If that man could really disguise himself, she might actually agree to be with him. Zhong Zheng imagined that scene, and her mouth twitched with disgust.
Fortunately, the man was not good at disguising himself. Zhong Zheng felt relieved, but at the same time, she started to have a headache again when she thought of her father and mother at home.
In this era where having many children is a blessing, her family only gave birth to her. It was not because they didn't want to have another child, but because her mother was injured when giving birth to her, so she never got pregnant again.
The relationship between the parents is very good. The father never blamed the mother for this reason. Instead, her mother was depressed because she felt that she could not give birth to a son and made her father lose face.
In this family, Zhong Zheng was not looked down upon just because she was a girl. Her mother did not blame her for not being able to have children. Instead, she loved her very much. Although her father was taciturn, he never treated her badly.
It was for these reasons that Zhong Zheng was eager to find a live-in son-in-law and have a child with her surname. That way, there would be fewer people laughing at her family!
However, this is easier said than done. Most of the men who want to be a son-in-law are ugly. Although Zhong Zheng urgently needs a child with her surname, she will not just find a man casually. She still pays attention to appearance, so that the children born in the future will be better looking.
Zhong Zheng was thinking a little too far, so she quickly retracted her thoughts. Thinking about what happened today, she sighed in her heart again. Why is it so difficult to find a man!
Lin Xuanjiao looked at Zhong Zheng, who was lost in her own emotions, and finally spoke: "Sister, I think your wish will come true. Don't think too much, it will make you old easily!"
Zhong Zheng was brought back to her senses by this, and looked at Lin Xuanjiao with a bit of amusement: "You don't even know what's bothering me, so how do you know that everything I want will come true?"
Lin Xuanjiao chuckled and moved closer to Zhong Zheng: "Because I'm a good person! Good people will always be rewarded."
Will good people always be rewarded? Zhong Zheng asked this question in her heart. Her parents were obviously good people, so why did they treat her family like this?
Perhaps because she had too many worries in her heart, Zhong Zheng spoke out what was in her heart directly. After speaking out, Zhong Zheng felt very annoyed. Why did she speak out what was in her heart? The female comrade in front of her was not that familiar to her.
Lin Xuanjiao blinked and looked at Ji Songqing, who was still cleaning up. Very good! I can still comfort this young lady for a while. She is such a kind person and can't bear to see good people secretly sad.
"Your parents are already very lucky to have you!"
Hearing Lin Xuanjiao's reply, Zhong Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and slowly asked, "Am I okay?"
From childhood to adulthood, it seemed that no one had ever praised her like this. She never took her parents' praise seriously, because in her parents' eyes, no matter what she did, she was the best.
Lin Xuanjiao nodded seriously, "Yes! Look at your eyes, they're so big, your skin is so white, and your face is flawless. You are a rare beauty, aren't you?"
Zhong Zheng's face flushed at Lin Xuanjiao's words. Being praised so directly by someone was really a bit overwhelming! Especially since the person praising her was such a beauty.
Zhong Zheng's face was already red beyond recognition. Seeing that Lin Xuanjiao was about to continue, Zhong Zheng quickly spoke up to stop her, "Alright, alright, thank you for the compliment."
The voice was very quiet, in stark contrast to the cursing he had just done.
Lin Xuanjiao smiled, "Sister, I'm not wrong! You're just very pretty and have a respectable job. You shouldn't be so anxious."
Zhong Zheng thought about her family's situation and, not knowing what was going on, she spoke to the woman she had just met: "You don't know my family's situation. I'm the only daughter in my family. My parents have been openly ridiculed many times because of this."
It seems that the preference for boys over girls is still very serious in this era. Lin Xuanjiao could have anticipated this kind of thing. After all, there was still a preference for boys over girls in her place, let alone now.
In fact, Lin Xuanjiao didn’t know how to deal with this kind of thing. After all, she was not from this generation, and she couldn’t think of a way to solve this deep-rooted concept.
If she told Zhong Zheng not to worry about these things and just live a good life, and that she didn't have to have children and that it was fine to live alone, then I'm afraid Zhong Zheng would have turned against her.
After all, in this era, those who are still unmarried at the age of 20 will be laughed at and called old maids. Her words would not only fail to comfort Zhong Zheng, but would make her angry instead.
So Lin Xuanjiao began to search for a suitable method in her mind. This search naturally came from her many years of experience in reading novels. She didn't know if it would work, but as long as she could say it out loud, it was better than nothing.
Aren't period novels full of pitiful male protagonists and supporting characters? These guys are good-looking and well-behaved, but they're just not liked by their families. This situation should quite fit Zhong Zheng's idea of a live-in son-in-law, but I wonder if there are such people in this world full of super-talented people.
So, Lin Xuanjiao looked at the worried Zhong Zheng and said, "Sister, you don't have to look for someone in the city! Someone in the countryside will do, too!"
"From the countryside?"
Zhong Zheng was a little confused by this. It was not that she had any prejudice against rural people. After all, her father was also from a peasant family and only transferred his household registration to the town after he became a worker.
Just because she had been dealing with her father's relatives more often, Zhong Zheng didn't want to go back to the countryside. She was just annoyed by those people. They obviously had no abilities, but they acted superior in front of her parents and herself just because they gave birth to a boy. Zhong Zheng was so disgusted by their behavior that she hadn't been back to the countryside for three years.
As long as gifts were sent to her grandmother's house during the holidays, it didn't matter whether her granddaughter went or not. After all, her grandmother never liked her and thought she was a burden to her father. She had never smiled at her since she was a child.
Seeing that Zhong Zheng was somewhat resistant, Lin Xuanjiao did not force her to persuade her. She had already reminded her that as for whether this young lady would look for a man from the countryside in the future, it was up to her. This kind of thing was her own wish and no one else could interfere.
Lin Xuanjiao didn't want to interfere too much. If she interfered too much, what if she really found a man according to your wishes and her married life was not happy? This situation made Lin Xuanjiao feel overwhelmed. She was just a little bored, so she found this young lady who had been kind to her to chat, let her relax, and give her some advice.
