As soon as Director Jiang got off work, Jiang Shuyao went up to him and took his arm.
"Dad, I have a crush on my eldest brother's classmate. Please help me go to the Xiao family to propose marriage."
Director Jiang said, "How can a girl go to a man's house to propose marriage?"
Zhou Sulan advised: "Your brother has already said that she has someone she likes and they are already discussing marriage."
Jiang Shuyao was unwilling to accept this: "My father is the factory director, the Xiao family will definitely give my father face."
Director Jiang asked which Xiao family it was, and his face turned cold when he heard his wife's words.
The son stole Song Zhiting’s fiancée in his first marriage, and now the daughter wants to snatch the Song family’s son-in-law.
At the beginning, Zheng Baozhu married in place of him, and the young couple had a good relationship, so the Song family didn't care. If their daughter got involved, the Song family would be deeply offended.
Director Jiang didn't want to joke about his future, so he said, "The son of our factory secretary Huang is one year older than you and is also of marriageable age. I will arrange for you to meet each other."
Jiang Shuyao refused: "He is dark and ugly, I don't want to go on a blind date with him."
Zhou Sulan said: "She just has a slightly darker skin color and a decent appearance. How can she be ugly? She may not even like you, but you still look down on her."
"He doesn't like me, and I don't want to marry him, so I fell in love with Xiao Yiming."
Director Jiang saw his daughter's willful behavior, shook his head, and made a plan in mind.
…
The next day, Jiang Shuyao came back during working hours.
Zhou Sulan asked her, "Why are you back?"
Jiang Shuyao said angrily: "I can't attend this class anymore!"
After asking, I found out that Jiang Shuyao's leader had arranged for her to go on a business trip out of town for one month.
Zhou Sulan said: "It's good to be on a business trip. It means that the leader values you and gives you such an important job. You can also see more of the world."
"How can I go on a business trip at this time? When I come back, Xiao Yiming might be married."
When Director Jiang came back and heard about this, he said calmly, "Just do the tasks assigned by the leader. If you don't want to be fired, just obey the arrangements."
Jiang Shuyao picked up a newspaper and threw it on the ground: "I quit. What a crappy job!"
Director Jiang said, "You don't have to work anymore. Pack your bags and go to the countryside tomorrow to take care of your great-aunt."
"I'm not going!"
Director Jiang's face turned cold, and he didn't waste any words with her: "If you don't want to, just move out. No one can control you outside."
This means being kicked out of the house.
Jiang Shuyao panicked and asked her mother for help.
Zhou Sulan got a hint from her husband and took her daughter to visit Zheng Baoyi in prison.
Looking at Zheng Baoyi, whose eyes were hollow and face was haggard, Jiang Shuyao's heart trembled.
After coming out, Zhou Sulan said earnestly: "Your father was able to become the factory director thanks to Mr. Zheng's recommendation.
Now that your eldest brother has divorced and remarried, we no longer have this in-law relationship. If anything happens, Mr. Zheng will not help our family.
Your father can still hold the position of factory director because the Zheng and Song families don't care about it. If they really did, he would have stepped down long ago.
You and Xiao Yiming have only met a few times in total, and you don't have any feelings for him. I know that when you were in school, you liked to compete with Song Zhimei, and you just couldn't stand the fact that Song Zhimei married well.
In fact, no matter who you marry, you live your own life. Your brother is considered to be a good man, but after Baoyi married him, his life was still a mess.
Baozhu married into the Song family and they are still living a prosperous life. They now run factories and shops and are doing better than your father.
Don't be as extreme as Baoyi, unless you also want to go to jail."
With the previous experience of Zheng Baoyi as a lesson, Jiang Shuyao listened to her mother's words.
I obediently returned to the unit and accepted the business trip assignment.
…
The Xiao family and the Song family met at the hotel.
The people from the Song family who accompanied Song Zhimei were Old Man Song, Wu Hongxia and Zheng Baozhu, while everyone else had to work.
The Xiao family came with their parents. Before the two sides met, they also learned about each other's family background. The meeting was very pleasant and they had a good conversation.
Now that they had reached the stage of meeting their parents, the young couple's relationship had stabilized, so Xiao's mother discussed the engagement date with Wu Hongxia.
When Jiang Shuyao came back from her business trip, she had already heard the news that Xiao Yiming and Song Zhimei were engaged.
After sitting in the room for two hours, Jiang Shuyao took the initiative to ask her father to help her make an appointment with Secretary Huang's son.
…
Zheng Baozhu is three months pregnant now. Song Zhiting has consulted a doctor and is told that as long as they are careful, they can still have sex.
I was feeling so happy, when suddenly I received a notice to go on a mission.
When Song Zhiting told Zheng Baozhu the news, Zheng Baozhu was very calm.
Song Zhiting felt uncomfortable: "I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back."
Zheng Baozhu said: "It's okay, I can take care of myself at home, you just focus on your work."
"When other wives are pregnant, they all want their husbands to be by their side. I can't be with you all the time. Aren't you sad?"
"What's there to be sad about? Ever since I married you, I knew you would be on missions frequently. Besides, that's a husband's duty, not yours."
Song Zhiting's face turned dark.
A heartless little thing.
He held Zheng Baozhu's face with both hands and bit her delicate lips.
Zheng Baozhu felt pain and punched him: "Are you a dog?"
Song Zhiting suddenly understood why Zheng Baozhu didn't want their marriage.
His job means he cannot always be with his wife and children, so as his wife, the pressure must be enormous.
When he was on Dongxian Island, he saw the military wives working hard to do housework and take care of the children. It was very hard for them to take on all the tasks by themselves.
