Rebirth of a Village Girl novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510: 140: Training Class, Lady Shangguan exposes the true faces of Lin Fang and her mother_2

“That’s fine.” Shangguan Dehui quickly put down his chopsticks.

Lin Fang is the kind of woman who knows how to manage a household, and that’s precisely what he’s lacking: a wife. That’s how their relationship stands.

“Since you’ve said it’s fine, then it’s good.” Madam Shangguan hesitated for a moment and then continued, “Dehui, you’re of age now, and Lin Fang isn’t a young girl anymore. When you have some free time, bring her home for all of us to meet, and let’s settle the wedding date early.”

“Mom, we can’t simply settle such matters all of a sudden!” Shangguan Furong jumped in, “What does that woman do for a living? Is she worthy of my brother? Don’t let him marry a woman with ulterior motives.”

Shangguan Furong graduated from a postgraduate program, and the Zhou family is a traditional aristocratic family. Therefore, she always carries around an air of arrogance and particularly values equal social status in marriage.

She does not want a sister-in-law unfit for public appearances.

Shangguan Xi said with a smile, “Auntie, rest assured. Aunt Lin comes from an educated family, and even has a scholar among her ancestors three generations ago. Aunt Lin is also quite accomplished, she’s currently teaching in a kindergarten.”

Shangguan Furong nodded, “An educated background is good. Your father has always been an excellent student, and if he marries any woman with just a junior high school education, it would not only be unsuitable, but they also wouldn’t have common topics to discuss.” Besides, being a teacher is a respectable job.

In 1980s China, besides workers, there were three other prime professions.

They were doctors, teachers, and public servants.

Shangguan Furong has a higher level of education, so she could accept cultured people more easily.

“Was that woman married before? Or has she always been single?” Shangguan Furong then asked.

Shangguan Xi replied, “Aunt Lin was married once before, but her husband died in a car accident a few years ago. She’s been living alone ever since. She has a daughter named Chang Yue, who is eighteen this year.”

Shangguan Furong said, “It’s okay if it’s a girl, she’s bound to get married sooner or later anyway.” If it were a boy, she would have to worry about whether he will compete with Shangguan Xu for an inheritance.

“Does she have any other family members?” Shangguan Furong continued.

Shangguan Xi replied, “Oh yes, Aunt Lin also tends to her sick, bedridden mother-in-law.”

Shangguan Furong slightly frowned.

Madam Shangguan chuckled and said, “Having a bedridden mother-in-law isn’t a problem, we can just hire a caregiver when the time comes. What I value the most is Lin Fang’s character. Her willingness to care for her sick mother-in-law for many years without complaint shows that she is not a bad person.”
