Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724: Chapter 599: Marriage Proposal Rejected

Huang Cuilan listened and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, give it a rest. Didn’t even finish elementary school, how could my Xi Zi be interested? Besides, he’s still very young, I’m not worried about my son finding someone. What’s the rush? Don’t bring this up again, or my mother-in-law will be mad and say the Huang family is causing trouble, meddling in Old Zhang’s family matters."

Mrs. Huang said unhappily, "That’s my own grandson, why shouldn’t I interfere?"

Huang Cuilan found it hard to explain to her mother and didn’t want to. She kind of knew that Old Zhang’s grandsons were all very popular. With Uncle Xiao Wu in the family, plenty of people wanted to get close. Haven’t you noticed there are still many young girls out there, despite how old the kids’ father is?

"Xiao Lan, why don’t you meet that child first."

Talking with her sister-in-law was much easier for Huang Cuilan. She looked at her and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, how many benefits did you receive in return? If they bring it up, just say the boy is still young, and for his marriage, his grandfather has to approve. Tell them to talk to my father-in-law."

The Huang family’s eldest daughter-in-law was embarrassed and annoyed, saying, "You’re really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good person’s heart. I didn’t take any benefits. If it weren’t for my own nephew, I wouldn’t have bothered. Let’s see what kind of treasures your kids will find."

Mrs. Huang was unhappy to hear this. Talking is one thing, but who curses their own grandson? She glared at her daughter-in-law, "How can a matchmaker force marriage? What do you mean? What girl isn’t good enough for my grandson?"

The eldest daughter-in-law quickly slapped her own mouth and smiled obsequiously, "Mom, I was just speaking thoughtlessly. I really think that girl is great, it would be a pity to miss it. If I had such a suitable daughter, I would kneel to bring her to my child."

Mrs. Huang snorted, turned her head, and ignored this silly woman. If it weren’t for her own grandson, she wouldn’t have bothered to bring her here.

Thinking of this, she took her daughter’s hand again, patted it, and said warmly, "Don’t mind your sister-in-law’s words, nothing good comes out of her mouth. Leave Xi Zi’s matters to you, let your father-in-law decide."

Huang Cuilan smiled and nodded at her.

"Xiao Lan, there’s been something on my mind that keeps me up at night. Your eldest nephew should find someone, too. I just hope to live to see a grandchild sooner, but it’s tough..."

Huang Cuilan didn’t understand this. Her eldest nephew, apart from being a bit short, shouldn’t have trouble finding someone. Could it be a health issue?

Thinking of this, she quickly urged, "Mom, don’t worry. If he’s sick, we’ll get it treated properly. He’s still young, there’s plenty of time..."

Mrs. Huang’s mouth gaped wide... How could her own daughter not catch that allusion? Her eldest grandson was just fine, he could eat three big bowls of rice in one sitting, who said he was sick?

"Oh dear, silly girl. Your eldest nephew is perfectly fine, let me be blunt with you. Help Mom make a match. You won’t agree to Xi Zi’s matter, but for your eldest nephew, you have to help me, otherwise, I won’t leave."

Huang Cuilan patted her forehead, said helplessly, "You’re so cryptic, how could I guess? Who’ve you got in mind this time? Just don’t let it be some county official’s child, that I can’t manage. Also, have some realistic expectations. It’s not that I’m looking down on him, but without a job, the good families won’t say yes."

Mrs. Huang smiled and rolled her eyes at her, "Of course I know that. This family is much worse off than ours, they’re village girls. If you go, it’s sure to succeed."

"Who is it?" Huang Cuilan asked, bewildered.

Mrs. Huang stared into her daughter’s eyes and slowly said, "Your son-in-law’s uncle’s little daughter..."

Before she could finish, Huang Cuilan was startled and hurriedly patted her chest.

"What? They’re from the village, could they possibly be wronged? If the girl wasn’t pretty with a good job, she wouldn’t match my eldest grandson."

"Yes, Xiao Lan. Go talk to your auntie about it. If it works out, I’ll give you a big red envelope. Last time when the girl came to see your mother-in-law, your eldest nephew happened to meet her and liked her immediately."
