When the boys heard them questioning them, they kept their heads down and remained silent.
Zhang Yumei nudged Chen Zhaodi discreetly and whispered, "In-law, have you seen this man at the steel factory? I seem to remember him as someone who idles around all day and doesn't seem to have a job."
Chen Zhaodi stood on tiptoe and strained to see ahead for a while, then said with great certainty, "I'm not sure if he's a worker at the steel factory, but he's definitely not the workshop foreman!"
“I’ve met every workshop foreman, and none of them look like him!”
Oh wow~ that's going to be interesting.
The girl in the dress, named Lin Xiaoya, grabbed the boy's clothes and asked in a panic, "Say something! Why isn't there anyone named you at the steel factory?!"
Lin Xiaoya originally had a boyfriend, but he was just an ordinary worker at a meat processing plant. He was rugged-looking and always had a strong muttony smell. In addition, he had two younger brothers, so she didn't really like him.
Then a boy appeared. He was much better looking than her ex-boyfriend. He was fair-skinned and had a lot of sweet talk. He often made Lin Xiaoya very happy.
He also revealed that he was a workshop director at a steel factory. After discussing it with her family, Lin Xiaoya decided to break up with her previous boyfriend and get together with the boy.
Lin Xiaoya's family thought the boy was a director and his family was wealthy, so they could ask for a higher dowry, which would be good enough for Lin Xiaoya's younger brother to get married. Lin Xiaoya also liked that the boy was good-looking and knew how to charm people, so the two quickly got together.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that the boy has never spent any money with Lin Xiaoya in all the time they've been together. Every time they go out, she pays. He just says nice things, but when it comes to paying, he makes excuses. Lin Xiaoya just doesn't realize it!
The girl in the food factory uniform was named Cheng Xuelin. Seeing Lin Xiaoya so distraught, she suddenly felt less upset. Although she had been dating the boy for over a month, apart from treating him to a few meals and movies, she hadn't really suffered any losses.
But Lin Xiaoya seems to have suffered a great loss, otherwise she wouldn't have lost control of her emotions like that.
Lin Xiaoya was indeed at a loss for words. She had known the boy for more than half a month, but because she thought he was a good catch, she brought up marriage several times, but he always dodged the question.
Her family encouraged her to just go ahead and force things, so they would have no choice but to get married and there wouldn't be any unexpected problems.
As they expected, after the two had sex, although the man was unwilling, he still decided to marry Lin Xiaoya, which is why Lin Xiaoya came to discuss the wedding today.
When Lin Xiaoya arrived, she saw the boy's house and felt that it didn't seem like a well-off place, so she felt something was off, but she didn't think about it too much.
They were just about to discuss the wedding arrangements when Cheng Xuelin showed up at their door before they could even come to a conclusion.
Now that Cheng Xuelin is saying the boy isn't from the steel factory, how can she not be devastated! She's given him everything!
"Little girl, you know I really like you. You've said it yourself, material things aren't the most important thing. You love me too, don't you?"
"Can't you just ignore all these external things for me? As long as I love you and you love me, isn't that enough?"
The boy held Lin Xiaoya's hand and said affectionately.
Lin Xiaoya softened a little after he coaxed her. Indeed, they loved each other, and true feelings shouldn't be mixed up with these mundane things. Was she being too calculating?
When Cheng Xuelin saw that Lin Xiaoya was almost coaxed by him in just a few words, she finally understood why the boy had abandoned her and chosen her. Although she also liked to hear him coax her, she would not easily waver in her own mind.
Cheng Xuelin said coldly from the side, "If I remember correctly, you said these words to me just last week. Except for the name, everything else is exactly the same. Not a single word has changed!"
"You said those things to coax me into buying you a pair of sneakers, but I didn't agree, and you haven't come to see me for the past few days. Now it seems it's because I wasn't willing to spend money on you, right?"
Lin Xiaoya's romantic thoughts had barely begun to emerge when Cheng Xuelin's words immediately snapped them back to reality.
Biting her lip, clinging to the last glimmer of hope, she asked nervously, "Is what she said true?"
The boy turned his head away from her. Although he didn't answer, his silence told Lin Xiaoya the answer.
Cheng Xuelin didn't want to watch their torturous love story anymore. When she saw the boy with Lin Xiaoya, she already felt disgusted by him.
The reason he argued with Lin Xiaoya was simply because Lin Xiaoya actually called him a vixen, and he couldn't stand it.
Cheng Xuelin now only wants to get back the money she spent on the boy, and then the two of them will never see each other again.
Anyway, I can do without men, but I can't do without money.
"Alright, if you like this kind of man, you can have him. But Li Xiang, you have to pay me back every penny I spent on you, or we're not done!"
Upon hearing that he was asked to repay the money, Li Xiang immediately objected. He hadn't said a word during their long argument, but now he was suddenly talking.
She said angrily, "You bought it for me willingly, why should I pay you back?! Didn't you watch the movie?! Didn't you eat?!"
Cheng Xuelin had seriously underestimated Li Xiang's shamelessness. She laughed in anger and said disdainfully, "How dare you bring that up? I paid for the movie tickets, I paid for the meals, and every time we went out, you would subtly or overtly ask me to buy you things."
"If you were just dating me normally, that would be fine, since my family is looking for a son-in-law to live with us. But now..."
A live-in son-in-law?!
The people gathered in the courtyard to watch the commotion, as well as Huang Qinqin and the others, were all stunned.
"So she was looking for a son-in-law to live with her family. No wonder she's such a generous girl!"
"Yeah, but Li Xiang is so embarrassing, letting a woman spend money on him, tsk tsk."
"I can't believe it. Isn't Li Xiang an only child? Would his family agree to him becoming a live-in son-in-law?"
Hearing the whispers of others, Li Xiang thought to himself: Of course, he could never become a live-in son-in-law!
He originally chose Cheng Xuelin because he was attracted to her good qualities and the fact that she was the only daughter in her family. He thought that her family's property would be left to him in the future.
Moreover, Cheng Xuelin was very generous; he only needed to use his words to coax her. But gradually, Cheng Xuelin became increasingly stingy, and even said that if they got married, he would have to be a live-in son-in-law!
He's not crazy, how could he possibly agree? But he can't bear to give up, so he's keeping her hanging on.
As for Lin Xiaoya, that was an accident. He didn't mean to seduce her; he simply mistook her for someone else that day...
