Gu Zhengnian had hated Chinese New Year and weddings for the past few years. He was always pressured into marriage during these times, especially on the second day of the Lunar New Year, when his three sisters and their husbands returned with their children to their parents' home. The pressure on him, along with his mother, was so intense that he wanted to run away. This year was no different. After lunch, the family gave Gu Zhengnian red envelopes, and the children went out to play in the courtyard. Gu Zhengnian, who had received eight red envelopes, was once again pressured into marriage.
The eldest sister asked, "Zhengnian, are you in touch with Su Tiantian, the blind date I had that day?"
Gu Zhengnian said: "Yes, I sent her a WeChat message today."
Gu Zhengnian's mother was a little happy and said, "Do you want to go to her house to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year?"
Gu Zhengnian was a little annoyed: "Why do I have to go to her house to pay New Year's greetings? We have only met once, and I thought it had to be her who came to pay New Year's greetings." He felt that Su Tiantian's attitude towards him was average, but his attitude towards Su Tiantian was not good either.
Gu Zhengnian's mother said, "It's polite. If you want to be in a relationship, you should go."
The third sister said, "Su Tiantian is quite good. We have all met her and think she is very good. You should pay more attention to her, brother."
The second sister said, "Brother, are you still thinking about Li Lingyue?"
Gu Zhengnian looked unhappy and didn't say anything.
The eldest sister said, "Li Lingyue is indeed prettier than Su Tiantian. I remember she used to date a guy from my husband's village, but they later broke up."
The eldest brother-in-law knew who it was as soon as he heard it, and quickly said, "He is the son of the Liu family, his family is wealthy."
Gu Zhengnian was a little unconvinced and said loudly: "She broke up with Liu Jingze a long time ago." It seemed that he still cared about Li Lingyue.
My eldest brother-in-law thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, the Liu family's son is called Liu Jingze, four years younger than me."
Gu Zhengnian's mother's eyes lit up: "Zhengnian, you want to be with Lingyue, that's fine too, she's not bad either, settle down as soon as possible, you're both not young anymore."
Hearing this, Gu Zhengnian felt a little hurt and said sadly: "She said she was a good friend of mine, and she said she couldn't let go of Liu Jingze."
Several people present looked at each other. It seemed that this silly son (silly brother) was being treated as a spare tire. He was a spare tire before, and he is still a spare tire now. This cannot continue in the future.
The third brother-in-law asked, "Jinian, what are you going to do? Continue to wait for that Li Lingyue?"
The eldest sister immediately objected: "We have all seen Su Tiantian, she is very beautiful. Her mother is my mother-in-law's cousin. We all know her family situation. She is really well-off. I heard that people are introducing boyfriends to her every day these days. If you don't pay attention, you might miss out on such a good girl."
The third sister also agreed: "Su Tiantian is really good, smart and capable."
Speaking of Su Tiantian, Gu Zhengnian recalled the night when Su Tiantian met him, Lingyue, and Liu Jingze together: "Su Tiantian knows Liu Jingze, and she has also met Lingyue."
My eldest brother-in-law wasn't surprised at all. "Su Tiantian is my cousin by kinship. It's normal for her to know the Liu family's son. They were childhood sweethearts. Their old house was only two doors away. Later, the Liu family's business was getting better, so they moved away. Later, the Su family's financial situation improved, so they also moved away. They bought a piece of land across from my house and built a house. Later, they demolished it and rebuilt it, which is the house we have now."
The second sister's focus was different from that of her eldest brother-in-law: "Zhengnian, why did Su Tiantian meet Lingyue?"
Everyone thought, yes, why did she meet Lingyue?
Gu Zhengnian said: "Last night I was planning to have a midnight snack with Lingyue and then watch the fireworks. Liu Jingze came. Su Tiantian, her brother and another girl saw us in the same store. Liu Jingze even had food with them later." This scene seemed a bit subtle to him. Although Su Tiantian and he were just blind dates, she happened to know Liu Jingze. Gu Zhengnian was glad that Lingyue didn't know about his blind date with Su Tiantian, otherwise he was afraid she would be angry.
The second brother-in-law's focus was different from that of the eldest brother-in-law and second sister: "Hearing what the eldest brother-in-law said, Su Tiantian's family is really well-off. They have two plots of land for building a house."
The eldest brother-in-law nodded. "My cousin's husband (Su Tiantian's father) opened a small factory, and my cousin (Su Tiantian's younger brother) also opened a small company. They are very good to my cousin. They even gave my cousin a share of the money from the village's land sales. Needless to say, my cousin herself has been able to cook and do housework since she was a child. She studied well and has a good job. I heard that she even paid for her brother's car."
Gu Zhengnian's mother and three sisters were increasingly satisfied the more they listened. With such family background, good looks, a decent education, and a seemingly good temper, she was definitely worthy of their son (younger brother). In fact, Su Tiantian's family conditions were much better than their own, which was one of the reasons why Gu Zhengnian's eldest sister wanted to introduce Su Tiantian to her younger brother.
The third sister said, "Zhengnian, what are you thinking? You've known Li Lingyue for several years now, and you should have been together a year ago. You're almost thirty, are you going to keep waiting like this?"
Gu Zhengnian was in agony: "I really like her, but she said she and I are just good friends."
The eldest sister was furious at her lack of fighting spirit: "You like Lingyue, but does Lingyue like you? She works in the system and has high standards. You are much worse off than that Liu Jingze. She must want to find someone with better conditions. Are you going to drag it out? Su Tiantian is not someone you can pursue just because you want to. Besides, Su Tiantian's family conditions are better than Lingyue's."
Gu Zhengnian's father, who had been silent the whole time, drank a cup of hot tea, but he still couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart: "I'm old and I just want to have grandchildren. I don't care who you like, I just want you to find a suitable person as soon as possible to get married and have children."
