Chapter 189: If his marriage is difficult, then he is in trouble. Could it be that he has offended Yue...

Li Man was so depressed. Why was it so difficult for her to find a son-in-law for her daughter?

First, she was entangled by Xu Kai, then she was cheated by her brothers from her mother's side, and later she was messed up by that little Dou, and she almost couldn't deal with the aftermath.

Now, I finally met a guy with decent looks and who seems cheerful and lively, but he turned out to be the illegitimate son of the former factory director?

What should I do?

However, we cannot jump to conclusions on this matter. What if someone is jealous of their family and deliberately instigates it?

What if this didn't happen at all?

The most urgent thing is to visit the prison and ask Director Zhao.

That afternoon she found someone to contact the prison and arranged the time.

By then, Director Zhao was still emotional. After all, he had been so cautious for so many years before being arrested, but in the end, a single misstep had ruined his reputation. Furthermore, right after he got into trouble, his position was taken by Li Man, who was also Zhang Tianping's wife. He couldn't help but think about it.

Now that he sees his enemy who is suspected of having betrayed him, it would be strange if he could have a good attitude.

He had a cold face and his eyes were full of hostility. If there hadn't been a prison guard watching, he might have rushed up and beat Li Man up.

Li Man was no fool; she could naturally sense his attitude, but she still smiled and politely sat down in the simple visiting room. Across the table, she asked, "Who is Zhao Pingyang to you?"

Director Zhao sat across the table and clenched his hands under the table.

He looked at Li Man quietly, his eyes not changing at all.

Li Man couldn't help but frown: "Why don't you speak?"

Director Zhao was secretly pleased, but he didn't show it on his face. He denied it and said, "I don't know him, so what do you want me to say?"

"I don't know him?" Li Man expressed doubt. "Why did I hear people say he was your illegitimate child?"

"How is that possible? I'm a good person who keeps myself clean. If you don't believe me, go and ask. If your man hadn't cheated on me, I wouldn't be in jail." Director Zhao stood up and didn't want to talk anymore.

He is not a good actor and will be exposed easily after a long time.

All in all, today's meeting was worth it.

He believed that Zhao Pingyang could avenge him, definitely.

He ended the visit like this and left, refusing to answer a single question even though Li Man kept asking questions behind him.

Li Man had no choice but to find a day off and go to the nearby Red Star Commune in person to find out about Zhao Pingyang's mother.

The strange thing is that I couldn't find out anything.

The people of the Red Star Commune unanimously praised this woman, saying that she was a good and responsible woman who had raised her only son with great difficulty after becoming a widow. Now her son was finally getting married, and it was truly a happy ending after all the hard work.

Li Man was still worried, so she spent some money to bribe a few villagers in Zhaojiagou and asked around, but they still said the same thing.

It seems that the person who wrote the anonymous letter is really messing with her.

Li Man finally breathed a sigh of relief and let her two children get married as planned. However, considering that the death of the dead man could not be concealed forever and that the children might suffer if they bore the surname Zhang, she changed the surnames of her three daughters.

The eldest daughter is an adult and can make the changes herself.

Last year, the two little daughters wanted to change their surnames through the back door, but they almost got into trouble. This year, they simply went to the hospital and found a patient who looked like Zhang Tianping, impersonated Zhang Tianping, and signed a document to change the children's surnames to Li.

This time it went much more smoothly, so the child's name on the invitation was Li Xiaohua instead of Zhang Xiaohua.

The rain in May is always moody.

In the yard of the sugar factory's staff dormitory, several banquet tables had just been set up when dark clouds floated over.

Li Xiaohua didn't take it seriously, but her third sister, Li Xiaobei, said with a worried look on her face, "The weather forecast said there wouldn't be rain today. Why is it raining out of the blue?"

Li Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's summer now. It's normal. It's no big deal."

Really? Li Xiaobei was worried. She wasn't a superstitious person, but for some reason, she always had a bad feeling in her heart.

Seeing that the employees of the sugar factory came to help move tables and benches, she had no choice but to put aside her bad thoughts and go to help.

As soon as we finished, the sky cleared up and we had to move the table out again. Otherwise, it would be too hot with so many people crowded together, after all, it was May.

Soon, everyone was gathered. Yao Zhizhi did not come, but asked Zhang Wang to come on her behalf to deliver the gift money and have a banquet to improve the food.

Li Xiaobei was in charge of recording interpersonal relationships. The moment she saw Zhang Wang, she felt a surge of emotion in her heart. She thought, it would be great if her elder sister could choose this man. He is well-mannered and seems introverted. He probably won't bully her.

Looking at her future brother-in-law Zhao Pingyang who was like a fish in water in the crowd, Li Xiaobei didn't know why she always felt uneasy.

So she asked quietly, "Brother Zhang, I want to ask why Editor-in-Chief Yao didn't come?"

"She's in a meeting at the provincial government office and really doesn't have time." Zhang Wang looked apologetic. "She asked me to give her regards to your whole family."

Li Xiaobei didn't understand: "Do publishers also need to go to the provincial government for meetings?"

"I don't know about that." Zhang Wang didn't want to get involved. Yao Zhizhi did go to the province today, but it seemed to be for an apprenticeship. Few people knew about it, so he wouldn't gossip about it.

Li Xiaobei had no choice but to give up. Halfway through the banquet, it started to rain again.

Li Xiaobei felt even more uneasy, so she hurried to help move the table into the house. Those that couldn't fit had to be placed at their neighbor's house.

It was really funny that the whole banquet was messed up three times.

After the banquet, she called out to Zhang Wang, "Brother Zhang, if Editor-in-Chief Yao comes back, could you please tell her? I want to see her. I'll go see her next Monday morning."

"Okay, I'll pass it on for you." Zhang Wang hurried back because he still had to go to work.

He really likes being with Xie Dayou. This old man always has endless revolutionary stories to tell, and he loves listening to them!

When he arrived at the reception room, he saw his mother there too. Zhang Wang was a little puzzled: "Mom, you came to see me?"

Qu Ping smiled and handed him a photo: "I told you last time that the blacksmith introduced you to a girl. The photo arrived today, so I sent it to you."

Zhang Wang was at a loss for words. He had never considered getting married. After all, his father was a death row inmate. If the girl followed him, wouldn't her time be delayed?

Even if you have children in the future, you will be implicated in the political review and will not be able to have a stable job.

He didn't want to get married, and he emphasized to his mother again: "Mom, I'm fine now, please don't push me. If you're really bored, I can introduce you to a partner."

Qu Ping rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Nonsense, your mother is already so old, and she's still looking for a partner."

"So what?" Zhang Wang and Xie Dayou asked in unison.

Qu Ping looked at her son, then at her son's friend who was much older than her, and her face suddenly turned red. She was too embarrassed to argue with her son in front of outsiders, so she had to take the photo and go back.

Xie Dayou looked at her from behind and said with a smile, "Your mother is quite shameless. Actually, it's quite easy for her to find another partner at her age."

"Really? Then please help me find one. Once she finds her own partner, she won't urge me anymore." Zhang Wang was very happy.

Xie Dayou raised his eyebrows: "No problem, what are the conditions?"

"It doesn't matter. Just keep the family members simple and treat her well. I'm not picky about anything else." Zhang Wang was very happy. Her mother had been depressed for a while after her father was shot, but now she has come to terms with it and looks much better.

Instead of staying with an unclean man whose heart is not with her, it is better to help her son arrange a marriage and take care of her grandchildren.

This mother and son are really interesting. Xie Dayou is very happy to see them happy, so he naturally feels obliged to do so.

Two days later, he brought a photo and showed it to Zhang Wang. After asking around, Zhang Wang found out that the man was a new dispatcher from the Railway Bureau. He was a widower named Luo and had two daughters. The family structure was indeed simple.

Zhang Wang happily took the photo back to show his mother. His mother subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she heard him say, "I've asked Uncle Xie to help me make an appointment. This Sunday at 3 pm, Luo will be waiting for you at the entrance of the state-owned shopping mall."

Qu Ping was speechless. This bastard hadn't solved his own problems yet, but he was already worrying about her affairs. She was already in her forties, so what did it matter whether he looked for her or not?

She was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to him. Zhang Wang didn't argue with him. He just followed her wherever she went. He didn't try to persuade her, but stared at her with longing eyes.

Qu Ping had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

"That's more like it." Zhang Wang finally succeeded. For some reason, he suddenly had the illusion of an old father marrying off his daughter.

Poor his mother, she has suffered so much injustice for so many years, it’s time for her to enjoy life. I hope this Luo Chui is a good man who understands her feelings.

On Friday, Yao Zhizhi returned from the provincial capital.

It was nothing serious. It was just that the old employees of the food factory were jealous of the twelve apprentices. Seeing that they had won the production model for two consecutive months, they were unhappy and spread rumors and slandered them for stealing the factory's products.

The problem was solved as soon as Yao Zhizhi arrived. Thanks to her melon-eating system, she was able to find the traitor without fail.

Now the employee who actually stole the food has been fired, and her family has made a big fuss about it, and out of anger, they brought in their so-called backer.

Unexpectedly, the backer was actually Zhou Ying - the employee causing trouble was the daughter of Zhou Ying's sister-in-law.

The employee barely had time to rejoice after calling out "Auntie" when Zhou Ying smiled and held Yao Zhizhi's hand. "It's Xiao Yao! What brings you here?"

Yao Zhizhi smiled and pointed at the twelve apprentices. "I arranged for them to come here. Aunt Zhou's niece seems to be a bit discriminating against country people. She even falsely accused them of stealing from the factory."

Zhou Ying's face was burning with anger. He quickly criticized his niece's family and told them to go back and not embarrass themselves in the factory.

Yao Zhizhi stopped there and did not pursue the matter further. After all, Zhou Ying's attitude was impeccable. Besides, after this commotion, all the regular employees in the factory knew that she was protecting the twelve apprentices, and they probably wouldn't dare to do it again.

After Yao Zhizhi came back, Zhang Wang told her that Li Man's daughter was still married, but the third brother was a little uneasy and made an appointment with her to meet next Monday.

Yao Zhizhi was a little curious: "She's uneasy? Does she think her brother-in-law is not a good person?"

"I don't know about that either." Zhang Wang had no friendship with the mother and daughter of the Li family, and his Zhang had no blood relationship with Zhang Tianping. It was just a coincidence that they were just big surnames.

Since we are not close friends, we cannot talk too much, so he naturally didn't ask too many questions.

Yao Zhizhi was not in a hurry and decided to talk about it on Monday.

I got home and had just finished dinner when the phone rang.

Duan Cheng called: "Hello, Xiao Yao."

"It's me. What's up?" Yao Zhizhi hadn't heard from him for a while.

Duan Cheng smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to tell you that I'm getting married."

"Congratulations, is your partner from Northeast China?"

"Yes, her last name is Ye. Her brother is your second sister's ex-husband, and he's a nice guy. I sent you a bag of wedding candy, but I won't invite you to the wedding banquet; it's too far away."

"Ah... OK, congratulations." Yao Zhizhi was stunned. From the Ye family?

After hanging up the phone, she hurried to the front to find her second sister.

Yang Shuming was helping his two older children with their homework. When he saw her coming, he greeted her with a smile.

Yao Zhizhi waved her hand: "Hello, brother-in-law, I have something to talk to my sister about."

"Go ahead, I'm at home." Yang Shuming smiled, turned around and patiently explained the math problems to Guanying.

The two sisters went to the edge of Jade Lake. There was no one around. Yao Zhizhi whispered, "Duan Cheng married the daughter of the Ye family. I heard she is the younger sister of my ex-brother-in-law."

"Then he's in trouble. Could it be that he has offended the matchmaker?" Yao Miaomiao was speechless. Is Duan Cheng destined to be unhappy?

Yao Zhizhi was curious: "How do you say that?"
