Xu Fengxian would definitely not have allowed it in the first place. How could one eat one's own food and then go to work for someone else?
This time, however, it was indeed at her behest.
After the start of spring, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian gradually became more visible in the village. Many people secretly discussed what kind of husband such good girls should look for.
The speaker may have meant no harm, but Xu Fengxian immediately took notice upon hearing it.
These two are money-making gems. If we marry one of them as a daughter-in-law, wouldn't she be better than all the other women in the village?
It's worth noting that Xing Chunhua's three daughters-in-law are all quite accomplished; they are cultured, virtuous, and have excellent reputations.
As for herself, her three sons were all married, but in her eyes, each one was less presentable than the last. Her fourth son was currently having a passionate affair with the daughter of the village party secretary next door…
Now it seems that only the youngest son is still unmarried.
If her youngest son could marry Zhu Qinghao, and then she started some side business, wouldn't the whole village have to watch her Xu Fengxian's every move?
She became more and more agitated as she thought about it, and when she got home, she secretly pulled her youngest son aside and told him about it.
For reasons unknown, Xu Fengxian deliberately avoided talking to her first few sons and daughters-in-law, but she didn't expect that her fourth son would overhear her.
"Mother! What do you mean? Such a good thing, and you're only thinking about Fifth Brother? I haven't even gotten married yet!"
Xu Fengxian was trying to coax her youngest son with empty promises, but before he could even fall for it, her fourth son arrived.
"Oh dear, go away, don't think I don't know about your affair with Wu Chunni. You'd better go and coax her properly; her father is the brigade secretary!"
To be fair, He Laosi was quite handsome, the best-looking among his brothers; otherwise, Wu Chunni wouldn't have been interested in him.
He Laosi was originally quite pleased with himself. None of his older brothers had married very well, but he was dating the daughter of the brigade secretary. How prestigious was that?
Moreover, he had never dared to hope for educated youth from the city before, partly because people in the team generally disliked those delicate female educated youth.
Secondly, he felt deep down that he was not good enough for them, especially with the popular Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian who came later. He didn't think anyone in the team was good enough for them.
But now, his thinking has changed dramatically. If He Laowu can do it, why can't he?
After hearing Xu Fengxian's perfunctory reply, he kept rolling his eyes, clearly thinking that his mother was just trying to coax him.
He pretended to walk away, but actually hid behind the wall and listened intently as Xu Fengxian instructed He Laowu on how to attract Zhu Qinghao's attention and how to coax her home... His inner thoughts gradually became more complex:
Wu Chunni is indeed a well-educated girl, and she was originally quite respectable, but compared to Zhu Qinghao, she is nothing!
Zhu Qinghao, a city girl, looks fair and delicate, and is so beautiful. She is incomparable to Wu Chunni, a village girl who runs around in the fields all day.
Moreover, that educated youth surnamed Zhu looks wealthy. If I really marry her, then her money will be mine.
...
With similar thoughts growing stronger, He Laosi's desire to dump Wu Chunni and pursue Zhu Qinghao became increasingly intense.
You can hear Xu Fengxian inside telling He Laowu to flatter Zhu Qinghao, which makes He Laosi extremely resentful.
