He Kun was kicked by Ji Xiaodi all night long, and his eyes were dark circles when he woke up in the morning.
Who would have thought that when he woke up, he saw Ji Nanfeng washing clothes, and women's clothes at that.
Is marriage so scary?
He Kun squatted next to Ji Nanfeng and brushed his teeth. "If my grandfather saw you like this, he would probably beat his chest so hard that it would burst."
Ji Nanfeng ignored him and just hung up the clothes when he saw a female educated youth wandering at the door.
After Ji Nanfeng let someone in, he let her go find Ruan Tang by herself.
Ruan Tang saw that Meng Qiongying's eyes were red, so she hurriedly took her into the house.
Just as He Kun was about to catch up, Ji Nanfeng kicked him in the butt. "If you're eavesdropping in my house, get out!"
He Kun patted his butt in frustration and said, "I just thought that female educated youth looked familiar, so I took a few more glances at her."
Meng Qiongying came to ask Ruan Tang to help her find out which family was the poorest and had the best financial situation.
"My uncle went to England a long time ago. He was found out through a letter he exchanged with my mother. My eldest uncle called my father-in-law this morning and told me to find a mature and suitable wife as soon as possible..."
Meng Qiongying's situation was much more serious than that of the Ruan family. Ruan Tang did not dare to delay and hurried to find Grandma Ji.
Grandma Ji is an old lady in the village. She has watched all the young men in the village grow up.
But after searching everywhere, Grandma Ji couldn't find a suitable one. This kind of jacket, which was so poor that she couldn't even afford a pair of pants, became more and more popular the better the jacket.
"There are only a few unmarried men over the age of ten. Li Guaizi, who lives at the end of the village, is having an affair with the widow Niu across the street. There's also a relative of Secretary Hu's. He's eighteen years old. His wife gave birth to three daughters and died after the fourth. He's been trying to find a virgin to give birth to a son."
When Grandma Ji finished speaking, Meng Qiongying's face turned pale.
"Don't worry, kid. I'll go ask around in other brigades. Hongyang County is so big, it shouldn't be difficult to find a man."
He Kun listened and sympathized with Meng Qiongying's situation, so he chimed in. "Actually, you could consider retiring from the army. They wouldn't be bothered by the mess outside."
Ruan Tang slapped her thigh and said, "I think of someone."
Yu Chengmao!
Ji Nanfeng shook his head, "Yu Chengmao is not suitable."
As for why it didn't work, Ji Nanfeng refused to say, and in the end it was Grandma Ji who told him what she had heard.
"Yu Chengmao's parents were partial. Because their eldest son was frail and sickly, they used all the allowance Yu Chengmao sent back to buy him some furniture. When his daughter-in-law gave birth, his mother delivered the baby herself.
Unfortunately, his mother had never delivered a baby before, and seeing the basins of blood was terrifying. Later, when they realized it was a difficult labor, they had no money to send the baby to the hospital, and both the mother and child were gone. Yu Chengmao was also discharged from the army because of this incident.
Later, the eldest son went to work in the city. His parents wanted to follow him to enjoy the good life there, but were driven out by their daughter-in-law. Now she lives in the countryside, and from time to time she tries to take advantage of Yu Chengmao. No one from the nearby brigade dares to marry into her family.
Meng Qiongying's eyes lit up, "Where is he? Is he okay?"
Ruan Tang originally only knew that Yu Chengmao's wife died of complications during childbirth, but she hadn't expected this to happen. "Even if she's fine, this is a big problem for his family."
Meng Qiongying pulled Ruan Tangye and muttered, "No girl will be willing to marry him anytime soon. He might as well have a fake marriage with me. I can pay him. As for his family, I'm not his real wife, so what do I have to worry about?"
What could Ruan Tang say? She silently gave him a thumbs-up. This was indeed a good idea. She could get through this one and then slowly pick out a good one.
"I want to see him today, is that okay?"
Ji Nanfeng didn't know what Meng Qiongying was planning. He knew that Yu Chengmao had been blaming him for his wife's death, and that he had been living a miserable life these days, with meals skipped. If Meng Qiongying was really willing, he would be willing to help.
"We are going to Honghui Palace today. You can get ready and come with us."
Ruan Tang's eyes suddenly lit up. How could he not know that they were going to Honghui Palace today? Could it be that they were going to visit her family?
Ji Nanfeng really couldn't stand Ruan Tang's fiery gaze. There were so many people watching, and she didn't even know how to be discreet.
Helplessly, Ji Nanfeng nodded towards Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang jumped up with joy and gave Ji Nanfeng a big hug. "Ji Nanfeng, you are so kind!"
Meng Qiongying looked at Ruan Tang like this and laughed out loud.
At the beginning, Ruan Tang married Ji Nanfeng in a hurry. Looking at the interaction between the two, it seems to be pretty good.
Meng Qiongying began to look forward to meeting Yu Chengmao in a while. She went back to the educated youth point to change her clothes, and the group agreed to meet at the village entrance.
With one more Meng Qiongying, one more He Kun and one more Ji Xiaodi, it’s no big deal.
When the group arrived at Honghui's house, they saw Yu Li crying about how difficult it was to be a mother. She was worried that Yu Chengmao would become a bachelor if he delayed any longer, so she specially arranged a marriage for him with a virgin. The virgin only asked for a betrothal gift of 300 yuan, and she was willing to contribute 100 yuan. But Yu Chengmao was unwilling to contribute 200 yuan.
When they arrived at Yu Chengmao's thatched cottage at the end of the village, they saw He Tiantian, the virgin girl that Yu Qi mentioned.
This little girl, it’s really not easy for any family to raise a girl this big, her eyes are so fat that they are narrowed into a line.
"My father is Director He of the machinery factory. As long as you marry me, I can ask my father to find you a temporary job."
"The current price of betrothal gifts in our machinery factory is three hundred, but don't worry, my family is not short of money, and I will bring the betrothal gifts back."
Meng Qiongying bent down and entered the thatched hut, and saw a tall man with a shaved head. Although the tough officer looked a little depressed, he still showed some military spirit.
Meng Qiongying nodded at Ruan Tang, indicating that she liked him.
The virgin He Tiantian looked at the men and women who suddenly came in. She was dazzled for a moment and didn't know which one to choose.
"Are you here for me too? If you can afford the three hundred yuan betrothal gift, I can give you a chance to show yourself."
As He Tiantian spoke, she set her sights on Ji Nanfeng, "How about you come first?"
Ruan Tang pulled Ji Nanfeng behind her and warned him to be more cautious with her eyes. "Where did this female bandit come from, trying to rob a married man?"
"The daughter of the director of the machinery factory." Meng Qiongying answered quietly.
He Tiantian was so scared that her face was shaking. "I'm not trying to force a married man. I'm here for a blind date with Yu Chengmao. His mother knows everything."
Ruan Tang rolled up his sleeves, grabbed He Tiantian's arm and shook it, removing one arm.
He Tiantian saw that her arm was broken and cried loudly in pain.
Ruan Tang sneered, "Why don't you go and ask around? Is it so easy to poach my girlfriend? If you don't want both of your arms to be crippled, get out of here."
He Tiantian ran away crying, raising her arms.
The others followed him out of the thatched hut.
Yu Chengmao also wanted to follow him out, but was stopped by Meng Qiongying.
This was the first time Yu Chengmao looked Meng Qiongying in the eye. This girl was probably only 1.6 meters tall, but she had the aura of 1.8 meters, radiating confidence and a commanding demeanor.
"Are you okay?"
