Chapter 180 Do you want to get married outside?
She walked forward angrily, and Lu Xiangdong looked at her slender back with a puzzled look.
He could see that Zhou Ling was angry, but Lu Xiangdong didn't know what she was angry about.
Lu Xiangdong pondered for a while, but didn't realize what he had said was wrong, so he raised his foot and followed.
Zhou Ling was deeply touched by Lu Xiangdong's words, but on second thought, she felt that it was normal for Lu Xiangdong to have such an attitude.
"Are you angry? I'm not very good at talking, so please don't take it personally if I say something wrong..."
Zhou Ling glanced at Lu Xiangdong, then continued walking forward with an expressionless face.
Lu Xiangdong looked at the angry Zhou Ling and found her to be very cute because of her straightforward personality.
"I'm afraid it will be hard for you in the future, because I will stay in the army all year round..."
As Zhou Ling listened to Lu Xiangdong's words, she became more depressed and irritated.
How could you ruin this marriage?
She thought about it, but couldn't think of a good excuse.
Suddenly, Zhou Ling came up with an idea and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
What if I propose to get married outside?
The Lu family will definitely not agree, so doesn’t that give me a reason not to get married?
Because in the 1970s there were very few people who got married and lived alone, almost all families lived together, so that not only could everyone take care of each other, but also the family seemed harmonious.
But in this case, spending will be restricted by the elderly, and conflicts between sisters-in-law will continue to arise.
Even so, every elderly family will keep their sons and daughters-in-law living together and will not separate unless it is absolutely necessary.
However, there are exceptions, but they are very rare. As long as they can live together, the elderly will not agree to separate.
Zhou Ling suddenly stopped, and Lu Xiangdong also stopped when he saw this.
"Comrade Lu Xiangdong, I want to discuss something with you."
"you say."
Zhou Ling spoke softly and expressed her thoughts.
Lu Xiangdong gradually frowned: "You want to get married outside?"
Zhou Ling nodded: "Yes, I like quietness and I can't adapt to living with a large family..."
Lu Xiangdong knew about the Zhou family's situation, but Zhou Ling's request made him feel troubled.
He has been in the army for many years and has not been able to take good care of his parents and grandmother. Now his fiancée has made such a request, putting Lu Xiangdong in a dilemma.
It’s not right to agree, and it’s not right to not agree. Lu Xiangdong feels that this problem is more difficult than leading his troops.
"Does it have to be tied outside? If it is tied outside, how can you fulfill your filial duty for me?"
Zhou Ling said expressionlessly: "Comrade Lu Xiangdong, you married me to fulfill your filial piety? Then let me ask you, you are not at home all year round, who is fulfilling your filial piety in front of your parents and grandmother? Don't you think that your Lu family married a nanny instead of a daughter-in-law? If so, let's forget about our marriage..."
After leaving these words, Zhou Ling trotted forward and called out to Cui Shufen.
"Mom, let's go home."
Cui Shufen glared at Zhou Ling: "Why are you being so petty?"
Chen Lianchun smiled and said, "Xiaoling, did Dongzi bully you? Tell me and see how I deal with him..."
Zhou Ling recounted the whole story briefly, and the smile on Chen Lianchun's face gradually disappeared, while Cui Shufen became furious.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch?"
When Zhou Ling saw Cui Shufen reaching out her hand, she hurriedly hid behind Chen Lianchun.
"Mom, am I wrong? What Lu Xiangdong lacks is not a wife, but a nanny..."
Cui Shufen was so angry that her face turned black. Chen Lianchun looked at his son viciously, and he could hardly hide the stabbing look in his eyes.
Chen Lianchun thought: This little bastard, if you can’t speak, can’t you just be dumb?
"Shufen, calm down. Don't blame Xiaoling, blame Dongzi. Just wait and see how I deal with him..."
Chen Lianchun ran towards Lu Xiangdong angrily and kicked his son.
"You little bastard, wait and see how I deal with you..."
Lu Xiangdong was confused. Chen Lianchun beat him and criticized him at the same time.
As Lu Xiangdong listened, he finally understood what was going on and felt a little depressed.
He just chose to tell the truth because he didn't want to deceive Zhou Ling.
But he didn't expect that Zhou Ling was so sharp-tongued and actually made a fuss.
Doesn't she want to marry me?
There was a moment when he felt tired and even had the idea of not wanting to get married.
But he thought again, this marriage has to happen eventually, and since his parents and grandmother like Zhou Ling, he can only bite the bullet and marry her.
"Mom, she wants to get married and live alone. I want her to show my filial piety to you, my dad, and my grandma..."
After hearing what her son said, Chen Lianchun's eyes were red.
She was very happy that her son had this thought, but she and her husband had agreed that their family would separate after the spring.
The conflicts between the sons and daughters-in-law, and between the sons, have already exhausted the couple physically and mentally.
In fact, if Chen Lianchun hadn't been afraid of being laughed at by relatives, he would have wanted to separate from his sons and live on his own long ago.
Lu Xiangdong listened quietly to what his mother said, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
Therefore, he did not know what was happening at home and always thought that his brothers and sisters were very united. Only now did he realize that unity was just an illusion.
"Mom, why don't you ever mention these things to Dad in your letters?"
"Why do you mention this? You've had a hard time in the army, and your mom and dad don't want you to get anxious..."
Lu Xiangdong was silent. Chen Lianchun looked at Cui Shufen and her daughter not far away. She said, "The house in our east courtyard is empty. Go back and clean it up and use it as your wedding room..."
"Mom, you and my dad like Zhou Ling very much?"
Chen Lianchun looked at his sons. Do they like Zhou Ling? It’s not that she likes him that much, it’s mainly because Mrs. Lu likes Zhou Ling.
As Lu Xiangdong is already quite old and unable to find a suitable family to marry into, he can only spend a high price to find a wife in the countryside.
It was because of these things that Old Lady Lu took the initiative to arrange jobs for the two brothers Zhou Gang and Zhou Qiang. If Lu Xiangdong was young, the Lu family would not have taken the initiative to add chips to facilitate this marriage.
However, Chen Lianchun did not say anything about these things, because she knew her son's temperament and she hated them doing such things the most.
"Zhou Ling is a very capable girl, and her elder brother is the leader of the Huaixi Village Production Team and the director of the Huaixi Village Brick Factory. Our two families are well matched. Having such a brother-in-law will only benefit you..."
Although Chen Lianchun was not very satisfied with Zhou Ling, through her mother-in-law, she was very satisfied with her son's future brother-in-law.
After all, Zhou Ling has a powerful family to back her up, which can only be beneficial to their Lu family. Otherwise, given Mrs. Lu's temperament, how could she give out two jobs so easily?
However, the Lu family still doesn’t know how strained the relationship between the Zhou family and Zhou Yong is, and they don’t know that most of what Cui Shufen said to Old Lady Lu was just to save face.
Old Mrs. Lu, who didn't know the truth, believed it to be true. She also thought that if Lu Xiangdong married Zhou Ling, he would be able to gain some benefits from Zhou Yong in the future.
Lu Xiangdong listened to his mother's words somewhat absent-mindedly, and did not notice the guilty look that flashed across Chen Lianchun's eyes.
Chen Lianchun gave Lu Xiangdong some instructions, and then the mother and son went towards Cui Shufen and her daughter.
Zhou Ling lowered her head and was scolded by Cui Shufen. She bit her lips tightly and told herself not to cry...
