Chapter 22 Zhang Ze: Hello, Brother-in-law
"What's wrong? Is that girl not okay?" Zhang Ze saw his expression change drastically and thought there was something secret, so he became curious.
Tong Yuanhang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, Sister Wang is a good girl, that's it."
Zhang Ze was really surprised that she was actually a good girl. He didn't expect that Zhang Cuifen didn't cheat him. Could it be that her mother gave her a lot, or did she want to please him to marry her because of her sister?
It seemed that he had a little misunderstanding about the matchmaker. In that case, there seemed to be no need for him to secretly disrupt her business on Lumen Island.
"Sister Wang is dating the younger brother of a friend of mine, but the Wang family doesn't agree."
Tong Yuanhang didn't explain in detail, but Zhang Ze understood what was going on after listening.
He was somewhat speechless about this.
In this day and age, children still have to get married with the consent of their elders. But if a man marries this princess, when the society becomes more open in the future, who knows whether this princess will get entangled with her first love again, or even what might have happened between them.
Zhang Ze didn't want to make malicious assumptions about others, but his marriage in his previous life made him have no interest in girls with emotional entanglements like this, and he would just stay away from them.
"Is that so? Then I have to talk to Aunt Zhang and I won't go on the blind date with the Wang family."
"This." Tong Yuanhang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, Zhang Ze was from An's side and he was not bad looking. It was very likely that the Wang family would take a fancy to him.
By doing this, it seemed like he had ruined someone else's marriage for no reason.
But he knew how much his friend's brother liked that girl Wang, so he couldn't bring himself to let Zhang Ze continue the blind date.
"Aze, you are good-looking and do things steadily, so you don't have to worry about not being able to find a wife."
"Who said that? I'm in need of a wife right now. You guys have already had sex with Er Gouzi, so why don't you introduce your sister to me?"
"Go to hell, I treated you as a friend, but you're thinking about my sister!"
The two chatted and laughed, and neither of them took the other's words seriously.
But the next moment, a sweet and crisp voice suddenly sounded behind them.
They both turned around at the same time and saw a girl with a fair and lovely face, wearing coarse cloth and two thick long braids on both sides of her shoulders, standing at the ferry and waving at them.
Tong Yuanhang asked in surprise: "Shuyao, why are you here?"
Tong Shuyao came up to them with a smile, first looked at Zhang Ze curiously, and then answered: "My mother gave me some money to buy vanishing cream. It just so happened that my third uncle was coming over, so I followed him here."
Tong Yuanhang understood why she bought the vanishing cream. After all, she was a girl who was about to get married, so she had to dress up a little.
Apply some vanishing cream to make your face and hands whiter.
However, when he thought that this marriage would make his sister lose a bottle of cream, he felt that his sister would be extremely happy.
He knew clearly that his sister didn't like that idiot, but since he didn't know her well, he couldn't say that she hated him.
And since her family agreed, she just followed their arrangements.
However, he would not tell his sister about this, and he had to go back and talk to his family first.
"Then go ahead. I'm busy here so I won't accompany you."
"You don't need to accompany me, I know how to get there." Tong Shuyao waved her hand, smiled politely at Zhang Ze, and then left happily.
I was happy not because I was getting married, but because I could come to the county town to stroll around and buy vanishing cream.
The girl left, and when Tong Yuanhang was about to pick up the crab cage, his hand was suddenly held: "Hello, brother-in-law, Er Gouzi can't, please consider me!"
Tong Yuanhang was stunned. What was going on? How could he call another girl "brother-in-law" just because he saw her?
In all his years of life, he had never seen anyone so shameless.
"Aze, are you serious?"
If it happened in the future, this sentence would probably be regarded as a joke, but at this time there are not so many jokes, and Tong Yuanhang really took it seriously.
Of course, Zhang Ze's joke was half true.
"Of course it's not fake. Your sister is pretty and I really fell in love with her at first sight. Anyway, you guys will definitely not agree with Er Gouzi, so why not consider me?"
Seeing that he didn't look fake, Tong Yuanhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had a pretty good impression of Zhang Ze, and from their contact, he felt that the other party seemed quite rich.
The braided line and fish hook were more than three dollars, and I bought them without blinking an eye. I also asked for a crab cage that he offered a few dollars for.
This behavior was somewhat wasteful, but the two met in the black market, so he felt that Zhang Ze must have the ability to make money.
Otherwise, how could a rural person be willing to spend so much money to buy these things.
Just thinking about this, Tong Yuanhang suddenly felt a little embarrassed. If Zhang Ze really became his brother-in-law, wouldn't he be cheating his own family?
Braided lines and fish hooks don't actually cost that much money, that is, there is no channel to buy them on the market, otherwise how can fishermen afford these things! This also shows that he is not disgusted with Zhang Ze, but after experiencing Er Gouzi's situation, he also wants to find an opportunity to go to his village to learn more.
So he said tactfully: "Aze, since you like my sister, why don't you ask a matchmaker to go to my house in a few days?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
His meaning was very clear. If he wanted to marry my sister, he should let my parents see it and get their consent.
At the same time, he can also take advantage of these few days to go to Zhangze Village to inquire about his and Ergouzi's situation in the village.
Zhang Ze naturally had no problem: "Okay, I'm just ready to do that too."
The home date was settled, and then he talked about the crab cage: "By the way, Ah Hang, have you finished the crab cage?"
"Well, you have to wait for two more days. Unfortunately, I have something to do these two days." Tong Yuanhang thought of the small crab cage, hesitated for a moment, and then found an excuse to delay time.
Originally, Zhang Ze and I were just friends whom we just met once. It’s okay if the things are a bit more expensive, but it’s all for the sake of living, so others are willing to do so.
But now the other party might become his brother-in-law, and because his own sister has also jumped out of the fire pit, he feels embarrassed to use a small crab cage to cheat others.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Compared to Tong Yuanhang, Zhang Ze has lived for several decades longer. Even if he is not a smart person, he can notice something unusual.
But he just pretended that he knew nothing, and the other party would naturally give him a better crab cage after two days.
After saying goodbye to Tong Yuanhang, Zhang Ze thought that since he was in the city, he might as well go from street to street to earn some money for the bride price.
The grouper and lobster in the fishing space are both popular seafood. He picked some weeds on the roadside and weaved them together, then took out the grouper and hung them up first.
Then he carried the two little bluefin breams and walked towards some better buildings nearby.
As soon as he arrived here, he met a middle-aged man who was about to go out. He looked well-dressed.
Zhang Ze took the initiative to walk past him, but did not go up to ask him if he wanted fish.
Asking proactively is a very dangerous thing.
Who knows if he will have bad luck and meet a leader who specializes in catching speculation when he wants to sell fish? His efficiency in selling things this way is low, but it is safe.
Although the resources are good these days, grouper is not that common, otherwise the price would not be so high.
When the middle-aged man saw the two fresh groupers he was carrying, he subconsciously took a few more glances at them.
Even in his factory's small kitchen, this kind of good thing would only occasionally appear on the table.
The main reason is that it is difficult for buyers to receive them, as everyone is scrambling to get these good things.
Seeing the two fresh groupers, the middle-aged man thought of the dinner party in the evening, so he turned around and called Zhang Ze who was about to leave: "Hey, little comrade"
