Cai Junze was stunned by the question.
After a long silence, he murmured, "What's the point of this assumption? Anyway, it's just an assumption. Who knows, if everything starts over again, it will definitely be what we imagine?"
"Besides, is it wrong for people to like money?"
“Who doesn’t want to live a good life?”
“How many of them want to live a hard life?”
"Mom, do you want to?"
He suddenly asked back.
Liu Shulin frowned and said, "It's true that she likes money! But, if she only cares about money, she's definitely not qualified to be my daughter-in-law. I don't want her either!"
"Besides, you're right, no one wants to live a hard life, not even me!"
"But I can work hard and change!"
"Instead of waiting for others to give me a good life!"
"Do you know how poor our family was back then? We relied on the bun shop your father opened to barely make ends meet! Later, when your father passed away, I took over the shop. To escape such hard times, I tried many things and came up with this secret recipe, which made our bun business flourish!"
"After that, our family's life started to get better little by little, and we are where we are today!"
"All of this is the result of my hard work! It's not the result of me picking up someone else's money!"
"If you want to live a good life, you have to rely on yourself, not on others!"
"If you don't work hard yourself and always rely on others, can you really count on them?"
"Do you really think that our family's good days will come by themselves?"
"You probably also have memories of the hard times we had in the past."
"Don't be so forgetful!"
Cai Junze does still remember those hard days.
However, he was still young at that time.
At the age of eight or nine, he began to live a good life.
Naturally, the memories of the hard days before have become vague.
"Let's end the matter of Yuan Xiao'e here!"
Liu Shulin continued, "There are so many girls in the world, and Yuan Xiao'e isn't the only one! When the time is right, I'll pick a suitable one for you! As long as it's not Yuan Xiao'e, I can pay for the betrothal gifts and other things, so you don't have to earn them yourself. Let's just put this matter behind us. Don't be depressed, it's useless because it won't change anything except worrying about it."
Cai Junze stopped talking.
After that, he went back to his room without even eating.
Liu Shulin didn't care about him. Some emotions always need to be digested slowly.
Over at the Yuan family, Yuan Xiao'e was also a little worried, "Mom, tell me, is Master Yan lying to me?"
Yuan's mother comforted her, "Don't listen to Cai Junze's nonsense, he said this just because he doesn't want you to be together!"
Yuan's father echoed, "That's right! He doesn't have good intentions to begin with. So, can you trust what he says?"
Yuan Xiao'e frowned and said, "Should we investigate secretly? What if Young Master Yan is really lying to me? If he's the principal wife, I can marry him. But if he's a concubine, I can't marry him! I don't want to be a concubine!"
It’s better to marry Brother Junze than to be a concubine with no status!
Anyway, Brother Junze’s conditions are not much different!
Father Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go check this out!"
Then, the next day, he took time out to go to the county town to conduct an investigation.
Naturally, their every move was under Yan Baisheng's surveillance.
Yan Baisheng also knew about what happened yesterday.
"This little girl Xiao'e is quite thoughtful."
Zhang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"Let her do it. Anyway, it's not that easy to check me out."
Yan Baisheng looked indifferent.
He had already made arrangements. Yuan's father secretly asked someone, and the information he got was all the information he had arranged in advance.
"Brother Baisheng, tell me, do you really want to marry Miss Xiao'e, or... just for fun?" Zhang Kaiwen looked at him deeply.
"This girl is pretty and catches my eye. It would be nice if she could be taken into my backyard." Yan Baisheng took a sip of tea. "But judging from her personality, she doesn't seem like someone who would settle down. Besides, apart from her good looks, there's nothing special about her. She's just a country girl. So, maybe I'm just playing around with her. Who can say for sure until the end?"
"If you're just playing around, the money you've spent on her recently is a bit too much!" Zhang Kaiwen said.
"My family runs a gambling house, so why should I be afraid of having no money?" Yan Baisheng smiled.
"That's right. In our county, your family is the easiest to make money!" Zhang Kaiwen seemed envious.
"No, in terms of wealth, our family is still far inferior to Brother Kaiwen's." Yan Baisheng smiled slightly.
"As for Cai Junze, when do you plan to let him know that you are poaching his girlfriend?" Zhang Kaiwen's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"No rush. Once the Yuan family's affairs are finalized, I'll find a suitable time to let him know." Yan Baisheng said with a smile, "Perhaps I can invite him over for a drink at the wedding."
The Yuan family did not tell Cai Junze that it was the Yan family that was proposing to marry Yuan Xiaoe, and that it was Yan Baisheng who arranged it.
He said he did this to avoid unnecessary complications.
The Yuan family expressed their understanding.
So, he refused to tell Cai Junze no matter what.
"It's really exciting!" Zhang Kaiwen's eyes flickered. "I really want to know what kind of expression that bastard will have when he finds out that you're the one who stole his girl."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Yan Baisheng smiled deeply.
Yuan's father wandered around the county town for a day, asking around for news about Yan Baisheng.
