It's normal for two people to have some differences when they go on a blind date, but the difference can't be too outrageous, right?
Xiang Lili curled her lips. "It seems like these people are just attracted to Li Tao's job. I told her not to listen to these matchmakers anymore and to find someone with similar conditions to talk to."
Having been exploited by Xian Baogen and Gou Fugui successively, Li Tao certainly did not want to get married, as she was afraid that her life would be in danger.
But the Li family would not let Li Tao off. They would come to the county town to beg for money whenever they had nothing to do, forcing her to remarry and receive a betrothal gift. Otherwise, they would go to the factory and make a fuss to give the job to their younger brother.
The Xiang family helped her keep her job, but Li's parents asked her to pay alimony. She couldn't refuse, right?
In desperation, she could only live frugally and hand over half of her salary, living a tight life.
In a situation like this, the Xiang family is unable to intervene and help. It is only natural for parents to ask their daughter for support. Even if they feel that taking half of the salary is too much, they are powerless to get it back.
He could only send some food to Li Tao and her daughter, and avoid the Li family.
After a long period of hardship, Li Tao thought it would be better to marry a normal man. Once they had a family, her parents wouldn't have to interfere with her salary, and she could get out of her predicament.
After all, two workers can support Li Rongen and have two or three more children, so they can definitely afford it.
In this situation, the matchmaker seized the opportunity to sell Li Tao as a resource to various men with disabilities in an attempt to earn the matchmaker fee.
In an unequal marriage like this, if the matchmaker successfully brings the couple together, she can at least receive a red envelope of more than six yuan from the man.
Even if Li Tao's colleagues came to introduce her enthusiastically, they were just treating her as a favor, assigning her to someone who wanted to get close to her, so that a favor would make things easier in the future.
Xiang Lili didn't dare to advise her too much regarding this important matter in her life. She couldn't let her live out her life alone, right?
Even with her niece Li Rongen, Li Tao has no security. Finding a man to marry and supporting each other in life is in line with the mainstream thinking of today's society.
The main reason is that her family is not very supportive. If Li Tao had any love for her daughter, she would not have looked for a man to live with.
Zhang Jidi hesitated and said, "I do have a good candidate, but I don't know if Li Taotong agrees."
She simply wanted to introduce a good man to Li Tao because one of her colleagues had a good character but had never found a wife, so she asked everyone to help find a wife.
Xiang Lili glanced sideways when she heard the voice: "Mom, where did you find such a good candidate?"
She was still quite surprised. She didn't expect that Zhang Jidi would also pay attention to such matters as marriage between men and women.
Because ever since she decided to marry Yin Gan, Zhang Jidi rejected all the matchmakers who proposed to Xiang Mianmian and said that he would not interfere in his youngest daughter's marriage.
Some people said that when they were rejected in marriage, they became angry and gossiped. Xiang Mianmian ran around teaching, and the woman was restless and didn't stay at home. Such a person should not be married.
Less than a day after the news was released, three generations of the family, from parents to nephews, were taught a lesson one after another, and they became obedient.
Zhang Jidi pursed his lips and said embarrassedly: "This is not a conversation, let's talk about this."
I don’t know if it’s because she’s getting older, but she likes to match men and women up, and will unconsciously collect information about men and women of the right age, even if she hasn’t found a suitable matchmaker.
Maybe people feel lonely and want to add a new member to the family to make it more lively and festive.
Even if it is not your own wedding, but someone else's wedding, you can still share in the joy and feel that life is full of happiness.
Xiang Lili still believed in her mother's judgment: "If this person is good, then introduce him to Li Tao. I don't want to talk about her blind dates."
In the matchmaker's words, he has only one good point: honesty.
When you really have no way to praise a man, you can only say that he is honest. This is a panacea word, anyway, it is a common phrase for praising people.
It is almost the same as saying that he is male, stating the facts but going against reason.
Zhang Jidi thought about the man for a moment. "He's quite tall, much taller than Li Tao, and seems to have a good temper. He has a regular job at a coal mine, but..."
Xiang Lili was quite satisfied when she heard the previous conditions, but she knew it was bad when she heard this.
Under his daughter's silent questioning, Zhang Jidi said stubbornly, "It's just that he has an unreliable father, and his family tradition is quite bad..."
The man she was talking about was called Lian Rending, the youngest son in the family. He should have been pampered and his mother should have arranged all the marriage matters.
As a result, just as he was about to get married, his mother suddenly passed away.
He wanted to observe etiquette and went to his future father-in-law's house to explain that he had to observe three years of mourning, and the wedding had to be held either within a hundred days or three years later.
Generally speaking, the in-laws can understand such sudden emergencies and will most likely get married within 100 days.
Although Lian Rendong wanted to marry his fiancée Zhu Xiu very much, he did not want to marry her in this way. He did not go to Zhu's house to discuss it until after the seventh day.
