By the way, he trusted Zhu Ying so much because of her parents, because he thought that a child raised by such parents should be good. He never expected that a spoiled child would be so carefree and irresponsible. It was quite shocking.

Lin's mother said she would arrange a marriage for Lin Yihui, and that evening the matchmaker brought a girl over to meet Lin Yihui. Lin's mother had already inquired about the girl beforehand and found that there was nothing wrong at home, which is why she agreed to let the matchmaker bring the girl over to meet Lin Yihui.

Lin Yihui is the eldest son in the family and has long reached the age to get married. Moreover, if he doesn't get married, his two younger brothers won't be able to get married first.

Lin Yihui also decided to postpone his vacation by a month, get married at home before leaving, so that his family could rest assured.

The girls brought by the matchmaker had all been confirmed by Lin's mother to be without any problems, meaning Lin Yihui could choose any of them. On the fourth day of the blind dates, Lin Yihui finally met a girl he liked. Although this girl's skin wasn't very fair, she was pretty, simple, and a good candidate for a wife.

The girl's name is Cao Jianyu. Her family was very happy to learn that Cao Jianyu and Lin Yihui had found a good match. The Lin family was well-off, living in a large brick house with tiled roofs. Moreover, Lin Yihui had a good job and a good family atmosphere. It can be said that the Lin family was a rare and wonderful family.

After the matchmaking was successful, Lin's mother asked Lin Yihui to take Cao Jianyu to a state-run restaurant for a meal, to visit the park in the county town, to watch a movie, and to get to know him better.

After a week of this back and forth, Cao Jianyu grew to like Lin Yihui more and more, and didn't care at all about the fact that he had brought his girlfriend home before, because she felt that it was a stroke of good luck for her ancestors to be able to marry Lin Yihui.

At that time, marriages were almost always whirlwind romances. If they met and felt it was a good match, they would get married quickly. So, after Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu had known each other for a week, their families sat down together to discuss marriage.

On the surface, the bride price was given according to the normal standard. If it was too much, others would be jealous; if it was too little, others would think that the Lin family did not value Cao Jianyu. So the amount given was just right, so that no one could find fault with it.

However, on the surface, they gave Cao Jianyu an extra fifty yuan as a bride price. After all, Lin Yihui rarely came back throughout the year, and for Cao Jianyu to marry Lin Yihui was no different from living as a widow, so they naturally had to compensate her properly.

Then there are two sets of autumn clothes, two sets of winter clothes, four pairs of shoes, a watch, and many other things that are also used in the countryside. Buying them would be a waste, so it would be better to give the money to the young couple so they can live a good life.

The Cao family agreed to the conditions offered by the Lin family, and then began to arrange the marriage of the two children. The marriage between Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu was set for a week later.

In other words, the two people who met on a blind date were going to get married in less than half a month.

In the past few days, Lin Yiwan had met Cao Jianyu several times and thought she was quite nice. However, having read many historical novels, she was worried that there might be problems with Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu's marriage. So she went to Cao Jianyu's house and took her to stay at a guesthouse, making it impossible for anyone who wanted to scheme against Cao Jianyu or steal her marriage to do so.

In historical novels, it was common for cousins ​​to scheme against each other's potential partners. For example, if a girl found a suitable boyfriend, her other sisters would either secretly try to seduce him or harm him so that they could marry him themselves.

Although Lin Yiwan didn't think Lin Yihui was anything special, his qualifications were still highly sought after in the marriage market, and countless people wanted to marry him.

However, Lin's mother has strict requirements for her daughter-in-law. Ordinary people cannot meet her standards, nor can troublesome or biased families. This way, unsuitable people can be filtered out.

Wenxi was also relieved that Lin Yihui was getting married so soon. However, since he was not marrying Zhu Ying, Wenxi was relieved. If he had really married Zhu Ying, the Lin family would likely have been turned upside down, and it would have affected Lin Yiwan as well. Now that Zhu Ying was gone, there was no need to worry about that.

"Xiaoxi, it's Lin's eldest brother's wedding. What kind of gift should we give? Should we just give a monetary gift like everyone else?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.

They are friends with Lin Yiwan, and they are also acquaintances with Brother Lin, so it wouldn't be right not to prepare a gift.

“Does anyone have a new dress? Let’s give one to them as a wedding gift, and then the three of us can split the cost of the dress,” Wenxi said.

Jiang Yue returned to her room and took out a dress she had bought for herself. "I have a new dress here that I bought this year, but I haven't washed it yet."

Wenxi took the dress, looked at it, and nodded. "This color is nice; it can be used as a wedding gift."

"That's good." Jiang Yue said with a smile. In such hot weather, they didn't want to go to town.

Wen Xi went back to her room to get the money and handed it to Jiang Yue, saying, "Xiao Yue, thank you so much for solving such a big problem for us."

Qin Mi did buy Wen Xi two dresses before, but Wen Xi wore them as pajamas at night. How can clothes that have been worn be given away as gifts?

Wenxi folded the skirt neatly and put it into a cloth bag, intending to give it to Lin Yihui's wife on their wedding day.

Shen Jiaojiao moved closer to Wen Xi and nudged Wen Xi's arm mischievously, "Xiao Xi, when are you going to find a boyfriend?"

"And you? When are you going to find a partner?" Wen Xi asked instead of answering, passing the buck to Shen Jiaojiao.

Shen Jiaojiao looked down and played with her fingers. "I just haven't met anyone I like yet! I want to be in a relationship but I can't!"

She's two years older than Wenxi. She's already twenty this year. Others her age would already have kids in kindergarten, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend.

She started way too late.

Wenxi nodded. It was indeed not easy to find a like-minded partner in the countryside. Moreover, the people here thought differently from them. If she really married here, she probably wouldn't give Shen Jiaojiao the opportunity to develop herself in the future, because they didn't want a woman to be stronger than them. They felt that it was like being overshadowed by a woman.

Moreover, most of the parents-in-law here want to have a grandson. If you have a granddaughter, they might pressure you to have one child after another until you have a grandson.

You want a divorce, but he can't afford to marry a new wife, so he won't agree to a divorce. Besides, most men won't get a divorce, since a divorce would mean one less breadwinner in the family.

And if we get divorced, who will do the housework?

Who will take care of the parents?

Who will raise the child?

After weighing the pros and cons, neither of them would agree to a divorce. In other words, if she really married into this family, she would have to endure this for the rest of her life, and it would just be a matter of who dies first.
