Chen Zhaodi was startled by Huang Jianjun and asked helplessly, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Hearing Huang Jianjun's exclamation, Xu Weiguo remembered who he was and said happily, "It's you! Wasn't that Qinqin who went to the police station with you to report the case last time?"
Huang Jianjun nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes! That's my little sister."
"I didn't expect we'd met so early! Our two families are really destined to be together!" Xu Weiguo recalled the last time he met Huang Qinqin, and he felt even more satisfied with the marriage.
He had a good impression of Huang Jianjun and Huang Qinqin at the police station last time, and Huang Qinqin was very patient and attentive to Nuonuo at that time.
He's so patient with a stranger's child; I'm sure he'll be even better to his family. At the very least, they won't be difficult to get along with.
At this moment, Huang Qinqin also came out of the kitchen. When she saw Xu Weiguo, she was also a little surprised.
The Chen family knew about this, so they understood as soon as they heard it.
However, the Xu family members all looked bewildered and couldn't understand what they were saying at all.
Zhang Yumei had no choice but to ask directly, "Is there something we don't know? How come Qinqin and Jianjun have met my husband Lao Xu before?"
"I'm totally confused by what I'm hearing, (☉_☉)"
Xu Weiguo then recounted what had happened to them.
After hearing this, Zhang Yumei beamed with joy and held Chen Zhaodi's hand, praising her repeatedly, "You've raised the child so well!"
"When Qinqin helped me before, I felt that she was a kind-hearted girl who was easy to get along with, and now it seems that I was right!"
"And Jianjun too. Nowadays, many young people are unwilling to help others when they encounter problems because they are afraid of getting into trouble!"
Chen Zhaodi was also very proud, but she still maintained a humble demeanor: "Not at all, yours are very good too. Look how well-behaved Hongxia is, and so is Junhui!"
The others got goosebumps listening to them praising each other, so the men started looking for something to do.
Xu Junhui, after obtaining permission from Huang Qinqin's parents, went into the kitchen to help her prepare lunch. After all, there were quite a few people eating lunch today, so preparing was quite tiring.
As soon as he entered, he saw Huang Qinqin struggling with the pork. After washing his hands, Xu Junhui went straight over and took the knife from her.
He asked, "Are you planning to make braised pork? Let me cut it."
"Okay, then you can cut it for me. I'll prepare the other vegetables first. Don't cut them too big, just cut them into pieces about the size of two fingers."
Huang Qinqin would never say she didn't need his help; she was indeed a bit tired cooking so many dishes by herself.
If it weren't for Xu Junhui and the others, Huang Qinqin would have already called her two older brothers in to help; she wouldn't have taken on everything herself.
Since everyone eats together anyway, she can do more, but there's no need for her to do everything herself.
However, Huang Qinqin was very happy that Xu Junhui took the initiative to come in and help. She could actually hear what they were saying outside from the kitchen.
Xu Junhui is willing to help now, so after she marries him, he should also help with housework. Even if he doesn't take the initiative, she will find a way to get him to help.
Huang Qinqin completely disagrees with the saying: "Men are in charge of external affairs and women are in charge of internal affairs." Most people think that women should take care of all the housework, as if women should serve them. Bah!
Even in the residential compound, if the men help out with household matters, big or small, the relationship between the parents will be much more harmonious.
On the other hand, if a woman works like an ox, doing everything herself, big or small, her family will almost never respect her.
They simply take it for granted that women should serve men. But do women really want to serve them willingly?
Perhaps some of them are willing, but most are not. Over time, they will harbor resentment, but they dare not vent their anger on the men in the family.
What will happen in the end? She will vent her resentment on her daughter, and then justify it by saying: It's all for her own good. Which woman doesn't have to work after marriage? It's all so that they won't be disliked by their in-laws after marriage.
Pooh!
It's because they're not doing well themselves, and they don't want their daughters to have it easy either! This endless cycle continues, which is why women's status in the family never improves.
......
Chen Ermei waited at the entrance of the family compound today to confirm whether Xu Junhui and his family had really come.
When they actually arrived, Chen Ermei immediately went to find Xu Jingui. She absolutely could not marry before Huang Qinqin!
"Brother Xu, I just saw your cousin and his family go to Huang Qinqin's house. They're probably there to discuss the wedding!"
Chen Ermei continued coyly, "Look, we've been engaged for so many days now, why don't we discuss when to get married?"
"Of course, I'm not pressuring you. It's just that I don't want your cousin to get married before us, otherwise it would be embarrassing, don't you think?"
After saying that, he waited cautiously for Xu Jingui's reply.
When Xu Jingui first heard Chen Ermei speak, he felt very angry, not because Xu Junhui and the others were discussing marriage.
It was because he had just been humiliated at Xu Junhui's house yesterday and had been scolded by his father when he got back.
They said it was all because he didn't tell the truth that they were in such a passive position and that his whole family had lost face!
Xu Jingui was extremely resentful, but he didn't dare to say anything because he still needed his father's financial support; otherwise, his two sons would have a hard time supporting themselves on his salary alone.
However, Chen Ermei's next words gave him an idea. Since Xu Junhui's family didn't give him any face, he would make them lose face too!
He said perfunctorily to Chen Ermei, "Alright, I understand. I'll discuss it with my parents first. You can go back now."
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Ermei's approval, he turned around, went home, and closed the door.
When Chen Ermei saw Xu Jingui go straight back, she stomped her foot in anger. She felt that something was wrong; it seemed that Xu Jingui didn't like her at all.
But I comforted myself by thinking that things would be better once I got married, and that it was probably because I wasn't married yet.
Once they get married, she'll appease Xu Jingui's two sons, and she'll definitely live a good life!
After Xu Jingui returned home, he found his father and told him his thoughts: "Dad, I heard that Xu Junhui and his wife went to propose marriage today. Why don't we find out in the next couple of days when they get married?"
Xu Weimin looked at Xu Jingui and asked casually, "Why are we asking about this? What does it have to do with us when they get married?"
