His predecessor failed

This guilt reached its peak after Grandpa He and He's father came back, because the first thing the two pillars of the He family asked when they got home was whether Su Zhuzhu had been bullied and how her birthday was. He Qiaojin then learned that Su Zhuzhu had celebrated her 18th birthday three days ago. If He's mother and Lin Wu hadn't been there, she would have been alone on such an important day, and no one might have mentioned it. After experiencing so many things at once, the little girl might have gotten emotional and hidden away and cried secretly. At this moment, He Qiaojin truly felt a little distressed and wanted to slap himself. He really did a terrible thing. Even if he didn't want to get married, he should have arranged everything properly instead of using this method. Putting himself in his shoes, he realized that what Lin Wu said was absolutely right. No matter what he suggested, Su Zhuzhu could not refuse him at that time.

Seeing her son's frosted look, He's mother felt secretly happy, "You should let you suffer a little, otherwise you will think you are always right."

Lin Wu helped Aunt Yang heat up the dishes she brought back. Before they were served, Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Xiaoxue arrived. After greeting them from grandpa, uncle and aunt, they went to He's mother. The two guys couldn't stop chattering, and were both asking about Sister Zhuzhu's situation.

Lin Zhiyuan and Lin Xiaoxue also heard from their mother He Xiaoyun that their cousin had secretly broken off the engagement with Sister Zhuzhu, forcing Sister Zhuzhu to go to the countryside. After knowing the news, their aunt and Brother Xiaowu went to H Province to visit Sister Zhuzhu. Originally, they also wanted to go, but He Xiaoyun disagreed on the grounds of safety. Lin Zhiyuan said that there would be no problem since he was a boy, but he was still rejected. He was angry with his family for a few days because of this.

Now that I heard that my aunt was back, I immediately came to inquire about the situation.

When the food was served, the two saw that He Qiaojin's nose was no longer a nose, and his eyes were no longer eyes.

But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the fragrant food. On the table was a large pot of spicy crayfish, a plate of spicy iron snails, a bowl of spicy diced rabbit, a salt-baked chicken, cold-mixed braised pork intestines and pig's trotters, and a large plate of fried vegetables. All of them were large portions. More than half of the food was still in the box, so Aunt Yang put it in the refrigerator to eat slowly, and she would also bring some back for the old man.

After Lin Wu demonstrated how to eat crayfish, everyone started to scramble for it. Grandpa He kept shouting for wine, and the two little ones kept saying it was too spicy while eating voraciously. He Qiaojin had completely forgotten his guilt and ate the crayfish as fast as Lin Wu. While eating, he complained in his heart that Lin Wu was getting such a good deal, as he ate so well in H Province. It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious food. Even her fiancée had tasted it before, and he had only tried it twice in total.

The dinner was eaten as quickly as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, leaving only shrimp shells and snail shells on the table. Everyone leaned on the sofa with red mouths, still savoring the food.

"Grandpa, my cousin has broken off the engagement with Sister Zhuzhu. Why don't you let me take over the engagement? Let Sister Zhuzhu wait for me for a few years and I'll marry her!"

Lin Zhiyuan never stopped saying shocking things and almost made everyone angry.

"What's your business, little brat? This is the marriage contract between the He and Su families, and your surname is Lin!" He's father was almost mad to death. There was a substitute waiting for this marriage.

"Uncle, it was my cousin who first proposed to cancel the engagement. How much harm will it do to Sister Zhuzhu? Our family cannot do such a treacherous thing. Besides, even if my last name is Lin, I am also a descendant of the He family. Why can't I marry Sister Zhuzhu? I have never seen a girl as outstanding as Sister Zhuzhu. My cousin is blind, but I am not. Don't cry when outsiders get the advantage!"

Lin Xiaoxue couldn't help it, "I like Sister Zhuzhu too, brother, come on! I support you!"

"Don't worry!" Lin Zhiyuan raised his chin proudly, "Sister Zhuzhu and I have the same hobbies and life goals. We have agreed to go to college together!"

Listening to the two siblings chattering as if they had decided on the matter, He Qiaojin felt a headache. However, it was indeed he who first proposed to cancel the engagement, so he was in the wrong, and it was no wonder that no one asked for his opinion now.

By this time He Qiaojin also reacted. Although Su Zhuzhu had cooperated with him in breaking off the engagement, the gifts prepared before and the food brought back this time did not include any portion for him. In fact, it was not difficult to see that the girl had resentment in her heart, but she just couldn't express it.

He Qiaojin was shocked by this fact. How could he think that the matter was perfectly resolved at that time? Or did he just think that it was perfectly resolved from his own perspective?

He Qiaojin, who was still reflecting on himself, did not notice the movement in the living room.

He's father and mother like Su Zhuzhu very much. They want to wait and see. Maybe He Qiaojin will come to her senses one day. Otherwise, where can they find such an excellent and easy-to-get-along-with daughter-in-law in the future?

However, Mr. He was somewhat tempted after hearing Lin Zhiyuan's proposal. He Qiaojin had already lost face by breaking off the engagement privately, and also caused the girl to suffer in the countryside. He was already uneasy in his heart. Now his grandson took the initiative to offer to fulfill the engagement on his behalf. If the Su family could agree, it would be a good idea. After all, the He family would never treat Zhuzhu unfairly.

Mr. He was discussing the possibility of this matter with Mr. and Mrs. He. Everyone had different opinions, and the discussion became quite heated.

"Dad, Zhiyuan is not even seventeen this year. It's a little too early to talk about marriage. I don't think it's appropriate." He's mother was the first one to disagree with giving up her son's daughter-in-law.

"Uncle and aunt, I am your nephew. Although I am only seventeen, it will be perfect for me to get married after Sister Zhuzhu and I finish college together. Those girls in our school are so annoying because they are so noisy. I like Sister Zhuzhu like this."

Lin Zhiyuan's raised voice interrupted He Qiaojin's distraction.

"What marriage? Zhiyuan, you are so young, why are you getting married? What are you talking about?"

"Cousin, since you don't like Sister Zhuzhu, my brother is now going to pursue Sister Zhuzhu to continue to fulfill the marriage contract between our two families. I'm waiting for Sister Zhuzhu to become my sister-in-law." "Brother, I support you 100%!" Lin Xiaoxue smiled proudly at He Qiaojin.

"What do you mean? Why did the engagement change after just a few words?"

He Qiaojin wondered if there was something wrong with his health recently as he couldn't react all the time.

"Why, you don't want to get married but you won't let anyone else marry you?"

Old Master He gave He Qiaojin a glare in annoyance.

"They are all my grandsons. If you can't do it, let Zhiyuan come."

He Qiaojin couldn't imagine the scene of Su Zhuzhu and Lin Zhiyuan getting married. It was totally incompatible and impossible.

"What does this little brat know about marriage? He hasn't even graduated yet, and his hair hasn't even fully grown! Grandpa, don't mess around with the couple's marriage, or else something bad will happen again!"

Old Master He swung his cane at her and said, "You are responsible for all that. You refused to marry me when I asked you to, and you were still unwilling to marry my cousin. Do you think you are capable? huh?"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll find a way to deal with it!"

Hearing what He Qiaojin said, He's father and mother looked at each other. Is there a turning point in this matter? Is he going to get it?

"Tell me, what do you think?" He's father spoke as a representative.

"Let's get her back first. We can't let her continue to suffer in the countryside! If she can't stay in Su City, she can stay in Jing City. It won't be a problem for her family to arrange a job for her."

He Qiaojin thought that if he wanted to solve the problem, he must get the person back first.

"Yes, although the girl is not spoiled, she has been spoiled since childhood. You kids have never been to the countryside, so you don't know how bad the environment is and how tough it is." Finally hearing He Qiaojin's words, Grandpa He nodded in agreement.

"Arrange a suitable job for her when she returns, and introduce a few outstanding men to her. If any of them are chosen, our family can adopt Su Zhuzhu as our goddaughter and support her."

He Qiaojin felt that his arrangement was very appropriate for a girl. She would be considered his sister by then, so he could give her more dowry and make her life more comfortable.

With a "bang", a toothpick box hit He Qiaojin accurately, and the toothpicks were scattered all over the floor.

"He Qiaojin, you bastard, you have such a beautiful dream!"

After hitting something, He's mother turned around to look for something, but was pulled by He's father and sat on the sofa.

"Calm down, calm down. Calling him a bastard will get us all in jail. It's not worth it, not worth it!"

Lin Xiaoxue was very tactful and brought He's mother's teacup over and advised her aunt to drink some water to calm down.

Lin Wu, who had been helping in the kitchen, heard the noise and came over.

"Brother Qiao Jin, this is a terrible idea of ​​yours! Not to mention that Zhuzhu refused to return to the city and insisted on following the country's call to build the countryside, your plan to introduce a gay man to Zhuzhu is enough to make people want to beat you up. It doesn't matter if you don't like her, Zhuzhu didn't force herself to marry you, but you can't find a way to marry Zhuzhu just to make yourself feel at ease. Whether Zhuzhu wants to get married and who she wants to marry is up to her to decide!"

Lin Wu, who is usually good-tempered, got angry. He really felt that Brother Qiao Jin was too self-righteous.

"That's not what I meant. I'm not forcing Su Zhuzhu to get married. I just want to try my best to arrange a good life for her. Isn't that a good thing for a lesbian?"

“It’s not a good thing if Zhuzhu doesn’t like you. You have never respected her from the beginning to the end!

"Okay, okay, I was wrong! I admit it! But what do you mean by that girl not wanting to go back to the city?"

He Qiaojin couldn't understand why Su Zhuzhu was unwilling to return to the city. Aren't female comrades all delicate and unable to endure hardship?

"You little brat, Zhuzhu is not an ordinary girl. With her own efforts, she is now a village health worker. She doesn't have to work in the fields every day. She only works with everyone during the busy farming season. She treats people and does things in a proper manner. Zhuzhu said she wants to settle down in the countryside, but you have already asked for a breakup. Even if Zhuzhu wants to go back to the city, she will not accept our arrangement."

He Qiaojin was just about to say that he would arrange it secretly without letting Su Zhuzhu know, but he was a little dizzy after hearing what He's mother said next.

"Zhuzhu is unwilling to accept our arrangement to return to the city. If she stays in the countryside all the time, she will have to get married and have children in the countryside when she gets older, which will really delay her whole life."

Mr. He nodded. His daughter-in-law's analysis was correct. The current policy was still very tight. It was too unlikely for the girl to return to the city by her own efforts. There were only two ways. One was to arrange a job in the city, and the other was to return to the city by marrying someone. The first one Su Zhuzhu disagreed, and the second one He Qiaojin was unwilling. Alas, two little ancestors!

He Qiaojin is now overwhelmed by lawsuits. This won't work, and that won't work. It's more troublesome than fighting a war. He needs to think about it carefully.

"Okay, got it. I'll find a solution. I was the one who exposed this matter, so I'll take responsibility."
