Su Congwu seemed to have guessed that the family would react this way when he told about the girl's family situation. He quickly explained: "Although Shuhui has many sisters in her family, she can't bear a big burden. Both sisters are already married. She and her brother are the only ones married in the city."
"Her father died due to a work-related injury in the factory, so the factory paid compensation, and the family still had some savings."
Hearing this, Zhang Xinlan's expression became a little better. Both sisters were married, so there were two less mouths to eat, which relieved a big burden.
"How old is her brother? Does he have a job?" Zhang Xinlan asked again.
Su Congwu's expression changed slightly again, "Her brother will be eighteen soon and will have a formal job soon."
"That's pretty much it." Zhang Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief.
There are four brothers and sisters in the family, two are married, two have formal jobs, and have some savings. This is considered a reasonably well-off family in the city.
She immediately smiled and patted Su Congwu on the shoulder, "Congwu, you have done something that makes my mother happy."
Su Congwu moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say anything.
Su Qingyun frowned. She felt like her third brother had unfinished words.
After all, Wu Guixiang had been working hard for decades. She saw Su Congwu's anomaly and noticed something was wrong. She narrowed her eyes and asked Su Congwu: "Congwu, tell me, are you hiding anything from us? "
What are you hiding? Zhang Xinlan was confused.
"No...no, milk." Su Congwu's heart skipped a beat and he reluctantly said.
"Is it true?" Wu Guixiang's eyes were oppressive. "You are not a child who tells lies. I can tell at a glance. Tell me, is there anything else about that girl that you haven't told?"
Su Congwu fell silent.
Zhang Xinlan suddenly felt something bad. The smile on her face dropped and she asked Su Congwu: "What's going on? Congwu, please explain clearly."
Su Congwu hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.
"Shuhui actually took over her father's job at that time. When her brother turns eighteen, the job will be given to her brother."
"What?!"
"However, Shuhui graduated from high school. She is preparing for the next recruitment exam in the factory. She has the foundation and will definitely pass the exam." Su Congwu saw his mother's expression change instantly and immediately added.
Zhang Xinlan's face was gloomy, a storm was coming, and the pleasant look she had just now had long since disappeared.
"The job is not hers? That means she will be the current one soon. If you say she is preparing for the job recruitment exam, will she definitely pass it? If she fails to pass the exam, then she will have to rely on you to support her in the future?" Zhang Xinlan asked continuously. Su Congwu was speechless after a burst of artillery output.
Su Congwu waited for a while before saying calmly: "I believe she will pass the exam."
"What's the use of your belief? Do you believe that she will definitely pass the exam? If she could pass the exam, why didn't she take the exam when she graduated and instead took her father's job?" Zhang Xinlan rejected Su Congwu's idea and was furious. Come to one place.
"Do you know how you would live in the city if she didn't have a job? You live in the factory dormitory now. If you marry her, will you live in the dormitory together?"
Su Congwu became more and more silent. He had actually been mentally prepared for the disapproval of his family, but he thought about the girl with a bright smile and really liked her, so he still tried to make his family accept her.
Wu Guixiang listened for a long time and finally spoke, "Why did she take over her father's job in the first place?"
Su Congwu explained: "Her father has been away for several years. Although his job position is still there, no one has taken over as the years have passed. It is inevitable that there will be people in the factory keeping an eye on him, so Shuhui took over first." Yes, her family had agreed from the very beginning that when her brother reaches the age of eighteen, he would give his job back."
"Shuhui has been working for a long time. She has a high chance of passing the recruitment exam." He tried his best to speak for the girl named Shuhui.
Wu Guixiang remained silent, frowning and thinking about something.
After listening to this, Su Qingyun sighed inwardly. This is the way it is in this era. A job can be passed down. Therefore, in this era, jobs such as workers and other units are the iron rice bowl that everyone envies.
The job that a father pays for with his life can only be left to one child in the family. In most families, it must be left to the boy. No one would find it strange. Naturally, the girl named Shuhui returned the job to her younger brother. No one will think anything is wrong.
But the key is that Zhang Xinlan doesn't obey.
"No, I don't agree to this marriage." Zhang Xinlan said directly with a calm face.
"What kind of marriage?"
Just as Su Aiguo's three brothers were back, Su Aimin asked curiously.
But when he saw Su Congwu in the room, he immediately understood and said with a smile: "Hey, Congwu has a date? Someone from the factory?"
"...Hmm." Su Congwu responded.
"Then why are you unhappy?" Su Aimin looked at the sullen Zhang Xinlan and wondered, doesn't the second sister-in-law want the two brothers Cong Wen and Cong Wu to get married like they are looking forward to the stars and the moon every day? Now that Congwu has found a girl from the factory, why isn't she happy?
Su Qingyun pulled her father over, "Dad, please stop talking, the second aunt is already very unhappy."
Su Aidang looked at his wife and then at his youngest son, "What's going on? What's going on with the person you're talking to about Congwu?"
"Let him tell you." Zhang Xinlan said angrily.
Wu Guixiang spoke first: "Everyone is hungry, let's talk about it during dinner."
"Okay, I'll go wash my face." Su Aidang didn't think much.
Soon, Qin Ying, who entered the house last, also came back. She was a little surprised to see Su Congwu at home. Su Qingyun whispered a few words to her mother, and Qin Ying finally understood what happened.
The family sat at the table to eat. After Wu Guixiang finished sharing the food, seeing that the others were not rushing to pick up the food as before, she said: "Congwu, please say what you just said again."
"Okay." Su Congwu obeyed and repeated what he just said.
Zhang Xinlan listened again and became even more angry. She tugged on Su Aidang's sleeve, "Aidang, you said that you found a girl from Wu who will no longer have a job. What's going on?"
She desperately needs someone to stand with her.
"I asked you to find a partner, not someone who needs you to support her!" Zhang Xinlan couldn't eat it at all and stared at Su Congwu.
"Mom, can you please stop speaking so harshly?" Su Congwu couldn't bear it anymore.
"What did I say? Why is it so unpleasant?" Zhang Xinlan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You think my words are unpleasant now, you will only know when you have a hard time in the future."
She pushed Su Ai Dang, "Ai Dang, you speak."
After listening to Su Congwu's words, Su Aidang didn't show any expression of disgust. Instead, he asked Zhang Xinlan strangely, "How many of the wives in our village have jobs in the city?"
"This girl's conditions are pretty good. We are a rural family after all. As long as her family doesn't treat her harshly and doesn't focus on her parents' family, I think it's good."
Su Aidang really thinks that his son has found a good partner. Although there are two sisters in the family, they are both married. Even if the job is returned to his brother later, his brother will have a job to support himself and will not need help from his sisters. , as long as the two of them can live their own lives well, Su Aidang feels better than anything else.
He was really afraid of Zhang Xinlan's blood-sucking natal family, and he wished he could drag their Su family to live together.
Apart from having a job in the city, Congwu's other conditions are not as good as those of other girls.
Zhang Xinlan was dumbfounded when she heard Su Aidang's words. What did she mean? Does he still agree with the person his son is looking for?
"Love the Party, are you confused? We who join the armed forces are workers with formal jobs. That girl will have nothing in the future, how can she be worthy of our joining the armed forces?" Zhang Xinlan shouted.
Su Congwu was helpless. His mother really thought that she was some kind of hot cake.
"Okay, second daughter-in-law, let me say a few words." Wu Guixiang finally spoke, "Second brother is right, after all, our Su family is a rural family and cannot be compared to the city. How many girls in the city have you seen? Married from the countryside? Since the girl's two sisters can marry into the city, it means that their family's conditions are not bad. Her brother will be able to support himself when he gets a job in the future, and he does not need the help of several sisters. "
"Besides, Congwu doesn't have a house in the city, so he can only live in a dormitory, and he has to live with others in the dormitory. Besides, you know that he will definitely not pass the exam, but everyone can pass the exam, and that girl is working After such a long time, my technical skills and popularity are all in place, so I have a good chance of passing the exam."
"Well, there's something else I forgot to mention." When Wu Guixiang said this, Su Congwu couldn't help but interject.
"Can you tell me everything at once?" Zhang Xinlan's eyes were filled with fire, "Don't tell me there are worse situations!"
"No." Su Congwu scratched his head and said, "Shuhui and her brother will not be able to take over the job for about half a year, but our textile factory will be divided into houses next month. Although I have only joined the factory not long ago, if the husband and wife work both You can get a room."
"Shuhui's family has said that although the job will be given to her brother in the future, if we get married soon and can share a house, the house will be ours."
After Su Congwu said these words, the whole family fell silent.
Room allocation?
Zhang Xinlan's mind turned several times before she realized. In other words, if you marry that girl, you can get a house if you join the martial arts?
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Zhang Xinlan almost threw her chopsticks at him. This little brat, after talking for so long, he forgot to mention the most important thing.
"I wanted to say it," Su Congwu said aggrievedly, "but the rooms will be divided next month, so it's too late."
"Unless... we do it now." Su Congwu felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
What to do? Get married now? Is it too fast? The family members looked at each other, and they were still objecting fiercely just now.
