The matchmaker introduced her and Shen's mother with a smile, "The tall one is called Pei Yang. He is tall and handsome. He has really good conditions. He has a city hukou, his parents are both dead, and he still has a stable job. Your daughter will be the head of the family once she gets married, and she won't have to serve her parents-in-law. His son is only four years old and can't remember anything yet. If you raise him well, he will be no worse than your own son in the future. The only bad thing about Pei Yang is his job. He is away from home all year round, but he earns a lot. His salary alone is more than 100 yuan a month, and he also has food coupons, meat coupons and various allowances. The four major items of the family were prepared by the old nanny before she died. He is really rich!"
Such conditions really made Liu Cuihua excited. She kept nodding to the matchmaker and smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
In a poor place like Shenjiagou, it is hard to find such a good son-in-law even with a lantern.
However, Shen Baolan, the person involved, did not take it seriously and instead pointed at the short man next to Pei Yang.
"What about him?"
"That's Zhou Shuhuan. You can say that the Zhou family is not bad. He has a city hukou, his father is an employee of an ocean-going company, and he himself is a serious secondary school student. After graduation, he taught for a few years. That's right, last year he learned to do business, but he was reported by a jealous person and sentenced to speculation and profiteering. He was just released last month. And now, his ex-wife is divorcing him because of this."
This won’t do. We cannot marry someone who has been in prison, especially one who is getting married for the second time.
Although they are all stepmothers, Pei Yang's child has no mother and the family is small, so she will be the head of the family after she gets married.
Zhou Shuhuan is getting married for the second time. His child’s biological mother is still alive, so no matter how hard he tries to raise his child, he won’t be able to take care of him. If he gets married, he will have to take care of the elderly and the young, which is a burden on both ends.
Another thing is that Zhou Shuhuan was not good-looking, was short, and wore glasses. He was far inferior to the tall and handsome Pei Yang.
Liu Cuihua looked at Zhou Shuhuan in the yard and shook her head, but Shen Baolan's eyes were shining.
"I choose Zhou Shuhuan."
Liu Cuihua got anxious when she heard this, "No! Didn't we agree on this? We'll choose the guy with the surname Pei. He's tall and strong, and he can make money. What great conditions!"
"Mom, if you listen to me this time, I will ensure that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in this life!"
After saying that, Shen Baolan urged the matchmaker to talk to Zhou Shuhuan.
The matchmaker hesitated and did not move. After all, it was clear from Liu Cuihua's attitude that she did not like Zhou Shuhuan.
Another thing is that Shen Mingzhu hasn't seen it yet. It was agreed that the two families would look at it together. If Shen Baolan took the person away without waiting for Shen Mingzhu to come, it would be difficult to explain to Shen Mingzhu.
"Aunt Li, please go quickly. If this is done, I will give you double the matchmaking gift!"
When the matchmaker heard that there was double the matchmaker gift, his eyes lit up. He didn't care whether Shen Mingzhu was there or not. He turned around and ran happily to the yard.
Liu Cuihua was so anxious that she hit and pinched Shen Baolan, "You damn girl, are you trying to piss me off to death? You could have picked the white flour buns but only the disgusting dog shit. You will regret it one day in the future!"
She will regret it if she doesn't choose Zhou Shuhuan!
Looking through the crack in the door at Zhou Shuhuan talking to the matchmaker in the yard, Shen Baolan felt as certain as if she had swallowed a weight.
Don't be fooled by Zhou Shuhuan's ugly appearance and his experience in prison, which makes him seem like he will never be able to turn his life around. But in a few years, Zhou Shuhuan will become a wealthy multi-millionaire.
As for Pei Yang, he seems to be good in every way, but he is going to die in half a year, and whoever marries him will be a widow.
It is absolutely impossible for her to marry Pei Yang and become a widow. Let Shen Mingzhu marry him and become a widow! Although it is a bit unkind, but if a person does not take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Who made Shen Mingzhu have a bad fate?
Even God was on her side. He sent her a dream last night, telling her how miserable she would be after marrying Pei Yang. However, Shen Mingzhu became a rich lady by marrying Zhou Shuhuan. She lived in a big villa, drove a car, had three nannies to serve her at home, and did not have to do any housework. Her life was even more comfortable than when she was a girl in her parents' home.
Zhou Shuhuan was obviously surprised to learn that Shen Baolan had taken a fancy to him. He glanced at Pei Yang, who had an expressionless face, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.
He and Pei Yang were childhood friends, but he was inferior to Pei Yang in every way and he also had a criminal record. He had prepared himself to be picked out, but he never expected that the girl would actually fall for him.
"Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I'll go meet someone first..."
Pei Yang nodded and watched Zhou Shuhuan and the matchmaker enter the main room.
As soon as he entered the main room and saw Shen Baolan behind the door, Zhou Shuhuan's eyes lit up.
Shen Baolan was also very satisfied with Zhou Shuhuan.
Because she foresaw Zhou Shuhuan's brilliant future, even though Zhou Shuhuan in front of her was not very impressive in appearance, in her eyes he was shining as if coated with a layer of gold.
After the matchmaker introduced the two parties, she hurried out. She still had to take Pei Yang to meet Shen Mingzhu.
They had originally agreed to meet at Shen Baolan's house, but Shen Mingzhu fell into a ditch when she went out that morning and was not feeling well, so they sent a message to bring her over to see the couple.
Just get it. It’s all in Shenjiagou anyway, so it’s just half a mile longer.
At Shen Mingzhu's house, Qin Jinlian was feeling angry.
She also had her eyes on Pei Yang as her son-in-law, but her daughter went out for a blind date that morning and fell into a ditch and nearly drowned! Now, Pei Yang was definitely going to be picked up by Shen Baolan.
"Alas, when you are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in your teeth! You can't even walk properly, what use are you!"
Qin Jinlian scolded her daughter who was sleeping on the bed in a bad mood, turned around and went outside. She asked someone to pass a message to the matchmaker, and the matchmaker should bring Zhou Shuhuan over by now.
Although Zhou Shuhuan was not as good as Pei Yang in every aspect, the Zhou family had announced in advance that they would give him a betrothal gift of 500 yuan and arrange a job for him in the city if they chose him.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
The second son is getting married and is waiting for the 500 yuan dowry to help him out. When his daughter gets married and has a job, she can also give some money to her parents' home every month.
Thinking about it this way, Zhou Shuhuan is a pretty good son-in-law.
Qin Jinlian comforted herself.
After a while, the matchmaker brought someone to the door. Qin Jinlian thought she was seeing things when she first saw him. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. It was Pei Yang! This was truly a case of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It was easy to get what you want.
Qin Jinlian's mouth was crooked from laughing.
Pei Yang was anxious to find a stepmother for his son, and Shen Mingzhu's family was in urgent need of money, so the two sides hit it off.
Pei Yang agreed to give a betrothal gift of 550 yuan, 50 yuan more than what the Zhou family gave, and the only condition was to get the marriage certificate immediately.
His train was at 5pm, and before he left, Shen Mingzhu had to move to his house to take care of his sick son.
Qin Jinlian was so overwhelmed by the 550 yuan betrothal gift that she felt dizzy. She kept assuring him that there was no problem, but then she turned around and went into the house with a basin of cold water.
“Crash!”
Shen Mingzhu was awakened by the cold water. She sat up from the bed with a start and was stunned when she saw the environment she was in.
Brick walls, mud floors, wooden rafters and tiled roofs, it's obviously a rural area from the 1970s or 1980s.
What's going on?
Where was this? She was lying in her apartment, and she wondered how she ended up sleeping here. Was she dreaming?
Before she could figure out the situation, she was dragged off the bed. "Don't sleep anymore. Pack some clothes quickly. Pei Yang is waiting outside for you to get the certificate!"
Coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and looking at the bright red marriage certificate in her hand, Shen Mingzhu felt indescribable surprise.
She is a single woman, but she actually married a man in her dream?
So is the next step the wedding night?
