Chapter 211: Uncle Zhou Zhengfu comes to propose marriage
Early in the morning on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Rongsheng and his wife went directly to Shenzhen.
Rong Mei and the others are also planning to leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because the clothing stores will have to open on the fifth or sixth day of the New Year at the latest.
Business is booming during the Spring Festival, and Liu Rong can't bear to take one more day off. If she opens the store one day earlier, she will earn one more day's money.
These two days, it is the brothers Zhou Nanxu and Zhou Zhengfu who go to visit relatives to wish them a happy new year. Rong Mei really doesn't have the heart to go, so she might as well just rest at home for a few days.
When the two brothers of the Zhou family go to wish others a happy new year, naturally some people will also come to the Zhou family to wish them a happy new year.
However, most of the people who come to pay New Year’s greetings are weasels and have no good intentions.
For example, early this morning, the Zhou Nanxu brothers were not at home, and even Zhou Dabao had gone with them. Only Liu Rong and Rong Mei were left at home, and of course, there was also Uncle Li.
Some of the fences in the yard were broken, so Uncle Li went to the bamboo forest early in the morning to cut some bamboo and came back to replace or repair the broken ones. Liu Rong was also helping in the yard, while Rong Mei was brushing the edges of shoes at the other end of the yard.
Ding-ling-ling, the bicycle bell rang twice outside the yard.
"Oh, my sister-in-law is really hardworking. She has been busy since early morning."
Rong Mei straightened up and looked over. The person who came was a middle-aged man, about 40 or 50 years old. He had a pair of small eyes full of cunning light, and his hair was greasy and stuck to his scalp. It was obvious that he hadn't washed his hair in a long time. A few sparse strands of hair tried to cover his forehead, which was already beginning to bald.
After searching her mind, Rong Mei was sure that she had no impression of the man, let alone had never seen him before, so it was most likely that he was not from Ertuozi Village.
But she intuitively felt that the person who came was not a good person. Although she called her sister-in-law, the tone of her voice was not so pleasant.
Liu Rong also looked over after hearing the voice. When she saw the person coming, her eyes changed and her brows were tightly locked together. She didn't even respond.
This made Rong Mei even more curious, so she put down the brush in her hand and walked over.
Although the man in front of her spoke with a strong Northeastern accent, his height was very unauthentic. He was not even as tall as Rong Mei, and was even half a head shorter than her.
When Rong Mei came over, she looked at the man several times with a scrutinizing and wary gaze.
The man ignored Liu Rong's cold attitude towards him. When he saw Rong Mei, he smiled slyly. His thick lips immediately opened and he said in a flattering tone, "This must be my nephew's wife. I heard a long time ago that he married a beautiful wife. Now I see her for the first time. She is really beautiful. You can't find such a beauty in the whole village."
He even took the initiative to introduce himself to Rong Mei, "Niece-in-law, you haven't met me yet, I'm your uncle."
Rong Mei is still thinking about her uncle? Liu Rong's own brother is here?
But looking at the way Liu Rong avoided her, she didn't look like her mother's family. You know, based on the feelings Liu Rong described about her mother's family, she should have tears in her eyes when they met. And this person doesn't look like Liu Rong at all, and he even said that he was waiting to take her back to Handan after the Spring Festival.
Just as she was wondering, the man's next sentence finally made Rong Mei understand.
"Just follow Zhengfu's lead. I'm Zhengfu's uncle from her mother's family. We're all relatives."
As soon as these words were spoken, Rong Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, it would be too difficult for her. If he was really Zhou Nanxu's uncle, what should she do? It is said that the face reflects the heart. Looking at this ugly face, she simply didn't want to recognize him.
Liu Rong had calmed down by now. She knew that the man in front of her would never come to her house for no reason. She didn't want him to talk too much with her daughter-in-law, so she stood in front of Rong Mei.
Thinking of the ridiculous marriage between Zhou Zhengfu and Luo Xiuxiu, he looked at the man coldly and asked, "Uncle, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that Liu Rong finally paid attention to him, Luo Macheng also turned his attention from Rong Mei and smiled happily, "I'm here for a happy event, a big happy event, to act as a matchmaker for your family, hehe."
"We don't need a matchmaker in our family!" Before Liu Rong could open her mouth, Uncle Li stepped forward, his pupils filled with anger, and rejected her directly without any courtesy.
These people are so annoying. Why do they think about matchmaking for Comrade Liu Rong every day? Fortunately, he arrived in time, otherwise, when Liu Rong returns to Hebei Province, he will have no status in this life.
It would be fine if the matchmaker introduced some excellent ones. He would not be so angry. He was willing to compete fairly with others. No matter what kind of ugly ones were introduced, they could be brought here. Comrade Liu Rong was not a garbage collector.
Luo Macheng was frightened and took several steps back when Uncle Li suddenly appeared in front of him.
Even though Uncle Li always smiles at everyone on a daily basis, don't forget that he went to the battlefield when he was a teenager and killed people with real guns and swords. Once his face gets stern, the murderous intent in his eyes can't be hidden.
Even though he is old now, the aura around him and the intimidating power of his eyes are still there. Moreover, at this moment, he is still holding the bamboo knife that he used to break bamboo. If Luo Macheng had not thought about the connection between today's events and his family's future prosperity and wealth, he would have turned around and rode away on his bicycle.
Luo Macheng smiled and slowly backed away until he reached a position where he thought he was safe. If the other party attacked him, he could escape at any time. Then he smiled and said to Uncle Li, "My dear, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. You are the brother-in-law that my sister-in-law brought back. Brother-in-law, I'm not here to propose marriage to my sister-in-law. I'm here to propose marriage to my eldest nephew Zhou Zhengfu."
With a loud bang, as soon as Luo Macheng finished speaking, Liu Rong pointed at the door excitedly and said, "Go away, our family doesn't need you to be a matchmaker. It's not enough to trick him once, and you want to trick him a second time, right?"
Liu Rong felt a pain in her heart when she thought about how her weakness almost ruined her child's life.
This time, no matter how much Luo Macheng made a fuss, she would not agree!!!
Seeing that Liu Rong was in a bad mood, Uncle Li started to drive her away again, "I told you to leave, did you hear me?"
As soon as Uncle Li approached, Luo Macheng began to retreat again. When he left the yard, Uncle Li immediately stopped him and closed the fence gate.
Although Luo Macheng left the yard, he obviously had not given up.
Because of his height, the fence gate was a little higher than he was, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. He could only jump up and down as he spoke.
"Sister-in-law, I was blind to what happened to Village Chief Luo's family before. I didn't expect that he actually had a wicked daughter-in-law. But I promise that this time, I will introduce her to you. This situation will never happen again. She will definitely serve you well. If you tell her to go east, she won't dare to go west. If she dares to talk back to you, then I, as a father, will be the first to disagree. Send her back to me and I will deal with her."
"Sister-in-law, everyone is saying this is a fake, that's not right, everyone is saying this cousin is a couple, we are so close, if Hua'er marries us, our two families will be even closer, right..."
