Seeing Qian Lei go in, the landlady nudged the older woman with her hand and said, "How is it? Am I right?"
The woman said nothing but turned to look at the young woman standing behind her.
"Yu'er, what do you think?"
The fat girl named Yu'er looked shy and said, "I don't know, Mom, you have the final say."
The landlady winked at the woman and said, "Oh, our Yu'er has taken a fancy to her."
The woman sighed. "The young man seems calm, tall, good-looking, and filial. It's just that his father is a heavy burden."
The landlady looked at Yu'er, who was so fat that her eyes were squinting. "Hey, I think Qian Lei is several times better than Yu'er's previous boyfriend."
When Yu'er heard this, she quickly grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mom, I want this.
He's a college student, and he's handsome, much better than my ex-boyfriend."
The woman patted her daughter's hand and said, "Mom is worried that if you let him marry into your family, his father, a paraplegic, will definitely come along.
When the time comes, you will have to serve your father-in-law and take care of his excrement and urine. Are you willing?"
Yu'er was stunned when she heard this. "Mom, does that mean that if I marry him, I have to take over his job?"
The woman nodded and said, "Since he is a filial son, he will definitely not abandon his father.
You said that our family is looking for a live-in son-in-law, and we have to bring a paralytic along.
This is not a good deal.”
Yu'er frowned when she heard this. She was unwilling to serve a paralytic, who was also her own father-in-law, just thinking about it.
The landlady chuckled and said, "Your mother is indeed a businesswoman, she has a very flexible mind.
Unlike me, I only care about character and don’t consider so many things.
Forget it, forget it. I will find you a suitable match from now on."
Qian Lei, who was standing at the door, returned with a piece of washed clothes. Just when he was about to go out to dry the clothes again, he heard the landlady and several women talking about him.
He hid behind the door and listened for a while, and suddenly felt that they were right.
If he did as they said and married a wife and asked her to help take care of his father, his life wouldn't be so hard.
Yes! Why have I never thought about this before?
Qian Lei was very excited. He felt that he had found a solution to the problem.
Marry a wife and let her share your work, so you can study hard, find a good job, and make a name for yourself.
He ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror on the wall. "Oh my god! I have white hair!"
Qian Lei began to pull out his white hair one by one in front of the mirror, "Hey, when did these forehead wrinkles appear?
How did I become so old? "
Qian Lei washed his face with a basin of cold water, tidied his hair, and then went out with his clothes.
He wanted to see what the girl that the landlady brought to peek at him looked like.
When Qian Lei was hanging clothes on the rope, he keenly caught a gaze. Looking in that direction, Qian Lei was so scared that he quickly turned his head away.
Oh my God, is that dark and fat woman the Yu'er that the landlord just called?
This was too scary. Qian Lei felt his heart pounding.
He overturned his previous idea, which was wrong. With his current conditions, he was afraid that he would not be able to find a good girl.
Maybe they all look like this fat black guy.
Oh, forget it, let’s not try to take shortcuts.
After the clothes were hung out to dry, Qian Lei's mood calmed down. He smiled at the landlady and went back to the house.
Yu'er's eyes lit up. Qian Lei looked really good when he smiled, a hundred times better looking than her ex-boyfriend.
On Zhou Lanzhi's 70th birthday, He Jun wanted to hold a birthday party for her and chose his hometown as the venue.
Li Qiumei was invited back to participate.
When she rang the doorbell, the person who opened the door was Zhou Mingli. Li Qiumei was stunned.
"Qiumei, come in quickly!" Zhou Lanzhi called her at the door of the living room while leaning on a cane.
When they entered the living room, the nanny, Aunt Fang, was also there. She politely served tea to Li Qiumei.
Zhou Mingli closed the door and came in. She pointed at the gifts Li Qiumei had brought and said to Aunt Fang, "Take these boxes to the storage room."
Zhou Lanzhi stopped him and said, "Xiao Fang, please take the gift to my room."
Aunt Fang obediently carried the gift upstairs.
Li Qiumei saw that He Yuanzhou was not there, "Hey, Yuanzhou hasn't come back yet?"
Zhou Lanzhi told her, "He's back. He and his father went to the restaurant to prepare a banquet."
Turning around, she saw Zhou Mingli reclining on the sofa. Zhou Lanzhi frowned and pointed to a bag of candy on the ground. "Mingli, take these candies to the restaurant."
Zhou Mingli sat up straight and said, "Aunt, let the nanny go."
"No, the nanny wants to greet me, you'd better go quickly!" Zhou Lanzhi urged her.
Zhou Mingli didn't want to go. "Aunt, this nanny is there to be ordered around. Why are you reluctant to order her around and want to order me around?"
Zhou Lanzhi was so angry that she couldn't breathe. "Okay, okay! You stay home and look after the house, and we'll go and deliver it."
Zhou Lanzhi stood up and said, "Qiumei, let's go to the hotel now."
Zhou Mingli stood up reluctantly and said, "Is it not okay for me to go?"
She left with the candy, and Aunt Fang came over and helped the old lady sit down.
Zhou Lanzhi heard the sound of the door slamming shut and was so angry that she kept banging her cane.
"This shameless person, she didn't invite her, yet she showed up empty-handed and even started bossing us around. It's really annoying."
Li Qiumei quickly changed the subject, "Are there many guests today?"
Zhou Lanzhi then laughed, "Everyone in the entire Beimen Street has been invited. He Jun was frightened by the dream he had, so he insisted on treating these neighbors to a meal.
He has already told everyone that he will not accept any gifts at this birthday party.
He originally wanted to give each family some gifts, but I was worried that the tree would attract attention, so I didn't agree."
Li Qiumei felt that the older you get, the wiser it is. It is indeed not easy for Zhou Lanzhi to accurately grasp people's hearts.
Zhou Mingli came to the restaurant, gave the candy to He Yuanzhou, and then walked around.
When she saw He Jun busy at work, her eyes lit up.
She walked quickly to He Jun and said, "Brother Jun, is there anything I can help you with?"
He Jun glanced at her and said, "Why is Zhou Mingli like a dog-skin plaster? Isn't she always sticking to the old lady at home?
Why are you here causing trouble again?"
"It's okay! Just find a table and sit down."
He Jun was only thinking about the banquet and didn't pay much attention to her.
Zhou Mingli felt embarrassed and ran to sit aside in a bad mood.
When Li Qiumei and Zhou Lanzhi arrived at the restaurant, they found that the guests had already arrived one after another.
Zhou Lanzhi kept greeting the neighbors, and Li Qiumei was taken to the main table.
He Jun and his son warmly welcomed every guest at the door, and the scene was very lively.
At this time, several uninvited guests appeared.
