Chapter 825 Another year
Chang Likun said somewhat unconvincedly. She knew that the Zhou family members all knew Chinese martial arts, but she did not think that Zhou Hao would be her opponent. It was not like she had not fought with so-called Chinese martial arts masters before.
In her opinion, those so-called martial arts masters are just show-offs.
After saying goodbye to Chang Likun, Zhou Tian drove back home.
Since we were going to have a big dinner in the evening, the food for lunch was a little simpler. Maybe it was because my mother-in-law said something after she went back home. In short, the atmosphere at lunch was still not harmonious.
After lunch, Zhou Tian deliberately kept Zhou Hao behind and asked the children and women to wash the dishes and clean up, while he took Zhou Hao to the study.
"Xiaohao, do you still remember Chang Likun?"
After the two sat down, Zhou Tian threw him a cigarette and asked.
"Chang Likun? Brother, are you talking about Chang Weijun, the daughter of Brother Chang?"
Zhou Hao took the cigarette, took out a lighter and lit it. When he heard his elder brother's question, he was startled at first, and then the image of a tomboy emerged in his mind.
"Yes, it's Old Chang's daughter. She's 21 years old and works at the Dongcheng District Public Security Bureau. She doesn't have a boyfriend, and neither do you. I think you two are a good match, so I went to Old Chang's house this morning to propose marriage!"
"What? Brother, are you kidding me?"
Before Zhou Tian finished speaking, Zhou Hao stood up instantly, staring at Zhou Tian, and said in disbelief: "No, brother, everyone is talking about free love now, did you discuss this with me? And it's Chang Likun, that tomboy, no, I won't agree!"
If it were someone else, Zhou Hao might not have refused so resolutely even if he was unwilling, but Chang Likun felt uncomfortable when he thought of the memory of the tomboy in his mind.
The main reason was that Chang Likun left such a deep impression on him. Not only did she climb trees with them to take bird eggs at such a young age, but most importantly, he had seen how ferocious she was when fighting. She was not like a woman at all. If he married a wife like this home, he was afraid that he would have nightmares.
"Snapped!"
Seeing his third brother's reaction, Zhou Tian's face darkened instantly and he slapped the table. The sound was so loud that even Wu Yue'e and Chen Yaning, who were still cleaning the table in the living room, were startled and they all turned their eyes to the study.
"Nonsense, look at what you are saying. What do you mean by tomboy? You should know that she is the daughter of your elder brother Chang. Besides, Chang Likun has both good looks and abilities, so why is she not worthy of you? For so many years, I have never cared about you, but what about you? Have you ever thought about looking for someone else?"
Zhou Tian stared at Zhou Hao and said with a cold face.
"But brother, I really don't want to get married so early, and to marry Chang Likun. No, no matter what I say, it won't work. Otherwise, brother, give me some more time, and I will definitely find someone, okay?"
When Zhou Hao saw that his elder brother was really angry, he began to compromise. He had been controlled by his elder brother since he was a child. Maybe his elder brother would spoil him on normal days, but as long as his elder brother was really angry, he would feel scared from the bottom of his heart.
This fear was not about being beaten by his elder brother, but about being disappointed in his elder brother.
"No, let's put it this way. I've already said hello to Lao Chang tomorrow, and Li Kun will come to our house tomorrow. Then you can try to get along with Li Kun. If you really feel that the two of you are not suitable for each other, I won't force you. How do you think it is?"
Seeing the grievance on Zhou Hao's face, Zhou Tian's heart couldn't help but soften. After all, he was his own brother, how could he harm him? But then he took a step back and made up his mind.
"OK then!"
After hearing what his elder brother had said, Zhou Hao lost his temper. Just as Zhou Tian thought, he did not think that his elder brother's arranging this marriage for him would harm him. It was just that he had never thought about getting married before. Perhaps this was his retribution.
After the two of them finished talking, Zhou Tian repeatedly asked Zhou Hao to promise to be at home tomorrow before letting him leave the study.
When Zhou Hao left the study and Zhou Tian was about to go out as well, Shen Yulin walked in with a worried look on her face.
"Boss, what's wrong? Xiaohao looks unhappy. Did you two brothers have a fight?"
"It's okay, I just found a partner for this brat and he's not satisfied!"
Zhou Tian shook his head speechlessly and said with a bitter smile.
"Whose girl is this?"
When Shen Yulin heard this, she immediately became interested. She wanted to ask about it in the morning, but her husband went out before she had the chance. Now she heard that her husband had found a partner for Xiaohao in the morning, how could she not be curious.
"She's the daughter of the old Chang family, you should know that!"
Seeing his wife's gossipy look, Zhou Tian told the truth without hiding anything.
"What? That's Old Chang's daughter, Chang Likun?"
Shen Yulin got the answer and asked with a look of shock on his face.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"What else? No wonder Xiaohao wanted to quarrel with you. If it were me, I would have wanted to run away. You know how tough Likun is. Although I haven't seen her for many years, she has been like a boy since she was a child. Aren't you afraid that she will bully my third brother if you do this?"
Thinking of Chang Likun's mischievous appearance when she was a child, Shen Yulin couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
People always say that one should marry a virtuous wife, but my husband actually wants to find a she-devil for my third brother. This is really outrageous.
"Come on, what do you mean by being like a boy!"
Zhou Tian listened to his wife's words and rolled his eyes at her. "Chang Likun doesn't look bad now. How can your aesthetic taste be bad? Besides, you can tell what Third Brother is like, right?"
"He's always so lazy. If he marries a virtuous and gentle wife, do you think she'll be able to control him?"
"this!"
Shen Yulin fell silent upon hearing this. Although she was reluctant to admit it, she had to think that her husband was right. Although Zhou Hao seemed like a good boy in front of Zhou Tian and didn't even dare to be disrespectful, she had heard a lot of things about Zhou Hao outside.
In short, Zhou Hao was not as harmless as she thought.
"Okay, it's settled. By the way, Li Kun is coming tomorrow, so we have to be ready by then, too!"
Having said that, Zhou Tian made the decision without waiting for Shen Yulin to say anything else.
Time passed quickly and it got dark. Zhou Tian did not go anywhere that afternoon. He was taking care of the children with Shen Yulin and Wu Yue'e.
Until about five o'clock in the afternoon, suddenly, with the sound of firecrackers, it seemed that the whole city began to wake up, and the sound of firecrackers suddenly became continuous and rose and fell with each other.
"Firecrackers are going off, firecrackers are going off!"
The cheers of children could be heard in the streets and alleys, causing several children who were already eager to move to run back!
