Chapter 599: Marriage Proposal Rejected

Huang Cuilan laughed when she heard this. "Sister-in-law, forget it. How can my son Xizi like him when he hasn't even finished primary school? Besides, he's still very young. I'm not worried about not being able to find my own son. Why are you in such a hurry? Don't mention this anymore. If it gets out, my mother-in-law will be angry again and accuse us of being nosy and meddling in the Zhang family's affairs."

Huang's mother said unhappily, "He's my own grandson, why can't I take care of him?"

Huang Cuilan couldn't explain it to her mother, nor did she want to. She was somewhat aware that the Zhang family's grandchildren were all very popular. With Xiaowu as their uncle, there were many people who wanted to get close to them. Don't you see that even with the father's age, there are still many girls who refuse to give up.

"Xiao Lan, why don't you meet the child first."

Huang Cuilan had no such difficulty talking to her sister-in-law. She looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, you should return all the benefits you have received to the other party. If the other party brings it up, just say that the child is still young and his marriage needs his grandfather's approval. Let him talk to my father-in-law."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family was reminded of her true feelings. She said with a hint of irritation, "You are really ungrateful. I didn't get any benefits from you. If you weren't my nephew, I wouldn't bother with you. Let's see what kind of treasures you children can find."

Huang's mother was unhappy when she heard this. She could say whatever she wanted, but who would curse her grandson like that? She glared at her daughter-in-law and said, "Can a matchmaker force a marriage? What do you mean? What girl can't my grandson be worthy of?"

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family slapped her mouth quickly and said with a flattering smile, "Mom, I'm just saying this to get back to the point. I really think that girl is good, and it's a pity that she's gone. I don't have such a suitable child, otherwise I would kneel down for the child."

Huang's mother snorted and turned away, ignoring the fool. If it weren't for her grandson, she wouldn't have been willing to bring her home.

Thinking of this, she took her daughter's hand again, patted it, and said softly: "Don't mind your sister-in-law's words. What good words can she say? I'll listen to you about Xizi's affairs. Let your father-in-law make the decision."

Huang Cuilan smiled and nodded at her.

"Xiao Lan, there's something on my mind that keeps me awake. It's time for your nephew to find a partner. Mom, I just want to be able to hold my grandson in my arms as soon as I'm alive, but it's so difficult..."

Huang Cuilan didn't understand what was said. Her nephew was short, but he wasn't that short of a man. Could he be ill?

Thinking of this, she quickly advised: "Mom, don't worry. If there is any disease, we will treat it well. The child is still young, so there is no need to worry about not having time..."

Huang's mother's mouth dropped open... How could her daughter not understand the hidden meaning? Her eldest grandson was fine, eating three large bowls of rice in one meal. Who said he was sick?

"Oh, silly girl. Your eldest nephew is a good man. I'm going to tell you straight. Please help me to pull some strings and act as a matchmaker. You may not agree to Xizi's matter, but you have to help me with your eldest nephew's matter, otherwise I will not leave."

Huang Cuilan slapped her forehead and said helplessly, "You speak half-heartedly, how can I guess? Whose daughter do you like now? Not the child of a county cadre, I really can't help her with that. Also, you have to have a plan in mind. It's not that I, as an aunt, look down on the child, but he doesn't have a job yet, and it's impossible for someone with too good conditions to agree to him."

Huang's mother rolled her eyes at her with a smile, "How could I not know this? This family's conditions are much worse than ours, and she's a village girl. You can definitely get it done if you ask for it."

"Who is it?" Huang Cuilan asked in confusion.

Huang's mother stared at her daughter's eyes and said word by word: "The little girl of my son-in-law's uncle..."

Huang Cuilan was so scared that she patted her chest before she could finish speaking.

"Why? His family is from the village, how can he treat his daughter unfairly? If that girl wasn't beautiful and had a good job, she wouldn't be worthy of my eldest grandson."

"Yes, Xiaolan. Go and have a good talk with your aunt on behalf of your sister-in-law. I'll give her a big red envelope if it's done. Last time, that girl came to visit your mother-in-law, and your nephew happened to meet her and fell in love with her right away."

Huang Cuilan shook off her mother's hand, poured a bowl of water and quickly drank a few gulps. Looking at the expectant eyes in front of her, she smiled and shook her head.

This is ridiculous! This is crazy!

"What are you laughing at, you silly girl? You don't even want to take care of such a small matter. Do you still have your mother's family in your heart?"

Huang Cuilan smiled and said, "Mom, have you discussed this with Dad?"

Huang's mother turned her head unnaturally and whispered, "What does he, an old man, know?"

Huang Cuilan said to her sister-in-law, "If you had a daughter like this, would you agree to this marriage?"

"You mean, my son is not worthy of their girl?"

Huang Cuilan nodded seriously. "Yes, we are family. To be honest, we are really not a good match. The child's father's two cousins ​​are both regular railway workers. They are only slightly less pretty than Zhou Jiao. We would have been laughed at if we proposed marriage in the past. Some time ago, there was a young official in their unit and a soldier who was a company commander. They both asked someone to be a matchmaker. Do you know what the two girls said?"

"How do you say that?"

"Not interested. The two sisters agreed to help their parents for a few years and not get married until they were 25. They're not happy with such a condition, and you want me to go there and make a fool of myself?"

Huang's mother rolled her eyes. "What a wicked family they are. They keep their daughter to earn money for the family. Let's see who they'll find when she gets older."

Huang Cuilan smiled and sighed, "My two uncles' families aren't that kind of family. That's why I asked them to come over last time because I wanted my mother-in-law to persuade the children. It's all fate. My mother-in-law didn't even need to persuade me. A few days later, the matchmaker came with a letter saying that the parents of the two boys agreed to postpone the wedding for two years and get engaged first."

Huang's mother was very disappointed. "Is it done?"

Huang Cuilan shook her head. "I haven't heard my mother-in-law mention it in the past two weeks. What's so picky about such conditions? It should be a deal. I heard that both parents are very satisfied."

Huang's mother sighed deeply, "If I had known earlier, I would have come to propose marriage sooner."

Huang Cuilan smiled and shook her head. Those two girls were left alone, and she figured even her mother-in-law wouldn't look down on her nephew. But she'd better not say that... it hurts.

Huang's eldest daughter-in-law was stunned for a long time after hearing this. If only her daughter had such a good job and such a good marriage, it would be great.

Then she thought of Xizi's marriage and her promise to help her husband transfer back to the county town after the marriage was completed. She persisted in her persuasion and said, "Little sister, how about I bring my colleague over to meet you tomorrow?"

Huang Cuilan shook her head. "It's useless. If you really want to make this happen, go find my mother-in-law. If she agrees, it might work out."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huang family didn't dare to go see Zhang's mother. She might be kicked out before she even opened her mouth. What a miscalculation. If she had known that her sister-in-law was so useless, she should have let her daughter bring the girl over to play a few more times. Maybe Xizi would have taken a fancy to her.

Seeing that nothing was going to work, Huang's mother left with her eldest daughter-in-law in a gloomy mood. When she left the house, she saw that her daughter hadn't even asked her to bring some food back. She snorted and hurried away with a stern face.

Huang Cuilan felt a little bewildered and scratched her hair. She couldn't understand why her mother's expression had changed so suddenly. She paid no attention to the abundant fruits in the yard.

In her opinion, her mother raised a lot of chickens and ducks in the village in the spring, and her private plots and backyards were full of plants. It was strange for her to come here empty-handed, so how could she think of these ideas?
