Chapter 8 Before the Fellowship (1)



At Zhang Dabing's house, although Zhang Dabing was still angry with Zhang Yumei for what happened today, when he looked at Xie Heng's information, he had long forgotten his dissatisfaction with Zhang Yumei.

He smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad, Yumei still has good taste."

Yu Zhaodi mocked from the side: "Father, what kind of vision does that damned girl Yumei have? She's so shameless that she even came to be someone's stepmother. How could I have given birth to such a shameless girl? It's better that ours is talented. She will definitely have a bright future."

"What do you know, woman? Do you know who Yumei likes? Why are you just talking nonsense here?"

"Who else could it be? Everyone in the family compound said he's just a remarried rural man with three children."

"I'm talking to a cow. Let me tell you again, the man Yumei has her eyes on is only 28 years old. He's already become a regimental commander at such a young age, and he's currently studying at the military academy next door. Do you know what that means?"

Yu Zhaodi shook her head.

Zhang Dabing said helplessly, "It means that the organization values ​​him, and that he will achieve great things in the future. If our Yumei can really marry him, our talented people can also benefit from it."

"If it weren't for your short-sightedness, the eldest and second sons would have graduated from high school, maybe even gone to college and married officers. Our family would be much more capable than it is now. Look at Commander Xu's daughter, Xu Zhiyi. She's the same age as our daughter, and so many people have come to her house in advance. But she always chooses the ones she meets. When have you ever seen anyone choose her?"

"I...I'm thinking of marrying them off to make room for our talented children. I'll also let them go to high school. If they can graduate from junior high school, I'll treat them very well. Why spend that spare money?"

Zhang Dabing looked at Yu Zhaodi, who was unmoved, and shook his head in anger.

Yu Zhaodi continued to ask, "Dad, is the man Yumei has her eyes on really a regimental commander? Will he become a high-ranking official in the future?"

"No mistake."

"That's great! What are we waiting for? Send someone to check it out! Otherwise, what if someone else snatches it away?"

"You are so short-sighted. We are marrying off our daughter, and she's a first-time bride. She graduated from a technical secondary school, has a decent job, and lives in the city. How could we possibly come here and let someone pick and choose? If we go find a matchmaker first, that would really ruin this marriage."

"So what should we do? Just watch helplessly? As the child's father, you should be prepared for the worst. If someone really snatches him away, we'll have nowhere to cry!"

Zhang Dabing pondered, "Let me think about it. This isn't urgent. We can't rush into it. It would be beneath our dignity."

"well."

After Zhang Yumei got home from get off work, she saw Yu Zhaodi's rosy face and she also smiled at herself, without any disgust like she had in the past few days.

"What's up with you today? Did you get rich?"

"I wish I could get rich."

Zhang Yumei curled her lips and said nothing.

"Is the man you're looking for a regimental commander? Or is he studying at a military academy?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

Yu Zhaodi looked at Zhang Yumei's nonchalant expression and angrily slapped her arm. "You silly girl, why didn't you tell your mother? If you had told her, would people outside be able to laugh at our family like this? Will they laugh at our family's jokes?"

"Ouch, that hurts. Let them talk as they please. Just pretend you can't hear."

"You silly girl, you don't know who those people in the yard are, and you pretend not to hear. You don't care about our family's reputation, why do you only care about yourself?"

"cut."

"What are you cutting? You're just spoiled by your dad. What's the point of a little girl going to a technical secondary school? You're not a child anymore, but you stay at home all day, doing nothing but eating."

"I don't need your help."

"Don't you want me to take care of it? Let your dad take care of it? Haha, your dad brought back Xie Heng's information today, and he said he was very satisfied, but he just wouldn't ask anyone to match you up. If you still want your dad to take care of it, just wait, sooner or later it will all be in vain."

Zhang Yumei's face suddenly changed, "Impossible, you are lying to me. My dad is obviously very satisfied with Xie Heng, how could he not want someone to invite us to meet each other. I'll go ask my dad." As she said that, Zhang Yumei walked towards Zhang Dabing's study.

Yu Zhaodi looked at Zhang Yumei's back and said with a smile, "You little brat, you dare to fight with my mother? You're a little naive."

When Yu Zhaodi thought of Xie Heng, she said, "Oh, that's great! I'm going to have a son-in-law who's a high-ranking official. I'm so blessed with talent."

In the study, Zhang Dabing was still looking at Xie Heng's information and sighed, "Alas, what a pity. If it was a first marriage, I would definitely have more face."

"Knock knock"

"Enter."

Zhang Yumei stood in front of Zhang Dabing, looking domineering. "Dad, why don't you arrange for Xie Heng and I to meet?"

Zhang Dabing shouted angrily, "Shut up! You're a girl, but you're talking about men. Don't you care about your reputation? Don't you care about the reputation of our Zhang family? Are you determined to bring shame to our Zhang family?"

Zhang Yumei muttered quietly, "Compared to Xie Heng, face is worth nothing."

"What are you saying? Speak louder."

"nothing."

Zhang Dabing sighed, "It's not that I don't want you to meet each other, it's just that now is not the right time. Yumei, after all, you're from the city, graduated from a technical secondary school, and have such a good job. If you insist on going to meet him, do you think you'll be able to control Xie Heng in the future?"

Zhang Yumei retorted, "Why not?"

"Don't act tough in front of me. Although Xie Heng is from the countryside, he is at least a regimental commander and has combat experience. It's easy for him to deal with a girl like you. Although Xie Heng's parents are both from the countryside, do you think you can defeat them? Not to mention his other relatives in the Xie family. So, I need to think about this matter between you and Xie Heng."
