Chapter 120: Modern Extra [11]
Shen Xizhi was completely bewildered as she listened from the side, but she was very good and didn’t speak. It wasn’t until Song Yugui had hung up the phone in a huff that she asked in a small voice, “What did you say just now? What’s this about raising pigs?”
She didn’t understand. The CEO had never heard of the pig industry.
Song Yugui’s face was dark. “My dad opened a pig farm and also slaughters pigs to sell pork. He’s always wanted me to quit my job and go back to inherit his pig farm. I refused. Today, he actually wants you to go and inherit his pig farm! Don’t mind him! He’s sick!”
Just thinking about it was speechless. My wife is so beautiful and delicate. On what grounds should she go and raise pigs for you!
Shen Xizhi was stunned. She lay in her girlfriend’s embrace, her face full of confusion. “How are pigs raised?”
She had only eaten pork and knew nothing about raising pigs.
“You just feed them some pig feed or something. Some families will also casually cook some leftovers for the pigs to eat. Pigs eat anything and are quite easy to raise. But they stink. I don’t want you to raise pigs.”
She and her wife were close, their faces nuzzling.
Shen Xizhi nodded, then frowned. “Does uncle mean that I have to raise pigs before he’ll agree to us being together?”
Song Yugui recalled for a while, then shrugged her shoulders, not caring much. “There’s a bit of that meaning, but you don’t have to mind him. I don’t even mind him.”
Why should I care about him? He’s sick! I’m the one in a relationship, not him. On what grounds can he ask my wife to go and raise pigs for him? How outrageous!
Shen Xizhi nodded with hesitation, still a little uneasy. She asked again, “Then will uncle be unhappy?”
“He’s unhappy every day. That’s not important.”
Shen Xizhi: …
“Oh.”
After a while, she tugged at Song Yugui’s sleeve again and said in a small voice when the other looked at her, “I don’t want uncle and aunt to dislike me. Why don’t I… go and raise pigs for them?”
Song Yugui: The sky has fallen! My wife has listened to slander and is going to raise pigs.
She didn’t even think before she immediately rejected it. “You’re a dignified CEO! What pigs are you raising! You’re not allowed to go! I’ll talk to my parents. They won’t really disagree. Didn’t I tell you? I’m very rebellious. In the end, they can only agree!”
“But I’m afraid…”
Xizhi hesitated. “I’m afraid that uncle and aunt will agree on the surface but still dislike me in their hearts.”
She didn’t care about her own parents, but Song Yugui’s family clearly had a very good relationship. She couldn’t bear to let their relationship have a rift.
“They won’t. They will definitely like you. It’s just that they haven’t seen you yet. Their dream is to have a daughter like you.”
Song Yugui was talking nonsense with a straight face.
“My dad has always wanted me to inherit his pig farm, but I refused. It’s a good thing I didn’t go. If I had inherited the pig farm, I wouldn’t have been able to meet you.”
It was a good thing she hadn’t inherited it.
Shen Xizhi nuzzled her lips, saying warmly, “Even if you had inherited the pig farm, I would have gone to find you.”
She had dreamed of Song Yugui, searching all over the world for a person named Song Yugui. Even if she had hidden at home and had opened a pig farm, she would have been found sooner or later.
Song Yugui just thought she was saying nice things to coax her and didn’t take it seriously, her lips curving into a smile.
“Let’s not talk about him. Let’s work.”
“Mmm, what do uncle and aunt like? You can tell me, and I’ll send them some presents later.”
“You want to meet the parents?”
Song Yugui sat behind her desk and asked with a smile.
In her impression, only when you met the parents did you need to send presents.
“Are you planning to take me back?”
“Anything is fine. If you want to see them, you can see them. If you don’t want to, it doesn’t matter. I can just go back myself.”
It was the National Day holiday in a while. It was a long break, so she would definitely have to go home.
Shen Xizhi was sulking in her girlfriend’s embrace, her voice also muffled. “Let’s see them. We’ve already made it public. We have to see them sooner or later. Or are you not planning to marry me?”
They had only gotten together last night, and today she was already thinking of marriage. It was like she was addicted, unable to be separated from her.
This progress was a little embarrassing, but she also didn’t mind.
She pressed her lips together and was actually quite happy.
“Alright then. Then we’ll go home together during the National Day holiday.”
As she was thinking, she opened her phone and sent a message to her parents respectively. Her mom was fine and just replied with a string of “…”
Her dad asked in return, “Are you coming back to raise pigs for me?”
Song Yugui was furious. “In your dreams! My wife is not raising pigs for you!”
The word ‘wife’ coming from his own daughter’s mouth was a little hard for Song’s dad to accept. He had been typing for a long time but hadn’t sent anything and just ignored her directly.
Hmph, if you’re not going to talk, then you’re not going to talk.
Song Yugui turned her head and held her wife’s small face, giving her a loud peck.
Shen Xizhi had just been watching her send messages. Seeing this, she was very worried. After being kissed, she nestled in her girlfriend’s embrace, her brow slightly furrowed. “Does uncle really hope someone will inherit his pig farm?”
“Mmm, but you’re not allowed to listen to him. I was originally thinking that if I couldn’t make it working outside, I would go back and inherit the pig farm.”
But now, the facts had proven that work was too promising.
“Don’t go back.”
She didn’t want to be in a different place from her girlfriend.
“I won’t go back. You don’t have to mind him either. My dad is in good health. He can still raise them for a few more years. When he really can’t anymore, I’ll think of a way.”
Shen Xizhi nuzzled her wife’s face and said gently, “How about I have a professional raise them for you?”
She didn’t know how to raise pigs, and her work was also busy usually. It was really hard to take care of raising pigs, and it was impossible for Song Yugui to leave her and go back to raise pigs. After thinking for a while, this was the only way she could think of.
“Mmm, we can talk about it then. At worst, we’ll just spend money to hire someone to raise them.”
“Then you can accompany me to pick out some presents for my aunt and uncle in a little while.”
She was very anxious, feeling that her lover’s family would not accept her, and was afraid that her lover would be affected by this and would not like her as much.
“Mmm, you can just buy whatever. My mom likes gold, and my dad… mmm, he likes to raise pigs. You don’t have to mind him.”
Shen Xizhi’s eyes widened. Liking gold is one thing, but liking to raise pigs? What is she supposed to give him?
“Then you can just buy him some pig feed.”
…
“Oh, I’ll have someone arrange it then.”
Her heart was extremely nervous. It wasn’t until the night of the National Day holiday, when she came to pick out some gold jewelry, that she was so nervous she couldn’t even breathe a few times.
Later, while Song Yugui was in the washroom, she waved her hand and directly booked the whole place.
There were also many styles of gold jewelry. She didn’t know what kind of style Song’s mom liked, so she simply bought all of them and let Song’s mom choose for herself.
When Song Yugui returned, she saw the staff in the shop busy packing up. She didn’t react that it was for them and even went over to ask, “Have you picked it out? If you have, we can go back.”
Shen Xizhi smiled gently and obediently, her large, watery eyes looking at her. “Wait a minute. It’s not packed yet.”
“Oh.”
Hearing that it wasn’t packed yet, Song Yugui honestly stood on the side and waited for them to pack.
What she found strange was, how come every packed box was for them?
How come everyone in the shop was packing?
Song Yugui went closer to her wife and asked in a small voice with a frown, “Is this shop going out of business?”
Shen Xizhi: …
“Why do you say that?”
“I feel like they’re clearing out their old stock. Are they going out of business and transferring ownership? Then the gold you bought won’t be mixed with other things, will it?”
When they found out the gold was fake, their shop had already transferred ownership. There was nowhere to go to find them.
Shen Xizhi was helpless. “You really can imagine. It’s not a transfer. These are all what I bought. They’re helping us to pack.”
Song Yugui’s red lips were slightly parted, and she was dumbfounded. “You… you bought so much?”
Her jaw was about to drop to the floor. She subconsciously asked, “Can we return it? My mom would have to have several hands to wear so much.”
Shen Xizhi gave her a reproachful look, not caring at all. “She can wear a different one every day. What’s so much about this? I’ve already bought it. I’m not returning it.”
She didn’t listen at all.
Even though Song Yugui was already prepared in her heart, she was still so shocked by the rich woman’s generosity that she couldn’t stand it.
She was silent for a long while. It wasn’t until she was in the car with her that she lay on the steering wheel and said as if she were joking, “You’re so rich. I feel like I’m not good enough for you.”
Shen Xizhi was surprised. Shen Xizhi was greatly shocked. How can you let your imagination run wild!
She immediately refuted without a word. “No! You’re not not good enough for me! Nonsense!”
“Hmph, hmph. I feel like you’re always so generous to me, spending so much money on me. How can I ever compare to you?”
She was even a little embarrassed. All she did was buy her boss breakfast, take her boss to and from work, and add a little gas to the car. The money she spent was completely incomparable to her boss’s. Even if she took out her entire fortune, it might be nothing in Shen Xizhi’s eyes.
But Shen Xizhi didn’t think so, and she also wouldn’t let Song Yugui think so.
She stood up straight and went closer to kiss the corner of her mouth, then reached out to hold her hand, her tone nervous, her slender brows slightly furrowed. “What are you talking about? My money is your money. Between us, there’s no ‘yours’ and ‘mine’.”
She didn’t like the other drawing such a clear line. They were together.
“Your money is your own money.”
“It’s your money! My money is your money! The house you bought is also my house! I’m going to add my name to it tomorrow!”
Shen Xizhi wouldn’t listen to her and just wanted to be with her, to be with her in everything.
Adding her name was not a big deal. Song Yugui casually agreed. Shen Xizhi was afraid that she would say something about ‘your money’ and ‘my money’ again. She was so annoyed hearing it that she quickly lay on her shoulder and swayed her. “Alright, alright! I’ve been living at your house for so long, and I don’t feel like I owe you anything! Don’t say it anymore! If you say it again, I’ll really be angry!”
As Shen Xizhi spoke, she held Song Yugui’s face and kissed her.
Song Yugui didn’t say anything more, just had tears in her eyes as she held her wife, nuzzling her embrace and saying that her wife was really good.
On the first day of the National Day holiday, she drove her wife back to see her parents.
Shen Xizhi was worried all the way, afraid that her aunt and uncle would not like her. She didn’t talk much on the way and kept tidying her clothes.
“Will aunt and uncle like someone a little more obedient?”
“Aren’t you obedient enough?”
Xizhi had always given her whatever she wanted. She couldn’t be more obedient.
Shen Xizhi looked down at the gentle long skirt on her and said in a small voice, “A obedient person, how could she lead you to do this kind of thing?”
How could a obedient person try every means to get someone to be a lesbian with her?
“I was willing. And I told my parents that I was originally a lesbian, and that you were bent by me. Don’t let it slip later.”
She was turning the steering wheel on one hand and reminding her wife on the other.
Shen Xizhi was moved in her heart and was coy with her, extremely soft and gentle. “You’re clearly also very good to me. You’re the best to me.”
What money? It couldn’t measure the feelings between two people at all.
They had come in a hurry. Adding a name to the property deed was very troublesome. Because they were not a married couple, the procedures were much more complicated. But the two of them had already agreed to go and do it after they returned from their hometown.
They wouldn’t delay.
The Song family was in a small town below Huai City. Although it was a small town, there were small Western-style houses and cement roads everywhere, so it was not difficult to walk.
The sneakers Shen Xizhi had prepared were not used. Her girlfriend liked her to wear high heels.
One of them was wearing a white spaghetti-strap long dress with a small gauze jacket outside, gentle and beautiful. The other was wearing a ribbon-sleeved shirt with a light-colored, split long skirt, intellectual and beautiful.
The two of them’s dressing styles were originally the same. Shen Xizhi had even only worn cool-toned suits all year round. But she was afraid of not being liked by her lover’s parents and had insisted on ordering a gentle and obedient skirt at the last minute.
And she was still afraid she wasn’t obedient enough. She was clearly so obedient.
The moment Song Yugui and her wife got out of the car, she secretly stole a kiss on her face.
The old father, who had just received the news and had come out to pick up his daughter, had his eyes go black and wished he could poke his own eyes out.
She, she, she!
Song Yugui turned her head and also saw her dad. She quickly pulled at Shen Xizhi’s hand and went closer. “Dad!”
Song’s dad: …
“Don’t call me. I don’t have a daughter like you. I can’t afford to be so embarrassed, so embarrassed.”
As he spoke, he quickly walked back. Shen Xizhi’s small face turned pale, and the sky collapsed.
My girlfriend’s dad doesn’t like me. What should I do?
How could Song Yugui not see her wife’s expression? She quickly held her and comforted her. “It’s alright. It’s not because of you. My dad just looks down on me. He’s the most duplicitous, hard-mouthed, and soft-hearted person. There’s definitely a table of food prepared at home. You can trust me. It’s not that he doesn’t like you.”
Shen Xizhi was so scared her eyes were red. After being coaxed like this for a while, she finally felt a little better and nodded slightly.
The dad who had just left the main gate came back again, holding half his face and saying in a rough voice, “Are you two still standing there feeding the mosquitoes? Come in!”
Song Yugui complained about him. “Why are you so fierce? You scared Xizhi.”
Song’s dad was so angry he wanted to hit her. “You’re the ones who scared me!”
He had been honest all his life, but he had given birth to a rebellious daughter. She was unwilling to inherit the family business and insisted on working for someone else. She wouldn’t even get married and wanted to have a wife back. And she wouldn’t even let her wife inherit his pig farm, saying that a CEO couldn’t raise pigs. Hmph, what’s so great about a CEO? The profits of some small companies are not even as high as raising pigs.
Song’s dad was not convinced and also looked at the two of them with displeasure.
Shen Xizhi’s heart was in her throat. Her eyes kept looking back, her expression slightly anxious.
Song Yugui was about to pull her in when she said in a small voice that the presents hadn’t arrived yet. Their car couldn’t fit them, so she had simply arranged for a few other cars to bring the presents.
The moment the words fell, five or six luxury cars came one after another.
Song Yugui looked over and raised an eyebrow. The neighbors who had come out were all shocked by this scene. “Aiyo, Old Song, your daughter has made a name for herself? That… that she’s returned home in glory?”
Seeing so many cars that were clearly of no small value, Song’s dad was so shocked his tiger-like eyes widened. The next second, he waved his hand. “Go, go, go! It’s not our family’s! Don’t talk nonsense! My daughter is just a little assistant! How can she afford so many cars? Hmph, I even paid for her first car.”
Song Yugui: …
Her first car was over two hundred thousand. Her dad had paid a hundred thousand, and she had paid the rest, so it was also considered that her dad had paid for it.
The moment Song’s dad finished speaking, the doors of several cars opened, and a group of men in black suits came out and went toward them.
This gave her a start. Song Yugui quickly said, “This is the first-meeting gift Xizhi has brought for you and Mom. It couldn’t fit in the car, so it came in batches. Shall we go in and talk?”
Song’s dad: ?
Whose first-meeting gift?
His gaze swept over the small girl who had been standing quietly on the side. Compared to his rebellious daughter who didn’t speak, the other clearly looked very good. Can such a good person be a CEO and suppress people?
Dad was puzzled.
Although he couldn’t accept Song Yugui being a homosexual, since the other had politely brought a present, he couldn’t just give her a cold shoulder. Seeing the neighbors with gossipy expressions, he just called them in.
Hearing the door open, Song’s mom asked from the kitchen, “Are they all here?”
Song’s dad said in a muffled voice, “They’re here. Both of them are here.”
The person in the kitchen then came out, an apron tied around her, having just washed the vegetables.
She took off her apron and handed it over. “Go in and cook.”
Song’s dad also didn’t know how to face this homosexual couple who had come to his house. He took the apron, glared at Song Yugui, and left.
Song Yugui was fuming.
“Mom.”
“Aiya, it’s rare for you to come back. You… does this friend of yours have any dietary restrictions?”
She looked at Shen Xizhi and carefully looked her over. Her first impression was, Beautiful, so beautiful. Like a fairy.
Shen Xizhi quickly shook her head. “Auntie, I don’t have any dietary restrictions. I can eat anything.”
She smiled obediently. The moment she finished speaking, she was exposed. “She doesn’t eat ginger or garlic. Tell Dad to cut them into large pieces.”
Shen Xizhi’s ears turned a faint pink. It was only because she was in front of an elder. If they were alone, she would definitely be angry.
What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be so troublesome?
Hearing her say she didn’t eat, Song’s mom immediately went to the kitchen and told Song’s dad. When she came out again, both of them were carrying things, large and small bags, looking like a lot.
Her main gate was open, and the men in black were constantly sending things inside. The doorway was also filled with the surprised gasps of the neighbors.
Song’s mom: …
“What is this?”
Shen Xizhi looked at Song Yugui nervously. Having just been warned by her wife, Song Yugui finally became honest and said with the same obedient and serious expression as her wife, “This is the first-meeting gift Xizhi has brought for you and Dad.”
Song’s mom was surprised, a smile on her face, her tone gentle. “It’s good enough that you’re here. Why bring so many gifts?”
To be honest, her mom was so good today she almost didn’t recognize her.
Perhaps this is the unique magic of my wife, ahem, ahem.
She was proud in her heart.
Shen Xizhi shook her head, still with an obedient expression. “It’s what I should do. I heard from Yugui that you like gold. I bought you a little gold. You can take a look and see if there are any styles you like.”
After she spoke, she lifted her hand. “Bring them over.”
She had bought a little too much and had even had a few styles sent over from abroad. It would take a long time for her to open them one by one.
Several bodyguards came in from the door at the same time, conveniently closing the door and isolating the gossipy gazes from outside. Then they helped to take out the boxes, open them, and place them on the table. A whole table full of sparkling jewelry made Song’s mom’s mouth drop open.
Her trembling fingers didn’t dare to believe it. “Th-this is all what you bought?”
Shen Xizhi smiled gently and elegantly. “It’s just a small token of my appreciation. It’s nothing. It’s good that you like it.”
Song Yugui went closer to take a look and was once again shocked by her wife’s extravagance.
“Th-this, I can’t take this. It’s too precious. It’s your first day here. I should be the one giving you money.”
Song’s mom quickly turned around and went into the room. Shen Xizhi thought she didn’t like it and looked at the person beside her with apprehension. Song Yugui comforted her. “My mom is going to get you a first-meeting gift. Usually, when you go to your partner’s house for the first time, you have to get a red envelope.”
“Ah…”
Shen Xizhi was bewildered. She had never thought of getting married and naturally didn’t know this custom.
“Anyway, if my mom gives you money in a little while, you can just take it.”
“Oh.”
She replied obediently. In a short while, Song’s mom came out with a thick wallet. It hadn’t been this thick before. She had just gone in and had secretly put a little more in.
Now she was stuffing it all into Shen Xizhi’s bag. “You can have it. You and Yugui are together. Auntie doesn’t have much to give you. Anyway… you’ve been wronged.”
Yesterday, when she didn’t understand this person, she had been secretly thinking about what kind of person her daughter liked, to make her be with her at all costs.
Today, after meeting and talking, she understood. She was beautiful, had an obedient personality, was generous, and had perfect manners. It was Yugui who was climbing high.
That little bit of dissatisfaction had all dissipated in their conversation.
Shen Xizhi quickly said she wasn’t wronged and kept praising Song Yugui, saying that she was capable, a go-getter, and particularly endearing. Who wouldn’t want their own daughter to be praised?
Song’s mom was easily coaxed into a state of joy. She hadn’t wanted to take those jewelry at first, but the other had insisted that they had been specially made for her, and that many of the sizes were hers and only suited her. Only then did she have no choice but to agree to keep them for now.
Only Song’s dad had a dark face and didn’t stop eating.
Shen Xizhi had coaxed her lover’s mother and was already a little relaxed. The corners of her lips curved into a happy, light smile. But then she turned her head and saw that her lover’s father looked unhappy.
She immediately became nervous again.
What’s going on? Does Yugui’s dad not like me?
The young woman was extremely nervous. It was Song Yugui who saw it and lifted her chin. “Xizhi doesn’t know what you like. I heard you usually have a little drink, so she had some sent over from a winery abroad. It just arrived. We can open a bottle in a little while. Oh, and also pig feed. She bought several carts’ worth. It will only arrive tomorrow.”
Song’s dad: !!!
So I’m also included.
The young woman was indeed quite sensible, knowing not to favor one over the other.
His expression finally improved a little, at least not as fierce as before.
But he was still gruff. “Your mom has already cleaned your room. A few relatives are coming tomorrow. You two can get up a little earlier to meet them.”
Shen Xizhi was stunned.
Song Yugui was also stunned. She had thought that this time she had come home, she would have to make a big fuss to get married. She hadn’t expected that her parents had already compromised before she had returned.
She was a little moved.
Shen Xizhi was also the same.
The young woman pressed her lips together. “Thank you, uncle. I also bought uncle a gold chain and some supplements. It’s usually hard for aunt and uncle to take care of Yugui.”
The one she had bought was not that kind of crude, large gold chain, but a more refined, thin chain. But when it had just arrived, she had felt that this thin chain was not suitable for her uncle and hadn’t said anything.
Song’s dad’s expression was complicated. Logically, shouldn’t they be the ones saying this kind of thing?
Others were thanking them for taking care of their own daughter. How strange it sounded.
Before they had met her, they had had a lot of resistance toward this inexplicable daughter-in-law in their hearts. Now that they had met her, it was hard not to like her.
Song’s dad also didn’t say anything. Seeing his daughter insisting on picking out fish bones for her at the dinner table, he just pretended not to see and ate with his head bowed. After the two of them had finished eating, he didn’t forget to remind Shen Xizhi, “If there’s anything you’re missing, just tell Yugui. Don’t be embarrassed.”
Song’s mom nodded and added, “Just treat it as your own home.”
Shen Xizhi held her girlfriend’s hand tightly, pressed her lips together, and obediently nodded in agreement.
I feel like… I’ve only been here for a day, and I’ve already gotten her parents’ approval.
In the future, there will be no obstacles on our path together.
Seeing her holding her, Song Yugui also secretly held her back. The two of them’s ten fingers were intertwined, and their hearts were so happy they couldn’t stand it.
