When Zhao's father and mother returned to the police station, all the procedures were completed quickly. Zhao's father gave the money to Shu Heping. After Shu Heping checked it and found no problem, he gave it to Xin Zhengzhi to count it again.
Shu Xincheng took out the agreement that had been written long ago and asked Zhao's father, Zhao's mother and Xiao Zhao to sign it.
Before the three left, Shu Heping reminded them to keep a good eye on Xiao Zhao. It was not easy to find a job at this time, and the Zhao family had two jobs.
After leaving the police station, Zhao's father's face immediately darkened and he hit Xiao Zhao on the back twice.
"You rebellious son, don't go looking for Lu Xiaochun again. You don't know him."
Xiao Zhao nodded, but he didn't dare to do it again because he went to look for Lu Xiaochun and was detained for two days, and his family lost eight hundred yuan.
Zhao's mother felt sorry for Xiao Zhao, but she was also annoyed.
The family was left with eight hundred yuan, and they didn’t even marry their daughter-in-law.
"Mom, what is Song Cuicui's request?"
The family walked near the bathhouse. Zhao's father and mother wanted to go back to get something, but Xiao Zhao stopped Zhao's mother.
Zhao's mother's face darkened. She looked around and saw that no one was around. She couldn't help but scolded, "You just wasted 800 yuan. How much more do you want to spend? That's all the money we have. I tell you, if you want to marry Song Cuicui, you only have 500 yuan at most. You don't have anything else. Forget it."
Even if it cost 500 yuan to marry a wife, the Zhao family had to pay 1,300 yuan. Zhao's mother felt distressed and had to give up. She didn't want to talk to Xiao Zhao for a moment and hurried home.
Xiao Zhao: I just want to get married, why is it so difficult?
After returning home, Zhao's mother found the bath ticket and got some clean clothes for Xiao Zhao. She was about to go out when Zhao's father stopped her.
"Go and talk to the Song family and get them married as soon as possible."
Mother Zhao looked reluctant: "But the conditions the Song family wants are too high. We just paid 800 yuan."
Father Zhao became irritated when he heard about money, and he tried hard to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
"If the Song family disagrees, then we can find another family and find a wife for our son as soon as possible."
Zhao's mother was a little confused, and Zhao's father suddenly raised his voice: "Don't you worry about letting others know about this."
"How is that possible? They have already said that if we give the money, we can't tell anyone about it."
"Yes, they can't tell anyone, but if others find out, will your son still be able to get married?" Father Zhao looked at Mother Zhao meaningfully.
"Listen to me. Contact the Song family first and tell them that we are planning to marry off the two children. If they disagree, we will find a new wife for our son."
Now is not the time to choose a daughter-in-law for my son. The time should be to find a wife for my son first, so that Xiao Zhao’s time at the police station will not affect his search for a wife in the future.
If Song Cuicui refuses to marry Xiao Zhao, then we can find another wife for Xiao Zhao. It's hard to find a wife with a job, but aren't there a lot of unemployed ones?
Zhao's mother felt much less angry after hearing what Zhao's father said. She was also worried that the fact that she had been to the police station would affect Xiao Zhao's marriage.
Xiao Zhao went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and when he came back he was told that he had to change his wife.
Xiao Zhao: It seemed like he only took two hours to take a shower?
But during these two hours, Zhao's mother asked the matchmaker to find the Song family. The Song family insisted on not lowering their conditions and even spoke in a condescending tone. Zhao's mother was so angry that she turned hostile on the spot and asked the matchmaker to introduce a new partner to Xiao Zhao, and also mentioned that the betrothal gift was five hundred yuan.
The matchmaker was still a little confused. They were clearly here to discuss marriage, but why did they suddenly have a big argument and had to introduce new partners?
The matchmaker inquired about the situation indirectly, but Zhao's mother only said that they wanted to have a grandson as soon as possible, and since Song Cuicui refused to marry, they could only find someone who was willing to marry.
The matchmaker acted quickly and immediately introduced a girl who lived in a slum. She was pretty, unemployed, and the eldest in the family.
In order to express her anger at the Song family, Zhao's mother immediately asked the matchmaker to invite the girl for a blind date.
So not long after Xiao Zhao returned home from taking a shower, the girl came to his house.
The girl's name is Lu Chunhong. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she is very thin. The matchmaker said that there are three girls and three boys in her family. She is the youngest girl and also the youngest child.
Her parents have passed away and she now lives with her older brother and his wife.
Except for her eldest and second brothers, all the other brothers and sisters in her family went to the countryside. She did not go to the countryside not because her eldest brother felt sorry for her, but because if she left, there would be no one to work at home.
Now that the children in the family have grown up, her elder brother and sister-in-law dislike her for being a freeloader and want to marry her off.
So when Lu Chunhong came, although she was a little shy, she was very diligent.
When Zhao's mother wanted to pour water for them, Lu Chunhong immediately stepped forward to help, looking very well-behaved.
The matchmaker immediately mentioned that Lu Chunhong was very diligent at home.
She was originally a little dissatisfied with Lu Chunhong for not having a job, but when she heard that Lu Chunhong not only helped her brother and sister-in-law take care of the children at home, but also took care of all the housework, she thought that as long as she got married, she could enjoy a good life in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhao's mother was immediately satisfied. Lu Chunhong was very good at observing people's words and expressions. She secretly looked at Xiao Zhao next to her with admiration.
That look was specially practiced. Lu Chunhong learned it from a widow in the yard.
Xiao Zhao felt his whole body tense up instantly.
The group of people were talking happily, and Zhao's mother invited the matchmaker and Lu Chunhong to have dinner on the spot. Lu Chunhong obediently said that she would cook.
Zhao's mother also wanted to try Lu Chunhong's cooking, so she agreed.
Apart from the fact that Lu Chunhong was reluctant to use oil when cooking, Zhao's mother was very satisfied with her. They quickly decided to get engaged in five days and get married after the first month of the lunar year.
In order to tie Xiao Zhao down, Lu Chunhong came to the Zhao family every day to show her courtesy after they got engaged, and soon won over the three members of the Zhao family.
On the other side, Shu Heping had already given the money to Lu Xiaolan, and Lu Xiaolan gave it to Lu Xiaochun, but Lu Xiaochun handed the money back immediately.
"Sis, consider this money as my repayment to you."
She took all the savings of Lu Xiaolan and her husband. Now that she has money in her hands, of course she has to pay it back immediately.
Lu Xiaolan wanted Lu Xiaochun to keep some money, but Lu Xiaochun shook his head and said that she was eating and living in the factory and didn't need any money.
In just a few days, Lu Xiaochun had lost a lot of weight and looked much more haggard. Lu Xiaolan sighed and reminded Lu Xiaochun to eat well and nourish himself.
Lu Xiaochun nodded and indicated that he would eat well.
After Lu Xiaolan left, the smile on Lu Xiaochun's face disappeared instantly.
She had been suffering from insomnia for several days. She would wake up with a start every time she fell asleep and keep her eyes open until dawn. However, she did not tell Lu Xiaolan about this because she was afraid that Lu Xiaolan would worry.
And now she doesn't go anywhere else except the logistics department, canteen and dormitory.
On weekends, she would go shopping in the department store with her colleagues, and when she returned to the Shu family, she would specifically look for someone and no longer walk alone.
Her behavior of protecting herself made Xin Zhengzhi completely lose all chances, and Xin Zhengzhi was so anxious that he went to the Shu family.
