BTTS 413

 Chapter 413. Good market


Zhang Mei Lian and Hu Zi made their way to the mall. She asked about a lot of things along the way.

Hu Zi didn't pay much attention to her. He felt that the woman's lip lock was a little bit broken. She kept talking all the way and always kept on inquiring.

One moment, she was asking him how many people were in the family. Then the next was his salary.

"Don't mind me for asking too much. Well, isn't it because I saw you're not bad. I want to introduce you to a girl." Zhang Mei Lian placed a smile on her face.

Only then, Hu Zi understood. A grown lad. Nineteen this year. If he were in the country, he would have to marry a wife.

So he became a little embarrassed and said, "No need. I will go back to the countryside to marry someone from that side."

"Huh?" Zhang Mei Lian was taken aback, "You will go home to marry a wife from the countryside in the future?"

"I have a household registration in the countryside, so I naturally want to marry someone from the countryside" Hu Zi explained honestly.

He never thought of marrying a girl from here, the capital. After all, the difference between urban household registration and rural household registration was quite extraordinary.

There were indeed girls from rural households who married into big cities and obtained urban household registrations. But girls from big cities, who married rural men, obtained rural household registrations.

Few were willing, so Hu Zi didn't give that option a thought at all.

Sure enough, he was an uneducated uncouth boy from the countryside. He had no ambition at all. However, she couldn't find anyone better than him at the moment.

"Household registration is only temporary. Not all girls dislike country guys. There are also some girls who don't care about this, as long as they are nice." Zhang Mei Lian said.

She felt that a girl from the capital like herself, who didn't mind him being a countryside greenhorn, was really hard to find even with a lantern.

"That's true. But it's too few. I don't think I can meet one." Hu Zi shook his head.

If he can marry a girl from the capital, it would be wonderful. Hu Zi wasn't stupid. After his baby is born, he/she will have a grandmaternal family in the capital. This was good for the child.

However, he was also realistic. It was okay if he can't marry a girl from the capital. It was the same if he went back to his hometown to marry a wife. He can bring her over then. All in all, he'll get someone to marry.

"You look pretty good. You should be able to meet someone. If a girl from the capital marries you, what can you give her?" Zhang Mei Lian asked.

Hu Zi was stunned and said, "I have nothing to give."

He only got a salary. Which was only right to give to his wife. But the rest, he indeed had nothing.

Zhang Mei Lian was hesitating whether or not to talk to him anymore.

The rural household registration was enough. This person was completely a wooden knot. He didn't get the hint at all.

And she could tell that there were many brothers in his family. So they were extremely poor.

Zhang Mei Lian hesitated.

She bought ten jins of flour and then brought it home. It was considered a luxury.

Mrs. Zhang who saw her buying back so much flour, the smile on her face became sincere. Seeing her expression, she asked, "What's the matter? The one from next door called Hu Zi gave it to you?"

"Sister-in-law, I'm wondering whether or not to continue with him." Zhang Mei Lian voiced her mind.

Mrs. Zhang said: "Why do you say this out of nowhere?"

"Sister-in-law, you don’t know. His family is very poor and there are many brothers in his family. This guy. Although he is tall, he is like a piece of wood. Not clever at all. Like this, how can I hope for him to come out and work for himself in the future?" Zhang Mei Lian responded.

Mrs. Zhang didn’t care about this, and said, “I’m not sure if he can come out to work alone. However, I do know that this year his aunt has given him a salary raise again. This salary alone is enough to feed you even if doesn't come out alone."

More importantly, once this relationship is established, she'll covet the salary there. When she becomes a relative of old Zhou family, they'll have to arrange a position for her anyway.

"But his person is not good, he has no ambition." Zhang Meilian frowned.

Mrs. Zhang mentally voiced if he was so wonderful and ambitious, would he set his eyes on you?

Have you not look at what your reputation had become? After dating so many guys and getting caught bringing so many people back to the dormitory.

The only thing you can take out is the capital's household registration. What else do you have to show for?

However, these words can't be spoken out directly.

Mrs. Zhang said: "With the way he is, it's still not bad. I think he won't do badly in the future. Also about having so many brothers in the family. Just don't go back in the future. It's no problem to rent a place here. There are other brothers. His uncle and aunt are capable. As long as he works hard, would he do badly?"

Zhang Mei Lian sighed.

If it weren't for negative encounters and those few won't marry her, would she fall to this state?

As for the local residents who want to marry her, their work weres temporary and their conditions at home weren't good. They were even worse than Huang Hu.

What was the use of having the capital's household registration?

"Don't think about it so much. He is very good like that." Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but utter.

She was still thinking that this matter had to be done as soon as possible. If Lin Qing He and Zhou Qing Bai knew about it, they might not be able to get approval.

After all, they wouldn't let their nephew marry someone like this, even when she got a capital's household registration.

Reaching this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help adding another sentence: "Also, Youngest Sister. Don't assume that he can't marry a wife. You know old Madam Xu's granddaughter, Chen Shan Shan. She is now working in the clothing store. Also, Ma Cheng Min's cousin called Ma Cheng Yue, who is about the same age as him!"

"Those girls. Would they set their eye on him?" Zhang Mei Lian said with a clenched heart.

"How can they not? His uncle has the ability and brought him here. If it succeeds, then their job will be stable. Both of them have salaries. His aunt will think of a way to transfer his registration in the future. Then, it'll be a veritable capital's household registration." Mrs. Zhang snorted. She felt that this sister-in-law slightly lack awareness.

Having such a marriage, what more did she want!

It was indeed not easy to transfer a household registration. It required a state-owned unit's approval and property before can the relocation was possible.

And it might not necessarily succeed.

Ma Cheng Min was able to come back at that time due to Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma nearly exhausting all their coffin money.

Hu Zi delivered the flour for Zhang Mei Lian and then went to his grandfather's side. Because he went a little bit frequently, old Madam Hu was familiar with him.

Old Madam Hu was very optimistic about Hu Zi. Although he was a bit tanned, one can tell he was very energetic at a glance.

She didn't dare to mention it to Mother Zhou. Mother Zhou was currently giving her silent treatment. So she went to find old Madam Zhu to talk about it.

Talk about what?

Naturally about Zhu Zhen Zhen.

  5. How can there be so many delusional characters in one novel?Since ancient times, I'll never understand "nobles" who look down on merchants but need their money. And then characters like Mrs Zhang, or 2nd sister in law, or the nieces who feel entitled to other peoples favour and assistance. All of them are repulsive.
