Chapter 209: Not Your Perfect Match
Today, Li Zhiying also returned to her hometown to visit the graves. Her parents, uncles and aunts also came back.
The brothers in her family are all doing well. Zhiying's uncle is also a director of the water company, and her aunt is also a bank executive, so they are relatively wealthy. They had someone clear the grass from the grave early on, and her family just had to bring some things to pay their respects.
That's how rich people spend money.
Zhiying was wearing a simple light-colored outfit today, but her good figure could not be concealed. She was very eye-catching. Everyone gathered together and talked about their children. In the end, somehow everyone turned their eyes to Li Zhiying and started asking about her love life.
Because Li Zhiying is the youngest among her many cousins and the only one who is not married, Zhiying knows that she cannot escape this group and she is mentally prepared and just plans to be a mute.
Great uncle: "Zhiying, you have grown so big after not seeing you for a few years. You are getting prettier and prettier. When will you bring a boyfriend home so that your parents can rest assured and have a grandson sooner?"
Li Zhiying acted innocent.
Aunt: "Yes, Zhiying, you are the only one left. Your grandma nags you every day. When will you get married? Your grandma will be satisfied." Li Zhiying also has a grandmother who is very old and has always been in poor health...
Zhiying's mother was speechless and said, "If she had listened to me, she wouldn't have to stay in Bula City now."
Zhiying felt a little uncomfortable.
Cousin: "Mom, Dad, Aunt, don't worry. Zhiying already has a boyfriend. I've seen him. He's very handsome."
The eldest aunt was curious: "Really? That's great. Whose family is this handsome boy from? Is he Liu Jun? This boy is not bad. It's a good match for them, which is very important." The eldest aunt has always been single and she claims to be an elite woman who does not need a man to rely on.
When Li Zhiying heard people talking about her, she blushed so much that she almost wanted to bury her head in the ground and sleep with her ancestors.
Cousin Li Shuting immediately replied: "It's not that Liu Jun. What's so good about Liu Jun? He looks like a playboy. He is a colleague of theirs, and he seems to be working in a Butai County-level company."
The aunt was even more curious: "Who is that in a county-level company? Seriously, with such conditions, can he match our Zhiying?"
Li Zhiying quickly winked at her cousin, begging her to stop talking.
But the cousin was careless and didn't even look at Zhiying. She continued to talk without restraint: " She . She dresses very casually, but she is quite smart. She even opened a Taobao store and buys clothes with me."
The eldest aunt was not optimistic: "The family conditions are average. It is not easy for this person to enter our Li family."
The eldest aunt also frowned: "This grown man works and does business at the same time? He is so indecisive, how can he be trusted? Zhiying, you have to open your eyes and know people well. Men should be responsible, otherwise you will suffer in the future."
Aunt: "Yes, yes, yes, this person has a bad character, so there's no need to talk about anything else. You are the only daughter of your parents, how can they trust you to a man like this? Zhiying, how about I give you a tall, rich and handsome man, the son of the president of a big bank..."
Li Zhiying couldn't listen any longer, and replied unhappily with an unhappy look on her face: "Don't worry about me. Who I like and who I am with are all my own choices. Don't interfere."
This time, the eldest aunt began to criticize a little: "This won't do. Marriage is not just a matter between the two of you, it's a matter between two families. Our Li family still has a certain status. Zhiying, you can't marry a useless man. I would rather you be like me and stay single for life than ruin the family's reputation."
I guess we have found the reason why this old maid doesn't get married.
This was getting more and more outrageous. Zhiying felt very uncomfortable and couldn't stay any longer, so she went home early.
At this time, Zhiying's father, who had been silent all this time, got a little angry and said, "Stop talking. We in the Li family are not that noble. Zhiying wants to find a boyfriend . I just want him to be happy."
In the evening, during dinner, Zhiying was criticized by her mother for being impolite. She ran away after being scolded by her uncle and aunt today. They also asked her to break up with Chu Yang, saying that Chu Yang was immature and they were not suitable for each other.
Li Zhiying felt even more wronged and started to cry, but her mother still refused to give in: "I don't know what's good about this Chu Yang. You just like his handsomeness? I tell you, appearance is a cheap thing..."
Zhiying finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she ate a bite of food and ran away again, hiding in the room and sulking.
I couldn't confide in anyone, so I could only complain to my best friend Pei Yu...
In the evening, her father came in, sat beside her and said softly, "Zhiying, just eat a bite of dinner. You must be hungry. I have asked Auntie to heat up the dishes. You can go downstairs and eat later."
Zhiying looked at her father, feeling both touched and anxious, but she still said stubbornly, "Dad, I'm not hungry."
The father held his daughter's hand, sighed and said, "Zhiying, don't blame your mother for being angry and opposing your relationship with Chu Yang. Your mother is doing this for your own good. After all, you are her only precious daughter, and she doesn't want you to live a hard life."
Li Zhiying looked at him with resentment, and she leaned against him like a spoiled child: "Dad, Mom obviously dislikes Chu Yang's poor family, and thinks that I didn't listen to her and made her lose face. You have seen Chu Yang, right? Isn't he very talented? They said it would take three years, but he became the director in two years."
Zhiying's father smiled, and thought of Chu Yang. He looked at his daughter and said, "This guy is indeed talented, and his skills are solid, but..."
The father's tone was a little stern: "Your mother is right, this Chu Yang is indeed immature and a little too arrogant. How dare he, a county-level director, go against the vice president of the city company? What right does he have? This is obviously courting death. You probably think that I will take action because of your relationship. This is using you, and also using me. If it weren't for the problem with Mr. Miao himself, he would have packed up and left."
Li Zhiying couldn't defend Chu Yang in this matter. He was indeed too impulsive. Li Zhiying didn't know what Chu Yang was thinking at the time, but she still spoke up for Chu Yang: "Dad, this Mr. Miao is too much. I heard that he even insulted Chu Yang. Who can tolerate this?"
The father shook his head: "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. You think he is good now , but it is not so easy for two people to live together. Chu Yang needs to be trained more and his temper needs to be tempered."
Li Zhiying looked at her father, slightly puzzled, thinking to herself why do you always like to provoke other people's tempers? Young people are supposed to have some personality, otherwise everyone has that fake tone, which is really annoying to watch.
But she didn't say this, she just replied: "Dad, Mr. Wen asked me to be the deputy director of the human resources department."
My father didn't care: "Just be the job. You'd better go around the departments and learn more about the business. In two years, your mother will retire. Then you can come to the provincial government and gain grassroots experience."
Li Zhiying pursed her lips and said nothing more.
