"If you want to eat meat, your family can buy it for you. You don't have to marry someone blindly just for a bite of meat!"
Zheng Jianjun was also anxious and stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.
Zheng Wangshu originally thought that this adoptive father didn't care about the original owner at all, but now it seems that this is not the case. After all, he is his biological son, and the blood relationship is there, so it is impossible not to be close.
"It's not entirely for the meat. It's mainly because I think Zhou Jingchuan has good conditions. Although self-employed people are not popular nowadays, it depends on what kind of self-employed they are. He opened such a large farm. I've seen it, it's really good. So what's the iron rice bowl? The salary he gets in a month is not even enough for him to earn in a few days."
Zheng Wangshu was telling the truth. It would not be easy to get a job in a public institution in the future, and people would gradually abandon their iron rice bowls.
If you stand on the cusp of the storm, even a pig can take off, but if you don’t take that step, your life will just go on as usual.
What's wrong with self-employed people? Everyone looks down on them, and no one lives better than them.
Although she didn't know how much money Zhou Jingchuan had saved now, she knew from the scale of the farm that there was definitely a lot of money.
After hearing this, Zheng Jianjun was speechless for a moment. He always felt that his daughter's words were wrong, but he couldn't refute them.
Even a stable job meant earning a salary, and the purpose of earning money was to spend it. With more money, the quality of life naturally improved. Zhou Jingchuan's high income might sound normal, but he felt something was amiss.
"Will her parents agree if you marry her like this? The Zhou family is a well-known family, and they are well-known in this field. How can you let such a shameful thing happen to their family?"
How can I put this into words? It's really embarrassing to tell anyone about this. My cousin married his cousin's wife. Isn't that ridiculous?
Zheng Wangshu sighed, "Don't worry about that. Didn't I just tell you that I won't live with them after we get married? Besides, Zhou Jingchuan has already decided to marry me. He'll probably come up and propose tomorrow."
Having said that, Zheng Wangshu couldn't help but walk forward and pull Zheng Jianjun's arm to sit on the sofa.
It was a rare occasion for his daughter to be close to him, so Zheng Jianjun sat down obediently for a moment.
"Dad, I'm so happy that you care about me. Don't worry. After what happened last time, how could I be so stupid? If Zhou Jingchuan wasn't a good person, I wouldn't have chosen him. Besides, think about it carefully. Among all the candidates introduced to me by the compound, which one can compare to Zhou Jingchuan? I can't stay at home like an old maid forever, don't you think?"
Zheng Wangshu spoke so logically that although Zheng Jianjun thought it was outrageous, he was gradually convinced, as if he had been brainwashed.
At this moment, Gu Meiqi suppressed her excitement and spoke.
"Jianjun, what Wangshu said makes sense. Since the deregulation of private ownership, more and more people are doing business. Having meat to eat is a good thing. For a family like ours, eating meat every day is unrealistic. It's a good thing that Wangshu has found such a good in-law family."
Gu Meiqin gloated over the misfortune. Who looked down upon self-employed people these days? Besides, how much money could one earn as a self-employed person? If Zhou Jingchuan was so rich, word would have spread everywhere long ago. It's impossible that no one had heard of him.
Now that Zheng Wangshu was so considerate and had found such a marriage for her, she naturally hoped that Zheng Wangshu would marry her quickly.
She felt happy when she thought that her daughter would marry into a wealthy family in the future, while Zheng Jianjun's first wife's daughter could only marry a pig farmer.
Besides, Zhou Jingchuan has two children and is not a good family. If this happens, her daughter will be able to step on her head in the future.
So what if she's beautiful? Without the ability to control her face, her beauty will only bring disaster to her life.
In Gu Meiqin's eyes, Zheng Wangshu is just an empty shell, a vase that can't be more beautiful than this.
Zheng Jianjun was also frustrated when he heard Gu Meiqin say this. His daughter was more eloquent than him, and he couldn't argue with her. But he knew in his heart that this matter was inappropriate. What good intentions could Gu Meiqin have in jumping out to speak for her daughter at this time?
"Okay, just stop talking."
Seeing the anger in Zheng Jianjun's eyes, Gu Meiqin quickly shut up, with a look of grievance on her face.
Zheng Wangshu watched everything and sneered inwardly. This stepmother must have been so happy at this moment. If he wanted to see her make a fool of herself, he might not have the chance anymore.
Even without a man's support, with her own abilities, she would not have a bad life in the future.
Zheng Wangshu has always believed that it is better to rely on oneself than on others. She is a good student and has a good brain, so is it possible that she can't support herself?
If this child hadn't come at the right time, she wouldn't have considered getting married.
When Zheng Xinyue and the others came back and learned about this, they were overjoyed and felt that this was how Zheng Wangshu's life would be.
After Zheng Wangshu's earnest persuasion, Zheng Jianjun finally compromised.
What else could he do if he didn't compromise? He couldn't help his daughter find a better family. Although Zhou Jingchuan didn't have a stable job or a career in government, he was still a member of the Zhou family. If his daughter married into the family, her life wouldn't be much worse.
It's a bit unfair that I had to become a foster mother right after I passed away.
So when he was lying in bed at night, he brought up the matter of dowry with Gu Meicen.
"If Wangshu really marries Zhou Jingchuan, I'm thinking of giving her a bigger dowry. Her in-laws already look down on her, and if our family is too shabby, we'll probably be laughed at."
Zheng Jianjun thought about it and felt that he owed his daughter.
He was completely unaware of the fact that he had been wronged and beaten so badly in the Zhou family. He is truly an incompetent father.
Now Zheng Wangshu is getting married again, and this may be the last time in his life, so he wants to make up for it.
When Gu Meiqun heard what Zheng Jianjun said, she was naturally unhappy. She had given a dowry to Zheng Wangshu when he got married for the first time, but he was kicked out of the Zhou family and that money became daily expenses.
This is her second marriage, and she still needs to bring a dowry. The money in their family doesn't come from the wind.
Although Zheng Jianjun had a good salary and had saved some money over the years, she still felt bad.
Although I felt distressed, I couldn't show it. I could only grit my teeth and pretend to be relaxed and asked, "How much money do you plan to bring?"
"Give her 500 yuan. That way she'll have money to rely on and won't have to suffer too much when she gets married."
It was the early 1980s, and the average worker only earned 30 yuan a month. A hundred yuan was considered high for a wife. But Zheng Jianjun asked for 500 yuan, almost his entire annual salary.
Gu Meiqin naturally refused and sat up from the bed.
"We are marrying off our daughter, not asking the man to marry into our family. What's the point of giving so much money?"
