Chapter 58 A Match Made in Heaven

Gu Erhui was now wearing a blue cloth jacket, black pants, a red headscarf on her head, and a lot of dust on her face, looking a little funny. Zhang Zijun chuckled when he saw her, "You look pretty good like this."

Gu Erhui was embarrassed by his smile and said coldly, "Why are you here again?"

Zhang Zijun put away the smile on his face and looked at her seriously, but with a smile in his eyes, "I want to say a few words to you."

"Just say whatever you want to say." Gu Erhui was a little embarrassed. Even if she didn't have any feelings for Zhang Zijun, she felt uncomfortable being seen like this. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl definitely loves beauty.

Zhang Zijun looked at the dirty and messy yard, frowned slightly and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

Gu Erhui turned and walked into the house. Zhang Zijun's car was so attractive that several people were already standing at the door. She didn't want her affairs to be discussed.

Zhang Zijun followed her into the house. The house was also dirty and messy. There was no place to sit, so the two could only talk while standing.

"Is this a new house your family bought?" Zhang Zijun asked.

Gu Erhui didn't answer him. "Just say what you want to say."

Zhang Zijun lowered his head and organized his words before saying, "You don't want to be friends with me because of Zhu Yujiao? The one who bought clothes with me at your house last time."

"No," Gu Erhui said. She didn't want to be friends with Zhang Zijun for many reasons, such as they were not the same kind of people, he didn't know how to respect others, and of course, the Zhu Yujiao he mentioned was also a reason.

"Zhu Yujiao and I were arranged by our parents. I don't like her. I plan to break off the engagement with her." Even though Gu Erhui said it was not because of Zhu Yujiao, Zhang Zijun still gave an explanation.

He was initially interested in Gu Erhui, probably because she was pretty. But later he realized that he not only liked her beauty, but also her stubborn and unyielding spirit.

After a few days of consideration, he decided to break off his engagement with Zhu Yujiao and marry Gu Erhui. After making the decision, he immediately came to find her.

Gu Erhui hadn't expected him to call off his current engagement, but it had nothing to do with him. Even so, they were still not suitable.

Taking off the red headscarf, she asked, "When you say making friends, do you mean dating?"

Zhang Zijun thought she was going to agree to it, so he smiled and said, "Yes."

"What do your parents do?" Gu Erhui asked again.

"My father works in the provincial government, and my mother died when I was very young." Zhang Zijun did not tell her his father's position for fear of scaring her.

Gu Erhuimin pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask."

Zhang Zijun waved his hand, "It's okay."

"Your father works in the provincial government, a high-ranking official. The fact that you drive a car every day means your family must be very wealthy." Gu Erhui looked Zhang Zijun in the eye and said seriously, "My parents are farmers, and our whole family is farmers. This business was built with all our family savings. You see, we are not a good match."

"I don't care."

"I care." Gu Erhui continued, "Everyone wants to live a good life, and I do too, but the first requirement for a good life is to live comfortably. If I were to be with you, I would definitely have to face a lot of doubts, and I would even be inferior to you and your family. I don't want to live that kind of life."

"We can"

"Let me finish," Gu Erhui continued, "Besides, I really don't like you as a person."

"What don't you like about me?" This was the first time Zhang Zijun was disliked like this.

"In many ways. I don't like the way you talk and act frivolously, I don't like the way you do nothing every day, and there are many other things. So, we are really not suitable."

"I don't work because..." Zhang Zijun wanted to explain, but seeing Gu Erhui's indifferent look, he laughed at himself and felt that it would be useless even if he explained, so he simply gave up.

"I understand. I will go back to Kyoto in a while and won't bother you anymore." He turned and walked out of the house, got in the car, started the car and drove away.

Gu Erhui stood in the room stunned for a long time. Zhang Zijun was not a bad person, so she dared to say those words. If he was really an arrogant and domineering second-generation rich kid, she would not dare to say those words.

It's just that they're really not suitable.

Wearing a red headscarf, she continued to clean with Gu Yimin.

"Will he really never come to see you again?" Gu Yimin asked.

Gu Erhui put the torn newspaper into a sack and said, "That should be it. He said he would return to Kyoto soon."

Gu Yimin sighed. In the village, they were all of the age to find a partner, but finding a suitable one was not easy. She dumped the swept garbage into a sack and said, "I heard there's night school. Why don't we go there?"

Gu Erhui had the same idea, so she looked at her and said, "Let's find out how to attend night school in the next two days."

"Yeah." Gu Yimin smiled and nodded.

As long as you work hard, you can become better and better.

A few days later, Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi took a train to Lizhou. They first took out the goods, and then found a tricycle to pull the goods back to the store.

Gu Yimin, Gu Erhui, and Tian Huiying hadn't expected that they would have so much stock this time. Looking at the mountain of goods, Tian Huiying wanted to ask, "Can they sell it all?" But she was afraid that Han Deyi would scold her if she said it out loud, so she kept it to herself.

Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui aren't worried about not being able to sell. They're the only ones who usually attend to the store's customers, and many say their friends want to wait until Chinese New Year to buy. Business should be even better between now and Chinese New Year.

At this time, there was a noise outside. Gu Yimin stood at the door and saw that the couple next door had also returned with their stock. They had bought quite a lot of goods, two large bags.

"Pack up the goods." Gu Jianguo called Gu Yimin back. It was obvious that the neighbors next door would not get along well with them in the future.

"I don't know what kind of goods they imported." Gu Yimin said in a low voice as he returned to the house.

When Han Deyi heard her words, he recounted the experience of being followed by those two people during the purchase. Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui were both surprised. There are such shameless people!

"Just be careful next door next time." Gu Jianguo said.

The next day's business was obviously better than the day before, and the business in the following days was getting better and better, and they were almost overwhelmed. These days, they still closed the shop every afternoon and went to clean up the newly bought house.

The house has two courtyards, the front courtyard has ten rooms, and the back courtyard has ten rooms. The main house in the front courtyard, facing south, has five rooms, the east and west side rooms have six rooms each, and the south side room has four rooms.

They cleaned up the front yard first and then decided to move in. The furniture in the house was old, so they kept what was usable and threw away what was not.

Gu Jianguo repaired several beds so that people could live there temporarily.

What’s strange is that even after several days of receiving the goods, the store next door has remained closed and not open for business.
