"Chen Zhiqing, although my family and yours are relatives, we are not really familiar with each other. You don't have to come to visit me specially. If you have any problems in your Shen family, you can find my son, but please don't find me. Please go back." Chen Feng despises us old couple, and I don't believe that the people in the Shen family don't know it.
"Grandpa Jiang, why do you have to say such hurtful things? I came here to visit you sincerely. When I came, my uncle told me to stay in his room and get along well with you. I also treat you as my elders." Shen Yijun said it directly, afraid that he would be more euphemistic. Before he could finish his words, Jiang He was about to close the door.
"He called to ask, but we refused on the spot. Didn't Jiang Mingli tell you? Well, I'm telling you now. We old couple don't like strangers living in our home. I hope Shen Zhiqing understands."
"Grandpa Jiang, I won't eat and live for free, I will pay."
"This is not a question of money. I've said that we don't like strangers living in our home. Besides, we old people have different living habits from you young people, so it would be very uncomfortable for us to get along with each other. It would be better for Shen Zhiqing to live in the Zhiqing residence! This way you will have company. You are of similar age and have common topics. The weather is getting colder, and I am old and cannot bear the cold. I will go back first, and Shen Zhiqing should go back too." After Jiang He finished speaking, he gently closed the gate.
Shen Yijun’s eyes immediately became fierce.
"You old idiot, you're so stubborn and ungrateful. My words don't work, do they? Okay, I'll have my aunt come and tell you. I'll write a letter when I get back. Let's see if you're still so stubborn. If you don't come and beg me, I won't stay with you. Humph, you're so shameless."
Shen Yijun strode back to the Youth League Courtyard in anger.
Xu Hehua: "Old man, it's so late, who is it?"
"The one from the Shen family said that our good son should live in his room. Humph, Jiang Mingli is really my good son."
Xu Hehua exclaimed, "Ah! It's been so many days, I thought he wouldn't come, I didn't expect Shushu to be right."
"That educated youth surnamed Shen has those cunning eyes. You can tell he's not a good person at first glance. I've been paying special attention to him these past few days. He's a man who's incompetent at everything he does and eats everything he eats. That's right, if the Shen family can raise someone like Shen Feng, then the others must be no better. It's no surprise that they'd do something like take advantage of us."
"I've clearly refused, old woman. If that educated young man Shen comes looking for you, don't pay any attention to him. He can't even get into my house. The mention of the surname Shen makes me angry. It's not enough for the Shen family to raise a son for nothing, but they want us, two old bones, to serve them."
…
Li Chunyan sat in the Youth League Courtyard, looking at Shen Yijun who was sulking, trying to take out and bring back the egg cake in his hand, and she knew that what he wanted to do was unsuccessful.
Li Chunyan felt both happy and regretful. She was happy that Shen Yijun would continue to suffer, but she regretted that if Shen Yijun could live in the Jiang family, she could use Shen Yijun to go to the Jiang family.
Early the next morning, Jiang He and his wife took freshly baked potatoes to visit Jiang Shushu in Q City. They also met Shen Yijun on the ox cart, but Jiang He and his wife pretended not to know him and did not take the initiative to say hello.
When Jiang Laoba saw Jiang He and his wife, he immediately greeted them, "Fifth brother, Fifth sister-in-law, are you going to visit your daughter?"
Jiang He: "Yeah! I haven't seen Shushu in a few days. I went to check on her. The team just distributed potatoes, so I brought some for her to try."
…
Jiang He and his brother Jiang Lao Ba chatted casually and soon arrived in the city.
When Jiang He and his wife arrived, Jiang Shushu had just finished breakfast.
"Mom and Dad, you're here. Have you had breakfast? If not, you can cook something for yourselves. There's everything in the kitchen."
Xu Hehua: "I've eaten. Don't worry about us. Your dad and I came to see you and bring you some potatoes."
"Hey, thank you, Mom and Dad. I'll definitely have the whole spicy and sour potato shreds tomorrow morning. I'll eat less in the afternoon and come back to eat with you tonight."
"Okay, Mom will make you some spicy and sour shredded potatoes tonight."
"Thanks, Mom, Dad. I'll leave my bike at home. If I want to go somewhere farther, I'll ride it. I'm going to work first."
Jiang He and his wife: "Okay, drive slowly."
Jiang Shushu ran to the east of the state-owned restaurant and met Qian Xiaoni and Zheng Juanjuan on the way.
Qian Xiaoni: "Shushu, why didn't you ride your bike today?"
"Sister Xiaoni, Sister Juanjuan, good morning. My parents came to visit me from the village. I left my bicycle with them so they can go somewhere farther away."
Zheng Juanjuan: "I heard there's a new park in the west with beautiful scenery. Shushu, you can ask your parents to go there. If it weren't too far and you have to go to work every day, I'd also like to go see it."
"That's great! My parents now have another place to go. I'll go back and tell them tonight and ask them to check it out next time they come."
…
The three of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the east side of the state-owned restaurant. They had just finished cleaning and opened the door. Less than five minutes later, Zhao the matchmaker walked in with a young couple, smiling.
Jiang Shushu skillfully and quickly brought them to the table by the window, and considerately gave them a pot of tea for free.
Because it was the first time that a lesbian ordered and paid the bill, this blind date couple received great attention from Jiang Shushu and the other two.
The lesbian is paying the bill, isn't that to invite a live-in son-in-law?
After listening for only five minutes, Jiang Shushu realized that she was right. It was indeed a lesbian looking for a son-in-law.
The blind date over there was in full swing. Since it was the first time they had seen a blind date meeting to recruit a live-in son-in-law, Qian Xiaoni and Jiang Shushu stood not far away and listened with great interest. However, the more they listened, the more uncomfortable they felt.
Qian Xiaoni gently touched Jiang Shushu with her hand, her eyes questioning.
"Do you think that man will agree? These conditions are too harsh."
Jiang Shushu shook his head and said no. Although the man's expression did not change, the fist in his hand could show how angry he was?
This woman's demands became increasingly outrageous. How could this be called a live-in son-in-law? This was like recruiting a slave. She offered a mere 100 yuan betrothal gift, but demanded that he do all the housework and that the child take her last name. She promised to find him a job, but he had to turn over all his wages. After marriage, he was expected to care for her paralyzed father, but not his own parents. No one with any sense would agree to such demands.
When the woman mentioned that she had to take care of her paralyzed father and could not take care of the man's own parents' birth, old age, sickness and death, the man stood up and said it was inappropriate. The man ignored the woman and Zhao the matchmaker's dissuasion and left without saying anything.
