He took a long puff of smoke and said in a skeptical tone, "Are you so kind? Are there any strings attached?"
"I really don't have the conditions. It's just that I really can't bear to part with Shumei, such a good daughter-in-law. I have always treated her like my own daughter, so I want to find a son-in-law to live with me. I don't want Shumei to get married."
Wu Ju kept smiling broadly, fearing that a bad look would anger Kang Yong and make her trip in vain.
I was just saying! How could you be so kind? But! This doesn't seem to have any impact on me, it's a hundred benefits with no harm. As long as Shumei doesn't come home and eat and drink from my pot, whether she gets married or gets married, it has nothing to do with me.
Kang Yong thought about it and decided to help Wu Ju.
"Okay, I'll help you. Don't forget your promise today. You know my temper. If you don't keep it, don't blame me for being heartless."
"Don't worry, father-in-law. We are over a hundred years old between us. How could we possibly pull off those childish tricks? There's no time to lose. Come with me to my house today. It's the first of the day, and Shumei is due home."
"Have you found your target yet?"
"Don't worry, the person has already been found. It's just that your Shumei has hooked up with a man in the village whose wife has died. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my father-in-law to go there."
"Difficulty? There's nothing I, Kang Yong, can't accomplish. Let's go, let's go now. On the way, tell me about the man whose wife died."
Kang Yong said this and stood up to leave. Wu Ju followed him excitedly and called Zhang Xiaoqin, who was chatting with Kang Fadada's wife outside the courtyard. The three of them rushed to Zhang's house together.
Kang Fadada's wife, seeing Kang Yong in a hurry, asked hurriedly, "Dad, where are you going?"
"Tell your mother that I'm going to Shumei's house to do something and will be back soon. Tell her not to look for me."
Kang Yong gave some instructions to his daughter-in-law as he walked, so that Su Kui wouldn't be confused when she came back and couldn't see him.
After the three crossed the river, they began to act separately. Wu Ju was responsible for taking Kang Yong back to Zhang's house, while Zhang Xiaoqin went to notify the person who had already been found for Shumei.
With the previous experience with Wang Changxing as a warning, Zhang Xiaoqin chose a completely honest man this time. Wang Changxing's situation had left her at a loss as to what to do. She heard from her in-laws' acquaintances that the village chief was visiting her home so often that she didn't even need to go home.
As usual, Shumei helped Qianqian open the door and did her morning business. At noon, she rode Qianqian's bicycle back to "Little Taiwan".
In order to make a living, Shumei can only see her child once a month. For her, this day is the happiest day of the month.
Before leaving, she would also buy blood candies for her daughter to take back. After all, she is a child! Her favorite candies are those that are hard to come by on other days.
Shumei was pushing her bicycle and had just reached the gate of the yard when she heard a voice that she hadn't heard for a long time, but which was so familiar to her that it couldn't be more familiar.
Dad? Why is Dad here?
Shumei, feeling uneasy, slowly pushed her bicycle towards the yard.
She knew her father well enough to know what kind of person he was. He wouldn't come all this way unless there was something to gain. Shumei had a bad feeling; this was definitely not a good thing. She had been so eager to get home just a moment ago, but now she was reluctant to go in.
"Shumei is back!"
When Shumei came in, Wu Ju was the first to come forward to greet her.
Shumei glanced towards the courtyard and her eyes fell on Kang Yong. She instantly turned into a docile little lamb, "Dad, why are you here?"
Kang Yong sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, a few cups of tea and some peanuts on the table. Opposite Kang Yong sat a strange-looking man, who appeared to be an honest man. Huang Yaoniang also sat at the stone table, smiling playfully, deftly peeling peanuts.
Judging from the harmonious atmosphere, they were having a pleasant conversation before Shumei came back.
Shumei didn't understand. With her father's personality and her mother-in-law who was always fussy, how could they ever get along?
After thinking about it, Shumei quickly set her eyes on the strange man. All this should be his credit.
"What? Isn't it okay for a father to come and see his daughter?" Kang Yong replied coldly.
Wu Ju was very attentive and pulled Shumei over. "Jia'an, this is Shumei. Seeing her in person isn't always as good as hearing about her. I hope you're not disappointed! She's a beautiful woman, diligent and virtuous. You'd be lucky to marry her. Don't miss this great opportunity."
What's going on? Why does this sound so awkward? It's like they're pimping. Are they trying to find me a partner again? This is too much. They clearly know that Boyi and I are together. If it weren't for the fire, Boyi and I would be living a happy life now.
The man named Jia'an stood up from the stone bench and stared at Shumei again and again with his straight eyes, looking as if he was drooling.
"This person has also seen it, so why don't you say something? Do you think they are like each other?"
Wu Ju had already seen the impatience in Jia'an's eyes, and deliberately pretended to be confused and asked a question.
Jia'an came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly in response, "It's agreed, it's agreed, everything will be done according to what the two elders said, I have no objection, if I marry into the family, then I will marry into the family."
"Mom, what are you doing?" Shumei finally couldn't help it, and she pretended to be confused and asked.
Wu Ju handed the baton to Kang Yong with a half-smile on her face. "Well, let your father explain it to you."
"What? How come you've become stupider after not seeing you for so long? Do I need to explain this to you? Your mother-in-law and I are arranging your lifelong event."
