Chapter 690 Zhang Dongfei's Partner
When He Yuxiang brought a plate of steaming hot zucchini and scrambled eggs into the main hall, he wiped the table as he did so, thus delaying his return to the kitchen.
Xiao Yu hummed a little tune, swaying her head as she entered the living room. She sat on the long bench and excitedly shared, "Brother, I just overheard something."
"What is it?"
He Yuxiang asked absentmindedly.
Xiaoyu lowered her voice and said, "Brother Dongfei is dating a divorced woman in the village and they're getting ready to get married. Her parents are crying to Aunt Dongmei."
He Yuxiang looked up, "Then why are you so happy?"
"Because I've met Dongfei's girlfriend, and she seems like a really nice person."
Xiaoyu is young and has very pure thoughts.
She didn't think that a woman who had been divorced twice was unworthy of Zhang Dongfei.
The couples she interacted with most were her aunt and uncle, which led her to believe that marriage was wonderful, even though she knew there were many couples having conflicts outside. She was happy for the people she knew who were getting married.
He Yuxiang: "Oh."
He doesn't pay much attention to other people's romantic relationships unless they can bring him benefits.
For example, Wan Anlang.
Uncle Anlang needed to please his father-in-law, so he bought him a watch.
Such feelings are beautiful.
Xiaoyu found gossiping with her brother boring, so when it was time to eat, she told her aunt about it.
Chen Qing was surprised.
Xiaoyu is satisfied!
Sharing gossip is all about seeing the other person's reaction.
Look at my brother.
Let's take another look at my uncle.
The two people had blank expressions, and they looked incredibly boring!
Chen Qing: "Then let's eat quickly and go see the excitement."
“Okay!”
Xiao Yu buried her head and quickly ate her rice.
He Yuan and He Yuxiang looked at the two of them with excitement and confusion in their eyes.
After dinner, Chen Qing took Xiao Yu's hand and went to Old Lady Qin's house.
Old Mrs. Qin sat at her doorstep with a palm-leaf fan in hand, talking animatedly, her rough, sallow skin glowing with excitement: "You know what? My youngest daughter-in-law's brother has a decent job, but he's never dated before. He married a woman who's more than ten years older than him, divorced twice, and has children. His father is frantic, and his mother is practically crying herself blind, begging my youngest daughter-in-law to find her brother a suitable partner, not some country bumpkin."
"The difference is so big, what does your daughter-in-law's brother want?"
"She must be incredibly beautiful to have captivated such a young man."
"Hehehe, maybe it's because of good technique."
...
This remark from the crowd drew laughter from many people.
Chen Qing covered Xiao Yu's ears.
Xiao Yu wrinkled her nose.
snort!
These people insulted Dongfei's boyfriend without even knowing her. That's going too far!
Old Mrs. Qin had sharp eyes. She caught the person who was making lewd remarks and spat at him: "Get lost! Whether his technique is good or not is none of your business. Anyway, I think your little finger is no match for a young man's."
The man, his face flushed red from her mockery, cried out, "You shrew!"
Old Mrs. Qin put her hands on her hips and cursed, "So what if you're a shrew? Even a shrew wouldn't want your little finger."
The crowd looked at the man with mocking eyes. He was so angry that his face turned ashen. He cursed "shameless" again and couldn't stand it any longer, so he left in a sorry state.
Old Mrs. Qin chuckled.
Fight her!
joke!
She's a notorious shrew!
He actually dared to tell dirty jokes in front of her. Did he really think she was a little girl who was shy about things between men and women?
Old Mrs. Qin sat down and continued talking. She really enjoyed the scene of having gossip to share at home. The feeling of being the center of attention was very enjoyable!
Look.
Even Chen Qing came.
She must be incredibly charming!
She's the most amazing old lady on the whole street!!
"No matter what, my in-laws don't want this woman to come into the family. They're afraid that the more the young people try to stop them from being together, the more they'll insist on being together. That's how young people are. My in-laws are even thinking of finding a blind date for their son, but I doubt it! He's liked this woman for several years, how can he forget her so easily? I reckon this relationship might really work out."
Someone then asked about the woman's appearance.
Old Mrs. Qin said, "They are certainly good-looking, but they are also old, and the two don't look like a good match."
She sighed.
I don't understand why young people these days choose their partners this way.
Although she disliked Zhang Dongfei, she never expected that the boy would fall for a woman who had been divorced twice.
While we were chatting, the main character, Zhang Dongfei, arrived.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he asked awkwardly, "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyu said, "Grandma Qin is gossiping about you, and we're listening."
Everyone: "..."
This child.
Why are you so honest?
Zhang Dongfei's face darkened, and he glared at Old Lady Qin with even more irritation: "Why did you bring up my business!"
"I was just chatting!" Old Mrs. Qin immediately put her hands on her hips. "What's wrong? Are you ashamed? Are you ashamed that your parents have come all this way to worry about you? It's really funny. You're about to marry him, and I can't even say a word. Besides, I, this old woman, didn't say anything bad about your boyfriend. Don't give me that attitude!"
Zhang Dongfei was too lazy to chat with this unreasonable old lady; he just wanted to find his sister. "Where's my sister?"
"You took your parents to a state-run restaurant for dinner. Tsk tsk, you only have two meat ration coupons at home, and you always manage to squander them on them!"
Old Mrs. Qin grumbled and cursed.
Zhang Dongfei stopped arguing and ran towards the state-run restaurant.
The excitement has ended.
Chen Qing led Xiao Yu home, feeling that the two of them were quite remarkable.
Fifty years from now, it will be difficult for parents to accept a daughter-in-law who has been divorced twice, is more than ten years older than them, and has raised children. Now it is even more difficult.
I don't know how things will end.
Chen Qing felt that Xiao Yu had a good impression of Zhang Dongfei's boyfriend, so he hoped that this woman would not get hurt.
It takes immense courage to trust men again and again and to go through with marriage.
After returning home, Chen Qing was still feeling emotional for a while, but unexpectedly, Zhang Dongfei came to her house that very evening.
"Comrade Chen, I..."
As soon as Zhang Dongfei opened his mouth, he was startled by the uncontrollable tremor in his voice and quickly cleared his throat.
Before coming to Chen Qing's house, he had rehearsed his words countless times in his mind. Now, they were like a tangled mess stuck in his throat. Under Chen Qing's gaze, he felt his cheeks burning.
"Is there anything I can help you with? Please have a seat." Chen Qing asked him to sit down first.
Zhang Dongfei stammered as he made his request, "I'm getting married, but I'm not eligible to send my child to school right now. Could you... could you... could you do me a favor and get my child into your clothing company's affiliated school?"
After saying that, Zhang Dongfei felt a wave of shame wash over him, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Qing at all.
