Zhou Chen pointed to his head and said, "The brain is a good thing."
Han Chunming's face fell. Zhou Chen's blatant mockery made him speechless.
"Thank you for telling me this. I'm leaving now."
After learning about this, Han Chunming could no longer sit still. He now just wanted to verify the authenticity of this matter as soon as possible.
Because this matter concerns him, Cai Xiaoli, and Li Chengtao. He knows that Cheng Jianjun is a villain, so he doesn't want Cai Xiaoli to fall into the fire pit.
At the same time, Taozi is madly in love with Cai Xiaoli. If Cai Xiaoli and Cheng Jianjun were together, it would be an absolute devastating blow to Taozi.
To Zhou Chen's surprise, Han Chunming did not bring Meng Xiaoxing to see him the next day. He guessed that it was because Han Chunming was dealing with Cai Xiaoli's affairs and had no time to take care of Meng Xiaoxing's work problems.
Zhou Chen felt relieved when he didn't come to find him. He didn't want to accept Meng Xiaoxing anyway.
As the days passed, Zhou Chen's teaching at Peking University was going well and his life was pretty easy.
The relationship with Han Chunyan also developed slowly over time.
If he said that he liked Han Chunyan very much, he would be lying. He only had a good impression of Han Chunyan now, but it was not yet to the extent of being in love. It was estimated that he would not have such a deep love for Han Chunyan in the future.
He felt that the love between him and Han Chunyan was not as passionate as his previous marriage.
He had experienced the process of dating and getting married many times. Except for the time with Gu Jia, where he had no feelings for her, he had put a lot of love into the other women he married. There were romances, quarrels, and all kinds of setbacks...
But this time with Han Chunyan, Han Chunyan was more accommodating to him. There had never been any quarrel between the two of them, and as for romance, there was none at all.
I always feel like it's a situation of just living together. There's liking, but not enough love.
Zhou Chen felt a little sorry for Han Chunyan, but he could see that Han Chunyan herself was still very happy. As long as he was with her, she was happy.
Zhou Chen knew that Han Chunyan's love for him was love, but his love for Han Chunyan was far from enough.
He felt that he was becoming more and more of a jerk. The more he experienced, the colder his heart became. This might be because he had invested too much emotion in the previous world, so that in this world, his emotions became much more indifferent.
Even though he knew that Han Chunyan was so good to him and he should love her more, it was very difficult to do so.
He also figured it out: two people getting married isn't necessarily because of love, and a marriage without love isn't necessarily unhappy.
He is with Han Chunyan, and as long as he treats Han Chunyan well and does not betray her, this may not be a kind of relationship.
Moreover, after decades of experience, how many couples in the future world are together because of love? Aren't most of them just living together?
Even if they get together because of love at the beginning, after a few years of married life, how many couples can still maintain the same love they had at the beginning?
I'm afraid that in the end, most people are driven by habit and responsibility...
In Zhou Chen's opinion, for most couples, after many years of marriage, family affection will replace love, and the family affection between them will be greater than love.
Zhou Chen told his sister Zhou Yi, as well as his uncle and aunt about his relationship with Han Chunyan.
After learning that the person he was dating was Han Chunyan, both his sister and his second uncle and aunt were very dissatisfied.
In their eyes, Zhou Chen graduated from Peking University and is currently a teacher at Peking University. He is an elite talent in society.
And what about Han Chunyan?
She is just a factory worker, not pretty enough, not well educated, and has a poor family background. How can she be worthy of Zhou Chen?
But their opposition was useless, Zhou Chen had made up his mind, and they could only agree.
Since persuasion was useless, they urged Zhou Chen to get married as soon as possible and have children for the Zhou family.
Through his understanding of Han Chunyan over the years, Zhou Chen believed that Han Chunyan would not change much after they were together.
Even if there is, he is not afraid.
A natural marriage took place just like that.
Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan got married. On the wedding day, the wedding was held at Chabalou, with more than a dozen tables of guests.
From this day on, Zhou Chen became Han Chunming's second brother-in-law.
…………
"Second sister, I'm staying for dinner today, please add a bowl."
Han Chunming sat carelessly on the chair and spoke to Han Chunyan in the room.
Han Chunyan came out of the house and asked, "Have you said hello to our mother?"
"I told you, when will Zhou Chen come back?"
"What Zhou Chen? He is your brother-in-law."
Han Chunming sighed and said, "Second sister, he and I are so familiar with each other. If you ask me to call him brother-in-law, I really can't say it. Besides, Zhou Chen doesn't care, so just leave it alone."
Han Chunyan glared at him and said, "You have no manners at all. He should be back soon. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
"Hehe, you are still good to me, second sister. You can cook whatever you want and I will eat it."
"Virtue."
"Second sister, give me the key to the east wing. I'll go over and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Han Chunyan immediately stared at Han Chunming with vigilance: "Don't even think about it. Zhou Chen has already said that you are not allowed to enter the east wing."
Han Chunming shouted angrily: "Second sister, you can't just say whatever he says. You are also the mistress of the house. I am your brother. I just went in to take a few looks. Why is that not okay?"
Han Chunyan sneered, "Xiao Wu, who are you? How could I not know? Not to mention your brother-in-law's instructions, even if he hadn't, I wouldn't let you in. The things in there are all his treasures, don't even think about taking anything away."
Although she and Zhou Chen had only been married for a short time, they had known each other for many years and she was well aware of how much Zhou Chen valued those old items. If Chunming took away a few of them, she would not be able to explain to Zhou Chen.
Han Chunming was depressed: "Well, you guys are awesome. Zhou Chen is on guard against me, but you are my second sister, and you are also on guard against me. We are siblings."
"It's no use for you to tell me anything. I'm going to the kitchen to cook. You wait here."
When Zhou Chen rode his bike back home, he saw Han Chunming sitting in the main room drinking tea and eating melon seeds.
"Chunming, you came to see me because of Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli? Did you receive the invitation as well?"
Han Chunming was stunned when he heard this: "What happened to Cai Xiaoli and Cheng Jianjun? What invitation?"
Zhou Chen took out a wedding invitation from his bag and handed it to Han Chunming.
"I thought you already knew. After all, you live in the same compound. Turns out you didn't know."
When Han Chunming took the invitation, his expression changed drastically, because it turned out to be the wedding invitation of Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli.
"Before I told you about the affair between Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli, I thought you could stop it, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Cai Xiaoli has flaws, but she is actually a good person. Zhou Chen originally wanted to help her, so he told Han Chunming.
But now it seems that some things cannot be changed by his will, perhaps because he did not intervene directly.
Han Chunming's face was livid: "Cheng Jianjun, that bastard, and Cai Xiaoli, they have only been dating for a short time, and they are actually getting married. If they get married, what will happen to Taozi?"
"Whatever needs to be done, just do it, Chunming. You're just worrying too much. Li Chengtao isn't a three-year-old child. Can't he live without Cai Xiaoli?"
In Zhou Chen's opinion, Li Chengtao is just stupid. Cai Xiaoli has already made it clear that she will not be with him, but he still shamelessly tries to please her.
Licking the dog, licking the dog, licking until the end, there is nothing left.
This is people like Li Chengtao. He ended up like this because of his own fault. Even if Cai Xiaoli did some unkind things, at least she never deceived him emotionally.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 659 Acting, Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli get married
Knowing that Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli were getting married, Han Chunming could not remain calm at all. He even spoke very little during the meal.
After dinner, Han Chunming did not stay long and left in a hurry.
Han Chunming's abnormal behavior made Han Chunyan confused. She knew her brother quite well and this was not like his character.
"What happened to Xiaowu?"
Zhou Chen placed the wedding invitation next to it on the table.
"Here."
Han Chunyan opened the invitation in surprise, "Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli are getting married. No wonder Xiaowu is so worried. After all, he talked to Cai Xiaoli about it before. Now that he knows that Cai Xiaoli is going to marry Cheng Jianjun, he must be in a bad mood."
Zhou Chen shook his head with emotion. Up to now, the entire Han family still didn't know the truth of the matter. Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli had never been in a relationship.
But he didn't expose the matter as so many years have passed.
"Give me a red envelope when the time comes."
"How much is the bag?"
Zhou Chen recalled the time when he and Han Chunyan got married. Although he did not invite Cheng Jianjun, Cheng Jianjun still came. Cai Xiaoli also came, and both of them gave gifts.
"Four hundred, please."
When Han Chunyan heard this, she was immediately surprised and asked, "So many?"
You have to know that she has worked for so many years, and her monthly salary is only a few dozen yuan. Now the factory's performance is not good, and she can only get 60% of the salary.
By this calculation, four hundred yuan is equivalent to her salary for most of half a year.
"It's not much. Didn't I give you the money? You don't have to save it. Just spend it."
Han Chunyan quickly shook her head and said, "How can that be possible? I still have to save so much money. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a house?"
Zhou Chen looked helpless: "Chunyan, you really don't need to save. The business at the store is good now, and the dividends are not small. Although all the money is used to open a new store, it won't be long before you can get more money back. With the 20,000 yuan I gave you, buy whatever you need. Don't save it."
Zhou's small commodity store has been open for half a year. It is an exaggeration to say that it makes a fortune every day, but it is not a problem for Zhou Chen to get a dividend of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month. In addition, a new store is about to open, so doubling the profit will not be a problem.
The 20,000 yuan he gave to Han Chunyan was mainly red envelopes received at her wedding. He received several thousand yuan in red envelopes from friends alone, not to mention from relatives.
Han's mother gave five thousand. Of course, this five thousand was not Han's mother's own money, but the betrothal money given by Zhou Chen. She did not take a penny and put it all in red envelopes, and also bought a lot of things.
Han Chunyan's two brothers and one sister each contributed 200 yuan, Han Chunming contributed 2,000 yuan, and Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu each contributed 1,000 yuan.
Zhou Yi, Zhou Chen's biological sister, gave 10,000 yuan directly, and his second uncle Zhou Liangping also gave 5,000 yuan. In his words, Zhou Chen was the only male in the Zhou family, and his money was given to Zhou Chen either his daughter or Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen received tens of thousands of yuan in gifts and red envelopes. After deducting the money for the wedding and banquet, the remaining 20,000 yuan was all given to Han Chunyan by Zhou Chen.
Han Chunyan has lived for thirty years and has never been so wealthy, but she has always been frugal. Even when she had money, she did not spend it recklessly. Instead, she kept it for herself and prepared to buy a house for Zhou Chen.
In fact, she couldn't quite understand Zhou Chen's idea, because in her eyes, Zhou Chen's courtyard house was really too good. She didn't understand why Zhou Chen was still thinking about buying a house when they already had such a good house.
Zhou Chen did not tell Han Chunyan about his idea of buying a villa, because it was only the end of 82 and commercial housing had not yet fully developed. Even in Yanjing, the price of housing was only a few hundred yuan per square meter.
As for villas, the price of the house is actually not much different, but because of the large area, a villa, especially within the Second Ring Road, will cost at least hundreds of thousands.
Even Zhou Chen doesn't have that much money now, so he must make money first. Although housing prices will rise in a few years, he will only make more money.
So he didn't plan to tell Han Chunyan about buying a villa right now. If he said it, Han Chunyan would definitely be scared.
Another reason is that Zhou Chen has a good impression of Han's mother and Han Chunming, but he has no good feelings towards the two older brothers and sister.
He was familiar with the plot and knew very well what the situation was with those three people. Han Chunming was badly cheated by them. He did not want to be targeted by these three people, so it was necessary for him to keep a low profile.
Cheng Jianjun and Cai Xiaoli's wedding banquet was held as scheduled, in the yard of their home.
Zhou Chen had no intention of joining in the fun, so he went there with Han Chunyan around noon.
As soon as I entered the gate of the courtyard, Cheng Jianjun came towards me.
"Hey, Zhou Chen is here, welcome, welcome."
It was a happy day, and even though Cheng Jianjun was very unhappy with Zhou Chen, he still greeted him with a smile.
Zhou Chen said politely, "Cheng Jianjun, congratulations. Cai Xiaoli is the most outstanding female educated youth among us. I don't know how many people are eyeing her. I didn't expect that you would get the upper hand in the end. You must treat her well in the future."
"Congratulations, congratulations. Second Sister Han is well-known in our courtyard for her virtue. Compared with Second Sister Han, our Xiaoli is just average."
"You greet the guests, we'll go in first."
"Okay, then I won't greet you for now."
Because the space in the backyard was relatively large, the banquet was set up there. However, Zhou Chen and Han Chunyan did not go to the backyard immediately, but returned to Han's house first.
"Mom, why didn't you go to the backyard to help?"
"I helped, but now I can't help anymore, so I came back to rest. Xiaochen, come and sit down."
Han's mother is very enthusiastic about Zhou Chen. It's no wonder that among the five children in their Han family, none of them can go to school and none of them have even finished high school.
As for Zhou Chen, he not only comes from a cadre family, but he also graduated from Peking University and is currently a teacher at Peking University. In ancient times, this would have at least been a juren or jinshi.
Therefore, the entire Han family respected Zhou Chen very much. As a mother, Han's mother liked Zhou Chen especially and felt that he was several times better than her eldest son-in-law.
"Thank you, Mom."
