Sure enough, after the Ren family's mother and daughter returned home, they declined the matter.
When An Ning came to her home to talk to Lin Zhixiu, her face was a little dejected.
He tried his best to speak calmly, but one could see the eagerness, excitement, regret, disappointment and frustration in his heart.
"Uncle, you are indeed not worthy of any girl..." he murmured.
This is the first time Lin Zhixiu has adopted him and he has been so devastated.
No wonder the princess would give me her maid, I might only be worthy of marrying someone like that... He began to stop thinking about the good things.
Lin Zhixiu felt awkward and said unconvincedly, "Uncle, you are talented, kind-hearted, and wealthy. How come you are not worthy of her? Although the girl from the Ren family is good, how old is she? She also broke off the engagement...
Even a decent family and a good husband can look down upon her! This family is just confused."
An Ning said to herself, "Her ex-fiancé is blind. He doesn't cherish such a good woman. He doesn't even know how happy he is!"
Lin Zhixiu rolled her beautiful eyes, feeling indignant at what happened to her uncle. "If you ask me, the Ren family is really confused! The Zhao family ruined their marriage. If his family was pragmatic, they should have found a lower family.
Marry Miss Ren as soon as possible. Huh, you are just too picky. You always want to find someone better than the first one. But how is this possible?! Although this matter is not Miss Ren’s fault, the world has been bad for women since ancient times.
Fair enough! Who can do anything? If you have the ability, rush to Zhao’s house and break that bad man’s legs! See if he still betrays his trust?!”
An Ning said, "She deserves better people who will treat her well throughout her life."
Lin Zhixiu said, "Hmph, I heard that her family is not willing to let her work as a house filler. I guess in two years, she will have to go to the temple to be a sister-in-law! Huh!" She gloated and rolled her eyes. The Ren family considered it a good idea.
Offended her!
An Ning didn't even listen to what she said, with a look of obsession on her face. "The fan she was holding that day was embroidered with camellia. She must like camellia. Although we don't have it in our hometown, my uncle fell in love with it when he saw it for the first time."
.A few days ago, in the flower market, my uncle saw a few pots of camellias. They were really beautiful and wanted to buy them back. However, my uncle stayed at home for too short a time and had no time to take care of them. If he bought them back and then raised them to death, it would not be a sin.
Yes? I was thinking...Xiu'er, do you think it would be too abrupt for my uncle to send a few pots to Ren's house?"
Lin Zhixiu looked at An Ning's useless look and puffed up her cheeks angrily, "Uncle, her family rejected your marriage! Have you forgotten? I'm angry! What kind of camellia?! I won't send it!"
An Ning blushed and lowered her head, "Xiu'er, uncle is indeed not worthy of any girl. He knew this from the first moment he saw her. She was like... a swan... That day, uncle couldn't even speak.
It’s too bad to say it. Maybe Mrs. Ren and Miss Ren think that uncle just stutters!”
He regretted it very much! He was not new to the world. Why was he so nervous that day? He really beat himself up a few times when he went back.
Lin Zhixiu said, "Uncle, don't miss her. We will definitely find someone better than her! Find someone who treats you sincerely."
But the uncle shook his head, "Xiu'er. Uncle is not good...Uncle doesn't want to get married..."
Lin Zhixiu was really speechless, "What did you say? You!!! Uncle, what did you say... Do you want my maternal grandfather's family to be extinct?"
An Ning said, "Xiu'er...I'm sorry, uncle is really sad..." His eyes were red.
What is this?! We just met you once, what do you think?
Why are you so useless!?
Lin Zhixiu was speechless, "Uncle, this is your first blind date, why did you end it here?"
"Xiu'er, uncle is feeling very confused and is going back first." He wiped his eyes, stood up and walked out.
"Wait..." Lin Zhixiu was a little dumbfounded.
An Ning bowed her head and walked out without looking back. Lin Zhixiu had no choice but to ask Dongyun to see her off.
Just as they were leaving the hospital, the fifth aunt twisted her waist and came over, "Xiu'er, I saw your uncle left, what did he do here?"
She is full of gossip.
Lin Zhixiu was also very depressed, "Oh! The search for my aunt didn't go well."
"How could it be? Your uncle is in a good position. If it weren't for the age difference between him and my third sister...but it's not too much. Otherwise...Xiu'er, could you ask your uncle?" Fang Qunqun's eyes were confused.
Turn, calculate.
"Oh, Fifth Aunt, please don't mess around. My uncle has his eye on one, but he doesn't want to."
"Ah? Whose family is this?!"
"You don't know..." It's really hard for Lin Zhixiu to talk about this in private as she lives in a girl's house. It would be very serious if it spread out.
"What's it like? Does it look good?"
"Well, it's pretty good-looking. But I'm already 21 this year."
"Ah? He's as old as your uncle! How can you still look down on your uncle like this?" Fang Qunqun couldn't believe it.
"That's right!!" Lin Zhixiu was still angry.
"How come she's not married yet at such an old age? Second marriage? No way?!" Fang Qunqun looked surprised.
Lin Zhixiu said, "We were engaged before, but later, the man fell in love with someone else and we broke off the engagement."
"Ah?! Then why has she delayed so many years? And why is she still unwilling to do this to your uncle? You see, the first marriage has money, an official position, and a responsible person. There is no father-in-law or mother-in-law above.
If you don’t have any brothers or sisters, you will be the oldest when you enter the house!” Fang Qunqun counted on his fingers.
"Oh...hehe, he has a good family background, looks good, and is good in all aspects!" Lin Zhixiu looked jealous.
Fang Qunqun shook her head disapprovingly, "No matter how good you are, it's not easy to find a good one after breaking off the marriage and being old. You must be able to fill the house properly. When the husband is old and has children in front of you, you will have to be lower than others when you enter the house.
The original wife has one child. The children are of lower status than the original wife... Humph, what is she thinking? My family is so poor, and my father is not willing to let us fill in the house."
Lin Zhixiu said, "I heard that her family is not willing to let her fill the house."
"If you don't want to fill a house, why don't you find someone who is four or five years younger than you? If she is willing, others must be happy too? If she is really willing, I guess... hum... it won't be that good!"
Lin Zhixiu looked up to the sky and sighed, "You can understand it, but that family is stupid! Eh? Aunt Five, why did you marry my Uncle Five?"
Fang Qunqun also looked up to the sky and sighed, "Alas! Considering the situation of my family, even if I married a concubine, I was still quite high-ranking if I could join the Lin family. At that time, your fifth uncle was good-looking, and I heard that he was also very talented and learned. When people told my father,
My father couldn't believe it was true! He was so happy at the time, as if he had picked up a big ingot. The Lin family has a high lintel, so I thought that by marrying in, I could help the younger sisters below..."
"Fifth Aunt, you sacrificed yourself."
Fang Qunqun felt a little sad and said with a smile, "It's hard to talk about it. Up to now, I am very satisfied with this family. The Lin family behaves like a big family. Although they don't like me, they have never abused me."
I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I can take care of the family, and I can also bring my sister out... Let me tell you, my second sister's marriage was obtained through the Lin family! My brother-in-law has already been elected. I won't talk about it next spring.
Next. Not to mention anything else, this is a big gain!"
Lin Zhixiu said, "But it will be boring for you and Uncle Wu to continue like this!"
Fang Qunqun said, "Hey, Xiu'er, you can't be greedy. I don't care about this now. If Fang Jiji can arrange a good marriage again, my burden will be much lighter. In two years, we will have four sisters and five sisters."
If my brother is admitted to the scholar examination again... my mission will be completed. When the time comes, if you can pass, you can pass. If you can't, I will take a piece of divorce paper home! My parents have worked hard for many years, and I just go back to take care of them."
Lin Zhixiu thought, isn't she quite open-minded? If that scandal hadn't happened in her previous life, she wouldn't have had trouble thinking about it...
"What should my uncle do?" Lin Zhixiu sighed.
Fang Qunqun said, "Can you find another chance to have a good talk with that family? Sometimes, a word can wake up the dreamer."
Lin Zhixiu said, "I don't agree at all! What else is there to say?"
Fang Qunqun said, "Hey, you can't say that! People, sometimes they make mistakes. That girl is already twenty-one, and when the time comes, she will either find someone in her forties or fifty, or she will become a nun. The next generation of the family has all grown up.
How can there be any place to put her... Her family may not be able to live without her legs! The parents feel sorry for the girl and are afraid that she will be wronged, afraid that she will think that the family despises her and just send her away. And what about this girl? And what about this girl?
I'm worried that if I don't marry well, my family will be embarrassed... The topic is so sensitive that no one dares to talk about it. If it comes and goes, it will become a dead end. At this time, you need your little hands to move it away..."
Fang Qunqun held Lin Zhixiu's little hand and clicked her tongue. This was such a blessed little hand! Such beautiful, pink and swollen nails, you can't even see the joints!
My own hands are not ugly, but after years of working, they are not as delicate as these hands. Alas! I don’t know, where did I end up in a good family?!
After Fang Qunqun left, Lin Zhixiu thought about her uncle's worthless appearance and became angry. Then she thought about what Fang Qunqun said, hey, it makes sense! Otherwise...
