Chapter 88 Disagree

If family background is the key to determining whether a woman is a good match for marriage, Xin Tianyi believes that Zhang Yang definitely does not meet Wang Fang's requirements.

After all, the two families are too familiar with each other. Others may have room to cover up and block each other, but Zhang Yang's family does not.

Wang Fang had no idea what was going on in the Zhang and Yang families. Even though she hadn't lived in the city in recent years, she often heard about the goings-on at the cotton mill.

Since the cotton mill began its restructuring, it has gone through a self-rescue, a merger, and the last merger was a year ago, when Zhang Liangpeng withdrew in the torrent.

As a cadre, he had not yet reached retirement age, but after the integration of the cotton mill was completed, he took the initiative to request medical retirement, citing poor health and the need to return home to recuperate.

Zhang Liangpeng has aged a lot over the years, and half of his hair has turned white, especially at the temples. In addition, he always has a frown on his face. From a distance, he looks even older than Wang Yuxiu.

Pei Juanjuan was very dissatisfied with Zhang Liangpeng's retirement.

According to the original plan, Zhang Liangpeng could have held a minor position at the new factory. He could have stayed for another two or three years and retired when the time came. However, Zhang Liangpeng didn't listen to Pei Juanjuan this time and submitted his application early.

Firstly, he was exhausted over the years and could no longer work; secondly, Zhang Liangpeng wanted to leave more positions to young people so that they could realize their ambitions.

Zhang Liangpeng always said that many things about him could no longer keep up with the times, that he was no match for the young people, and that he should give up his position early.

But Pei Juanjuan couldn't understand.

She also hoped that Zhang Liangpeng could gain a foothold in the new factory and then find an opportunity to let Zhang Mao go to work.

Zhang Mao is still at home. He's a college student! And he studied abroad!

Pei Juanjuan was angry that Zhang Liangpeng only thought about himself, even about young people he didn't know, but never thought about Zhang Mao.

The quarrel lasted for a long time and the New Year was not celebrated well.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Liangpeng came to pay New Year's greetings to Wang Yuxiu himself. He was old and thin, and had completely lost his former vigor and vitality.

While drinking with Wang Yuxiu, he poured out all the bitterness in his heart, talking about how Pei Juanjuan had a sullen face and was throwing a tantrum at home, saying that Zhang Mao was a useless person, and that Zhang Yang was the only one left in the family now... Wang Fang and Li Zhiye were beside him, trying to persuade him.

Wang Yuxiu's expression at that time was so ugly that he wanted to cover Zhang Liangpeng's mouth and tell him to stop talking.

This winter, several children in the cotton mill compound have grown up, and family conversations have shifted from talking about their studies and work to discussing marriage.

As parents, we still have some control over the things we discussed above. However, from the moment they start talking about marriage, adults can clearly feel that their children are no longer under their control.

Or rather, these grown-up children no longer listen to what they say.

Among these four children, the first one to take the lead in arguing with his family was none other than the best and most honest child in the entire cotton mill compound: Wei Ran.

The romance between Wei Ran and Cheng Tianlan was a natural progression. They first met through Xin Tianyi and became friends. Later, when Wei Ran became a teacher, he happened to be the homeroom teacher for Cheng Tianlan's nephew. From then on, the two began to keep in touch frequently, and over time, they developed feelings for each other, eventually concluding their relationship.

However, this relationship is very popular in Cheng Tianlan's family, but in Wei Ran's family, there is a different attitude.

Wei Ran's mother Du Lurui disagrees.

When the two started dating, Wei Ran's mother noticed something was going on. When she asked Wei Ran about it, he just said that she was a former classmate and was now a college student. Du Lurui was quite satisfied with her son's identity as a college student. She thought it was normal for her son to have a girlfriend since he was old enough, so she did not interfere. After Cheng Tianlan graduated, she became a doctor, and Du Lurui was happy too. She was very proud to have a doctor daughter-in-law. But all this changed completely after Wei Ran officially brought Cheng Tianlan home.

The reason was that Cheng Tianlan talked about his family situation.

First, my parents are gone.

Du Lurui's heart skipped a beat.

Listening to her again, I found out that she had been gone since she was very young.

Du Lurui shuddered again.

Later on, she heard that her eldest brother opened a dance hall and raised them...

The dance hall is still open now, the one at the intersection.

Du Lurui almost fainted.

Everyone knows what that nightclub is and what it’s used for!

Du Lurui immediately frowned and looked at Cheng Tianlan with dissatisfaction.

After Cheng Tianlan left home, Du Lurui and Wei Ran started a fierce quarrel.

She disagreed. Absolutely not.

"You haven't seen anyone come out of there!" Du Lurui said, "You study every day and never care about these things. Do you know what kind of place that is? There are people with tattoos, fighting, and what kind of jobs there? You're dating someone like that? You're a teacher, Wei Ran. Have you ever thought about what others would say if you and Tian Lan got together? Would they say your brother-in-law is a traitor? Would you still be a teacher?"

Du Lurui advised Wei Ran: "We are an honest and decent family, so we should find an honest and decent girl. No matter how good Cheng Tianlan is, we can't enjoy her with such a family."

Wei Ran argued for a long time, and finally realized that he and his mother couldn't explain or argue clearly at all.

I can only go out of the house and use the winter moonlight to calm myself down.

Wei Ran stood at the door of his house and took out a lighter from his pocket. The moment he pressed the button, a small flame popped out.

Then a sound was heard.

"Wei Ran, Teacher Wei, when did you start smoking?"
