Zhang Qi grabbed Zhang Qin and said, "Sister, don't go. This can't be entirely blamed on Matchmaker Zhu. Who told our parents to insist on visiting our son-in-law!"
If you really offend the matchmaker and don't marry her in the future, how can she find a man?
"As long as you can understand this, your family is not urging you to get married quickly. They just want to find a son-in-law who comes to your doorstep. If this doesn't work, let's look at the next one and we can always find the right one."
Zhang Qi refused to accept it and expressed his thoughts.
"But eldest sister, I'm old enough to get married. If I can't find someone in a year or two, wouldn't I become an old girl? Why should my parents sacrifice my happiness?"
"Can't you let me find a normal man to marry?"
"If you can find someone from a good family who can provide for your parents in their old age, it's okay if you don't want this wonton shop!"
Zhang Qin was stunned when he heard this.
"this……"
She really hadn't thought about it that way, and didn't know how to answer her sister.
"Sister, let's take my brother-in-law as an example. With his character, he will definitely not ignore his parents in the future, right?"
"That's true. If your brother-in-law dares to ignore his parents, I can't do it either!" Zhang Qin was very confident about this.
"That's right, then if I find someone like my brother-in-law, who has a better family background, wouldn't the issue of my parents' support in old age be no longer a problem!"
Zhang Qin felt that what Zhang Qi said made sense, but as her parents were getting older, the idea of finding a son-in-law was deeply ingrained and could not be easily changed.
In their minds, only if they find a son-in-law who comes to their home can they be regarded as a down-to-earth family member and will provide for them in their old age.
"You're just old enough to have haircuts. It's still early. Let's let the matchmaker find it first. If it really doesn't work, we can discuss it with our parents!"
Zhang Qi didn't want to hurt her parents' hearts, so she had to compromise temporarily.
Seeing that her sister's mood improved, Zhang Qin told Zhang Qi about the village gossip.
Especially Su Mujin selling braised food.
Zhang Qi knew the situation in Baijiacun very well, and her eyes widened when she heard Su Muxin's changes.
"Sister, are you kidding me? That Su Mujin really changed her gender?"
"Who says it's not the case! My brother-in-law went to steal braised meat, and she caught him doing it, and the whole village came to watch."
"How embarrassing!" Zhang Qi sighed, covering her mouth.
When Zhang Qin was complaining to Zhang Qi, she naturally ignored the scene where she was taught a lesson by Su Mujin.
In the eyes of the Zhang family, she has always been a very important person in her husband's family.
Zhang Qi didn't know the elder sister's little thoughts, but she became curious about Su Muxin in her heart.
She must go to the market to see with her own eyes if she has time to see if Su Mujin is really making money selling braised meat.
A few days later, Su Mujin's house had been repaired.
Strong walls and roofs, new doors, windows and high fences provide a sense of security.
The covered kitchen is also very practical, and Su Mujin is very satisfied.
Xing Zhihong also returned some money to her, which surprised her.
In order to thank Xing Zhihong's family, she specially cooked a table of dishes to entertain Aunt Fan and Xing Zhihong.
At the dinner table, the three little ones sat next to Aunt Fan. They would pick up dishes for Aunt Fan, and then tell Aunt Fan to be careful not to burn them. They were very considerate.
This scene made Liu Xiao'e feel guilty instantly.
She missed her daughter Xing Shanshan.
My five-year-old daughter has been fostered by her parents since she was a child. She blames herself for failing to fulfill her mother's role in educating her.
The attentive Aunt Fan noticed her daughter-in-law's emotional changes and quickly comforted her.
"It's all my fault for failing to help you take care of Shanshan, so you mother and daughter have been separated for many years."
"Mom, how can I blame you? It's all my fault."
Aunt Fan initially helped take care of Xing Shanshan, but Feng Dan was too capable.
Every time Aunt Fan watches over Xing Shanshan, Feng Dan gets very upset.
Helpless, Liu Xiao'e and Xing Zhihong had no choice but to send their daughter back to her parents' family to raise.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law's brother and sister-in-law didn't care, otherwise their daughter wouldn't even have a place to stay.
Xing Zhihong knew that his wife and mother both missed their daughter, so he said in a deep voice: "I will go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow to bring my daughter back."
Aunt Fan and Liu Xiao'e looked at Xing Zhihong, but neither of them spoke.
Su Mujin knew their difficulties and comforted them: "Shanshan is back and she can play with the three of us."
Bai Yao was the youngest and had no impression of Xing Shanshan. She said in a sweet voice, "Isn't Sister Shanshan very beautiful?"
"Of course, Sister Shanshan is very beautiful. Do you know that you want to get along well with Sister Shanshan?"
"Well, don't worry, mother, Yaoyao will give all the delicious food to Sister Shanshan!"
"Good boy!" Su Muxin touched Bai Yao's head happily.
Bai Chen remembered Xing Shanshan, a skinny little sister who made people feel distressed.
He jumped down from the chair, came to Liu Xiao'e, patted his chest and promised: "Second aunt, my eldest brother and I will protect sister Shanshan and prevent the children in the village from bullying her."
Although Bai Hao didn't behave like Bai Chen, in his clear eyes, he already regarded Xing Shanshan as 'one of his'.
"Thank you!" Liu Xiao'e cried excitedly.
The next day, Xing Zhihong really took Xing Shanshan back.
Aunt Fan couldn't bear to see their family separated anymore and made up her mind: "Shanshan won't leave this time. I will look after Shanshan."
"Mom, where is the sister-in-law..." Liu Xiao'e didn't want to embarrass her mother-in-law.
"It doesn't matter, I'll just watch my granddaughter and see what she can do to me!"
Xing Zhihong, who never liked to care about others, rarely had a cold face.
"Don't be afraid. If my sister-in-law continues to be so arrogant, I will go to my eldest brother to discuss it. The worst is possible..."
His dark eyes moved.
"The worst that can happen is that you will break your promise to your father!"
Before his death, Old Man Xing repeatedly told his brothers that no matter when the time comes, they must not turn against each other and cause disharmony in the family.
No matter how unreasonably Feng Dan made trouble, Xing Zhihong never fell out with his eldest brother.
But after so many years, he saw his wife being wronged in order to maintain the superficial "peace" in the family, and he suddenly felt sorry for his wife, his daughter, and even more sorry for himself.
From now on, no one can think of breaking up their family of three.
Xing Shanshan hadn't seen her parents for a long time, so she threw herself into their arms and refused to come out.
…
On this day, Su Mujin sold out all the braised food and headed towards the pork stall.
On the way, she suddenly wanted to go to the hut.
She remembered hearing someone say that there was a hut in a nearby alley, and she hurriedly looked for it.
After turning left and right, we finally found the hut.
After dealing with personal problems, I felt very refreshed.
She walked out in the direction she came in, and didn't go out for a long time.
The alleys here are intertwined and all look the same. People who are not familiar with them can easily get lost.
She wanted to buy pig water quickly, so it was best to go back the way she came.
Otherwise, you will go down a lot of wrong roads.
After walking for a long time, she finally got out of the alley and came to the main street. She found that she was still going in the wrong direction.
She had to make a long detour to get to the pork stall.
Forget it, just keep walking as much as possible. Anyway, it's still early for Zhao Dazhuang's oxcart to return to the village.
Just walking, she heard something...
