Chapter 006: To Each His Own Mind
Zheng Jianxin and his family have children and live in their own house with Zheng Jianqing. Logically speaking, this is not a crowd, and it is much better than most people's lives in the village.
But Wu Mei really couldn't stand Zheng Jianqing's little uncle.
The Zheng family's house was built relatively early, except for the stone and brick on the outside layer, which looks more beautiful, and most of the walls used as cubicles in the house are made of mud mixed with bamboo strips.
As time passed, there were always dry mud blocks falling down the walls, revealing the bamboo strips mixed inside.
Through the gap between the bamboo strips, the two adjacent rooms are simply interconnected, and you can clearly see the situation in the next room.
Wu Mei and Zheng Jianxin have been married for more than a year, and the two of them were newly married Yan'er, and because they had children not long after they got married, the two usually don't show it much, and they are actually very sticky in private.
But Zheng Jianqing lives next door to them, and the slightest movement between the two of them will be heard by Zheng Jianqing.
And because Zheng Jianqing is a young son, he is usually spoiled by Xiong Xiaofen, and he has not been to the ground many times since he grew up, and his status at home is only below Zheng Hongxing.
Except for Zheng Hongxing, in this family, no one dares to provoke Zheng Jianqing.
A few nights, when Wu Mei and Zheng Jianxin were making out in the house, they heard a noise in Zheng Jianqing's room, and the light of the kerosene lamp also came through the tattered walls.
This is the night owl Zheng Jianqing coming home.
Wu Mei and Zheng Jianxin could only get stuck there, and they didn't dare to move, for fear that Zheng Jianqing would find out about the movement here.
Who can live this kind of life?
When Wu Mei got married, the matchmaker said that the Zheng family had a spacious house and a small population, and only the two brothers Zheng Jianxin and Zheng Jianqing stayed at home. When the two brothers are married, although they will not be separated, they can live separately, and their younger family can have at least two large tiled houses.
Wu Mei and her parents also came to the Zheng family to see it together. It was determined that the Zheng family really had such a big house, and the Wu family responded to this family business.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wu Mei's own conditions are not very good.
Wu Mei herself is a little short and fat, and she is not very good at working in the field. A person like her, who is not good at appearance and farm work, belongs to the kind that is difficult to marry in the countryside.
If it weren't for Zheng Jianxin's worse conditions, he was ugly and short, his brain was not good, and he was not good at words, he couldn't do anything except hard work, how could the Zheng family not be persuaded by others and find the Wu family in the next township.
The Wu family is also afraid that they will miss the Zheng family, and if they want to find such a suitable person for their daughter, it will be even more difficult!
As a result, after Wu Mei got married, she realized that the Zheng family's house was not what they said at all!
This is also because Zheng Fangyi was deliberately called out at that time and did not show up in front of the Wu family. As for the Wu family, they didn't specifically inquire about the Zheng family in Xinmin Village.
Therefore, before Wu Mei got married, the Wu family didn't know that the Zheng family had such a person as Zheng Fangyi, and they didn't know that half of the Zheng family's big house was left by Zheng Fangyi's parents!
As for now, although Wu Mei knows the true situation of the Zheng family, she has also complained about Zheng Jianxin countless times in private. But she still thinks about it, and thinks that since she is married, then she is a member of the Zheng family, and of course she has to think about the Zheng family.
Wu Mei also knew that her in-laws had always been worried about the two houses of Zheng Fangyi's family, but they were embarrassed to take the initiative to tear their faces.
But if Zheng Jianqing, who is the most doted on by his mother-in-law, also gets married, Zheng Jianqing will definitely not be able to accept the current housing problem, and he can't take the initiative to make trouble?
As long as the brother-in-law makes trouble, she won't believe it, and her mother-in-law can still bear not to occupy Zheng Fangyi's house?
So, for Wu Mei, it doesn't matter if Zheng Fangyi gets married or not. The most important thing is to let the little brother-in-law Zheng Jianqing get married quickly!
Even, Wu Mei felt that it was best for Zheng Fangyi not to get married all the time.
If he doesn't get married, he won't need a house. If he doesn't need the house, he won't think about getting it back. This is a great good thing for their family!
I don't know which tendon in her mother-in-law is wrong, obviously she is usually a shrewd person, why is she confused about this important matter related to the house?
Xiong Xiaofen was already angry, and when she heard Wu Mei say this, she also felt that this made sense.
"It's hard for you, who is a sister-in-law, to know how to worry about Jianqing. Xiong Xiaofen habitually praised Wu Mei, and complained, "Zheng Fangyi's kid has been disobedient since he was a child, and if you let him go east, he will go west." Of course, I'm not his biological parents, and I can't control him so much. If it weren't for your father-in-law's choice to let me go to the Qin family to propose marriage, I wouldn't have bothered to care about this!"
Originally, although Xiong Xiaofen didn't think of taking the initiative to help Zheng Fangyi say goodbye, but since Zheng Hongxing explained this matter, Xiong Xiaofen was used to listening to her husband's words, so she naturally agreed.
She thought it was a trifle.
After all, Zheng Fangyi did save Qin Mutong's life, and he personally picked Qin Mutong out of the river. When their Zheng family didn't mention it, then everyone thought it was just a trivial matter. But if it is more true, then Qin Mutong must have a bad reputation, who else can he marry if he doesn't marry Zheng Fangyi?
But who would have thought that the old woman of the Qin family would have such a big temper that she would sweep her out of the house if she didn't agree with her!
The dead old lady still doesn't look down on Zheng Fangyi, she thinks that her granddaughter, whose parents are dead and can't work in the fields, is really how expensive is it?!
Wu Mei didn't expect that the matter of proposing marriage was brought up by her father-in-law, and she thought that her father-in-law, who had a black face and didn't say a few words all day, would never care about such a trivial matter!
"After all, Zheng Fangyi is his father-in-law's nephew, and it is inevitable that his father-in-law will worry about his marriage. Wu Mei casually perfunctory two sentences.
Of course, she was also very curious, but well, she dared to fool her mother-in-law, but she would never dare to play tricks in front of her father-in-law.
"Nephew, it's more important for a nephew to have a son?" Xiong Xiaofen scoffed at Wu Mei's statement, but when she mentioned her husband, she still didn't dare to speak out loud.
Wu Mei knew how much her mother-in-law was afraid of her father-in-law, and when she saw her mother-in-law being reckless, she didn't break it, she only whispered to comfort her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happy, and the atmosphere was rare and harmonious.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Zheng Hongxing and Zheng Jianqing, who always saw the dragon without seeing the end, came back.
But Zheng Fangyi is still nowhere to be seen.
"Mom, as soon as I came back, I heard that you said kiss to Zheng Fangyi's kid?" As soon as Zheng Jianqing entered the house, his hands stained with soil had not been washed, so he reached directly into the vegetable plate and touched a piece of meat fried with chili peppers and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well! This taste is really strong! Mom, this must be the meat fried by the second sister-in-law, right?"
