Chapter 178 She also wants to facilitate this marriage
Cui Shufen said coldly: "I consider your feelings one by one, but have you ever considered my feelings? I have been managing this family for my whole life, but in the end, everyone is full of complaints against me..."
Thinking of those sad things, Cui Shufen started crying. Because of her dominance, Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang's families rarely come back, not to mention Zhou Yong.
Zhou Jiefang sighed. He felt oppressive in the room, so he got up and went outside to get some fresh air.
Zhou Ling lay on the kang and cried, while Cui Shufen stood on the ground and cried. The mother and daughter no longer communicated with each other.
Two days later, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Ling wanted to go out to see Zhao Min, but Cui Shufen saw what her daughter was thinking and refused to let her leave the house.
Zhou Ling was so angry that she went back to lie on the kang. Cui Shufen pouted and turned away from the room.
Just when the mother and daughter were at a stalemate, the matchmaker from the Lu family arrived.
Cui Shufen hurried back to the house, her tone mixed with excitement: "Girl, get up quickly, wash your face and tidy yourself up, Lu Xiangdong will come to our house soon..."
What?
Lu Xiangdong is back?
Zhou Ling instantly perked up and sat up.
Cui Shufen smiled happily: "Don't be in a daze, hurry up!"
hurry up?
Wash your face?
Zhou Ling was not mentally prepared to meet Lu Xiangdong, and this guy was about to come to her house. What should she do?
Zhou Ling was pulled by Cui Shufen to wash her face, and she combed her daughter's hair.
After Cui Shufen finished all this, she found a set of clean clothes for Zhou Ling to change into. Then she looked at her daughter and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Zhou Ling had two pigtails that hung down to her chest and stood quietly in front of Cui Shufen.
She wore a white shirt with blue flowers, black trousers, and a pair of cotton shoes with thousand-layer soles.
"Have some sense for a while, don't just stand there like a piece of wood..."
Zhou Ling's heart was already in a mess as she listened to Cui Shufen's nagging.
what to do?
She didn't want to marry Lu Xiangdong, but she couldn't see Zhao Min now.
Cui Shufen reached out and tugged at the bottom of her clothes: "Remember what I said."
"Mom, please stop nagging."
Zhou Ling has had a very restless past few days. She is often criticized and educated by Cui Shufen, or scolded.
"You damn girl, are you looking for a fight?"
When Zhou Ling saw Cui Shufen was about to hit her, she quickly shut up.
Cui Shufen stamped her feet, turned around and said, "I'm cooking corn grits in the pot..."
Zhou Ling pouted and followed him to the outer room. Cui Shufen was so busy dressing her daughter that the corn grits almost got stuck in the pot.
Cui Shufen had just taken the corn grits out of the pot when she heard footsteps and conversation outside.
Zhou Ling looked towards the door, and soon Zhou Jiefang came in first with a smile, followed by the matchmaker and Lu Xiangdong.
Before Zhou Ling could see Lu Xiangdong's appearance clearly, she was pushed into the house by Cui Shufen.
Girls should be reserved, especially when a man comes to their house.
Cui Shufen quickly said a few words to her daughter, then turned around and greeted the matchmaker and Lu Xiangdong!
A few people walked into the house while talking, and Zhou Ling stood quietly in front of her own cabinet.
Zhou Ling looked at Lu Xiangdong, who was about 1.76 cm tall. Seeing his clothes were so ordinary, she couldn't help but compare him with Zhao Min.
After seeing Lu Xiangdong's appearance, Zhou Ling's evaluation was that he was an average-looking person.
"Xiaoling, can you pour some water?"
Zhou Ling, who was wandering in the sky, was pulled back to reality. She glanced at her mother and stood there motionless.
Cui Shufen winked at her daughter frantically, and Zhou Ling saw it, but she still pretended that she saw nothing.
Seeing this, the matchmaker smiled and took over the conversation: "Don't be polite, we are not outsiders..."
Zhou Jiefang laughed: "That's right, Dongzi, please sit down."
Lu Xiangdong put down the four gift boxes in his hand and glanced at Zhou Ling out of the corner of his eye.
"Brother Zhou, Dongzi's vacation this time is only half a month, and the Lu family has prepared all the wedding items..."
The matchmaker brought Lu Xiangdong here for two reasons, one was to get acquainted with the family, and the other was to discuss marriage.
Cui Shufen and Zhou Jiefang had no objection at all. Zhou Ling opened her mouth and wanted to say that she did not agree with this marriage, but Cui Shufen saw through her daughter's intention and did not let her speak.
The matchmaker discussed it with Zhou Jiefang and the wedding was held as scheduled.
Zhou Ling glanced at Lu Xiangdong, who remained silent throughout the whole process, and thought: Is he going to accept this marriage just like that? Shouldn't we oppose it?
Lu Xiangdong is already 30 years old. Even if his family does not arrange a marriage for him, the organization will arrange a marriage partner for him.
Since you are going to marry anyone, you might as well marry a daughter-in-law that your parents and grandmother like, so that there won't be any family conflicts if she stays at home.
Lu Xiangdong came back with this thought in mind. As for his marriage, he had an attitude of "it's okay, it doesn't matter, anything is fine".
The matter was settled, the matchmaker and Lu Xiangdong went back, and Zhou Ling followed behind her parents, her brows furrowed so sharply that they could kill a fly.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't even look ahead and bumped into Cui Shufen.
"You stupid girl, don't you look ahead when you walk? Why did you bump into me?"
Zhou Ling didn't want to talk. She rubbed her rumbling stomach and turned to walk home.
Cui Shufen stamped her feet in anger and turned to look at Zhou Jiefang: "Look at this girl, she wants to piss me off to death..."
Zhou Jiefang shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I guess I feel bad."
Cui Shufen shut up immediately. Even if Zhou Ling was no longer willing to marry Lu Xiangdong, she had to make this marriage happen since things had come to this point.
Suppressing her hot temper, Cui Shufen said, "Tomorrow, my daughter and I won't go to work. I'll take my daughter to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wedding items so that she doesn't have to meet Zhao Min..."
Zhou Jiefang nodded: "Okay, I'll tell the team leader later..."
In collective labor, one cannot be absent from work without a valid reason, because it involves the exchange of grain for work points.
The couple walked into the house while talking. Cui Shufen set the table, Zhou Ling picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhou Jiefang was not idle either, serving dishes and rice in and out of the house.
Zhou Ling felt like she was chewing wax during the meal. She was wondering how she could leave home to see Zhao Min.
After dinner, Zhou Ling did nothing but lay down on the kang, which made Cui Shufen so angry that she scolded her again.
Zhou Ling didn't care how Cui Shufen scolded her because she no longer cared.
For the whole afternoon, Zhou Ling didn't find any chance to go out. Cui Shufen followed her even when she went to the toilet, so it was almost impossible for her to leave home.
The Zhou family has two kangs, one in the north and one in the south. Zhou Jiefang, Cui Shufen and Zhou Tao sleep on the southern kang, while Zhou Ling sleeps alone on the northern kang.
Zhou Ling tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, wondering what to do.
The more Zhou Ling thought about these things, the more confused she became. She turned over in annoyance and sighed softly!
Cui Shufen, who was not asleep, heard her daughter sighing, which made her heart wrench up.
Cui Shufen and Zhou Jiefang knew very well that Zhou Ling liked Zhao Min. The reason why the couple opposed this marriage was that the Zhao family was poor, but the main reason was that the Zhao family had complicated family structures.
But Zhou Ling was stubborn and told the couple again and again that she would not marry anyone but Zhao Min...
