Chapter 417 Acknowledgement
Shen Zhengrong said carefully, "A relative from Si Si's mother's side of the family."
Aunt Fang said politely, "Sit in the living room. Let's bask in the sun outside."
"I'm not going in." Shen Zhengrong opened the oilcloth umbrella above the stone table and sat on the stone bench waiting for Mr. Shen.
Aunt Fang put down the fruit plate and said, "Young man, excuse me for asking a few questions. How old are you? What do you do? Do you have a partner? What do your parents do? How many brothers and sisters do you have?" Although the young man did not have the standard thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was very handsome, with fair skin, good clothes and good manners. His family conditions should be good.
Shen Zhengrong said casually, "You have more than two questions. Do you want to introduce me to someone?"
Aunt Fang smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter is 23 years old and has graduated from high school. She will be working in a soap factory soon and can earn more than 70 yuan a month."
"Do you know how old Sisi is? I'm one year older than her. I don't have a job, I don't have a partner, my parents have similar jobs to Yanci's parents, and I have two cousins and one younger cousin."
Aunt Fang's eyes lit up instantly. With a job similar to her boss's, wouldn't that mean she's quite capable? "Sisi was born in '58, and you were born in '57? You're two years younger than my daughter. Your parents have regular jobs, so why don't they give you a job? You're just sitting around eating out your savings? Sisi, a girl, worked hard to get her driver's license, and she's barely educated. She's ambitious, so you should be, too."
Chen Zhengrong: "Who said Sisi hasn't read many books? How can she get a driver's license without any education?" He hoped to make Sisi proud by stating that he was studying at university and that the school would arrange work for her.
"A college student." Aunt Fang was even more satisfied: "When are you free to meet my daughter? She is very beautiful, almost as beautiful as Si Si."
Chen Zhengrong thought Aunt Fang was bragging. How many people were as pretty as Si Si? Besides, Si Si was his sister. No matter what type of girl he was looking for, he wouldn't look for her type. He politely declined, "I can't make the decision on finding a partner. My parents have to make the final decision."
"You should discuss it with your parents." Aunt Fang did not give up.
Shen Zhengrong: "Auntie, your daughter is as beautiful as Si Si, and she's only in her early twenties. Isn't she already in a relationship? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Aunt Fang laughed and said, "I don't like other young men."
"You're not going to live with the boy, so why would you fall for him?" Shen Zhengrong said this, then changed his tone: "My parents listen to Si Si. If you want to marry into our family, you can ask Si Si to talk to my mother."
Ying Sisi went back to her room and couldn't sleep, so she came out for a walk.
As soon as she arrived at the yard, Aunt Fang called her: "Si Si, you're just in time." She stated her request.
Ying Sisi was puzzled: "Didn't you say your daughter has a boyfriend?"
Aunt Fang choked: "Well, that man in front is no good, very stingy. I don't even want to mention the gifts he gave me during festivals. The most expensive one was two kilograms of sugar. I let them divide it. But my daughter is still innocent. She is not the kind of girl who would mess around with men before getting married."
Ying Sisi was very upset. How could your own son be so stingy with his future daughter-in-law?
Other people’s sons can’t do that. Do you want to have all the good things for yourself?
Perhaps the two pounds of sugar were saved by careful budgeting.
I have that intention, so what?
"Isn't his grandfather resting in the house? When he wakes up, you can talk to the old man. How can I, a junior, discuss my brother's marriage with the elders?" She used Old Man Shen as a shield. At the same time, she secretly glared at Shen Zhengrong. This guy did it on purpose.
Shen Zhengrong smiled brightly at her. She acknowledged that he was her brother.
Aunt Fang thought it made sense, and she went to talk to Mr. Shen as soon as he woke up.
Mr. Shen listened patiently out of politeness. "How can I agree to meet someone I don't even know? Besides, my grandson is only 21. If he starts dating too early, what will happen if it interferes with his studies?"
"We can wait until he graduates from college," said Aunt Fang.
"That won't do. Marriage is free. Now the child has no objection to my arrangement. What if he meets a girl he likes in the future and blames me for arranging it too early? No, no, I can't delay your child." Old Master Shen was just about to say no.
But this was Si Si's aunt, and he was an outsider, so his words were too blunt and harsh.
Si Si was also embarrassed.
In order to avoid talking about this matter, he pulled Ying Sisi and asked her to send him away.
"Aren't you going to eat here?" Ying Sisi asked.
The neighbors found out that her relatives had come.
She didn't even get anyone a meal, so people must be saying that she doesn't know etiquette.
She persuaded him to stay, "Stay here for dinner."
Old Master Shen was delighted that his granddaughter had invited him to dinner. But he hadn't slept well today, perhaps because the scent of the jasmine flowers was too strong. He kept dreaming about the old woman and the fourth son conspiring to stop the third son from finding Sisi's mother.
On several occasions, the third brother's planned route was very close to Sisi's home, but every time he got off the train, the old lady would send an emergency telegram to recall him, saying that she was unwell and had to go to the hospital.
After returning, the mother and daughter said that they had arranged someone to look for her, so the third child could rest assured.
After he woke up, he recalled it carefully.
There were indeed a few times when the old woman went to the hospital and called the whole family to stay by her side, but no problems were found.
Perhaps, what the fourth son said was true, and the old woman really participated in preventing the third son from finding a wife.
This also explains what the old woman said to the third brother before she left: "If I had known you were so stubborn, I would have agreed." Perhaps because she was afraid that the third brother would hold a grudge, she never told him where Sisi's home was.
Why.
To do evil.
He said, "No." He didn't have the face to face Si Si at the moment. "Just give me a ride, give me a ride."
"Okay." Ying Sisi saw him out the door. He was reluctant to leave: "Sisi, I said before that I would give you all my private savings. When you give me the passbook, I will have someone deposit it directly into your account."
Aunt Fang followed behind and looked at Ying Sisi curiously.
Ying Sisi called the old man Grandpa Shen.
This means they are not his grandfather, but the young man said they are relatives of Sisi’s mother.
If they are close relatives, they should have the same surname.
This is a bit wrong.
If they were distant relatives, why would the old man give his private money to Si Si instead of his own grandson?
Could Si Si be the illegitimate daughter of this family?
Otherwise, how could they have the same white skin?
Ying Sisi: "I don't want it." She has no shortage of money.
Mr. Shen: "Really? It's enough for you to have food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"No!" Ying Sisi said firmly. She loved money, but she loved reputation even more.
She took Mr. Shen's money. Wouldn't someone in the Shen family say that she deliberately refused to acknowledge her relatives just to get benefits?
"I'll save it for you first."
Ying Sisi: “.” You said you don’t want it, but you’re still saving it.
