Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 252: World of Ages 4: "Good In-Laws"

Zuo Hongge also knew that he was in the wrong, so he worked hard day and night, never letting anyone else in the family do anything. He took care of everything inside and outside, which helped his reputation improve to a certain extent!

Now that her husband's family has finally come to her and needs money, if she can take the initiative to lend her the money, she will be able to hold her head high in her husband's family in the future.

Apart from anything else, at least I don’t have to be a workhorse like before!

Xie Hehua didn't care about that: "Don't you know whether your family is rich or not? Don't you see that your brother is still unmarried? Don't you think about your brother?"

She said this with confidence, but Zuo Hongge didn't buy it.

"Mom, I asked for a lot of betrothal gifts when I got married, and I gave all the money to my brother to hire a part-time job. Although it cost the family a lot of money, he has been working for so many years, so he should have saved some money!"

Xie Hehua was relentless, "Don't say such nonsense. He's saving his money to marry a wife! Besides, looking at our family's financial situation, who would be willing to marry here if he didn't pay a little more for the bride price?"

Seeing that things were falling apart, Zuo Hongge could no longer care about so much: "Mom, just think of it as me begging you. I'm lending you this money. I will definitely pay it back later, okay?"

Zuo Hongge didn't want to do this either, but she had already made a promise with her in-laws that she would definitely borrow money from her parents! If she went back empty-handed, she didn't know what kind of ridicule she would face.

After such a long marriage, she still hadn't gotten pregnant. Furthermore, she had no dowry at the time, which made her in-laws very unhappy. If she couldn't even handle such a small matter, then she would have no status in her in-laws' family!

But Xie Hehua just picked up the chopsticks and started eating calmly, but she said without any hesitation: "No money!"

Zuo Hongge gritted his teeth viciously, not even bothering to eat, slammed the door and left.

Seeing that the fight between the two was over, no one else said anything, especially Zuo Zhizhi, who just acted like a mute.

Xie Hehua, however, was like a victorious rooster, eating with her head held high, not daring to stop moving her hands for a moment, for fear that she would not eat enough.

Zuo Zhizhi pretended that she didn't exist. She didn't even dare to extend her chopsticks. She only dared to eat the cabbage stalks in front of her. She didn't finish her meal until she quietly returned to her room.

Zuo Zhizhi quickly finished her homework after entering the room and lying down at the desk. At this time, Xie Hehua's roar came from outside: "Hurry up and turn off the lights! Doesn't electricity cost money?"

Zuo Zhizhi quickly agreed, turned off the light, and then lay down in the quilt in the dark.

But I couldn’t sleep at this time, so I could only close my eyes and think about today’s problems.

After all, this is a real wall blocking our way, and we must not be careless!

After all, Xie Hehua’s words today are still ringing in my ears, and I absolutely cannot ignore them.

The eldest brother Zuo Aiguo is not young this year, but he has not yet gotten married.

The biggest reason is that the family has spent almost all of their savings to buy him a temporary job. Although there is still some money left at home, it is definitely not enough.

What's more, the whole family is squeezed into this small house and there is no room for him to get married, so he can only delay it like this.

Of course, this is definitely not a long-term solution!

After rejecting Zuo Hongge's request to borrow money, Xie Hehua glanced at Zuo Zhizhi vaguely, and even Zuo Aiguo's gaze turned to her.

Although it may be a coincidence, there is no such thing as a coincidence in this family!

If she guessed correctly, these people must be planning to sell themselves!

In this era, it is common to not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, but Zuo Zhizhi has space, so she will naturally add more food to herself.

In addition, the clothes I wear are washed regularly, so they are clean, tidy and elegant.

The most important thing is that my appearance can definitely be called a beauty.

Look, isn’t this a coincidence!

My eldest brother is old enough to get married, but he has no money and no house to live in.

But at this time, a sister like him happened to appear.

She has excellent academic performance, is beautiful, and is liked by everyone.

If I find a "good in-law family" for myself, I can not only solve the problem of my eldest brother's wedding house naturally, but also have money to help him get married.

Even the parents' jobs might be changed. Not to mention how easy it would be, at least the salary would increase slightly!

Originally, Zuo Zhizhi hadn't thought of this, but when she saw their eyes, she immediately thought of this possibility!

It is even possible that they have already agreed to wait until I graduate to get married!

Thinking of this, Zuo Zhizhi could no longer sleep.

After all, now is not the time to talk about this. We must find out carefully what they are up to!

The next day, Zuo Zhizhi seemed unaware of anything and went to school as normal.

But after school, he refused Gu Jiqing's invitation to go out and play, and instead activated his long-lost invisibility skills and went back to investigate the matter.

After all, Zuo Hongge came back yesterday, so they will definitely discuss it today.

Unexpectedly, when Zuo Zhizhi returned, she found Xie Hehua and Zuo Aiguo talking.

"Mom, how's that going?"

Zuo Aiguo asked anxiously, after all, this matter concerned his descendants!

"Keep your voice down." Xie Hehua patted Zuo Aiguo gently, making sure there was no one else around before whispering, "Don't worry, Director Zhang has already made an agreement. They've seen Zhizhi's appearance and are very satisfied!"

Zuo Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried: "But it's a bit late to wait until she graduates. Should we do this in advance?"

Xie Hehua shook her head. She had thought about this, but since she had already raised the girl to this age, it wouldn't matter if she waited another year.

It would be embarrassing to let her drop out of school and get married early.

It’s better to wait until after graduation.

By that time, she would either go to the countryside or get married. Seeing how she was so lazy and ignorant at home, it was definitely impossible for her to go to the countryside.

At that time, bringing Director Zhang out would naturally be a good choice.

"Don't worry, Director Zhang has already made an agreement! After all, they have two children, so most people would really have to think carefully!"

Zuo Aiguo curled his lips, obviously not taking this matter to heart.

Xie Hehua glared at him. "Put away your little thoughts! You know, Zhizhi is married, so they are a family. If you say anything in Director Zhang's ear, you can forget about your job!"

"Mom, don't worry, I get it! Besides, there's nothing wrong with Director Zhang. Although he's a bit old, Zhizhi's body is so good that she won't have to have children if she marries him!"
