After Han Weixian and Shen Qingli finished their meal, they went to see a movie. Finally, Han Weixian took a taxi to send Shen Qingli home.
The taxi fare was very expensive at this time, and Shen Qingli refused and wanted to take the bus back, but Han Weixian was worried that the bus would stop running so late, so he took a taxi to send her back first.
Shen Qingli is not a person who lacks love. On the contrary, she grew up in a loving family and has never faced the problem of lack of food and clothing since childhood.
So she would not be moved at all by Han Weixian's warm gesture.
All I can say is that her first impression of Han Weixian was pretty good, including his appearance, height, manners, etc.
Han Weixian didn't know how Shen Qingli felt about him, so he could only ask Su Nuan for help.
Su Nuan said, "Go after her if you like her."
"You need to be patient and loving when pursuing a girl."
"Do you think marriage is still the same as before, where you can get married just by meeting once?"
"Give you a little more time to get to know each other..."
After listening to it, Victor Han couldn’t help but said, “Sister Xiao Nuan, didn’t you and your brother-in-law get married after just meeting once before?”
Su Nuan paused, "Not entirely true."
"We got married after being engaged for more than ten years."
"The college entrance examination had not been resumed at that time. Unlike you, you have gone to college, broadened your horizons, and thought and weighed more."
Han Weixian seemed to understand, "I understand."
“By the way, do you know what Comrade Shen likes?”
“She liked the book I wrote.”
This is the only thing Su Nuan knows.
"What else?"
"I don't know." Su Nuan shook her head.
Another weekend, Han Weixian asked Shen Qingli to come out for a meeting. Shen Qingli came out, but the two of them still kept a certain distance when walking, feeling particularly distant.
Han Weixian remembered Su Nuan's words and took the initiative to understand Shen Qingli's hobbies, “Comrade Shen, when you don’t have to go to work, what do you like to do?”
Shen Qingli thought for a moment and responded, "Go to the bookstore and take a walk along the river after dinner."
“It seems like I don’t have any special hobbies.”
Victor Han thought of something first, “The largest bookstore in Shanghai has opened near Xiao Nuan’s home. Shall we go shopping next weekend?”
"Sure." Shen Qingli said readily.
The two were talking when suddenly a woman asked in surprise, "Han Weixian?"
Han Weixian looked at the woman, but he couldn't remember who this person was.
The woman patted his shoulder excitedly and reminded him, "I am your sister Zhaodi, Chen Zhaodi, don't you remember?"
Han Weixian seemed to be struck by lightning and immediately shook off the woman's hand. "So it's you, Chen Zhaodi, who despises the poor and loves the rich, and ran away with a man in the city even after getting engaged."
Shen Qingli stood aside with a look of astonishment, as if she was just a passerby.
Chen Zhaodi saw that Han Weixian was dressed respectably and the girl next to him was pretty and looked like she came from a well-off family.
She inquired, "Has your family been doing well in recent years?"
"What's it to you?"
Han Weixian finished speaking and took Shen Qingli away.
Chen Zhaodi rolled her dark eyes and quickly chased after him, "Weixian, I know I was the one who let your brother down in the beginning."
“But I can’t help it.”
"Who made me pay a higher bride price for men now? I have several younger brothers at home, and they also need bride price to marry wives. If I marry your brother, my brothers will be single. I can't be so selfish."
Han Weixian thought of his brother's situation in those years, and he was furious, “Are you not selfish?”
"Even if you want to marry someone else, please take the initiative to cancel the engagement."
"You took the engagement money our family gave you and ran off with a man in the city?"
What Chen Zhaodi was thinking was, since the money had already been collected, how could there be any reason to return it?
As far as he knew, the Han family also came to ask for the engagement money later, but they insisted that she had stolen it and asked her to give it back if she wanted it back. She was so scared that she hardly dared to go back after she got married!
Han Weixian seemed to remember this incident as well, and he stretched out his hand and said, “The engagement money our family gave you was 30 yuan, but that was almost 10 years ago. 30 yuan now is not as durable as it was before, so I’ll count it as 40 yuan. Please give me 40 yuan.”
Chen Zhaodi cursed in her heart. Who would ask for money the first thing after not seeing him for such a long time?
But she was still polite on the surface, "Wei Xian, I didn't marry well."
"After my husband was laid off, I was forced to work outside. Now I work as a nanny for someone else in Shanghai. I have to mail all the money I earn back to him every month."
Chen Zhaodi originally wanted to squeeze out a few cat tears, but she didn't expect Shen Qingli to say: "Weixian, if she refuses to pay back the money, you report it to the police."
"My cousin is a policeman in the Shanghai Public Security Bureau..."
It was this cousin who helped her stay and work in Shanghai.
When Chen Zhaodi heard that they were going to call the police, her legs went limp with fear, and she quickly said, "Weixian, I was almost going to be your sister-in-law, how could you be so cruel to me?"
"It's just a few dozen dollars. Do you need to report it?"
Han Weixian said in a sonorous and powerful voice: “I don’t have a shameless sister-in-law like you who despises the poor and loves the rich!”
"My sister-in-law is a thousand times, ten thousand times better than you!"
"My brother's life is worse than before because of your departure.
