Talking about this topic could easily cause a heart attack, so Zhou Hongyu shook her head: "Let the young people do what they want. Maybe they won't get married. Anyway, I can't control it!"
Sister Sun exclaimed in surprise: "Are you crazy? A college student is coming to be your daughter-in-law! You've hit the jackpot!"
"Then I need to be able to marry a college student and make her my daughter-in-law. We've already agreed to get a marriage certificate, but suddenly they're requiring us to buy a house before we can get the certificate!"
Zhou Hongyu spread her hands helplessly.
"I haven't saved much money over the years, even if I sold myself, I still couldn't afford a house!"
"Buy a house!" Sister Sun's eyes widened. Goodness gracious, I never knew college students were so hard to please.
Zhou Hongyu's husband's family lived in a detached house with spacious living conditions. As soon as Chang Pengfei started working, many people asked him to help inquire about her, but he only stopped thinking about it after he found out that the person she was dating was a college student.
Sister Sun clicked her tongue: "Then how are you going to manage? Borrow some money from someone? Although our family isn't wealthy, we can still scrape together five hundred if you just ask... If you think five hundred is too little, I'll think of a way to get you eight hundred, eight hundred at most, that's all!"
Knowing that Sister Sun's family was not short of money, Zhou Hongyu appreciated her kindness but did not intend to borrow money from her.
"I don't need it right now, so I'm asking you to lend it to me. And she might not even be my daughter-in-law!"
"You don't want it? I thought you were just saying that out of anger. She's a college student..."
"So what if he's a college student? Our family is too small to accommodate such a big shot. It's just not meant to be. I'm afraid that even if I sell everything I own to buy a house, that's just the beginning. I don't dare to have such troublesome in-laws!"
"Too……"
When Zhou Hongyu arrived home, Chang Meiying had already been picked up from the juvenile delinquency training center by Granny Chang, who had gone to buy groceries.
"Mom!" Chang Meiying came running over with a smile and a skip.
Zhou Hongyu smiled and patted her head, then handed the lunchbox she had brought back to Granny Chang: "The new chef at the factory is quite skilled. I thought it was good, so I bought some for you to try!"
Granny Chang complained, "I already bought the groceries, and you brought them back from the cafeteria. Be careful with your money; the children are growing up, and there will be many more expenses later!"
"Grandma, I want to eat the food my mom brought back from the cafeteria!"
"Alright, alright, go get a small bowl. Grandma will give you some, and we can eat the rest together at dinner!"
After distributing the lunchboxes to Chang Meiying, Granny Chang put them in the cupboard and winked at Chang Hongbing's room.
"The eldest son and his wife had a fight with Huaying!"
Oh, so it must be because Hua Ying wouldn't let Chen Zhaodi ruin her body, and Chen Zhaodi was only interested in money, so they argued.
"Huaying told them to work less and be careful not to overwork themselves, but the eldest daughter-in-law wouldn't listen and even threatened to hit them. Hongbing chimed in, and Huaying couldn't argue with them, so she went to stay in the dormitory crying!"
Wow, this couple is quite impressive!
Zhou Hongyu rolled up her sleeves: "My good intentions have been wasted. I'm going to give those two guys a piece of my mind!"
"Hongyu, don't make things worse!"
Granny Chang pulled her back: "It's not just this one thing, but also that Huaying isn't hurrying to find a partner and get married. You should really keep quiet about this!"
The things that hold Chang Hongbing and his wife back: their eldest son's college entrance exam and their youngest daughter's marriage.
Zhou Hongyu cursed inwardly: "Still so energetic, it's not time to cry yet!"
Granny Chang could only sigh: "All four of them are stubborn. They've been arguing and bickering, but they haven't accomplished anything great!"
After saying that, Granny Chang sent Zhou Hongyu back to her room to put her things away.
She brought the groceries she bought to the kitchen doorway, picking them while talking to Zhou Hongyu from time to time.
Zhou Hongyu changed her clothes and came out of the room. Granny Chang patted the person next to her, gesturing for her to sit down, and whispered:
“Hongyu, when will you go to the Wu family again to talk? We can’t keep dragging this on! Although the Wu family’s behavior is unsightly, the two children are innocent. At this point, perhaps our family should take a step back…”
Zhou Hongyu picked vegetables without looking up: "Oh, I've been busy. Buying a house isn't something that can be done in a day or two."
hehe.
Whether the Wu family gets married or not is up to them.
The Wu family tricked her eldest son into becoming crippled, leaving her to live a miserable life in her later years, forced to live on the streets and scavenge for a living. Zhou Hongyu is no saint, and she holds a grudge!
Zhou Hongyu used the tactic of stalling to deal with the elderly Chang couple who were still concerned about the matter.
Granny Chang nodded: "Buying a house is a top priority, it can't be done casually, it's something you'll live in for a lifetime."
Zhou Hongyu didn't want to talk about this anymore and asked, "Mom, where did Dad go?"
Granny Chang snorted, "He's either playing chess or drinking tea, who knows him!"
After Zhou Hongyu finished helping Granny Chang pick vegetables, Chen Zhaodi came out of the room with a gloomy face and snatched the vegetable basket from her: "Mom, you rest, I'll cook dinner!"
Granny Chang paused, then asked, "Not working the night shift today?"
"I'm not going anymore. Hongbing said he'll take a day off."
Zhou Hongyu watched Chen Zhaodi rush into the kitchen and muttered to herself.
Now that she's obedient, why did they scold their sweet little daughter and send her away? This couple is really awkward.
Dinner was so-so; Chen Zhaodi's cooking skills were mediocre, and everyone turned their chopsticks towards the dishes that Zhou Hongyu had packed from the cafeteria.
Chang Hongbing and his wife ate with gloomy faces because of their argument that afternoon.
This made everyone hesitant to comment on tonight's dinner.

On the other side.
After getting off work, Chang Pengfei first went to the grocery store to buy pig ears, which his father-in-law liked; pork belly, which his mother-in-law liked; and braised beef, which his brother-in-law liked…
After a bunch of Wu family favorites, they rushed off to pick up Wu Minjun.
"Minjun, I'm here!"
Wu Minjun, who was saying goodbye to her colleagues, smiled and nodded: "My boyfriend is here, I'll be going now!"
"Okay, Minjun, see you tomorrow..."
After she left, her colleagues gathered together and started talking.
