In the evening of autumn, the leaves were falling randomly in the autumn wind! Shen Lin returned to the hardware machinery factory on his bicycle, carrying a little rooster he bought in Liyuan Village.
The little rooster has been packed away, and all Shen Lin has to do is to go home and stew it in a pot.
After greeting the neighbors, Shen Lin opened the door of his home and found that not only Lu Xiaorong was at home, but there was also an uninvited guest.
The TV was on and a sweet song was playing, but Lu Xiaohai, who had always liked this song, was sitting on the stool in a daze, looking distracted.
"What's wrong?" Shen Lin looked at Lu Xiaorong, who was sitting on a stool and eating an apple, and asked with concern.
Shen Lin had always taken great care of Lu Xiaohai, his brother-in-law. At this time, looking at Lu Xiaohai, who was usually laughing and joking, he looked melancholy, knowing that something must have happened to this boy.
"What else can he do? His family didn't agree with the girlfriend he had." Lu Xiaorong put down the apple in his hand and said, "I had a big fight with my mother when I got home, and she came to hide here. "
At this time, Lu Xiaohai weakly greeted Shen Lin: "Brother-in-law, can you help me?"
If it were other people's affairs, Shen Lin, who was so busy right now, really didn't have time to care about it. But Lu Xiaohai was not an ordinary person. He was Lu Xiaorong's younger brother. Not to mention that Lu Xiaohai usually treated him well. Looking at Lu Xiaorong's face, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
"Xiao Hai, please tell me the situation. As long as I can help you, your brother-in-law, I will definitely help you."
When Shen Lin said this, he suddenly thought of how he saw Lu Xiaohai dating someone a few days ago, and immediately said with a smile: "Is your girlfriend the girl we met that day?"
"Yes, that's her." Lu Xiaohai scratched his head and said, "Her second aunt introduced her to someone who is a college student from the factory."
"She didn't want to, so she asked our family to propose marriage. I finally persuaded my mother, but when Uncle Chunlei went to his house with the gifts, his family asked him to come out."
When Lu Xiaohai said this, he said with frustration in his voice: "His father said that no matter what, he would not marry his daughter to me."
Shen Lin picked up a glass of cold water and drank it, while smiling and saying: "In this case, why did you quarrel with our mother?"
Although Shen Lin didn't like Chen Hongying, she was Lu Xiaorong's biological mother after all, so in front of Lu Xiaohai, he still gave his mother-in-law an honorific title.
Lu Xiaohai didn't speak, just lowered his head,
Lu Xiaorong said: "It's not like you don't know about our mother's temper. She told Lu Xiaohai to break up with the girl, but Lu Xiaohai didn't agree, and the two of them started to quarrel."
Looking at a picture of Lu Xiaohai staring at him eagerly, Shen Lin came to the kitchen with the packed chicken and said: "Xiaohai, tell me about the situation at your girlfriend's house. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we fight without danger."
Seeing that Shen Lin was willing to help him, Lu Xiaohai felt as if he had found a life-saving straw. He didn't want to break up with his girlfriend just like that. Shen Lin could be said to be his last hope now.
"Brother-in-law, Xiaoyu's family is made up of five people. In addition to her father and mother, there is also an elder brother and a younger brother."
Lu Xiaohai clapped his fingers and said: "His father works in a non-staple food company, and he seems to be a small supervisor, while her mother works in a textile factory. His eldest brother also joined the non-staple food company. He heard that he is temporary like me, so he is waiting to pick her up. Her brother is in dad’s class.”
"Xiaoyu is a regular worker in the textile factory."
Speaking of official work, Lu Xiaohai's voice was full of dejection.
Although he also works, he is similar to Guangzi and others, and is also a temporary worker. In the past two years, Chen Hongying has tried her best to turn Lu Xiaohai into a regular worker, but she has never had the chance.
Now, Chen Hongying has put her hope in this matter on Shen Lin's father, Shen Xingye.
While Shen Lin was busy, he listened to Lu Xiaohai's introduction. Although Lu Xiaohai only introduced the general situation, Shen Lin basically understood the crux of the matter as soon as he heard it.
Both parents of Lu Xiaohai's partner work, which shows that her girlfriend's family background is very good, and with two sons and a daughter, she is naturally more pampered towards her daughter, and hopes that her daughter can find a good family.
Not to mention that Lu Xiaohai was a temporary worker and was quite different from other college students, but just because of her mother-in-law's name, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to do it.
As thoughts flashed one by one, Shen Lin already had an idea, but before that, he still had some questions to ask Lu Xiaohai.
While adding oil to the hot pot, Shen Lin skillfully threw the onions, ginger, and garlic into the pot and sauteed until fragrant. He said to Lu Xiaohai, "Xiaohai, let's make sure first. Is this girl really willing to live with you?"
"Brother-in-law, you can doubt everything, but you can't doubt my feelings for Xiaoyu." Lu Xiaohai suddenly became anxious and said, "Xiaoyu said that she will never marry anyone but me in her life."
"Xiaoyu and I have discussed it. If her parents insist on not agreeing, the two of us will go get the marriage certificate first."
Shen Lin looked at the nervous Lu Xiaohai, pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I'll talk to you about this later."
Although Lu Xiaohai trusted Shen Lin as his brother-in-law, Shen Lin's words made him feel a little unreliable.
He came to ask Shen Lin to find a solution, but he didn't expect that his brother-in-law would just help him. Will this talk be useful?
His parents found a matchmaker, but they were still kicked out. Not only did they not ask for the bride price, they also refused to allow him to meet Xiaoyu.
Shen Lin's light talk didn't sound like he was solving the problem.
"Brother-in-law, this is related to my lifelong happiness, you must help me!" Lu Xiaohai said this, and said to Lu Xiaorong who was helping Shen Lin pick vegetables: "Sister, you must let me Brother-in-law, please help me!"
Lu Xiaorong looked at the nervous Lu Xiaohai and said helplessly to Shen Lin: "Shen Lin, is this useful?"
Shen Lin smiled and said: "If you want to talk about this kind of thing, most people just talk about it, which is of course not of much use, but I am different. I think if I say it, their family will definitely agree."
"You can just brag here." Lu Xiaorong said angrily, then looked at Lu Xiaohai and said: "Lu Xiaohai, since your brother-in-law promised to help you, just wait honestly. If it doesn't work, let's go back to Lu Xiaohai." Think of other ways."
Although Lu Xiaohai felt that his brother-in-law's method was unreliable, he had no other choice but to agree quietly.
Shen Lin cooks very quickly. In just over twenty minutes, a large plate of fragrant chicken was already served on the table by Shen Lin.
Although Lu Xiaohai had something on his mind, he couldn't help but twitch his index finger when he smelled the fragrant chicken. Just when they were about to pull out the table to eat, Chen Hongying's voice came from outside the door.
