Mother Cheng glanced at Cheng Jiawen and asked calmly, "Remember to tell the Xu family later that I will find a matchmaker to propose marriage this afternoon."
Cheng Jiawen nodded, "I understand, mother."
"Yeah." When Cheng's mother heard him say this, she nodded indifferently, and then she didn't say anything else. She just lowered her head and ate her breakfast.
When the other people at the dinner table heard that Cheng's father and mother really agreed to let Cheng Jiawen marry Xu Qianjiao, they all had their own thoughts in their minds. They lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other quietly.
Mrs. Cheng lowered her head and frantically gestured to Brother Cheng to ask Father and Mother Cheng what they meant. Brother Cheng glanced at her, then lowered his head indifferently, pretending not to see it.
Mrs. Cheng was so angry that her expression turned ferocious. She took a deep breath, put on a faint smile, and asked gently, "Dad, Mom, is the fourth son really going to marry the daughter of the Xu family's second wife?"
Mother Cheng glanced at her and replied indifferently, "Yeah."
When Mrs. Cheng heard the confirmation, her hands under the table tugged at her pants tightly, and the smile on her face faded slightly. "Isn't this too unfair to our fourth child? I heard that Xu Qianjiao was raised very spoiled by her parents and can't do any work."
How could Cheng's father and mother agree to let the fourth son marry Xu Qianjiao? She's so spoiled. If he marries her, he'll not only have to support the fourth son, but also his wife. That's a huge loss.
Cheng's mother was furious. She looked at Cheng Jiawen and said unhappily, "Ask him. He insists on marrying her."
Cheng Jiawen scratched his head and said shyly, "Sister-in-law, I just like her. I won't marry anyone else except her."
Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes and complained silently in her heart: Come on, come on, you are so precious and you still like me. How many people get married nowadays because they like each other? It’s not because they are suitable for each other. Everyone is just living together.
He can't even support himself, and he still talks about supporting a wife. In the end, we have to support her.
She took a deep breath and turned to look at Cheng's mother. "Mom, do you also agree that the fourth child will marry Xu Qianjiao?"
She simply couldn't believe that Cheng's mother was so snobbish that she would let Cheng Jiawen marry a woman who was of no help to the family. It was impossible, unless they had reached some conditions.
Mother Cheng glanced at Mrs. Cheng and cursed in her heart: This shortsighted thing is only focused on the petty profits in front of her. I was thinking of announcing the news after they got married, but now she can't wait to ask.
What will outsiders think of our family when they hear it?
Mother Cheng sighed and pretended to be helpless as she explained, "When the fourth child gets married, we'll separate. Now that everyone has their own family, living together will easily lead to conflicts. It would be better to separate. But remember, even if we separate, we're still a family."
When Mrs. Cheng heard this unexpected good news, she was surprised and asked, "Mom, are you telling the truth?"
When Cheng Ersao heard the news, she was also surprised. She didn't ask, but looked at Cheng's mother expectantly. Seeing them like this, Cheng's mother felt a mouthful of blood in her heart. She glared at the two of them and said through gritted teeth, "Really?"
After hearing the confirmed news, Mrs. Cheng Da and Mrs. Cheng Er were completely unable to hold back. God knows how long they had been waiting for this day. Now the daughter-in-law has finally become the mother-in-law, and the family has finally been divided.
Seeing them like this, Cheng's mother forced a sarcastic smile in her heart. Let these two short-sighted people be happy for a while, and then they will know.
After breakfast, everyone went to work, and those who needed to find a matchmaker went to find a matchmaker. As soon as Cheng Jiawen finished breakfast, he ran out.
He hid all the way to the mountain, took out the prey he had hidden last night, put it in a backpack, and then put two bags of candy on it to cover it up. After that, he went straight to Xu's house.
-------------------------------------
He stood at the door of Xu's house, took a deep breath, tidied his hair and clothes that were messed up by the wind, and then walked into the door of Xu's house with a solemn expression.
Now there is no one in the Xu family except the second wife's family. The first wife had gone out to work a long time ago, and Xu's father and mother knew that Cheng Jiawen was coming today, so they specially asked the team leader for an hour's leave to wait for him at home.
When Cheng Jiawen walked into the Xu family, he saw Xu's father and mother sitting in the yard. He paused, took a deep breath, and walked up to them. "Uncle, aunt, I came here today to ask you to marry Comrade Xu Qianjiao. I want to be her revolutionary partner. I hope you can agree." After that, he bowed to the two of them at a ninety-degree angle.
Xu's father and mother smiled faintly. Xu's mother stood up and helped Cheng Jiawen up. "Come on, get up first, and then we'll talk."
Cheng Jiawen stood up with the help of Xu's mother. Xu's mother glanced at Xu Qianjiao who was standing next to him and said lightly, "Go and get a stool."
Xu Qianjiao glanced at Cheng Jiawen, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, with a slight shyness on her face. She nodded quickly, then ran to the room, moved a stool and walked towards Cheng Jiawen.
When Cheng Jiawen saw her coming over with the stool, he subconsciously reached out to take it. Their eyes met, and a faint blush appeared on their faces. He took the stool, touched his nose, and whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Xu Qianjiao said quickly with a shy look on her face and stood back next to Xu's father and mother.
Mother Xu looked at Xu Qianjiao beside her and said calmly, "Jiaojiao, it's time for you to go to work."
Xu Qianjiao looked puzzled and said, "It's not time yet. I'll go later."
"Go now, the sooner you go, the sooner you'll come back." Xu's mother gave her a warning look and said in a serious tone.
