Chapter 228: Choosing a Brother-in-Law 1: Aren’t they both first marriages? The Chu family took the cake…
This is what Chu Lingze meant. There are four women in his family now. His mother and his sister are in the same group and are trying their best to take advantage of him; while his wife and her sister are in the same camp. His wife is concentrating on saving some private money and making plans for their small family.
So whether intellectually or emotionally, he wants to side with his wife.
But he couldn't stand his mother's crying and making a fuss, and she would always bring up how his sister sacrificed her own happiness to save her life, which annoyed him a lot.
Zhang Wang didn't understand. "You've already owed so much money for your sister. You've already repaid the so-called 'favor'. What are you afraid of?"
"You don't understand. I'm the eldest son, after all." This was a mountain weighing down Chu Lingze, a mountain that even the mighty Yugong couldn't lift. He couldn't help but sigh, "My mom's in poor health. Every time she gets angry, she gets sick. I can't really piss her off to death. What would that do to me?"
Zhang Wang couldn't help but laugh. "You're crazy, aren't you? You're the eldest son. There are only two children in your family, and it's not like you have many brothers to argue about. If you ask me, you should find a man for your sister to marry, and this problem will be solved."
"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but she said she doesn't want to get married for the time being." Chu Lingze was very worried. He asked Zhang Wang for a cigarette, lit it with his back to the electric fan, and puffed out smoke to vent his melancholy.
Zhang Wang didn't believe it and asked, "If she doesn't want to get married, why would she seduce Teacher Xu? I think she hasn't found anyone good yet, so she's just using this excuse to put you off. Why don't you go find the blacksmith and ask if there's anyone remarried with better conditions? After all, she's not getting married for the first time, so she won't suffer any loss."
It seemed to make sense. Chu Lingze finished his cigarette, patted his pants, stood up and said goodbye: "Then I'll go ask. Thanks."
"You're welcome. Just don't persuade me to get married in the future. Thank you!" Zhang Wang smiled and lay down, propped up his arms, listening to the radio. He didn't know how comfortable his life was.
Married people don’t understand the happiness of being single.
Chu Lingze really didn't understand, so he went to the blacksmith shop and asked carefully.
The blacksmith's wife said in embarrassment, "I'm not trying to offend you, but your sister's reputation is too bad now. No family with a little respect would be willing to marry her. Unless they find someone from a poor family who really can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, but then your sister might not be willing either."
That's true. Chu Lingze had no choice but to ask, "Are there no second or third marriages?"
"There is a good candidate for a third marriage, but your sister may not have the courage." The blacksmith curled her lips and decided to give up after thinking about it.
Chu Lingze saw a glimmer of hope and asked, "Who is it? Tell me about it. Maybe it will work."
"He's Director Feng from the thermal power plant. He almost got married to a young wife, but it was ruined by his second wife's family. After that, no one dared to matchmake for him. But I think it's better to forget it. Your sister has such a bad reputation. If the Ye family makes a fuss, they will break up and it won't work out." The blacksmith's wife shook her head and was not optimistic about Chu Lingyi's marriage.
It would have been fine if she had divorced the Shan family properly, not provoked Xu Wei, and not caused so much trouble. But now, everything is too late.
Chu Lingze could only sigh: "Thank you for your trouble. Please help me find out more."
"Okay." The blacksmith's wife didn't care about the monk's feelings, but she cared about the Buddha's feelings. It was Chu Lingze who was capable and brought filial piety.
He is thoughtful.
Chu Lingze went back home sighing. As soon as he got home, he saw his mother and wife fighting.
The ones pulling hair and smashing basins looked like two lunatics, while his sister stood by and watched the show with an excited look on her face, cracking a few melon seeds from time to time, looking so carefree.
Well, I know without asking that it must have been his sister who added fuel to the fire, causing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to completely break up.
He walked up with a dark face, pushed the two apart, grabbed Li Xiaorui's arm and walked out.
The couple walked all the way to the edge of the Jade Lake at the back of the alley before they started talking. Chu Ling didn't understand: "Didn't I tell you that if you have anything to say, wait until I come back and tell me. If you fight with my mother, you will be wrong even if you are right."
"It was your mother who started it." Li Xiaorui was so angry. Her mother-in-law was too disgusting. She recorded the amount of money for buying vegetables wrongly. She just said a few words, but she hated her already.
Chu Lingze was at home in the morning, and her mother-in-law didn't find a chance to take action. Now Chu Lingze has come home from get off work and hasn't come back yet. Doesn't this give the mother and daughter a chance to make trouble?
First, Chu Lingyi asked in a sarcastic tone, "Mom, why hasn't my brother come back yet? Could it be that he ran away because of my sister-in-law?"
Then Chu's mother agreed, "That can't be possible. This is his home. If anyone wants to leave, it should be an outsider."
Doesn’t this mean that Li Xiaorui is an outsider and this is not her home?
Li Xiaorui endured it at first and didn't lose her temper, but Chu Lingyi was determined to cause trouble and went to bully her crazy sister. Li Xiaorui tried to stop her and pushed Chu Lingyi away. Chu's mother then got angry and rushed up to fight with Li Xiaorui.
At this moment, she told him the whole story in detail. Chu Lingze felt disheartened after listening to it and advised: "Just bear with it for a while. Take a rest tomorrow. I'll go to the West City Thermal Power Plant for a walk."
Li Xiaorui was curious: "What are you doing at the thermal power plant?"
"Director Feng over there has been divorced for a long time and hasn't found a wife yet." Chu Lingze clenched his fists. He couldn't keep this girl no matter what.
Hurry up and find someone to marry her off to and put an end to it.
After dinner, he went to see Aunt Mao. Aunt Mao was the go-to person in Ba Tiao Hutong and should know Director Feng’s preferences better.
However, Aunt Mao was not at home. After asking Aunt Qian next door, Chu Lingze learned that Aunt Mao had gone to the Qi family behind. He had no choice but to hurry to the small courtyard by the lake to look for her.
When we got to the door, we saw Maodan and Xiaoxingxing lying on the ground playing with a ball. The two little kids were so cute with their little butts sticking up high.
Chu Lingze suddenly wanted to have a child. By then, his mother would have a grandson to take care of and would not have time to act like a troublemaker around his sister.
I still have to work hard with Li Xiaorui when I get back.
He smiled and said hello: "Auntie Mao, I want to ask you about someone."
Aunt Mao turned around and looked at him, smiling: "It's Lingze, what's the matter? Come in and tell me."
It was the first time that Chu Lingze visited his old classmate's house after returning. He felt a little uncomfortable. He took a look at the furnishings in the yard and had to admit that it was like a small amusement park. Various baskets in the yard were filled with toys.
No wonder Aunt Mao brought her children here to play, it saves her trouble.
He smiled and greeted Tang Fengyuan: "Auntie Tang, have you eaten?"
Tang Fengyuan is learning how to make a woolen doll from Xie Chunxin. It is a cute pink bunny doll for Xiaoyueliang.
Hearing this, he looked up and said, "It's Ling Ze. Why do you look so sad? Is your work not going well?"
"No, the work is going well. Editor-in-Chief Yao is very capable. Just follow her pace." Chu Lingze was not flattering her, but he really felt that Qi Changxiao had married a powerful wife.
Tang Fengyuan smiled and said to Xie Chunxin, "See, what did I say? You gave birth to a good daughter. Everyone who sees her will praise her."
Xie Chunxin also laughed: "That's the child's own achievement. I didn't contribute much, I feel ashamed."
Tang Fengyuan didn't know how to respond to this, so he decided not to talk about the unhappy past. He turned around and looked at Aunt Mao: "Old Mao, Ling Ze wants to talk to you. You should accompany him home to talk. He won't feel uncomfortable with us around. Leave the child here, and I'll help you look after him."
"Okay." Aunt Mao also saw it, but Chu Ling would not come to the temple for no reason, so he got up and left.
More than half an hour after the two left, Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao came back from outside.
The child has been in school for a while and has adapted well. The couple had nothing to do after get off work today, so they went treasure hunting.
This time they gained a lot, and Yao Zhizhi planned to think of a way to send it to her third brother so that he wouldn't run out of money in Hong Kong.
When I entered the house, I saw Maodan playing pinball with Xiaoxingxing and asked curiously, "Mom, where's Aunt Mao? Is there something wrong?"
Aunt Mao just came back and said, "Nothing, that kid from the Chu family came to me to ask about Director Feng."
"Director Feng?" Yao Zhizhi hadn't heard that name in a long time and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is he asking about this?"
"What else can you do? You want to find a matchmaker for his sister." Aunt Mao was not optimistic about this matter. Director Feng had not been able to find a wife for his third marriage for so long, wasn't it because the Ye family was so powerful and noisy?
The Ye family did recommend several young daughters who were ready to get married, but Director Feng didn't like any of them.
So Aunt Mao whispered, "Even Director Feng didn't like Ye Jun from your sister's radio station, so how could he possibly like Chu Lingyi? I don't think it's possible, but I see that Xiao Chu's family is really not peaceful, and I feel really bad about it. If it really doesn't work out, I can introduce someone else, but Xiao Chu himself doesn't want to, thinking that his sister wouldn't like him, so I had to give up the idea."
Yao Zhizhi was curious: "Oh? Who does Aunt Mao want to introduce her to?"
"It's Old Wu's family. He still has two sons who are not married yet." Aunt Mao was talking about the woolen mill.
Yao Zhizhi hadn't seen anyone from this family for a while, and couldn't help but think of the missing Wu Er and Xiao Ding. She wondered if the couple were still together or if they had found a secluded paradise to hide away.
In short, apart from Wu Er, there are few good people in the Wu family. They are actually on par with troublemakers like Chu Lingyi.
She smiled and took a sip of water: "Auntie Mao, which son of the Wu family do you want to talk about? Aren't those two first-time marriages? The Chu family has taken a big advantage and they are still unwilling? Their requirements are quite high."
That's right. Aunt Mao also found it unbelievable and couldn't help but curl her lips. "Given Chu Lingyi's stinking reputation, it's good enough that someone is willing to marry her. But she's so picky. I really don't know what she's thinking. I just saw that Lingze was a sensible child and couldn't bear it. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother to care about Chu Lingyi's affairs. What's the point of getting into trouble for nothing?"
Yeah, what's the point? Aunt Mao is kindhearted and there aren't many people who can make her angry.
Yao Zhizhi could only comfort him, "You don't owe them anything. Whether the love succeeds or not, it's not your fault."
