Damn, you have such a sharp tongue.
Wen Tang wanted to slap his own mouth: You’re such a jerk, speak up.
He was so annoyed that he became autistic!
Before she could say anything, Gu Shuhe had already spoken, her face sincere, "There are no slaves in New China!"
"Who are these slaves you're talking about?"
Shen Tingci was speechless all of a sudden.
Does he dare to say that he was secretly criticizing Wen Tang?
Seeing his frustrated look, Wen Tang felt refreshed all of a sudden.
As expected, there is always something that can defeat something else in this world.
Wen Tang immediately asked with a smile, "Could this slave be referring to me?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shuhe's scrutinizing eyes immediately swept towards Shen Tingci.
He also spoke up to help Wen Tang clear his name, "My sister-in-law is a model of economic development. She is very capable."
"And her thinking is particularly advanced..."
Shen Tingci quickly shook his head. "No, I just wanted to correct your sister-in-law's misnomer, but my words were not appropriate. I'm sorry."
Gu Shuhe was still quite protective of her family, and she was still a little unhappy when she heard this, but she was an introverted girl, so she didn't show it obviously. She just said, "My sister-in-law is a very cheerful and straightforward person. Sometimes she likes to joke around. She doesn't mean it, it's just that you don't like it."
"You must be a serious person when you work at the county committee. If calling me sister-in-law makes you unhappy, I apologize. I'm sorry!"
Shen Tingci “…”
Wen Tang silently gave his sister-in-law a thumbs up.
Then he walked to Gu Shuhe, put his head on Gu Shuhe's shoulder, lowered his head and said sadly, "Shuhe, your sister-in-law has embarrassed you."
Gu Shuhe immediately shook his head. "That's not true. We talk like this at home. Comrade Shen is not used to it. I don't blame you."
"Comrade Shen, if you're not buying cigarettes today, what are you buying?" Gu Shuhe looked very distant.
She was not one to get familiar with others quickly, and now she had simply entered a cold and silent state.
Shen Tingci glanced at Wen Tang who was lying on Gu Shuhe's shoulder and said, "Five yuan for soy sauce!"
Gu Shuhe: “…”
"Do you have a bottle?"
"Take it from this side!"
Gu Shuhe turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go help him with some soy sauce!"
Wen Tang raised his head and said, "Well, go ahead!"
Soy sauce is placed in the farthest corner of the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as Gu Shuhe left, Shen Tingci lowered his voice and asked, “Can I ask you a question?”
Only Wen Tang was standing nearby, so needless to say, he was talking to Wen Tang.
Wen Tang looked at him.
He asked, "Maybe it's just my own guess, but I feel like you seem to have something against me."
Wen Tang said: Don’t you understand?
"After Shu He rejected you on a blind date, you transferred Shu He to the county town. As her sister-in-law, shouldn't I have any objections?"
After the words fell, Wen Tang blocked Shen Tingci's words again, "Don't say you didn't do it. It's such an obvious thing, I'm afraid anyone with eyes can see it."
"We Shuhe are simple, but you can't treat others as fools, right?"
In this regard, Shen Tingci did not avoid it, but was very frank, "To be honest, I did it."
"Perhaps you've guessed what I was thinking. I won't hide it from you. I fell in love with Shu He. I wanted to marry her and make her my partner. Of course, she rejected me."
"So transferring her to the county town was a means for me to actively strive for."
"But, other than that, I won't do anything else that's not up to par." Shen Tingci said this to reassure Wen Tang. Otherwise, if Gu Shuhe was taken home, he wouldn't be able to do anything to bully men and women.
As he himself said, New China was founded and there is no such thing.
Wen Tang spread his hands and said, "Since you have admitted it, it is reasonable for me to target you."
Shen Tingci “…”
"Besides, your method is not up to par."
As if knowing that he didn't want to admit it, Wen Tang said, "If you think he's popular, then tell Shu He that you instigated someone to transfer him here."
Shen Tingci fell silent all of a sudden.
Wen Tang felt relieved all of a sudden.
Shen Tingci was not ashamed. "Although my action was inappropriate, I still hope that if Shuhe is interested, you can speak frankly about your dissatisfaction with me. If I have any mistakes, I will correct them. If not, I will encourage you."
Wen Tang shook his head. "You misunderstood. We have no complaints against you. We just hope that Shu He can marry the right person in the future and live a happy life without any grievances."
"When I married my wife, I didn't intend for her to come back and suffer."
Shen Tingci's words made Wen Tang look at him several times.
Shen Tingci thought about it and started to recommend himself, “I don’t have any bad habits, my salary is higher than that of ordinary people, and I won’t let Shu He suffer financially.”
"My company's benefits are better than most people's. After Shuhe and I marry, we won't have to worry about money."
"As for the family, the population is relatively simple."
"I only have one brother and one sister, and no complicated interpersonal relationships."
"Then why are you not married at the age of 27?" Wen Tang asked sincerely.
A word from Gu Juyuan before made Wen Tang suddenly enlightened.
This is not the future. Nowadays, few people get married at the age of 27 or 28.
If so, there must be a reason.
Being picky could be one reason, but I'm afraid there are other reasons.
When asked why he didn't get married, Shen Tingci thought for a moment and said, "If Shuhe asks me in the future, I will answer her."
The meaning is very clear, he will not answer Wen Tang.
Wen Tang nodded, "Well, it doesn't look like a good thing."
Shen Tingci “…”
Just then, Shuhe came over with some soy sauce. "Five dollars of soy sauce, here," Gu Shuhe carried a big pot to him with difficulty.
Who asked him to ask for five dollars!
It takes time to make five yuan worth of soy sauce, but five yuan is really a lot of soy sauce.
Look at Gu Shuhe who is right in front of him, and then look at Wen Tang with an expression that says 'I knew you couldn't hold your fart well'.
Shen Tingci took a step forward and bent down to take the heavy soy sauce bottle from Gu Shuhe's hand.
Then he said, "There is indeed a reason why I am not married at the age of 27." He put the soy sauce bottle on the counter and looked at Gu Shuhe. "I originally had a partner to marry, but when the wedding was about to take place, she responded to the national call and went to the countryside."
Wen Tang: Why do you all love going to the countryside so much?
"I'm a normal person. It takes time to end a relationship, and then look for someone else. I haven't met the right one, so I've been putting it off until now."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Tang and said, "There's nothing I can't tell anyone."
When it was over, he nodded slightly and prepared to leave.
Gu Shuhe looked at the big pot of soy sauce and said, "Soy sauce..."
"I'll ask the cafeteria to get it later!"
Shen Tingci turned and left.
Still looking that cold.
As soon as Gu Shuhe and the others left, they became curious, "Why did he suddenly say this?"
"because……"
Why? Wen Tang thought for a moment and said, "He asked why our family didn't agree to your marriage. I asked him why he hadn't gotten married at this age, and then..."
Gu Shuhe nodded, "So he had a marriage partner before!"
