Pei Hai also thought it made sense. "Then why do you think this is, sister-in-law? I've always felt that her family's attitude is strange. Before, her mother wouldn't even glance at me and always looked down on me. Now she looks at me with strange kindness, as if... as if I'm some great person!"
Song Yanzhi: "..."
"Li Xiuhe comes from a well-off family. Has she never been on a date with anyone other than you?"
Pei Hai said, "Of course not. I'm just the one with the worst conditions. But because Xiuhe's family asked for too high a dowry, no one was willing. My mother and her mother had a good relationship before, and she was thinking of getting a promotion and introducing me to the job, so she agreed to the request."
"By the way, after she broke off our engagement, her family immediately arranged for her to meet someone even better. It was the son of that company president, who is very rich. But I know that guy; he's even better at having fun than me. He's an expert in all things entertainment and never works! I've even played cards with him before; he's a real sly one."
"Logically speaking, now that she doesn't want a bride price, everyone should be vying to marry her. Why did she choose me? Do I really have so much charm that I don't even know I possess?"
As he spoke, he started to become narcissistic.
Song Yanzhi was even more speechless. "Charm is not necessarily her strength, but she is definitely the easiest to fool among them."
Pei Hai: "..."
"In short, this marriage is not right. I have a suggestion, not only because of you, but also because I don't want those two children to be sent back."
Pei Hai asked curiously, "What suggestion?"
"Try to postpone this engagement and see how the Li family reacts. If they don't agree, then there's definitely something fishy going on. If I'm not mistaken, maybe..."
She didn't know what had happened to Li Xiuhe, but Song Yanzhi had heard about the president's son.
He used to have a history of messing around outside, which led to women coming to his door demanding that he take responsibility.
In the end, his family gave him money to get rid of him.
It is precisely because of his messy private life that he has been unable to find a suitable partner.
Otherwise, with such good conditions, why wouldn't she be unmarried?
Since Li Xiuhe had already gone on a blind date with him, it's unlikely that she would give him up and choose Pei Hai instead.
After all, although Pei Hai didn't cause such a mess, his lack of learning, ambition, and even joblessness were quite well-known in the compound.
A rich playful person and a poor playful person, naturally know who to choose.
She guessed that during that time, Li Xiuhe and the president's son must have had some unspeakable secret.
Pei Hai thought his sister-in-law's words made a lot of sense, so he happily agreed.
He had been unsure about this matter and didn't know what to do.
I was thinking of asking my older brother for help when he came back.
I didn't expect my sister-in-law's words to have the same effect.
If my sister-in-law said that, she must have her reasons.
He was no longer worried.
"Oh right, I've already got the chair ready for you, but my mom locked me in the house and wouldn't let me go out, so I haven't been able to return it to you. I'll go over there in a bit."
Since we've already sneaked out anyway, we're going to get angry anyway, so we might as well do something more productive.
Song Yanzhi nodded.
"Thank you for your help."
"You're still being polite to me."
Pei Hai left with a smile. He hadn't been to the factory for several days and was worried that they might fire him. He needed to explain the situation to them.
Before he even left the residential compound, he ran into several young people of similar age.
The other person called out to him, with a half-smile: "Oh, isn't this Pei Hai? Long time no see. Come play cards tonight, let's go for a big hand."
Pei Hai never expected to run into Li Xiuhe's former blind date, Xu Dali.
He's the same age as Pei Hai, but his family is much richer, so he's not anxious at all at his age.
Pei Hai frowned, not understanding why he was smiling like that. "No, I'm not interested in cards."
"That's because you don't understand. Come with me tonight, and I'll show you the world."
Pei Hai was somewhat tempted, but considering he had to bring a chair to his sister-in-law, he declined: "Never mind, I won't go. You guys go have fun."
After saying that, he ignored the other person and left in a hurry.
When the other person saw that he didn't agree, they scoffed, "How boring."
"Brother Li, why are you calling him? That guy is a good-for-nothing, and his family doesn't have much money. Where would he get the money to play with us?"
"Exactly, a penniless wretch, can't even find two cents in his pocket."
The group laughed.
Xu Dali glanced at them. "That's because you don't understand. Just because he's poor doesn't mean his family is poor. I heard from my dad that his brother is a pilot now, earning several hundred a month..."
"Several hundred dollars, is that how you make money?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why do you think the Li family would even consider him?"
Xu Dali rolled his eyes.
"That's true. But didn't the Li family propose marriage to you before? What happened, it didn't work out?"
"Tch, I was just playing around, it's no fun at all. I was so timid when I took her out, it was embarrassing for me. But she's obedient, she does whatever I ask. She really thinks I'm going to marry her. Tsk, only a stupid kid like Pei Hai would like a woman like this."
"So, you've already done this?" the other person hissed.
Xu Dali chuckled but remained silent.
Everyone laughed in a lewd manner.
Pei Hai rushed to deliver the chair to Song Yanzhi before dark.
"Sister-in-law, take a look and see if you're satisfied. If not, I'll take it back and redo it for you."
The lacquered chair feels smooth to the touch, is easy to clean and maintain, and looks bright orange, which is very beautiful.
Song Yanzhi nodded, "That's fine, let's leave it at that. You did a good job."
"I just applied some paint, that's all. My brother did the job of making it look good. My master said that if my brother had worked in the factory back then, he might be the factory manager now."
Song Yanzhi smiled and said, "Who can say for sure? But it's good that he's doing this now."
Pei Hai agreed, since his brother was excellent at everything he did and there was nothing he couldn't do.
The more he thought about it, the more envious he became, and he couldn't wait to go home and tell his mother about the marriage.
He has already made up his mind.
Even when Song Yanzhi invited him to stay for dinner, he didn't linger and hurried away.
Back home, before his mother could even show her displeasure, Pei Hai loudly declared, "Mom, I've made up my mind. I'm going to marry Xiuhe."
The profanity that Wang Yanmei was about to utter got stuck in her throat.
