Chapter 4: A good son-in-law is nothing to be afraid of! This condition is too high for our daughter to marry...

The weather is bad and it looks like it's going to rain.

After finishing her meal, Yao Zhizhi prepared to change rooms.

The Yao family had many children, but they only had a residential plot with three rooms. The main room could not be used for living, so they had to use wooden boards to divide the east and west rooms into four small rooms.

The east side is usually occupied by the parents' generation, so the separated rooms are one large and one small.

The large south-facing room is for Yao Erdan and Wang Fang, and the small north-facing room is for the two daughters.

The west room was divided into two rooms of equal size.

The one facing south is for Yao Genbao, and the one facing north is slightly bigger than the one on the east side, and is where his three daughters live.

Yao Zhizhi is the youngest daughter, so naturally she lives in the northwest room with the third and fourth daughters.

But today Yao Genbao went to the commune guesthouse to accompany his adoptive parents, so naturally the southwest room was left empty.

It's a waste not to stay here, it's just too dirty.

Yao Zhizhi quickly packed up and threw Yao Genbao's remaining things into the yard.

Her uncle Wang Aiming had not left yet and was in the kitchen at the front, persuading her parents not to quarrel with her.

Every time Yao Zhizhi came out to throw something, she could vaguely hear a few words.

What kind of cadre is this? What kind of dead wife is this?

Tsk, I wonder what stupid idea he is coming up with to climb up.

Yao Zhizhi didn't want to get involved and continued to clean up.

I don’t know why the smell in Yao Genbao’s room is so bad. It’s an indescribable stench.

Yao Zhizhi picked up the burnt and blackened pillowcase with two fingers in disgust, as if she had found the source of the stench.

So disgusting.

Throw it away quickly.

Even his bedding was rolled up and thrown away.

But now she was left with only a bed board, so she walked to the kitchen to ask Wang Fang for a mat.

In the kitchen, sisters Yao Ningning and Yao Mengmeng had already prepared dinner and were now eating with their parents and uncle.

Yao Erdan and Wang Fang were both angry. One wanted to whip Yao Zhizhi, and the other wanted to slap her in the face.

Wang Aiming stopped them and advised, "Why bother? It's your fault, Erdan. What you said was so harsh! Girls have their own pride at this age. If someone said you were worthless and cheap, how could you not be angry?"

"Then she can't fight me. I'm her father!" Yao Erdan's arm, smeared with rat oil, hurt. He held his bowl, spit flying, and said viciously, "That damn girl is so wrong today! She must be possessed by a ghost! No, I must go find someone to bury her tomorrow."

"Don't do that, Erdan! It will be over if someone reports you." Wang Aiming has always been calm. When the father and daughter started fighting in the afternoon, he just watched coldly and didn't help anyone.

He had his own plans. He had to see which girl in the Yao family was capable and could stand on her own.

Now he had the answer in his heart.

He advised, "Just listen to my advice! Genbao went to the city, and Zhu Ben and his wife were determined to find him a job. But how easy is it to find a job in the city these days? Maybe Lao Wu can still be of use."

Yao Erdan put down his chopsticks but continued chewing.

He was handsome when he was young, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, and he attracted many romantic admirers. Unfortunately, time is cruel to him, and now his face has collapsed, and the wrinkles on his eyebrows are extremely deep.

There is no way, there are many children at home, and I am worried.

He stopped being stubborn and thought that what his brother-in-law said made sense.

Why did so many educated youth go to the countryside?

Isn’t it just that there are not so many jobs in the city?

No wonder his eldest brother only wanted to adopt his daughter.

My daughter doesn't need to be arranged to have a job, she just needs to get married and have children.

He chewed it a few more times and realized, "Right, keep her! She's the prettiest of the five girls, and she'll definitely find a good marriage. Then Genbao's job will be a piece of cake!"

That was what Wang Aiming meant. He soothed her, "Then be careful when you talk to her. She was just too cowardly before, that's why she was bullied. Now that she's finally saved her life, it's normal for her personality to change. This is good. It'll help her get established in the city! It just so happens that a senior official in the government compound has lost his wife. We should find a way to get Lao Wu married there. That way, our Genbao will have someone to rely on."

Yao Erdan slapped his forehead and said, "Right! Why didn't I think of that? Brother-in-law, you're the smart one! Okay! I'll listen to you!"

When Yao Zhizhi came in, she happened to hear these two wicked guys discussing using her as a blood bag and supporting Yao Genbao for the rest of his life.

She was too lazy to argue. What's the point of wasting energy on talking at cross purposes?

The right thing to do is to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

So she pretended not to hear and reached out to ask Wang Fang for the key: "Give me the mat in the cupboard."

Wang Fang was a little unhappy: "You didn't even call out to your elders when you saw them? And did you apologize for fighting with me and your dad today? If your uncle hadn't stopped him, your dad would have hacked you to death!"

"Well, I'm here now, chop him up quickly, and then let the militia take him away and shoot him! Both father and daughter will die together!" Yao Zhizhi was very rude.

God knows, she has been very good to them in the past half month.

Having just escaped death, he had to take care of the housework. Even though his mind was groggy, he did not slack off.

It's just that her cooking skills are a little poor, she didn't do it on purpose.

Who would have thought that at a critical juncture of interests, Yao Erdan would actually humiliate them sisters with his reckless words?

She really couldn't bear it.

I will never be nice to them again!

How dare you threaten her?

If you have the guts, just chop me up. Who’s afraid of who?

Wang Fang was speechless because of her blockage. She was so angry that she put down her chopsticks, searched her trouser pockets, and turned to go to the east room.

The extra mat in the cupboard is a dowry for the eldest daughter.

It was not used later.

Over the years, my family members thought it was unlucky but were reluctant to throw it away, so they kept it there.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you afraid of being affected by your eldest sister's bad luck?"

"Aren't the five of us unlucky enough?" Yao Zhizhi sneered.

Having these parents is their biggest misfortune!

Wang Fang understood what he said and was so angry that she wanted to take action again.

But when she thought about her elder brother and Yao Erdan's plans, she still endured it.

Wang Fang threw the mat into Yao Zhizhi's arms, locked the cabinet, and went back to the kitchen to continue eating.

Seeing her angry, Yao Mengmeng quickly complained, "Mom, ignore Fifth Sister! She's instigated Third Sister and the others to fight with her brother today. She's completely shameless! I don't think we should let her marry some high-ranking official. It's better to marry her to that old widower in the commune and get some betrothal money."

"Shut up!" Yao Erdan interrupted her directly, "Do you think I'm not angry? A little impatience can ruin a big plan, do you understand?"

Yao Mengmeng curled her lips and threw down her chopsticks in anger.

Anyway, she doesn't want to marry that old widower, he's old and ugly!

At worst...at worst she could use Zhao Hesheng as a lifeline!

Anyway, she is pregnant, so she has to marry him whether she wants to or not!

Wang Aiming saw her angry look and thought she was jealous of Lao Wu.

She advised, "Mengmeng, you're old enough now, you should be sensible. If your brother wants to gain a foothold in the city, he can only find a way to marry two of you sisters to the city. The fifth one is the prettiest, followed by Taozi and Yingzi. The three of them are the hope of the whole family, so just be patient."

Yao Mengmeng was furious and asked, "I'm not as pretty as her, so I have to bear her anger?"

"What do you have to feel wronged about? She even had a fight with your parents today! Didn't they just put up with it? When she becomes the wife of a big boss and the family enjoys a good life, you will understand your uncle's painstaking efforts." Wang Aiming persuaded patiently. There was nothing he could do. It was his daughter's fault for being disobedient.

I can only encourage my sister's family.

Yao Mengmeng was silent, feeling angry, aggrieved, and a little unconvinced.

But my uncle was telling the truth. She and Ningning were indeed not as pretty as the other three.

Especially Yao Zhizhi, she is simply different!

Although the four of them are fair-skinned, they will definitely get tanned in the summer.

Yao Zhizhi is different!

Her skin was incredibly white, smooth and delicate, without even a single mole.

And she can never get a tan, it's so infuriating.

Yao Mengmeng slammed the table and went out.

I can't win the argument anyway, and I'll just be bullied if I stay here.

Yao Ningning also followed him out. She couldn't stand her uncle smoking.

The two sisters went to the west room at the back and found that Yao Zhizhi had taken the south-facing room first. Yao Mengmeng was anxious and shouted, "Dad, Mom! The west-facing room is occupied by Lao Wu! She threw away all of Genbao's things!"

Wang Fang became anxious when she heard this. She thought Yao Zhizhi was kind and was cleaning up the house so that Genbao could live there when he came back.

Who would have thought that this girl would be so arrogant, she slammed the table and stood up immediately.

Wang Aiming quickly stopped her, "Fangfang! Didn't you understand what I said? That big boss may have good conditions, but he's old, almost fifty, and has several children. If you don't coax the fifth child, how can she agree?"

Wang Fang fell silent and retreated: "So we're just going to let her do whatever she wants?"

"It's just a shabby room. Genbao will definitely not want to live there anymore. Lao Wu can take it if he wants it! Besides, if something happens to Jingjing..." Wang Aiming paused and whispered, "At least Lao Wu will remember your kindness...right?"

There are some things Wang Aiming cannot say too directly.

Wang Fang understood.

She frowned and sat down, sighing silently: "I understand, brother, from now on, just worship her as your ancestor."

Wang Aiming was very satisfied: "That's right. No matter what, coaxing her will be beneficial in the future. By the way, there has been no contact from there recently, right?"

"No, I told Jingjing to contact me less." Wang Fang was obviously feeling guilty and lowered her voice. "Xiaotao saw the letter from there last time and almost opened it. I had no choice but to lie to her and tell her I was writing to introduce Jingjing to someone."

"Did she believe it?" Wang Aiming was not nervous at all and was very calm.

Wang Fang nodded. "I explained everything in the letter later. It won't be revealed."

Wang Aiming was relieved. "Then don't have any contact with her. She has better conditions there. She'll marry a cadre of battalion commander or above at least. When she gets married, you'll have time to enjoy your life."

Wang Fang understood, but also felt a little worried: "But brother, the old man is dying. If they come back to attend the funeral..."

"Don't be afraid. They are very busy people. Otherwise, how could they not come back for more than ten years? They may not be able to ask for leave by then. Maybe we can just send a child back. If you are worried, just send her away. She is in poor health anyway, and you have a ready-made excuse. Others will think you love your daughter, how great." Wang Aiming thought quickly and had already come up with a solution.

Wang Fang thought about it and said with a smile, "Why not hurry up and marry her off first? Then if she gets pregnant, I won't have to make excuses. Her husband won't let her come back."

"Okay, I'll take care of it. Do you have any photos at home?" Wang Aiming looked at the time. It was getting late, so he prepared to leave.

Wang Fang said yes, and quickly went to the east room to get it.

When I returned to the kitchen, Liu Yue came.

She also came to propose marriage. Wang Fang was smiling happily, and she really didn't know what a good day it was today.

She was so sleepy that someone handed her a pillow. She couldn't believe it: "Really? The director of the food factory is divorced? He's only 27?"

"Yes, but there are three children." Liu Yue sighed, it would be better if there were no children.

"What's there to be afraid of? This condition is too high for our daughter to marry! It just so happens that I have the photos! I'll leave this matter to you, sister-in-law!" Wang Fang was already dreaming.

In the future, there will definitely be endless rice and flour, and endless oil at home. It’s so comforting just thinking about it.

So raising a daughter does have its benefits!

Liu Yue was also happy. If these two marriages could be successful, Genbao would not have to worry about his job.

After Liu Yue and Wang Aiming left, Wang Fang quickly packed up and went to do ideological work for her daughters.
