Five hundred and eighty-one: Duplicity and appearance
Of course, Zhang Yu didn't dare to say it, for fear that someone would become angry and beat him up regardless of brotherhood.
That night, Aunt Zhao looked for Zhang Guifang again. After getting the accurate information from her, she returned to her parents' home early the next morning.
Aunt Zhao was sent back to her parents' home by her son. When she pushed the door open and went in, her sister-in-law's niece happened to be chatting and knitting in the yard. When she saw Aunt Zhao coming in, she was confused for a moment and then quickly gave up her seat.
Looking at the well-behaved girl, Aunt Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
Speaking of which, Aunt Zhao had met her several times at her parents' house a few years ago, and she still remembers her as a very well-behaved girl.
But in the past few years, since my mother is no longer at home, the number of visits to her parents' home has become less frequent, and I have really never met this girl again.
She came here today because she wanted to see her mother-in-law's niece with her own eyes. After all, she had to shoulder a responsibility when introducing someone to someone, and she couldn't just make do with it.
If the two young people really don't get along well after getting married, he, the matchmaker, will no longer be a human being in the middle.
After looking at her carefully, she felt that the little girl was quite nice, so Aunt Zhao winked at her sister-in-law. Looking at the look in her eyes, the woman instantly understood what she meant. This was her niece.
"Xiaoyan, go and boil a pot of tea, then find the good tea I put in the cupboard and let your aunt taste it."
"Okay." The little girl was obedient, smiled at Aunt Zhao, and entered the room.
After the little girl entered the house, the woman approached Aunt Zhao and asked, "How is it? Isn't my niece good?"
"Yes, I've fallen in love with a young man, what do you think?" Aunt Zhao directly named her reason for coming without any ink.
"What kind of young man? Tell me." The woman looked anxious. Looking at her sister-in-law's surprised look, she sighed and explained: "I don't want to be so anxious. I think you should have heard about my brother from my mother's side."
The situation is such that I want to plunge myself into a wine vat and drink myself to death.
When my parents were around, they could still control him and force him to go to work.
But after my parents left like this, my sister-in-law became as soft as dough, and I didn't dare or couldn't control her.
My brother is now like a wild horse that has escaped the reins. He will only go home if he has no money to drink or is drunk.
I'm really worried that after he has ruined his family's fortune, he will then target my niece.
That's why I thought of marrying off my niece as soon as possible while my mother's family still has some things, so as not to be sold for wine." Speaking of this, this woman's face became slightly bitter, and if she hadn't been forced to be anxious, she wouldn't have done it.
I would lower my face and ask my sister-in-law.
After hearing these words, Aunt Zhao's face was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning, and she felt a little worried in her heart. After this girl gets married, will such a natal family really not be a hindrance?
Aunt Zhao's sister-in-law noticed her hesitation and said directly: "You don't have to worry about this. I promise that I will never let my brother mess around."
The woman bites Dong and makes a decision in her heart: if it doesn't work, she will go to the elders in the village and ask them to teach this brother a lesson.
Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the assurance from her sister-in-law that she had good intentions in introducing the person to Zhao Feng and was not trying to cause trouble for him.
"Since you said so, sister-in-law, I won't hide it anymore and tell you about the conditions in the man's family."
Seeing that her sister-in-law was willing to continue talking, the woman knew that the test was over, and moved some more to her side: "You said it, I'm listening."
"The family I introduced to you is named Zhao. There are five brothers and sisters in the family. Both parents are working. The young man himself is also capable and works in the security department of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
He's not short, he's half a head taller than my old Zhao." Aunt Zhao said, while making a few strokes with her hand.
The woman on the side recalled the height of her brother-in-law and nodded: "It's true that he is not short. It would be better for him to be taller, it would be better to be taller!"
"Not only is he tall, but he is also pretty good-looking. If I didn't have a daughter of the right age, I would be reluctant to introduce him to you."
After listening to her sister-in-law's words, the woman smiled and answered: "Aren't we real relatives? Speaking of which, Xiaoyan also wants to call you sister-in-law. It can't be easier for outsiders.
But if the young man is in such good condition, can he still fall in love with Xiaoyan?"
When the woman talked about this, she also looked worried.
It’s not that she looks down on her niece, her niece is pretty good, and her appearance is considered to be one of the best in the country. Compared with those girls who have never gone to school, she is considered to be highly educated after graduating from junior high school. She is really a member of the Zhao family.
The conditions are too good.
Logically speaking, it is not easy to find a good city girl with such conditions. How can you like your niece?
"It's okay. The elders of the Zhao family said that as long as the two children can see each other, they, as adults, have no objection." Aunt Zhao's words confused the woman's concerns.
"Okay, that's it. I'm going to trouble you again. When do you think we can let the two children see each other?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Don't wait. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow I will arrange for the two children to meet and look at each other. We can't force it. We want to see what the children think." Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh.
A time has been set.
After setting the time, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and shouted into the room: "Xiaoyan, is the tea ready?"
"Okay, okay! I'm coming over right now." As the voice fell, the girl named Xiaoyan came over with a pot in one hand and a bowl with tea leaves in the other.
After making the tea, the woman pointed to the bowl and said to Aunt Zhao, "How about you try this tea, little sister? Your nephew got this tea."
When talking about this, Aunt Zhao became interested: "Then I have to give it a try!"
Then the two women were drinking tea and chatting. When the topic was almost gone, Aunt Zhao saw the sweater on the chair: "Hey, this is Xiaoyan's craftsmanship, right? It's really good!"
"No, I don't have this skill. As a niece, not to mention other things, but the sewing and mending skills that a woman's family needs, she will definitely crush all the little girls."
As the woman spoke, she picked up the sweater and asked her sister-in-law to look at the patterns on it carefully: "Look at how this little sweater is knitted!
In the past two years, thanks to Xiaoyan, I have been too busy just to see my grandchildren and have no time to do these things.
In the past two years, Xiaoyan helped me make the sweaters and trousers used in changing seasons.
If it weren't for the situation at home, I really want to keep her for another two years."
As the woman spoke, she stroked Xiaoyan's hand. She didn't notice at all that because of her words, Xiaoyan's face, which was originally well-behaved, changed in a place where the two of them couldn't see.
