Chapter 55: The elder brother is like a father
The next day, Qinghe Village was peaceful, as if everything that happened last night was an illusion.
Zhang Huihong's worry that her child's uncle's family would come and cause trouble did not happen.
Don't you want to?
no!
But he was stopped by Zhang Ze's grandparents.
Old Mrs. Zhang stopped her eldest son and his family who were about to cause trouble, and scared them with just one sentence.
"When you want to cause trouble for Huihong's family, think about whether those people I pointed out last night will come to cause trouble for us."
"Mom, why are they bothering us?" Mrs. Zhang's eldest son asked in confusion.
Old Lady Zhang looked at her disappointing eldest son, sighed softly, and said, "Yesterday, in order to suppress the matter of Ah Wen, I specifically pointed out those people who were causing trouble."
"Don't think that nothing has happened in the village now. In a while, those unruly women will be sent back to their parents' homes. Others can't make a living anymore. All this is because of me and Awen. Do you think those people hate us?"
When these words were spoken, Zhang Wen's family looked at each other in surprise, obviously not expecting the consequences to be so serious.
But if we don’t do this, we will not be able to hold our heads up in the village if we are paraded through the streets, and life will be even more difficult.
Now, Zhang Wen and his family no longer have the idea of causing trouble for others. It is already good enough if others do not cause trouble for them.
Now they can only live a low-key life, especially Zhang Wen and Liu Qiaoqiao, who try to go out as little as possible to avoid being ambushed and put in a sack.
Men who were put in sacks would at most be beaten, while women Most of the men in the countryside are illiterate and have little education. When they get excited, they can do anything.
Liu Qiaoqiao stood there blankly, not caring about it at all.
Last night she followed the educated youth to Zhang's house and didn't dare go back to the educated youth site. Because of her, the remaining educated youth in the village were all ashamed to hold their heads up.
Especially the female educated youth, as soon as they go out, they have to face the wolf-like gazes of the villagers.
Even without Mrs. Zhang telling her, she was already very clear about her situation.
She is now just thinking about getting through the days well, and when the time comes to return to the city, she will find an excuse to go back. By then, everything here will have nothing to do with her anymore.
Naturally she hated Zhang Ze. Not only him, but also Zhang Qinghe and even Zhang Wen.
If the man next to her hadn't insisted on dragging her to the grove last night, she would never have been caught.
But she kept all these in her heart and would not reveal them at all.
Liu Qiaoqiao knew very well that her life would not be easy in this family. Returning to the city was her only way out for the rest of her life. Only by returning to the city would she have the opportunity to consider other things.
On the other hand, Zhang Ze rarely went to the beach to collect lobsters early in the morning.
Mainly, he was worried that his uncle's family would come to cause trouble early in the morning. However, after waiting for most of the day, he didn't see any troublemakers. Instead, Zhang Qinghe came over with two old hens.
This guy has a black eye and the corner of his mouth is a little red and swollen. It seems that he was beaten badly last night.
"Qing He, what are you doing?" Seeing him coming directly to his door, Zhang Ze also stood up and opened the small door of the yard.
"Please accept these two old hens." Zhang Qinghe handed over the two old hens directly.
Zhang Ze was completely stunned by his action. He did help a little in the incident last night, allowing the other party to see Liu Qiaoqiao's true character, but it was not necessary to give such a big gift right away.
These are two old hens that can lay eggs.
Including the one at home, there are three in total, so they will definitely have no shortage of eggs to eat in the future.
If you are frugal, you can even save some and exchange it for something at the purchasing station of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"You are so polite, so polite. How can I say that?"
Zhang Ze was polite in his words, but his hands were not slow at all.
He didn't know that Zhang Qinghe was originally planning to ask someone to act as a matchmaker, but since someone was so kind to give the things his family needed, he would rather refuse them.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Qinghe couldn't help but twitch his lips, and suddenly he regretted being so generous.
But the old hen had already been taken away, there was no way he could get it back.
After a moment of silence, he did not intend to hide it, and said: "Yesterday my family just discussed asking a matchmaker to help find Liu Qiaoqiao for marriage, but I didn't expect..."
Zhang Ze suddenly realized. No wonder they sent two old hens. He was originally wondering when the captain became so generous.
"Now that it's over, let's look forward. Liu Qiaoqiao is just pretty, but her status in the city is nothing. She may not have a job when she returns."
"Besides, she can't carry anything, and she has all the arrogance of a city girl. You will suffer if you marry her. You will regret it sooner or later if your family is not at peace."
"Now it's someone else who is suffering. You should be happy."

"She is not as bad as you say." Zhang Qinghe's voice became lower and lower. He really didn't think so at first, but now thinking back, it was really like what Zhang Ze said.
I don't know why I suddenly felt a little relieved after feeling so bad all the time? Seeing him silent, Zhang Ze thought he was feeling bad, so he patted his shoulder and said something to comfort him.
"Okay, go back and have a good rest. When you feel better, ask your mother to ask a matchmaker to find you a girl. She's just a pretty girl, it's not like you can't find one!"
Zhang Qinghe came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't we have a ready-made pretty girl here?"
"Don't even think about it!"
He was just joking originally, but when Zhang Ze heard this, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he immediately stuffed the two old hens back into his arms, making him almost unable to hold them.
Fortunately, the old hen had its legs tied and couldn't break free.
Zhang Qinghe was confused: "No, what's wrong with me? You would rather not give me a chance than deliver the old hen to your door?"
"You can marry whoever you want, but you can't think about my sister. Don't ask a matchmaker to talk to my mom, otherwise we won't even be friends anymore." Zhang Ze's words were not polite at all. It was impossible for him to marry his sister to someone in the village.
There were many people in the village who didn't like Zhang Huihong, and her grandparents were going to the county town in the future. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for her to leave her sister alone in the village? Even if the team leader would become the village chief in the future, he wouldn't be able to buy a house in the county town for the couple to live in in a short period of time. So he would take this attitude whenever anyone in the village cared about his sister.
"Why would I ask a matchmaker to find my aunt? I was just joking, how could I have expected you to react so strongly. Besides, the eldest brother is like a father, how come you don't even agree that Aqian can get married?" Zhang Qinghe smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that his friend would dislike him for just a joke.
He was a little doubtful at this moment. Was he really that bad?
Liu Qiaoqiao would rather let others touch her than let herself touch her, and now even her friends dislike her!
However, when Zhang Ze heard the words "eldest brother is like a father", he was stunned, and then he suddenly realized that the thing he had been worried about did not exist at all.
In his previous life, his power as the eldest brother was not put to good use, which led him to be trapped in misunderstandings.
In this life, his mother is still the one who makes the decisions in public, but he earns the money and doesn't have to worry about things like getting married. Naturally, he has a big say in the marriages of his two younger sisters, and even his mother has to look to his opinion.
Coming back to his senses, he saw the two old hens in Zhang Qinghe's arms, and he naturally picked them up, one in each hand: "Since you are joking, I will accept these two old hens."
"." Zhang Qinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He never thought that his friend had such a side to him.
