70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 165: Ximei’s Marriage Proposal

"Auntie nearly fell while walking on the field path." Yin Yang smiled and said.

"Exactly, just when Yin Zhiqing happened to be passing by and helped me." Li Caixia made a frightened expression, now she simply couldn’t like Yin Yang more.

"Is that so? Mom, are you feeling unwell anywhere?" Xu Mumu helped her mother inside to sit down.

"It’s nothing, nothing, I’m fine. Yin Zhiqing, please sit down. Mumu, go and pour a bowl of water for Yin Zhiqing." Li Caixia said nonchalantly, and then let her daughter go and pour water for Yin Yang.

"Got it." Xu Mumu said helplessly, what else could she do but go and pour water for Yin Yang.

Bringing the water to Yin Yang, watching Yin Yang drink gracefully, every move unlike ordinary people, it always seemed that the number of times she’d encountered Yin Yang had been increasing, how could this guy always help solve their family’s problems?

"Yin Zhiqing, thank you for bringing my mom back." Xu Mumu looked at Yin Yang.

"Just a small help, no need to be so formal." Yin Yang smiled gently.

"How can I not be formal, if not for you, I might have fallen into the ditch, and the child might not have been saved." Li Caixia immediately said.

"Auntie, it’s not that serious." Yin Yang said helplessly.

No matter how Yin Yang refused, he was still kept for dinner by Xu Mumu’s mother, and no one in the family seemed to mind at all.

Something seemed a bit strange, but Xu Mumu didn’t say much. Yin Yang indeed had helped their family a lot.

No matter how Xu Mumu thought, Yin Yang got along very well with the Old Xu Family.

While Xu Mumu was at home translating materials, she overheard her mother talking about village gossip, especially about the team leader’s family. Lately, the team leader’s family has been quite in the spotlight, firstly because Zhao Qing found a job. During the three-plus months since he graduated and returned home, he had been working. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Now, he found a job, seemingly in a steel plant, and it’s said the salary and benefits are quite good.

Secondly, the team leader’s wife let it be known that she was fetching suitors for Ximei.

Ximei was over two years older than Xu Mumu and long overdue for matchmaking, previously held back by her desire to marry Huo Qingze.

Unfortunately, reality gave her a resounding slap, sent to her grandfather’s house for reflection for a while, she finally accepted it, and only then did Ximei’s mother start arranging a marriage for her.

Now, Li Caixia no longer sees the team leader’s family in a favorable light, even if the team leader’s wife publicized, she didn’t join in, her son is now a worker in the county; naturally, he should marry a city girl.

Li Caixia holds high standards and looks down on the team leader’s family, but in reality, many people still wish to marry into the team leader’s family.

These days, people visit the team leader’s house every day. The team leader’s wife wants to choose a good son-in-law, so naturally, she won’t pick just anyone; she has high standards for family conditions and character.

Also, ever since Ximei had a crush on Huo Qingze, she held high standards for her future partner’s appearance, insisting her mother find someone good-looking.

Her own daughter, what else can the team leader’s wife do but aim for those who look a bit better. This girl truly has an ever-increasing standard.

If they had known earlier about her affairs with Huo Qingze, she and Zhao Guodong would never have allowed any contact between her and Huo Qingze.

Unlike the troubles at the Zhao Family, a few families in the team are starting matchmaking, for instance, Tiedan’s cousin Zhao Qian, there’s quite a number of marriageable girls in the village, among the teams, the conditions in the Red River Team are quite favorable, so the girls from the Red River Team aren’t worried about finding a husband.

There are even people coming to the Old Xu Family, seeking Madam Chen, trying to arrange a match for Xu Mumu, since the Old Xu Family conditions have greatly improved, not only is Xu Mumu pretty, but also a high school graduate, and most importantly, she has a brother working in the county.

She suddenly became sought after, leaving Xu Mumu quite at a loss.

All those seeking to match their sons and daughters were rebutted by Li Caixia; be it marrying or taking a spouse, her son was to marry a city girl, her daughter to marry into the county for a better life.

Not only did she think so, but Li Caixia also voiced such grand ambitions which deterred many who wanted to arrange matches for Xu Minghui and his sister.

Meanwhile, the team leader’s family is also troubled, the team leader’s wife looked at Zhao Guodong worriedly, "Child’s father, Ximei is so stubborn, the families I chose have such good conditions, and they’re not bad-looking either, but she stubbornly refuses. Where can I find someone as good-looking as Huo Zhiqing?"

"I think those families are pretty good, why do you agree with everything she says? Can good looks make a living? She’s not getting any younger, still so picky, what does she want, to reach the stars?" Thinking of their daughter, Zhao Guodong had a headache, though fortunately, their sons have already settled down.

"I’ve told her, and she doesn’t listen." The team leader’s wife felt wronged; she and Zhao Guodong are not people who judge by looks, surely it’s Huo Zhiqing’s influence that led their daughter astray.

In the small courtyard at the knowledge youth point, Huo Qingze, inventorying the stuff from the mountain, sat unaware of the blame shifted his way.

Then, Huo Qingze sneezed twice violently.

Finding a husband for Ximei didn’t take much time; the match was quickly settled.

The team leader’s family found a match for Ximei in the eldest grandson of the Red Star Team leader next door, who works in a cotton mill as a formal worker.

The match Ximei agreed to certainly wasn’t lacking in looks, and the final outcome left everyone satisfied.

Once satisfied, the following process was simple, and before long, the engagement was settled quickly enough to leave Xu Mumu in awe.

"Mom, did Ximei really get engaged?" Xu Mumu found it somewhat surreal, having just sent translated materials to the county and earning a small sum of money, leaving Xu Mumu in good spirits.

"Indeed, your dad even went for the meal, the team leader’s family is so generous, the meat in the dishes is more than other families’." Li Caixia mused, knowing her own family would never be so generous.

"Alright." Xu Mumu said helplessly, stretching lazily, Luo Yanrui had given her a week off, to rest a few days before taking on more translation work. Xu Mumu had no objection; her head full of English, German, French, and various technical terms, even without a professional dictionary, she could now translate easily, her skills had improved markedly.

After such intense work, she was a bit worn out, a week’s rest came just in time.

"When is Ximei’s wedding set for?" Xu Mumu asked curiously.
