Lin Jianguo’s face was livid.
He didn’t expect his youngest son to be so stupid.
Before they set off, he had repeatedly told him to be careful and not let anyone know about this!
Good heavens, Aunt Zhao came to his door in the blink of an eye!
He didn’t know who had snitched, so he could only desperately deny it, thinking of fooling her away first.
Unexpectedly, Lin Dong came back at this time and shouted so loudly!
Sure enough, Zhao Guiying turned her head to look at him and began to speak sarcastically again.
“Oh, who is Shen Chengye? Who is he giving the bride price to marry?”
“Old Lin, how come I don’t know you have two daughters?”
Lin Jianguo remained silent. Zhao Guiying sighed and continued.
“If you don’t want to get along well, just forget it as soon as possible!”
“Return the brown sugar to me and give me another ten yuan. I’ll buy some gifts and go to the Gu family to apologize!”
What? He had to pay even to break off the engagement?
Lin Jianguo was unhappy and started roaring, slamming the table.
“Why? They’ve already met! It’s the Gu family’s fault, why should I return anything?”
“Didn’t you see his attitude when he came to the door? Just because he’s from the city? Isn’t the food that city people eat grown by us rural people?”
Zhao Guiying rolled her eyes to the sky.
After Lin Jianguo finished speaking, she sneered.
“Stop bragging, aren’t you just trying to get Lin Nian to marry someone from the city so you can go to the city to enjoy the good life?”
“Do you think they are ordinary people? If you offend them, what good will it do you?”
Speaking of this, she paused and added unhappily.
“You’re also blind!”
“What does that Shen family kid have to compare with the Gu family?”
“I’m telling you, the Gu family has a car!”
In this day and age, everyone envied a family with a bicycle, let alone a car.
That was something they didn’t dare to think about, a good thing that only existed in big cities!
Lin Jianguo was stunned and subconsciously asked.
“How is that possible?”
“If there were cars in Nancheng, how come we’ve never seen them?”
The way he said it made it seem like he knew everything.
Zhao Guiying laughed in anger.
If Lin Nian wasn’t so suitable, she really wouldn’t want to give that old thing Lin Jianguo the benefit.
She had seen the Gu family’s car with her own eyes, parked in the yard!
But she was too embarrassed to ask at the time, so she casually chatted with Gu Zeyun’s mother for a few words and left with her things.
If it wasn’t theirs, why would it be parked at their place?
To take a step back, even if the car wasn’t theirs, the apples and chocolates they gave her must have been from the Gu family, right?
How many families in Nancheng can say they’ll give you these things?
She didn’t want to say any more to Lin Jianguo and got up to leave.
“Anyway, I’ve made myself very clear, it’s up to you.”
“It’s not me who will offend people, and it’s not me who will regret it and cry!”
But Lin Dong was standing at the door.
Hearing that the Gu family had a car, he immediately changed his attitude and stubbornly guarded the door, refusing to let anyone leave.
“Oh, Aunt Zhao! Let’s talk nicely!”
“The one who’s going to marry Shen Chengye is… is…”
“It’s a relative of our family! Yes, our family has a distant cousin, and we’re preparing to introduce her to Shen Chengye!”
“Can you help us ask the Gu family when they’re planning to have the wedding banquet?”
“People of their status must all be rich people around them!”
Before, when he heard Lin Nian mention the possibility of benefiting from it, he was dismissive.
After all, looking at Gu Zeyun’s attitude, he didn’t seem like he would help them.
But now, Lin Dong suddenly realized.
It didn’t matter if Gu Zeyun didn’t help!
When the time came, he would have to have a wedding banquet! He would have to invite relatives and friends!
If he, the brother-in-law, sat there, wouldn’t everyone give him some face?
At that time, the Gu family’s connections would be his connections!
What was the point of buying a job? He would directly pick one on the spot and see who offered the best treatment, and he would go to work there!
The more Lin Dong thought about it, the more excited he became. He forcibly pulled Aunt Zhao’s arm and made her sit back on the stool.
He immediately urged her as soon as he opened his mouth.
“Then can you help us ask when the Gu family is coming to give the betrothal gifts?”
“Lin Nian is very popular, you’ve seen it, there’s still a Shen family thinking about her behind her back.”
“Get married early, have a son early, don’t you think so?”
Aunt Zhao sneered.
Wasn’t he just being stubborn, saying that he was going to introduce a distant cousin?
He wasn’t pretending anymore?
But she still didn’t expose him, only perfunctorily hummed twice.
“Got it, I’ll help you ask later.”
After all, she was also looking forward to her big red envelope!
On the other side of the Gu family, Gu Zeyun was suffering from insomnia.
Chen Ran’s words from today were still echoing in his mind, and he began to wonder if he was really being too good to Lin Nian?
After all, she was only someone he had known for a day, so why did he want to get so close to her?
This situation had never happened to him before.
It couldn’t be… was he really moved?
Gu Zeyun sat up from the bed and slapped himself hard.
What was he thinking? That little girl was only 18 years old!
If he really married her, how would he be any different from an animal?
Instead of daydreaming, he might as well go out and do some extra training!
He lifted the quilt and got up, but the steps he took out of the room took a turn and directly pried open the door of another room.
Heh, he couldn’t sleep, so why should the culprit be resting?
It was time to let Chen Ran know the price of talking nonsense!
Chen Ran had drunk a little wine at night and was sleeping at the Gu family’s old house. He was still meeting the Duke of Zhou in his dreams when he was suddenly picked up.
Then, a gust of cold wind hit him, making him shiver and instantly wake up.
“Damn, bro, what are you doing?”
“What did I do to offend you in the middle of the night?”
Gu Zeyun sneered and reached out to him.
“Where’s the house key I told you to get?”
“You’re getting bolder now, you don’t take your brother’s words seriously, do you!”
Chen Ran: “…”
Who wasn’t taking it seriously?
Hadn’t they been together all the time?
After seeing Lin Nian, they came directly to the Gu family’s old house. Where did he have time to go home and get the key?
And he didn’t say when he wanted it, what was the rush!
But looking at Gu Zeyun’s expression, Chen Ran didn’t dare to say anything and quickly expressed his attitude.
“It’s okay! I have a spare key!”
“I hid a key near that house! Whenever you want it, Yun-ge, I’ll get it for you.”
Without saying a word, Gu Zeyun picked him up and left.
In the middle of the night, to a house that hadn’t been lived in for two or three years.
Chen Ran felt cold all over, sat down on the ground, and broke down.
“Bro, what are you trying to do!”
“No one has lived here for a long time, there isn’t even a quilt, how am I supposed to sleep?”
Unfortunately, his misery didn’t awaken his brother’s conscience.
Instead, he kicked him.
“You know there’s no quilt?”
“Then how is that little girl supposed to sleep?”
“Aren’t you going back to get two quilts?”
Chen Ran laughed in anger.
Get what quilts? Why didn’t he say to get quilts just now?
Now he’s making him run another errand!
Was his life not a life?
Looking at Gu Zeyun’s handsome face, he just felt his teeth itch.
“They all say that once you have a wife, you forget your brothers.”
“Bro, you’re really something!”
Gu Zeyun had no awareness of being scolded at all and even turned around in the house in a good mood.
“In addition to the quilts, bring some tools over.”
“Your house has been empty for too long, it needs to be cleaned and repaired.”
“Otherwise, it might leak.”
Chen Ran understood.
He was dragging him out in the middle of the night to clean up for his future wife.
He was so angry that he didn’t care about the dust on the ground and lay down directly, refusing to get up.
“I’m not going!”
“Bro, you’re trying to please your wife, why should I do the work?”
“I’ve already contributed the house!”
Gu Zeyun smiled.
“You’re not going?”
“Okay, your brother can’t sleep, come out and practice with me!”
Chen Ran: “…”
