Chapter 329: Chapter 329 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 29_1

After arriving at the dormitory, Han Qian and the others gathered some wood. During autumn, when the trees are pruned, some small branches are left by the side of the trees.

The past few days had been dry, and so were the branches, which were perfect for use.

So they started boiling water. With hot water to help, the dormitory was soon cleaned up.

With the aid of hot water, the dormitory was quickly tidied up.

Huang Lei took out a clay pot and got out some of the braised pork that Huang Dapeng had specially made before they left.

There was also some rice, "I’ll go get some vegetables."

They simply made a one-pot meal with rice, meat, and vegetables—this flavor was absolutely inspired.

When Han Qian and the others finished eating and returned to the dormitory, they were greeted by a rich aroma of meat.

Without asking, they knew it was Old Master Huang’s culinary skill—they all knew that Huang Lei’s grandfather was a head chef at a big restaurant.

"You even brought braised pork?" Zhang Xia immediately regretted it. Although her own cooking skills couldn’t compare to Huang Dapeng’s, it was still meat.

Han Qian also regretted it, "My uncle went on a business trip to the seaside, and he brought back a lot of hairtail. My mom’s braised hairtail is so delicious."

The topic suddenly changed to what everyone ate during the Spring Festival, and they had all brought back some meat to some extent.

This year could truly be considered a prosperous year for their families.

Qian Lina recalled the previous encounter with Wang Nan on the ship, "Right, Huang Lei, I met your friend Wang Nan on the boat, and somehow I feel that after she went back home, she has lost quite a bit of weight."

If it weren’t for knowing Qian Lina’s personality, Zhang Xia might actually believe she was concerned about Wang Nan.

Huang Lei hummed in acknowledgment, "She has lost a lot, but I was busy at home during the Spring Festival and didn’t see her."

"We didn’t chat much on the dock, and once I got on the boat, I just wanted to rest."

Sorry, even though she’s a friend, I didn’t really have much exchange with her, "But I think she looked quite spirited."

"Probably because her family is about to gain two nephews, she must be busy," they said.

"Wang Nan is certainly a filial and sensible child; she’s quite skilled at household chores."

"Unlike me, I mostly rested at home after returning." It’s okay to be a bit lazy, but one should still promote Wang Nan’s filial piety and sensibility.

As daughters in their families, almost everyone knew the price one has to pay for parents to describe a daughter as sensible and filial, especially when there are many brothers involved.

Although some people felt that Huang Lei would be pitiable in the future after her grandparents passed away, as she had no parents or siblings,

it did not prevent them from envying her now—the Huang family elders often sent her money and stuff.

Even though everyone had gained some weight over the New Year, no one could compare to Huang Lei, who had clearly gained a whole lot.

Zhang Xia and Han Qian were quite pampered at home; otherwise, they wouldn’t have spent money so early on building cabinets.

But the extent to which they were spoiled at home could not compare to Huang Lei; the difference was truly significant.

Just to help improve Huang Lei’s diet, her family had prepared so much for her, one could imagine how much her family doted on her.

Qian Lina knew that Huang Lei’s family was well-off and very good to her, but she had not expected them to be this good to her.

Even though her intuition told her not to spoil the mood with her words, she really couldn’t control herself.

"Huang Lei, it’s not good for you to be without siblings. What will you do if your husband’s family bullies you in the future?"

"If you have brothers, they are your biggest support," Qian Lina also felt that once she was married, her family would be her greatest reliance.

Although Zhang Xia and the others didn’t speak up, they actually shared the same thought.

"I don’t think so," Wang Nan used to whisper this in the original owner’s ear all the time.

"Brothers, brothers, once they get married, they all have their own little families, their own little schemes. They’ll consider themselves more."

"Of course, there are brothers who take care of their sisters, but I’m not comfortable putting all my hopes on so-called brothers."

"Rather than waiting for reliance from my family or my brothers, it’s better to rely on myself."

"As long as you are strong enough, you are your biggest support."

"Besides, I’m an only child in my family. I’ve decided, I must marry into a family, not get married out."

Why marry and be docile when you can be decisive and direct? "I’ll be the one calling the shots," Huang Lei figured that someone might be eyeing her for their advantage and was very straightforward.

"Marry into a family?" Everyone in the dormitory gasped in surprise.

Zhang Xia had always known Huang Lei to be a thoughtful person, but she had never expected her to be this unconventional.

"Right, my family has a house, a three-bedroom one at that. Who else can match this level?"

Is there even a need to think about it? Practically no one could, and even if there were such conditions, they wouldn’t be interested in Huang Lei.

"My grandfather earns well and can support our whole family. Can the husband’s family match this power?"

"Even if they could, wouldn’t it be split among several descendants?"

"What’s most important is that I won’t take my family’s house and money to follow the tune of my husband’s family."

"It’s better to be straightforward and find a man who will marry into the family, and not to nag me about it."

Huang Lei had brought this up with Huang Dapeng over the Spring Festival. Although the old couple felt it might not be very good, their main concern was that Huang Lei’s marriage prospects wouldn’t be smooth.

These days, there really weren’t many men willing to marry into a family, not to mention those with abilities, who all have their pride.

Huang Lei thought there was no need to worry. If the man wasn’t capable, she’d find someone who was honest and decent, who she could control.

When she could no longer control him, divorce would probably be commonplace. At that time, she’d just deal with it, and the child would stay with her.

Truth be told, when Huang Lei first mentioned this, she was worried that Huang Dapeng and his wife wouldn’t be able to accept it, as it was too progressive.

To her surprise, Huang Dapeng and his wife weren’t shocked at all; instead, they thought the proposal was good.

Elder Huang was even excited, declaring that he would definitely help choose a suitor.

Well, Huang Lei quickly understood the reason. It was simple: Elder Huang, who’d been exposed to grand mansions since childhood with his master and had seen a lot, found it sensible.

"My grandparents agree with my idea," Huang Lei threw out another bombshell at the end.

To the still astonished crowd, hearing that the Huang Family Elders had no objections meant that they certainly had no grounds to object.

Soon, the news that the Huang family sought a son-in-law spread quickly. The boys who had been hovering around and showing off to her suddenly disappeared.

Even those coveting the Huang family’s wealth couldn’t be so blatant. They had their pride to consider.

Wang Nan was also shocked by the news. There had been no such plans in the Huang family before; how could they have changed so suddenly?

But soon, she didn’t have time to care about Huang Lei’s affairs, for she had more important things to attend to.
