"What's the matter?" Shen Mangxiu asked.
Everyone in the village envied their niece's success, and several aunts often encouraged Shen Mangxiu to find Ji Jianguo and his wife and help her find a job in the city.
Scholar Chen Mang doesn't want to go to the city to work. Her family is not bad. Her husband has ways to make money. She has three children. Yuemei is now well-married. Yueyan has fallen in love with an educated youth and wants to go back to the city with him. She doesn't want to stay in Bing County.
As for Hongwei, he is still young now, so if he doesn't want to do anything, he can just not do it for the time being.
Thinking back to the time, the Xie Baitang family was so powerful that they found a job for their brothers in the supply and marketing cooperative. My God, it was like bestowing a hereditary title on their family. Every time Tian Guiying saw her, her eyes grew to her forehead.
Shen Mangxiu himself had no ambitions. Whether it was for himself or for his children, he never wanted to ask for help from others in his life, even from his own brothers and sisters.
No matter how others encouraged her, she would smile and interrupt them with other things to stop them from continuing.
After a long time, rumors began to spread outside, saying that Xie Sufen was unwilling to help and that Ji Xia still hated Xie Baitang's family. Shen Mangxiu also explained, but people didn't listen, and she was too lazy to say more. She just wanted to let her family know about her own affairs.
Xie Sufen said, "Xia Xia reminded me that marriage is a big deal and shouldn't be rushed. Didn't I introduce Yang Xiaojun to Yuemei earlier? I originally thought he was a good guy, but then I found out that his family is quite calculating. Yuemei is very straightforward, and I'm afraid that if she gets married, she won't get along with her family."
Shen Mangxiu thought it was something, and when he heard this, he said, "What are you thinking? Whether you can live a good life in the future depends on yourself, right? What kind of good temper do you think Yuemei has?"
Xie Sufen was reluctant to tell Ji Xia's original words, and just thought that she had inquired about them. "Ji Xia's father also said that Yang Xiaojun was not a good child. I was also careless. I always thought that his conditions were not bad. I also thought that Yang Xiaojun had a gentle personality, but he really didn't have much ability.
If you want to get married, you should marry a capable man. If your family is not well off, you can still make it on your own. If your family is well off and your parents can help you, you can get by temporarily, but when your parents are old and gone, it’s hard to say what will happen next.”
Seeing that her sister-in-law repeatedly broke up the marriage, Shen Mangxiu had to be cautious. "What should we do now? We're already together. If we break up, there must be a reason! Besides, Xia Xia is a few months younger than Yue Mei. Xia Xia already has a child, and Yue Mei's marriage is still unsettled. She's already 22 years old and will become an old maid."
Xie Yuemei had an indifferent attitude towards Yang Xiaojun. After all, they had just met, and she had previously disliked Yang Xiaojun's mild nature, but she didn't know what she disliked about it. Now, after hearing what her aunt said, she felt a little disgusted.
"Isn't it just a breakup? Why not just bring it up directly? Even if you're engaged, you can still cancel the engagement. People still get divorced after getting married." Xie Yuemei felt that Ji Xia must have said something, and most likely Ji Xia disapproved.
Shen Mangxiu just felt that it was very troublesome because of this matter, but Xie Sufen had good intentions in introducing her niece to someone. If she hadn't chosen the right person, she would have to spend more time with him to know his true feelings.
"How can it be so simple? People will gossip about you later." Chen Mangxiu said.
Xie Sufen felt very sorry and smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, I have to make it clear. We are all family. I will not hide it from you. It was Mrs. Yang who originally wanted to talk about this marriage. She repeatedly asked Xia Xia if she had any sisters. I said I only had a niece from my mother's side.
She repeatedly asked me to set Yang Xiaojun up with either Yuemei or Yueyan. Unexpectedly, they fell in love. Within two days, she started telling me that Yang Xiaojun was a substitute teacher, that he wanted to teach in Jijia Village, and that he wanted a regular position.
Chen Mangxiu was also a little dumbfounded. Although it was understandable, the way he ate was too ugly.
To be honest, if the two get married and there is a chance in the future, the Ji family will not refuse to help if they just ask. It will be a matter of convenience.
But, before the fate is even started, you already start asking for this and that. Why?
Xie Yuemei was disgusted and immediately became angry. "Aunt, I will never agree to this marriage. They have no ability, but they want their relatives, who are at the sixth level, to help them. They have no shame, but I still have some dignity."
Xie Sufen then said, "Yuemei, I was blind to find you such a marriage. If we can really break up, that's fine! However, there are some things I've told you that you should keep in your heart. Don't tell anyone else, for fear that the Yang family will find out and make a fuss about it."
"Aunt, go ahead and tell me. I won't tell anyone. Mom, don't tell me either. Don't tell Yueyan either, or she might not realize the seriousness of the matter and tell everyone about it."
Shen Mangxiu glanced at her daughter. She still needed her to teach her such things?
"I told your cousin that you wanted to be a fashion designer and didn't want to work in a factory. She said if you're willing to leave home and go south, she'd arrange a job for you. Our area is mostly full of industrial factories, while the textile industry in the south is very developed, with many factories and a wealth of talent."
Xie Yuemei listened and became very excited. "Then this marriage is even more impossible!"
She seemed to see a large number of garment factories waving at her. That was the industry she had always dreamed of. As long as she could engage in the career she liked, she would be willing to be an old maid all her life.
Xie Sufen said, "Even if you're willing to go, Yang Xiaojun might not. It would be best if we could break up peacefully."
Seeing her daughter so happy, Shen Mangxiu was worried, but now that she had the chance, she couldn't stop her. "Aunt, where does Xia Xia plan to arrange for her cousin?"
