Chapter 651 Fortunately, this person doesn't know how to pretend
Zhou Xing's life event was halfway completed, but Zhou Gu's was not taken so seriously.
Marrying off a daughter is different from marrying a wife.
Zhou Guo only asked about the other person's character and didn't care much about his family background.
Her mother's family background is not good. If she had chosen a girl's family background, she would never have been able to marry into the Zhou family, so character is still the most important thing.
The two parties chose a day to meet. The girl was quite good-looking, but it was a pity that she disliked her sister-in-law Zhou Guo before she even got married. Not only that, she also disliked Zhou Su and Li Lai.
Especially Li Lai, a child of the Li family who eats and drinks for free at home, and it shows in his words and deeds.
Li's face turned red on the spot. She didn't even invite them to have dinner and just served tea to send them off.
Seeing her eyes red with anger, Zhou Guo consoled her, "Mom, why are you angry with them? They can only eat meat once a month, so their experience is limited. If you ask me, you should thank them more."
Li glared, "I have to thank him more?"
Zhou Guo said, "Yes, think about it. Fortunately, this girl is not good at pretending. She showed us her true colors before she even entered the house. If she had continued to plot and trip us up after entering the house, our good days would have been over. Our family would have been alienated. She has turned everything upside down. Shouldn't we thank her?"
Li thought so too and said, "I just can't bear it. Look at them, mother and daughter, they said they were here to sell eggs, carrying two eggs, and when they came in, they poked their heads out like thieves. They said insinuations that you don't have to be too nice to your daughters, because you will belong to someone else's family sooner or later, and my daughter-in-law is the one who will take care of me until I'm old. Listen to me, how can I not be angry?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Yes, it is annoying, but that's because my mother is the best mother in the world, the kindest person, so she naturally looks down on such heartless people like them. She was not born into our family, so there's no need to be sad. Why are you so sad for an outsider?"
Li sighed, "I am sad for your elder brother. He is one year older than your sister. People in the village secretly laugh at him, saying that he is an old bachelor and still has no wife at his age."
Zhou Guo laughed, "Why do you care what they say? They are just sour grapes. My eldest brother has good looks and money. Many people in the neighborhood have asked matchmakers to come to their homes. They are just jealous. You should be happy. Why are you angry?"
Mrs. Li finally laughed. "Everything is good in your mouth. You can even say that something dead is alive. Okay, I'll go cook. I was thinking of inviting them to dinner, but it's not worth it. It's better to feed the dog than to feed them. We'll eat by ourselves."
Zhou Guo followed him to the kitchen, where they prepared a lot of things, including chicken, duck, fish, meat and seafood, which were available when the Zhao family came last time, and they had some as well.
"Mom, please prepare a few more dishes tonight. There's one less troublemaker in our family. Isn't such a good thing worth celebrating?"
Li nodded vigorously, "You're right, I wanted to light some firecrackers to celebrate, damn, this is really unlucky."
Start cooking.
Zhou Guo helped to light the fire. Soon, Zhou Xing and Zhou Gu came in, and the family prepared meal together in a lively manner.
Zhou Guo asked Zhou Gu, "Brother, do you like this guy?"
Zhou Gu shook his head, looking unhappy, "This girl is not good. She is pointing fingers at our family before she even gets married. She is not suitable for our family."
Zhou Xing said angrily, "You're right. Matchmaker Wang praised a girl like this to the heavens and on earth. I don't know how she could praise her like that. She was fine before she entered the house, but she became wrong after she entered the house. When the tea, snacks and fruits were served, her eyes were wide open. At least she should have pretended."
Li said, "Don't tell me, I think Guoguo is right. Fortunately, she doesn't know how to pretend, otherwise it would be troublesome when she enters the house."
When the old man and Zhou Mai came back and saw such a large table, they asked happily, "Did today's encounter have a good result?"
Zhou Guo said: "How can there be a good outcome? If there was a good outcome, wouldn't we have eaten all the food? There would be no share for you. We didn't reach an agreement. It's a blunder."
Several people asked what was going on.
Zhou Mi slammed the table and said, "If someone like this comes home, my eldest brother must divorce her, otherwise our family will never have peace."
Zhou Mai smiled and said, "You haven't even entered the door yet, why are you so angry? Here are all these delicious foods, let's celebrate."
The whole family sat down and had a hearty meal.
Although Zhou Guo was disliked, her mood was not affected at all. She was still in the mood to water her strawberries.
Two or three leaves have grown in a month, and they are growing rapidly after applying fertilizer. I don’t know when I can eat them.
Only a few of the seeds sown at the beginning survived.
The cherry and loquat seeds also sprouted, and because of the fertilizer, they grew leaves. After a while, they were moved into flower pots. She bought a lot of flower pots, each costing a few cents, and piled them in the backyard, so that she could grow vegetables, garlic and onions in the winter.
The old man said happily, "It will be moved to the vegetable garden soon. I have reserved some land for it. I will make sure it grows lush and abundant. Then there will be more fruits than you can eat."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, when you have nothing to do for the day, you can come back and guard here. If you move to the vegetable garden, will you guard the vegetable garden?"
The old man said: "That's not impossible."
Zhou Mai came over and looked at the cherry seedlings in the bowl, and said happily: "They are getting bigger and more energetic every day. Who knows, they may really grow up."
Zhou Mi poured cold water on him, "Even if it really grows up, it will take many years for it to grow up and bear fruit. By that time, my eldest brother will have grandchildren. Do you have the nerve to snatch cherries from his grandchildren?"
Zhou Mai: “…”
Old man: “…” Isn’t that a bit presumptuous?
Zhou Guo said, "There are so many. How many can your grandchildren eat? Besides, food is the most important thing for people. Why should we classify delicious food into small and old ones? We can all eat it. If it doesn't work, we can plant a large area and let your sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren each claim one tree. Is that okay?"
Everyone laughed.
……
Zhou Xing and Zhao Yang later met several more times in the name of buying fertilizer and selling duck eggs. They both felt a good relationship and the two families exchanged engagement letters.
Since both parties are not young anymore, they discussed marriage after exchanging engagement letters, and the wedding is scheduled for the beginning of next spring.
At this point, everything has settled and Zhou Xing's lifelong event has been decided.
The whole family was in high spirits, but Zhou Guo felt a little disappointed.
I lay in bed sighing and feeling depressed, and even lost interest in eating.
The old man was puzzled. "What's wrong with her? She was more anxious than anyone else when it wasn't agreed upon. She was busy asking around and now that it's agreed upon, she's not happy."
Li smiled and said, "Sir, don't pay attention to her. She just can't bear to leave her sister. She will be fine in a few days."
