Chapter 652: Persuading Girls to Get Married

After leaving the inner courtyard, the noisy sound that woke Ye Rou up in the morning became louder and louder.

There were visitors at home, not just one but a group, many people.

Zhou Nian, Zhou Liang, Aunt Zhou and Zhou Liang's pregnant wife came to visit together.

In addition to their family of four, there were two uninvited guests - Jiang Weiguo and his second wife Zheng Chun, who also arrived on the same day.

It just so happened that Professors Zhou Yuqing and Wang Guoping did not have classes, so the house was particularly lively today. Everyone was talking, and even though no one was speaking loudly, the combined volume was still quite high.

Zhou Liang gained weight again and became white and plump. In Wang Honghong's words, he looked like a well-risen white steamed bun.

Standing next to him was a thin young girl with delicate features, pigtails, and simple clothes. Her belly was nearly six months old and was bulging.

Jiang Weiguo is a government official. He says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. The place will never be lonely when he is around.

He sat steadily, looked at Zhou Liang's wife, and asked kindly, "Where is your sister-in-law?"

The young girl looked to be in her early twenties. When asked by Jiang Weiguo, she shyly hid behind Zhou Liang and did not answer.

It was her first time to travel far away, her first time to take a train, and her first time to visit the capital. She saw many new things and had not yet adapted to them. Then Zhou Liang brought her to such a big and nice yard, which made her feel timid. Her already quiet and silent personality became even more dull.

"Yuehong, Zhao Yuehong." Zhou Liang knew his wife well, so he took over the conversation skillfully and said loudly, "They are not from Dahe Village. Their village is not far from Dahe Village, Hedong Village."

When hearing about Hedong Village, Jiang Weiguo remembered it.

After all, he used to be the mayor of Changdu Town and had some knowledge of several nearby villages.

This Hedong Village... Jiang Weiguo looked at Zhao Yuehong with a strange look in his eyes again.

Zheng Chun, who had been sitting next to him, tugged at his sleeve.

Jiang Weiguo had just married Zheng Chun, and the novelty was still there. Knowing that she was curious, he lowered his voice and said to her, "Hedong Village is just an ordinary village, nothing special. The only weird thing is that the people in this village are particularly fond of boys over girls."

There is nothing strange about favoring boys over girls, but the people in this village have extremely extreme ideas. No matter whether they are men or women, old or young, they are honored to have a boy. Having a child makes them a hero to the whole village. On the contrary, if a girl is born, they will be cursed by the whole village and the whole family will not be able to hold their heads up.

He remembered a family that gave birth to three girls in a row. In the end, because the mother was too old to have another child, they bought a boy from outside and spoiled him like a baby, while treating the three girls like cattle and horses.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chun glanced at Zhao Yuehong.

She thought her gaze was secretive, but she didn't know that Zheng Yuehong, who was already inferior to her, was particularly sensitive to gazes.

Zhao Yuehong uncomfortably retracted her legs. Her facial expression became unnatural and a little stiff. Her impression of Zheng Chun became much worse.

Zhou Nian said nothing, taking in the two people's reactions.

Her sister-in-law, Zhao Yuehong, seems quiet and honest, but in fact she is very self-deprecating and narrow-minded. Zhou Nian has experienced this when she was in the village. Any word she says casually may hurt her lungs.

But what’s depressing is that she obviously cares a lot about it, but she doesn’t say anything, and the mouth on her face is like a decoration.

If she doesn't say anything, others won't know that she cares, and naturally they won't apologize to her, so she will be put on her blacklist.

Zhao Yuehong's methods are simple - secretly squeezing, excluding and instigating. They are not disgusting but irritating.

Zhou Nian endured it because he was concerned about her pregnancy.

Jiang Weiguo's second wife is also very interesting.

At first glance, he is a cunning person. He has been keeping his eyes open since he entered the yard, and he thinks he is hiding well.

What's even more ridiculous is that when she saw that Zhou Nian was quite pretty and knew that Zhou Nian was single and still in college, she somehow got so confused that she thought Zhou Nian was trying to snatch Jiang Weiguo from her. She glared at Zhou Nian secretly all the way and kept guarding Jiang Weiguo.

Zhou Nian glanced at Jiang Weiguo's thin, almost bald head, and his protruding belly that was even bigger than Zhao Yuehong's pregnant belly. Disgusting... Only Zheng Chun was guarding him like a treasure.

She looked at Zhao Yuehong, who had been showing off her pregnant belly as if it were a medal, and then at Zheng Chun, who was clinging to the bald man with a big belly and regarded all women as his rivals, and curled her lips.

Zheng Chun and Zhao Yuehong were about the same age as Zhou Nian, but their topics always revolved around children and men, which Zhou Nian found boring.

While feeling deeply bored, a sense of relief suddenly arose in my heart.

At the beginning, Ye Rou encouraged her to take the college entrance examination and also helped her with her knowledge. However, Zhou Nian was actually secretly resisting in her heart. She also felt deep down that studying was useless and that the most important thing for a girl was to find a man to marry.

But she wanted to be Ye Rou's friend and didn't want to fall behind, so she studied hard and followed Ye Rou to Jing City.

When she went to college, the female classmates she met had plans for the future and were ambitious about their careers, which indirectly helped Zhou Nian broaden her horizons.

If Ye Rou hadn't helped her, she would probably have been like them, revolving around men and children all her life and unable to see the wider and more wonderful world.

Thinking of this, Zhou Nian shuddered.

Seeing Zhou Nian sitting quietly aside, Aunt Zhou thought she was shy, so she poked her and signaled her to be open and chat more with Zheng Chun and Zhao Yuehong.

In Aunt Zhou's eyes, Zheng Chun and Zhao Yuehong are "successful" women.

Zhao Yuehong successfully became pregnant six months after getting married. How wonderful and successful!

Zheng Chun, an ordinary woman who never went to college and was average looking, actually married the chief of the Beijing Police Department. How wonderful and successful!

Zhou Nian has been studying in Beijing for almost half a year, but he still doesn't have a girlfriend and his personality is still so quiet and dull. Aunt Zhou sighs with worry when she thinks about this.

Seeing that Zhou Nian refused to learn from the two "successful" women, Aunt Zhou had to do it for her daughter.

"Director Jiang, two professors, if you know any talented young men, please introduce them to our Xiao Nian. Xiao Nian is almost 24 years old. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old maid and no one will want her."

She suddenly proposed marriage, and everyone present was stunned.

"mom!"

Zhou Nian was a shy and quiet person. When he suddenly heard Aunt Zhou's words, his face turned red.

Being embarrassed and blushing.

Wang Guoping and Zhou Yuqing looked at each other and said nothing.

Jiang Weiguo was a shrewd man. He wanted to mend his relationship with Ye Rou and Jiang Chen. Knowing that Zhou Nian was Ye Rou's good friend, he wanted to do her a favor, so he immediately said, "We have a few single guys in our bureau. Let Zhou Nian take a look."

"The young man from the police station!" Aunt Zhou's eyes lit up.

The police have a regular job, so it’s a stable job, great!

Aunt Zhou didn't even ask Zhou Nian's opinion, she slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, introduce her to our Xiao Nian quickly, so that she can get married sooner and I don't have to worry about it."

She really felt sorry for Zhou Nian, but girls have to get married eventually, and as a mother, all she could do was to help her choose a boy with good conditions.

"Mom!" Zhou Nian stood up suddenly in embarrassment.

Aunt Zhou was startled by her sudden action, "What's wrong?"

"I have my own ideas about my marriage. You don't need to worry about it." Zhou Nian said this angrily in a high voice.

In front of so many people, he suddenly yelled and it was really embarrassing. Zhou Liang quickly stepped forward and tried to be a peacemaker.

"Mom, Xiao Nian has just started college, there's no rush."

"Even if my sister never gets married, I can still support her."

He loves his sister Zhou Nian the most, and he speaks from the heart.

Zhao Yuehong, who had been sitting quietly, felt a little uncomfortable. She said, "What mom said is not wrong. We can wait and see. If someone with better conditions falls in love with her, it will be good for Xiao Nian."

Zheng Chun wished that all women would get married. She stayed away from Jiang Weiguo and immediately agreed, "Yes, what's the point of girls studying? They will get married eventually. Youth is a woman's greatest asset."

At this moment, Zhou Nian suddenly felt that she was not a person, but a piece of meat hung up with a price tag - young and tender, everyone was counting on her to fetch a good price.

She was so angry that her hands and feet were shaking and her whole body was cold. She wanted to refute, but her head was a mess because of anger and she couldn't say a word.

At this moment, the sound of nature suddenly rang out.

"Who says youth is a woman's greatest asset?"
