Zhang Baogui came home sporting a black eye, startling Mother Zhao so much that with a pained expression, she asked her son, "Baogui, what happened? Did someone hit you for no reason?"
Upon hearing that her own younger brother had been bullied, Mrs. Xu instantly erupted, slapping her thigh and exclaiming hot-temperedly, "Who hit my brother? I'll beat them to death."
Zhang Baogui, looking guilty, lifted his head to face Mrs. Zhang and blurted out, "Mom, I'm getting married."
Mrs. Zhang had been furious at first, that her son was hit, but she was taken aback upon hearing his words, her face turning to that of a stunned chicken, "What? You're getting married? With whom?
Which girl? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell your mom sooner? Oh my, my son has got skills now, and he's even found a wife on his own."
These past days, she had been worrying herself sick. There were plenty of prospective matches, but none of them sincerely wanted to marry her son.
