Listening to Dongmei constantly praising the sons of the Su family, Wang Jinzhi quickly asked: "How old is the Su Xiaomeng you are talking about? How many brothers are there in the family?"
"There are five brothers. He is the youngest. He is twenty-five this year. His third brother is very powerful. He is a college student and works as an engineer at the Jinghai City Machinery Factory."
"Oh, are you talking about the Su Changzhu family?" Wang Jinzhi suddenly realized.
Xu Dongmei was surprised, "Mom, do you know Su Xiaomeng's father?"
"Four years ago, his family found a matchmaker to introduce his fourth son to a daughter-in-law. The matchmaker even approached me, but your sister didn't want to meet her."
"Su Siyong? He's not good. My sister doesn't like him. He has a strong body, but his face looks too fierce. He's not as good-looking as his fifth brother."
Wang Jinzhi sighed, "Hey, it's a pity that Su Xiaomeng is too young. He is five years younger than your sister. I'm afraid he won't want to marry your sister."
Xu Chuntao originally had no idea about Su Xiaomeng, but now she frowned after hearing what her mother said, "Mom, what do you mean? Do you think he doesn't like me?"
"Chun Tao, mom said, you are indeed a bit older now, and it is not easy to have a baby."
"People don't get married to have children. Having children is for reproduction. It's something that lower animals can do. People are not animals!"
With longing in her eyes, Xu Chuntao looked at the sky in the distance and continued to say with emotion: "Marriage is for love, and only those who love each other can be united."
Wang Jinzhi and her daughter Xu Dongmei looked at each other with helpless expressions.
What Wang Jinzhi regretted most was that he asked Chuntao to study and learn calligraphy, and spent all his savings to buy her those Soviet novels, which made her daydream about love all day long, which made people crazy.
You don’t even have enough to eat, but you still have love. Who can you live with in this life?
The important thing is to find an honest and reliable man who can work and make money. Appearance is not important at all...
Wang Jinzhi often said these words to his eldest daughter, but she didn't listen at all.
"If I marry someone I don't like, I would rather die immediately!" Xu Chuntao said this several times.
Her parents were really afraid that she would be foolish and seek death, so they no longer forced her to go on a blind date and get married in the past two years.
"Mom, sister, she is so beautiful. She looks younger than me. I bet that when Su Xiaomeng saw her, his eyes would go straight and he would be unable to walk." Xu Dongmei said firmly.
When it comes to her eldest daughter's appearance, Wang Jinzhi is quite confident, "That's right! Among the villages around us, whose girl is as good-looking as your sister?"
The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and then Xu Dongmei remembered that Sun Haiyan had brought people to the Su family to cause trouble, and hurriedly said that she would go to the village chief to stop the fight in Qishui Village.
As she said this, she was about to run out the door, but her mother grabbed her wrist, "Then the Sun family is going to find trouble with the Su family. What's the use of asking the village chief? Can the village chief stop it?"
"What should we do?"
"What can we do? Our family has nothing to do with the Su family now. You go and get involved. If word spreads, I don't know what will happen."
Wang Jinzhi pulled his youngest daughter to him and whispered, "If the Su family and the Sun family really became enemies, I wouldn't dare marry your sister to the Su family."
"Mom, what you say is too outrageous..."
"It's not that I'm snobbish. The Su family has too many sons and is already poor. If the Sun family makes trouble all day long, life will be even more miserable. If I marry your sister, won't I make her jump into a pit of fire?
"
When Xu Dongmei heard what her mother said, she thought her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she nodded, "That's right."
"After a while, I will make sure that the Sun family will not go to the Su family to cause trouble again, and then I will find a way to send someone to the Su family to marry your sister..."
Before Wang Jinzhi finished speaking, her eldest daughter immediately said angrily: "You don't need to tell me. I will go see what Su Xiaomeng looks like in a few days. If I like it, I will tell him myself. There is no need to hire a matchmaker."
"Oh, how can a young girl who has not left the government say such a thing herself?"
"I've decided on this matter!" After saying this, Xu Chuntao turned around and walked back to the room, closing the door forcefully.
Xu Dongmei was used to her sister's personality and didn't think there was any problem. She bent down to help her mother sift corn together, "Mom, please stop squatting. I will help you finish the work before going back."
"Dongmei, if only your sister was half as sensible as you, I wouldn't have to worry about it." Wang Jinzhi said, standing up and beating his back.
"How can I be the same as my sister? I am rough and not as beautiful as her."
Wang Jinzhi's tone was filled with guilt, "Hey, your sister was supposed to be born into a wealthy family, but unfortunately she was born into the wrong child. It's her parents who are sorry for her."
Her eldest daughter-in-law and her second daughter-in-law were sitting in the room picking up the soles of their shoes, and whispered, "Why don't you just be more beautiful? You don't do any work. I really don't know what my mother was thinking, and she said I'm sorry for her."
"Shhh! Stop talking. That sister-in-law is Jin Guizhu. She still thinks she is a young girl in her thirties. We can't talk about that."
"Anyone who marries her will be in great misfortune. It will be like marrying a Bodhisattva and going home to support her."
"Don't tell me, a man might actually be willing to marry her after seeing her juicy and delicate appearance."
The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family said: "I hope that Su family's name is Xiaomeng and she will be married as soon as possible."
"I also hope that."
Qishui Village.
Li Dashu and his wife took a large group of Sun family members up the mountain and entered the village.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, someone leaned out of the window and someone walked out of the yard, "It must be Sun Haiyan's mother's family. What's going on? It's like a Japanese invader entering the village."
"With such a big battle, are they going to look for trouble at Lao Su's house? It looks like they want to fight!"
Ma Guanghua, who had just returned home from the production team, saw them and wanted to stop them, but his mother hurriedly stopped him.
"Didn't you see they had sticks in their hands? Do you want to be beaten to death by them?"
"I have to tell Xiaomeng to ask the people in the team to help," Ma Guanghua clenched his fists angrily, "We can't let them come to our village to bully people!"
Liu Hongxiu was worried, "Be careful."
While they were talking, the Su family was having dinner. The dinner was stewed radish with mushrooms and steamed sweet potatoes.
Zhang Guilan said that the outer walls of the earthen house have been erected, and they will find someone to help put up the beams tomorrow. The house should be completed in two days.
"Second brother, you go help your elder brother tomorrow," Li Xiu'e said while feeding Jin Bao sweet potatoes, "call fourth and fifth children together to help..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Fengzhu put her chopsticks on the table with force, "Why should you let Er Zhuang help? Mom, why don't you let your eldest brother help my family? I paid someone to build my house.
, do you know how much it cost me to build a rafter?"
She originally wanted to build three mud houses and a kitchen, but those people only built one mud house and asked her for eighteen yuan.
During this period, she gave them money for cigarettes, drinks and meals every day, plus the money to build a house, which amounted to twenty-three yuan in half a month.
When she thought that she had spent so much money to build a mud house, but her sister-in-law had built the house without spending a penny, she felt horrified.
