Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 509 - 48: Remarry Another One_2

Da Dan just reported the accounts last night.

In other words, now Teacher Xiao Zhou’s monthly salary is only enough for vegetables.

Finally, character.

When she was leaving, she hastily spoke well of herself, begging everyone to casually hand out the job. When the good thing didn’t work out, she turned back to hum and haw to get the job back...

No compensation in between, and not even a word of thanks.

This is really outrageous!

If it weren’t for her father being a martyr, and her brother now in the army, and considering how hard it is for Chu River to take care of 5 children, and Shi Suifeng offered proactively... otherwise, no matter what, it wouldn’t be her turn!

...

But the sisters-in-law introducing Zhou Hongfang over wasn’t done with any malicious intent.

After all, in these times, marriage is about matching equals, and there are multiple factors to determine if two people are compatible.

For example, Shi Suifeng often participates in missions in the team, and there are bonuses, the stipend is high.

And he is good-looking...

To be honest, if it weren’t for him persistently refusing, he could’ve had two or three kids by now, many girls in the team are secretly fond of him.

But then...

Everything started to change with those 5 kids.

Before even starting a family, he refused the apartment allocated by the team, and chose to live in such a remote big yard.

Then he brought back a sister from home who is said to eat like five grown men; even if she’s strong, how much can you earn farming in the countryside?

Who can afford that!

Originally, raising such a big-eating sister would have been okay if she were married off to someone.

Who would have thought he’d go on a mission and bring back three martyrs’ children — if you bring them back, you can’t mistreat them, everyday food and living expenses, which of these don’t cost money?

All of a sudden, the originally great conditions plummet to the bottom, even becoming a bit stretched.

And this isn’t over yet.

The sister even brought back two more kids from the home village, the specific reasons the sisters-in-law don’t know, in any case, the higher-ups seem to have acquiesced.

But with the state of Shi Suifeng’s family now, even if he found someone who was divorced, who would want to get married and immediately take care of 5 kids!

Even with Zhou Hongfang’s shortcomings and risks, firstly, she’s still a young maiden after all.

Secondly, no matter what, she is educated and now holds a job.

Outside, she’s quite sought after, only she’s now wary of getting caught in a scandal, just wants to find a place in the army to settle down, close by, and safe.

...

The above is all Zhou Hongfang’s mother shared heart-to-heart with Sister-in-law Li and them, just to make everyone willingly speak good words.

After all, although Shi Suifeng has 5 kids, three are boys, and in a couple of years, they’ll be able to work. When it’s time to marry, the army won’t just stand by idly.

Future work arrangements can surely lend a hand.

As for the two girls, they can help with housework, and in a few more years, they can be married off. They’re not his own, so if they don’t treat them well in the future, they’ll be criticized.

For old Aunt Zhou, there’s nothing more important than securing her old age.

Oh, and if Zhou Hongfang married in, had a couple of little boys, the 5 older siblings would help look after them, won’t they think of him for everything then?

Following this analysis, Teacher Xiao Zhou’s initial teary and shy mindset shifted.

It must be said, her agreeing at first was largely due to Shi Suifeng’s looks.

Now that the family said they’d help mediate, she didn’t refuse.

Just pondering:

"Mom, I gave the job to his sister before, then took it back, he’s not going to make me suffer for it, right?"

"Don’t worry about him!"

Aunt Zhou poked her daughter’s silly head: "What’s more important, a sister or a wife? Can’t you persuade him when you’re pillow-talking? Besides, his sister might eat a lot, but she’s strong too, if there’s heavy work at home, having someone to help you isn’t a blessing?"

"She’s 16 already, in a couple of years she can find a match, how’s that going to affect you?"

"Let me tell you, don’t think Shi Suifeng is just an ordinary squad leader, look at your brother, he once slipped up, saying something about following Captain Shi on a mission..."

"That time, your brother came back and stayed in the hospital for half a year, then immediately got promoted... think about it, to lead their missions, could Shi Suifeng be simple?"

"I guess it’s because there are often secret missions, so this title hasn’t been publicized."
