Chapter 572
"What? You want to marry her? No way! I won't agree!" Jiang's mother shouted. "Wenhua, you have a bright future ahead of you. You're valued by the factory leaders. There are so many good girls out there. Why do you have to choose Xiaofang?"
Jiang Wenhua was incredulous. His mother never cared about anything except his stepfather and his biological father, but now all he wanted to do was marry the girl he liked, and she disagreed.
"Mom, what's wrong with Xiao Fang? She's fine," Jiang Wenhua asked.
Jiang's mother said, "That girl has such a strong personality, she can't comfort or take care of you. Her family is still the same, they will definitely hold you back."
Jiang Wenhua: "If she weren't strong-willed, she would have been bullied to death by her family. Her family isn't anything to be afraid of; they're all rigid-minded people who can be easily fooled with a few words."
Jiang's mother: "But don't you men all hope to find a virtuous wife when you get married? Xiao Fang is not one to stay at home."
Jiang Wenhua: "Why would I want to find someone who stays at home, whether it's a man or a woman? People who stay at home all day will definitely not be able to talk to others. I want to find someone who can grow with me and fight alongside me in the outside world. Xiao Fang and I are a match made in heaven in this respect."
Speaking of this, Jiang Wenhua recalled an incident when Lao Xia was not at the factory, and Xiao Fang went to a female colleague's house. As a result, the two of them were scolded by the elders of that family.
Later, she blocked their door and cursed them for three days, which eventually led to her being reported to the factory and the police being called in.
He likes Xiao Fang's fiery personality.
Jiang's mother: "This...you...you're going to help her raise her younger sister, and she seems really fierce. Won't she yell at me?"
Jiang's mother was really worried. She originally had no objection to Fang Yingdi, but when the girl first came to the house, she said she wanted to take her to see a doctor because a new doctor had come to the hospital and might be able to cure her.
Without hesitation, he took her to the hospital right after finishing his meal.
This... Jiang's mother almost had a shock. She always had to prepare for a long time before going out. Who would just leave like that? It's terrifying.
As it turned out, she actually let Fang Yingdi take her out that day, because her son was telling her about Fang Yingdi's great achievements, which scared the old lady so much that she was afraid that the girl would block her door and scold her.
She was like a pig that had been robbed by bandits to be killed and eaten. Leaving aside her panic along the way, what angered Jiang's mother the most was that Fang Yingdi didn't even let her cover her face before taking her out.
She sat on the back of Fang Yingdi's bicycle, too afraid to jump off or look up at anyone, feeling utterly hopeless about life.
Fortunately, after examining her face, there was indeed hope, though it would require several surgeries.
Thinking about the many more trips she would have to go out, Jiang's mother was very unhappy. "Xiao Fang, I'm too old. There's no need for me to suffer like this anymore. It's too much money and effort, too troublesome. Let's not do it."
Fang Yingdi shook her head. "Auntie, you don't need to worry about the money. Xiao Jiang is willing to help me raise my sister and treats us like family. So you are my own mother. I don't feel bad at all spending money on my own mother. Just wait for the surgery. I will take care of everything else for you."
With a pained expression, Jiang's mother said "Oh" amidst the envious glances of the others in the hospital.
At Fang Yingdi's home, the opposition grew even stronger.
"What? No more dowry?" Father Fang's shrill voice echoed throughout the entire Fangjia Village brigade. "How can this be? My Sanya is a high school student and a worker. There are so many people who want her. People from our brigade could wear out our doorstep."
"My daughter is so good, and you say you won't give a bride price? Who are you insulting?" Mr. Fang heard from his third daughter a week ago that she was getting married, and the groom was this very eloquent Comrade Jiang.
Although his first meeting with Xiao Jiang was unpleasant, and he still feels like he has a bad taste in his mouth when he thinks about it, he felt that Xiao Jiang was a very nice person after their next few meetings. He thought Xiao Jiang was considerate and kind to them.
But if you ask him to specifically explain what's good about it, or what nice things he brought him, Mr. Fang can't say. He just says it's good.
When Fang Yingdi first announced her intention to marry Jiang Wenhua, her father was very supportive. He thought a son-in-law was like half a son, and Jiang was so good at getting things done, plus he was a worker. It was a matter of pride to talk about.
So in just one week, everyone from the 90-year-old man in Fangjia Village to the newborn piglets knew that Fang Sanya had found an extraordinary boyfriend.
When she and Xiao Jiang came in today, they had already exchanged countless greetings; it was even more lively than when the brigade leader's daughter got married.
But even though the tea had been brewed for the future son-in-law, the goose had been killed, and all the kind words had been spoken, in the end, the result was that no betrothal gifts were given.
Mr. Fang couldn't understand or accept it. "Xiao Jiang, you're bullying me too much. If you keep doing this, my Sanya will never be able to hold her head up in the village again."
Jiang Wenhua poured a glass of baijiu for his future father-in-law, "Uncle, let me tell you the story in detail."
Mr. Fang refused to listen, saying, "Xiao Jiang, no matter how eloquently you try to persuade me, I will not allow you to marry my Sanya without paying a bride price."
The last time I heard this was when Fang's father refused to cook chicken for Xiao Jiang at home. At that time, Xiao Jiang was helping her family deal with her parents, and they weren't dating yet.
Fang Yingdi vaguely remembered her father saying, "No matter how eloquently you speak, this chicken will never be killed now."
In the end, Xiao Jiang ate half of the pheasant, and he took the other half home.
Fang Yingdi felt relieved, as Xiao Jiang had told her that he would take care of everything.
She thought the most beautiful thing in a relationship was when both parties expressed their feelings, like the "I love you, you love me" kind of love described in those miscellaneous books.
But later, influenced by Xiao Jiang, she began to feel that the phrase "I'll give you all my money" was more practical and better expressed her feelings than "I love you".
But now, Fang Yingdi feels that the phrase "I'm here for you" is the best thing to say. It has a kind of feeling that makes people want to cry but also makes them feel at ease, and makes her feel that she can grow old with Xiao Jiang.
Jiang Wenhua is different from what people outside say; when something happens, he really goes for it.
Although he was stingy, miserly, and loved to extort money, Fang Yingdi saw these flaws as part of his charm.
Enraged, Fang's father pointed at Fang Yingdi and shouted, "Sanya, you also agreed not to give a bride price? You want to give money to their family? If you do this, I don't have a daughter like you. I'm going to the brigade leader's house right now to sever ties with you. I'll hang myself at your factory gate tomorrow..."
Fang Yingdi blinked, nodded without hearing anything clearly, and said, "Mm."
The marriage between Jiang Wenhua and Fang Yingdi was opposed by both sets of parents.
