Chapter 175 What are you preparing for?
Zheng Xinyue asked her mother, she wanted to know what kind of wife she wanted to find for her third brother.
"Xinyue, you must have high ambitions in life. Even though your third brother is a farmer now, he is going to work in the No. 1 Grain Depot soon! If you have a job and a salary, you will be registered in the city and find a wife in the city. Children who have a household registration do not have a rural household registration. Do you know how important a household registration is? If you have a household registration, you will have food and at least you will not go hungry."
Gao Guilan clasped her fingers and said to the girl. Zheng Xinyue's heart gradually sank. After saying this, does mom not agree with Sister Li and Third Brother?
Zheng Xinyue instantly grimaced and looked at her mother listlessly. She regretted that she had spoken nonsense at that time and gave Sister Sili hope but could not give her any results. She would not be able to see her in the future.
"but."
Zheng Xinyue was thinking wildly, but Gao Guilan suddenly changed the subject. Zheng Xinyue immediately sat up straight and looked at her mother expectantly. Is there any room for relaxation?
“City people look down on rural people. Mom doesn’t want to marry a daughter-in-law with her tail raised to the sky. The wife your third brother marries must treat you well. That girl Sili treats you well and is qualified to join our Zheng family.”
Gao Guilan looked at her daughter with a smile and finished her words in one breath.
"mom."
Zheng Xinyue didn’t expect that her mother would even consider her third brother’s wife to be good to her? Instead of being nice to her, he called out "Mom" in emotion, leaned on Gao Guilan's shoulder and acted coquettishly with red eyes:
"It's so kind of you."
"If Mom is not kind to you, who is kind to you? Is it possible that she loves those people with foreign surnames who have not escaped from my belly?"
Gao Guilan patted her daughter's face lovingly and coaxed her with a soft voice.
Zheng Xinyue blinked. She thought it was wrong when her mother said this before, but now she thinks it's okay. Could it be that she was brainwashed by her mother?
She shook her head and shook her head away. The matter was not over yet! Her mother only said she agreed with Chen Sili to be her third sister-in-law, but did not mention when she would propose marriage.
“Then shall our family find a matchmaker to propose marriage?”
She asked her mother tentatively.
"What kind of matchmaker should I use? If I find someone to be a matchmaker, I have to give her ten eggs. I'll just go to your Aunt Chen and ask for it."
Gao Guilan's eyes widened, and he couldn't do anything if he suffered a loss.
“Huh? Aunt Chen, will you think our family is not sincere?”
Zheng Xinyue didn’t expect her mother to be reluctant to part with even ten eggs, so she asked her mother with a sad face.
In rural areas, this is still very important. Not having a matchmaker will be considered as not paying attention to the daughter.
"Then take your dad with you, will it be enough to give her family face?"
Gao Guilan thought for a while and took the old man out directly. In her eyes, her relationship with Zheng Dakui would be enough to give face to her future in-laws.
“Mom, do you need to give an engagement gift when proposing marriage?”
Zheng Xinyue looked at her mother curiously and was mentally prepared. As her mother was so stingy, she probably didn't even get a penny in gift money.
“You reminded me of this. I need to be prepared. Your Uncle Chen has a good relationship with your dad. You can’t let your dad lose face. What should you prepare?”
Gao Guilan frowned and thought hard, Zheng Xinyue finally felt at ease.
At night, when the Zheng family came home from work, Gao Guilan directly ordered her eldest daughter-in-law to cook:
“The eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and cook. The second daughter-in-law will measure your little sister’s measurements and make the clothes ready within three days.”
Li Xiuqin looked at Gao Guilan aggrievedly. After staying in the fields for a day, a layer of her skin was peeled off by the sun. She was not even allowed to drink water when she got home. She felt more balanced when Li Xiuli cooked with her every day, but she was the only one who felt uncomfortable. .
“What are you looking at? Do you still want me to cook and serve you?”
Gao Guilan's eyes widened and he started to curse. Li Xiuqin was so frightened that she didn't dare to say a word, so she washed her hands and ran to the kitchen in despair.
“Sister-in-law, brother, are you at home?”
