One happy event after another greatly spurred Chen Zhaodi to the brink of despair. She was determined to drag Chang Huaying back from the factory and drag her to the matchmaking table!
Chen Zhaodi proudly revealed her plan.
Zhou Hongyu finally stopped what she was doing and rolled her eyes at her.
"Can't you stop messing around with your daughter...?"
"What did you say?" Chen Zhaodi kept laughing and didn't hear her clearly for a moment.
Zhou Hongyu shook her head slightly: "I say, compared to Huaying, your Yaozu should be the one who's getting anxious!"
Chen Zhaodi was immediately furious: "Who says otherwise! But he's disappeared! There's no sign of him even though it's almost New Year's! Even Zhou Bing abandoned his work in Guangdong Province to come back for the New Year! But we can't find him!"
Zhou Hongyu guessed that Chang Yaozu should be staying with Chen Zhaodi's future daughter-in-law now.
Speaking of Chen Zhaodi's future daughter-in-law, Zhou Hongyu could only admire her; she was a master at turning a bad hand into a winning one.
Unfortunately, it was the Chang family members who were causing trouble on their path to advancement, so the two sides could only be enemies!
Chen Zhaodi continued, "His father, his parents, and I have been urging him to find a girlfriend for the past few years, but he's been using preparing for the college entrance exam as an excuse to refuse to do anything. College entrance exam, indeed! Instead of preparing for the exam, he's just disappeared!"
A few years ago, given the Chang family's spacious housing, Granny Chen would have guaranteed to find a partner for her grandson, or at the very least, find a daughter from a rural family in another province.
Now that Chang Yaozu is getting older, he is still fixated on the college entrance examination and has accomplished nothing. Granny Chen doesn't like to mention it anymore. She even said that if Chen Zhaodi wants her to help introduce girls, she should first give her two hundred yuan as a running fee.
Chen Zhaodi sometimes couldn't help but wonder if her son would be unable to find a wife in the future.
Then she should urge Huaying to get married even more!
Hua Ying got married and had children, so even if Yao Zu couldn't find a wife in the future, he would have something to look forward to.
If Zhou Hongyu knew what she was thinking, she would definitely slap her on the head a few times.
You deserve to worry about your children's marriages every day!
Chen Zhaodi often complained in the store about how hard it was for her daughter to find a partner. All the employees in the store had met Chang Huaying, a girl with outstanding qualities. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case, unless she herself didn't want to find a partner!
On one occasion, when Chen Zhaodi brought it up again, Wen Zhixin glanced at Wang Qiang, another male employee in the store, and nervously straightened his clothes.
Wu Xiufang immediately guessed his thoughts and a mocking smile appeared on her face.
Wen Zhixin straightened his chest: "What's so funny! If Sister Chen and Comrade Chang both take a liking to me, I'll be set for life!"
Anyone can do this lowly shop assistant job; I'll go live the good life!
Full of confidence, Wen Zhixin approached Chen Zhaodi and offered himself up. Not to brag, but he was exceptionally good-looking and had never lacked suitors since childhood.
However, Chen Zhaodi rejected him with great disdain!
Wen Zhixin couldn't keep her composure for a moment and kept asking, "Sister Chen, I'm so great, yet you still don't like me. What kind of son-in-law do you want?"
Chen Zhaodi looked down on him: "You? What's so great about you! Besides being good-looking, you're good for nothing. Your job is so-so, and you're still working for a private boss. My daughter has a secure job. If she married you, you could support a whole family!"
Wen Zhixin was somewhat speechless, but still tried to save face: "You can't say that, my salary is quite high..."
The salary is indeed high!
As a boss, Zhou Hongyu never hesitates to pay high salaries to her employees as long as they can demonstrate their value.
Wen Zhixin, the worst-performing employee in the store, earns about the same monthly salary as his father, who has worked as a factory worker for half his life.
Chen Zhaodi shouted, "What's the use of a high salary? Why don't you mention your heavy burden! Don't you even know how many children you have! How much of your salary will you be able to give to your new family after you get married!"
Wen Zhixin was completely speechless, which was precisely his sore spot.
I only keep a few dollars for food each month, and hand over the rest to support my family.
Chen Zhaodi had a whole host of reasons for disliking Wen Zhixin, and she kept going on and on.
Wu Xiufang and Wang Qiang exchanged a glance and both saw the smile in each other's eyes. Wen Zhixin had no idea of his own worth!
Don't be fooled by Sister Chen's constant complaints about how hard it is for her daughter to find a partner; it just shows how picky Sister Chen is.
Wen Zhixin was foolish and couldn't see this, so he actually went to Sister Chen and offered himself up.
For a long time to come, this incident that Wen Zhixin handled will be a laughing stock for everyone.
Wen Zhixin heard a lot of disdainful words from Chen Zhaodi, and he was completely defeated. He found a chance to escape and found that Wu Xiufang and Wang Qiang kept laughing when they saw him. He realized that something was wrong.
"You two know the consequences of what I'm doing!"
Wu Xiufang laughed loudly: "You deserve it! Who told you to be so stupid! You don't even know your own limitations!"
Wang Qiang: "Zhixin, you shouldn't have jumped into such a fire pit!"
Being related to the Chang family brings no blessings, only suffering!
Wen Zhixin was so embarrassed: "You shouldn't have stopped me! Sister Chen will definitely keep bringing this up whenever she sees me!"
Wu Xiufang: "Who can stop you! With the way you're acting, you're afraid someone will stop you from enjoying your life!"
Wen Zhixin: "..."
Is he really that bad at hiding his expression? He can actually make it obvious to anyone!
Wang Qiang comforted him, saying, "Life isn't that long; just a few times and it'll pass!"
Wen Zhixin: "..."
Wang Qiang, I never knew you had such a sharp tongue!
When Zhou Hongyu came to the store, Chen Zhaodi told her about it as a joke, laughing heartily throughout.
Wen Zhixin strained her ears to listen to their movements, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
I regret it so much!
Wang Qiang walked past him, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him again: "It's okay, for the sake of money, just bear with it for a lifetime and it will pass quickly!"
Wen Zhixin gritted his teeth, vowing he would never get over this!
After Chen Zhaodi finished laughing, Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but ask her what kind of son-in-law she wanted.
Although Wen Zhixin's conditions are average, they are still acceptable. Hua Ying has a job and a house, so if Wen Zhixin is willing to marry into the family, he would be a very good candidate.
Chen Zhaodi stated her requirements for a son-in-law: "Tall, healthy, good-looking, and of good character. If he has a high level of education and a good job, I can accept him even if he doesn't own a house. We at Huaying have a house!"
She wants someone with a good job and a high level of education, preferably a college graduate!
Zhou Hongyu then criticized her: "If you wanted a good job and a high level of education, you shouldn't have forced Huaying to attend a vocational school in the first place. If Huaying had been lucky enough to get into university, you would have had a son-in-law like that by now!"
I'm not entirely without disappointment, but it's too late.
Chen Zhaodi stubbornly insisted, "Hongbing and I were hoping she would finish her studies and get married as soon as possible, but who knew it would drag on like this!"
Sigh, it would be better to do as Zhou Hongyu said and go to high school and university, where the chances of finding a good partner are much higher.
Going to university...
Chen Zhaodi found a point of rebuttal: "Not everyone can get into university. Yaozu prepared for so many years and still didn't get in. If Huaying also takes the exam, it will be another three years of wasted time. It will be hard to find a job after that. It's better to just leave it as it is!"
