Old Madam Hu came over to old Madam Zhu with enthusiasm.
However, old Madam Zhu directly dampened her mood: "What? You want to match my family Zhen Zhen to the country boy named Hu Zi? What kind of matchmaking are you doing? In your opinion, my family Zhen Zhen can't marry out or what?"
When old Madam Hu just mentioned it, old Madam Zhu sprinkled cold water. She suddenly became a little displeased.
She came here with kindness. Unexpectedly, old Madam. Zhu didn't give her face. She spoke: "If you are unwilling, then forget it."
"My family Zhen Zhen will never marry. Rural household registration? How can that do?" Old Madam Zhu was angered. Then she continued: "Old Zhou Family asked you to come over?"
Old Madam Hu denied it.
However, Old Madam Zhu had set her mind that it was old Zhou family who requested old Madam Hu to speak on their behalf, "They can really come up with an idea. If it's Zhou Kai, it'll be more like it."
Old Madam Hu went home. She didn't bother to waste any saliva with old Madam Zhu.
Seeing that her face was ugly when she came back, old Mister Hu couldn't help but said: "Now that the two families are relatives, don't keep putting that face."
Old Madam Hu said: "It's not Zhou Family. Old Zhu Family from next door, they really don't want face!"
Speaking with conscience, old Madam Hu was truly optimistic about Hu Zi.
Because this big young man was full of vitality and upright. Although he got a rural household registration, it wasn't a bad thing.
It was because she didn't have a granddaughter herself, she had recommended him to someone who was like a granddaughter to her.
That old Madam Zhu was short-sighted. Did she not think about it? Having such an uncle and aunt who brought him over and were around, he will definitely get advancement in the future.
It was just a household registration. There was no restriction now. Even if one didn’t have a household registration here, they can come here to rent a house. What was the problem?
But when she heard it was Hu Zi, she became unwilling. Because of his rural household registration. What's more, she hadn't killed that thought. With the way Zhu Zhen Zhen was, it would be strange if she could marry Zhou Kai.
"A horse really don't mind having long face!" Old Madam Hu snorted.
For once, old Mister Hu stood on his wife's side, nodding: "This young man is indeed a good man."
"Right?" Old Madam Hu said, "Zhu Zhen Zhen has many sisters in her family and just one younger brother. These girls are not worth anything. Old Zhu's family prioritizes boys over girls. Now there is family planning. Maybe in the future, they'll get a girl too. They haven't disliked her yet and she disliked him."
"Don't say these things." Old Mister Hu waved his hand: "And you don't have to worry about this. I'm feeling embarrassed to go find old Zhou to play chess now."
"What are you doing? Young Jun and Sheng Mei are doing well right now, no?" Old Madam Hu responded.
She felt aggrieved from all the blame she sensed from Mother Zhou.
Originally, she was just purely joining the string. Swear to heaven and earth, she really didn't have any impure thoughts. Who would have thought something like this would have happened?
Although her grand-nephew was indeed wrong, but this kind of matter required two hands to make a slap. If Sheng Mei didn't agree, would her grand-nephew force her? From the beginning to the end, she did not see any grievances from her.
Why should she blame her? Sheng Mei married into her old Zhao family now. Look how wonderful it was. What was so bad?
"They didn't even want to climb high branches at all." Old Mister Hu waved his hand.
"Old Zhou's family is pretending to be noble and virtuous" In response to this, old Madam Hu pouted her lips.
Old Mister Hu said: "Why is it climbing the branches? Old Zhou Family didn't plan to do this. From what I see, that family is kind."
"What do you know? I've seen it all. That granddaughter of old Zhou family named Zhou Er Ni, she got a boyfriend. A capital's local. You can tell he's rich from a glance!" Old Madam Hu snorted.
Old Mister Hu didn't want to talk to her anymore. What did it have to with her when someone was dating? Too nosy.
Because of what happened with old Madam Hu, old MadamZhu told her granddaughter, Zhu Zhen Zhen about it when she came.
"Old Zhou Family sent old Madam Hu to come over as a middle person to match you to their grandson (from their daughter). That's a rural household registration. They can really dream." Old Madam Zhu disdained.
Zhu Zhen Zhen was paused before her face flushed.
Seeing her like this, Old Madam Zhu asked, "What's wrong?"
"I encountered him at the door just now. He kept staring at me." Zhu Zhen Zhen told with a blushing face.
"What did I say. Out of nowhere, they want to send old Madam Hu over to be their matchmaker? Really a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Are you someone he can eye on?" Old Madam Zhu disdained. She hurriedly warned: "These stinky boys know how to coax people. Don’t let him coax you, understand? He got a rural household registration. If you marry him, you will be a countryfolk from now on!"
"I...I understand." Zhu Zhen Zhen nodded. She didn't want to marry a rural guy. So she decided when she meets this guy named Hu Zi, she'll make it clear to him.
She stayed with her grandma for a while. Washed the dishes and clothes. Old Madam Zhu was still rambling on: "Old Zhou Family got really a small belly. They got a washing machine and refuse to lend it. I have never seen someone stingy like this!"
"Grandmother. I'm done washing, I will go back first." Zhu Zhen Zhen said.
"En." Old Madam Zhu waved her hand.
As soon as Zhu Zhen Zhen came out, she saw Hu Zi sweeping the snow at the door. In Zhu Zhen Zhen's eyes, it was him waiting for her as he knew she was here.
Zhu Zhen Zhen's face turned red at once. Especially since Hu Zi looked over.
"Make way." Hu Zi didn't know this girl was a relative of old Zhu Family. He spoke to the person who was in his way of clearing the snow.
"I...I know about your feeling toward me." Zhu Zhen Zhen uttered.
Hu Zi looked at her with a puzzled look. What feeling? He didn't understand?
"I can only say sorry to you. I shouldn't marry and go to the countryside." Zhu Zhen Zhen turned her head away and uttered.
The conditions in her family were also poor. How can she marry someone worse? If Zhou Kai was willing to marry her, then she would be willing.
After all, she heard that his family's conditions were very good and he can help her maternal family in the future.
Hu Zi understood right then. Still, he was dumbfounded. What...what was the situation?
Seeing his expression displayed that he had suffered a blow, Zhu Zhen Zhen felt she was a bit cruel. However, she kept going: "You...don't think about me. I thank you for your feelings toward me but we are really inappropriate together."
Hu Zi was about to say something when Mother Zhou came out and saw this. She hurriedly said: "Huzi, has the snow been swept? After sweeping, come in. I will give you a bowl of chicken soup to drink while it's hot!
"Oh. Okay." Hu Zi took back the words he wanted to say and ignored this confusing person behind him.
Mother Zhou also ignored Zhu Zhen Zhen. This was a silly person.
But after entering the house, she still asked her grandson: "What's the matter? What are you talking about with Zhu Zhen Zhen?"
"I don't know what she's on about." Hu Zi replied. He really didn't understand. He didn't even know her name. How could he have any feelings for her?
