Chapter 12: Unexpected Proposal
Tit for tat.
Lin Yiyi has a hot temper and always fights over everything.
Sun Yanmei is always the one who speaks hurtfully, just like when the frying pan meets water, the ones who suffer are the bystanders.
Wang Rulan was so angry that she wanted to curse, these two troublemakers were causing trouble every day.
Thinking about the bed full of Lin Yiyi’s bath water, he felt disgusted, but he still cared about his image and said, “Everyone’s quilt is not soaked, right?
Yiyi, forgive others when you can. We are all educated youth who went to the countryside, so we should unite and not create internal conflicts because of personal reasons.
As your good sister, I have to say this even if it offends you. Apologize to everyone quickly and this matter will be over."
Lin Yiyi: ???
What's wrong with Wang Rulan that she makes decisions for herself?
She is the victim, why should she apologize?
"Why did the water spill out? It was Sun Yanmei who bumped into it and knocked it over. Her impulsiveness caused everyone to suffer.
She was the instigator, she was the first to take action, and she is the one who should say sorry.
Find out the cause and effect of the matter before judging. Don’t go on the wrong stage when pretending to be magnanimous.”
Wang Rulan choked and said angrily: "Is it wrong to be a peacemaker?
"Okay, okay, I'll do what I say for your own good. If you don't appreciate it, I'm just meddling in other people's business."
Lin Yiyi rolled her eyes.
She really didn't want to talk to Wang Rulan, the tea tree spirit, a bad person who was always trying to set traps for you.
Avoid it if you can and be more vigilant, otherwise you will get old easily because of the daily intrigue.
Everyone else had their own thoughts, and no one spoke anymore, tacitly.
A lot of mess happened in the short two days she was here.
Every day, eating is like fighting for food like piglets. Working during the day is tiring and sunny, and at night, we have to quarrel and argue before sleeping.
If this goes on 365 days a year, she will definitely become schizophrenic and age prematurely.
After all the commotion, it was getting late. Everyone was tired after a day's work, and Lin Yiyi fell asleep while thinking about it.
When we were having breakfast the next day, an unexpected person came to the educated youth point, the matchmaker from Zhaojiatun.
"You must be Lin Zhiqing, right? Look how handsome you are, just like the flowers on the branch."
Aunt Zhang knew that Lin Yiyi was a great beauty. Although they had never met each other, she would definitely go right by finding the prettiest one among the educated youths.
Only a few people were left in the Youth League Institute, and only Lin Yiyi ate slowly and was still dawdling.
Lin Yiyi was dazed and sleepy, and just nodded, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Who is this? Does she know him?
Aunt Zhang is famous for her eloquence in the area. She makes a living by her matchmaking skills. She is experienced and has a good eye for people.
This girl is just a waste of flowers stuck in cow dung when paired with Zhao Sheng. Looking at her young age, she is surprisingly pretty. She has seen thousands of girls in her life, if not tens of thousands, but none of them is as pretty as her.
"I'm Aunt Zhang from this village. I'm here to propose marriage to you. Let's not talk about useless things. Let's make it short. I can't delay your work."
"A good marriage is destined by heaven. Didn't Zhao Tiezhu's second son Zhao Sheng rescue you when you fell into the ditch the day before yesterday?
That young man is tall and strong, with a handsome appearance. He is now working in the county town, driving a truck for transportation, earning a salary, and eating commercial grain. He is about the same age as you, and you are a perfect match."
Lin Yiyi completely understood that this was a marriage proposal for her.
She is only 20 years old, oh no, the original owner was 18 years old, and she never thought about getting married so early.
Besides, is this person as good as Aunt Zhang said? Is it her turn?
Even if she didn't have common sense, she knew that having a job in the city in this era was very cool.
There must be something fishy about Lin Yiyi's bet on 100 peanuts!
The situation was chaotic when she first came here. She should have thanked her savior, but she ended up pinching him as if it were a dream.
I feel quite embarrassed.
But does this man have a masochistic tendency, asking someone to come to his house to propose marriage even after being strangled?
"Aunt Zhang, Comrade Zhao Sheng saved me, and I am very grateful to him, but it's not time for us to get married right away, right?
Besides, he has such good conditions, why would it be the turn of an outsider like me? Auntie, you must have said something incomplete. "
This is not a play.
Will you repay your life-saving debt with your own life?
Although I didn't notice his appearance at the time, the man gave people a mature and reliable feeling. People in that period married early, and men and women basically started a family in their early 20s, but this man was actually unmarried.
Aunt Zhang saw that this girl was clever and hard to fool, so she simply didn't hide it from her and smiled flatteringly, "Zhao Sheng married once a few years ago, when he was still a driving apprentice.
The ex-wife was an unlucky woman. She was hit by a car on her way back to her parents' home and died on the spot. After she passed away, Zhao Sheng also became a regular employee. He has a three-and-a-half-year-old son, who is still young and can't remember much. "
The subtext is, marry one and get one free.
Get a free gift pack for being a mother when you join the company.
Lin Yiyi was a little speechless. Why did she want to marry a divorced man?
Why does she want to be a stepmother? She is not a silly girl.
But the breakfast was still a little hot, so I just listened to the morning news while waiting for the porridge to cool down, letting Aunt Zhang talk with her saliva flying.
"If you get together with him, you'll have a golden rice bowl, which is incredible.
Zhao Sheng earned dozens of yuan a month, but farmers working hard in the fields for a whole year could not make as much as he did in a month.
I'm not exaggerating. If you go and ask around, you'll find that there are only three people in the entire Zhaojiatun who are on the government payroll.
Zhao Tiezhu’s family has two of them, Zhao Sheng and his elder brother, and the remaining one is the village party secretary.”
Aunt Zhang didn't interrupt her at this point. She felt that there was hope, so she held Lin Yiyi's hand and continued to persuade her kindly, "Marry a man, you will have clothes to wear and food to eat. Look at your hands, they are as tender as green onions.
How long can you endure the days of wind and sun? Auntie feels sorry for you when she sees you. Although the man is getting married for the second time, you are getting married for the first time, which is not a good name.
But you have to be practical in life, no matter how nice other things sound, they are all empty talk. "
"Besides, if Zhao Sheng wasn't getting married for the second time, with his conditions, he could easily find a working girl in the city.
But people, fate matters. It just so happens that we have this experience of saving people. God has tied the red thread between you, so you can’t push it away.”
Aunt Zhang is still very professional.
He only wanted the thank-you money, so he used all the sweet words to deceive Lin Zhiqing.
“Although you educated youth came from the city, you have settled down here as rural residents, working in the fields like us and relying on the weather for food. Who can really go back to the city?
There are quite a few old educated youth in your educated youth camp, and each of them has been rubbed into a black, thin, and shriveled state.
The right thing to do is to choose the best option in this limited environment while you are still young.
Auntie is an experienced person, you can trust what I say. "
Aunt Zhang praised and criticized, using both reason and emotion to persuade the person.
A lot of words were said.
It does sound reasonable, but I don't know if the content is fake. Matchmakers will definitely choose to say the nicest things.
As for why Zhao's mother wanted Zhao Sheng to marry Lin Zhiqing, the reason was very simple.
I don't want to have another daughter-in-law who is a city worker and looks down on others. She can't act like a mother-in-law in front of the eldest daughter-in-law and has to flatter and please the eldest daughter-in-law.
Lin Zhiqing had no relatives in the countryside and was easy to control, and she sounded better than the second daughter-in-law who only had an elementary school education. Lin Zhiqing graduated from high school.
She hated her second daughter-in-law very much.
If he wants his son to remarry, he naturally has to find someone who can control her so that he can vent his anger.
......
To be honest, Aunt Zhang's words are very touching and true.
Lin Yiyi has never thought about getting married. Dating is okay, but getting married is a bit too much of a step.
What the matchmaker says must be true. From an outsider's perspective, objectively speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
1. No need to work in the fields to earn work points for food.
2. Stay away from the male and female protagonists who act as plot pushers, and stay away from the vicious female supporting roles.
The fact that Zhao Sheng has a child is both his weakness and his advantage.
There won't be any problem inducing childbirth in the short term after marrying him. He is a transport driver and he won't be at home often.
It seemed that God was handing her a ladder. After thinking it over, Lin Yiyi made a decision and prepared to give it a try.
The biggest difference between getting married and dating is having children and a certificate. What if neither of these exists?
Lin Yiyi frowned and looked around at the poor living conditions of the educated youth center.
Thinking of the need to return the grain at the end of the year, it only took her a moment to realize her disadvantageous situation and she no longer refused.
"Aunt Zhang, can I meet him in person first? Regardless of success or failure, he saved my life, and I should thank him in person."
"Okay, okay, I'll make an appointment for you after you get off work this afternoon. As for the betrothal gift and what to buy, you can mention it first, and I can go back and discuss it with them."
This is too fast. They're talking about the bride price before I've even agreed.
