Chapter 5: Hiring a stepmother to come home (2/2)



Feng Mian lit the oil lamp outside, opened the door, and saw Zhang standing outside.

"Grandma, it's cold outside, come in and talk."

"good."

As soon as Zhang entered the house, she saw that the main room had changed drastically.

Everywhere was clean and tidy, and there was an ochre-colored coal stove in the house.

Feng Mian brought a stool over and placed it next to the stove for her to sit down and keep warm.

Zhang looked down and said, "This stove is good. Where did you buy it?"

Feng Mian said: "I found it in the city a few days ago. I'm afraid it was thrown away by a rich man in the city who no longer needed it."

"Oh, this good stove is lost. These city people, tsk tsk, they really don't know how to live."

Feng Mian gave a dry laugh.

"I'm here to advise you to relax. We're diligent in our work, so why should we worry about not finding a husband? Once the marriage proposal with the Gu family is cancelled, grandma will ask a matchmaker to find you a better family."

this……

Feng Mian felt that her situation was not suitable for marriage, and it would be more convenient for her to be alone.

Two years later, when she was 20 years old and the domestic economy began to gradually open up, she went out to explore the world.

If you really want to start a family, it would be great to find someone who shares the same ideals after you have achieved success in your career. Why go to the countryside to look for one?

Gossip a lot and be disliked by others.

Of course, she couldn't tell Zhang about her thoughts.

Zhang is a very traditional person. Her daughter was cheated by educated youth from the city, so she hates city people.

Feng Mian thought about it and said to her: "I don't want to get married. I will be bullied if I marry into another family."

Zhang was stunned. "Ah? You don't want to get married?"

"Well, I won't marry."

"Then you can't live alone. If you don't get married, those old bachelors who can't find a wife will come and play hooligans again. You can be quiet for the past six months, or you know that you are engaged to the Gu family."

Feng Mian bought an anti-wolf suit so he is not afraid of the old gangster.

"If they dare to come, I will report them to the police."

"That being said, you can't be a single woman."

Feng Mian: “…” You are really my grandma.

"I... I don't mean I won't get married. I want to find a live-in son-in-law for my family like Sister Feng Kite from the big yard."

"Ah?" Zhang was shocked by her words again. "Your sister Fengzheng was upset that her brother died, and her parents were still waiting for her to take care of them, so she invited a live-in son-in-law. You don't have parents to support, so why are you looking for a live-in son-in-law?"

"I..." Feng Mian choked, and said, "I'm looking for a live-in son-in-law, so that more people can burn incense for my mother on the Qingming Festival."

Zhang: "They have five big tiled houses, what do you have?"

"I have three thatched houses and a plot of land for my own use."

Zhang felt that her words were becoming more and more outrageous. She was just a little girl, but she didn't want to marry into a good family. Instead, she wanted to marry a man who lived in the family as a concubine. She didn't know what to say to her.

"How can your thatched house compare to other people's big tiled houses?"

Feng Mianyu: "There are many people living in his five big tiled houses, including his parents, his grandparents, and his wife. Besides the kitchen and living room, there are only three bedrooms. It's not much better than mine. I'm the only one living in my three thatched houses."

Zhang: “…”

"You're dreaming. Don't blame grandma for saying such depressing things. You have no father or mother, and you're all alone. To put it bluntly, you're doomed to be alone. Who would be willing to give you a son?"

"Families with many sons cannot afford to marry and have no house to live in, so they are always willing to send their sons out to be live-in sons-in-law."

"People would only send their sons to a family like your sister Feng Zheng, unless the son is raised by a stepmother."

Feng Mian: “…”

Originally she just wanted to find an excuse not to get married, but she didn't expect to be ridiculed by Zhang.
