The family's hopes rested on the fifth child, Gu Changqing, and the sixth child, Gu Xiaoli. This pair of siblings worked hard, consistently achieving first place in exams. The sixth child was now in his third year of junior high, and the fifth child had graduated from high school. They watched as their second uncle, Gu, begged and pleaded for a place at a university, only for Gu Changqing to resign, refusing to go no matter what.
Qiu Lanying and her husband fought and scolded him, but Gu Changqing was stubborn and refused to go no matter what. Qiu Lanying was helpless and was determined to find him a wife as soon as possible so that she could take care of this scoundrel.
When it came to finding a wife, Qiu Lanying really wanted to find her son a literate woman. However, there were few girls in the countryside who could read, and finding one who was pretty was impossible. So Qiu Lanying set her sights on the female educated youth. Unfortunately, after searching around, she couldn't find any who were good-looking.
Just when I was feeling sleepy, a pillow appeared. A new educated youth came, and she was a pretty one.
Qiu Lanying cheerfully carried out some of the firewood covered with straw from the corner of the wall, tied it up and carried it on her back. "I'll carry some first, and let Lao Wu carry the rest."
If Li Xianjin doesn't understand what she means, his life will be in vain.
She was the first one to go and see what the girl was like. If she was pretty, she would come back and let Gu Changqing show her off.
Why didn't he know before that his mother-in-law was so cunning?
Qiu Lanying entered the educated youth camp carrying firewood on her back, greeting people along the way. The educated youth rarely went out in the winter and stayed in the house to keep warm, fearing that the sea breeze would wrinkle their faces if they went out.
So when Qiu Lanying arrived, she was alone and didn't see anyone. She called out, "New educated youth, I'm here to bring you firewood."
Bai Ruozhen and others who were chatting in Li Aihong's room looked at Li Aihong when they heard this.
Li Aihong smiled and said, "It's the fellow villagers who came to deliver firewood. Come on, I'll take you out to see."
Bai Ruozhen and the others were delighted and quickly got off the kang, put on their shoes and went out.
Qiu Lanying stood in the yard, put down the firewood, and waited to see her future daughter-in-law.
At this time, Zhao Lai Di came out of Wei Nan's room and smiled at Qiu Lanying, "Thank you, Auntie."
Qiu Lanying looked at her and shook her head slightly. She was not good-looking, just average, not worthy of her bastard son.
"Just call me auntie, it's not right to call me auntie."
The smile on Zhao Lai Di's face froze, and then she called out dryly, "Auntie." Country people are country people, they are really rustic.
Qiu Lanying was anxious to meet her future daughter-in-law, so she responded nonchalantly and then looked carefully at which room the girls came out from.
Zhu Guixia opened the door first, followed by Feng Qiujuan and Li Aihong. Because Bai Ruozhen was slow, they had already gone out by the time he put on his shoes.
Qiu Lanying watched several girls coming out of the house. After taking a closer look, she felt that her eldest son-in-law had poor taste and that they were not as pretty as her daughter. She was immediately disappointed.
Just when she was disappointed, the door opened again and Bai Ruozhen came out, wrapped tightly with his hands in his sleeves and his neck hunched.
Qiu Lanying's eyes lit up. Looking at the face with round eyes that only revealed a small part of her face, she knew that this was the girl her eldest son-in-law had mentioned. She was really beautiful, prettier than the six debt collectors in her family.
Hey, daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law is here to see you.
