Chapter 7
Lu Dahai said with a smile: “My son, I thought you were going to be single for the rest of your life, but you finally got it.
Come on, come on, tell me whose girl she is, and I’ll arrange for someone to find a match for you with your mother.”
“She is a girl from the Su family in Linjia Village, her name is Su Ying.”
The smiles on the faces of the happy old couple froze, and their expressions instantly became serious, especially Zhao Yulan.
Zhao Yulan didn’t even listen and refused outright.
“No. Son, you are a company commander after all. From what you said, that girl’s parents are just farmers.
The parents are farmers, and the girl is also a farmer. It’s not that her mother is snobbish. Looking for a marriage partner means finding someone who can support you, help you, and accompany you through the ups and downs of life for the rest of your life.
How long have you known each other? Do you know her family well?
As parents, they naturally hope that their children can find someone of equal status and that their whole family will have jobs in the future. Lu Dongsheng is the eldest in the family, so the couple attaches great importance to this marriage.
Lu Dahai hadn’t expressed his thoughts yet, but Zhao Yulan was the first to disagree.
Lu Xiaofang also said, “That’s right, big brother, what do you want? Is she very pretty, or is she good at work? If you really get married, can she help me wash clothes?”
Lu Dongsheng frowned and stared at Lu Xiaofang with cold eyes: “Watch your tone. When we get married in the future, she will be your sister-in-law. She may not be older than you. Do you have no hands or feet? Do you want her to wash your clothes?
You are going to be someone’s daughter-in-law in the future, and your husband’s sister-in-law is plotting against you before you even get married. Do you think you will feel good about it?”
Lu Xiaofang yelled angrily: “If he dares, I won’t marry him at worst.”
When she realized that her brother was teaching her a lesson, she blushed, put her chopsticks on the bowl, and stomped her feet in displeasure.
“Mom, look, my eldest brother’s wife hasn’t even entered the house yet, but they’ve already started protecting her.
Anyway, I don’t care. I don’t want a bumpkin to be my sister-in-law.”
Lu Dongsheng saw that his sister was becoming more and more impolite, and he thought that she was spoiled by her parents.
“Be careful with your choice of words. How can you judge a person’s goodness or badness by his or her background?
Although you were born in a working-class family, your quality is not that high now.
“You’ve only been working for a few years, but you’re already calling me a country bumpkin. Where’s your upbringing? Have you been eaten by a dog?”
Lu Dongsheng really meant what he said, and he still had the same bad temper as before. He would argue with people at home and in the army, and no one had ever been able to defeat him.
How could her elder brother say that to her? Lu Xiaofang felt that her self-esteem was severely insulted and her face turned red and her neck became thick instantly.
Is this still my good brother?
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel, Lu Wentao was afraid that he would not be able to eat the meal, so he quickly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.
He muttered quietly, “I think it’s fine as long as Big Brother likes it.”
Just kidding, Big Brother is his idol. He dreams of being like Big Brother. He also wants to join the army after graduating from high school.
Lu Xiaofang’s bloodline suppression came: “What did you say?”
Everyone was having a happy dinner tonight, but when Lu Dahai saw that they were about to quarrel, he raised his hand and slapped the table, and the atmosphere instantly became quiet.
Lu Dahai said: “No matter what, it’s a good thing for your elder brother to get married. Xiaofang, put away your rhetoric. Whose ancestors were not farmers? How capable are you to look down on farmers?
Your grandparents were farmers when they were alive.”
After the scolding, a trace of guilt flashed across Zhao Yulan’s face.
It’s not that she looked down on farmers, but she was mainly worried that her eldest son would marry a woman without a family background and would have to support the girl’s family in the future.
If you have the ability, it’s okay, but if you don’t, it’s like you’ve encountered a group of vampires.
Zhao Yulan said with a sad face: “Old Lu, you know, what I just said is not what the children understood.”
“Okay, I know that we both care about our children, but marriage is something that the children have to decide for themselves. After all, even if life is a little harder and more tiring if they find someone they like, it won’t be that tiring if two people share the burden.
Dongsheng, you have to think about this matter carefully. After all, you chose this person yourself, and you will bear the consequences of how your life will be in the future.”
“Mom and Dad, I know you are doing this for my own good. There is no point in us talking so much here. I want to marry her, but the girl may not want to marry me.
So I thought, I should find a matchmaker to go and ask first.”
Lu Dahai was a little worried, but he knew the boy’s temper, so after thinking about it, he decided to find a matchmaker first.
Lu Dahai said, “Since you said so, I will discuss it with your mother and find a matchmaker to come to your house and propose marriage in the next few days.”
Lu Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief: “Thank you, Dad.”
Zhao Yulan was filled with worry and anxiety. What should she do? Her son was a handsome man, a well-built man, and a company commander. Now he was marrying a country girl. It sounded like they were not on the same level. How could they live a good life in the future?
I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to express myself, after all, I was young and full of energy and didn’t understand anything.
Just wait and see, if this really happens, it will be her son who will suffer in the future.
Zhao Yulan secretly glanced at Lu Dahai several times, but Lu Dahai did not react.
What Lao Lu hates most is yelling at the dinner table.
Lu Xiaofang was still pouting in anger, looking at Lu Dongsheng with a resentful look on her face.
Humph, if I had known that big brother would start to be mean to me when he came back, I would rather he hadn’t come back.
This woman is so despicable. Before she even entered the door, she took away the care of the eldest brother.
The eldest brother really values women over his younger sister. If the two of them really get together, wouldn’t she, as the younger sister, have no status at all in the family?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofang snorted coldly again. Zhao Yulan was afraid that she would disrupt the meal, so she glared at her warningly. Only then did Lu Xiaofang eat reluctantly.
After dinner, Lu Xiaofang came to the door of Lu Wentao’s room, tiptoed to push the door open a crack, stuck her head in to see that her brother was not there, and then carefully entered Lu Wentao’s room.
“Wentao, do you really want Big Brother to marry that woman and bring her home?”
Lu Wentao, who was writing a love letter to the girl, was startled for a moment. He quickly lay down on the table with the letter pressed against his chest.
“Second sister, why didn’t you knock when you came in? Big brother is right, you are really going too far. Why are your footsteps silent?”
When Lu Xiaofang saw that he had something hidden in his arms, she reached out to grab it. Lu Wentao quickly stood up and hid the letter behind his butt.
Seeing that she couldn’t snatch it away, Lu Xiaofang snorted and crossed her arms, looking arrogant.
“Let me ask you, do you really want your eldest brother to marry a country bumpkin?”
“Second sister, you know what kind of temper Big Brother has. I advise you not to interfere in his affairs.”
“Humph, you are useless. Just wait and see. I will never admit that she is my sister-in-law.
In my heart, only Sister Miaomiao is worthy of being my sister-in-law.”
After leaving these words, Lu Xiaofang clasped her hands behind her buttocks and left humming “The Waves of Honghu Lake”.
In Linjia Village, Tian Cuifen took a chipped coarse porcelain bowl, added medicinal powder into it, scooped on brown sugar and boiled eggs, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her dark eyes.
