Siheyuan: Why does your brother beat you up every day, Shazhu?

In rural areas these days, a 20-year-old girl who is still unmarried is indeed considered an "old maid", and her parents cannot help but be anxious.

Wang Cuilan didn't take her father's worries and complaints to heart at all. Instead, she raised her voice and said:

"What did you say? You said I'm not like a woman? You said I'm hot-tempered? You said you can't control me? Ugh!"

Her tone was full of disdain for those who were talking about it:

"Don't you see those cowards? They're almost broken just trying to farm two mu of land. They walk crookedly while carrying water. They grunt and choke when they see strangers. They can't even speak coherently!"

"They are like that, and they still look down on me? I even look down on them!"

"You said that when I marry them, will I serve them, or will they serve me? It makes me angry just watching it!"

Wang Cuilan's barrage of rebuttals infuriated her father, who was fuming with anger, but he couldn't do anything about her:

"You! Just keep talking tough! I'll see what you'll do in the future!"

He Weiguo and Liu Jun ate silently beside them, not interrupting. It's true that every family has its own problems.

Liu Jun was used to all this. He often drove his car on the road and stayed at farmers' homes. He was familiar with all kinds of situations and was not surprised by such family conflicts.

But He Weiguo is different.

To be honest, he had a very good impression of Wang Cuilan.

He is not shy at all, he does things efficiently and decisively, and he has a straightforward and bold personality.

This girl is a bit to his liking.

Her straightforward personality is completely different from those people in the courtyard who are always calculating and saying one thing in public and another in private.

Moreover, she is capable and able to handle things, and she has a strong personality and strong opinions.

A girl like this...may not be suitable for him, He Weiguo, but...doesn't he have a silly younger brother at home?

What he has been thinking about is finding a suitable wife for Sha Zhu!

He had mentioned this to Xu Damao before, and even secretly helped Sha Zhu look for girls when he went to the textile factory to look at the goods, but he always felt that there was something wrong with those girls. They were either too soft or had too many thoughts, and none of them could control Sha Zhu's unruly nature.

But this Wang Cuilan in front of me... is really suitable for Sha Zhu!

Therefore, He Weiguo interrupted at the right time and said with a smile:

"Oh, uncle, please stop talking. I think Cuilan has a good personality!"

"Frank! Capable! Better than many dilatory men!"

He changed the subject and began to comfort the old man:

"Also, when it comes to finding a partner and getting married, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If your destiny hasn't arrived yet, there's no need to rush."

"I think Cuilan is a very resourceful woman. Maybe she can find you a more capable and promising son-in-law when the time comes."

Uncle Wang thought He Weiguo was just saying these polite words to comfort him, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Oh, comrade, please stop joking. How could I not understand the situation in my family? It's difficult!"

He Weiguo waved his hands repeatedly and said sincerely:

"Uncle, I'm not being polite. A girl like Cuilan won't have any trouble finding a husband!"

Wang Cuilan listened to He Weiguo's words, glanced at him, a hint of recognition flashed in her dark eyes, and she said:

"This elder brother is right! Dad, why are we so anxious?"

"When you're looking for a man, you need to find someone who's capable of standing tall and shouldering responsibilities!"

"What's the point of just flattery and talking nonsense?"

He Weiguo nodded repeatedly, feeling that this girl's thinking was exceptionally clear:

"Sister, you are absolutely right! I also think what you said makes sense!"

"Alas..." Uncle Wang sighed deeply, his expression still full of worry.

"How could I not know the truth? I have watched my daughter grow up. She has suffered a loss and been wronged by marrying those young men in our village."

"But... the truth is, no one has come to propose marriage!"

"As a father, how can I not be worried?"

"Look, she's already 20... In the village, kids her age are already old enough to help with cooking!"

Seeing that the time was almost right, He Weiguo felt that he could no longer beat around the bush, so he cleared his throat and officially spoke:

"Uncle, since we've come this far today, I'll just tell you the truth."

"I have a younger brother who works as a cook in the cafeteria of the Red Star Steel Mill in Sijiu City. He's about the same age as Cuilan."

He started to promote Shazhu:

"My brother, I can't say anything else, but he's so strong that there's no escape!"

"He tossed the huge iron pot and the wok weighing over a hundred pounds at the factory like it was a game!"

"He's a simple, honest man with a straightforward personality. He doesn't know how to beat around the bush."

"I think...it's quite suitable for your girl's personality!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Cuilan and respected her opinion:

"I just don't know...will Miss Cuilan be interested in my brother?"

"If you're really interested, I'll bring my brother to your house someday so we can meet and see each other."

"If you're attracted to each other, let's get together first. As for the rules, let's follow them."

Chapter 140 A Wife Suitable for Sha Zhu

What He Weiguo said was a bit abrupt according to common sense.

After all, it was the first time the two parties met and introduced the girl to someone.

But Uncle Wang was indeed a little crazy worried about marrying off his daughter.

You said that she is 20 years old and no one has proposed marriage to her. As a father, he is no different from those parents in later generations who worry about their children's marriage. He is very anxious.

When he heard what He Weiguo said, he was actually secretly thinking about it in his heart.

Judging from the information provided by He Weiguo, these conditions... are really not bad!

Urban hukou! And a regular worker! A cook at a steel mill!

It was a lucrative job back then! Strong! Straightforward... From that perspective, being a good match for my daughter would be... well, my daughter is marrying above her station!

But... he was a little worried.

My daughter has a rural household registration, so marrying into the city is considered a "high-class marriage."

What if I get wronged there and my parents’ home is far away and can’t help me?

As a father, he does consider more and is more practical.

Then he spoke vaguely:

"Ah... your brother is quite good, a worker comrade from the capital, he really has a bright future!"

I neither agreed explicitly nor refused directly, and I wanted to wait and see.

But Wang Cuilan is more straightforward!

Her personality was completely different from her father's. After hearing what He Weiguo said, she asked directly, her eyes clear and without hesitation:

"Brother, are you talking about your own brother?"

"Then could you...tell me about him in detail?"

Seeing Wang Cuilan taking the initiative, He Weiguo said without hesitation:

"Okay, sister! Then I'll talk to you nicely!"

"My younger brother is probably two or three years older than you, so they're about the same age."

"And then, he's... a little taller than you, pretty sturdy, with a lot of lumps."

"Cooking is a unique skill!"

"If I have to say a flaw... it's that I'm a bit stubborn and opinionated."

After listening to He Weiguo, Wang Cuilan was also thinking silently in her heart.

Based on the information He Weiguo has revealed so far, his younger brother really fits Wang Cuilan's imagination of her future partner!

It’s not that the identity of a worker is so attractive to her, of course, it is definitely a huge plus.

Mainly because she heard Brother He's description of his younger brother, who was sturdy and strong - she preferred men who looked strong, capable of working and taking on responsibilities!

Look at He Weiguo, the eldest brother, he is so tall and strong, his younger brother should not be much different.

Besides, he is a chef, so his cooking must be pretty good. These days, following a chef at least means you won’t starve and will always have plenty of food.

Plus, he's straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush, which seems to be a good match for her bold and straightforward personality.

After thinking about it this way, Wang Cuilan actually felt a little tempted.

So, she spoke carelessly, with a touch of the frankness typical of rural girls:

"Then...Brother He! If you have time, please bring your brother over to meet me."

"No matter how good your words are, I still have to see the person with my own eyes!"

He Weiguo had no objection to this, but was instead delighted.

After hearing what Wang Cuilan said just now, he was very satisfied with her!

It’s mainly because of his personality, he can make decisions decisively!

If this is really said, I will definitely be able to control that silly little brother at home!

As long as Zhuzi can solve his lifelong problem, start a family, and have a capable and sensible wife to take care of him, he will indeed have to worry less in the future.

Seeing that the girl agreed so generously, He Weiguo did not hesitate:

"Okay! Sister Cuilan! When I'm free someday, I'll definitely bring my brother to your house!"

After He Weiguo finished speaking, Uncle Wang beside him didn't say anything, but his expression relaxed a lot.
