Although being high-profile is not good, Liu Nian just wanted to do it.
That was so satisfying! Liu Nian clapped his hands, stood up, and walked back with Zhang Suzhen.
"By the way, Niannian," Zhang Suzhen said, "Wu Qi is bringing his parents over tomorrow. The family is inviting the son-in-law. You are Sufeng's benefactor, so you can't be absent."
"This is great news!" Liu Nian said happily, supporting Zhang Suzhen's arm. "It seems this matter is about to be settled?"
Zhang Suzhen smiled and said, "I hope so."
She felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't say it outright. Wu Qi's whole family were urban residents with government-subsidized grain rations, while her sister was from the countryside.
I'm afraid my in-laws will look down on me. Even if they don't, I won't have a good life once I move to the city and don't have a proper job there.
The next day, the Zhang family got busy early, sweeping the yard several times, splashing water, and even wiping the stones at the entrance clean.
Zhang Ma killed a chicken, slaughtered a goose, and bought a lot of side dishes and candy, making a very presentable scene, just waiting for the Wu family to come to the door.
"Are you nervous?" Liu Nian teased Su Feng as she helped her draw her eyebrows, turning to the side.
With her rosy cheeks full of shyness, Zhang Sufeng nodded gently.
“I feel like I’m not good enough for Wu Qi.” Zhang Sufeng’s tone was full of inferiority. “I have no skills, and I wasn’t good-looking before.”
Ultimately, it was a lack of confidence. Zhang Sufeng forced a smile and said, "But thankfully, Wu Qi doesn't mind me."
But what about his family? Marriage is about matching social status and economic conditions.
What women want is not for men to dislike them, but for their complete love. Liu Nian sighed inwardly.
Zhang Sufeng knew this principle. Although she had prepared herself mentally, her heart sank when she saw that only Wu Qi's sister, Wu Hui, came to visit.
"My parents are busy with work, so they sent me to visit first." Wu Hui placed the gift she brought on the table and said with a smile, "I don't know if Uncle and Aunt will like it."
Wu Qi stood next to Zhang Sufeng and said apologetically, "They had something come up with at work and can't come."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang exchanged awkward glances and quickly served tea and water.
Looking at the environment of the house, Wu Hui frowned slightly and looked Zhang Sufeng over again.
She's pretty, but what good is being pretty? She can't do anything, her education is poor, she's incompetent! And she's from a rural area. At that moment, Wu Hui was extremely unwilling, and her face darkened.
Looking at Wu Hui's expression, Liu Nian understood the general idea.
"Come on, come on, let's eat!" Aunt Zhang quickly set the table.
Wu Hui frowned again as she looked at the food being served from the large pot, wondering if it was clean.
The meal was awkward and uncomfortable; the Zhang family didn't dare utter a sound. They could tell Wu Hui was an intellectual, and they, being peasants, felt ashamed and knew they were unworthy of such a family.
"Actually, I think Su Feng is still young. Although my younger brother is a few years older than Su Feng, people nowadays believe in late marriage."
Wu Hui put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "There's no rush for them. Wu Qi is busy with work right now. He needs to establish his career first before starting a family. That way, it won't be unfair to Su Feng. Don't you think so?"
This statement was impeccable, and the attitude was very clear: they were unwilling, otherwise they wouldn't have sent an older sister over, but they couldn't say anything for their son's sake, so they could only come up with this excuse.
Zhang Sufeng bit her lip and remained silent.
Liu Nian knew this was not her business, so she gently patted Su Feng on the back to reassure her.
"You agree, right?" Wu Hui looked at Wu Qi. "Wu Qi?"
Everyone looked at Wu Qi, who was frowning and remained silent.
That's not what they said before we came," Wu Qi pursed her lips and looked up at Zhang Sufeng.
"No matter what, Su Feng and I will be together."
Hearing that reassured her.
Zhang Sufeng smiled at him and then stood up.
