Chapter 529: We Can Only Hold On Like This
By the way, he trusted Zhu Ying so much because of Zhu Ying's parents, because he felt that a child raised by such parents should be good. He didn't expect that a spoiled child would actually play around like this, which was really shocking.
Mother Lin said that she wanted to meet Lin Yihui, so the matchmaker brought the girl over to meet Lin Yihui in the evening. Mother Lin had already inquired about the girl brought by the matchmaker in advance, and she knew that there was nothing wrong at home, so she agreed to let the matchmaker bring the girl over to meet Lin Yihui.
Lin Yihui is the eldest in the family and has reached the age to get married. If he doesn't get married, it will be difficult for his two younger brothers to get married first.
Lin Yihui also decided to delay his vacation by one month and get married at home before leaving so that his family could rest assured.
The girls brought by the matchmaker were all confirmed by Lin's mother to have no problems, which meant that Lin Yihui could choose anyone he wanted. On the fourth day of blind dates, Lin Yihui met a girl he liked. Although this girl's skin was not that white, she was pretty and simple, and was a good candidate for a wife.
The girl's name is Cao Jianyu. Her family was very happy when they knew that Cao Jianyu and Lin Yihui had successfully met each other. The Lin family is well-off and lives in a large brick and tile house. Lin Yihui also has a good job and the family atmosphere is also very good. It can be said that the Lin family is a rare good family.
After the matchmaking was successful, Lin's mother asked Lin Yihui to take Cao Jianyu to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, to the county park, to watch a movie, to get familiar with her and get to know her better.
After a week of dating, Cao Jianyu liked Lin Yihui more and more. She didn't care at all that he had brought a girlfriend home before, because she felt that it was a great honor for her family to marry Lin Yihui.
At that time, most marriages were flash marriages. After meeting each other, if they thought the two were compatible, they would get married soon. So after Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu dated for a week, the two families sat together to discuss marriage.
On the surface, the betrothal gift was given according to normal standards. If too much was given, others would surely be jealous. If too little was given, others would think that the Lin family did not value Cao Jianyu. Therefore, the gift was neither too much nor too little so that no one could find fault.
But on the surface, he gave Cao Jianyu an extra 50 yuan as a betrothal gift. After all, Lin Yihui rarely came back throughout the year. If Cao Jianyu married Lin Yihui, it would be no different from being a widow, so naturally he had to compensate her well.
Then there are two sets of autumn clothes, two sets of winter clothes, four pairs of shoes, a watch, and many other things that are used a lot in the countryside. It would be a waste to buy them. It would be better to keep the money for the young couple so that they can live a good life.
The Cao family also agreed to the conditions offered by the Lin family, and then began to arrange the marriages of the two children. Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu's wedding was scheduled for a week later.
In other words, the two people were getting married less than half a month after their blind date.
In the past few days, Lin Yiwan has met Cao Jianyu several times and thinks she is not bad. However, as she has read a lot of period novels, she is afraid that something might go wrong with Lin Yihui and Cao Jianyu's marriage, so she specially went to Cao Jianyu's house and took Cao Jianyu to stay in a guesthouse, making it impossible for anyone who wanted to plot against Cao Jianyu or snatch her marriage away from her to do so.
It is common in literary works about cousins plotting against other people's potential partners. For example, when a girl meets a good partner, the other sisters in the family will either secretly hook up with him or harm him, and then marry that person themselves.
Although Lin Yiwan thinks that Lin Yihui is not that good, his conditions are indeed very popular in the blind date market. There are countless people who want to marry Lin Yihui.
It's just that Mother Lin has very strict requirements for her daughter-in-law. Ordinary people are not in her eyes, and those from troublesome or biased families are also not in her eyes. This way, she can screen out the unsuitable people.
Wen Xi did not expect that Lin Yihui would get married so soon, but the wife he married was not Zhu Ying, so Wen Xi was relieved. If he really married Zhu Ying, then the Lin family would most likely be turned upside down, and it would also affect Lin Yiwan. Now that this person is gone, there is no such worry.
"Xiaoxi, what gift should we give to the eldest brother of the Lin family for his wedding? Should we just give a gift money like everyone else?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.
They are friends with Lin Yiwan, and they are also acquaintances of Brother Lin, so it would be unreasonable not to prepare a gift.
"Who of you has a new dress? Take one out and give it to them as a wedding gift, and then we'll split the money for the dress equally among the three of us." Wen Xi said.
Jiang Yue returned to her room and took out a skirt she bought for herself. "Here is a new skirt I bought this year. It hasn't been washed yet."
Wen Xi took the skirt and looked at it, then nodded, "This color is pretty good, it can be used as a wedding gift."
"That's good." Jiang Yue said with a smile. It was so hot and they didn't want to go to town.
Wenxi went back to the room to get the money and handed it to Jiangyue, "Xiaoyue, thank you for helping us solve such a big problem."
Qin Mi did buy two pairs of braids for Wenxi before, but Wenxi wore them as pajamas at night. How could clothes that have been worn be given as a gift?
Wen Xi folded the skirt and put it into a cloth bag, waiting for Lin Yihui's wedding day to give it directly to his wife.
Shen Jiaojiao came up to Wen Xi and poked her arm in a mean way, "Xiao Xi, when are you going to find a partner?"
"What about you? When are you going to find a partner?" Wen Xi asked instead of answering, kicking the ball to Shen Jiaojiao.
Shen Jiaojiao lowered her head and played with her fingers. "I haven't met someone I like yet! I can't get along with him even if I want to!"
She is two years older than Wenxi. She is already 20 years old this year. Others of her age have children who are about to go to kindergarten, but she doesn't even have a partner.
She started too late.
Wen Xi nodded. It was indeed not easy to meet a good partner with similar interests in the countryside, and the people here thought differently from them. If she really married here, she would probably not give Shen Jiaojiao the opportunity to develop herself in the future, because they did not want women to be stronger than themselves. They felt that this would make them feel suppressed by women.
Moreover, most of the parents-in-law here want to have grandchildren. If you give birth to a granddaughter, they may force you to have one child after another until you give birth to a grandson.
You want a divorce, but the other party cannot afford to marry a new wife, so he will not agree to the divorce. Moreover, most men will not divorce. After all, a divorce means one less labor force in the family.
And after the divorce, who will do the housework?
Who will take care of the parents?
Who will raise the child?
After weighing the pros and cons, none of them would agree to divorce. In other words, if they really married here, they would have to endure this for the rest of their lives, and it all depended on who died first.
