After the engagement, all the people in the Qi family left. Zhou Shuimei sent the eldest wife's family away, but she did not mention leaving. She just hugged Ye Jianjun and played with him.
Ye Erzhu and his wife looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.
"Mom, shall we eat here this afternoon?"
Ye Erzhu was too lazy to guess what she wanted to do. She would say it sooner or later anyway.
Zhou Shuimei nodded in agreement.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qing was also wondering what the old woman was up to. He originally planned to go find Xiang Changlin but gave up because he was afraid that she would make some demands and his parents were too "filial" to agree to them.
Zhou Shuimei was patient enough. She sat on the kang and amused the child for more than half an hour before she spoke to Ye Erzhu. Her tone was full of pride, "Second brother, Mingtao's child is very good. You found a good son-in-law."
Each grandson-in-law is more promising than the other and they can help their family more.
"Thanks to the kid's aunt for bringing them together."
"It was difficult for me to ask because there were so many people around. The officer Mingtao served in the army must be very powerful, right?"
"That should be the case. I don't understand these things and I haven't asked in detail."
"You said he has become a company commander, so he must know a lot of people. Can you ask him to arrange a job for Jianhua?"
Zhou Shuimei's tone was already polite enough. If it was in the past, she would have given an order directly. Of course, if she really gave an order, it would depend on whether there was anyone who could indulge her.
Ye Erzhu frowned when he heard her purpose, "Mom, the two kids just got engaged today, how can I open my mouth to them? Besides, Jianhua is still in school, and he is so young, how can he work?"
"What's the point of going to school? Isn't it just to learn how to read and write so that you can have a bright future? If he can find a job for Jianhua in the city, then why should he go to school? Fifteen is not young anymore, isn't Fangfang engaged at sixteen?
I didn't ask you to say it now. Just wait two days and tell it before he returns to the team.
Jianhua is your nephew, so as an uncle, you should help him if you have connections. Jianjun is so young, and you will be sixty by the time he grows up. If our family wants to make a name for itself, we have to rely on Jianhua. When he becomes successful, he can help Jianjun, right? "
"Grandma, do you believe what you said? With Ye Jianhua's character, if he becomes successful, even you, the grandmother who has loved him since he was a child, will disown him!
Give Jianjun a hand. Jianjun has his sister and brother-in-law who love and protect him. You don't need to worry about him!"
Ye Qing had been listening outside the door, and he found her words ridiculous, so he walked in and retorted without waiting for Ye Erzhu to answer.
"You...what are you talking about? Isn't Jianhua your brother? You two have the same ancestor. Now that you have become successful and capable, you don't care about the family anymore, right?
Jianjun is still young, if you are bullied in your husband's family in the future, you will have to rely on your two brothers for support!"
Seeing her interrupting, Zhou Shuimei habitually wanted to scold her directly, but when she thought that the times were different now, she changed her words.
"Tsk~ They are all from the same ancestor as me, how can I care about everything? I'll just be thankful if they support me and don't stab me in the back.
You can't stand seeing our family and Fangfang doing well, right? They've just gotten engaged, and you're already targeting her. You're just trying to make her make a mistake. What if she gets angry and cancels the engagement? Will Fangfang still be alive? In the end, it's all in vain. You've ruined a good relative, and you're happy about that, right? !"
"You, you want to piss me off to death, don't you?" Zhou Shuimei pointed at Ye Qing, panting angrily, "Second brother! Do you want to do something about it?"
Now that Ye Qing has grown stronger and found a capable man, she doesn't dare to beat or scold her. But Ye Erzhu, as a father, can control her. He can't bear to see his mother being angered to death by his daughter.
"Mom, Qingqing's words may not sound good, but they are not without reason. We have just been engaged, and we still have two years to get married. Nothing is certain yet. His family originally thought that Fangfang was too young to get married right away. If his family really has a problem with our family, then this marriage will be hard to say.
Our family has finally found such a capable son-in-law, we can't let him run away! Let's talk about this later, at least we have to wait until they are married and stable before we can bring it up."
Ye Erzhu is not a fool. He would not gamble with his daughter's marital happiness. He has a son now, and if he dies, someone will break the pot where his death comes from. How can his nephew be compared with his own daughter?
Anyway, after they get married, they will be far away and won't come back for many years. They can just find other excuses then.
Zhou Shuimei didn't expect things to be so troublesome. She thought he was already a company commander, and it would be easy to help him find a job. But she didn't expect this marriage to be so unstable.
If we lose a long-term support because of this, it would be a loss. Now everyone in the brigade knows that Zhou Shuimei has two promising grandsons-in-law. Those old men and women are so envious of her, and they will have to give her filial gifts during the holidays in the future.
"Then let Changlin help find one in the county, and you can help too."
The old lady was not giving up and pointed at Ye Qing and gave her orders. The two of them had already obtained the marriage certificate, and it was a done deal, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Ye Qing laughed directly, "Old lady, you are old and your brain is not working well, right? Do you think that jobs in the city are as easy to find as cow dung in the fields?
If you ask me, you should stop worrying about it. Your precious grandson is very capable and he will be successful sooner or later."
According to the trend of his previous life, Ye Jianhua would marry his junior high school classmate and be arranged by his wife's family to work in the commune. If nothing unexpected happens in this life, it should be the same.
The reason why he was liked by female classmates was due to his handsome face and his sweet mouth. He took 50% of his looks from his father Ye Dashan, and the rest was all due to his own ability. Fortunately, he did not take after his mother like Ye Baozhu, otherwise, with his idle appearance, he would not be able to support himself even if he went home to farm.
Although Zhou Shuimei agreed with her that Ye Jianhua would have a bright future, she was also dissatisfied with her refusal.
"You can ask around. If there's a job, you can go even if you haven't been to school. Jianhua is a junior high school student, so there must be someone who wants him."
Who can I blame for not going to school? Isn't it because you are so obsessed with that little bit of money that you won't let go?
"Okay, I'll pay attention."
Ye Qing rolled his eyes silently and responded casually.
"I heard that you bought mung bean cakes for your grandma? And you also sent pork bones to the Xiang family?"
After the job search came to an end, Zhou Shuimei began to change the subject and settle accounts. It was fine to send the gift to the Xiang family, after all, it was her husband's family, and she would have to live after getting married. But what about sending the gift to her grandmother? Did she think her grandmother was dead?
