Chu Yu nodded. People who are reserved and introverted always have their own inner world.
What did your parents say?
“My mom also thinks he’s a good catch. She said that life isn’t just about what’s in front of you. He’s a good catch and has no financial burden, so I’ll have a lot of relief after having a baby. It’s just that he’s an orphan and his family is a bit poor. After I have a baby, there’ll be no one to help me take care of the child.”
This is indeed a problem, but having no father or mother means there will be no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts.
Fang Zhiping's parents left behind some inheritance. If Chen Shuangyu marries him, she can get a Beijing hukou (household registration), and her child can stay in Beijing. With the inheritance left by her in-laws, she can buy several houses in Beijing in a few years, and wait for the old house to be demolished.
What more could she want?
This is the epitome of winning without lifting a finger.
After listening to Chu Yu's analysis, Chen Shuangyu also felt that Fang Zhiping was a good person.
After coming to Beijing, she gained some worldly experience and learned that she couldn't choose an irresponsible man. After all, they were going to start a family together, and a responsible man who could take care of the children would make things easier for his wife.
If she marries Fang Zhiping, her child can stay in Beijing to study and bring his parents to Beijing in the future, which is better than leaving them in Deyang.
With Chu Yu's approval, Chen Shuangyu also came to terms with it and no longer felt inferior because of her stutter. She took Fang Zhiping with her wherever she went.
Fang Zhiping gained her approval and was no longer as insecure as before. Nourished by love, he became more and more spirited, often playing the harmonica or hand drum for Chen Shuangyu. Their relationship grew better and better.
Fang Zhiping is getting old and has not found a partner.
This grown man has been holding back his desire for women for so many years. He's a gentleman and wouldn't do anything lewd. He just wants to marry a girl openly and honestly, have a wife and kids, and live a comfortable life.
They've known each other for less than six months, and they're getting married? Chen Shuangyu thinks it's a bit too fast.
Chu Yu was also taken aback. Why would they have a whirlwind marriage? How trendy!
"Chu Yu, do you think he's a good match? If we're really going to get married, I'd like to take him back to Deyang to meet my parents."
“I think he’s alright, but this isn’t my wedding, so it has to be your own decision.”
Chen Shuangyu nodded. "He's quite emotionally stable and responsible. The wedding house is already ready, so there aren't any obstacles to getting married. His parents passed away early, and he doesn't have many relatives. The wedding will just be a formality; once we get the marriage certificate and go to the bridal chamber, that's it."
These days, thrift is something to be proud of.
Chen Shuangyu herself felt that it was good not to make a big fuss about it. It was less troublesome and worry-free. They could live together after getting their marriage certificate, and there was no mother-in-law to take care of. Just thinking about it made her happy.
"If you get married, I'll grant you seven days of honeymoon leave," Chu Yu said.
Chen Shuangyu was overjoyed. Even state-owned enterprises didn't have such good deals. Chu Yu was really generous. However, business had been good lately, and she received a commission of one or two yuan every day, so she didn't want to take a break.
“His house is very close to Mandarin, so it won’t interfere with my work after I get married.”
However, it's too early to say anything; we'll have to see if Chen Baifu and Ge Lanzhi have taken notice of Fang Zhiping.
Chu Yu granted him a holiday, so Chen Shuangyu simply took Fang Zhiping back to visit his parents. Fang Zhiping was extremely nervous when he arrived at his father-in-law's house. He bought Moutai liquor, malted milk powder, candy and pastries to take with him, and also brought some Beijing specialties for Chen Shuangyu's parents, filling an entire box.
Chen Shuangyu felt he was being too formal, but the fact that her boyfriend brought so many things when meeting her parents showed that he respected them. Chen Shuangyu felt that she had made the right choice in dating him.
Fang Zhiping is a technician in the factory. He was recently promoted to a junior cadre position. Although he is a junior cadre and his position is not high, he has a promising future.
He was a college graduate, humble, and cultured. Ge Lanzhi and Chen Baifu were worldly people and were very satisfied with him.
Chu Yu is right. Stuttering isn't a big deal for men. Why should Fang Zhiping's stuttering be any different? He has a house in Beijing and is an orphan. Chen Shuangyu will inevitably have a hard time after having a child, but she won't have her in-laws pointing fingers at her. This is practically a paradise on earth.
Even at her age, Ge Lanzhi is still frequently scolded by her rural mother-in-law who comes to her door.
She would rather her mother-in-law died early, so she wouldn't have any troubles.
Ge Lanzhi and Chen Baifu were both satisfied, and Fang Zhiping finally breathed a sigh of relief. The young couple acted quickly, and after returning to Beijing, they set a date to get their marriage certificate and sent invitations to Chu Yu and the others, inviting them to a casual meal.
Chu Yu was going to the port city and wouldn't be able to make it to their wedding, so he gave Chen Shuangyu fifty yuan and a red dress as a gift for her as a wife, which was quite a good treatment.
Fang Fang was extremely envious. "The boss is so good to Shuangyu. Will we get this kind of treatment when we get married?"
Chu Yu laughed. She wasn't stingy. "From now on, when you get married, follow this standard. I'll cover the seven-day wedding leave, the red envelopes, and the clothes."
The employees were overjoyed. What good deeds they must have done in their past lives to have such a generous boss.
