Chapter 656: Story Selection within a Story

The moon is bright but no one is seen. A thin piece of letter paper is flattened and then folded up again.

The yard is almost the same as when he first bought it, but the reason for buying it is no longer there. Zhao Sheng raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, his eyes full of self-mockery and coldness.

He remembered that she always liked to look up at the sky, sitting on the bench, her figure so thin and pitiful.

It was that hint of pity that he could not fathom that easily deceived all his sympathy.

For a moment, Zhao Sheng thought that if Lin Yiyi cried and asked him to go to Hong Kong for her, he would be willing to do so.

He sat there for an unknown amount of time, and when he lay back on the wooden bed, he suddenly felt that the bed was so huge that it seemed limitless.

When he left Qian Town the next morning, Zhao Sheng's heart hardened again.

After driving a truck for several days, I returned to the north and made a detour to the provincial capital. It was already the end of the month when I returned to Ze County.

Time flies by with each freight shipment.

Zhao Sheng hadn't been back to the countryside for nearly half a year, and his mother was determined to find him a wife.

Since he is not coming back, don't blame her as a mother for not informing him.

No matter how the times change, parents always have a say in major matters such as marriage.

When Tian Meihui went to Zhaojiatun again, Zhao's mother decided on this future daughter-in-law.

Not long after, he went to the town's Tian family to present his betrothal gifts.

Tian's father and mother couldn't persuade their daughter. Although they looked down on Zhao Tiezhu's family, they thought that Zhao Sheng was in the provincial capital, and the young couple would stay in the city after marriage. It wouldn't be a big deal if they rarely went back to the countryside throughout the year.

The only thing was that he was not happy that Zhao Sheng himself did not come.

After hearing what Zhao's mother Wang Caihong said that she was busy running around to deliver goods, and hearing their daughter's explanation, and thinking that their daughter was not young anymore and a woman in her twenties was not as picky as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, the old couple had no choice but to agree.

But he was still uneasy, so he sent his eldest son to the steel mill in the city to inquire.

Ze County Iron and Steel Plant does not allow outsiders to enter now, so the information that can be obtained is limited, and I can only ask the security guard some questions.

The security guard had received benefits from Zhao Sheng a long time ago, and now that someone came to inquire about him, he would naturally talk about him being a model worker.

In just a few words, he became a hardworking and hardworking comrade.

I sent the man away and waited for Zhao Sheng to come back to the factory to talk to him about it, but he never showed up.

After a while, the matter was forgotten.

…

In the blink of an eye, it is typhoon season.

Ding Yan received two pieces of news from the Ding family and could only sigh that the little bastard was a softie who fell in love.

If things continue like this, he won't have to do anything and will just destroy himself.

"It's not completely useless to arrange for her to go to the Ding family. I really want to see how devastated the little bastard will be when he finds out the truth."

Compared to Ding Yan who was happy to see the outcome, Xia Fu was like an ant on the hot pan.

She had thought of and tried everything, but nothing worked.

Lin Yiyi didn't take the bait at all, and neither appreciated nor rejected her advances.

It's so slippery that it's hard to start.

She looks cold and indifferent, yet she can get what others dream of without any effort, and she acts like it is dispensable and needs consideration.

Xia Fu, who was standing far away, was furious and kicked into the bushes. Her foot got stuck in the bushes and she couldn't pull it out for a long time. The branches were shaking so much that they kept shaking.

The noise was so loud that it startled the lovers under the flower stand.

Lin Yiyi wanted to go over to see what it was, but as soon as she stood up, Ding Li grabbed her hand. He raised his eyebrows and glanced somewhere.

"I think she's a stray dog ​​that got in during the typhoon. I'll have someone catch her and drive her out after a while."

Lin Yiyi sat back, but not next to him. She just moved to the chair opposite him.

Ever since he said that at the gate last time, Ding Li never pressed her for an answer again.

Now their relationship is somewhat ambiguous. When they are working, she is still a servant and he is still the young master of the master's family.

After work, her free time was occupied by Ding Li.

Lin Yiyi was confused and didn't dare to move forward or backward. She just worked harder to learn spoken pronunciation from him.

No matter what the future holds, at least the money for language lessons is saved, and this is the only real excuse that Lin Yiyi can find to convince herself of.

Stay indoors during a typhoon.

Lin Yiyi is protected by the high walls of the Ding family. Although her life is not very comfortable, at least she is protected from the wind and rain.

But Ding Li has his own responsibilities.

Father Ding always gave his son leeway and time, but some things cannot be changed no matter what.

"Ali, when are you going to join the gang?"

"......"

Ding Li has always known that his mother didn't want him to get involved in dark corners, so she protected him very well since he was a child and gave him all her love and respect.

He just couldn't bring himself to do something that would make his mother sad behind her back.

Seeing that he still refused to speak, Father Ding just sighed, "It's not that Dad doesn't love you, nor is it that Dad wants to force you, but this is the way the world is."

"You are also familiar with the affairs of your uncles, your dozen cousins, and what is going on in Western Europe.

Now that your grandfather is putting pressure on us, everyone can get along harmoniously.

But the old man's health is getting worse day by day, and the day he dies will be the day for the Huo family to split up."

Father Ding refilled his son's teacup with hot water and continued, "I don't know how much your mom will get, but it will definitely be enough for us to live a prosperous life.

But those without power and means cannot keep the money in their hands. "

"Your mommy is a young lady from an aristocratic family and she can't endure hardship. I can keep her safe.

As for money matters, only you can take the lead, and your uncles will not think that I am trying to instigate a share of the profits."

No one knows a son better than his father. Father Ding knew very well about his son, who had been raised by him and spoiled since childhood. "If you want to just rely on business and start a company to keep the money, it's not impossible.

But not now, don’t forget you have a brother.”

Ding Li wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he just moved his lips and said nothing.

Ding Yan and him are in a fight to the death.

"Ayan was corrupted by his uncle and has been paranoid since he was a child.

No matter how you teach him, you can't change his hostility towards you and your mother.

I am still alive, so of course everything is fine, but Dad is not young anymore. If Dad passes away one day, what will you and your mom do?"

Ding Li was unwilling to join a gang, but the reality is that people never have the choice.

At this point, Father Ding looked at his son with a more resolute look in his eyes, "You must also learn Ah Yanyan's methods. You must have a cold heart and ruthless methods, so that you can be invincible in the future when you do other things."

"Besides, don't you want to marry Miss Lin? Your mom and I have no objection.

But since you have chosen her, you must make some sacrifices. She has no support from her family, and marrying you is just another bargaining chip for others to control you."

"Since you want to marry her, you have to make up for her shortcomings yourself."

“Or you can marry the daughter of a godfather from another chapter. Not only do you not have to join a gang, you can also start a company right away.

Your future wife role must help you share some of the responsibility."

"If you can't, then you have to carry it."

Father Ding patted his son's shoulder and his tone gradually calmed down, "You have to choose a path. Whatever you do is not just for yourself.

There are two women behind you, one is your mother, the other is your wife, and there will be your children in the future."

Ding Li had no choice but to stay silent for a moment, his eyes dimmed, and he finally nodded his chin, "I agree."

The conversation between father and son was tacit, and neither of them mentioned it to the woman in the family.

Huo Nina has always hoped that her only son could be happy and blessed for the rest of his life. If she knew that her husband was forcing her son to join a gang, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, some things can be hidden for a while, but not forever.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and after the Chinese Valentine's Day it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhao Sheng had been away from home for more than half a year, and even if he didn't want to go back to the village, he had to go back.

But he never expected that when he returned home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would have his own feast on the same day.

Looking at Tian Meihui, who was dressed festively in red and black pants, Zhao Sheng frowned so hard that he could kill a fly. He spoke in a cold tone, "Who are you?"
