Zhao Dahu shook his head and said, "You guys eat, I'll eat it!"

Turning to look at the soft and cuddly Wei Jianshe, he was simply adorable. After they finished tidying up, Zhao Dahu, Wei Xigun, Wei's mother, and Wei Dani were called to the west room.

Zhao Dahu was a little embarrassed to say that Wei Shuqing was the one who should do this, but Wei Shuqing's brain wasn't working very well, so after thinking it over, he decided to do it himself!

Clearing her throat, she decided to get straight to the point: "Da Ni, I ran into you in the cafeteria today, Aiguoshuo..."

"Uncle, I put the steamed buns made from the two-component dough back. I didn't take them..." Wei Dani was so anxious she was about to cry.

Zhao Dahu shook his head and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not about that. No cook in the cafeteria would steal anything. As they say, 'A cook who doesn't steal won't get rich.' I'm looking for you about something else. That Li Jianshe, you seem to be quite close to him? Has he said anything to you?"

Wei's mother and Wei Xigun were on tenterhooks, staring intently at Wei Dani. Wei Dani's eyes were red-rimmed; her job was so precious, what would happen if she lost it...?

Zhao Dahu held down Wei's mother and Wei Xigun and said, "Uncle didn't mean that. Aiguo came back and said that Jianshe's intentions are not right. I thought I'd come and ask you. You're still young. If you make a bad friend, it will affect you for the rest of your life."

Wei Xigun said with a gloomy face, "Hurry up and tell me! You wretched girl, why are you so troublesome!"

Wei Dani cried and said, "I've barely spoken a few words to him. He always gives me steamed buns at mealtimes, but I always take them back..."

With a cold face, Wei's mother asked sternly, "Anything else? Did they tell you anything?"

Wei Dani was startled, and Wei Xigun slammed his fist on the wall, saying, "Aren't you going to talk?!"

Wei Dani thought for a moment and said, "He did ask me to take over the job, but I didn't agree. Mother will definitely go back to work once she recovers!"

The Wei family and Zhao Dahu exchanged glances. Zhao Dahu understood immediately and said to Wei Dani, "Dani, this Li Jianshe is really a bad person. Trust your uncle." He then mentioned Zhao Aiguo. Wei's mother and Wei Xigun had an extremely bad impression of this person. Wei Dani also realized what was going on and her face turned pale. She swore to heaven that she didn't mean it that way.

Zhao Dahu said, "That Da Ni is getting older, almost eighteen. What do you think of Jiang Zhen from your canteen? He's a really good kid. He was just promoted to canteen team leader last year. He's smart and resourceful. His parents passed away eight years ago, and he's been supporting his younger brother and sister ever since. Now his sister is in a relationship and getting married soon, and his brother has joined the army. His family has three rooms in a courtyard house. If you ask his wife, and she agrees, I'll help them make arrangements!"

Upon hearing this, Wei's mother exclaimed, "With such good conditions, do you think they'd choose our eldest daughter?"

Zhao Dahu chuckled and said, "It should be rare. If you agree, I'll go and tell them. It's no problem!"

After saying that, he stood up and said, "You two should discuss it again, Dani. Let me tell you, even if you don't like Jiang Zhen, that Li Jianshe is definitely not a good man. Don't be attracted to pretty boys' looks; it's useless and unrealistic! Otherwise, you'll suffer for it later." Wei Dani was almost scared to death. She felt that the city was too cunning and city people were too shrewd. She wanted to go back to the countryside. She just kept shaking her head. Zhao Dahu didn't say much and stood up, saying, "You two discuss it. I want to go back; it's getting late." Wei's mother and Wei Xigun saw her outside and told her to ride slowly.

After returning to her room, Wei Dani sat in the kitchen and cried softly. Her mother went in and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling aggrieved? Are you very patriotic or with your uncle?"

After being asked three questions in a row, Wei Dani looked up and choked up, saying, "Then what kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I'm someone who can't distinguish right from wrong? I just think that people in the city are too cunning. If it weren't for my patriotism, I wouldn't know I'd been schemed against!"

Wei's mother sighed and said, "It's good that you didn't bring any steamed buns or extra lunchboxes home from get off work. My dear girl, a woman must have self-respect. Don't be bought off by small favors; that's degrading! Being poor isn't scary, but being cheap is." Wei Dani nodded…

Wei Xigun told Liu Taohua about it, and Liu Taohua's eyes lit up. "Dahu really said he'd introduce Jiang Zhen to you?" Wei Xigun nodded, and Liu Taohua said with a happy expression, "If it works out, it'll be a real blessing for Da Ni. Jiang Zhen is a very good young man, mature beyond his years, steady in his work, and a man who has a plan in mind. I heard that his younger brother is dating a high-ranking officer's daughter in the army. He said he doesn't want the house, he'll leave it to him. His sister is married off, so Da Ni will have a place to live after she marries him! There are quite a few matchmakers trying to set him up!"

Then she sighed and said, "But Da Ni is a country girl after all, and I'm afraid Jiang Zhen won't like her. Otherwise, I would give her the temporary job."

Wei Xigun thought for a while and said, "Let's not decide yet. Let me discuss it with my brother-in-law first."

Liu Taohua nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and disappointment.
