Life is neither good nor bad, just as peaceful as water. Living in a cool cave makes the hot summer less unbearable.
That day, Zhang Weifang's uncle Zhang Jiuyi came to her house with a smile on his face, and it was obvious that good news was coming.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm here." His tone was bright and loud. Although he was 28 years old, he still looked like a child.
He is tall, with fair skin, a long face, and is very handsome, often with a nonchalant look on his face.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have the appearance that the villagers like, and he doesn't like working very much, so he has been single all his life.
"Jiuyi, have you eaten? Eat some more." Zhang Qiaona asked him to sit down and took out a cornmeal bun from the cupboard and handed it to him.
Zhang Jiuyi didn't hesitate to eat it and drank a glass of water.
"Jiuyi, what's the matter with you coming here today?" Zhang Jiuyun asked. He seldom came home and wandered around alone every day.
"Brother, is Weifang here? How about I introduce her to someone?"
"You? You're single, so solve your own problems first." Zhang Jiuyun said unhappily. It's not that he was picky, but his younger brother was just not a serious person.
"Brother, please don't worry about my business. To be honest, I have a suitable young man here who I think is perfect for Weifang."
Seeing Zhang Jiuyi's seriousness, Zhang Jiuyun also became serious. He knocked his pipe on the ground and asked:
"Tell me, what are your requirements, young man?"
Zhang Jiuyi began to tell the story. It turned out that the last time he went to the county town, he met a man. The two of them got to know each other through fighting and eventually became friends.
The man's name is Li Hongxi. His hometown is Beiguan Village, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the county seat and is only two miles away from the county seat.
Li Hongxi has four brothers and sisters in his family. He is the second child in the family. He has an older brother, a younger brother and a younger sister.
He works in a meat processing plant, and the person he wants to introduce is his younger brother Li Hongru, who is 22 years old, also a high school graduate, and now works in the propaganda department of a textile factory.
"Jiuyi, how could someone with such good conditions be interested in our impoverished family? Could it be that this guy has some bad problem?"
Zhang Jiuyi became anxious when he heard this, and he quickly explained:
"Brother, what are you saying? How could I find someone bad for Weifang? I also secretly took a look at this young man Li Hongru. He is very handsome and has no problems."
"How come he's 22 and still hasn't found a partner?"
"Brother, I've inquired about this. Li Hongru used to work in the provincial art troupe. He had a girlfriend there, but they broke up for some reason and he returned to work in the county."
After hearing this, Zhang Jiuyun frowned. He had worked in the provincial capital, so he must have seen the world. The people he dated before were probably not ordinary people. How could he be willing to marry someone from the countryside?
Zhang Jiuyun felt that it was inappropriate, but he did not refuse outright. He thought about it and said:
"Then let's meet someone first!"
"Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll take care of it." Zhang Jiuyi said and left happily. He would definitely get this done as soon as possible to make his elder brother and sister-in-law happy.
Zhang Jiuyi has the best relationship with his eldest brother. He was raised by his eldest brother as his son. He has always lived with his eldest brother and his wife until their mother passed away two years ago, and then he moved out to live on his own.
In Beiguan Village, Le'an County, the Li family has been quarreling recently.
The team leader of Beiguan Village is Li Guifang, 50 years old this year. His wife Ma Shulan is 48 years old this year. Both of them are authentic farmers and have three sons and one daughter in total.
The eldest brother, Li Hongdong, is 30 years old. He married Li Gaitang, who is the same age as him and lives in the next village. Both of them work in the village to farm. They have a son and two daughters. Their daughters, Li Dahua, are 11 years old, and Li Xiaohua, are 9 years old. Their son, Li Dabao, is just three months old.
The second son, Li Hongxi, is 28 years old this year. He used to be a gangster in the village. Later, he married a man who worked in a meat processing factory. He also got a temporary job in the meat processing factory with the help of his father-in-law.
The third son, Li Hongru, is only 22 years old. He is an educated person in the family. Not only is he good-looking, but he also has a high level of education. He used to work in the provincial capital. Even though he has returned to the county town now, he is still a decent person that everyone envy.
The youngest girl, Li Hongqin, is 18 years old. She is the eldest in the family. She has been spoiled since she was a child and has high standards, so she has not married yet.
The Li family has been in chaos and quarrels these days.
At the beginning, it was because of the third brother's marriage. He introduced him to several girls, but he didn't like any of them.
Later, his sister-in-law Li Gaitang wanted to introduce her cousin to him, but Li Hongru bluntly said that he wanted to find someone who was educated, which offended his sister-in-law with just one sentence.
Li Gaitang has been keeping a low profile at home in recent years because she only gave birth to two daughters. Now that she has given birth to a son, she immediately gained confidence and soon started arguing with her brother-in-law.
"I knew it. You've always disliked me for not being able to give birth to a son. Now that I have my eldest son, why do you still dislike me?"
"Li Gaitang, don't you know how your family has treated you over the past decade? Besides you, who else has ever disliked Dahua and Xiaohua? If we disliked them, would we let them go to school?"
"Mom, don't think I don't know that you favor the third brother. Why does the third brother look down on our family? Isn't it because he looks down on me, the eldest sister-in-law?"
Li Hongru was very disgusted with these meaningless quarrels. He did not expect that his marriage would cause family conflicts.
Li Hongru shouted with a cold face:
"Stop arguing."
The noise suddenly stopped. Li Hongru's face was still ugly. She looked at Li Gaitang and said word by word:
"Sister-in-law, I have the final say on my marriage. I want to find a cultured man. I hate unreasonable and unreasonable women."
"You, you, Li Hongru, who is the shrew?" Li Gaitang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Brother, take care of your wife yourself. You don't need her to worry about my affairs." Li Hongru said and left.
Ma Shulan was so anxious that she shouted from behind: "Lao San, where are you going?"
"Mom, I'm going to the factory, you go back."
When Ma Shulan returned home, she scolded the eldest son's wife and sent her back to her parents' home.
Li Hongdong's face was not looking good either. He was the eldest child in the family and had been working at home with his parents. He was not as clever as the second child, nor as smart as the third child.
The wife he married couldn't read a single word. The second brother's wife used to work in a meat processing plant, and the third brother also wanted to marry an educated person. It was obvious that they looked down on him, the eldest brother.
Otherwise, the third brother would not have directly rejected his eldest sister-in-law's cousin.
Now Li Gaitang was sent back to his mother's home, and his parents didn't let him go to pick him up. It was obvious that they were not happy with him.
Thinking of this, Li Hongdong felt a little resentful. He had been taking care of the old couple for so many years, but he didn't expect that they were still partial to the third child.
