What about her?"

"Her? She also wants to give birth to a child for me! She has been with me for a long time, so I can't give up on her now. The rumors in the county are like that. If I don't want her, it will show how heartless I am, right? And if I don't want her, how can she get married? Who dares to marry my woman?"

She was very unhappy and pouted.

"Be obedient! You see, Jiaying is the most obedient! The result is that even if I marry you, I will not abandon her! She is my own woman, of course I have to protect her! You also have to be obedient, it's nothing more than gaining a friend or sister, what's the big deal?"

"As long as you don't want to, you two should try to meet less often in the future!"

"Besides, look at you, you are so innocent. Before, when you were at home, your father protected you. Now it is my turn to protect you, but what if I am not at home? What if something happens and I don't get the news in time, or even if I get the news, I can't get back in time? What should I do?"

"With her here, you two can keep each other company! She's smart, clever, and has her own ideas. Her presence is like my presence. She will definitely not watch you being bullied by others! Just think, if you two get along better, you can really be like sisters, eating together, shopping together, how fun it would be!"

"You haven't had any sisters since you were a child, right? Don't you want to have a sister who understands you and is caring, and can accompany you on a daily basis?"

"Of course, I know. No matter what, you are just a lecher. I admit that! But you see, things have already come to this. She was ahead of you... and I married you, not her! Think about it, if we talk about being wronged, isn't she more wronged than you?"

"In this case, just think of it as loving your old official! If you can get along with her, then interact with her. If you can't, then just ignore her, okay? The old official will love you even more in the future..."

However, she was still unhappy.

There is no way around it. Not to mention in this day and age, even in the feudal era, I'm afraid no woman would be willing to discuss with her husband the issue of her having a mistress outside.

After a long struggle, she finally put forward her request, "Then... send her to another place!"

This time, it was Cao Yukun's turn to be unhappy.

My goodness, once this sentence was uttered, all the saliva I had said before was wasted.

Her meaning was very clear: If you really don't want to break up with her, fine, I won't force you, but it's not allowed in our county, you have to transfer her to another place!

On the wedding night, Cao Yukun didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so he smiled bitterly and hugged her. "Okay! I'll listen to you! Next, I'll make arrangements to drive her away and move her to another place, okay?"

She immediately smiled and nodded heavily, "Okay!"

But Cao Yukun said immediately: "But not now! You have to give me some time! You see, the beverage factory is doing so well now, and she has made great contributions. You just heard that I have planned to hand over all the beverage factory's work, from production to transportation and export, to her. Why? I want to spare time and energy to run our sock factory, right? It's temporary. It's not that she can't leave you, but you can't leave her!"

This is a little complicated... because Xie Xiaoyu really doesn't understand business.

Growing up with Xie Zhaofang for many years, she was influenced by him and vaguely understood some basic logic of doing business - capable people should be treated well, and the business will last as long as they are there!

So she felt a little embarrassed and frowned.

Seeing her reaction, Cao Yukun was stunned for a moment - his brain, especially after all the experiences he had gained since the time travel, was very smart and his reactions were getting faster and faster!
So, he immediately realized an opportunity!
It turns out that my thinking was wrong and deviated when I was working just now.

"In fact, she is by my side to help me make money! Think about it, she helps me make money, isn't she helping you make money? We are a family! If we drive her away, who will suffer? Us!"

"You don't do business, so you don't know that it's never too much to win over talented people!"

"Jiaying is a rare talent! In comparison, what happened between her and me is nothing! In fact, I can tell you that not only should you not ask me to send her away, but you should ask me to keep her! You should even put in some effort to help me win her over!"

"Think about it, is this true?"
