Li Feng: "It hasn't been decided yet. It depends on what kind of person he wants to find. My opinion doesn't count."
Liang Qiaomei covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised. "You are his eldest sister-in-law. As the old saying goes, an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. You have to help arrange his marriage. When the time comes, choose a capable one for him. In a few years, your family will be able to live well!"
Li Feng bit her lip. Hu Gang had talked to her about this issue yesterday, asking her to spend more time with the villagers. If that didn't work, she could ask her aunt to introduce her to a similar girl. Hu Tie didn't have a partner yet!
She smiled awkwardly, "We just got married, our family hasn't saved enough money yet, and we haven't met the right person yet."
"Why isn't there one?" Liang Qiaomei turned her head slightly and glanced at Li Feng. "Let's not talk about those far away. There are several suitable girls in our village alone. To put it mildly, the He family's Jinzhi is not bad. The girl is also very capable, but her mother has brought bad reputation to her. That's why it's hard to say about her in-laws. She's more than enough to match your brother!"
Li Feng's smile was about to fade, and she pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly, "Forget about He Jinzhi. I heard she's only sixteen, which is still a little younger than my brother-in-law."
"You think she's too young? There are older ones. Wang's Songhua, this year... well..." Liang Qiaomei thought for a moment before continuing, "She should be eighteen or nineteen. Isn't that the perfect age? She has a thick waist and a big butt. You can tell she's good at giving birth!"
Li Feng looked around hurriedly after hearing this, fearing that Hu Xiaohong would come out from some corner and grab her hair and beat her up. When she saw no one, she whispered, "Aunt Wang has a bad temper. We're afraid our son will get angry. Besides, our family can't afford such a high bride price."
Liang Qiaomei knew she wouldn't agree, so she pretended to suddenly remember something, slapped her thigh, and said, "Oh, I have a great candidate. I guarantee you won't find any fault with him!"
"Who is it?" Qiuju was listening with great interest and couldn't help but interrupt.
Liang Qiaomei pointed towards the south and said, "That one!"
Seeing that the two still didn't understand, he simply said it bluntly, and raised his eyes in the direction of Tian Cai's family, "Isn't he the only doctor in our team?"
"She's got the looks and the skills. She keeps her house tidy and is a master at her job. And most importantly, she can earn as much as a man year-round! She's so capable, beautiful, and has such a good personality. You can't really find fault with her, right?"
Li Feng couldn't even pull up the corners of his mouth now, and said expressionlessly, "She has such good conditions, but she can't be interested in us, right?"
"Oh, how do you know if you haven't tried it? Maybe Doctor Tian likes someone like Tiezi. When Tiezi gets married, even if the two brothers separate, you two sisters-in-law can live together and take care of each other. Doctor Tian will be alone, and you don't have to worry about her family ruining her reputation, and you don't have to worry about having a powerful mother-in-law. What a great match!"
The more Liang Qiaomei thought about it, the more she felt it was a good fit. She then said excitedly, "You said you two both have fair complexions. I thought I was fair enough. Seeing you two, I finally understand what it means to be better than others. It just so happens that these two brothers are dark-skinned. Marrying a good-looking wife would improve the appearance of the Hu family!"
She just couldn't stand Li Feng's spoiled look. The two families lived close to each other, and she knew exactly what happened in the Hu family every day. But Hu Gang was like he had never seen a woman before. He praised this woman as a fairy and didn't let her do anything for fear that she would be tired.
Liang Qiaomei once heard the two of them talking in private, saying that there was no woman in the village prettier than Li Feng. Ugh!
When Li Feng heard this, she thought of Tian Cai's white skin that almost reflected light and her beautiful appearance. Then she thought of herself. For some reason, she had no intention of becoming her sister-in-law.
Li Feng had no feelings towards Liang Qiaomei before, but now she felt a trace of disgust in her heart. Somehow she saw the characteristics of those gossipy women in her family in this person. She didn't know what those people were thinking, but they had to compare everything, as if their own excellence would not be reflected if they didn't compare.
Moreover, the Hu brothers are destined to separate. The two brothers are similar in all aspects. If Tiezi marries such a beautiful, capable and money-making wife, won’t the gap between the two families’ lives become increasingly larger in the future?
She wasn't jealous, she just felt that the sisters-in-law of the same family must often be compared with each other by outsiders. Compared with others, she might not lose, but compared with Tian Cai——
She was not that vicious. She did not want to find a girl with a bad reputation like He Jinzhi or Wang Songhua for her brother-in-law. There were several good girls in the village. If that didn't work out, there were girls from other communes. As long as she was similar to her in all aspects, it would be fine, not too bad or too bad.
Li Feng used to be dominated by her elder sister in everything, and she doesn't want to live like that for the rest of her life.
Qiuju swallowed. Although she understood, she seemed not to understand completely. The atmosphere between the two people seemed not right, and why did Feng'er look unhappy? She recalled what Liang Qiaomei had just said, and didn't find anything wrong. So what was wrong with her?
Li Feng lowered her eyes, feeling increasingly upset. She didn't want to listen any further, so she simply covered her mouth and pretended to retch, "Ugh—"
"Hey, Feng'er, what's wrong with you?" Qiuju saw it and quickly shook the water off her hands. She came over to hold her arm and said worriedly, "Are you sick again? Come on, I'll take you home and lie down for a while. Don't they have some sour grapes that Gangzi picked from the mountains? Eat a couple of them and I'll bring your clothes back later."
"This, this is not good," Li Feng leaned on Qiuju, breathing slightly, as if all the strength in his body had been drained by the vomiting just now.
"Oh, it's okay. Come, lean on me." Qiu Ju supported Li Feng and turned back to greet Liang Qiaomei. "Qiaomei, Feng'er is not feeling well. I'm going to send her home first. Please help us look after the clothes. I'll be back soon."
"Okay, go ahead!"
After everyone left, Liang Qiaomei rolled her eyes and said, "Bah—you're such a pretentious person!"
Just as she was about to lower her head to continue washing clothes, she saw a corner of a red object sticking out of the large wooden tub where Li Feng was washing clothes.
Liang Qiaomei somehow lifted it out of the water with two fingers. The piece of cloth was very small, and she shook it and unfolded it.
The cloth is in the shape of a long strip. Although it is called a long strip, it is actually narrower in the middle, only about five centimeters wide, and there are two thin ropes connected to both sides of the cloth.
Liang Qiaomei was more knowledgeable than the average village girl. She had seen the bras that were sold in the county town before, but they were different from this one and not as long. She couldn't remember what the cloth was used for for a moment, so she threw it back into Li Feng's basin.
