Chapter 404. Bring fortune
Mother Zhou also felt that her granddaughter wasn't bad. At least not worse than that soft-boned granddaughter (Sheng Mei) of her.
Even though she wasn't bad, Mother Zhou still had self-awareness.
"Your father and I have seen that young man. At first glance, he's from a rich family. And that aura. You know your Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law's situation." Mother Zhou said hesitantly.
Wang Yuan had come with Zhou Xuan to come to see the old couple. Whether it was Father Zhou or Mother Zhou, they had a good impression of him.
Putting aside that he was young and promising, he wasn't arrogant at all. He didn't look down on people. His words were laced with compliments on how scholarly old Zhou Family was. This satisfyingly scratched Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's itch.
How many generations up in old Zhou Family were mud-legged? There had never been a scholar. How many college students were there now?
This was the peasant emancipating themselves from their position, right?
Comparing with the grandson-in-law, Zhao Jun, who looked at people through his nostrils, Wang Yuan was excellent.
Mother Zhou even thought if Xu Sheng Mei married some like Wang Yuan, then she could still accept it.
But it was just a thought. What was his identity? He came out to society as a big boss of a garment factory at a young age. His vision must be high.
So she never considered that area.
She never thought that her youngest daughter-in-law would come to talk about this.
"Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law’s family is indeed a bit poorer, but not that poor. It’s just that we are used to that lifestyle and are more economical. We don’t pay attention to the issue of ranks. Besides, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law are going to build a new house this year, so they don’t have to rely on son-in-law’s family to eat." Lin Qing He assured.
"That's right. Still, the two families are too far apart. I heard that the mothers-in-law of the rich family are particularly hard to serve." Mother Zhou said.
Mother Zhou herself was also a mother-in-law. She felt she hadn't tormented the four daughters-in-law under her. She dared to declare this wherever she went.
For example, some old ladies in the village like to torment their daughters-in-law to make up for what they used to suffer as a daughter-in-law in the hands of others.
There was no time for peace at home.
However, her old Zhou family had never been in such a situation. Long ago, the restless Fourth's wife insisted on splitting the family. Then split. Once they moved out, it was more peaceful.
As for the other three, even though they had their own thoughts, they were all a bowl of calm water when she was in charge.
Not so much ruckus.
But other people as mothers-in-law weren't the same as her. Especially when her eldest son's family was so poor and Wang Yuan's family was so rich.
Mother Zhou felt angst.
"I had told Er Ni to properly work and help you and find a partner in the future when she goes back home. All in all, a good one will be found. She didn't listen!" Mother Zhou muttered.
"Not all mother-in-law from rich family are difficult to get along with. It depends on the person." Lin Qing He said: "What's more, Er Ni wasn't looking for one. It is Wang Yuan who has fallen in love with her. Er Ni had refused him several times. It’s just that he persists in wanting to marry Er Ni. He even went to night school to pick her up after class."
Mother Zhou was stunned: "Even went to the evening school to pick up Er Ni after class?"
"En, I only learned from Hu Zi and Gang Zi after they come back. Those two foolish boys really believed that he was passing by. After a few days, they realized that something was up and told me. Only then, I knew. "Lin Qing He explained.
Mother Zhou scolded: "These two boys. Their sister got sold by him and they still help him count the money!"
"Don't worry about it. I grew up watching Er Ni and she's taught by me. I know what kind of character she is. She will definitely not shame our old Zhou family." Lin Qing He said.
"If she dares to learn from that girl Sheng Mei, see if I'll break her leg!" Mother Zhou coldly snorted.
Lin Qing He sat here for a while. It can be considered that she had prepared the old couple and prevent them from getting scared. The rest, she didn't need to care.
As soon as she went back, Father Zhou opened the mouth, "The young lad is pretty good."
Mother Zhou gave him an eye-roll: "Don't I know?"
But he was too good, so Mother Zhou was a little bit perplexed. In other words, it was still those words. If Er Ni was like Fourth's wife, then there was no problem at all. She would definitely be worthy.
But even she was her niece, they were from different branches. The conditions of the old home were much worse, and they are incomparable here.
"Isn't it enough that he fancied Er Ni?" Father Zhou said.
He didn't think there was anything wrong. It wasn't his granddaughter who was buttering others like the way his other granddaughter did. That was really lowering themselves.
It was the other party who was attracted to his granddaughter. His granddaughter was pretty and generous. Now she came to the capital, was trained, and sent to go to night school by her fourth aunt. Her education level also improved.
If she went back to the village, it was no problem to be a primary school teacher.
How was this bad?
Father Zhou felt that someone attracted to his granddaughter was cause he got a good eye. Er Ni girl won't do badly.
She was a bit like her fourth aunt. Nine out ten she will bring good fortune to the family.
Although Mother Zhou felt it might not work out. However, she didn't object to it anymore. She still called her granddaughter over.
She personally asked about it.
"Grandmother, I'm just dating him and see how it goes. If... if it doesn't work out, then we'll separate." Zhou Er Ni pursed her lips.
"What are you talking about? Do you still want your reputation? Since you're going out, then be together!" Mother Zhou frowned upon hearing this.
She can't listen to the word 'separate'. Either not go or be together to the end. This was her thought.
How bad it'll be when it spread out? The girl from X family gone out with X and then it didn't work out and marry another X. This was a reputation problem.
But in any case, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou had let Wang Yuan come over for dinner.
Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were also there. Last time, he went back without having a meal. But this time, he came to especially have a meal and recognized people on the way.
However, Wang Yuan's face was really thick. He changed the way he addressed Zhou Qing Bai and Lin Qing He. It was a mouthful of 'Fourth Uncle' and 'Fourth Aunt'.
When he came here, he called Father Zhou 'Grandfather' and Mother Zhou 'Grandmother'. For Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei, he copied Zhou Er Ni.
He dared to call, while Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were embarrassed to respond.
Have to say, this meal ended well. Putting aside other things, in short, Wang Yuan had made his attitude clear.
He truly had the sincere desire to marry another's granddaughter, so that's why he act as someone else's grandson and serve tea and wine.
Needless to say, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were pleased.
Look at Wang Yuan. Then look at Zhao Jun who looked at people through his nostrils. Totally one sky, one earth.
After drinking some wine at the dinner table, Mother Zhou used the excuse of needing her granddaughter to support her back to have some private words.
