There was no expression on Jiang Xiufen's face, but if Zhang Yumei looked down, she would see Jiang Xiufen's clenched fists and would know how much Jiang Xiufen hated her at that moment.
Jiang Xiufen said slowly, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister-in-law, but I don't have anyone I like. When I find someone I like, I'll bring him over for you to take a good look."
Zhang Yumei continued to smile and said slowly, "Yes, marriage is a big deal and can't be vague. After all, you will be living with me for the rest of your life, so you need to be extremely cautious.
But, sister Xiufen, this isn't about gossip. The main point is, what kind of man do you like? You can talk to me, and I can help you find one."
Jiang Xiufen had been so distracted by Zhang Yumei that she had no time to think. She blurted out, "I like Brother Xie."
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yumei and Jiang Xiufen were stunned.
Jiang Xiufen was filled with regret. How could she be so incompetent as to actually make such a mistake in front of Zhang Yumei? If she told this to Brother Xie, would he think she was too unladylike? Would he distance himself from her from then on?
Jiang Xiufen quickly added, "I like people as outstanding as Brother Xie."
When Zhang Yumei heard Jiang Xiufen say that she liked Xie Heng, she wanted to kill her. She was so shameless. Xie Heng had already married her, and she still liked her so shamelessly. What a bitch.
No wonder in her previous life, not long after she divorced Xie Heng, Xie Heng married Jiang Xiufen.
Zhang Yumei's expression didn't change. "Indeed, it's not easy to find someone as outstanding as your brother Xie. You don't know, your brother Xie is so good to me and Zhaorui. Oh, sister Xiufen, look at me. I was clearly talking about you, but somehow I ended up talking about me."
But don't worry, sister, after you get married, you will definitely be as happy as your sister-in-law."
Jiang Xiufen looked at Zhang Yumei bragging about herself and secretly mocked her in her heart. It turned out that Zhang Yumei was not at a disadvantage.
Jiang Xiufen felt a slight pain in her heart when she heard what Zhang Yumei said. She wanted to reach out and rub it, but when she thought of Zhang Yumei still showing off in front of her, she held back.
Zhang Yumei continued, "Sister Xiufen, as far as I know, there's no one in our army as good as you, Brother Xie. Why don't you lower your standards a bit? Or maybe look somewhere else?"
Jiang Xiufen didn't want to reply to Zhang Yumei, but she wanted to know what Zhang Yumei was up to. Was she simply showing off in front of her, or was she motivated by something else? If so, what was she after?
"Sister-in-law, I know there are very few people as outstanding as Brother Xie. I also know that I may not meet him, but I don't want to lower my standards. I wonder where you meant when you just asked me to look somewhere else?" As she spoke, Jiang Xiufen looked at Zhang Yumei with a curious and expectant expression.
Zhang Yumei thought her words had worked and that Jiang Xiufen was that kind of person.
"Sister Xiufen, listen to what I have to say. If you don't find someone you like in our army, it's okay. You can look for someone outside, like in a military hospital.
The doctors in our military hospital are at least college graduates. That means they have a high level of education, good jobs, high salaries, and a bright future. You never know when they will be promoted.
"Sister Xiufen, don't underestimate our military hospital. While its facilities may not be the best in Shandong Province, it's still affiliated with our army. Who knows how many young and energetic men there are there. If you're attracted to it, it would be a great pleasure."
Jiang Xiufen was filled with regret as she listened to Zhang Yumei talk about the military hospital. Yes, how could she have forgotten about it? But with her qualifications, could that university student be interested in her?
Jiang Xiufen thought for a moment, then turned her attention to Zhang Yumei again, her heart full of doubts. Although Zhang Yumei did give her a good idea, she couldn't be so kind. Who knows what traps are behind this?
Jiang Xiufen quickly declined, saying, "Sister-in-law, you really think too highly of me. I'm just a poor country girl, and I rely on my sister and brother-in-law to live in the staff housing complex. How could those university-educated doctors in the hospital look down upon a peasant like me? Sister-in-law, I know you mean well, but I really can't afford to be with those educated people." After saying that, Jiang Xiufen continued to talk to Zhang Yumei for a few more words, and then left.
Zhang Yumei stood there, looking at Jiang Xiufen, and said sarcastically, "Tsk, you're quite self-aware and know that a peasant like you isn't worthy of them. Humph, but why can't I believe you won't not go to the hospital?"
Zhang Yumei stood there, her mind full of the scene of Jiang Xiufen going to the hospital. She kept muttering to herself, "God bless you, please make sure Jiang Xiufen and Zhao Wenbo meet, otherwise all my arguments today will be in vain."
While Zhang Yumei was muttering to herself, Jiang Xiufen had already returned home with the things she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative. Jiang Xiufen pushed the door open and saw her sister Jiang Hongmei sitting in the living room.
Jiang Xiufen hurriedly tried to quicken her pace to the kitchen, but as soon as she took a step, she was caught by Jiang Hongmei.
Jiang Hongmei asked again persistently, "Xiu Fen, have you found someone you like?"
Jiang Xiufen sighed and replied irritably, "Sister, we can't rush into marriage. The more we rush, the more chaotic things become. Or do you want to see me unhappy for the rest of my life?"
Jiang Hongmei said quickly, "Pfft, pfft, pfft, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you curse yourself like that? I'm worried so much for you, for you to find a good man as soon as possible, to get married as soon as possible, and not think about Captain Xie all day long.
I'm really scared. I'm scared that one day you'll really lose all sense of responsibility and make a mistake. Then I won't be able to protect you anymore, and I'll hate myself to death."
"Sister, don't worry. I'm grown up now. I understand everything I need to know. I won't make any mistakes. Besides, I can't even see Brother Xie now, so how could I make any mistakes?"
"You..." Jiang Hongmei pointed at Jiang Xiufen angrily and was about to teach her a lesson, but Jiang Xiufen ran into the kitchen and started cooking, leaving Jiang Hongmei alone sitting in the living room, feeling resentful.
