Huang Mei asked Zhu Youjie to close the door, then she grabbed his ear and said, "You kid, why did you bring her back without telling me? She's obviously from a good family. If we want to go, we have to go to her family first. Otherwise, what will her parents think if they find out?"
"Mom, listen to my explanation. Yanyan had a fight with her family and had nowhere to go, so I brought her back. Also, her parents don't really agree with us being together, so that's why I haven't told you yet."
"So that's how it is. If her parents don't agree, you can't bring her back, right? Others will think you've kidnapped someone's daughter." Huang Mei said a little angrily.
Zhu Youjie said in a muffled voice: "But I like Yanyan, and she likes me too. I want to marry her."
"Then why don't her parents agree with you two?"
"You just dislike me because I'm from the countryside."
"What's wrong with being from the countryside? Everyone in the past was from the countryside. When class background was being evaluated a few years ago, we all had good family backgrounds and the city people were all rushing to marry us."
"Mom, you know that was a few years ago. Things are different now. I understand Yanyan's parents. We were all poor before, so we didn't notice it. But since I went to college, I've seen how other people live. When I look at our lives, it's like heaven and earth. What's more, Yanyan's family is a family of two cadres. Even a few years ago, Yanyan didn't suffer any hardship."
Huang Mei sighed and said, "I know, big red door meets big red door, wooden door meets wooden door! In terms of looks, you and that girl are a perfect match. As for family background, just look at her white skin, it's not something a family like ours can afford. You went to college and will have a good job in the future. If she doesn't mind, it's fine, but if she does, there's nothing to say. Otherwise, what did I say to you just now? You like her!"
"Mom, I don't want to give up." Zhu Youjie said with his head down.
"Then you should try harder and strive to get a good job after graduation, and flatter others in front of their parents. If that doesn't work, forget it. But there is one thing I have to tell you, you can work hard, but you can't do anything reckless. Don't learn from those scoundrels who have children before getting married. Our family is poor, but we are also clean. If you dare to do anything reckless, I will let your brothers beat you up together." Huang Mei said and went to the cabinet to find sheets and quilt covers.
Zhu Youjie's eyes flashed, but he still nodded.
Under the eaves, Liang Yuan was also talking to Zhang Yanyan. Because Zhu Youjie often mentioned his sixth brother and his wife to her, Zhang Yanyan had some understanding of Liang Yuan and his wife.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Youjie that you are an educated youth who came to Beijing. I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask if your family agrees when you marry Sixth Brother?" Zhang Yanyan leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Liang Yuan spoke frankly, "I had a falling out with my family when I went to the countryside. I told them after I married Youliang. Of course they didn't agree, but the mountains are high and the land is far away, so they can't do anything about it."
"I see. But I can see you definitely don't regret it. After all, I can tell from your face that you're doing well. I think life is what one makes it, and Youjie isn't a bad guy. To be honest, my family doesn't approve of Youjie and I being together. They even brought up your educated youth, saying that some married educated youth wanted to divorce and return to the city, but I wanted to go back to the countryside. They called me stupid, etc., but I don't think I'm stupid, so I wanted to ask you this. Sister-in-law, please don't mind." Zhang Yanyan said with some regret. After all, she was Zhu Youjie's sister-in-law, so why would she ask such questions?
"It's okay, your parents are doing this for your own good." Liang Yuan said indifferently.
In the room, Zhu Youjie was about to go out when Huang Mei called him again.
"Has any fairy asked you for money recently? If so, don't give her any money, okay? She gave all her part-time job earnings to Wang Zhao. I told her she's being reasonable. It's like someone's cursed her. She's completely confused."
"She is just a fool. I tried to persuade her as early as when I found out that she was with Wang Zhao, but she refused to listen. I didn't even know what kind of person Wang Zhao was. I warned her a long time ago, but she still fell for him. No wonder, he is just a womanizer. Youxian is stupid and there is nothing she can do about it once she falls for him. I will find a chance to beat that guy up and make him stay away from Youxian." Zhu Youjie said angrily.
"Don't do anything stupid. You are still a student. Don't mess around and you won't be able to finish your studies." Huang Mei hurriedly advised him.
"Mom, don't worry, I won't let him recognize me." Zhu Youjie said confidently. Wang Zhao loved drinking, so he would just put a sack on him on his way back.
"No. Forget it. He's not here when you want to find him. He said he went to Shenzhen to purchase goods. From what your sister said, I think Wang Zhao should be able to make a lot of money this time. If he can really change his bad habits, considering his family background, your sister can live a good life by marrying him." Huang Mei comforted herself.
"Tsk, having money will only make him more arrogant, just wait and see. Forget it, she won't listen to anything you say now, she will know when she suffers a loss." Zhu Youjie shook his head helplessly and walked out.
When he came out, he happened to see Zhu Youliang coming in, so he introduced him to Zhang Yanyan as his sixth brother.
When Liang Yuan saw Zhu Youjie coming out, she went to the kitchen. Song Hehua was cooking and Zhu Youtian was lighting the fire.
As soon as Song Hehuapu saw Liang Yuan, he immediately said excitedly, "Seventh Brother is really good at denying things! Do you know what this girl's father does? He's the one who manages the purse strings for the entire county."
Liang Yuan nodded, "He is quite capable."
Seeing her indifferent expression, Song Hehua thought she was unhappy because she was outdone, so she smiled and said, "Don't be unhappy. Compared to Miaomiao and me, you're much better. You don't know that in the eyes of the villagers and my parents, we're not as good as you anyway. Just get used to it."
Seeing that she had misunderstood, Liang Yuan didn't refute her. She smiled and said, "Although I am better than you in studying, I am far behind you two sisters-in-law in doing housework. After all, it is because of me that the two sisters-in-law have suffered. It is my fault. Tomorrow I will prepare a table of food and treat you two to a meal as an apology."
"Hey, I knew you were a generous person, Yuanyuan. It's nothing to apologize for. But if you really want to treat us, Miaomiao and I will definitely come." Song Hehua said happily.
Zhu Youtian, however, said from below, "You're not as good as others, yet you blame them? You even want them to treat you to a meal. How dare you be so arrogant? Yuanyuan, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nagging."
Song Hehua said unconvincedly, "How am I talking nonsense? Wasn't it Yuanyuan who invited us? I wouldn't have eaten if I hadn't been so shameless. Go away, a woman is talking, why are you, a grown man, butting in on her?" Song Hehua glanced outside and praised, "I'm afraid it will be the seventh brother's wife who will take the top spot in the future. This girl is also a college graduate. I heard she has a higher degree than the seventh brother, and her family is so well-off. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, the Zhu family is really going to be very lucky this time."
