Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me
Chapter 523 - 522: Mass Release 2

Chapter 523: Chapter 522: Mass Release 2

He didn’t specify which past incidents, but everyone knew very well what he was referring to.

In the end, Xu Sanya was still cajoled by Du Zhiwen.

The Xu family members actually didn’t give Du Zhiwen too hard of a time.

This made Du Zhiwen even more aware of how ridiculously wrong he had been before.

This family was much better than he had imagined, and their mentality was countless times nobler than his.

He thought that coming over today would definitely mean facing difficulties.

It turned out everything had been his own assumptions and narrow-mindedness.

The couple had just reconciled when the old lady rushed them back home.

Before leaving, Xu Sanya, that shameless one, even ran to the kitchen and carried off a bag of leftover dishes from Xu Zhiqiang’s banquet.

Yang Cuihua immediately laughed, "Sanya, you shameless thing, put that down."

Xu Sanya retorted, "What use is face? I’m not putting it down."

Then, she grabbed Du Zhiwen and ran off with giggles.

Du Zhiwen felt very embarrassed.

"Sanya, maybe we shouldn’t take it after all. Your sister-in-law might get upset."

Xu Sanya snorted, "Don’t worry, my sister-in-law is a classic case of ’all bark and no bite.’ She complains about everything, but she doesn’t mean any harm. Just take it as if she’s letting off steam. She’s stingy with outsiders, but pretty generous with family."

Du Zhiwen: "..."

He involuntarily looked back at Yang Cuihua, who was sitting in the yard cracking sunflower seeds with a smile on her face, confirming Sanya’s description of her not being angry.

His impression of Yang Cuihua, his sister-in-law, had always been harsh and shrewish.

He had never thought of getting to know her family, and all his understanding of them had started from the first impression.

Turns out, you really can’t judge a book by its cover.

Du Zhiwen felt remorseful once again, realizing how petty he had been before.

Sanya’s issue was resolved, and it was time for everyone to return to their respective homes.

Xu Niannian returned to her room to rest, while the old lady took Xu Wentian out to the rapeseed flower fields. Romantic Wentian picked a bouquet of rapeseed flowers and tucked them into the old lady’s hair.

The old lady, with a broom-like bouquet of rapeseed flowers atop her head, wore a smile as brilliant as chrysanthemums in bloom.

Her face was full of wrinkles, but she smiled with pure joy.

She twirled around in front of Wentian, "Old man, do I look good?"

Because they had parted ways so early, much love could only be hidden in their hearts. After reuniting, the old lady’s personality slowly returned to that of her younger days, and she began to act more and more like a young woman.

Of course, this side of her was only revealed to Wentian.

To Xu Erhong and Xu Sanya, she was still the Tiger Auntie they had always known.

Now old, she lacked the beauty of her youth, and her body had become more bent; even her twirling movements weren’t as graceful.

But in Wentian’s eyes, she was the most beautiful. He smiled gently, "You look lovely, the most beautiful."

The old lady’s eyes crinkled into a smile from his compliment, "I think so too."

When it came to self-confidence, none of the three Xu siblings could outdo the old lady.

In the rapeseed field, the two old people strolled slowly, and some onlookers saw the elderly couple holding hands, shy and sweet.

"Isn’t that Dawei’s mom? Aww, look at those old lovebirds holding hands, it’s so enviable."

"For sure, if my spouse could still be like that with me when we’re old, I’d be over the moon."

"Oh please, can you compare? That man was gone for decades and only came back. If it were me, I wouldn’t have it. I’d rather bicker for a lifetime."

The bystanders’ voices were soft, too quiet for Wentian and the old lady to hear.

And it wouldn’t have mattered even if they had heard.

To Old Lady Yu, what had happened could not be changed; living in the present and being happy was the truest form of bliss.

She had found her man now. Instead of dwelling on the heartbreaking years they had lost, she preferred to cherish each day as it comes.

Being happy made one gradually forget the feeling of unhappiness.

Like now, the old lady was very happy. She could remember the sorrow of thinking Wentian had left, but she couldn’t put herself back into that emotion. Looking back, it was almost like reading someone else’s story.

Because she was now happy, surrounded by a loving family, dutiful children, a caring husband, and without the mess she used to despise in her house.

While the two elders were out enjoying the rapeseed flowers, Xu Erhong was about to head to the factory but was stopped by Xu Sisi.

"Dad, I have something to tell you," Xu Sisi said seriously, blocking his path.

Xu Erhong grunted, "No time."

Xu Sisi, biting her teeth in frustration, went straight to the point, "Dad, I don’t want to be engaged to Brother Ruiyang."

"Brother Ruiyang?" Xu Erhong laughed slyly, chuckling with a sneer.

Xu Sisi: "..."

The conversation couldn’t continue.

Helplessly, she propped her head in her hands, "Dad, I’m serious. I don’t want to get engaged to Brother Ruiyang right now."

She was still uncertain about her own feelings, and even more so about what Jin Ruiyang was really like. Rushing into an engagement, she feared she might one day realize she didn’t like him.

And what if another man, just like the previous Brother Ruiyang, appeared in the future, and she fell for him?

What then?

Would she become a heartbreaker?

No, absolutely not.

"Dad knows, you’re still in school after all. We’ll discuss it later," Xu Erhong said nonchalantly.

Xu Sisi frowned, "Then you all better not go making decisions about me and Brother Ruiyang behind my back."
