Chapter 49: The Ideal Eldest Daughter-in-Law
Chapter 49: The Ideal Eldest Daughter-in-Law
The young woman standing in the middle was about 1.62 meters tall. Her clothes, though clean, had several patches of various sizes, indicating that her family's financial situation was not very good. After all, when girls went to the market, they usually wore their best clothes, and if the best clothes had patches, it was easy to guess their family's economic status.
Her figure was somewhat obscured by the old-fashioned, slightly oversized patched clothes, so it was hard to comment on whether she was well-built or not.
What caught Deng Shirong's eye, however, was her beautiful face and those expressive, large eyes. Standing next to the other two girls, they immediately became the supporting cast.
To be honest, Deng Shirong had seen many beautiful women in his previous life, both in real life and on his phone. But the beautiful women he had seen in real life were mostly makeup experts, and the ones on his phone were even more so, enhanced by makeup and filters.
This was the first time in both of his lives that he had seen such a naturally beautiful face, completely unadorned.
At the sight of this pure, unaltered beauty, Deng Shirong made a decision in his heart: she would be the ideal choice for his eldest son's wife.
After making up his mind, Deng Shirong began to think about how to approach and get to know this young woman. Despite being an elder, he was still a middle-aged man, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to casually approach a young, beautiful girl.
A thought crossed his mind, and he leaned over to his eldest daughter, Deng Yuzhen, who was eating noodles, and said in a low voice, "Yuzhen, after you finish your noodles, try to get to know the pretty sister at the next table. Find out her name and where she's from, okay?"
Deng Yuzhen had been focused on her noodles and hadn't noticed the three girls at the nearby table. Hearing her father's words, she turned her head and immediately saw the pretty sister her father was talking about. She turned back and asked in a low voice, "Dad, why do you want me to get to know her?"
Deng Shirong said, "Yuzhen, don't you think it would be great if we could bring this girl into our family as your eldest sister-in-law?"
Deng Yuzhen suddenly understood. She turned to look at the pretty girl again, and even as a woman, she had to admit that the girl was truly beautiful. If her brother had a chance to marry this girl, he would be over the moon.
" Dad, that's a great idea. I'll finish my noodles and then go talk to her."
Sitting beside them, Deng Yunzhu had overheard the conversation between her father and sister. She also looked at the pretty sister a few times and genuinely thought she was beautiful. Having such a beautiful sister-in-law would be a dream come true for her.
Deng Shirong nodded and continued eating his noodles, silently praying that the girl wasn't already engaged. Otherwise, it would be a great disappointment.
Soon, Deng Yuzhen finished her noodles. She wiped her mouth and face with a homemade handkerchief and then picked up a small stool to sit next to the pretty sister. She smiled and said, "Sister, how do you tie your braid? It looks so beautiful!"
The three girls, who were eating noodles, turned to look. Seeing that the speaker was a young woman around their age, they smiled warmly.
The pretty girl smiled back and said, "I just tied it casually!"
Deng Yuzhen replied, "I've tied braids before, but mine never look as natural as yours."
The pretty young woman ate her noodles gracefully while teaching Deng Yunzhen how to tie her braids. By the time Deng Yunzhen had learned, they had already become quite familiar with each other.
Seeing the moment was right, Deng Yunzhen introduced herself, "Sisters, my name is Deng Yunzhen. I'm from Naye Village in Bangjie Brigade, Songshan Commune. I'm 19 years old. Where are you from?"
The pretty young woman smiled and replied, "We're from Boxin Village in Xinghua Brigade, Longtan Commune. My name is Zhang Xiuping, and I'm 20 years old. These two are my cousins. This is Ou Guofang, also 20, and this is Ou Guohua, who is the same age as you."
After the introductions, they began to chat casually.
Deng Shirong had been keeping a close eye on the situation. Seeing that his daughter had successfully befriended the girls, he felt a weight lifted from his heart. With their names and addresses, he could secretly investigate them later.
While he had been eyeing the beautiful future daughter-in-law, he knew that looks were just one of his criteria. He needed to find out about her personality and her reputation in the village. Only if everything checked out would he take action to arrange the marriage.
Despite his efforts to slow down, Deng Shirong had already eaten nearly half his noodles before the girls arrived. It didn’t take long to finish the rest.
A couple of minutes after he finished, the three girls also finished their noodles.
Deng Yunzhen saw them wipe their mouths with handkerchiefs and asked, "Sister Ping, are you planning to go home?"
Zhang Xiuping nodded, "Yes, we’ve been out for most of the day. It's time to head back!"
Deng Yunzhen sighed, "That's a shame. I was hoping we could hang out a bit more."
Zhang Xiuping smiled, "If we meet again next time, we can hang out together!"
While she said this, she knew the chances of meeting again were almost zero. It was just a polite remark.
However, Deng Yunzhen, who had a plan in mind, didn’t see it that way. She smiled and nodded, "Sister Ping, let's make that a promise. We'll see each other again if we have the chance!"
"Sure, let's see each other again if we have the chance!"
With that, Zhang Xiuping and the others got up and left, quickly disappearing into the crowd.
Deng Shirong had not approached them the entire time. Once they were gone, he walked over and asked, "Yunzhen, did you find out where they're from and their names?"
Deng Yunzhen smiled, "Yes, I did. Her name is Zhang Xiuping, and she's a year younger than my brother. She's from Boxin Village in Xinghua Brigade, Longtan Commune."
Deng Shirong memorized the name and address, looking in the direction the girls had left. "I'll find some time to go to Boxin Village in a couple of days and gather some information. I need to know what people think of her in the village and if she’s already engaged."
Deng Yunzhen looked hopeful, "I hope she’s not engaged. I just chatted with her, and she seems to have a good personality. She would be easy to get along with as my sister-in-law."
"We’ll see if your brother has that kind of luck!"
Deng Shirong sighed and then waved his hand. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late. Let's hurry and buy some fabric!"
