After driving away the three members of the Zheng family, Bai Xiu felt uncomfortable. Looking at her husband's determined face, he seemed to hate the Zheng family to the core, and he was a little confused.
She knew that her husband had never liked the Zheng family very much, and every time Miao Guizhi came to visit, he would try his best to avoid them.
When she excitedly mentioned Yanhong's marriage to the Zheng family, he advised her to think about it more than once.
Now it seems that he really doesn't like the Zheng family very much, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry into the Zheng family.
If you don't want to get married, you won't get married. If your love is more important than your daughter, naturally your daughter is more important.
The three members of the Feng family went to work as usual. Before leaving, they told Feng Yanhong to have a good rest, fearing that she would think too much. The three of them seemed to have agreed not to mention anything about the Zheng family.

When Miao Guizhi brought Zheng Qiaohui home, Zheng Xingbang hadn't gotten off work yet. Miao Guizhi was kneading the noodles neatly and frying two eggs.
He looked at the empty table with only a plate of eggs and half a bowl of pickles, rubbed his hands, took out half a bottle of Erguotou from the cabinet, and put the glasses on the table.
I still felt a little uneasy, and kept rubbing my apron with both hands until there was a noise in front of the door.
"I came back early today." Miao Guizhi smiled and stepped forward to take the lunch box from Zheng Xingbang's hand.
Zheng Xingbang had a dark face and glanced at Miao Guizhi. He glanced around the room and only saw the mother and daughter. His face suddenly darkened again.
"What day is not this time? Is the meal ready? What about the National Day?"
Miao Guizhi's face turned pale and her hands trembled.
"Just put the noodles in the pot and it will be ready. The National Day will probably have to wait a while. Let's eat first. I saved the noodles for the National Day."
"Dad, you are back, my brother..."
"Qiao Hui!"
Miao Guizhi quickly interrupted Zheng Qiaohui and asked her to go away with a wink.
Zheng Xingbang ignored the exchange between the two. He went into the room and took off his watch. He looked at the plate of eggs and Erguotou on the table with a bit of satisfaction on his face.
He sat down and poured himself half a glass of wine, took a sip and smashed his mouth. He picked up a piece of egg with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, nodding with satisfaction.
"Your mother's scrambled eggs are very good. They are much more delicious than those made in our cafeteria."
Zheng Qiaohui stared at the plate of eggs and felt her mouth was filled with saliva. But without her father's permission, how could she dare to move her chopsticks?
"Come on, come on, the noodles are ready."
As before, Zheng Xingbang used a big old bowl that was not much smaller than a basin, and the mother and daughter used a smaller noodle bowl.
Zheng Xingbang's bowl of noodles was mixed with shredded potatoes, while the mother and daughter's bowls had only a few shredded potatoes, like a bowl of white noodles.
Zheng Xingbang snorted and took a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth, making a squeaking sound. He nodded with satisfaction, took another sip of Erguotou, and dropped the chopsticks and eggs into his mouth.
"The scrambled eggs are pretty good today, you can eat them too."
The mother and daughter looked at each other, then looked at the plate of eggs with smiles on their faces.
Zheng Qiaohui had been staring at it for a long time, and her chopsticks landed on the largest piece of the dish.
"cough!"
Zheng Xingbang coughed heavily and stared at the eggs on the plate with a sullen expression.
Zheng Qiaohui's hands were so frightened that she almost dropped her chopsticks on the plate, and she looked at him cautiously.
After swallowing, I turned my chopsticks around and could only pick up a small piece and put it into my mouth. I smashed my mouth carefully, not daring to swallow too fast.
Miao Guizhi lowered her eyes and did not dare to say anything. She turned her half-stretched chopsticks into the pickle bowl.
Seeing Zheng Xingbang eating all the noodles in the bowl, there were still two or three pieces of eggs on the plate. Knowing that they were reserved for Zheng Guoqing, he swallowed and stood up to put away the bowl and chopsticks.
"Did the Feng family say that they should go there tomorrow to propose marriage? Are everything ready?"
Zheng Xingbang suddenly mentioned this matter, which shocked Miao Guizhi. She had already had an idea in her mind and almost forgot about it.
"Maybe, maybe we can't get married for the time being, we have to spend some time..."
Zheng Xingbang's eyes darkened instantly, his brows furrowed into three vertical lines, and he twirled his wine glass impatiently.
"What? Their family wants to raise a bride price?"
"No, maybe it's because the farmers are busy..."
"It's because my brother's lover, Liu Meili, went to the farm and beat Feng Yanhong until her head was broken. The Feng family was not happy, so the marriage couldn't be finalized."
"My brother hasn't broken up with that woman yet, so the Feng family is angry! My mother and I even came to apologize and were locked out."
Zheng Qiaohui's mouth was faster than Miao Guizhi's hands, and she spoke out all the words before Miao Guizhi came to block her mouth.
"Qiao Hui!"
Miao Guizhi simply hated iron and told her not to talk nonsense before entering the door. She was lucky because her mouth was faster than her brain!
She didn't even want to think about it. If she was going to be exposed, could her father spare her?
Even if she was wrong on National Day, she was the one who brought Zhang Meili to the Feng family. In terms of fault, she was the older one.
Now that she's fine, how can she be satisfied with her words?
What can we do?!
Miao Guizhi looked at Zheng Xingbang and felt as if she had been struck by five thunders. Her face instantly turned pale and she froze in place.
"What did you say?!"
Now I can only hope that Zhang Meili can hold the National Day tighter, and it is best not to come back tonight...
The sound of the door lock turning almost made Miao Guizhi's hands and feet so cold that she despaired. Zheng Guoqing actually came back at this time.
"Do you have food? I'm starving to death..."
Zheng Guoqing appeared at home, looked at the scene in the room, paused, rolled his eyes, and sat at the dining table as if nothing happened.
Not being particular, he picked up Zheng Xingbang's chopsticks, picked up a piece of egg and put it in his mouth.
"Let me ask you, have you broken up with that Zhang Meili?!"
The corners of Zheng Xingbang's eyes twitched, and he stared at Zheng Guoqing with half-closed eyes. Looking at the injury on his face, he felt a little suspicious.
"It's been over a long time ago. Didn't you ask me to marry Feng Yanhong? Can I continue?"
"Brother, you can't lie to dad, obviously..."
He even went to pick up Zhang Meili today. Who would believe that the two of them were still together?
"Crack!"
Zheng Guoqing ate the last egg with chopsticks and slammed the chopsticks on the dining table.
"That's enough for you two. What else do you want to cause trouble? All you have to say is sweet words. Let me marry the man named Feng."
"The other one has to go to great lengths to mess up this marriage. I haven't even settled the accounts with you two yet, but you want me to take the blame, don't you?!"
In a few words, Zheng Guoqing once again put the blame on the mother and daughter. He seemed to be very innocent and hurt.
"You, you Zhang Meili are obviously the ones who provoked this..."
Zheng Qiaohui was only a seventeen-year-old child. She had not left school, how could she possibly be able to scheme against Zheng Guoqing? After being accused like this, she instantly became red-eyed and didn't know what to say.
"What's going on?!"
Zheng Xingbang originally looked down on the Feng family, but his son failed to live up to his expectations and was exposed to such things, and even the people in their factory found out about it.
After carefully looking at the conditions of the Feng family, I actually felt that they were pretty good, even better than those of some other families in the city, so I reluctantly agreed.
He has told everything about his son’s engagement, but now he can’t decide!
