Xiao Jianwen's face was extremely grim.
He knew the Shen family was humiliating him, but he couldn't bring himself to speak up and stop them.
The gate was open, and several burly men were guarding outside with two children and three chickens. Passersby thought something had happened to the Xiao family and peeked around.
If he talks too much, he'll be too ashamed to stay in the compound.
Xiao's mother was very resentful; she had been pregnant for ten months, and her second son clearly had the opportunity to help the family, but...
But she also knew that if she insisted on preventing her second son from being with Zheng Ailing, she would be arrested the next moment, and her husband's and her eldest son's future would be ruined.
My youngest son and daughter will graduate next year, and they might have to go to the countryside, which would be a loss for them.
Having successfully obtained his household registration booklet, Xiao Zhengguo's face was beaming with joy, ignoring his mother's sharp glare and his siblings' complaints.
From now on, he's a member of the Zheng family, hehehe.
Zheng Ailing was moved to tears, but his silly appearance completely ruined her composure.
"Be normal, you still have to go back to see my parents."
"Honey, I'm so happy, I can finally take care of you and the baby openly and honestly."
That evening, Chen's mother brought a bag of milk candy and a bunch of bananas to the Xiao family's house.
"Shishi, this is from Xiao Zhengguo and Zheng Ailing. They're thanking you for helping them find a way out. They got their marriage certificate, and I heard that the Zheng family elders were so happy that they handed out wedding candy throughout the entire residential compound."
Mother Shen first put down the young couple's thank-you gifts, then put down another net bag containing two cans of malted milk powder.
"Auntie also thanks you for helping Yimei. Shishi, your sister Yimei is on an island, why don't you help her find a boyfriend?"
Shishi had a piece of candy in her mouth. It was a simple lollipop made by her eighth sister-in-law, Chen Jing. It was made by mixing brown sugar syrup with sour jujube paste and solidifying it into a block. It was sweet and sour and very delicious.
With sticks to hold it up, eating was very convenient. Nannan also held one and licked it, and the two would occasionally touch each other as a toast.
Hearing the first part of her words, I felt happy for the newlyweds, but then I became a little curious about the second part: "Isn't Sister Chen going back to Beijing?"
Although I really want another high-quality customer, I also know that Beijing is better than the island.
Many of the soldiers on the island even come from rural areas. Is it okay for a family like the Shen family to marry a girl from the countryside, or for her to marry into the countryside?
Of course, Shen's mother hoped that her daughter would have a good future. Before she came, her mother-in-law had a talk with her.
When looking for a husband, one should seek one with good character who loves his wife. A man who loves his wife will prosper. Birth is just the starting point; the destination reached through courageous struggle is the highlight of life.
The story of Xiao Zhengguo and Zheng Ailing inspired her.
Xiao Zhengguo is just a lowly factory worker now, but he is responsible, upright, and not influenced by his family background. Who dares to say that he won't meet a benefactor and soar to great heights in the future?
Based on the trip her husband took Xiao Zhengguo on, she believed that Xiao's luck would soon come.
Beijing is indeed a city that produces a great deal of talent; any one of the children of high-ranking officials is an outstanding individual.
But who can guarantee what kind of wolves and tigers dwell in the heart of a seemingly respectable young master?
Just like the eldest son of the Xiao family, who appears to be a gentleman but actually betrays his brother for personal gain.
Once you enter a relationship, it's for life. Rather than spending your whole life testing someone's character, it's better to find someone of excellent character from the start.
Life is too short to afford to take risks.
Shishi's pure eyes seem to see right through people's hearts. With her overseeing things, I'm sure it won't be bad.
“Yi Mei’s job is being transferred, so she won’t be traveling by train anymore. If she does find a job in another city, my Shen family can also help Yi Mei change her work environment.”
"Shishi, I believe you can find a good partner for Yimei. If it works out, I'll give you a big red envelope."
This is the confidence that comes from having connections.
With another major client added, Shishi immediately made a decision, "I'm good at this, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
"Hahaha, Ugly, Little Master, I won! I finally beat you all."
A group of children were playing a game of tag. Chou Chou and Xiao Shi were invincible in the Xiao family, defeating all the nephews.
Relying on his large size and defying all odds, Zhou Yan, itching to join the crutches-fighting army, instead of the others bumping into his knees, he "took a different approach" and bumped into his arms.
Actually, it's because he's tall that he can't bump into the knees of Chou Chou and Xiao Shi, who are both short and stocky.
Ugly and Little Master were so angry that they surrendered, and he considered himself the winner.
Xiao Xiangbei rubbed his forehead.
He is Shishi's tenth brother, and I am the eighth brother. The only difference is the number two, but I really feel that this person is very silly.
You're so happy to win over a child; you've really made something of yourself.
"Brother, you should compete with him. We can't let the Xiao family lose face."
Xiao Xiangbei invited his older brother, Xiao Xiangnan, to help.
As a soldier, he wouldn't bully the weak.
Xiao Xiangnan was in politics and sat in an office every day, so in Xiao Xiangbei's eyes he was also among the weak.
Two minutes later, Zhou Yan was defeated.
Zhou Yan, clutching his aching knee, refused to lose face, determined to uphold his principles.
"Okay, you're the older brother, I'm the younger one, it's only right that I give way to you."
Shishi couldn't stand it anymore. "Tenth Brother, be more capable. If you can't win, call for backup. Don't stubbornly resist. Chou Dan, you go."
The obedient man stepped forward, his robust physique directly overshadowing Xiao Xiangnan.
"Hey, hey, that won't do. My brother-in-law is so big, I can't beat him. Sister, don't bully Fifth Brother."
Xiao Xiangnan was self-aware.
He exercises regularly, which is enough to deal with someone like Zhou Yan, who spends most of his time in the lab, but against a well-trained elite, he couldn't beat even ten of them.
Zhou Yan felt like he had found his tribe. "Brother-in-law, come on, I'll team up with you, and Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother will team up. Let's take them down."
After thinking for a moment, he threw Xiao Xiangbei, who had already stepped out of line, aside and pulled Yun Yousheng over.
“Brother Ba, you are disabled, so you need to know how to protect your personal safety. At the same time, you are also responsible for your wife and two nephews. Go aside and watch us show our prowess.”
