Chapter 168 It’s Time to Decision
After Zhang Zijun left, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju called Gu Erhui to the room to talk.
"What's your situation now?" Wang Yueju asked Gu Erhui.
A girl of eighteen or nineteen is still a little shy when people talk about her relationship, even in front of her biological parents. Gu Erhui blushed and said, "We are just dating."
"Then when is the right time for you to get engaged?" Wang Yueju asked.
She was mainly afraid that if the two of them were dating without any official status, it would be bad for Erhui's reputation if it got out.
Gu Erhui knew what she meant. In the village, everyone met once during a blind date and then got engaged, but she didn't want that.
"I want to talk about engagement and marriage after a while." Gu Erhui said her thoughts seriously, "We haven't known each other for long, and he used to have that kind of personality. I want to spend more time with him and get to know him better."
Wang Yueju looked at Gu Jianguo after hearing her words. She didn't know what to do. Erhui was right. They hadn't known each other for long. Although Secretary Zhang was a good person, Zhang Zijun had been a bit idle before. He seemed to be doing well now, but how long could he keep doing it?
But being in a relationship with such an unclear relationship is not a good thing.
Gu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's just get along first and talk about it later."
He then told Wang Yueju, "Things are different now than they were before. The city and the village are also different. Besides, both parents know about it."
Wang Yueju was afraid that Erhui would ruin her reputation, and now that Gu Jianguo said so, she had no choice but to agree.
After finishing the conversation, Gu Erhui left their room. Wang Yueju sighed after she left, "Erhui's marriage is finally going well, but why is Yimin's marriage so difficult?"
"Yimin is just 20, not that old." Gu Jianguo said: "Besides, she still has to take the college entrance examination, so there is no rush for marriage."
"That Luo Yongnian," Wang Yueju sighed, "doesn't seem very suitable now. He's old and divorced. Ye Chi..."
Wang Yueju didn't know what to say. People are afraid of comparison. Luo Yongnian and Ye Chi seemed okay before, but compared to Zhang Zijun, I was at a loss for words.
Luo Yongnian is old and divorced. Why would her daughter want to find a divorced man?
Ye Chi, for example, is older and has more family matters to attend to. Although both of them are more capable than Zhang Zijun and appear steady and reliable, Zhang Zijun's overall conditions seem to be better than theirs.
"The key is still to look at Yimin." Wang Yueju sighed again.
Gu Jianguo held her hand and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. Yimin and Erhui have different personalities. Yimin's personality is similar to yours. She thinks a lot."
"What? You think it's not good?" Wang Yueju snorted.
Gu Jianguo immediately said, "How could that be? I think it's great. And you have good taste, too. You're very good at choosing men."
Wang Yueju didn't know what to say. She was so shameless.
Gu Jianguo stopped joking and continued, "Erhui is straightforward and opinionated, so Zhang Zijun is suitable. Yimin is more thoughtful and has a weaker temper, so we need to find someone who is steady and opinionated. We'll take our time to choose."
Wang Yueju was convinced by him and said, "Then keep looking for it. You will eventually find a suitable and good one."
The two were talking about Gu Yimin's marriage in the room, and outside the postman asked Gu Yimin to sign for a letter sent from Kyoto. Gu Erhui glanced at the address. Luo Yongnian was in Kyoto, and Ye Chi was also in Kyoto. She just didn't know who wrote the letter.
Alas, my elder sister is in love!
Gu Yimin took the letter into the house and opened it. It had four pages. Just by looking at the number of pages, he knew it was not Luo Yongnian. Luo Yongnian's letters were no longer than one page.
She flipped to the back of the signature, and it was indeed Ye Chi. The four pages didn't mention anything about his relationship, just some interesting and vivid stories about what happened around him.
After reading the letter, Gu Yimin put it back into the envelope, opened the drawer and put it in, then sat there in a daze.
"Are you thinking about something?" Gu Erhui walked over and sat next to her and asked.
Gu Yimin didn't say anything, so Gu Erhui asked again, "Is it Ye Chi?"
Gu Yimin hummed. Gu Erhui didn't know what she was thinking, so she simply said what she was thinking. "If it were me, I would follow my heart. No one is perfect. Just look at whether you can tolerate his shortcomings and whether you want to change for him. In fact, as long as you want to, many things are not difficult to do."
"I know," Gu Yimin said, "I just don't think I'm good enough, so I don't have that much confidence."
"If you weren't outstanding, how could so many men like you?" Gu Erhui teased, "Luo Yongnian and Ye Chi are both young talents in the eyes of others."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How's the recruitment going?" Gu Yimin changed the subject. Seeing that she still hadn't figured it out, Gu Erhui didn't talk about that anymore. The two sisters talked about recruitment.
"I'm going to check out the decoration in the afternoon. Why don't you go to the store to recruit?" said Gu Erhui.
"OK."
The two sisters agreed, rested for a while, and then went back to their own business. Gu Yimin went to the clothing store and worked with Gu Xueqiang and the others for a while, and also received a few job applicants. At around four or five o'clock, an unexpected person came to the store, Tong Lu.
Didn’t you go abroad?
She was a lot fatter than before. Seeing Gu Yimin, she smiled and said, "I've passed by here several times and never saw you. I happened to see you today."
Gu Yimin smiled and asked, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"It's okay." Tong Lu said apologetically: "I wanted to apologize to you before, but then some things happened at home, and then I gave birth to a child, so I never had the chance to apologize to you."
Gu Yimin waved his hand. "It's all in the past. Has your child's household registration been resolved?"
"It's settled. Follow me." Tong Lu said, "Thinking back on that incident, Luo Yongnian and I were indeed a bit immature, and it affected you."
Gu Yimin smiled and did not comment on that matter.
"Actually, Luo Yongnian is a really good person. He did that for me. You..."
"There's nothing between him and me," Gu Yimin interrupted Tong Lu and said calmly, "Please don't involve him and me in the future."
In fact, some things need to be decided.
Tong Lu was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I just think you two are a good match."
"I don't think it's appropriate." Gu Yimin was really annoyed with Tong Lu. We weren't particularly good friends to begin with. Why would you care about my emotional affairs?
Tong Lu was even more embarrassed, so she smiled and said goodbye. She just felt that Luo Yongnian was implicated in that incident, and wanted to do something for him, but she didn't expect Gu Yimin to have such an attitude.
