Cai Shaoyun continued, "You can offer advice to your daughter from the perspective of someone who has been through it, but that doesn't mean you can force her to get married. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
She used to think that Zhao Chunyan was generally okay, except that she was a bit sexist and concerned about saving face.
I never expected things to turn out like this.
Zhao Chunyan nodded nonchalantly: "Okay, I understand. I'll go take care of my work now."
She left with a smile, her expression completely indifferent.
Cai Shaoyun said coldly, "Stop!"
Zhao Chunyan turned around impatiently and said, "Is there anything else? I still have to go to work, unlike you who get paid and have a lot of free time."
Why did Cai Shaoyun receive so many more votes than her when they both ran for Women's Director?
She was filled with indignation.
Cai Shaoyun said coldly, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Zhao Chunyan nodded: "I heard it."
The sound was drawn out, clearly indicating a lack of attention.
"Then repeat it to me?" Cai Shaoyun said, arms crossed.
Zhao Chunyan laughed and said, "I'm not deaf. Don't force Xiuxiu to get married. Okay, I agree."
Why should her daughter's marriage be decided by her?
She must marry a city dweller and have a government-subsidized food supply, not these poor bastards in the production team who can't even get enough to eat.
Marrying Wang Jianguo would be so great. With such a high salary every month, you'd never have to worry about food or drink, and your in-laws would be busy taking care of the kids. Being a stepmother wouldn't be hard at all.
After I have my own child, life will definitely get better and better.
Her smile deepened.
Hu Hanxiu stood nervously behind Aunt Cai. Her mother's expression clearly showed that she was up to something.
Cai Shaoyun took Hu Hanxiu's hand and said, "You can come to your aunt for anything in the future. This is my job, so don't worry about bothering me."
"What do you mean? What could possibly happen to my Xiuxiu?" Zhao Chunyan said, somewhat displeased.
Since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers.
How many people who pursue freedom in marriage will have a good outcome?
She didn't want her daughter to chase after a man and lower her social standing.
Cai Shaoyun said coldly, "You know what I mean, don't pretend you don't hear me."
How could you marry a perfectly good girl to a divorced man with a child?
Is being a stepmother easy?
You treat your child with all your heart, but the child might turn out to be ungrateful; you can't hit them or scold them.
What's the point of living like this?
Zhao Chunyan was unhappy and somewhat resentful, but seeing the people crowding around her, she didn't dare to say anything and could only leave in a huff.
As he was leaving, he looked at Cai Shaoyun's daughter standing right next to him and said coldly, "Aren't you going home yet? Is there no work to be done at home?"
Hu Hanxiu whispered, "I'll go back now."
The farce came to an abrupt end.
Yunling hadn't finished her task either. On the way back with Aunt Cai, the two talked about Hu Hanxiu.
Cai Shaoyun sighed, "Xiuxiu was held back by Zhao Chunyan. She only looks at the man's financial situation and never considers his character. As soon as she heard that a divorced man with a child in the county town was well-off, she eagerly wanted her own daughter to marry him. Has she lost her mind?"
She grew angrier the more she thought about it. "I need to keep an eye on things lately, lest Xiuxiu really get ruined by her own mother and her life is ruined."
Yunling was also a little shocked.
He's been married before, is in his thirties, and has two children. With all these factors combined, what mother would want her daughter to marry him?
If a daughter insists on marrying a man like that, most parents would want to break her legs.
Moreover, Hu Hanxiu is a good catch; she's seventeen or eighteen, full of youthful energy, and still a high school student. Why would she marry a man like that?
Even if she couldn't marry a city dweller, she could still find a way to marry into the family of a brigade cadre in the surrounding brigades, and her life would probably be quite good.
It's better than being someone's stepmother.
The matter couldn't be kept secret either; when Qin's family members went home for dinner after work, they discussed it.
Zhang Guihua sneered, "I think Zhao Chunyan's head is full of mush again."
Even Liu Yun, who usually favors sons over daughters, felt that Zhao Chunyan was wrong in this matter.
Being a stepmother is easy, but when the children are young and easily misled, it can be a real headache.
Moreover, they are two boys, and after they grow up, we will have to pay betrothal gifts for them to get married.
What harm could your own child possibly suffer?
That's really brainless.
Zhang Guihua looked at the well-behaved Qin Tiantian beside her. She had initially wanted to marry her daughter off to someone in the city, since her daughter was in poor health and couldn't work in the fields.
But if it's a divorced woman with a child, she definitely wouldn't agree.
How could she bear to let her beautiful, beloved daughter marry such a man, who would then take on two children and be busy with all sorts of things as soon as she married into the family?
The thought of that situation made her feel sorry for him.
She looked at her three sons and said, "Don't just bury yourselves in work all the time. Talk to people more and choose a family with a harmonious atmosphere, where the parents-in-law and sisters-in-law are easy to get along with. Of course, the man's character is also very important."
Qin Tiantian was a little shy, but she still mustered up the courage to make her request, saying, "He can't be ugly either."
She just wanted to marry a good-looking man, so that just looking at him every day would improve her mood.
"Little sister, you can't judge a man by his looks alone. What if he's a gigolo and you have to support him in the future? You'll be in big trouble then!" Qin Hai offered his opinion.
Qin Tiantian: "Don't my three older brothers help me judge my character? I trust you."
All three older brothers married good wives. Although the eldest sister-in-law has some minor flaws, she is really good to her eldest brother.
Even after being married for so many years, the two still sometimes get very close and affectionate.
Qin Shan patted his chest and assured her, "I will definitely choose the right one for my sister."
Zhang Guihua smiled with satisfaction.
After dinner, Qin Chuan went to wash the dishes, and Yun Ling went to the kitchen to help.
Liu Yun's eyes darted around, and he stirred things up, saying, "Mom, look how much my third brother treats his wife. Washing dishes is such an easy job, but he doesn't want his wife to do it."
Zhang Guihua: "I think you've got nothing better to do than eat your fill. Go and gather firewood on the back hill."
Wang Xiuxiu smiled and looked down.
"Mother, it's almost dark." Liu Yun regretted it; she didn't want to go to the back mountain to collect firewood.
Zhang Guihua wasn't a mean-spirited person; it was just that Liu Yun's daughter-in-law always forgot what she had done wrong and would stir up trouble whenever she had nothing better to do.
It's so annoying.
She said, "It's not dark yet, is it? Go on! Don't come back until you've gathered a bundle of firewood."
Seeing his wife being scolded again, Qin Shan sighed and said, "Let's go! I'll go with you."
So the two of them strolled up the mountain.
Yunling, who was in the kitchen, also heard this and was very satisfied with her mother-in-law's actions.
Sometimes she also found Liu Yun, her sister-in-law, annoying.
They're a little cunning, not particularly deep-seated, but they'll seize any opportunity to use this trick.
It's really annoying.
Sometimes she's too lazy to even take care of it.
After cleaning up the kitchen, the family sat down to chat, mainly about the recent gossip in the team, which they could talk about endlessly.
