Chapter 173 Finally agreed (page 12)
He Yuzhu did not expect that Xu Zhaodi would say such words, but his heart was as steel and there was no way he would be affected by Xu Zhaodi's words.
Maybe Xu Zhaodi wanted to make He Yuzhu feel uncomfortable, but it can only be said that Xu Zhaodi's efforts were in vain.
When He Yuzhu returned to the tavern, he was visited by He Yongqiang and his son.
Lao Hetou asked a little angrily: "Zhuzi, who did you introduce to him? His father is actually a robber?"
"Yes, Zhuzi, I haven't offended you, right? Why did you introduce the daughter of such a family to me?"
He Yuzhu asked the two of them to sit down, poured some good tea, and then said, "Listen to me, this is not what the rumors say. That incident was a bit unexpected."
"What accident can happen? The Public Security Bureau has already made a verdict. Xu Zhaodi's father is a robber. According to you, could it be that the Public Security Bureau made a mistake?"
"You guys, you only know that he is a robber, but do you know who he robbed?"
"Who?"
He Yuzhu said: "His robbery was just an accident. In fact, it was just for revenge."
He Yuzhu then talked about the grievances between Xu Wood and Yi Zhonghai. Of course, he talked about Yi Zhonghai's unrighteousness and cheated Xu Wood several times.
Xu Wood was angry for a moment. He burned the sack and beat him on the way, and snatched away the things Yi Zhonghai had taken.
He Yuzhu asked: "Most of the other robbers were sentenced to more than ten years in prison, but your father-in-law was only sentenced to four and a half years. This is because Xu Wood was only seeking revenge and did not really want to block the road and rob."
What He Yongqiang inquired about was none of this. He only knew that Xu Wood had been sentenced to prison for robbery.
He muttered: "He is not my father-in-law yet!"
He Yuzhu said: "Leave aside Xu Wood's imprisonment, tell me, what is it about Xu Zhaodi that is not worthy of you?"
"This"
He Yuzhu said: "Xu Zhaodi graduated from high school and is still working in a machine repair shop. She is also pretty. If her father's affairs hadn't delayed her, do you think such a beautiful girl from the city could fall in love with you from the countryside?"
He Yongqiang didn't know what to say now.
Since ancient times, city people have looked down on mud-legged people from the countryside. Although He Yongqiang also has a registered permanent residence in the capital, he was born in a rural area and did not even finish primary school. He is uneducated. This is his flaw.
Lao Hetou was also exhausted mentally and physically for this son. After struggling for a long time, he finally felt that what He Yuzhu said was right.
Although the girl's father was sentenced, he had little relationship with his daughter and had no influence after she got married.
Besides, Xu Zhaodi is pretty enough, capable, and educated enough to leave the tavern to He Yongqiang to run. Before, she always felt that something would go wrong and that He Yongqiang was not capable of running the tavern well.
That girl Xu Zhaodi may be a virtuous housekeeper who can help protect the family business and keep the tavern running.
Lao Hetou made up his mind: "I have wronged you Zhuzhu. You are right. She is a good girl. You can contact her later. Our family has no objection. You can arrange the marriage."
"Dad!" He Yongqiang was still a little unwilling to be arranged to get married like this.
Lao He coughed a few times, then covered his chest with his hands and said:
"The girl is worthy of you, what else are you dissatisfied with? Besides, I don't have a few good days, so I have to hurry up and get married for you, so that I can feel at ease."
"Dad, what are you talking about? You will definitely live a long life." He Yongqiang quickly expressed his loyalty.
"What's the use of living a long life if you can marry a wife so that the He family can continue the family lineage."
Lao Hetou confirmed the marriage as soon as it was finalized. The following is the process. The first thing is to get the horoscopes of the two people. After He Yuzhu found the husband to show them.
After looking at it for a long time, the husband said with some embarrassment:
"The horoscopes between these two people are not very good, they are a bit conflicting."
He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat. If the two couldn't get married because of the horoscope problem, wouldn't all his efforts be in vain?
"Is there any way to resolve it? Both men and women are very satisfied."
"There is a way to resolve this." The gentleman just said that, and then he did not go on to explain the solution.
He Yuzhu thought to himself, he didn't know whether what he said was true or false. This could be regarded as a way to get red envelopes, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
He Yuzhu took out a red envelope and said, "Sir, please pay more attention to help them resolve this problem."
"Okay, this is what we have to do."
The husband told me how to solve the problem, which was to take out a red cloth bag and stuff it into the pillow when we get married. After a month, there will be no problem.
He Yuzhu thanked him repeatedly and came out with the red envelope. Halfway through, he took out the red cloth bag and threw it into the smelly ditch nearby.
These are all feudal superstitions. They are not mutually reinforcing. They are all lies. He Yuzhu doesn’t believe it. The gentleman said it nicely, and he is not asking for a red envelope.
After returning home, I told both families that there was no problem with both of them, and the matter was over.
Next is a series of processes such as placing a small order.
He Yuzhu, the matchmaker, took the time to borrow a tricycle from the police station and rode to the back door of Xueru Silk Shop.
After coming in, he said: "Today I will take you to visit the Ming Tombs of the Great Wall."
"Okay, are you free today?" Ye Qingmo asked.
"Yes, I've finished my family affairs and I'm not in a hurry about the matchmaking. I borrowed a three-wheeler today to take you for a ride."
At that time, Jiefang Hongqi had not yet rolled off the production line. Let alone cars, even jeeps were not capable of production. Most of the cars in society were leftover from before liberation. There are also a small number of gases imported from the north after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
He Yuzhu's ability to borrow a three-wheeler is already a good car accessible to ordinary people.
The weather has gradually warmed up, and it’s a great time to go out on a three-wheeler and enjoy the sunshine.
It was rare for the three of them to travel together for a day. When they were leaving, He Yuzhu asked, "Hasn't Elena finished the train yet?"
If you want to sell silk cloth to the furry bear country in the north, you need Elena to handle the domestic freight, but she has never been able to coordinate well.
Chen Xueru said: "Elena said it's almost done and she will leave soon."
The three of them talked about business for a while, and He Yuzhu took his leave, seeing off the three rounds before returning home.
Said to Xu Huizhen: "I will be leaving in two days, please be careful at home."
"You want to go abroad too?"
"Of course I'm going. Give the goods to Elena. She doesn't have so much money to pay for it, so I can only escort it. What if she embezzles our money?"
At the beginning, Elena's request for goods was relatively small. After all, she did not have strong capital.
Later, when He Yuzhu joined, he used his family's savings to invest in shares, and Chen Xueru also used most of his family wealth to purchase the goods together.
Later, in order to support He Yuzhu, Ye Qingmo also released a batch of goods, which led to the scale of this batch of goods to be several steps higher than before.
There were enough goods for two wagons, which made Elena smile from ear to ear. She also got a commission from the sale of the excess.
