"Mom." Zhou Shijie was anxious. "I don't remember any cousin Xiaofen, and I don't like her. I only like Lin Shu."
"Look, the son is almost forgetting his mother even though he hasn't even married his daughter-in-law yet," Zhang Hongmei said angrily.
"The son forgot his mother?" Zhou Aimin, who had just returned, asked, "How can you say that?"
Zhou Shijie hurriedly explained to Zhou Aimin.
"I think so," Zhou Aimin said. "We've watched Lin Shu grow up. She's got a good temper and is pretty. I heard she's a good student and can even treat illnesses."
Zhou Aimin raised his hand and patted Zhou Shijie on the shoulder: "You have good taste, kid."
Then he turned to Zhang Hongmei and said, "Please ask Lin Shu's parents. Let's not talk about Lin Shu. Just look at Lin Shu's family conditions. It would be a blessing for your son to marry her."
Zhang Hongmei looked gloomy, opened her mouth but said nothing.
Zhou Shijie jumped up excitedly after hearing this: "Thank you, Dad."
When Zhang Hongmei saw this, the smile on her face became even uglier.
That night, Zhang Hongmei lay in bed, the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She absolutely couldn't marry Lin Shu into the family. Looking at these two, would she still have a place in the family if she married him?
The next morning.
Zhang Hongmei walked out of the door under Zhou Shijie's expectant gaze.
"Good morning, Sister Li, are you going out to buy groceries too?" Zhang Hongmei asked Li Hongying when she saw her carrying a basket on her arm.
"Yes, Mrs. Zhang." Li Hongying greeted her with a smile.
"I heard that your Zhou Shijie is looking for a wife?" Li Hongying asked in a low voice.
Zhang Hongmei was just worrying about how to bring up this topic, and she quickly said, "Yes, let me tell you, there are so many girls who like my Shijie." As she said that, she puffed out her chest and glanced at Li Hongying proudly.
"Your family's Shijie is indeed outstanding." Li Hongying said with a smile.
Zhang Hongmei looked very proud and continued, "As for a daughter-in-law, we need to choose someone who is capable and virtuous, not a delicate young lady. Most importantly, she needs to be strong and sturdy. Don't you agree, sister?"
"Yes, yes." Li Hongying agreed.
"Oh, what a pity." Zhang Hongmei shook her head.
"What a pity?" Li Hongying asked.
"Your daughter is not suitable for my Zhou Shijie."
Li Hongying opened her eyes wide, looking confused.
"Sister Li, let me tell you something," Zhang Hongmei continued, "You can't spoil your daughter too much. It's like every family chooses a delicate daughter-in-law, right?"
Li Hongying looked as if she had suddenly understood something.
"Don't worry about my daughter." Li Hongying interrupted Zhang Hongmei and said angrily, "She is indeed not suitable for your Shijie."
Zhang Hongmei stood there, looking very proud. Without her consent, it was impossible to enter her house.
Afterwards, Zhang Hongmei caught up with Li Hongying again.
"Hey, let me tell you..." Zhang Hongmei followed Li Hongying's increasingly faster pace.
