Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Zhou Bingkun believed this.

In the future video, Zheng Juan demonstrated this ability.

She can take care of not only one person, but also a whole family.

Zheng Juan deserves immense credit for enabling the Zhou family to live such a good life.

There are many cultured and knowledgeable women.

However, women like Zheng Juan, who work hard without complaint and dedicate themselves to their husbands and families, are truly rare.

Zhou Bingkun wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Auntie, I definitely believe what you say! When I get back, I'll discuss it with my mother."

As far as Zhou Bingkun was concerned, just in case, he really wanted to bring Zheng Juan home as soon as possible.

He's only seventeen years old, not old enough to get married yet.

But you can settle down first, and then get married and register your marriage when you reach the legal age.

"Good boy, I believe in you." Zheng's mother looked at Zhou Bingkun with satisfaction.

Zheng Juan didn't know what to say.

She was the one who should be being talked about, but now she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Zhou Bingkun took Zheng Juan and her family of three to Taiping Hutong.

He originally wanted to see it to the door, but Zheng Juan refused, saying she was afraid someone would see it and gossip.

Zhou Bingkun knew that she wasn't afraid of being gossiped about herself, but rather that he would be gossiped about.

This small gesture showed him Zheng Juan's thoughtfulness and kindness.

Zheng Juan didn't have much formal education and wasn't highly educated, but she was actually very smart and knew how to conduct herself appropriately.

When Zhou Bingkun returned home, Li Suhua asked curiously, "Kun'er, why are you so late today?"

"Something delayed me!"

Zhou Bingkun washed his hands in a basin and sat down at the table.

After sitting down, Zhou Bingkun did not start eating immediately. Instead, he took something out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

Then he said to Li Suhua, "Mom, the company paid out wages today."

When Li Suhua saw Zhou Bingkun pull out so much money, she was immediately shocked and took it to count it carefully.

She was illiterate, but she could still recognize money.

After carefully checking everything, Li Suhua looked up at Zhou Bingkun in surprise: "What's going on? Kun'er, how come your salary is so high? Is the salary at the publishing house that high?"

“Publishers don’t pay that much! Mom, my basic salary is twenty-six, and the rest is from the poetry I write, which the publishing house pays me,” Zhou Bingkun explained to Li Suhua with a smile.

Li Suhua was even more surprised: "What? Kun'er, you're not lying to your mother, are you?! You can write poetry? And you can earn so much money?"

The fact that her son was going to work at a publishing house already felt very unreal to Li Suhua.

Hearing that Zhou Bingkun is still writing poetry and making money, it all seems so unreal.

Zhou Bingkun objected: "Mom, you're underestimating me! I'm not bragging, but my current skill level is better than my brother's and sister's combined. You need to change your old ways of thinking. From now on, I'm your most outstanding son, and you should be proud of me!"

Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him: "Just because I praised you a couple of times, you think you're all high and mighty? Kun'er, were you telling the truth just now? Did you really write a poem?"

"So all this time you thought I was joking!" Zhou Bingkun explained patiently. "It's written down, of course it's written down! Look at all this money, if it weren't written down, would we have this much money?"

Li Suhua's eyes lit up: "Then what poem did you write? Read it to Mom."

“I brought back a magazine last time, and my poem is in it. It’s also in the newspaper, let me find it for you!” Zhou Bing returned to his room and took out the magazine and newspaper from under his pillow.

Then he placed them in front of Li Suhua: "Look, this one, and this one, these are all poems I wrote."

“You silly child, I can’t read. Come on, read it to me.” Li Suhua looked at Zhou Bingkun with a hopeful expression.

Zhou Bingkun nodded and read the poems to Li Suhua one by one.

Li Suhua listened very attentively.

After listening, he happily exclaimed, "Great, that's really nice!"

"Mom, can you understand?" Zhou Bingkun looked at his mother with some suspicion.

Li Suhua made a gesture as if to hit Zhou Bingkun: "You brat, are you looking for a beating? I may not understand, but this is my son's writing, and it's good! Well written and well read."

Zhou Bingkun was amused by his mother's words.

He then pushed the money and receipts in front of Li Suhua: "Mom, I'll keep some of this money, you can keep the rest. And these receipts, use them when you have time. Especially the meat receipts, use them all, it's been a long time since we've had meat."

"All you ever think about is eating meat. I was planning to save some for the end of the year so we could buy more meat!"

Zhou Bingkun waved his hand: "No need. The publishing house provides excellent benefits, and they give out meat coupons every month. Besides, my dad and the others aren't coming back this year, so eating during the New Year is the same as eating now."

"Okay, okay, okay, Mom will listen to you. I'll go buy it tomorrow and cook it for you as soon as I get it. After all, this is money you earned."

Zhou Bingkun chuckled: "Hehe, Mom, let's eat together. And these industrial coupons, see if there's anything you need at home, go and buy it too."

"I'll handle these things, so don't worry about it. Just focus on your work and make a good impression on your boss."

Zhou Bingkun nodded: "I know, Mom, you've said that eight hundred times already."

"You child, all you do is talk back."

Perhaps because his father, elder brother, and elder sister were not at home, Zhou Bingkun could clearly sense that Li Suhua's attitude towards him had changed dramatically.

However, Zhou Bingkun didn't say anything.

After dinner, seeing Li Suhua clearing the table, Zhou Bingkun said, "Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Li Suhua asked with some curiosity, "What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

"I've taken a liking to a girl and want to marry her, so I need your help to act as matchmaker."

Upon hearing this, Li Suhua immediately forgot about cleaning up the dishes and looked at Zhou Bingkun in surprise: "Kun'er, you said you've taken a fancy to a girl and want to get married? How old are you?"

"Seventeen, not young anymore!" Zhou Bingkun said calmly. "I didn't say I wanted to get married now, I just wanted to settle things down first."

Li Suhua asked curiously, "Which family's daughter is she? Is it Chunyan from your Aunt Qiao's family?"

In Li Suhua's memory, the girl who had the best relationship with her youngest son was Qiao Chunyan.

“That’s definitely not Chunyan. There’s no way we could be together.” Zhou Bingkun denied it without hesitation.

Li Suhua was a little unhappy: "Why can't it be Chunyan? Mom thinks Chunyan is great. In our Guangzi area, besides your sister, Chunyan is the prettiest. She has a good personality and is very filial. If it's her, Mom really has no objection."

Because she had a good relationship with Aunt Qiao, she knew Qiao Chunyan quite well.

But after saying that, she shook her head: "No, that was before. Kun'er, you work at a publishing house now, and you can even write and publish poetry. You're a cultured person now, you can find someone better. Have you taken a fancy to some girl with good prospects?"

Seeing Li Suhua making wild guesses, Zhou Bingkun felt helpless.

My mom's face changes so quickly!

He just said Qiao Chunyan was nice, but now he feels she's not good enough for him.

It seems that all mothers in the world think their children are the best.

So Zhou Bingkun could only tell Li Suhua the answer: "Mom, the girl I've taken a liking to doesn't come from a well-off family. She lives in Taiping Hutong."

"What?" Li Suhua immediately panicked upon hearing this. "You've taken a fancy to a girl from Taiping Hutong? Don't you know what kind of place that is? What kind of good girls can come from there! Kun'er, don't scare your mother, she can't take it!"

Zhou Bingkun looked at Li Suhua speechlessly: "Mom, how can you call this scaring? Taiping Hutong may not be a good environment, but how much better is our neighborhood?"

Zheng Juan's family wasn't well-off, but she was a good person!

Being a good person can change everything and make you adapt to differences in family background.

Li Suhua looked at Zhou Bingkun and asked, "Who is that girl? Who is she from?"

"Her name is Zheng Juan. Besides her, there is an elderly mother and a young, blind brother in her family."

Li Suhua, who was already dissatisfied, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Zhou Bingkun, have you lost your mind? Of all people, why did you have to choose a woman from a family like this! Are you trying to drive your mother crazy?"

Zhou Bingkun remained calm in the face of Li Suhua's furious reaction.

Because this was within his expectations.

So he calmly said to Li Suhua, "Mom, my criteria for finding a wife are that she is hardworking, kind, and good to me. Why does she have to be someone with good conditions?"

"Although Zheng Juan's family is not well-off, she is very filial. She didn't go to the countryside because she wanted to take care of her mother and younger brother. If she becomes your daughter-in-law, she will definitely take good care of you in the future."

“I’m perfectly fine, why would I need a daughter-in-law to be filial to me?” Li Suhua snorted. “Kun’er, listen to your mother. I’ve been through this before. With our family’s conditions, you could easily find a better job now.”

"If you go to work with Zheng Juan, the burden will be too heavy for you to bear!"

Zhou Bingkun remained unmoved: "Mom, I really like Zheng Juan, and I will marry no one but her in this life! If you want what's best for me, you should agree to my request."

"I can't agree to this because I'm doing this for your own good!" Li Suhua said to Zhou Bingkun earnestly. "You're still young and don't know how hard life is. Mom won't hurt you. If you get together with Zheng Juan, you'll regret it later."

Zhou Bingkun waved his hand and said, "Mom, I'm all grown up now, and I can judge people's character."

"Besides, you didn't interfere with your brother's affairs with Hao Dongmei, or Zhou Rong's affairs with that Feng Huacheng, did you?"

"Why do you have so many requirements just because I want to find a wife?"

Upon hearing this, Li Suhua immediately became angry: "How can that be the same?"

Chapter 63, Catching Frozen Fish and Hunting Wild Ducks! (Seeking first-day subscriptions upon release!)

“How is it different?” Zhou Bingkun decided to have a good talk with his mother. “Hao Dongmei’s family has been defeated now, and in terms of conditions, they are no better than Zheng Juan’s. Not to mention Feng Huacheng, Zhou Rong even gave up her family for him.”

Li Suhua angrily said to Zhou Bingkun, "You brat, are you really trying to make your mother angry to death?"

"Your older brother and Hao Dongmei were already dating before her family's business collapsed. If they break up because her parents' business is ruined, what will others think of our family?"

"As for your sister, she just acted impulsively. Your dad already said he won't forgive her! Do you want to follow her example?"

If Zhou Bingkun hadn't seen the future video, he would have believed his mother's words!

His father won't forgive Zhou Rong?

joke!

In the end, he still went all the way to your province and took the initiative to reconcile with Zhou Rong.

Zhou Bingkun laid his cards on the table: "Mom, you'll only know if Zheng Juan is good or not after you get to know her. Anyway, I'll be honest with you, I'm determined to marry her. If you don't agree, then I'll remain a bachelor for the rest of my life."

He definitely wouldn't use this tactic if he were facing his father.

But this trick will definitely work when dealing with a soft-hearted mother.

"I'll beat you to death, you brat!" Li Suhua slapped Zhou Bingkun's arm without hesitation. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Are you really going to make me die of anger?"

Then she sighed, "This is such a big decision, I can't make it myself, I have to ask your father. So, you write another letter to your father and ask for his opinion. If he has no opinion, then I have no opinion."

"What if he has objections?" Zhou Bingkun felt there was no need to even ask; his father would definitely disagree.

Li Suhua looked at Zhou Bingkun triumphantly and said, "If your dad has any objections, then there's nothing I can do. You'll have to persuade him yourself."

“I think it’s best not to tell him for now. He’s probably already quite angry about my sister’s situation. If he disagrees with my relationship, I’m afraid he might do something drastic!” Zhou Bingkun shook his head.

Li Suhua rolled her eyes at him: "You know your dad won't agree! You're just trying to get my consent first because you think I'm easy to talk to, right?"

"Mom, I'm really not lying to you. If you want to know if someone is good or not, you should get to know them first! When you meet Zheng Juan, you might fall in love with her."

Li Suhua sighed: "Kun'er, Mom didn't know how much you liked her. But you're still young, don't think too much about it. When you meet someone better, you'll forget about her soon."

“Mom, I’m telling you the truth. I’ll say it again: I will marry no one but Zheng Juan in this lifetime!” Zhou Bingkun stood up. “I’m going back to my room now. My novel will be published in a magazine next month, so I need to get to work on it.”

Upon hearing that it was important, Li Suhua's expression instantly changed: "Okay, then go quickly, Mom won't bother you anymore."

While washing the pots and pans, Li Suhua would occasionally glance at her son in the room, lost in thought about what had just happened.

She said she disagreed, but she actually remembered it in her heart.

She was considering whether to go to Taiping Hutong to inquire about this Zheng Juan.

Zhou Bingkun said he was writing, but he was actually asking people in the chat group what he should do to get his family to agree to his relationship with Zheng Juan.

Zhang Chulan: "Bingkun, even your mother doesn't approve of your relationship with Zheng Juan, let alone your father! I think you're right not to write to your father!"

Group admin Xiao Shan: "Given your father's temper and attitude towards you, it will indeed be difficult to get him to agree to your relationship with Zheng Juan!"

Zhou Bingkun: "Yes! But I've already told Zheng Juan that I'll go home and talk to my mom, and then go to her house to propose marriage! If we don't bring it up for a long time, won't she have some thoughts about it?"

Han Li: "Actually, I think you should write a letter to your dad!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Oh? Does Dr. Han have any insightful opinions?"
