Zhang Ren's family conditions are not good, although his parents only have one son, but his parents only rely on farming for a living, so they did not save any money for Zhang Ren. So after so many years, Zhang Ren has always been single.
In fact, Zhang Ren also had a few girlfriends when he was working outside a few years ago, but as soon as they heard that their family was rural and poor, they left him one after another. In this regard, Zhang Ren was helpless.
Later, Zhang Ren's parents died of illness, and Zhang Ren was the only one left in the family, and he felt that he was too lonely, so he planned to find a daughter-in-law for himself, hoping to have someone to talk to him.
But at that time, Zhang Ren was almost 40 years old, and ordinary women were unwilling to marry him, so he could only lower the standard for finding a daughter-in-law, and it didn't matter if he got married for the second time.
It just so happened that in the past few years, there was a woman in the village who had lost her husband and was now living alone with her daughter. Zhang Ren inquired about the people in the village and learned that this woman's name was Xiaohan, and her daughter was now in her first year of high school, and she worked alone for her daughter to go to school.
After learning about Xiaohan's situation, Zhang Ren took the gift to Xiaohan's house, and then explained his intention. At first, Xiao Han was surprised, because her reputation in the village was really not good.
Xiaohan's husband was still very young when he died, and he died because of an accident on the construction site. But the people in the village are relatively feudal, so many people rumor that Xiaohan is a woman, Kefu, and no one will end well with her.
So Xiaohan was very surprised by Zhang Ren's arrival, she felt that in this village, there should be no man willing to marry her. Zhang Ren knew Xiao Han's concerns, and he told Xiao Han very clearly that he didn't believe them.
I'm looking for you to get married and live, and as for whether Kefu is or not, I'm not superstitious, so I won't believe that. If you can accept my family situation, I think we can get married and live together. ”
Listening to Zhang Ren's words, Xiaohan was very touched in her heart, but she still had some concerns. "My daughter is older, so she probably won't change her name to your dad now, can you accept it?".”
Zhang Ren didn't care about this matter at all, he felt that as long as he was good enough to Xiaohan's daughter, he would always hear that father's words, so he was not in a hurry and was not worried.
The more he listened to Zhang Ren's words, the more moved Xiaohan became, so he decided to promise Zhang Ren to marry him. But Xiaohan still has one condition, that is, she wants a bride price of 60,000 yuan.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ren was very surprised, and he didn't understand why she wanted so much dowry. Xiaohan knew Zhang Ren's doubts, so she explained to Zhang Ren.
I want this money, first, I want to save some money for my daughter, and second, I want to give some of it to my former parents-in-law. When they get old, I won't be able to take care of them anymore when I marry you, so I have to leave some money for them. ”
Zhang Ren was moved by Xiaohan's filial piety, so he agreed to Xiaohan's request and gave her a dowry of 60,000 yuan. The wedding was not a big deal, and the two got married like this.
Many people in the village said that Zhang Ren was stupid, and he was really stunned to spend so much money to marry a widow of Kefu. But Zhang Ren didn't think so, he felt that he had picked up a treasure.
After getting married, Xiaohan took on all the housework at home, cooked delicious meals for Zhang Ren every day, washed Zhang Ren's feet, and chatted with Zhang Ren. Seeing that Xiaohan was so virtuous, Zhang Ren felt that his choice was too correct.
What touched Zhang Ren the most was the change in his stepdaughter's name for herself.
At the beginning, the stepdaughter was really reluctant to call herself dad, and she was always called by Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhang. Zhang Ren didn't care, he knew that the child would have his own thoughts when he was older, and he never forced his stepdaughter to change his words.
Within a few years of their marriage, their stepdaughter went to college. On the first day of school, Zhang Ren and Xiaohan sent their stepdaughter to school together. In order to make his stepdaughter's life better at school, Zhang Ren also secretly stuffed his stepdaughter with a thousand yuan.
Looking at the money in her hand, her stepdaughter's eyes moistened, and then she trembled and said, "Thank you, Dad." Thank you for taking care of me and my mom for these two years, I know you are really for our good, so I am willing to call you dad now. ”
When the stepdaughter said the sentence "Thank you Dad", Zhang Ren was already stupid with excitement, he knew that his efforts in the past two years had finally paid off.
He hugged his stepdaughter with red eyes, and then said to his stepdaughter, "Good boy, good boy." Study hard at school, Xi have me at home, don't worry about your mother, I will take care of her. ”
The stepdaughter nodded firmly and entered the school. On the way home, Zhang Ren happily said to Xiaohan: "Nana called me dad!."He called me Daddy!”
Xiao Han was also surprised, but at the same time very relieved. "You deserve this Dad, Nana is very sensible, she knows that you are a good person. Xiao Han looked at Zhang Ren and said gently.
At this moment, Zhang Ren felt that he could marry Xiaohan as his daughter-in-law, which must be a blessing from his previous life. In fact, he never thought that he could have such a happy life before, but after marrying Xiaohan, he lived in happiness all the time.
Zhang Ren and Xiaohan glanced at each other, smiled at each other, greeted the sunset, and walked back side by side.
