Chapter 245 Going to Zhou's House
245 to Zhou's house
Sun Mei continued: "Furthermore, if the Zhou family's wife is really good and reasonable, it is not impossible for us to fulfill this marriage. If it is not good, we have to let the fifth child know and let him cancel marrying Zhou. It's the wife's decision."
Zhao Guifen couldn't help but nodded, feeling that what Sun Mei said made sense, and then said: "Then I'll have to find ways to find out more, that matchmaker, she can't be trusted."
The main reason is that the Zhou family is quite far away from the Sun family. The Sun family has no relatives or friends in Zhoujiazhuang, so all the information is obtained through the matchmaker.
"Zhoujiazhuang?" At this moment, Zhao Dong suddenly muttered.
Sun Mei looked at her husband-in-law and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Zhao Dong shook his head, he thought about Zhoujiazhuang, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I remembered, I seem to have a brother in business, and his hometown is Zhoujiazhuang."
Sun Mei was pleasantly surprised: "Really?"
Zhao Dong nodded: "I should remember correctly. When I kept the accounts, I was worried about the duplication of names, so I would record their information. I remember that there is Zhoujiazhuang. I will go back and look for it."
Zhao Guifen also nodded again and again: "That's a good relationship, young master, see if you can drag him to ask us what's going on with the girl of the Zhou family this week."
Sun Mei nodded: "Mother, don't worry, there are still a few days before the engagement, Zhao Dong and I will go back and look for it together."
Zhao Guifen nodded, but her heart was still scratching, it wasn't a good feeling.
Back then, the youngest daughter had a dispute with her because of her marriage, which finally caused a rift between their mother and daughter and separated them for many years.
If the mother and daughter are separated, the daughter can live well, and she won't feel so uncomfortable. But her daughter's life is simply not human, and she still doesn't know it, and she feels annoyed for a while.
Now, the younger son's marriage is also having disagreements, which inevitably makes Zhao Guifen worry.

After Sun Mei and Zhao Dong said goodbye, they went back non-stop, looking for someone to inquire about the situation.
Zhao Zhitong did not go with his parents, but stayed behind, insisting on going to Zhoujia Village with his uncle.
After getting ready, Sun Youcai took Zhao Zhitong with him and drove away in a bullock cart.
It was a certain distance to Zhou's house, and Zhao Zhitong fell asleep on a bumpy journey. After arriving at the place, Sun Youcai woke up Zhao Zhitong.
Zhao Zhitong, who was awakened, opened her eyes and saw an unfamiliar environment around her. Her eyes were sleepy, and she obviously didn't wake up.
Habitually searched around, but didn't see Sun Mei, she pursed her mouth and felt aggrieved and wanted to cry: "Mother, mother..."
Hearing the little girl's cry, Sun Youcai hurriedly picked her up and coaxed her up: "What's the matter, are you sleepy? Take a look, I won't let you come, you have to pester her. Okay, okay , stop crying, my little uncle will take you to eat delicious food later, okay?"
After being coaxed by Sun Youcai for a while, Zhao Zhitong realized belatedly that she followed her uncle to Zhou's house.
However, at this time, her head was in a daze. From the senses, she felt that it was the next morning, but in fact, it was the afternoon of that day.
The illusion of time made her a little depressed. So, he hugged Sun Youcai's neck, lay on his shoulders, and became dazed motionless.
Seeing that the little girl stopped crying, Sun Youcai hugged the little girl in one hand and knocked on the door with the basket in the other.
At this time, the Zhou family is also busy.
Old man Zhou was scolding his youngest son who owed money to others because of gambling: "You won't change after repeated admonitions, you just won't change after repeated admonitions. How many times have I told you, don't gamble, don't gamble, you just don't listen!"
Zhou Hai knelt on the ground, also crying tears and nose: "Father, it's useless for you to scold me now. They said that if I don't pay any more, I will cut off my son's hand!"
Old man Zhou’s face was trembling with anger: "You are scared now, why don’t you think about the consequences when you gamble, cut it off, let them cut it off! If you cut it off, you won’t gamble."
Zhou Hai was too scared: "Father, you have to save your son, I don't want to have my hands chopped off."
Then he went to beg Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, mother, please save my son, I can't live without hands!"
Zhou Pozi wiped her tears, with a look of resentment: "Tell me about you, why do you want to get contaminated with that thing again, twenty taels of silver, where did our family get so much money!"
Zhou Hai knelt down and came to Mrs. Zhou's side, hugged Mrs. Zhou's leg: "Mother, there is still a future brother-in-law scolding. Their family is rich, and the brother-in-law likes sister so much. Let sister ask for it, and he will definitely give it."
Old man Zhou picked up the broom angrily: "You're going to **** me off. Now that your sister hasn't married yet, you will start asking for money. Don't you want your sister to marry?"
As he said that, he was going to fight Zhou Hai.
Seeing Zhou Hai screaming for his mother, Mrs. Zhou began to soften her heart. She rushed over to protect her son, and shouted: "What are you doing, don't beat me, don't beat me, you broke my precious son, how can I pass on the family line to you?" !"
Then he said: "Hai'er is right. The Sun family is so rich, only twenty taels of silver is not much. Meiniang, you can go and find that Sun Youcai tomorrow. If you cry, I will definitely give it to you." gone."
The fists in Zhou Meiniang's cuffs were all clenched into fists: "Mom! How can I want it? If I let him know what my younger brother looks like, this marriage may be ruined again!"
Mrs. Zhou was furious: "You are stupid, why tell him the truth, use other reasons, say that you want some gold and silver jewelry, if he values you, these things should be given away!"
…
Just as the Zhou family was in a mess, someone knocked on the courtyard door.
Mrs. Zhou stood up and asked, "Who is it?"
Then, I heard Sun Youcai's voice outside the door: "My aunt is me, Youcai."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the yard was shocked, and old man Zhou hurriedly put the broom away.
Granny Zhou also hurriedly pulled Zhou Hai up and tidied up his clothes.
"Ah, here we come, here we come." Mrs. Zhou responded, looking at Zhou Meiniang, signaling her to ask for money.
Zhou Mei turned girlishly and entered the room.
—
The door opened, and Sun Youcai politely called out to Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie."
"Hey, Youcai, you are here, come in, come in." Mrs. Zhou had a smile on her face, and enthusiastically led Sun Youcai into the yard.
Sun Youcai: "There are still things in the car."
Mother Zhou hurriedly called out: "Hai'er, help your brother get to that thing."
Zhou Hai responded, ran out, and then saw a potted plant on the car, scoffed in disgust, and then picked it up.
Sun Youcai handed the basket in his hand to Mrs. Zhou, which contained a piece of bacon.
Seeing the meat, Mrs. Zhou burst into a smile instantly, but her mouth was evasive: "Hey, look at you, just come here, what else do you bring, it's really strange."
After speaking, he smiled and looked at Zhao Zhitong, who was lying motionless on Sun Youcai's shoulder, and asked, "This is?"
Sun Youcai smiled: "Auntie, this is the daughter of my elder sister's family. I heard that I am coming, so I insisted on coming to see it."
Then he patted Zhao Zhitong on the back lightly: "Tongtong, call me."
But at this time Zhao Zhitong was feeling uncomfortable, twisted his body, snorted, unwilling to move.
