Regardless of what Hua Qingqing thought, Ning Hongzao's life became much easier after she paid for the dress, and even the attitude of her roommates softened considerably.
However, Ning Hongzao lost the desire to make friends.
Still alone.
She was naturally quiet and well-behaved, so she didn't really care whether anyone was with her or not. Her brother would pick her up every weekend, and her father would visit her occasionally.
Especially in the past month, my father has been visiting more often.
Grandma has difficulty walking and can't come here.
She misses her grandma.
Ning Hongzao arrived at the textile factory carrying a small bag.
She visited the textile factory quite often, and most of the people there recognized her. When they saw her, they would just make a few jokes and let her in.
However, she did see an unexpected man.
Han Qingshan?
What's this guy doing here?
Han Qingshan seemed to have seen her too, nodded at her, and then turned and left.
Of course, this was just a minor incident, and Ning Hongzao didn't take it to heart. Although many people in the village liked Han Qingshan, she wasn't one of them.
At least, she felt nothing for Han Qingshan. She felt she was still too young.
That's what she thought, but others had their eyes on her.
On Ning Anping's side, someone approached him, wanting to arrange a marriage for Ning Hongzao.
"You must be joking." Ning Anping looked at his cousin-in-law with a sneer. "Our Hongze isn't even married yet. What kind of marriage is this, with her brother not being married?"
This cousin's wife is named Wang Li, and she is the wife of his eldest cousin.
To be honest, Ning Anping had a very good relationship with his uncle and cousin, and he also got along well with the children in his cousin's family. However, he particularly disliked his cousin's wife.
"Oh dear, this jujube is already sixteen years old. I'm only doing this for her own good. Besides, it's harder for a girl to get married when she gets older," Wang Li said, picking up something from the table.
Why would a young woman go to university? Even though university is free and there are subsidies, once she's out there, she'll become unrealistic.
Your in-laws will likely look down on you.
"Eat your food. If you don't want to eat, go back."
This guy is really going too far. Even food and drink can't shut her up. She keeps coming over to freeload. He was already letting it go because of his older cousin, but she's getting more and more outrageous.
With such a thick skin, I don't know what my older cousin saw in her back then.
"Oh dear, I'm your sister-in-law, for goodness' sake. How can you talk to me like that? Don't you respect your older cousin?"
"Heh, I'd like to ask why my eldest cousin's wife came to dinner without bringing her eldest cousin along?"
It's easy to guess that Wang Li must have run away secretly without telling her family.
"I'm doing this all for Hongzao's sake. Let me tell you about my nephew from my mother's side. He's almost eighteen, right? My family wants to find a wife for my nephew, and that's when I thought of Hongzao from our family. The bride price includes three major items!"
"Your nephew from your maternal family?"
"Yes, as soon as I heard that, I thought of red dates, so I came over."
"Your nephew from your mother's side???" Ning Anping suddenly jumped up, grabbed Wang Li by the collar, and threw her outside. "I don't care about your nephew from your mother's side. He's an idiot. Get as far away from me as possible and don't let me see you again."
It absolutely infuriated him.
Everyone knows about the Wang family.
Wang Li's nephew, the eldest of whom also got into university last year, is now twenty-three years old.
If it were said to this nephew, although there is a difference in age, he wouldn't be so angry. But the one who just turned eighteen is an idiot, who needs someone to take care of his food and drink.
They even dared to say this was a good thing.
"I'm so angry." If it weren't for his older cousin, he would have given her a good beating.
Wang Li was thrown out by Ning Anping. Although she didn't suffer any physical harm, she definitely lost all face.
Especially after she got back, she didn't know how to tell her husband.
Sure enough, just as they reached the door, they saw Ning Anfang standing there with a serious expression and a cold demeanor. "You just went to Anping's?"
Wang Li nodded.
"What did you say that made Anping throw you out?"
"Oh my, your cousin is just too much! I'm his sister-in-law, and he treats me like this! What's wrong with me wanting to introduce Hongzao to someone because I see she's getting older? What's wrong with that?"
"Then who did you introduce to him?" Ning Anfang's eyes grew even colder.
“It’s my nephew from my mother’s side. He’s not eighteen yet. My mother said that if Hongzao marries into the family, the dowry will include three large items and five hundred yuan. Besides, it’s not that Hongzao is not allowed to study; she’ll continue her education.”
These days, when people in the village get married, they don't have such a grand gesture.
"Hmph, do you think red dates are anything special?" The one who spoke sarcastically was not her husband, but her son, Ning Hongzhi. "Our red dates are college students. Once they graduate, they'll be assigned jobs directly, and they'll earn more than five hundred a year."
That's a brilliant idea! Education doesn't cost money!
There are subsidies for university students now.
Besides, my second uncle dotes on Hongzao so much, and so does Hongze. In the end, all these betrothal gifts will go with Hongzao.
He ended up at his maternal grandmother's house.
Once Hongzao graduates, well, at least she'll get a monthly salary.
That's wishful thinking. He doesn't even know what kind of person his second uncle is.
“Hongzhi, I’m your mother. How can you side with outsiders and not help your mother at all?”
"Hey, Mom, I thought you'd forgotten, and that you still considered me an adopted child." Ning Hongzhi chuckled self-deprecatingly, since he had never really felt his mother's love.
He was raised by his father, while his mother was busy taking care of her nephews. Later, with the help of Hongze, he became a postman in town and got a proper job, which finally allowed his mother to see him again.
Of course, it wasn't for any particular reason, it was just to get him to give me money.
The most outrageous thing is that his mother even asked him to give the job to her nephew. Why should he?
However, Hongze later smoothed things over. He said that it was because of his personal connections that he was allowed to work in town, and if they wanted to replace him, he wouldn't care.
Her mother finally calmed down a bit.
"Is this how you talk to your mother?"
No one knows what kind of spell Ning Anping's family cast on them, making the father and son so obedient to them.
They didn't even consider her feelings.
It's true that her nephew is mentally challenged, but wasn't that because she didn't take good care of him back then? If she had taken good care of him, he would be such a handsome young man.
So now she wants to find him a wife, where did she go wrong?
