Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 443 The Truth! A Live-in Son-in-Law!
"Mom, that's called polio, not polio..."
Liu Meifen waved her hand: "Whatever you call it, that girl's legs aren't very good."
"Xiao Zhang, who wanted to introduce you to Old Kang's daughter?"
Zhang Quhun said in a muffled voice, "My dad told me, but I suspect it's definitely my sister-in-law who's behind this!"
"Your sister-in-law, Fu Dimo?" Liu Meifen nodded, realizing that was the case.
Everyone in the village knows that Zhang Quhun, the eldest sister-in-law, is a bad person; she always likes to take advantage of others.
She was even worse to her father-in-law Zhang Pianxin and her brother-in-law Zhang Quhun. Whenever there was food, she would only take it all to her own little family and never care about the lives of others.
Zhang Quhun used to be simple-minded and foolish, not knowing how to resist, and just passively accepting his sister-in-law's bullying.
Now he works in the city and has become smarter; he can understand things at home with just a little analysis.
"Your sister-in-law probably has ulterior motives, Xiao Zhang. Let's ignore her. Your aunt will introduce you to a good marriage later."
Zhang Quhun was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "Auntie, what my dad meant was that the Kang family's daughter doesn't want a bride price and even wants to give a lot of dowry. I guess that's why my dad agreed so eagerly."
"Your father is really something, all he cares about is money. Doesn't he realize that you're working in the city now, receiving a food ration and a salary every month? Why would he even care about that little dowry?"
Chang Kun was speechless. In the countryside, the bride's dowry was never much. Had Zhang Pianxin lost his mind? He couldn't even do this simple math!
I've seen people sell their daughters for exorbitant dowries, but I've never seen anyone let their son marry a lame girl just for a small dowry.
If the other party is extremely wealthy, it's somewhat understandable.
Just as Chang Kun and Liu Meifen were completely baffled, Zhang Quhun spoke up, stammering out a sentence.
"Well... you can't entirely blame my dad."
"What happened? What's going on?" Liu Meifen asked anxiously after waiting for a while, seeing that Zhang Quhun still hadn't explained clearly.
"I came here today for this very reason... I... I actually have my eye on another girl."
Oh my!
These words stunned Chang Kun and Liu Meifen!
How could someone as dense as Zhang Quhun fall for a young woman?
Even stones can be enlightened!
"Wait, wait a minute!" Liu Meifen ran into the kitchen, took out a thermos and a porcelain bowl, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
"Xiao Zhang, drink some water first, then eat some sunflower seeds!"
Judging from her setup with tea, melon seeds, and a small stool, she's clearly determined to be a good bystander.
Chang Kun, unable to contain himself any longer, urged Zhang Quhun, "Hurry up and tell me, what's going on! Ququ, you're something else!"
Zhang Quhun smiled shyly.
"That time I was patrolling the next street when I saw a suspicious figure in the distance. I followed him and found out that it was a thug dragging a girl into an alley..."
"And then, and then what, is it that girl you've got your eye on?"
Zhang Quhun nodded shyly.
"Anyway, I saved Xiao Cui, and later she went to the security brigade to thank me. After a while, I..."
"You've already fallen for her? You're even calling her Xiao Cui." Liu Meifen smiled like an aunt, happy to see that Zhang Quhun had finally seen the light.
"Hehe, ma'am, please don't make fun of me!"
"I'm not joking, I'm asking you this: don't just focus on that girl, has she shown any interest in you?"
"A gesture?" Zhang Quhun paused for a moment, then shook his head. "What gesture?"
Liu Meifen said with exasperation, "So you're asking if you can even be my boyfriend?"
"Mother, how can you talk like that? Let me ask!" Chang Kun quickly stopped his mother. Even if the girl had those feelings, she couldn't just say it out loud!
"Cricket, let me ask you, when did you realize you were interested in that girl?"
"Well... after Xiao Cui visited me at the security brigade three times, I started to feel a strange longing for her."
"Three times?" Chang Kun quickly pressed, "How many times did Xiao Cui visit you in total?"
Zhang Quhun counted on his fingers: "One, two, three... six, seven times."
*Slap!* Chang Kun slapped his hand.
"There's no doubt about it, that girl definitely has a thing for you too, otherwise why would she come to see you so many times!"
"Hehe, that's what Captain He said too. He told me to go home and tell my dad to find a matchmaker and ask if we could arrange a marriage. The result... the next day, my dad sent me to arrange a marriage between me and Old Kang's daughter from Sanshui Village!"
At this point, Zhang Quhun's eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
He really couldn't understand why his father was still causing trouble even though he had already gone to work in the city.
Isn't he afraid that he'll abandon him in the future?
"Little Zhang, don't be afraid! Your auntie will help you with this! What kind of mess has your old man's father made!"
Liu Meifen kept popping sunflower seeds into her mouth and pounding her chest loudly.
With her current reputation in the village, she could easily introduce Zhang Quhun to a potential partner. Besides, this young Zhang had already secretly arranged one for himself.
"Cricket, tell me about Xiao Cui's family situation. Getting married isn't that simple; both families need to consider things carefully."
Zhang Quhun rubbed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Captain He told me about this. I asked Xiao Cui about it... Her parents are both alive, and she's their only daughter."
"They only have one daughter. What's going on? Are her parents sick?" Liu Meifen asked.
These days, with the encouragement of having more and better children, most families have at least three or four children. Families like Xiao Cui's, with only one daughter, are extremely rare.
"Xiao Cui said that her mother suffered severe bleeding during childbirth and could not have any more children after that."
"Oh, I see... How is Xiao Cui's mother doing?"
Zhang Quhun nodded firmly: "I asked her, and apart from not being able to have children, Xiao Cui's mother is just like a normal person!"
Chang Kun understood. It was likely that Ququ's cheap mother-in-law had a bad delivery and had her uterus removed.
This will not affect your subsequent life or burden your family.
Thinking of this, Chang Kun's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Did your father ask you where you would live if you married Xiao Cui?"
Zhang Quhun was even more embarrassed, his face turning red: "Xiao Cui's family has three rooms. If we get married, I'll probably live at her house, and I won't have to travel so far to work."
"Oh my, you've even talked about this!" Liu Meifen chuckled, then suddenly realized.
"Hey, Xiao Cui's family only has one daughter. You're getting married and living in her house? Oh dear! Isn't that just like a son-in-law marrying into his wife's family?"
"No wonder your father refused; he needs to find you another marriage quickly!"
Chang Kun shook his head: "Mother, you've misunderstood. The son-in-law who lives with the family is secondary; the main thing is that Ququ will live in the city after she gets married!"
"What's wrong with living in the city?"
Liu Meifen and Zhang Quhun stared at Chang Kun, waiting for his answer.
"If they live in the city, Brother and Sister-in-law Cricket won't get any advantages!"
"Huh? This!"
So that's how it is. Find Zhang Quhun a rural wife and let them live in the countryside. That way, we can keep him tied down and keep sucking his blood!
