After the two brothers left, Yu Dazhu and his wife had almost finished eating.
One person started clearing the dishes in the kitchen, while the other began sharpening a knife to kill a fish.
"Honey, our family's life is getting better and better now."
I see that Ping An is getting older and older; he's already 24 by the traditional Chinese age reckoning.
We should arrange a marriage for him.
The second child has already been born; it wouldn't look good if the eldest child remained single.
If we don't do this soon, people will say we're favoring the second son.
Pan Cuilian was washing dishes with a loofah sponge while talking to her husband.
Before the family divided their property, the old lady wouldn't contribute any money. Even though she wanted to arrange a marriage for her eldest son, it was all in vain.
Which girl would marry you if you don't have money for a bride price?
Those from the same village knew them well, knowing that there was a formidable old lady in their family and that the eldest son was the least favored, so they were even less willing to marry into the family.
Yu Dazhu continued working with his hands, and replied with a smile, "Yes, you're right, it's time to arrange the eldest son's marriage."
But you can't hold a wedding by yourself!
You need to help the boss find a girl around his age who he knows well.
In the past, people didn't have the money to get married, but now families can afford to.
Yu Dazhu also agreed with his wife's idea.
A few days after the family split up, the second son gave the elderly couple five hundred yuan.
They were also instructed not to give it to the Wang family.
They were told to use the money to help their eldest brother get a wife.
He's been busy lately and hadn't thought about it at first, but luckily his wife brought it up.
"I'll go ask Qiu Mei. She knows a lot of people and is familiar with several nearby villages. She's sure to have a suitable girl."
Pan Cuilian thought of the village chief's wife.
She has a wide network of connections, is good at dealing with people, and has a good eye for people.
The young men in the village were all introduced to each other by the village chief's wife.
“I think it would be better if there were suitable girls in the village, someone we know well, and someone who lives nearby, which would be more convenient.”
Yu Dazhu felt that marrying someone from his own village would make it easier for the two families to interact.
The most important thing is to know the inside story thoroughly; that way you won't go wrong.
"We'll have to ask around in this village; there probably aren't many."
It seems that most of the women who have reached a certain age are already engaged, or they have high aspirations and want to marry someone from the city.
The others were either too young or too old, and some even had epilepsy.
Pan Cuilian shook her head, thinking that her eldest son would be twenty-four by the end of the year, and that girls in the countryside usually got married at twenty and were basically engaged by eighteen.
There are too few suitable people in their village.
A few years ago, there were indeed some unmarried young women.
"Sigh... I thought there was a girl who would be perfect, she's from the village, and her age is about the same as our eldest brother's. It's just a pity, she..."
Yu Dazhu sighed and said.
"Honey, who are you talking about?"
How come I didn't know that?
Pan Cuilian narrowed her eyes, having no idea which girl her husband was talking about; she couldn't recall such a person at all.
"It's Wang Chunyan, the daughter of the Wang family!"
Isn't she about the same age as the eldest brother?
It only grew a few days.
That girl was capable and hardworking, beautiful, and pure-hearted.
She and our boss are actually quite a good match.
Yu Dazhu reminded him.
"Ah... Husband, are you confused?"
Chunyan, that girl, was married before, wasn't she?
And her parents weren't killed by her... and her man too..."
After her husband reminded her, Pan Cuilian immediately remembered who he was talking about.
However, she never expected that the person in charge would be talking about her.
"Cuiping, Chunyan has been married before, but she only had a wedding banquet, nothing else!"
She's still a young woman.
Besides, her husband wasn't killed by anyone else; he died from drinking too much. How can you blame Chunyan?
Although her parents' experiences were somewhat influenced by her, she herself was also a pitiful person and a victim.
Sigh... I can only say I'm just unlucky!
Yu Dazhu sighed and said.
If it weren't for these factors, it would have been appropriate for her to marry her eldest son.
At least this girl has a good character and personality, so there's no need to worry about the eldest son being taken advantage of by his wife in the future.
You should know that it is extremely important for a man to get married.
There's a reason why it's said that a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations.
"Honey, although it's not that girl's fault, I still think it's inappropriate."
Regardless, she has already been married, and that is a fait accompli.
Furthermore, given her already damaged reputation, if the eldest brother marries him, his reputation will likely suffer as well.
Pan Cuilian felt that although the girl had done nothing wrong, as a mother, she still didn't want her son to be gossiped about.
"You're the mother, so if you think it's not appropriate, then you should arrange it for the eldest son!"
I won't get involved in this.
However, I'd like to remind you that it's always better to ask your child's opinion on things.
Yu Dazhu smiled and reminded his wife, then continued to clean the fish.
"Okay, I understand. I'll ask the boss what he thinks tonight."
I'll go to the village chief's house right now.
After washing the dishes, Pan Cuilian wiped her hands on her apron, then quickly took it off and hurriedly went out.
Yu Dazhu shook his head. "Sigh, this woman, she really does what she says she'll do."
Yu Chengyuan and his brother had already arrived at the county hospital.
Yu Ping'an had no idea that his parents were already arranging blind dates for him.
