"Okay, they didn't say it to your face, just pretend you don't know for a while. Don't ruin your mother's friendship with her classmates, or you'll get a beating."

"Okay, okay, anyway, I just returned home this year and I don't know anyone, so just call me."

Zhou Yu put all the things into the south room and went into the kitchen to help.

Zhang Jiazhong saw the girl who walked in. She was not short, about 1.65 meters tall, just as his son described, and was a good match for his son.

"Zhou Quan, what is this?"

"Oh, this is my eldest daughter Zhou Yu. Second brother, this is your Uncle Zhang, calling for help."

Zhou Yu called out calmly, "Uncle Zhang."

"Hey! Great, you just got off work?"

Zhou Yu remained silent, and Zhou Quan continued, "I'm off work today. Isn't this the market day? I'm setting up a stall to sell clothes. I want to work and make money at the same time."

"Great! Young people need to be motivated. Our generation either runs out of ideas or lacks the energy to realize them. It's a good thing that children are willing to work hard."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes secretly. "It's none of your business! I just like making money."

The more Zhang Jiazhong looked at it, the more satisfied he became. If his eldest son married the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, he could also take over her business.

When Zhou's mother got off work, she wasn't surprised to see Zhang Jiazhong coming. If he hadn't come, that would have been a surprise! The thoughts in her son's eyes were so obvious.

"Hey! An old classmate is here? You haven't been here for a long time."

"Yes! There have been a lot of things going on at home recently. The third child broke his leg, and we don't have enough money, so we asked Li An to come and borrow some money from you."

"How's the third one? Is he okay? Ryan just said he needed help urgently, but didn't say what happened."

"It's okay now. I've got a cast on and I'm going home to recover. I won't be able to pay back the money in a short time."

"It's okay, just wait until then. The child's health is the most important thing."

At the dinner table, Zhou Xiang and his two siblings ate quietly. It was impossible for them to talk about such things in front of the younger generation.

After dinner, Zhou wanted to ask his second sister to go and have a rest. "Second sister, you have to go to work again tomorrow. Go and have a rest! I'll clean up here."

Zhou Yu put down the dishes in his hand and said, "Then you clean up! I'm going to sleep and I'll make dinner."

"Okay, go ahead!"

Zhou Yu turned around and left.

Mother Zhou pretended to be helpless. "I'm sorry, my daughter hasn't been around since she was a child, so she doesn't understand social interactions very well. It's so rude to just leave."

"It's okay, it's okay. He's just a kid. Just teach him a little bit. He's tired and worked hard."

Zhou Xiang cleared away the dishes, wiped the table, made some tea, and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes, ignoring the flattery exchanged between the adults.

An hour later, Zhou Xiang was dozing off in the pavilion. In a daze, he saw Zhang Jiazhong finally pushing the cart to leave, so he quickly got up.

"Uncle Zhang, are you leaving now?"

"Yeah! Let's go. Think about it. Come to my house when you have time. My brothers Jian and Kang are about the same age as you. We can play together."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we have time."

That's a weird thing to say. You, an honest man, aren't you becoming ambitious? What the hell am I going to do? You have two adobe houses, and six people living in them.

If I were a real child, I would be willing to visit relatives. For example, in my previous life, I did go there to play for a while, running around the village every day. I really didn’t understand what adobe house and a tiled house were, but it was good to have something to play with.

How could this fake child be deceived by you now? Her own house is clean and tidy, but she doesn't live there, and instead lives in your dark house and sleeps on an uncomfortable cold bed?

Watching Zhang Jiazhong ride off on his bicycle, Zhou Xiang grabbed her mother and asked, "What's the result?"

"He proposed it, but I declined. He said young people need to try it out more before they can know if it's suitable for them."

"Mom, this is what you call an honest man? There's something wrong with your vision."

"What's wrong?" Zhou's mother was confused.

"He's clearly retreating to advance. What do you think he meant by saying 'Chuchu'? His son must come often! Wouldn't there be rumors flying around in the family compound? Wouldn't my sister be suffocated to death? He said 'Chuchu', how do you answer?"

"I told him my eldest daughter had her own ideas and wanted to find someone with better conditions in the city. He said that children are immature and adults need to be more careful."

"Then what?"

"I said it's the child who's going to make the difference, not me. I'll only consider it if the child agrees."

Zhou Xiang slammed the table. "Oh my god! Isn't it just a favor you owe him? Why don't you tell him flatly that you won't consider rural people? Pay him back with something else, like money or find a job for his son, even if it's just a temporary one."

Doesn't his son just want to fly out? How can you say that? Isn't it giving his son a chance? Just watch, his son will definitely come to pester the second sister. "

Zhou's mother didn't believe it. "People need to be proud, and trees need to be barked. I've said this much, and his family still has some ideas?"

"No, as long as I can fly out and find a good stock, what does face matter? I've earned back all my face by marrying my second sister."

"Is that true?" Zhou's mother was suspicious.

"If that's the case, only you and my dad like to suffer for the sake of face."

"What should I do then? How about I offer to help his son find a job?"

"I guess it's too late. Uncle Zhang said that and he won't give up. My sister has a job and can earn money by setting up a stall. In his family's eyes, she is a golden phoenix. They won't be willing to give her up for a temporary job unless you promise to find her a formal job."

Zhou's mother said disdainfully: "He's from the countryside and has no special skills. How can I find him a formal job? Why doesn't he go to heaven?"

"For his family, marrying my sister is like reaching heaven in one step."

"It's so annoying." Zhou's mother said helplessly.

"Haha, who told you and dad to hang out with people from the countryside? Now you've become fat meat in their eyes, right?"

"You're still gloating! Hurry up and help me think of a solution!"

"What's so difficult about this? Just find a good match for my second sister right away in the city! Let his family give up."

"Not to mention where to find him in such a short time, even if we find him, will his family just give up?"

"At least with the city folks to compare him to, Zhang Li'an, that so-called top student, looks like trash. If the person he's looking for is not bad, Zhang Li'an's height of 170cm, dark skin, and ordinary looks should have put him off, right?"

"Anyway, this is the only solution you have. However, where can we find someone at this moment?"

"Yeah! Where can I find one? Besides, my second sister won't do it! I don't think she has any intention of finding a partner right now, so let's take it one step at a time! Even if you reject her outright, her family will be interested and won't give up easily."

After Zhou Yu got up, he heard what his sister said and said indifferently, "If he dares to pester me, don't blame me for not giving him face. He's just a poor high school student from the countryside, and you treat him like a treasure. Whoever wants him can pick him up. Anyway, I don't want him."
