"Hey! Isn't Sanni going to stay at home and find a son-in-law? Your introduction is really stupid!"
A man stabbed the fastest guy next door in the arm, and the rumor spread quickly throughout Sihe Village. Before the Lunar New Year, many people were gossiping about it, and Old Lady Ma was so angry that she was out there all day and night refuting the rumors.
The key is that Sanni agrees with this statement, so it will be useless even if Old Lady Ma runs herself to pieces.
Qi Jinzhou's eyebrows moved, "Son-in-law?"
"Yes, the Ma family gave birth to nine children!" The man naively made the number nine with his hands. "If they don't have a son, then they can only leave one at home as a son to carry on the family line."
"It's actually okay not to have a son. I have nine sons-in-law. During festivals and holidays, I have endless wine to drink and cigarettes to smoke. How wonderful! Hahahaha!"
"That's right! You don't even have to pay for the bride price! Hahahaha..."
…
The topic gradually shifted from the marriage and love issues of young men and women to the family problems of the older generation.
Sanni was the youngest here, so she couldn't get a word in, nor did she want to. She just lowered her head to eat, and then helped her aunt clean up the dishes. Occasionally, she would look up and find Qi Jinzhou still staring at her.
Sanni frowned. Even though Qi Jinzhou's eyes clearly didn't show any signs of being a hooligan, she still didn't like the feeling. It made her feel a little irritated, but she couldn't put her finger on why.
Qi Jinzhou was not idle either. He couldn't just sit there like a big boss after eating someone else's food. He helped them move all the things onto the tricycle, and when he came back, he folded the table and put it aside.
"Xiao Qi, do you want some water? Wait here for a while, I'll go home and get some for you." Chen Chunhua saw that everything was in the car, so she wanted to take it back to wash the dishes. She thought that those who drove a big truck should have water cups in the car, so she wanted to fill it up for him before he left.
Qi Jinzhou waved his hand and said, "No need, aunt. My cup of water is still full. I didn't drink much this morning."
"It should be cold now, I'll get you a hot cup."
"Thermos, it's hot."
Qi Jinzhou's words made the middle-aged men who were trying to digest their food and start working envy them. After eating and drinking, they started talking nonsense again.
"Oh, so she has to be a city dweller. It's a pity that Sanni has to stay at home, otherwise she would have enjoyed a life of luxury if she had married there."
Sanni: ...If we don’t bring her up, can we stop chatting?
Chen Chunhua also thought that these people should just talk and not keep bringing up Sanni. If Qi Jinzhou was a country boy who might become someone's son-in-law, it would be fine to just joke about it, but what's the point of talking about something that seems impossible?
She didn't give Qi Jinzhou time to deal with the people inside and asked,
"It's good to be warm. Be careful on the road. We are going to the provincial capital, right?"
"Yes, it's the provincial capital." Qi Jinzhou nodded, then remembered something, "Hey, aunt, is there a road out of our village to the west? My master is closer to where I want to go."
Chen Chunhua didn't remember for a moment that the village entrance they usually went to was in the south, some distance away from the west, and now the address of the new house was in the east, even farther away from the west end of the village that Qi Jinzhou mentioned.
It was Liang Shengdi who said, "Yes! There is a road to the west. Go along the river and cross the bridge to the main road outside."
She looked here and there, and finally glanced at Chen Chunhua, which made Chen Chunhua confused. If someone didn't know, they would think that this old lady wanted to steal something to eat.
"It's just a little far, I can't tell you clearly, Sanni, you can take Xiaoqi there."
Chen Chunhua: ...As expected, she felt that something was wrong.
Sanni:?
Sanni: Me?
"Yes, who else is free here? I have to hurry to go out on the ship, and your aunt needs to do some laundry, so you're the only one free, so go ahead."
Chen Chunhua glanced at Sanni's expression, then looked at Liang Shengdi with a bit of disapproval. Before she could open her mouth, she was suppressed by the old lady.
"Don't waste time, you still have to come back to help make the paste after washing the dishes."
“It’s cement mixing.”
"Almost, hurry up. Xiao Qi, get in the car, we'll be late for the delivery later! Sanni, get in the car too. They saved your life, so this is not even a small favor. It will be quicker to deliver the goods and then go home."
Qi Jinzhou's eyes curved with laughter. This grandma is really interesting. He said thank you, said goodbye to the uncles inside, turned around and looked at Sanni with a smile.
"Then Comrade Sanni, I have to thank you this time."
Sanni gritted her teeth and said, "It's not a problem."
When the car started, Chen Chunhua was still complaining to Liang Shengdi.
"Mom! Stop messing around with couples!"
"Why did I order so carelessly! I see that Xiao Qi is interested in San Ni. And San Ni, don't look at her frowning face and unhappy face. If that girl really hates Xiao Qi, would she have obediently gotten in the car?
She was really unhappy and would have cursed out loud long ago. If someone forced her, there would be nothing but steel bars and bricks here, and she would pick them up and smash the car in a minute, and she would not be able to get my attention! "
Chen Chunhua: "... Let's not talk about the issue of him not becoming a live-in son-in-law. Xiao Qi saved them last time, and it was only a short time ago. Today is the second time they've met. How can you be sure that he's interested in Sanni? What if I'm wrong..."
"What's wrong with looking good? Young people's thoughts, huh!" Liang Shengdi curled her lips. "When Guoqing first met you, he said he would steal money from home as a betrothal gift for you. Didn't you two just go straight to the village to get the marriage certificate when you met the second time? Don't you like each other?"
Chen Chunhua: ...The situation was so pressing at that time, there was no time to let her choose slowly!
Of course, she wasn't saying that she didn't like Lin Guoqing, but to be honest, feelings were indeed cultivated after marriage, which was completely different from what Sanni was experiencing now...
Liang Shengdi was still humming, "When I first met your father-in-law, he said I was pretty, and then his mother asked me if I wanted to marry him. I said yes, and then we got married. There was no need for such trouble now..."
It takes time to date someone, so if you two are attracted to each other, that's enough..."
Chen Chunhua was a little speechless. Liang Shengdi was a typical example of survivor bias, because her husband and her in-laws were not the kind of family that would beat people or order their wives and daughters around, and they did not treat people as human beings.
Even in the Ma family, Lin Yulan's biggest problem is that she can't help herself. Keeping trying to have a son is the biggest harm to Lin Yulan, but the Ma family does not have the gene for beating people.
But what about other women who marry blindly? Like the Shen family, like the Zhu family, those women can't even save their lives after marrying into the family.
How can you marry someone just by looking at their face without knowing what kind of person they are inside?
————————————
But the older generation is really quick to talk about marriage. To talk for several years is just pure hooliganism!
