Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Zhang Pianxin's eyes lit up again.

Just as Liu Meifen said, Xiao Cui was the only son in her family, and she had no other relatives or friends.

After marriage, she would benefit from the marriage to some extent, so she wasn't worried about her youngest son spending all the money and food!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grin foolishly.

In the future, not only will my son be outstanding, but my in-laws will be outstanding too. That's wonderful!

Although it has a bad reputation, it's worth it if you can get real benefits.

He hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Sister, what you're saying is all for Qu Hun's own good. I'm afraid that if he stays at his wife's house after getting married, people will talk badly about him."

"Since he's so determined to be with that Xiao Cui, I, as his father, can't very well stop him..."

"Let him be!"

As he spoke, he pretended to let out a long sigh, then slowly squatted down and took out a pipe.

Seeing his behavior, Liu Meifen couldn't help but sneer, "Brother Zhang, if you really can't accept the condition that Xiao Zhang will live at his wife's house, then this marriage is off."

"Anyway, for girls who own a house in the city, finding a good young man is too easy."

She couldn't stand it. Zhang Pianxin only relented and said that Qu Hun and Xiao Cui should handle it themselves after hearing that he could continue to take advantage of his youngest son and even further take advantage of his in-laws.

That face is truly disgusting.

Neither she nor Zhang Pianxin expected that although Xiao Cui's family of three all had jobs and a house, after marrying Zhang Quhun, there would be four of them receiving food rations.

But even now, this food ration would barely be enough. What if their family had another baby? At that time, Xiao Cui couldn't go to work, so it would be three people feeding five people.

Especially for a baby, there will be more things to use, and if the whole family wants to live a better life, the salaries of just three people may not be enough.

Where would they find the resources to help Zhang Pianxin?

The situation has become even more difficult in the past two years, with countless people fleeing famine. Even in the rural areas surrounding Beijing, going hungry has become the norm.

The best Zhang Quhun could do was keep his father from starving to death; as for wanting him to eat even better, that was simply unrealistic.

Upon hearing Liu Meifen say that it was alright, Zhang Pianxin was shocked and immediately stood up from the ground, waving his hands frantically.

"Oh dear! Sister, Qu Hun is such a stubborn boy. Once he's made up his mind, I can't persuade him otherwise. How about we arrange a marriage between our families and Xiao Cui's family? That would be in line with Qu Hun's wishes."

Hmph, they were against letting their youngest son get married in the city before, but now that they see there's something to gain, they've immediately changed their minds.

Zhang Pianxin is such a terrible father! What a waste of such a good child as Qu Hun!

Qu Hun saved Xiao Qing, Xiu'er, and Cheng Min last time, and he has always remembered it.

At this point, we'll help him with the marriage as a way of repaying him.

Otherwise, who would care about Zhang Pianxin's family affairs?

Even if the marriage goes well, you might not gain anything, and you might even be blamed later.

Even if he complains, it doesn't matter. As long as Xiao Zhang is doing well, Zhang Pianxin, that old man, will let him be!

"Alright then, Brother Zhang, it's settled then. I'll look into the marriage between Xiao Zhang and Xiao Cui. You won't back out, will you?"

"No regrets, absolutely no regrets!" Zhang Pianxin hurriedly shook his head, his eyes shining, as if he could see his youngest son and his wife bringing big fish and meat back to the village to see him.

This kind of life gives me so much hope!

Upon receiving Zhang Pianxin's affirmative answer, Liu Meifen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as this old man doesn't interfere, judging from what Xiao Zhang said, his relationship with Xiao Cui is pretty much confirmed.

If we just ask Xiaocui's family what they think, the matter will be settled.

I imagine Xiao Cui's family wouldn't have too many thoughts about it. They only have one daughter, Xiao Cui, and having a son-in-law live with them is not much different from having a son-in-law live with them.

This kind of marriage is consensual and satisfies both sides.

That's really good.

Today, upon returning to the village, having successfully completed her business, Liu Meifen didn't waste any more words with Zhang Pianxin, and simply bid him farewell and turned to leave.

Although she felt that Xiao Cui's family didn't have any major problems, she still needed to be prepared and not let them find fault with her husband.

The bicycle that Qu Hun prepared will come in handy later.

As long as Xiao Cui's family agrees, parking the bicycle in front of their door will make both the man and woman look very prestigious.

This way, there will be far fewer people gossiping about sons-in-law who marry into the family.

……

While Liu Meifen was feeling quite pleased with herself, Chang Kun and Hou Jun were feeling rather depressed.

They received their assignment in the morning and made their way to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

I was questioned for quite a while by the gatekeeper at the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Brigade before being allowed to enter.

This annoyed Hou Jun. He grumbled and complained that he had invited the two of them over, and not only was no one there to pick them up, but they were also questioned for so long at the door.

After asking several people along the way, I finally found the Criminal Investigation Division office.

It was empty inside, except for an aunt in her forties or fifties sitting there drinking tea.

"Oh, you've been assigned to participate in the case analysis? Please go to the reception room and wait. The captain is in an analysis meeting; he'll call you when he's free."

Chang Kun and Hou Jun looked at each other, wondering what was going on. They had asked them to come and help, so why were they acting this way?

Will you contact us again when you have time?

Hou Jun glared, wanting to make a scene, but Chang Kun grabbed his arm.

We don't know what's going on yet. As the saying goes, it's easier to deal with the King of Hell than with his minions. Maybe this aunt in her forties or fifties is going through menopause and is in a bad mood, making fun of the two of them.

"Auntie, we're here to help solve the case. Why don't you take us to the analysis meeting so we can hear what the case is all about?"

The old woman turned and gave Chang Kun a disdainful look: "The captain told you to wait, why are you disobeying orders so soon after you arrived! The young comrades coming down here have no manners!"

After saying that, she muttered to herself, "Who should I call 'auntie'? She's so young, calling her 'sister' would be more appropriate."

Hou Jun gritted his teeth in annoyance and snorted coldly, "Fine, we'll wait in the reception room. Thank you, Auntie!!"

He called out "Auntie" very loudly, then turned and left, making the old woman so angry that her face turned blue, and she cursed Hou Jun behind his back.

The two walked out of the office, Hou Jun looking annoyed: "Tch, what a stupid thing to do! They invited us here and then left us hanging!"

"Brother Monkey, don't be in such a hurry. I think there's something fishy about this."

"Junior brother, what do you mean?"

The two found the reception room and sat down. Chang Kun stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

"Before I came here, the section chief told me that Captain Li, the brigade leader here, is a very arrogant person. He would never do something like asking us lower-level departments for help."

"His superiors must have been asked to solve the case within a time limit, which is why they requested transfers from other departments. Captain Li was dissatisfied and wanted to leave us aside to solve the case on his own and demonstrate his abilities."

"Wow, junior brother's amazing!" Hou Jun clapped exaggeratedly. "You've only been here a short time and haven't even investigated the case yet, but you've already figured out this Captain Li's mind. Impressive!"

Chang Kun smiled faintly; he wasn't a petty person.

If Captain Li is capable and can solve cases quickly and accurately, he will also admire him.

But if he's just petty and afraid of others stealing his thunder, then I'm sorry.

For Chang Kun, who has a systematic approach, solving cases is indeed simple and enjoyable.
