Regardless of money and family background, Zhou Siming really likes Ning Ning. He has thought about their future and the name of their child...
"I'm scared..." Zhou Siming murmured. For the first time, such a confused and uneasy look appeared on his usually silly face.
At this time Mingyue suddenly said: "If you are afraid, then go for it, go change yourself. First, explain the cause and effect to Ning Ning, and then try your best to win her father's favor. You won't regret it if you try hard. You have to do something, right?"
Mingyue tilted her head as she spoke: "People's perceptions can change. Just because her father doesn't like you now doesn't mean he won't like you in the future."
If Zhou Siming doesn't fight for anything and doesn't make any changes, then Ning's father will be disappointed with his daughter's vision.
What's more, who knows whether Ning's father's actions were just a test
Even if it was not a test, as long as Zhou Siming climbed to the same level as Ning's father, he would be able to make Ning's father change his previous subjective assumptions.
After all, Zhou Siming's status is still too low.
After hearing what his younger sister said, Zhou Siming's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment. Yes, he shouldn't be so depressed all the time, he should fight for it.
Seeing this, Liu Hui glared at Lao Si and said unhappily, "You are really old. Even your little sister is smarter than you."
"Go find out how much the fan costs later, and either buy her a gift or return the money. No matter what, you can't take such a valuable thing from a girl for free." Liu Hui was still angry as she thought about it. She slapped her fourth son on the chest and said angrily, "You knew her father thought you were greedy for her family's money, but you still had the nerve to reach out and take her fan. Why did I give birth to such a stupid thing like you?"
Zhou Siming's mood changed from gloomy to cheerful quickly, but after thinking it through, he was no longer gloomy.
Seeing his mother was angry, he scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I didn't think too much at the time, I just thought Ning Ning's smile was really beautiful. If I refused, she would definitely not smile."
Liu Hui covered her forehead, speechless. What would her silly son do if he and Ning Ning didn't work out in the end
Mingyue chuckled. If Father Ning wanted a son-in-law who was genuinely good to Ning Ning, then he would see the shining points in Zhou Siming. If he was not, then she, as his younger sister, should work harder.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhou called them out to eat. The three of them didn't say anything more, and they calmed themselves down and went out to eat.
It was not until after ten o'clock in the evening that Old Man Zhou, Old Brother Zhou Da and Old Brother Zhou Er finally returned.
There are not many entertainment activities in the countryside. Mingyue and Liuhui have already gone to bed, but the room is still too hot. Both of them couldn't fall asleep and chatted about Zhou Siming for a while.
The main thing is that Liu Hui is worried that in the end the thing won't work out, what will Zhou Siming do? Even though she usually seems not to care much about this silly son, the fourth child is also a piece of her flesh and blood, how could she not love him
"You saw it today too. When your fourth brother mentioned that girl, his eyes were shining. If this really didn't work out, your fourth brother would never have a good life." Liu Hui was worried, as worried as the weather, and she was so angry!
Mingyue could only comfort her: "Didn't you also hear from Fourth Brother that the girl also likes him? Fourth Brother is not being overly enthusiastic about this matter. It's the two of them who are working hard together. Don't worry about it!"
"Ah, it's also our family's fault that we're poor," Liu Hui sighed, and before Mingyue could persuade her again, she spoke more confidently: "But our family is three generations of poor peasants, and we have a good background! And your eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law are all easy to get along with and have good personalities. Your father and I have never been harsh on our daughters-in-law. People outside say that when a girl marries into our family, she is coming in to enjoy a good life. Our family is not bad, right?" Mingyue could see now that she was not trying to comfort herself, she just wanted to talk.
Mingyue didn't say anything, she just blinked her eyes and fell asleep.
It was not until the next morning that Mingyue found out that Old Man Zhou and his friends had come back and left again. Even the third and fourth Zhou brothers had gone to Third Grandma's house to help.
These days, if a close relative or neighbor dies, everyone will go to help, because nowadays everyone prepares their own banquets and family feasts, and everything from buying, washing, and cutting vegetables to cooking and serving them, including clearing the table and washing dishes, all depends on the help of relatives, friends, and villagers.
However, because Mrs. Zhou Dasao and Mrs. Zhou Ersao were both pregnant, and their bellies were quite big, they were afraid of bumping into unclean things, so they did not go. Even Mingyue and Liu Hui stayed in the house to look after them. Now there were two more Mrs. Zhou Zhousao and Baoer.
The daughters-in-law of the Zhou family all have good personalities and are easy to get along with.
Even though everyone was not very familiar with Meng Zhen before, they became familiar with each other after chatting for a while.
Mingyue took the opportunity to ask Meng Zhen about the current situation in the city. She was surprised to learn that street stalls were now allowed in the city, and there were many small individual shops on the streets. It seemed that the province's reform and opening up would come earlier than Mingyue had expected.
"Then, Third Sister-in-law, do you have any houses for rent? A single room or a studio where one person can live will do." Mingyue asked again.
Mrs. Zhou didn't understand Mingyue's meaning and asked, "Mingyue, do you know who is going to the city?"
It is also troublesome to go to the city these days. You need to ask the team leader to issue a letter of introduction and get the signature of the village chief.
Mingyue shook her head, but did not hide it from them: "I want to go to the city to do some small business. Didn't you and Second Sister-in-law always say that the food I cook is delicious? I thought about going to the city to sell these snacks to make some money."
Mrs. Zhou was stunned. She had never thought that a woman could go to the city to do business! To be honest, she had never been to the city even once in her life! For her, the city was a place that was out of reach.
Zhou Ersao, who was standing next to her, was stunned for a moment, but she frowned and said, "Mingyue, tell me, is there anyone outside gossiping about you again? We are living a good life, why do you want to earn that hard-earned money when you just stay at home?"
Mingyue shook her head: "I just want to change my way of life. I want to go to the city to work hard and see how far I can go on my own."
Meng Zhen, on the other hand, had a new respect for Mingyue. She herself was a woman with a formal job. Although she would not look down on the women in the Zhou family who worked on the land at home to earn work points, she would appreciate women who were willing to make progress and climb up.
So Meng Zhen said without hesitation: "If you need anything, I can help you find out."
