BTTS 477




 Chapter 477. Sudden prospective marriage


Naturally, Xu Sheng Mei scolded Xu Sheng Qiang.

How much brain power did she spend to get her brother over? She wanted him to come here to become slightly successful. This he could bring her glory and let her husband's family know her maternal wasn't without a developed brother.

Who could have known, her brother was so impulsive.

Forget winning glory right now, it really lost her face. What made her angry was that she told him to come over to old Zhou's house to explain that it wasn't his intention to fight. It was the girl's cheating his feelings.

It didn't matter whether she was playing with his feelings. In short, he just had to pour the dirty water away, so it didn't get on himself.

However, her brother didn't even come over!

"Why should I go? They don't care about me. They look down on me. Am I going to get scolded?" Xu Sheng Qiang said angrily.

Xu Sheng Mei was really going to be pissed to death.

Why can't he use his brain? Why Zhao Family did leave them a few degree of face? It was all due to old Zhou Family.

It didn't matter if old Zhou Family looked down on their siblings. Old Zhou family was their only support now!

So they had to go to old Zhou Family to explain. Can't let the other side be disappointed in them, or how will walk their path in the future?

But Xu Sheng Qiang just won't come.

So, Xu Sheng Mei had no choice but to bite the bullet and come alone.

"Where is Qiang Zi?" Mother Zhou, who was waiting in the shop, asked with a black face.

"Qiang Zi was beaten a bit badly. He's still lying on the bed at the moment." Xu Sheng Mei thought of an excuse when he came over: "What Qiang Zi did had really disappointed me. Grandma, I didn't sleep all night because of him last night!"

"Didn't sleep all night? Weren't you delighted about bringing him here? How long had he been here? Got into a fight twice in a row. Don't you know what kind of place the capital city is? It's no wonder your uncle and aunt didn't agree to let him come. Hu Zi and Gang Zi came here for so long. Have they caused trouble?" Mother Zhou exploded.

"Grandma, I know. After the last time, I had told him to study hard and not to make trouble. But you don't know. When it comes to this matter, the girl is the troublemaker." Xu Sheng Mei explained.

"What does her making trouble have to do with Qiang Zi? Why didn't Gang Zi and the others fight? Rotten meat and flies. Can't talk about each other!" Mother Zhou coldly snorted.

"Yes, that's correct. That woman thought Qiang Zi's family is rich, so she pasted herself. But when she found out Qiang Zi is from the countryside, she split up with Qiang Zi. Grandma, you know how difficult it is for us, who come from the countryside to get in the city? They all look down on us." Xu Sheng Mei said with red eyes.

Aunt Ma, who was washing the dishes, didn’t like to hear these words: “What city folks looking down on country folks? Aren’t Wang Yuan and Er Ni doing well? How did it become looking down?”

"Granny Ma, it's different. Our country girls marry in the city. is easier. After all, they don't need to move their household registration to the countryside. But it's not easy for rural youth to marry girls from the city. My brother finally matched with her and treated her wholeheartedly. However, she flipped her face with a head turn. It's no wonder my brother became so impulsive." Xu Sheng Mei explained.

"Your brother is at fault in this matter. Your brother didn’t explain it clearly to her from the beginning. After being honest, then date if they want. Your brother didn’t and the other party found out he got a rural household registration. What's wrong with flipping face? Isn't it because she was cheated by your brother? What? Can't let the other party be displeased?" Aunt Ma didn't hold back.

"That's right. With the way Qiang Zi is, if a girl in the village can fancy him when he goes back then it's not bad. He still dare to come to the capital to find a partner? What does he think he is? Hu Zi and Gang Zi dared not think of finding someone in the capital. Both of them are good!" Mother Zhou threw out.

She felt that this granddaughter was simply high-handed and low-eyed. Even want to come to the capital to find a partner. If the other party knew, would they agree?

Xu Sheng Mei did not expect Aunt Ma to ruin it. She originally used the urban-rural gap to gain sympathy from her grandma. Unexpectedly, Aunt Ma made such a strong intervention. The direction of the matter changed.

"Old Sister, don't say it like that. Hu Zi is a good young man. I don't know if you are interested, old Sister. If you are, I wanted to pair Hu Zi with Shan Shan." Aunt Ma brought up.

Originally, Mother Zhou got a stomach full of fire and her mind couldn't catch up with Aunt Ma's sudden change of direction. Soon, she understood Aunt Ma's thoughts.

"Oh, what do you mean, old Sister?" Mother Zhou's attention was attracted by her.

"Shan Shan ah, my old Sister Xu's granddaughter. She's about the same age as Hu Zi. She's working in the clothing store now. Qing Bai and Teacher Lin both know her. I was wondering if Hu Zi is interested. If he is, then I’ll go to old Xu’s house and mention it.” Aunt Ma grinned, “Old Sister Xu and her daughter-in-law, that is, Shan Shan’s mother, works in the small workshop right now.."

Aunt Ma's words didn't make waves when there was no wind. It started from old Xu's side. Old Madam Xu had spoken to her in private and wanted her to help probe old Zhou's stance.

They can forget about Bei University student like Zhou Kai. Old Madam Xu had self awareness. Still, old Madam Xu had set her eyes on Hu Zi.

This was Zhou Qing Bai's nephew. What's more, he was a decent young man. Though he was tanned, his appearance wasn't bad. Nor was he short. More importantly, he was a hardworking man.

Even though he got a rural household registration, look at what age it was now. It was opening up. Even when one have no household registration here, they can come here to rent a place.

Besides, it won't always like that in the future. If they have that condition, they can also transfer it over to here.

When old Madam Xu asked Aunt Ma about Hu Zi's situation, Aunt Ma said it was pretty good. That's because Aunt Ma came into contact with Hu Zi and the group more than old Madam Xu.

Aunt Ma had mentioned that the only shortcoming was the rural registration. It wasn't really discrimination, but the household registration issue was indeed a big problem. It was the same in every era.

Old Madam Xu doesn't care about this. Now Chen Shan Shan reached the age and there was no suitable match in the surroundings. It went without saying old Madam Xu began considering this aspect.

Aunt Ma found a rare opportunity and conveniently brought it up.

So Mother Zhou's focus went from condemning her grandson to another grandson's marriage.

Xu Sheng Mei also didn't expect this change. Her expression eased, but at the same time she gritted her teeth. Why can't her brother marry a girl from the capital? When it came to matching Hu Zi to a girl from the capital, her grandma was so happy?

    1. Lol XSM is so blind, I don’t know how to categorize her anymore. Look at her brother bringing shame onto herself, and she still wonders why he’s not worthy? Delusional 🤣
      Thank you for the chapter 🥰❤️

      1. Yeah, right? Huzi kept his head down, worked hard, and didn't touch any girls with shady motives while still studying at school. Xu Qiang Zi couldn't work without getting a fight, and now apparently he couldn't go to school without getting into a fight either!

        What, everyone has to be so impatient to marry their daughters to him? ����

    8. Why is this girl sooo fond of this scum brother of hers? tbh she would've been very much better off in her ambitious dream if she had dumped off this waste. She should accept the fact that her brother is a lost cause. Moreover,she should explain her intentions and schemes to her brainless brother and not just expect the other party to be as smart as you. Same for her husband's case where she didn't even bother to explain a bit for separating and just scolded him internally.

    10. I do think there is a bit of bias against XSM and XSQ withe regards to how Mother Zhou and MC treat their wish to marry into the city. Even if I agree with their stance to not stand next to them when shit hits the fan, Mother Zhou went too far when she said XSQ’s rural registration was too inferior to marry into the city while simultaneously promoting Hu Zi. No doubt that XSQ isn’t match worthy, but it’s because the rural registration is a negative for both XSQ and Hu Zi, but Hu Zi makes up for it with his ability and temperament. But Mother Zhou never states this explicitly. Of course XSM is going to be upset at this bias.

      1. Isn't that the common "bias" which was faced by every villains and villainess in many CNs? No one ever patiently explained to them which part of them were wrong and why it was wrong. Not even the protagonist who's supposedly the hero/heroine of the story. At most, they would speak in riddle. Many of them don't even care to give explanation for various reasons (but, in short, they think it's useless to explain those things to the villains/villainess). But, most of all, they did what Mother Zhou and LQH did. 🤷‍♀️

        Uhm, is telling Sheng Mei that her brother fights everywhere not a direct explanation why they don't like him? I think it's been said
        over and over again no? What is more direct than that?

        "Patiently explain" that's funny. You need to consider the other sides temperament. I can list some of the times that LQH had a heart to heart talk with her nephews and nieces, but that doesn't count because they are good people?

        I didn't know we have to bend over backwards to cater to crooked people in our lives. You are a saint, cause I could never.
