Enough!
Lin Jianguo really couldn’t listen anymore.
He kicked away the stool in front of him, his face livid.
He had made so many concessions for this five hundred yuan, and now he still had to watch his son-in-law’s face?
He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach Lin Nian a lesson.
But looking at her fair face, he stopped and smiled.
What’s the hurry?
If Gu Zeyun doesn’t marry you, isn’t there still Shen Chengye?
That kid said that as long as he can marry Xiao Nian home, he’s willing to go bankrupt!
This time, it was Lin Nian’s turn to be stunned.
Lin Jianguo was the most opposed to her marrying Shen Chengye before!
Why did he suddenly change?
She subconsciously looked at Lin Jianguo, but saw that he had already sat down leisurely, and even lit a Daqianmen cigarette that he usually couldn’t bear to smoke.
Seeing that Lin Nian’s face was not good, he snorted.
As soon as you left this morning, that Shen family kid came.
He said that the money for Widow Liu was collected by the people in the team, and he was just helping to hand it over.
He also said that as long as we agree to marry you to him, any amount of bride price is fine.
Didn’t you want to marry him before? I think this can work.
Lin Nian was laughed at by anger.
There was no such thing in her previous life. After she fell into the water, the village’s rumors turned around, from Shen Chengye and Widow Liu being unclear, to her and Shen Chengye having an affair.
Her parents were so angry that they locked her in the woodshed, not letting her out for days and nights.
But they still couldn’t guard against Shen Chengye. That kid used his good skills to pry open the door when everyone else went to the fields, teaching her to deceive her parents and make them compromise.
Lin Jianguo heard that she had lost her innocence and was worthless, and was so angry that he whipped her all over with wooden strips. When she was sent to the county hospital, she was rumored to have had a miscarriage.
At that time, she married Shen Chengye with these rumors, and he shed tears of emotion, saying that he would treat her well.
What was the result?
Now that she didn’t want to, Shen Chengye was spending a lot of money.
He usually said he was so noble, but he lied as soon as he opened his mouth.
What handing over?
No one knew better than Lin Nian.
That money was Shen Chengye’s own!
Shen Chengye was still a platoon leader at that time. Widow Liu’s husband was his soldier. When he just sacrificed, the people in the team did collect a lot of money for her.
But later, the team’s pension application was approved, and everyone had their own family affairs, so they didn’t give it anymore.
Widow Liu didn’t lack money at all, it was just that Shen Chengye insisted on giving it, and she wouldn’t refuse it for nothing.
In this life, she didn’t want to participate in the affairs of those two people anymore.
Looking at Lin Jianguo’s proud expression, Lin Nian also pulled out a stool and sat down.
Dad, that’s what you think is wrong.
Shen Chengye’s little money is to support a big family!
His parents are both lazy, and they still send money and food to Widow Liu from time to time. Even if he goes bankrupt, how much money can he give you?
Gu Zeyun is different. He spends the money he earns himself, and his family still subsidizes him.
Marrying him, we can all benefit from it.
I had a relationship with Shen Chengye before. If you contact Shen Chengye at this time, wouldn’t people be even more unhappy when they hear it?
There was still a little hope, but you ruined it completely!
Don’t you want to go to the city?
Lin Jianguo spat out the smoke ring in his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell.
Most importantly, Lin Nian had changed as if she were a different person after sleeping.
She used to be well-behaved and obedient, but now she would argue at every turn, and even tried to teach him, her father!
But you can’t say that what this girl said made some sense.
However, he valued face the most in his life.
If he admitted it like this, wouldn’t he be ridden on by a money-losing product?
Lin Jianguo snorted, turned to look at his youngest son who was already stunned, and kicked his calf.
“When it gets dark, go contact Shen Chengye, be careful, don’t let anyone see you.”
“Just say the blind date didn’t go well, if he’s sincere, our family might just agree.”
“See how he acts during this time.”
“As for Gu Zeyun’s side, just say that kid is the one pestering her, tell him if he likes Nian, he should work harder.”
He can’t be led by the nose by Lin Nian.
In case this girl can’t win over Gu Zeyun, Shen Chengye can be a backup plan.
Anyway, he wants a five-hundred-yuan bride price, whoever comes up with it, he’ll marry Lin Nian to them.
On the other side, the Gu family’s old house.
Gu Zeyun had just entered the door when he was stopped by his mother, Xiao Lan.
“Xiao Ze, how was the blind date this time?”
“You didn’t say anything harsh, didn’t scare anyone away, did you?”
After speaking, she noticed Chen Ran behind her son and smiled embarrassedly.
Although Chen Ran followed Gu Zeyun from Beinjing Nacheng and is Gu Zeyun’s good brother, so close they could wear the same pants.
But she still wanted to save face for her family when it came to the embarrassing matter of a failed blind date.
Unexpectedly, just as she stopped talking, Chen Ran started chattering away.
“How could that be? Aunt Xiao, you don’t know, that girl is quite the operator!”
“If it weren’t for a dinner party tonight, I think Brother Yun would have taken her straight to get their marriage certificate!”
Xiao Lan was stunned, first showing a look of joy, but soon became suspicious.
“An operator?”
“Xiao Chen, listening to you… do you think that girl isn’t good?”
“What’s going on? Tell your aunt about it.”
As she spoke, she grabbed Chen Ran and walked towards the inner room.
Gu Zeyun paused, turned his head to give Chen Ran a warning look, and interjected with a half-smile.
“What, you keep urging me to get married, and now I’ve actually taken a liking to someone, you’re not happy?”
“Then what should I do? Should I not get married? You can find me ten or eight more, I’ll see them every day, and I won’t have to return to the team!”
As he spoke, he walked past the two of them and lay down on the sofa.
Not forgetting to grab an apple from the coffee table and take a bite without washing it.
Xiao Lan frowned and couldn’t help but remind him.
“If you want to lie down, go back to your room, if the old man comes down later, he’s going to nag you again.”
“Tonight is your grandfather’s birthday, can’t you just be quiet for once?”
Gu Zeyun scoffed and then got up and went upstairs.
Xiao Lan looked at his back, sighing anxiously.
So many years have passed, Xiao Ze hasn’t let it go, and he’s still resenting the old man.
But she’s about to return to Kyoto, and without her to mediate, only these two will be left in Nancheng, what to do!
Originally, she wanted him to start a family in Nancheng so someone could take care of him, and she could feel more at ease.
Who would have thought…
Xiao Lan paused and turned to look at Chen Ran.
“What were you saying just now?”
“Xiao Ze took a liking to someone? What happened after that?”
“It couldn’t be that the girl didn’t like him, right?”
Chen Ran was stunned and quickly shook his head.
“How could that be? My brother is so handsome!”
He was telling the truth.
Gu Zeyun inherited his parents’ good looks and was one of the best-looking in the team.
His good looks are well-recognized, somewhere between bookish and rugged, that kind of handsome that’s both tough and a bit refined.
Moreover, his combat skills have been maxed out since he was a child! He graduated at the top of his class at military academy.
If it hadn’t been for that incident, how could Brother Yun have become like this.
The light in Chen Ran’s eyes dimmed, but he quickly adjusted his mood and replied with a smile.
“It’s not related to that, Auntie, it’s just that girl…”
“Is not quite the same as what we heard.”
