"Brother Kun, Xiao Cui and her family wouldn't embezzle the bicycle; they're not that kind of people."

Zhang Quhun shook his big head, speaking up for Xiao Cui.

Chang Kun sneered, "You know that too? You've actually associated with them?"

"Speaking of which, even if they didn't do that, it's still really unfair of you to just deliver the bicycle to their house without even asking!"

"You haven't even met or discussed anything, and you've already sent the betrothal gifts? What do you call that? That's forced marriage!"

"Doing this is putting Xiao Cui's family in a corner. What will they do then?"

"If they don't agree, then their relatives, friends, and neighbors will definitely start to have doubts. They won't even agree to a marriage proposal with a bicycle delivered to their door. Are you, Xiao Cui, some kind of golden phoenix? You can't even accept this kind of dowry?"

"Even if Xiao Cui's parents agree for Xiao Cui's sake, the neighbors will have even more to say."

"They might say Xiao Cui's family sold their daughter! They agreed to the marriage as soon as the bicycle was delivered—isn't that selling their daughter?!"

"Look at where Xiaocui and her parents' faces are now!"

Zhang Quhun was dumbfounded, his face turning red and then pale with embarrassment.

He waved his hand hastily, saying, "Brother Kun, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to get the bicycle so that Xiao Cui's family would agree sooner!"

"Oh!!"

Chang Kun couldn't help but sneer: "Have you ever considered how embarrassing this will be for Xiao Cui's parents?"

"Let's take another example. Take the lame girl from the Kang family. If her family brought two bags of wheat and a cow to your doorstep, wanting you to marry her, would you agree?"

"Whether you agree or not, if this is done, your whole family will become a laughingstock!"

"Think about it carefully. What's the difference between you delivering the bicycle to Xiao Cui's doorstep without any discussion and then telling me that Lao Kang's daughter is lame?"

"Originally, Xiao Cui's family could still hope for a marriage between you two because of your relationship, but after what you've done, they can only wait and see!"

"Brother Kun, I...I was wrong!"

Zhang Quhun hung his head, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"Sigh!" Chang Kun saw his ashamed appearance and didn't say anything more.

This silly brother has no woman in his family to help him, and his father is also incompetent. He still has to help himself with getting married!

"Xiao Zhang, your brother Kun is right, we really can't do this!" Liu Meifen interjected.

"You really didn't even consult Xiao Cui's family before delivering the bicycle to their door. You're really putting their parents in a difficult position. It's infuriating!"

"You need to discuss this with me and Xiao Kun more. Otherwise, you might ruin your relationship with Xiao Cui instead of getting married!"

Zhang Quhun looked up at Liu Meifen and Chang Kun, feeling truly fortunate to have people who were even closer to him than his own father.

"Auntie, I was wrong... What should we do now?"

Liu Meifen pondered for a moment: "How about this, I'll leave work early today and go back to the village to help you resolve the matter of Lao Kang's daughter. This should be easy. Later, I'll inquire about Xiao Cui's family situation for you. As long as you two are determined to be together, we'll always find a way."

"Our Xiao Zhang is doing quite well now. He's a permanent employee in the public security brigade. Countless good girls couldn't find a husband as good as him even with a lantern!"

"By the way, you and Xiao Cui... besides her visiting you at the security brigade, what else did you two do?"

Liu Meifen felt she needed to ask more clearly, fearing that this big, simple-minded guy might misunderstand and make a fool of himself, which would be awkward.

Zhang Quhun blushed and said shyly, "We...we even went to Beihai Park...she even bought me popsicles."

"I've also been to Wangfujing to see monkey shows and street performances..."

"She even said she'd take me to the movies last time, but I refused. The village showed free outdoor movies last year. Buying tickets to watch movies in Wangfujing is such a waste of money!"

"Another time, she insisted on taking me to Donglaishun for hot pot, but I dragged her away. Later, we bought two baked buns from a roadside stall... and I paid for them, hehehe!"

Chang Kun and Liu Meifen: ...

Is this what they mean by "fools are lucky"?

So it seems that Xiao Cui really has her eye on Zhang Quhun, that big, simple-minded guy.

These days, such good girls are really rare. It's so rare to see someone so proactive!

If this were in later generations, a girl who would proactively buy things for a man, treat him to meals, and take him to the movies would be a rare breed.

If you meet a girl like this, she's either a manipulative woman or an absolute gem.

Of course, in this day and age, the probability of encountering a green tea bitch is extremely low.

"Did Xiaocui tell you about her family's attitude?"

Liu Meifen knew that Xiao Cui's feelings for Zhang Quhun were genuine, and now it mainly depended on their respective families.

Zhang Quhun and Xiao Cui both have jobs now, and their income and status are similar.

The main problem is that Xiao Zhang's family doesn't own a house in the city.

It would be a bit difficult to persuade Zhang Pianxin to accept the idea of ​​his youngest son living with his mother-in-law in the city.

At this time, a man's reputation was still taken very seriously.

If this were in later generations, let alone someone like Xiao Cui, who is her age, even if a twenty-year-old were to compete against a woman in her fifties or sixties, many people would say: "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore!"

"Xiao Cui's family," Zhang Quhun paused for a moment, "She knows it's a bit difficult for me to stay at her house, so she hasn't dared to mention it to her parents."

He looked distressed and somewhat at a loss.

Liu Meifen sighed inwardly: "Alright, I'll ask around about this. There are always a lot of relatives and friends in her family. We're not bad off. As long as you're willing to live in the city, this should work out."

She didn't want to ruin Zhang Quhun's marriage, just like her son Chang Kun said.

From now on, it's up to Xiao Zhang and Xiao Cui to live their lives. As long as they are doing well, what do other people's gossip matter?

"Auntie, thank you so much, I..." Zhang Quhun's eyes reddened again.

"If things go well between Xiao Cui and me, I'll have to thank you properly, Auntie."

Liu Meifen smiled so much her eyebrows curved: "Okay, Auntie will definitely do her best."

She was quite motivated to act as a matchmaker for others.

Since working at the supply and marketing cooperative was too leisurely, I figured I should find something to do.

"You two sit down, I'll go get breakfast, eat before you leave."

After hearing about Zhang Quhun and Xiao Cui's story, she hurried to the kitchen to get breakfast.

"Auntie, I have to go now, I have to go to work."

Liu Meifen glared at Zhang Quhun: "You're already at home, why are you still being so polite with me? If you keep being so polite, I won't care about your relationship with Xiao Cui anymore!"

Knowing that Aunt Liu was joking with him, Zhang Quhun scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.

With such an aunt and such a good older brother as Brother Kun, they are simply incomparable to their own father and older brother and sister-in-law.

I'm so lucky!
