Chapter 2053 Haiyan Gets Engaged
After Zhang's mother brought her daughter home, she didn't even bother to cook dinner. She pulled her daughter into the room and began to ask about the conversation in detail.
Zhang Haiyan knew her mother was worried, so she didn't hide anything and told her mother the important parts of their conversation.
After hearing this, Zhang's mother's expression relaxed a little, and she was obviously satisfied with Song Xiangqian's performance.
"Yanzi, I think Song Xiangqian is a man who knows how to deal with things. Just like you said, his family members are simple. You can be the master of the house after you marry him. If you agree, I will reply to Wang the matchmaker, and our family will also be ready."
Zhang Haiyan didn't feel embarrassed and nodded immediately:
"Mom, I think it's good. I agree."
"Okay, I'll take care of the rest. Song Xiangqian will ask you out in the next two days. Don't be shy. Go around with him. If it's really not suitable, there is still room for maneuver."
"Mom, I listen to you."
"Okay, I'll go talk to Wang the matchmaker. You cook dinner first, so that your father and your brother won't come back to complain to me. Really, children are all debts!"
After saying that, Zhang's mother hurried out.
Zhang Haiyan changed out of the blind date clothes, put on old clothes, rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.
When Zhang's father got off work and Zhang Haijun got home from get out of class, Zhang's mother hadn't come back yet. Zhang Haiyan had already prepared dinner and put stir-fried potato shreds and cold cucumbers on the table. She was serving corn porridge.
Zhang's father looked into the kitchen and asked:
"Yanzi, where is your mother?"
"She went to see Aunt Wang."
Zhang Haiyan put three bowls of porridge on the table.
"Okay, save some food for your mother. We'll eat first and don't have to wait for her."
"Dad, don't worry, I've saved it all."
After that, the three of them ate dinner in silence.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them finished their meal and Zhang Haiyan began to clean up the table. Zhang's father then said:
"Yanzi, how was your blind date today?"
As a father, Zhang's father still cares about his daughter.
Zhang Haijun, the younger brother on the side, deliberately dawdled and didn't do his homework, and also wanted to hear the result of his second sister's blind date.
Zhang Haiyan glared at her younger brother with amusement, and then said:
"Today we met in a state-owned restaurant, and after dinner we went to the park for a stroll.
Song Xiangqian is 1.78 meters tall. Except for being a little thin, he has a good appearance and good manners. I also met his only sister, who looks very well-behaved.
Mom said he is a little smart guy, looking forward to his brother getting married with his sister-in-law. He is a sensible child who will not be a drag. I talked with Song Xiangqian for an afternoon and I think he is pretty good."
After listening, Zhang's father nodded and said:
"That's good, as long as you make your own choice, we as parents can only help you check. How you live your life depends on you."
Zhang Haiyan nodded immediately and said:
"Dad, I know, in fact, if it weren't for the matter of going to the countryside, I would have liked to stay with you and mom for a few more years, at least to help mom share some of the burden."
"I'm glad you have this intention."
Zhang's father is not the kind of person who exploits his daughter to raise his son, so it doesn't matter if his daughter marries early or late, he just hopes that his daughter can have a good home.
Zhang Haiyan had just finished washing the pot when her mother came back. She quickly heated up the food for her mother and put it on the table, so that Zhang's mother could have dinner first.
Zhang's mother drank a bowl of porridge with cold dishes, and then said to the three people who were waiting for her to continue:
"Song Xiangqian is very satisfied with our Haiyan. He said that he wanted to get engaged first, and then discuss the wedding date with our family. He asked us to mention the gift first, and he would try his best to prepare it."
Zhang's father smiled after hearing this, and nodded:
"It seems that the young man is very sincere."
Zhang's mother also smiled and said:
"It seems so, but our family is marrying a daughter, not selling her, so I am not going to ask for a lot of money for the gift. It's okay. Let Yanzi take all the gift given by the Song family back, and I hope he will treat Yanzi better."
"Well, I have no objection, let's do it this way."
After the family meeting, Zhang Haiyan's marriage was basically settled.
When Zhang Haiyan was engaged, her elder brother and sister-in-law also came back with their two children. Song Xiangqian brought his sister and went to Zhang's house with matchmaker Wang.
After learning that Song Xiangqian was a purchaser of the supply and marketing cooperative, the elder brother Zhang Haitao was obviously much more enthusiastic about him. His son and daughter also pestered Song Xiangqian for candy, and were finally yelled out by Zhang's mother, who secretly glared at Lin Hongxia.

Both of them are selfish people. Since they got married, Zhang Haitao has focused on his family. Everyone can understand this.
But after the eldest family moved out, they still wanted to take advantage of the things and resources in the hands of Zhang's father and mother, and wanted to get them into their own bowls. The elder sister-in-law Lin Hongxia was also a stingy person, who only wanted to take advantage but didn't want to take a penny.
In her previous life, these two people sucked Zhang Haiyan's blood, which allowed the three ungrateful people to take advantage of her and ridicule her. They often said that she emptied her father's money to subsidize her brothers from her mother's family. At that time, Zhang Haiyan took into account the relationship between brothers and sisters and could only bear it herself.
In this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with this family. After getting married, they were two families. It didn't make sense for her, as a sister, to support her brother's family. If she had to support someone, she would support her own parents.
When Zhang Haiyan sent Song Xiangqian and his sister away, she told him about the situation of his eldest brother Zhang Haitao's family and expressed her attitude:
"Brother Song, you just need to get along with my eldest brother's family. There is no need to have a deep friendship. If he asks you to do something, don't agree. If he takes advantage of you once, there will be countless calculations waiting for you in the future.
You don't have to worry about my face. Be tough when you refuse. My parents also know his problems, so they separated him and lived alone. Don't let him have the opportunity to stick to me."
Song Xiangqian is not stupid. He felt it when he was having dinner before. Zhang Haitao's family is not welcome in this family, especially when Zhang Haitao knew that he was a buyer, he was hypocritical and self-centered. They were brothers, and he felt uncomfortable just thinking about it. Now that his future wife had spoken, he naturally followed her instructions:
"Okay, I feel relieved when you said that. Before, I was indeed hindered by him being your elder brother, so I couldn't say it too bluntly."
Zhang Haiyan immediately waved her hand and said:
"It's okay, try to be blunt and unpleasant to Zhang Haitao, otherwise he will pretend not to understand and continue to pester you."
"Okay, I know."
Song Xiangqian immediately agreed with a smile, which made him more satisfied. He married a wife to live with her, not to let his wife empty the family to support her brother from her mother's family.
"Then I won't send you off. Let's take Xiaohui to climb the mountain this weekend."
Zhang Haiyan didn't hesitate and proposed a date plan for the weekend.
"Okay, I'll rest on the weekend. Tell me what you need to prepare in advance."
"Okay, I'll tell you then."
The two reluctantly parted ways. After Song Xiangqian left, the neighbors around knew that Zhang Haiyan was engaged.
On the other hand, Chen Aidang's blind date journey was not smooth. Although he was a widower, he had three burdens around him and a baby who was only one month old. It was so obvious that his purpose of marrying a wet nurse was to find a wet nurse, and any woman with brains would stay away from him. This was also the reason why Zhang Haiyan was forced to choose Chen Aidang in her previous life.
