Although they were relatives, after the elder passed away, the two families didn't live together, so they gradually drifted apart. They would only notify each other when there was something special, like a wedding or funeral. Otherwise, they rarely visited.
It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Although the two families are not far apart in blood, the distance between them makes the relationship inexplicably distant.
Su's mother didn't think of explaining it to her in detail. After all, they were far away from each other. "He was a young man she met in the countryside. He was a very nice person."
"He met me in the countryside?" Mrs. Su was puzzled. "Is he an educated youth?"
"No, they are from the production team." Su's mother replied simply and wanted to go to work.
But Mrs. Su stopped him: "Hey, how can you let Xiaoying marry a country bumpkin? Then Xiaoying will go to the countryside with you."
"Yes!" Su's mother now felt that there was no problem. Zhang Hewu was a good boy and very responsible. She was relieved to leave Su Ying to him.
Mrs. Su's eyes widened. "No way, Third Sister-in-law, will you ever see Xiaoying again after this? People who go to the countryside are so poor, and they do farm work all day long, facing the loess and back to the sky. It's very hard, don't you know? After Xiaoying goes there, can you bear to do farm work every day?"
Su's mother wasn't worried at all: "It's okay, she has a job and doesn't have to do farm work."
Mrs. Su definitely didn't believe this. She thought Mother Su was just trying to comfort her: "They're lying to you, right? How can you go to the countryside without doing farm work? How can you eat if you don't work? Sister-in-law, that little girl is just like that. She's a messed up girl. When she encounters sweet talk, she gets confused and loses her mind. You have to help keep an eye on her. How can you let her continue to be confused!"
Mother Su was really unhappy when she heard this. It was a happy occasion today and she didn't want to be the bad guy, but she was really upset when she belittled her daughter and Wu Zi like this!
Her expression turned cold and she said, "Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. My two children are very good. As long as they have good character, that's all. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We can't control so much!"
She had been a bit worried before, but after spending so many days with him, she had a pretty good understanding of Zhang Hewu's character. He was honest and wouldn't lie. He was also capable, working very efficiently and effectively, even better than she could.
If you have this ability, why would you still want to lie?
Besides, Brother Su had just returned from Lugou Village and was very familiar with the local situation there. The factory was truly a good one, so there was no need to worry. Speaking of Su Ying, everyone knew she was the factory's financial director. How could this be false?
Mrs. Su felt that her sister-in-law was really ungrateful. She talked to her nicely, but she didn't appreciate it!
She didn't say anything more about that, and just said, "Sister-in-law, what kind of betrothal gift did the man from the countryside give Xiaoying? If he can't come in three turns and one ring, can he give him a watch?"
This blatant irony really angered Mrs. Su, but when she thought about the expensive betrothal gift Zhang Hewu had given her, she didn't need to be angry. Today was her daughter's auspicious day, so she tried not to be angry. As the old saying goes, don't be disgruntled when a happy event comes, lest it bring disaster to the happy event.
She said calmly, "The betrothal gifts are Xiaoying's business, so you don't have to worry about it. Sister-in-law, I still have a lot of things to do. If you don't have anything to do, go sit over there and chat with everyone. I'm going to be busy now!"
Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, Mrs. Su knew that there was definitely no betrothal gift.
What kind of betrothal gift could a country person give? Maybe just a few winter melons!
