Chapter 180 Do you need a wife?
Facing Erhe's surprised gaze, Zou Zhou seemed very calm and pursed his lips bitterly.
"I know my mother's temper. Once she makes up her mind, she won't change it. I just heard her talking to my sister about changing jobs. Now it seems that this is most likely done through the Xiang family's connections. They want to trade me for my sister's future. I won't let them do what they want."
At this point, Erhe had already confirmed Zou Zhou's thoughts.
Zou Zhou didn't say anything more, "Brother He, please tell me."
He Zheng knew that he was still asking about Li Dong's situation.
"He is just an ordinary country boy. You know his family situation. His parents died early and he has a younger sister. His family conditions are not that good, but both brother and sister are nice people." As he spoke, He Zheng realized something. Why did these words sound so much like introducing a date?
Realizing something, his eyes trembled, and his first reaction was to look at Erhe.
Erhe nodded silently. "Although I've been back in Kushui Village for less than a year, Li Dong and Li Xi are indeed good people. It's just that Li Dong hasn't received much education, and like many workers in the city, he has a stable job. Zou Zhou and the Xiang family aren't a good match, but I don't want you to be impulsive."
How can you act on impulse when it comes to matters of a lifetime?
Zou Zhou knew that her friend understood what she meant and smiled.
She knew she was impulsive, but Li Dong was not completely useless.
He had an argument with his cousin that morning and was initially unwilling to give in, but later gave in because he was afraid of implicating her.
Besides, even though my cousin has left, she will definitely complain to my parents, and there will be a lot of trouble.
so……
"Let's go to Kushui Village."
It takes more than an hour to ride back to the village.
Erhe felt the need to say something more, "Zou Zhou, things haven't come to this."
Just find a way to turn down the Xiang family marriage proposal. There's no need to take this step.
"Erhe, you don't understand my mother. Some parents are really partial. Even though they are their biological children, sometimes they just don't like their children. There have been too many such things since I was a child. Even if I turned down the Xiang family's marriage this time, the Zhao family and the Sun family will pop up next time. The result will be the same. After this time, she might be wary of me, not letting me know the news in advance, and sending me directly to someone else's house. Don't doubt it, I know my mother, she really can do such a thing."
Besides.
Erhe helped her so much, she couldn't really stay in the He family, otherwise she would cause a lot of trouble to the He family.
If we talk about panic, how could Zou Zhou not be panicked?
She has never been a strong-willed girl. She has a gentle personality and hopes to live a quiet life under the protection of her parents.
But reality doesn't allow her to do that.
Then she could only take a gamble.
If, if I lose the bet...
Zou Zhou didn't dare to think about it. The wind blew her hair, and her nails dug into her palms, leaving bloody marks.
Erhe knew that there was no point in trying to persuade her any further.
She tried hard to remember some plot or something, but she hadn't remembered any useful information for a long time.
Sometimes I even wonder if a lot has changed because of her arrival.
As for Li Dong's ending, she was not even sure about He Zheng's outcome, so how could she guess what would happen to Li Dong?
She could take Zou Zhou in, but this would also cause psychological pressure on Zou Zhou. Besides, the Zou family would also have something to say. If an unmarried girl lived in someone else's home for a long time, and the Zou family came to ask for her back, what reason would they have to keep her?
They were about to arrive at Ku Shui Village, but Erhe was still a little hesitant.
"Zou Zhou, I'll ask He Zheng to talk to Li Dong. Even if it's necessary, there's no rush."
"Need not."
Zou Zhou made up his mind. When the bicycle passed by the gate of Li's family, Zou Zhou looked at the three old houses of Li's family and asked Erhe to stop the bicycle.
He Zheng followed the two of them. When he saw their bicycles stopped, he also stopped. Zou Zhou came over and took the luggage bag from the rack at the back.
"Sister Erhe, Brother He? Why are you here?"
Li Xi heard the noise and came out of the house. She saw Zou Zhou who was blocked from view and called out, "Sister Zou Zhou."
Zou Zhou nodded, then said to Erhe, "Okay, don't worry. You guys can go back first. I've made you run around with me all day today. You must have worked hard. I want to do this myself. If I get rejected, it won't be so embarrassing."
"Are you sure?"
Zou Zhou nodded vigorously again.
"Okay, then I'll go home and cook dinner. No matter what the result is, you can come to my house for dinner."
"good."
He Zheng would not say anything about his wife's best friend's affairs. Besides, he was keeping an eye on Li Dong. If that brat Li Dong dared...
He broke his legs!
The two of them rode away on their bicycles.
Li Xi was also surprised to see Zou Zhou standing at the gate of her yard, still holding a canvas bag. "Sister Zou Zhou? Aren't you going to Sister Erhe's house?"
What was he doing at her doorstep?
Zou Zhou clenched the bag tightly. She felt like she had gathered all her courage from the past nineteen years into this moment. She looked at the skinny Li Xi and asked, "Is your brother home?"
"He is working in the fields. Are you looking for him?" Strange, what does Sister Zou Zhou want to see her brother about?
"Yes, I need to talk to him about something. Can you go and ask him to go home? I'll be waiting at the door."
"OK."
Although he felt it was strange, Li Xi quickly agreed. It was not only because Zou Zhou was Sister Erhe's good friend, but also because Zou Yan came to scold her brother in the morning, and Zou Zhou spoke up for her brother. She was a very kind-hearted girl.
Li Xi ran very fast. Li Dong didn't understand what was going on, so he let his sister drag him home, saying that Sister Zou Zhou was waiting for him.
In Li Dong's imagination, Zou Zhou must be with Brother Zheng and sister-in-law. Maybe he had something to talk to him about. He never expected to see Zou Zhou alone when he ran back home. Zou Zhou was not tall and had a well-proportioned figure. He stood sideways at the door, staring at the Li family's house, holding an army green cloth bag in his hand.
Li Dong didn't see Brother Zheng and Sister-in-law, which made him feel strange. He ran all the way to the door of the house and slowed down his pace until he stopped.
"Comrade Zou, my sister said you have something to talk to me about?"
The young girl turned her head, her skin was pale and her lips were light in color. Her eyes fell on Li Dong's face, as if she was thinking about something, and her eyes were particularly compelling.
Somehow, Li Dong felt this was strange and nervous.
The fingertips hanging at his side shrank, "W-what happened?"
"Li Dong, do you need a wife?"
What is the problem?
Li Dong didn't understand. Wasn't this obvious? Everyone knew that he didn't have a wife.
“It seems there is no shortage?”
Li Dong, who didn't know how to answer, suddenly said this.
Zou Zhou was stunned. Wasn’t her meaning obvious enough?
That is definitely not obvious enough. Li Dong knows himself well. A country girl like him is picky about him. Zou Yan even wants him to marry into her family. Zou Zhou is a city girl. Even if he has the courage of a bear and a leopard, he dare not have such unrealistic dreams.
Zou Zhou bit his lip and stamped his feet anxiously. Somehow, his cheeks turned red. "You, I mean, I want to marry you. Will you marry me?"
Li Dong just thought she was joking, "Comrade Zou, please don't make fun of me! I don't deserve it, I really don't deserve it!"
