Chapter 101 Henpecked
After Secretary Song finished washing up, he saw Gu Ci taking the initiative to pour him a cup of tea and holding it in front of him with both hands.
He also thought that this boy was really smart and would definitely have a bright future.
He took the enamel teacup and reminded Gu Ci: "Go deliver the things first, and then come back to have breakfast, so as not to be seen by others when there are too many people."
Gu Ci stood there straight, tense as if he had been hit by a needle: "Uncle, I came here specially to see you and Aunt today."
Secretary Song looked at his nervousness and couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you so nervous? We won't eat people."
His behavior reminded Secretary Song of how nervous he was when his eldest and second sons-in-law first came to visit him.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat: No way? Could it be that this kid really has bad intentions?
In terms of age, Gu Ci and the youngest daughter Chu Dan are suitable.
But when Secretary Song thought about it carefully, he felt that Gu Ci had spent more time talking and spending time with Chu Hong in the past.
He put the cup on the table with a bang and asked seriously, "What do you want to see me for?"
At this time, Gu Ci saw Wu Xiu coming in from outside, so he bowed and said, "Uncle, aunt, I want to date Chu Hong, and we are dating with the intention of getting married."
Secretary Song did not get furious, but instead felt secretly happy.
Although he himself did not mind that his eldest daughter and second daughter were both divorced, others always felt that divorced women were not valuable enough, and those who came to propose marriage were either widowers or older men who had been delayed in marriage due to poor family conditions or age.
It’s not that he despises their poor family background, but he knows his daughter too well. Chu Hong is just lazy and likes to eat and do nothing. How could she be willing to remarry without some family background?
Now that he sees the young and handsome Gu Ci is going to marry Chu Hong, how can he not be happy?
Just Gu Ci could crush all the men who came to propose marriage into the ground.
The only trouble is Old Chu and the others. If Gu Ci’s true relationship with them is discovered, it might be a bit troublesome.
But it’s not too serious, otherwise Gu Ci’s biological father wouldn’t still be safe and sound as a doctor.
But he was afraid that Gu Ci's biological father was too capable and would find a job for Gu Ci and bring him back to Shencheng. Wouldn't his daughter then get divorced again?
Wu Xiu thought the same as her husband, so she asked, "Will your family agree?"
"I'm sure you'll agree." Gu Ci was so happy that he almost jumped up.
Judging from what she said, she agreed.
So he was not afraid of exposing his family's dirty laundry: "If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. After my father remarried, my stepmother was there to make things difficult for him, which made my father unhappy with me."
"Now the son and daughter born to a stepmother are the good children in their eyes."
"They hope that I will settle down in the countryside."
"My father said he would give me 20 yuan a month now, and when I get married in the future, I can get them to give me some money."
He said this to let Secretary Song know that he was not a poor guy and that he would be able to support his grandparents in the future.
Then he said shyly, "I am also willing to be a live-in son-in-law. If uncle and aunt are worried, we can also go and get a marriage certificate."
According to current regulations, educated youth who are married cannot return to the city.
It means he has cut off his own retreat.
When Secretary Song heard that he was willing to be a son-in-law, he agreed in his heart. When he heard him say that he was going to get a marriage certificate, Secretary Song was so happy that he almost shouted: What a good son-in-law.
Now he is really satisfied with Gu Ci.
Not to mention that Gu Ci's family gave him so much pocket money, just based on his personality, Secretary Song would be willing to do it.
At this moment, he silently said in his heart: If one family has a daughter, hundreds of families will want her.
Now that I have found a Gu Ci that satisfies me, I have to be more reserved.
He coughed lightly and said, "You are not a bad person. Nowadays, people say that marriage is free. As long as Chu Hong is willing, we have no objection."
Gu Ci was not a fool and understood what he meant.
They all agreed.
He couldn't help showing his joy: "Thank you uncle, thank you aunt, I will definitely treat Chu Hong well in the future."
"Chu Hong and I will take good care of you in the future."
Then he asked impatiently, "What do I need to prepare? I'll write to ask for it later."
Wu Xiu saw how excited he was, and heard how eager he was to get engaged, so she couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know what a live-in son-in-law is? It means you don't have to prepare anything, and your child will have the surname Song. Are you really willing?"
There are very few sons-in-law who live with the wife's family in the countryside nowadays, mainly because there is no family planning policy. Even if the first three or five children are daughters, the couple can still continue to have children.
Of course, I would be even more careless in taking care of my daughter. If I were a bit cruel, the child I gave birth to would not survive to the next day.
Unless a man cannot bear to see his wife suffer the pain of childbirth, or if the man has injured his body due to the famine in previous years and has some illness that cannot be revealed, a man who has only one or two daughters will not invite a son-in-law to live with him.
Nowadays, men who want to marry a daughter-in-law do not have to prepare a dowry. The woman will also buy new clothes for the man and give him a hundred yuan to his family.
However, Wu Xiu felt that the Gu family would not be short of money, so she simply didn't say anything.
"I'm definitely willing." Gu Ci showed the good qualities of the Gu Song family: "Even if I don't have to pay, I still have to write back to ask for some money."
"My biological mother also has a share of the place where they live, as well as my mother's jewelry. I can't let them get away with it."
Wu Xiu had nothing to say: As long as you are happy.
Secretary Song muttered to himself: Fortunately, I didn’t give birth to a son, otherwise my son would be like me and listen to his wife. Wouldn’t I be so mad at him?
Grandpa Song and Grandma Song: So you are quite self-aware?
Chu Tong quickly served the vegetable and sweet potato porridge to the table. She couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Chu Hong tell her family about you?"
As she listened to Gu Ci's words, she wished she could go in immediately.
But Chu Hong is a person with her own ideas. If she is not in a hurry to get married, it will be useless even if her parents and Gu Ci have discussed everything.
Secretary Song also reacted when he heard this. In order to cover up his negligence, he took the opportunity to check his watch and said, "It's already six forty. Go wake Chu Hong up."
Then he snorted in dissatisfaction: "This damn girl is getting lazier and lazier."
Now in the countryside, people start work at seven o'clock in the winter.
In the summer, we start work at five or six o'clock. We can do more work when the weather is cooler and go home to rest earlier.
Wu Xiu also had to go to the infirmary to work, so she picked up the bowl and started eating slowly.
She knew in her heart that her man wanted to use this incident to see how Gu Ci would perform.
So she ate while keeping an eye on Gu Ci.
Gu Ci really lived up to their expectations and spoke for Chu Hong with a smile: "Chu Hong must be too tired. She has put a lot of effort into coming up with the idea of exchanging food for the defective washbasin. It's okay to let her sleep a little longer. Anyway, we haven't officially started work yet."
