"My boss, I won't beat around the bush. I encountered a difficult matter this time, and I would like to ask my boss for help and guidance," Xu Yuanming said.

"What's the matter? Shopkeeper Xu, it's okay for you to just tell me." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xu Yuanming said: "It concerns my cousin Xiaohei."

"What's wrong with Xiao Hei?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Xu Yuanming smiled bitterly: "Xiao Hei has been staying at my house for the past two days. I wonder if my boss knows about this?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "He quarreled with my aunt a few days ago and ran away in anger. I heard my aunt talk about this. But I really don't know where he has stayed these past two days, and I have no interest in asking."

The expression on Xu Yuanming's face was a bit embarrassing, but he still had to bite the bullet and continued: "He is engaged to my Qiaohong family, and is also the prospective son-in-law of our old Xu family. It would be okay to stay at my house for two days.

"

"It's just that Qiaohong suddenly told me yesterday that she doesn't plan to marry into Lao Wang's family, but wants to recruit Xiao Hei as her son-in-law!"

Yang Ruoqing picked up the tea and pretended to take a sip, but she was thinking in her heart that she had guessed correctly. The Xu family and his son had indeed come here for this matter.

"Miss Boss, I'm not hiding anything from you. You are the bread and butter of our old Xu family. You also know everything about our old Xu family."

"Not to mention that I, Xu Yuanming, already have three sons. Even if I only have an only daughter like Qiaohong, even if I really want to recruit a son-in-law, there are so many people on the street. I can't recruit someone like Xiao Hei!"

That's a waste. Except for following Qiaohong, it's normal. At any other time, as long as you are out of Qiaohong's sight, Xiaohei will act stupid!

"You still want something like this?" Yang Ruoqing deliberately showed a surprised expression.

Xu Yuanming's face was flushed, ashamed and annoyed, and Xu Da, who was sitting next to him, also had an angry face.

"Although it was my sister who took the initiative to mention this to my father, we all know that it was Xiao Hei's idea and he encouraged Qiao Hong to say it!"

"What is his purpose of getting married?" Yang Ruoqing was a little curious about this.

After all, for a man, getting married is a face-damaging thing.

Anyone who has some ability and self-respect wants to marry a woman back home and continue his surname and family legacy.

Once you go to the woman's family to marry into your wife's family, the prerequisite is to give up your surname and join the other party's family.

Whether it's for love or something else, in the eyes of outsiders, they won't see your dedication, they will only think that you are a man who wants to escape the burden and pressure of marrying a wife, which is a sign of inability.

, will be looked down upon.

To put it bluntly, let’s take Xiao Jie’s father as an example. Many people outside may say something bad, but in their hearts they actually look down on Xiao Jie’s father.

I always feel that he married into the Sun family. The Sun family is not supported by him, but by the father and daughter of the old Suntou and the eldest Sun...

Of course, these are outsiders' views of the Sun family and Xiaojie's father.

But in the eyes of relatives and friends like Yang Ruoqing, Sun Shi, and Yang Huazhong who knew the situation of the Sun family and knew Xiaojie's father well, Xiaojie's father was a very good man.

Although he is thin, shorter than the average man, and not good at talking, he is a real person.

Be diligent and down-to-earth, be filial to your elders, respect the eldest Sun family, and be tolerant of the eldest Sun family.

But how many son-in-laws with good character like Xiaojie's father are there?

Very rare!

More son-in-laws come to the house. To put it bluntly, they go there because of the conditions of the bride's family, hoping that the father-in-law and mother-in-law will support the family so that they can follow suit.

For example: Xiaohei!

"Boss, it's absolutely impossible for Xiao Hei to come and be our son-in-law!" Xu Yuanming's voice sounded again, pulling Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.

Yang Ruoqing apologized slightly for being distracted just now, so she looked at Xu Yuanming seriously, waiting for his next words.

Xu Yuanming went on to say: "Qiaohong and I rejected it right away."

"I told her that she could either marry into Lao Wang's family, or she could leave the house and go away with Xiao Hei wherever she wanted. I would treat her as if she had given birth to a daughter."

"But if you want to bring Xiao Hei into the Xu family, and let people like Xiao Hei hide under the tree in our old Xu family, eat and wait for death, that is absolutely impossible! You would never dare to do that in your dreams!"

When Xu Yuanming said this, he was so angry that he couldn't speak. He had to stop and take several breaths to calm down.

Xu Da took over what his father said and continued: "Qiaohong was having trouble with my father. Yesterday during the Ghost Festival, we went to burn incense for my mother on the field ridge behind the town. She was so angry that she slept at home and couldn't go out!"

"It really made our whole family angry. For the sake of this unscrupulous little black guy, we even ignored our children's filial piety. It's so disappointing!"

"When we came out today, she was still making trouble!"

Facing the angry condemnation of the Xu family and his son, Yang Ruoqing could only shake her head slightly.

Xu Qiaohong and Xiao Hei are really on the same road.

"Well, Shopkeeper Xu, Xu Da, you are telling me these things. After all, I am an outsider. I can't say anything, let alone give you any advice."

"I can only be a listener, and I will adjust it as you say."

Xu Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn't let go.

"What, but Xiao Hei is your cousin after all..."

Yang Ruoqing raised her hand to stop Xu Yuanming's words, "Relax, just like when your two families discussed marriage, I said at that time that there is no need to consider the relationship between me and Xiao Hei."

"This time, I still have the same attitude. Not only don't you think about me, but you don't have to think about the old Yang family."

"You can do whatever you want, it's up to your own arrangements!"

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's clear statement, Xu Yuanming and his son looked at each other, and the two of them completely let go of their remaining breaths.

Xu Yuanming stood up and clasped his fists towards Yang Ruoqing, his face filled with gratitude.

"Thank you for your open-mindedness, my boss. Mr. Xu knows it well!" Xu Yuanming said.

Xu Da also bent down devoutly and bowed gratefully to Yang Ruoqing several times.

Yang Ruoqing knew that the two of them were leaving, so she stood up and held them up with her hands.

After Xu Yuanming thanked him, he left the gift and prepared to say goodbye.

"Where are you going back? To the town? To the teahouse? Or..."

Xu Yuanming frowned: "We plan to go to Lao Wang's house and tell Xiao Hei's mother about this matter straight to the point."

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "That's fine, you go quickly!"

…

Lao Wang's family.

While Zhuangzhuang was still awake, Yang Huamei took the time to go to the vegetable garden, twisted a few cucumbers, pinched a handful of long beans, and picked a few peppers. As soon as she got home and put down the vegetable basket, Xu Yuanming and his son came over.

Xu Yuanming is a person who pays attention to etiquette, and now the two families are married, so this trip is not empty-handed, but brings gifts.

The gift is snacks for Zhuangzhuang, because families with children are like this, and children are the happiest when buying snacks.

When children are happy, adults will also be happy, or even happier.
