Xu's mother walked on her little feet and went to the labor union again, hoping to ask Director Niu about the situation.
When Director Niu heard that it was Xu Yin's old lady who couldn't bear it, he quickly asked his secretary to find a reason to go back. He didn't even want to see her.
Xu's mother had no choice but to ask someone to find out about her eldest daughter.
The triplets have to be taken care of by someone, so how can they be taken care of by the two elders all the time? The eldest daughter-in-law should use this as an excuse to not support her and her husband until they die.
Xu's mother was concerned about this matter, so she went to the city to inquire when she had time. Finally, she found out about her eldest daughter - she was working as a nanny for a family in the workers' compound of the steel factory.
She came to the door excitedly.
"Tui'er! What are you going to do with my three grandsons? Are you just going to leave them to me and your father to raise? Aren't you trying to harm us?"
Xu Cui was so angry that she fell down, but because her employer was at home, yelling would be a bad impression, so she had to hold back her anger and coax her mother in a good voice:
"Mom, what are you talking about! How can I, as a daughter, harm you? I can't help it! Do you think it's easy to be a nanny? You have to be quick and active, and you have to give people to others every day.
Accompany Smiley Face, but if you don’t do this job, where will you get the money to raise the children? Do you want me to go home and take care of the children, and then you and my father will raise the four of us?"
Xu's mother choked and thought, "How can I bear this!"
The little grain farm at home would not be enough to feed the two of them, let alone four of them.
Seeing that her mother had been persuaded, Xu Cui took out a few cents from her trouser pocket and stuffed them into Xu's mother's hand: "Mom, this is the salary I saved. I will cut off a few taels of meat for you and my father to make up for it."
Don’t worry, I will go home to visit you and my dad more often in the future. The triplets will trouble you, mother, so you need to worry more. After all, it’s my little sister’s fault. If she were at home, how easy would it be to solve this problem?”
Mentioning her youngest daughter, Xu's mother was also furious: "Your father and I both found out about her whereabouts a few years ago, and the director of the labor union also wrote to her in front of us asking her to come back, but this girl is dead now.
If she doesn't go home yet, I think her heart has gone wild and she has no hope."
"How could my little sister do this!" Xu Cui added fuel to the fire, "They say that her parents are not far away, but she has traveled so far and hasn't been home for a year. She is not married yet, it's like water being thrown away.
, it will be great when you get married and have your own family!"
Finally, with a roll of her eyes, she gave Xu's mother an idea: "Mom, my little sister is not young anymore. Didn't the family originally plan to find a date for her this year? In my opinion, we might as well settle on a family and get married directly.
It would be better to choose one that is closer to our home. After marriage, you can often go back to your parents' home to help, which is better than being away from home all year round. After accepting the betrothal gift, you and my father will have more money."
When Xu's mother heard this, her heart moved.
That's right! Anyway, it's no different from getting married now. It's better to listen to the eldest daughter, find a family for the younger daughter, and marry her directly. Just like the eldest daughter said, choose someone from the same village, close to her natal family, and get married.
You can also come back from time to time to help...
"Xiao Cui? Who are you chatting with outside?"
A coughing question came from the hostess in the room.
Xu Cui, who was standing in the entrance hall, quickly pushed Xu's mother out and walked a few steps: "Mom, you go back first! I'm busy here! My wife's health is getting worse day by day, I have to keep an eye on my little sister's affairs.
, you and my father can just watch and make up their minds. Parents have the right to make the decision regarding their children’s life-long matters. If she dares not to listen, that would be treason!"
After saying that, Xu Cui turned around and went into the house to wait on the mistress who was running out of time.
Xu's mother thought it made sense, so she came and left happily, and went home to discuss the marriage of her youngest daughter with the old man.
Xu Wenfa has thought of this incident from time to time since he helped his cousin investigate the situation of the Xu family years ago.
Thinking of my cousin's occupation, I wondered if the Xu family in Wanxing Village might be linked to spies? That's why my cousin asked him to help with the investigation?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this possibility was very high, so my concern for the Xu family never diminished.
Whenever I have a public holiday, I ride my bicycle and go around Wanxing Village.
I met a postman on the road and took the initiative to deliver letters to Wanxing Village:
"Master, are you going to Wanxing Village? I happen to be going there, so I'll take it for you, which will save you a special trip."
"That's a good feeling!"
These days it is normal for acquaintances to help carry messages.
The postman sometimes had to travel to several villages. If someone helped him, he would have to go to one less village. I happily gave him the letter.
This made Xu Wenfa's trip to Wanxing Village even more justified.
But the villagers didn't know that. Several times they thought he was a temporary worker at the post office.
When temporary workers first join the unit, they may not necessarily have uniforms to wear immediately, but they may also have special green-painted bicycles to ride on.
From being unfamiliar at first to becoming familiar with him later, the villagers would take the initiative to say hello when they saw him.
"Young man, are you here to deliver a letter again? It seems like every time I see you, it's Sunday!"
Xu Wenfa had already thought of his words: "At other times, I will go somewhere else to deliver the letter."
"No wonder."
In this way, taking advantage of the convenience of delivering letters, Xu Wenfa came and went freely in Wanxing Village, taking the opportunity to investigate the Xu family from top to bottom, and even why Xu Cui divorced her ex-husband and hooked up with her ex-husband's triplets.
I knew exactly where the little widow lived... I touched it all.
Recently I discovered that Mother Xu was looking for a home for her little daughter who was working in Beiguan. She was talking to the matchmaker while walking, and she didn't guard against outsiders. Xu Wenfa listened to her.
He was puzzled: The person involved was not at home, and he decided to marry her without even asking. Is this too hasty? Is there any secret in this that cannot be disclosed to outsiders?
With such suspicion, he wrote a letter to his cousin in Beiguan, reporting in detail the current situation of the Xu family.
On this day, Cheng Shaojin came back from training and received a letter from his cousin. He opened it and read a few lines, and he felt a little bit nervous. Why is this kid stalking the Xu family when he has nothing to do? Is he addicted to investigating?
But as he looked at it, his handsome eyebrows furrowed.
Is Xu Yin a biological child of the Xu family? Why does she look so picked up?
The purpose of arranging a marriage for her without asking her opinion was not to worry that she would not be able to get married in a few years, but to find her a local so that she could often return to her parents' home to help after marriage. Combined with the news I heard last time
, why do you need to ask for help?
Cheng Shaojin couldn't sit still when he thought that his savior was being planned by his family to jump into a fire pit.
But what can he do to help?
It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, not to mention that he is not an upright official, so no matter how he helps, it is unfair to name him.
Outside the house, comrades who were too tired to rest on the steps were making jokes:
"Gangzi, I heard that you went back to visit your relatives during the Chinese New Year, and your family arranged a blind date?"
"I heard that too. Is the blind date the one you mentioned before?"
"Which one?"
"That's it, she saved you when you were drowning when you were a child. She promised you her life for saving your life. Are you two a couple? Hehehehe..."
Hearing this sentence, Cheng Shaojin's starry eyes suddenly lit up.
