Chapter 159: Aunt 3, is there a cramp in the corner of your mouth?
The news of recruiting a son-in-law has spread, and the threshold of the Shen family has been almost broken these days. One or two people are trying hard to promote their own children.
Of course, Mr. and Mrs. Shen were looking for a son-in-law for their granddaughter, and the "good guy" mentioned by the aunt and the lady was naturally not a reliable young man.
The people introduced here are either those who spend all day in the village being followed by cats and dogs, or those who are lazy and gluttonous, or those who have bad tempers, or those who beat their wives.
Some came with the intention of robbing the whole family, after all, everyone knew that Shen Shuyu received a pension every month.
In addition to the pension, she also receives a package every few months, and will have a job when she reaches adulthood next year.
Regardless of what Shen Shuyu looks like, these conditions are very tempting.
Although being a live-in son-in-law doesn't sound very good, but you can eat well and don't have to work, just thinking about it is a wonderful life. Those lazy men who want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor urge their elders to come and propose marriage.
Everyone praised their younger generation to the skies, calling them the best guys in the world.
The Shen family's courtyard was bustling with activity, with a group of aunts and grandmothers surrounding Old Lady Shen.
Mrs. Chen at the end of the village said, "Guifang, we have been sisters for so many years, and I watched Shuyu grow up.
I have always treated her as my own granddaughter, and have always hoped that she would find someone who understands me. Don’t you think this is a coincidence?
My sister-in-law's family has a nephew who is tall and strong.
The young man is hard-working and obedient. I think he is a good match for Miss Shuyu. I will bring him here for you to take a look tomorrow?"
Old Lady Shen: "How old is that young man this year?"
Mrs. Chen slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, she is only in her early 30s, only a few years older than Shu Yu.
If a girl wants to get married, she should find someone a few years older, because an older man will know how to be caring."
Old Lady Shen never believed the nonsense that people only know how to care for others when they are older. She grasped the key point and asked, "In the early 30s, is it -, or -?
Why haven’t you found a wife yet? Is there something wrong? "
Old lady Chen looked a little unnatural, but she still praised him, "He's only... 39, not even 40, what can go wrong with a tall and strong young man?
That is to say, he is very picky. He doesn't like ordinary people. As he keeps picking, he will get older.
I told him about Shu Yu's situation, and the kid was very satisfied with her."
Li Caixia sat beside him, eating melon seeds and rolled her eyes. "I said he was so lucky. Your sister-in-law's nephew is already 40 years old.
To be frank, he is already an old man, how can you have the nerve to introduce him to my niece, even though he is from the same village as you?"
Mrs. Chen was furious. "What do you mean by forty? I said thirty-nine. Thirty-nine, how come I'm an old man?"
The old lady who was also here to promote her own youngsters was bullying Mrs. Chen.
"Mrs. Chen, you are too rude. Shu Yu is only seventeen.
You introduce an old man to her right away. Isn't that an insult to her?
There are plenty of young guys, why would she choose an old man?
Guifang, let me tell you about my nephew from my mother's side. He is 25 years old.
He has a handsome appearance and is as tall as your Jiabao. Last month, he got a job as a worker in a factory through his aunt's family. This kid has a bright future.
If he becomes your son-in-law, he will definitely make Shu Yu happy."
Li Caixia spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth and said, "Third Aunt, you sound like your nephew is willing to become my son-in-law.
My eldest niece seemed to have gotten a great deal. With her conditions, she doesn’t need to rely on anyone and can live well on her own.”
"That's not what I meant!"
"That's what I heard."
"you……"
She obviously wanted to live a good life by relying on her eldest niece, but she acted like her eldest niece got a great bargain.
When Li Caixia heard unpleasant words, she directly retorted, and several aunts and sisters were so angry that they left.
There were also a few aunts and sisters who were in a hurry to go home to cook as it was almost lunch time, so they went back after finishing their conversation.
Li Caixia was a little angry, "Mom, look at the people they introduced. We are looking for a son-in-law, not just any cat or dog."
It's really annoying that he wants to introduce everything to his eldest niece.
Old Lady Shen was very calm. She had expected all this. "It's nothing. If there's a good young man, we'll find out more about him.
If you don't think it's okay, we can just chat and have fun."
Zhang Cuicui’s idea is the same as her mother-in-law’s. It is not easy to find a satisfactory son-in-law, and it takes time.
Liu Pandi didn't say anything. These days, she almost laughed out loud when she heard those old ladies and mothers-in-law promoting their own children at home.
Shen Shuyu, that little bitch, is usually arrogant and domineering. If you go against her, you will always suffer.
Now, when it comes to finding a son-in-law, she finally sees the joke on herself.
Shen Qiu sat opposite her and saw Liu Pan's mouth twitching, as if he wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.
She took out a shoe awl and said caringly, "Aunt San, is there a cramp in the corner of your mouth?
How about I give you two injections? I have learned some medical skills from the barefoot doctor, and it should be enough to cure your mouth cramps."
The shoe awl was thick and long. If she pricked them, it would definitely hurt. Thinking of the scene of her using the shoe awl to prick the Wu family, Liu Pan couldn't help but shudder.
She covered her mouth with her hands, "No... no need to prick, the corner of Aunt San's mouth is fine."
She was careless. If she wanted to laugh, she should have gone back to her room to laugh.
Liu Pandi was afraid of being pricked, so he patted his butt and said, "I still have clothes to wash. I'll go wash them first."
Shen Qiu took the shoe awl back with regret. Li Caixia was helpless because her daughter carried the shoe awl with her every day.
"How can a little girl like you carry a shoe awl around with you every day?"
Shen Qiu spoke with reason, "The soles of my shoes are prone to tearing. I carry a shoe awl with me, so I can fix the soles at any time."
Li Caixia: “…”
Shen Shuyu didn't know how busy the house was these days. She went out early and came back late every day. It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening when she got home.
Old Lady Shen didn't want Guaibao to hear how weird the people everyone introduced were.
The rice was ready, so I took the bowl and went to wait for everyone under a big tree in the village. Most of the dishes recommended by everyone were not very good, but there were a few that sounded good.
Old Lady Shen went to inquire about it, and then she stopped thinking about it.
Shen Shuyu saw her grandmother busying around, and after taking a bath, she came out to help old lady Shen massage her shoulders and back.
"Grandma, just spread the news about recruiting a son-in-law and that's it. You don't need to go out of your way to find out about the people they introduced. I don't want to get married yet."
Shen Shuyu has strong hands and is good at massaging shoulders. Old Mrs. Shen enjoys it. She squinted her eyes and smiled, "Grandma knows you are not in a hurry, but if there are outstanding young men, we can consider it."
