Today, Manager Wang reminded her that if she wanted to continue staying in the steel factory’s family area and find a good husband, she must have a good reputation.
Without a good reputation, even with her looks, those who come to propose in the future won’t come from good families; they would just be men looking at her face.
And men who only care about looks are lustful and not good men.
Yuan Chun agreed with Manager Wang’s words. Having traveled through so many small worlds, accumulating hundreds of years, she could easily see through men in this world.
Men with bad character care only for looks and only see a woman’s face.
No matter how virtuous or capable a woman is, those lustful men don’t care; they only look at the face.
If a woman is very virtuous and capable but ugly, men with bad character would not want to marry her.
Yet, if a woman is beautiful but not virtuous, many men would still seek her.
Of course, those are men with bad character who care only for looks and not for reputation.
Meanwhile, men of good character and families with good character value a girl’s reputation, character, virtue, and capability, not her looks.
So, if she wants to marry the fool, she must have a good reputation. Without it, there’s no telling if the Chen Family would even propose.
If she has a bad reputation and poor character, and even hits her sister-in-law, how could the Chen Family trust her to marry the fool?
So, if she wants to marry the fool smoothly, she needs to build a good relationship with her sister-in-law.
Oh...
Yuan Chun sighed inwardly, feeling quite depressed.
She had just fallen out and hit her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law’s mother, and now she had to reconcile.
"Yuan Chun, your cooking is really good. I could eat two bowls of rice," Mrs. Zhao said as she gobbled down the dishes and rice, splattering saliva everywhere.
Yuan Chun quickly moved the saliva-splattered dishes into a bowl and then stepped back to keep some distance from her.
Mrs. Zhao smiled embarrassedly, "I haven’t had such delicious mushroom and scrambled eggs in a long time, dear sister-in-law, please don’t mind this old lady."
"I don’t mind, Granny Da Bao, eat as much as you like, just remember to leave some for my sister-in-law."
Zhao Dongxiu, who was nursing her child in the room, snorted disdainfully upon hearing Yuan Chun’s words.
Once Yuan Chun had eaten enough, she pushed away her bowl and chopsticks and headed out, "Granny Da Bao, I’m going out for a walk to help the food settle."
Tonight, there was another scene with the jerk.
"Go on, go on, I’ll leave the door open for you," Mrs. Zhao said in a cheerful mood.
...
Near the grove, after waiting for quite a while, Guo Changming finally arrived late.
Yuan Chun, looking angry, said, "Guo Changming, why are you so late? I got bitten by mosquitoes all over. You should have told me if you weren’t coming in time, so I wouldn’t have come."
"Yuan Chun, today my master invited me to his place for dinner. I had a bit to drink, which delayed me. Please don’t be mad," Guo Changming quickly placated her.
Yuan Chun chuckled sarcastically, "What were you eating, was it that your master was introducing you to someone?"
Guo Changming looked a bit guilty, "No, no, don’t guess randomly. My master saw that I was short on money recently and wasn’t eating well, so he specially bought a fish for me to eat with him."
Yuan Chun snapped angrily, "Guo Changming, what do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for asking you to repay the money?"
Tearing up, Yuan Chun looked at him, "Guo Changming, do you have any conscience? The pocket money I saved up by being frugal was all lent to you for buying meat and alcohol, and I never complained. Now that I’m asking you to repay, you’re unhappy. Guo Changming, how could you bully me like this? Anyone who borrows money must repay it. How is it my fault for asking you back? So, I lend money to be treated as an enemy, is that it?"
