Chapter 125: Fool the father-in-law again.
"That's right."
Old Zhang Ren began to lose his mind and muttered quietly, "My son-in-law is marrying into my family. I agree to marry into my family? No, no."
"I don't agree to marry into the family? Hey, hey! That's not right!"
"Emma, do I agree to marry into the family or not? Hey! Hey! That's not right either."
The father-in-law was so anxious that he rubbed his hair with his hands, his scalp was almost smoking, and he grabbed Hou Jie who was about to leave and asked him questions.
"No, how can this be? Didn't I agree to this because you looked a bit silly and threw a lot of money on the table? It's not a loss anyway. That rich man who doesn't marry a wife but asks to marry into the family is a fool!"
Hou Jie pretended to be angry and left the scene quickly. He took the excuse to scold his father-in-law and left.
"You are the fool!"
The father-in-law was left standing there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. But he always felt that something was wrong. What went wrong?
The father-in-law clapped his hands suddenly and understood.
"Hey! I understand. It was you who proposed to marry into the family. It has nothing to do with me!"
He hurriedly looked for Hou Jie, and at this moment, his figure was still there.
Hou Jie would never tell him that he came here just to marry into the wife's family and to have a happy life in the future. It would be easy for him!
Hou Jie walked into his familiar and friendly house. Although the space was not spacious, it was filled with a strong atmosphere of life and the warmth of home.
The daughter-in-law was concentrating on making clothes, the silver needle in her hand moving between the cloth skillfully and delicately.
The sunlight was shining through the window, and through the half-open window, you could see her focused face reflecting the radiance of motherhood.
There are several pairs of shoe sole samples next to her. The family's daily chores and farm work are all waiting for her to take care of, which is indeed very busy.
Hou Jie's mind flashed with the aggrieved and helpless look of his father-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel a little amused. He knew that his daughter-in-law had a strong personality, after all, the root of the trouble was himself.
I didn't want to see my father-in-law being blamed too much for this matter, so I decided to step out to ease the atmosphere and say a few fair words for him.
Hou Jie reminded his wife softly, "Wife, I think our father seems to have admitted his mistake this time. Can you please let it go for my sake? To be honest, this is not a big deal and it's not worth taking it so seriously."
After hearing this, Mu Chunhua was still angry, but seeing Hou Jie's sincere eyes, she nodded and compromised: "Okay, since you said so, I will do as you say. I will forgive him this time."
As she spoke, she looked eagerly at Hou Jie, her eyes revealing deep expectation, "By the way, I have something I need your advice on."
Hou Jie asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Mu Chunhua paused for a moment, then slowly said, "It's like this, my best friend Baofeng is still single, and I want to introduce her to someone. Do you have anyone suitable?"
Hou Jie pondered for a moment, thinking about the right person, and explained to Mu Chunhua: "Well, I do know a lot of single men. What do you think of Zhang Dalong? If he is suitable, we can arrange a blind date for the two of you first."
"Since you've asked, I have to give you some face and find the best one."
When Mu Chunhua heard Hou Jie mention Zhang Dalong's name, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in her eyes: "It seems that we are in sync! I was also thinking of bringing Baofeng and Zhang Dalong together."
Hou Jie nodded: "Zhang Dalong is now a rising star in the upper class of the city. If we are late, I am afraid that someone else will get there first."
Therefore, Hou Jie decided to take immediate action and flattered Zhang Dalong at the same time: "Then I will mention this matter to Zhang Dalong tomorrow and arrange a blind date for them as soon as possible. This is a big deal! I can't let you lose face. You are the eldest in our family."
Mu Chunhua was filled with joy when she heard her husband's sweet words. She couldn't help but nod her head gently, with a happy light in her eyes. She thought to herself, "My husband has other talents, but he is good at talking and coaxing people with all kinds of tricks. He makes me happy every day."
You know, there is a reason why she would rather deal with her father than him when it comes to such a big matter as marrying into the wife's family.
Just imagine that your sweetheart speaks sweetly and is handsome, how could she bear to punish him?
Thinking of this, Mu Chunhua couldn't help but smile slightly.
She smiled sweetly and praised: "Hubby, you are so nice."
Hou Jie was very happy to hear his wife praising him. He gave her a thumbs up and looked very proud.
"Wife, it's a must."
"Puchi, husband, you are becoming more and more shameless,"
The next morning, Hou Jie and Mu Chunhua walked through the bustling vegetable market and came to their own yard.
Hou Jie looked at Mu Chunhua who was so attentive in arranging a blind date for her best friend, thought for a moment, then walked aside and told his men to call Zhang Dalong over.
In the quiet study, Zhang Dalong sat opposite Hou Jie as instructed by the boss. The boss's eyes were as sharp as torches, as if they could see through everything, making Zhang Dalong feel uncomfortable all over, not knowing whether to sit or stand up.
He leaned forward slightly, placed his hands on his knees, and tried his best to maintain a correct posture, but the uneasiness and tension in his heart made him unable to calm down.
Hou Jie seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice Zhang Dalong's uneasiness. Zhang Dalong could only bite the bullet and try to make himself look more natural. The feeling of embarrassment surged like a tide, making him feel a little at a loss.
"Boss, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm scared when you look at me like that."
"What happened today? How about I report to you on the progress of the matter?"
Hou Jie shook his head and said, "That's not necessary. I called you today for another matter."
"Da Long! What do you think of your sister-in-law?"
Zhang Dalong knew that his sister-in-law was the boss's concubine. He didn't realize how many people had died in the city because of this. He couldn't let the boss misunderstand.
He was so scared that he stood up and answered cautiously and tremblingly, "Boss, I have absolutely no improper thoughts about my sister-in-law. I swear to God."
Mu Chunhua who lived next door was very curious. Like a cat catching its prey, she hid quietly behind the thin wall and secretly listened to the conversation between the two.
She moved carefully, leaning against the small table connecting the two rooms, her movements light as if she was afraid of disturbing this sudden secret. She gently put down the teacup in her hand and listened attentively to the movement on the other side.
Just as Mu Chunhua was listening attentively, Zhang Dalong's words exploded in her ears like a thunder. She was caught off guard, and the water in her mouth that she had not yet completely swallowed suddenly spurted out as if startled. The crystal clear water droplets drew an elegant arc in the air and finally splashed on the table.
This sudden situation caught her off guard, and she burst into a series of coughing sounds, like a nightingale startled by a sudden noise, short and sharp.
Hou Jie couldn't help but smile happily when he heard his wife's voice, while Zhang Dalong looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to deal with this sudden incident.
"You're thinking too much. What good things can you expect?" Hou Jie joked.
"Tell me what you think of your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law lives next door. If she says something good, it means good things will happen." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, and it was obvious that he was deliberately teasing Zhang Dalong.
Zhang Dalong became even more nervous. He was about to refuse, but Hou Jie's boss glared at him. He had no choice but to start thinking about how to describe his sister-in-law.
He knew that this was a problem that he could neither offend anyone nor deal with casually.
