BTTS 480




 Chapter 480. Misunderstanding


Hu Zi slightly couldn't sleep that night.

Because for this young man, the impact of today's matter wasn't small. Wasn't the spotlight on Qiang Zi's case?

How did it turn to him out of nowhere?

Of course he wasn't unhappy. On the contrary, he was delighted. Although he was feeling a bit shy about getting matched, he was quite familiar with Chen Shan Shan.

It was just that he never considered it before and interacted as friends. He didn't dare think about marrying the other party someone. After all, he was a country boy with a rural household registration. So better not make a fool of oneself.

So he didn't think about it from beginning to end.

But he didn't expect his uncle to privately talk about this matter to him tonight. He endured his excitement and went to find and ask his grandma.

His grandma also gave a very clear confirmation.

And because of this, Hu Zi couldn't sleep now. To put it simply, happiness came too suddenly and slightly couldn't handle it.

"Brother, what are you doing? Still not sleeping? What time is it?" Just when Gang Zi went to the bathroom and noticed he wasn't asleep yet.

The two brothers were camping on the floor in the living room. There was a fan blowing, making it comfortable.

As for Zhou Gui Lai and Zhou Xuan, they slept in the room. They were also laying on the floor in the room. They didn't want to go up on the bed as it wasn't as cool as the ground.

Hu Zi said: "It's nothing. Go to sleep."

Gang Zi and the others didn't even know about this. So he left him be after hearing this.

Hu Zi got up early the next day. He went to the old Chen Family's side and wandered around. Chen Shan Shan got up very early. Although she had work, she also did chores at home.

She got up early in the morning to cook. When she came out to pour water, she saw Hu Zi.

It was unknown what she was thinking and her face blushed. Still, Chen Shan Shan glanced at Hu Zi and walked over: "Why did you come over?"

"I just... just came out and walk around." Hu Zi stammered.

Chen Shan Shan was originally nervous and feeling shy but when she saw that he was more embarrassed than herself, she felt more relieved. She glanced at him and said, "Do you know about adults pairing us."

"En, my uncle told me." Although Hu Zi's face was blushing, he still knew that it wasn't easy to get a good girl from the capital to become his wife. So at this time, he looked at Chen Shan Shan eagerly. .

"Then what's with your attitude?" Chen Shan Shan flushed at his straightforwardness and turn her face away.

"I don't have much abilities, but if you are willing to marry and become my wife, I will definitely dote you for the rest of my life. I'm not registered in the capital, but my uncle said that as long as I work hard, I can transfer the household registration to the capital once I save the money in the future. Shan Shan, if you are willing to marry me, I...I, Huang Hu, will be good to you for a lifetime and will work hard to let you live a good life!" Hu Zi vowed with a red face.

These words thought out by him last night when he couldn't sleep all night. It wasn't said just to coax the young girl. He really thought so, so naturally he stated this.

Chen Shan Shan was completely red, peeked at him, and said, "Idiot."

When she about to respond, Hu Zi became too anxious and said, "Shan Shan, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

"Not willing." Chen Shan Shan gave him an angry expression and blushingly ran back.

Hu Zi was struck by lightning. When he returned, he looked dispirited.

However, he still brought buns and fried dough sticks from his uncle (Da Lin) and brought it back to his aunt as her breakfast.

Lin Qing He got up early because there were more classes today. Seeing that he came back, she avoided Zhou Gui Lai and the other who were brushing their teeth outside and asked in a low voice, "Although I heard your uncle mentioned it, Aunt still has to ask. What is your attitude towards Shan Shan?"

Hu Zi wanted to cry: "Aunt, naturally I'm delighted. But Shan Shan isn't. Don't blame her though. It's normal that she won't."

After all, he was a country boy and had nothing. It was normal for a girl to be unwilling to match with him.

Still, Hu Zi was very sad. After last night of psychological preparation, he basically treated Chen Shan Shan as his girlfriend.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shan Shan wasn't willing.

"Huh?" Lin Qing He was shocked, Chen Shan Shan wasn't? How could this be possible? If she wasn't happy to, why would Aunt Ma bring it up?

"I just went over that and encountered Shan Shan. She said she wasn't willing." Hu Zi said sadly.

Lin Qing He was really taken aback, Chen Shan Shan wasn't willing?

Lin Qing He sought Aunt Ma before she had breakfast. Aunt Ma smilingly beckoned, "Teacher Lin, come. Let's eat together." 
Her family was in the middle of their meal.

"Aunt Ma, let's step out a bit and discuss something." Lin Qing He said. This matter must be said carefully, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Aunt Ma came out.

"Auntie, it's about pairing Hu Zi and Shan Shan. Did old Chen family agree to it?" Lin Qing He went straight to the point.

"Agree. They're not in a rush and want to let the young ones date by themselves. Just like Wang Yuan and Er Ni. When the time is about right, they can discuss marriage. They're both still young." Aunt Ma jollily responded.

"Agree?" Lin Qing He was perplexed: "Just now, Hu Zi went over to met Shan Shan and Shan Shan said she wasn't willing."

"Huh?" Aunt Ma got a fright: " There's such matter? How could this be possible? Old Chen family asked me to reveal the foundation first."

She only brought it up because old Madam Xu's request. Now old Chen Family's Chen Shan Shan wasn't happy to date him?

What was this called?

"No, this can't do. I have to ask clearly. They can't do this!" Aunt Ma can't eat anymore. Wasn't this putting people on the spot.

She went to find old Madam Xu. Once old Madam Xu heard of it, she asked her granddaughter.

Chen Shan Shan was taken aback. When did she say she was unwilling? Then she remembered and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Hu Zi, that idiot. Can't he tell that she was joking.

"Hu Zi, that idiot." Chen Shan Shan blushed and replied to old Madam Xu.

"Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Gave me a scare." Aunt Ma took in her reaction and how could she not understand. The girl was being shy and deliberately said she wasn't. Hu Zi didn't think so much and thought she was really unwilling.

"Hu Zi is a honest lad. He thought you didn't like him and didn't eat breakfast. I saw he was like he lost his soul." Aunt Ma amusedly said.

"It's better to let him eat something. Such a big guy, not eating won't do." Chen Shan Shan said.

"Heart aching for him already?" Aunt Ma joked: "Alright, I tell Hu Zi to have a good meal when I go back."

  1. Thanks for the chapter, but I've been meaning to ask: why is the capital household registration so important? It seems like they can live and work in the capital without it, so what extra benefits does it provide that makes it such a big deal? Anyone know? Thanks.

    1. I'm not sure but it seems like without the household registration, you can't buy a house to settle down in the specific area. You can probably rent a place but that's not a permanent solution cause the rent keeps increasing.

    2. You definitely need it to send your kids to school and I imagine some other things. Owning property, paying taxes, register marriage. I remember one LN where the MC had moved to another city, but was considered lucky because she could keep her capital household registration. This one was set in modern times and her family was well off

    3. Idk about China, but in my country, it's related to Tax. Our taxes are remitted to wherever City we are registered, but in turn, of course also the benefits/scholarships/grants, if ever you need, will come from that City or where your parents are registered.

  2. Well, if what I know from the internet is correct, if you don't have city registration (where there still classes that differentiate them) , you won't be a able to enjoy any public facility such as healthcare and education in the said city, even though you worked in it. And if you don't have city registration, you will still regarded as peasant by the state (and I'm not sure what that means). Anyway that's the gist of it

  4. Hahaha There was no Tsundere in Chinese culture and even if there was any, people was unfamiliar with it until the 2000s. It was not weird that honest lad like Hu Zi would misunderstand that, he was not familiar handling with woman after all
