Chapter 744 Talking about marriage
When Wang Xiulan mentioned Liu Jingxue's search for a husband, Liu Jianjun remembered what Liu Jingxue had said before and the plans he had in his mind.
He is a grown man who is away from home all year round, so he probably has to leave these things to his parents.
He looked at his parents, then at Mr. Zou and Mr. Wu, and he was a little hesitant as to whether he should talk about his younger sister's private affairs in front of Mr. Zou and Mr. Wu.
"Mom, I have something to tell you about my little sister's marriage."
Wang Xiulan sorted her things and said without turning her head, "Just say it if you have anything to say."
"How about we talk about it in private?" Liu Jianjun suggested.
Wang Xiulan stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and looked at Liu Jianjun with a serious look.
"Did something go wrong when your sister went to your place this time?"
Liu Jianjun shook his head, "No."
"Did your sister find a boyfriend over there?"
"How is that possible? If she found a partner, I wouldn't be in a hurry."
"If that's the case, then why do we have to talk about it in private? Just say it here.
Except for you, everyone here is your sister's elder and they care very much about her.
Since it is about your younger sister's marriage, let them listen and give them advice." Wang Xiulan said.
Wu Lao said, "Yes, Jianjun, do you have any suitable candidate to introduce to your sister?
Why don't you introduce the young man to us first, so that we can see if he is worthy of your sister."
When Wang Xiulan heard this, she quickly said, “He has a candidate. What suitable candidate does he have?
The people he knows are either soldiers or current soldiers, so how could he know anyone else?
My parents-in-law have said long ago that Xiaoxue will not join the army and will not marry a soldier.
If he introduced Xiaoxue to a soldier, my parents-in-law would definitely not agree, and neither would I.
I have lived with Wei Hua all my life, and I have the best say in how hard life is for military wives. I don’t want Xiao Xue to live like this again.”
Mr. Zou, Liu Weihua and Liu Jianjun remained silent. They were all soldiers and their stance made it impossible for them to agree with what Wang Xiulan said.
But they were also very aware of the hardships of being a military wife, and emotionally, based on their feelings for Liu Jingxue, they didn't want Liu Jingxue to suffer those hardships.
Old Wu slapped his thigh in agreement, "Xiu Lan, what you said hits the nail on the head.
Life as a military wife is hard. It’s really too hard.
Take my daughter for example. Although my son-in-law and my in-laws are very good to her, she has suffered a lot as a military wife.
I also think that Xiaoxue should not marry a soldier. Wouldn’t it be nice to marry a man who cares about her and live a happy life together?
When it comes to contributing to the country, your Liu family has already contributed enough.
Besides, Xiaoxue has also made contributions. Her prescriptions, as well as the recipes for poultry feed, and the recipes for treating chicken plague and swine fever that she made for the production team, are not all contributions.
It's not just being a soldier or marrying a soldier that can be considered a dedication.
Wouldn't it be better to live a good life and contribute to the country at the same time?"
Wang Xiulan nodded frantically, "Brother Wu is right, Xiaoxue has contributed enough, there is no need for her to endure hardships and become a military wife.
We have to find her someone who can stay with her for a long time and take care of her."
Liu Jianjun smiled bitterly, "Mom, let's not talk about what kind of person my little sister should marry.
The real problem is whether our little sister can get married."
When Wang Xiulan heard that her second son had the guts to frame her niece in this way, she immediately became angry.
She rushed over and slapped Liu Jianjun, "You are such a heartless person, your conscience has been eaten by a dog, you dare to say that about your sister.
Why can’t your sister get married?
With your sister's looks, have you seen anyone more outstanding than her?
And your sister's abilities, I'm not bragging, are far better than yours. No man can compare to her.
If your sister wants to get married, there are so many people who want to marry her, so how could she not get married?
Not only can she get married, but she also has to marry into a family that treats her well.
We won’t marry someone whose character and talent are not outstanding.”
Liu Weihua, who had been silent the whole time, also spoke up, "Xiu Lan, it looks like this kid deserves to be punished.
How much force can you use your hands to hit someone? Find someone you can use your hands on and hit him harder.
How about I take off my belt and you use it to whip me so your hands don’t hurt.”
Zou Lao also said, "This kid is a little too proud. He actually dared to say bad things about Xiaoxue. He needs to be punished."
"Yes, Xiulan, work harder and deal with it more harshly.
But be careful not to hurt the wound on your chest."
Liu Jianjun was beaten so hard that he screamed. Seeing that the others were still fanning the flames, he was worried that they would come and beat him up, so he immediately shouted,
"Mom, that's not what I meant, wait for me to finish what I'm saying.
If my sister simply wants to get married, then there will be no problem. But if she wants to marry someone who is satisfactory and outstanding in all aspects, then it may be a bit difficult.
After all, with my little sister's abilities, it's hard to find a gay man who's more capable than her and of the right age."
"Just tell me if this is true." Liu Jianjun took the time to explain himself while blocking Wang Xiulan's slap.
He didn't dare to run away, for fear that Wang Xiulan would chase him in a hurry and accidentally hurt himself.
After hearing what Liu Jianjun said, Mr. Wu smacked his lips, pondered for a moment, and said to Mr. Zou and Liu Weihua,
“Why do I feel that what Jianjun said makes sense?
Our Xiaoxue is so capable. If she wants to marry someone who is more capable than her and of the right age, I'm afraid it's impossible.
It's hard to find a gay man in this world who is better than Xiaoxue.
We can’t just marry Xiaoxue off to someone casually, that would harm Xiaoxue.”
When Liu Jianjun heard that there was a way, he used his back to bear the slap from Wang Xiulan while shouting, "It's even worse to just marry someone casually. Xiaoxue said she won't settle for anything.
If she doesn't find someone she likes, she won't marry and will live alone."
"How can you not get married? What girl wouldn't want to get married?" Wang Xiulan became anxious when she heard this.
"You little bastard, you're talking nonsense again.
Your sister is so sensible, how could she say such a thing?
It must be you, a stinky boy, who said that."
After Wang Xiulan finished speaking, she was ready to continue.
"Mom, Mom, listen to me, I'm not just talking nonsense.
My sister really said it herself.
How could I possibly say something so irresponsible about such a big thing? "
"Mom, please stop fighting.
My sister also talked about other things.
Please stop right now so I can tell you everything my sister said.
When I heard what my sister said, I felt something was wrong.
But as a brother, I feel embarrassed to tell her too much.
And I think there is some truth in what my sister said.
Stop, I will explain to you what my sister said. Please help me think about it and see how to persuade my sister to give up the idea of not getting married.
Or maybe I'm thinking about what kind of partner I should find for her."
"Xiu Lan, why don't you stop first and see what this guy has to say.
If we are not satisfied, you can take action again.
If this guy doesn't tell us the truth and doesn't satisfy us, the three of us will join you in giving him a good beating." said Mr. Zou.
Old Wu also said, "Yes, Xiulan, stop first and let this kid talk first."
Wang Xiulan hit Liu Jianjun a few more times before stopping. "If you don't explain things to me today, I'll peel off a layer of your skin."
