Hearing Fu Baoer's question, Li Ying became excited. She proudly told him about the marriage she had introduced: "I tell you, this time I am really doing this for Zhao Zhao's own good..."
The man Li Ying was talking about was named Hu. He worked in the county government as a secretary to a leader. He had a bright future. Three generations of his family were all farmers with a clean background. He had three older sisters and one younger sister, and he was the only male in his family. He was very much loved by his parents.
"Oh? How did you get such good conditions?" Fu Baoer raised his eyebrows and asked the most crucial question.
Li Ying's eyes dodged for a moment. It was a coincidence that she knew this man. Some time ago, her mother was ill, and Li Ying went to the city to visit her. She heard this man surnamed Hu talking to his family at the door of a ward.
It seems that he has some health problems and cannot stand up like a normal person. He has been to the hospital many times but there is no solution. Hu's mother has turned gray with worry. Her son is in his twenties and still has no partner. His leader has introduced several to him, but they dare not agree. If people find out, will they still be able to live as normal people in the future?
Hu's mother suggested that they find an honest and decent young girl from the countryside who was simple and easy to fool, marry her first to cover up her son's defects, and then divorce her after his illness was cured.
Li Ying's heart moved at that moment. Isn't Zhao Zhao the most suitable? Even if they found any problems later, no matter how powerful their Fu family was, they couldn't stand up to someone who worked as a secretary for the leader, right?
Besides, how can I interfere in what happens in the bedroom of a young couple?
Li Ying pushed the door open and walked in, which scared the mother and son of the Hu family. Hearing Li Ying's self-recommendation, Hu Lingquan laughed. There was such a good thing in the world where someone could give him a pillow when he was dozing off, so how could he not agree?
Isn't it just finding a job for Li Ying's son? It's no big deal. Hu Lingquan learned about Zhao Zhao's situation and became even more satisfied. She had attended high school and was a worker-peasant-soldier student, which meant that she not only had a good background but also had a good cultural level. It would be an honor to marry her.
Hu's mother also nodded continuously. As for how there could be such a cruel mother in the world who pushed her daughter into the fire pit even though she knew it was a fire pit, they did not care. Favoring sons over daughters was a very normal thing in the Hu family.
Hu Lingquan has three older sisters and one younger sister. He has understood since childhood that for any good thing in this world, women have to give way to men.
Li Ying recalled this in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell the truth. "It was a friend of your uncle who introduced her. She's not a random person. If you don't believe me, go ask around. Secretary Hu in the boss's office is young and very talented. If she hadn't been so picky, she wouldn't have been chosen by our family."
Hu Lingquan did have good appearances, so Li Ying was not afraid of them investigating.
Fu Baoer sneered. Li Ying's elder brother was still being sent down to the countryside. Where would he get any friends to introduce him to? How many decent people could such low-class people like them know? They lied without even thinking.
However, Fu Baoer didn't care where Li Ying found this secretary. Even if the conditions were good, their family wouldn't want one. "Oh, go ahead. We know about this."
Li Ying didn't expect Fu Baoer to not refute on the spot. Looking at the expressions of others, they were all silent. Li Ying immediately felt that the matter was settled.
I know that the identity of a leader's secretary is very tempting.
Qin Chunli smiled awkwardly. The family Li Ying introduced was indeed better off than the one she mentioned. "That's great, great! A family with a daughter is sought after by hundreds of families. Our Zhaozhao girl is beautiful and capable, so it's only natural that we should be more selective. I...I'll be leaving first. You guys should think it over carefully."
After seeing Qin Chunli off, Li Ying was still sitting there, showing no regard at all. Fu Baoer gave a mocking smile and said, "Let's go. I'll take you back myself."
Li Ying's heart skipped a beat. "No... no need. I can walk by myself. It's just these two steps."
After saying that, she left without looking back. Fu Baoer watched Li Ying's back as she walked away: "Grandma, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
Jiang Fengxia never asked what Bao'er was doing. She just told him to be careful. Zhao Zhao wanted to follow, but was rejected by Fu Bao'er. So she didn't insist and sat on the chair in a bad mood, feeling unhappy.
"Don't worry, your grandfather and I won't force you to get married," Jiang Fengxia comforted her granddaughter. "Just ignore what your mother says."
Zhao Zhao hugged Jiang Fengxia's waist and nodded vigorously. She knew that her grandparents would not force her, but they just felt that as she got older, she had more and more worries.
......
"Tsk, no matter how arrogant you are, you look down on others every day, and now you still think the marriage I said is good." Li Ying returned home and washed clothes in the backyard, rubbing them vigorously while venting her dissatisfaction. "What's so great about it? No matter how powerful the Shen family is, can they catch up with the officials?"
Secretary Hu's promotion in the future is unknown, Li Ying thought secretly. In a few days, the two old men from the Fu family will definitely come to her to beg her for marriage. Then she will have to give them a good scolding.
Fu Baoer brought Heiwa over the backyard wall, landed quietly, and asked Heiwa to guard the door. Then Fu Baoer walked slowly towards Li Ying who was squatting on the ground.
Li Ying was still cursing, saying that her three daughters were unfilial and would not be rewarded in the future, and that the two elders of the Fu family would not have a good death. Finally, she cursed Fu Xiuzhi to have an unhappy marriage and that she would be abandoned sooner or later.
"Fu Xiuzhi is so lucky to be married to the capital, but you don't even consider whether you have that kind of blessing. I curse you to never give birth to a son..."
Fu Baoer laughed in anger. It seemed that she was too soft-hearted and failed to teach Li Ying a lesson. "Since you care so much about our family, how about I send you to the capital and see for yourself whether my aunt can give birth to a son?"
"Ahhh, you... you... how did you get in!" Li Ying was frightened by Fu Baoer and turned around suddenly, "I... I'm not..."
Fu Baoer kicked Li Ying in the chest, causing her to fall. Li Ying screamed in pain, her face pale. The kick almost killed her.
"Ouch, ouch," Li Ying rolled over, clutching her chest. "I'm going to die! A daughter hitting her own mother is unjust..."
Before Li Ying could scream even louder, Fu Bao'er slapped her twice. Li Ying's head was buzzing and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood. She looked at Fu Bao'er in disbelief, "You...you...you really dare to hit me!"
"What's wrong with hitting you?" Fu Baoer pulled Li Ying up from the ground. "If murder wasn't illegal, do you think you'd be alive today?"
Li Ying screamed and tried to break free from Fu Baoer's grasp. "I'm your mother! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. Not only are you unfilial, but you even dared to hit me and even kill me! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"I want to see if God dares to strike me down." Fu Baoer kicked Li Ying again, sending him flying. Li Ying directly crashed into the pile of firewood in the yard, rolled over on the ground a few times, and spat out two blood-stained teeth from his mouth.
