The cute educated youth accidentally flirted with the black-bellied vixen
Chapter 74 Starting a Family and Starting a Business
It would be better to let her curse a few times, this way Xiong Mei won’t care, and the two daughters-in-law will feel comfortable and be good people.
Older people always think of every aspect for their children.
"Have you eaten yet, Gu Zhiqing? If not, come and eat something with us. There isn't much food, though."
Having said that, Zhang Lan was about to pull the person into the house. Gu Wan was embarrassed and wanted to ask Xiong Mei for help. As a socially anxious person, she really couldn't stand other people's enthusiasm!
"No need, Auntie, I've already eaten."
But her explanation was the same as no explanation, and Zhang Lan thought she was just embarrassed.
"Don't be polite with your aunt. It's just that there's nothing good at home. Don't mind it." As she said this, she took Gu Wan's hand and led her home.
The children in the house had all gone out to wait for the people showing the movie. The movie hadn't started yet and people should have just finished their meals by this time.
But the children found the equipment very interesting even if they looked at it from a distance.
Fortunately, all the children went out, otherwise Gu Wan would have been surrounded by a group of little kids.
Leading the person into the main room, Xiong Mei was holding a vegetable cover in one hand and eating food from a bowl with the other. When she saw Gu Wan, she chuckled at her twice.
"Mom, there are guests at home~"
At the door of the room, Zhang Xiaohua was standing there holding someone. Although he was talking to Zhang Lan, his eyes were looking Gu Wan carefully from head to toe.
"Why did you bring the person out again? Didn't Doctor Liu say that children shouldn't be exposed to the wind?" Zhang Lan immediately let go of Gu Wan's hand, opened her arms with a distressed look on her face, and wanted to hug the child in her arms.
Zhang Xiaohua then withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Lan.
"The child missed his grandmother and started to make a fuss when he saw her go out."
How could a child who was only a few months old look for someone? It was just an excuse she made up on purpose.
But Zhang Lan really liked to hear her words.
"Oh, my dear grandson, do you want grandma to hug you? Grandma is coming right here." Zhang Lan took the child from Zhang Xiaohua's hands.
A face full of wrinkles from smiling.
After Zhang Xiaohua let go of the child, she pulled up her clothes and tucked the hair behind her ears. She then asked Gu Wan who was standing at the door of the main hall:
"Hey, where did this girl come from? She's so pretty. Is she the wife that mom is planning to marry for Lao Liu?"
She asked casually, pretending to be dumb, which made Zhang Lan's eyes light up, but she soon returned to normal. While coaxing the child in her arms, she laughed and scolded Zhang Xiaohua.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is Gu Zhiqing, your sister brought him here to watch a movie."
The family has indeed been arranging a marriage for the sixth son of the Xiong family recently. In the past, they gave birth to too many sons, and they were indeed very proud when they were young.
But when it came time to help them get married and start a family, it was almost as if the two elders of the Xiong family had their lives taken away.
There is no place to make money these days, we can only depend on luck for our living.
Although there are many men in the family and they do a lot of work, they also eat a lot, so the family really doesn't save any money.
Especially in recent years, after the eldest, second and fourth sons were arranged to marry.
The eldest and second eldest families gave birth to many children in succession, and all these children cost money, so the family gradually began to become short of money.
When it came time to find a wife for the sixth child, there wasn't even an empty room in the house, let alone money, and the food was barely enough to feed the dozen or so people in the family.
Such a poor family, with so many brothers and sisters-in-law, which girl would choose to marry into such a family?
The sixth son of the Xiong family has been delayed until the age of 23 this year and still has not gotten married, but he has to get married. These days, Zhang Lan has begun to set her sights on other villages farther away.
He even threatened to give a dowry of 30 yuan and 200 kilograms of food.
Not to mention thirty, just two hundred kilograms of food is a lot. It’s not a big deal for the brothers in the family who got married earlier.
But the sisters-in-law were not happy. Take the eldest sister-in-law for example. When she got married, she was only given two dollars and a bag of sweet potatoes.
Although the second one is better than the first one, it only costs five dollars and a piece of cloth.
They brought these few things when they got married, but now it's the sixth child's turn to give out so many things. Who would be happy about that?
Moreover, both old people are alive now, and the family has not been divided, which means that each family will have a share of the money that is taken out.
Even if the other families had complaints, they didn't dare to say anything.
It’s just because their mother-in-law gave birth to six or five boys in her lifetime, so when it’s their turn, there will be a row of girls in the family.
Although Zhang Lan likes girls, these days if she doesn't have a boy, she will be criticized and laughed at when she goes out.
Over the years, except for Xiong Mei, the only girl who got married, the other four brothers who had married had more than a dozen girls, but not a single boy.
So even if they are dissatisfied, they dare not make a fuss because they are too angry to give birth to a boy.
But the bad thing was that the second daughter got pregnant again last year. Everyone thought it might be another girl. Nowadays, everyone has to have a baby. If you get pregnant, you have to give birth.
No one took it seriously.
As a result, when the baby was born that day, it turned out to be a boy. The two old people in the Xiong family were very happy and they finally felt proud.
I can finally hold my head up high in the village.
Because Zhang Xiaohua gave birth to a boy, he thought he was the great hero of the entire Xiong family, so he started to cheat and be lazy. The two old people in the family were happy to turn a blind eye.
Others were even more afraid to speak up, which caused Zhang Xiaohua, who had been relatively honest before, to become even more rampant.
Even after she gave birth to a child, she thought that the other families would have to rely on her son, and that everything in the Xiong family would belong to her son in the future.
So after Zhang Lan repeatedly raised the bride price in order to help Lao Liu get married, she was the only one who dared to make a fuss.
But the two old people had their own insistence on this matter. No matter how Zhang Xiaohua made a fuss, neither of them gave in. In the end, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice.
He could only secretly use some tricks on the person who introduced Lao Liu to someone else.
A lot of people have come to her house recently, and many of them have been persuaded to leave by her, openly or secretly, but the two old people are unaware of this.
They all thought that the other party didn't like her sixth son. After all, this kind of thing happened frequently so they didn't think about it too much.
When Zhang Xiaohua heard the voice just now, she thought that Zhang Lan had asked the matchmaker to bring someone over to see her again, so she immediately brought the person out to see.
But what she didn't know was that Zhang Lan had originally not had any ideas, but after she said that, Zhang Lan actually had some thoughts in mind.
But he also knew that those educated youth had high standards, so he did not say it immediately, but changed the subject.
I plan to ask my daughter about the situation later. Since he can follow my daughter to this village, they must have a good relationship.
