Zhang Jianxun came to see Zhao Xingmin several times, but was rejected by Zhao Xingmin every time. He vaguely felt that Zhao Xingmin was avoiding him.
Is it because of the rumors that she is in so much pain that she doesn't want to see him? In this case, he should be held responsible.
This time, he had just stood at the door and hadn't knocked yet when he was caught by Ma Xiu Lan who was coming back from get off work.
He quickly said, "Aunt, let me go in and say a few words to Comrade Zhao."
Ma Xiulan shook her head in disapproval:
"Comrade Zhang, my daughter's reputation has already been affected by your mother's nonsense. If you come to see her again and again, people will always remember this matter. If you don't come, everyone will forget it over time. So please don't come anymore."
Zhang Jianxun blushed when he was ordered to leave, but he had to make things clear this time, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to see this family in the future.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I will make up for what my mother did wrong. If you and Comrade Zhao are willing, I can marry Comrade Zhao at any time."
Ma Xiu Lan originally wanted to call him shameless, saying that he already had a girlfriend, yet he came and said such things to her.
But she was also afraid of what might happen. What if he didn't have a partner and Lu Wenying was just making it up to force Xingmin to leave? Then the misunderstanding would be resolved.
In addition, Zhang Jianxun now actually wants to marry Xingmin, so as long as Zhang Jianxun coaxes her, Xingmin might agree to marry him.
Ma Xiulan thought about it over and over again, and finally decided to reject it with time:
"My daughter is still young. She won't consider marriage right now. She'll consider finding a partner after she finishes college and gets a good job. That'll be at least five years from now. Comrade Zhang will be almost 30 by then and already a father. Don't delay me."
Zhang Jianxun thought about how he was 24 years old and already had his family urging him to go on blind dates. He knew he couldn't last five years. Sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Aunt, you can get married after you go to college. Comrade Zhao will be 25 years old when he finishes college. If he gets married by then, I'm afraid all the good ones will be picked out, and the neighbors will also talk about him. Please give me a chance to make amends now. I will treat Comrade Zhao well in the future."
As he said this, his face flushed. Originally, marriages were arranged by parents through matchmakers. It was indeed reckless for him to go directly to Comrade Zhao's mother and say these things.
Ma Xiulan's face darkened. "What's wrong with being 25? She's a perfect age. What's wrong with the neighbors talking about her? If anyone dares to say anything bad about my daughter, I'll knock them over."
"Besides, once you're in college, these rumors will fade away. There are all kinds of outstanding talents gathered in college, so it's good to meet them before choosing a partner."
Zhang Jianxun was speechless. Did his aunt think he was not good enough? But he was selected as a police officer from a large number of candidates after graduating from high school. This was a cadre position, and he was also considered an excellent son-in-law by his neighbors.
He didn't understand and had to go home in confusion. When Lu Wenying saw him, she immediately pulled him over and introduced him to a blind date. Zhang Jianxun was not in the mood and went back to his room and fell asleep.
Zhao Xingmin recovered from her illness quickly. Before the college entrance examination results came out, she helped Ma Xiulan buy vegetables, cut vegetables, and clean the kitchen all day. Then, after Ma Xiulan finished cooking, she would deliver the food to the old couple Su Shibo.
Anyway, Zhang Guojie is now in prison, and Su Xin, Chen Zhenzhen and Zhao Xingfeng have not been released yet. They will probably be sentenced to several years in prison.
It was broad daylight again, so she felt safe to go out. She would go crazy if she stayed in the house all the time.
Zhao Xingguo was responsible for cleaning the yard and the house, while Zhou Anan rushed to wash clothes and dishes. She said frankly that Ma Xiulan had taken on a lot of responsibilities alone so that they could concentrate on the college entrance examination, and now it was time for them to share the burden.
Ma Xiu Lan suddenly had nothing to do. She started thinking about how to make money. She didn't dare to sell the chili sauce for the time being, for fear that her ungrateful son would report her.
She remembered that when she was older, many people would collect stamps, RMB from the 1970s, various tickets, comic books with characteristics of the era, and famous wines, which could all be sold for a good price after 20 or 30 years.
So she rode her bike and started buying things in big and small bags as planned.
Li Shulan, who lived on the same street, led a miserable life. Living with Zhao Youjie's parents, she had to serve them and be tortured by them. Zhao Youjie would not defend his wife in front of his parents like Zhao Youcai did.
In his opinion, a wife's job is to take care of everyone in the family. After he married Li Shulan, his interest in her suddenly wore off. He could only have an affair with her once in a while, but now they sleep together every day and he is tired of it.
She saw Ma Xiulan buying things several times and her eyes were red with envy. It was almost the New Year, but Zhao Youjie didn't even buy her a new set of clothes.
When her son He Jindong heard that she had remarried, he came to find out what happened. However, he was scolded by Zhao Youjie's parents and was so angry that he never came to see him again.
It would have been great if Ma Xiulan hadn’t discovered what was going on between her and Zhao Youcai.
At the same time, Zhao Youcai was also thinking, if only Ma Xiulan hadn't discovered what was going on between him and Shulan, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
She lost her job and rented a small room, serving Old Lady Wang. Her two sons held her in a ruthless position, forcing her not only to give him money but also to take care of the family.
After he was fired from the machinery factory, Zhao Yang naturally could no longer continue to send his child to the machinery factory nursery. However, Chen Zhenzhen was put in jail, and Zhao Xingjia had to go back to work, so the responsibility of taking care of the child fell into the hands of Zhao Youcai.
He wanted to treat Zhao Yang harshly, but Zhao Yang was over five years old and could say anything. He would cry if he was not given food or water.
He wanted to abandon him, but Zhao Yang was a smart kid. As soon as he saw that his expression was not right, he would coax him and tell him that he would be filial to his grandfather in the future. He only loved his grandfather and not his father, which made Zhao Youcai heal himself during the breakdown, and then collapse again.
