Yang Xiaofu ran all the way home. The two families lived only two rooms apart. When she got home, her mother asked, "Xiaofu, what's wrong?" Yang Xiaofu hugged her mother and cried, "Mom, Zhao Aiguo is a bastard! He doesn't agree, and he still insists that I'm not as pretty as Grandma Zhao!"

Yang's mother nearly choked on her saliva, coughing incessantly as she looked at her daughter with suspicion. Everyone who saw her daughter said she was beautiful! She had a great figure, a tall and slender build, and a pretty face. Zhao's mother used to be a walking earthenware jar, how could her daughter compare to her?

He immediately comforted her, saying, "Girl, don't cry! That's just a blind fool! He's been dim-witted since he was little, what could he possibly know!"

Yang Xiaofu stomped her feet and said, "I won't allow you to talk about him like that! I don't care, you go and tell him! I'm going to marry him..."

"Oh my goodness! My ancestor, aren't you ashamed?! This is getting to marriage? I don't see anything good about him! He's never sat in a classroom for more than a few days since he was a kid, always being punished by standing outside. Don't let his current respectable appearance fool you, he's just a pretty face with no substance. You're at least a college student!..."

Yang Xiaofu covered her ears and said, "I won't listen, I won't listen! I'm going to marry him! I've decided on him for life!" With that, she ran back into the house. Yang's mother sighed and said, "Marriage is fate, good or bad, and those who are not destined to be together will not come together; children are debts, to collect and repay debts, and those without debts will not come."

No, I have to talk to Wei Shuqing and Zhao Dahu tomorrow! What's wrong with Xiao Fu?

Meanwhile, Wei Shuqing asked the same question, "Zhao Aiguo, tell me, what's wrong with Yang Xiaofu? I heard he'll be reporting on TV in a few days, and you're still criticizing him?"

After giving Zhao Dahu a couple of nudges and a wink, Zhao Dahu sighed and said, forcing a smile, "Son, why don't you give it a try?"

Zhao Aiguo shook his head. "Dating without the intention of marriage is just playing around. I don't want to commit a crime!"

Wei Shuqing said with a stern face, "Give me a straight answer, or I'm not done with you!"

Zhao's parents didn't know what to say, and looked at Zhao Aiguo with hopeful eyes. Wei Shuqing said, "Mom and Dad, you've seen Xiaofu too. She's more than a match for Zhao Aiguo. Why doesn't he agree? I really don't know what you're thinking. You don't want such a good job, but a wife is practically offered to you, and you still complain about her! What exactly do you want?"

Zhao Aiguo sighed and said, "Mom, it's not suitable, it's just not suitable, I can't explain it to you!"

Wei Shuqing was furious. "Dahu, look at him! The older he gets, the less he knows what's good for him. He thinks everything is the best path, but he refuses to take it and insists on going down the low road."

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao quickly stood up and shielded Zhao Aiguo behind them. "Shuqing! Don't worry, we'll talk to him. Dahu, you take Shuqing home first and try to persuade him. We'll also try to persuade Aiguo!"

Zhao Dahu hurriedly pulled Wei Shuqing, who was about to cry from anger, back into the house. As soon as he closed the door, he hugged his plump wife and comforted her, "What's wrong? You're such a grown woman, why are you crying like this?"

Wei Shuqing wiped away her tears and said, "I just can't stand his lack of ambition. Look at him now, he treats going to work like he's going to the guillotine. What's wrong with Xiao Fu? He's a college graduate, after all..."

Zhao Dahu said with a serious expression, "Shuqing, how can you know if a fish is happy or not if you are not a fish?"

Wei Shuqing struggled to get Zhao Dahu to stand opposite her, her eyes red, and said, "I'm his mother! Would I harm him?"

Zhao Dahu waved his hand and said, "Shuqing, you're too hasty. We need to hear what the reasons are for patriotism..."

Wei Shuqing lay on the bed and started crying. Zhao Dahu sighed as well. Other people's sons were caught in the middle between their mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, but his son was caught in the middle between his son and daughter-in-law. His son was usually cheerful and easygoing, but he was very principled on some things. Unfortunately, his wife was stubborn.

Meanwhile, Zhao's father said to Zhao Aiguo, "Aiguo, why isn't Yang Xiaofu good enough?"

Zhao Aiguo sighed and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, didn't you say that a man's three treasures are an ugly wife, a small plot of land, and a tattered cotton-padded coat? A wife who is a little plump will bring good fortune to the house, even if she's not rich. Dumplings should be eaten hot, and wives should be chosen to be plump. Look at that Yang Xiaofu, he's practically skin and bones, like he's starving..."

Zhao's mother scoffed, "Stop flattering me and your mother. Tell the truth."

Zhao Aiguo chuckled, "That's really not true. Look at how well our family is doing, right? It's all thanks to you and my mother. I'm sure I'm right to choose someone based on that standard."

Zhao's father was unusually serious. "Stop grinning and tell me your idea."

Zhao Aiguo said with a bitter face, "Yang Xiaofu's mother is too cunning. She spoiled Yang Xiaofu with the temper of a spoiled princess. Moreover, she taught her by example. I don't believe that Yang Xiaofu is a naive and innocent girl. Now I can see that she likes to climb the social ladder wherever she goes!"

And how did she even get into university? Others might not know, but I certainly do! If it weren't for her parents, she wouldn't have even finished junior high! And yet she still has the nerve to flaunt her university student status.

I'm not looking down on her, but if we really marry her, our good days will be over. Without saying anything, just wait and see. Tomorrow, Yang Xiaofu's mother will definitely go to my parents to make decisions for her daughter. You can ask her tomorrow if you don't believe me.

Her mother has always looked down on me since I was little, her mouth pursed like she'd never seen anyone before. Let me tell you, the reason they brought this up with us this year is definitely not because they're interested in me, but because they're interested in my current job. Otherwise, why didn't they mention it before?

Anyway, this won't do. I'm marrying a wife, not an ancestor or a lowly woman. Alright, I'm going back to sleep." After Zhao Aiguo had walked away, Zhao's father and mother exchanged a smile.
