After listening to this, Shen Tingci rarely raised the corners of his lips.
He has a cool look and his smile is as clear as a magnolia flower.
"I understand your thoughts, uncle, but I want to argue. From my perspective, our family is just an ordinary one, so I don't think there's any prejudice against family background."
After saying this, Shen Tingci apologized again, "Uncle may think that what I said is not very pleasant to hear, but this is my true words."
Gu Juyuan could also understand, "Maybe you don't think so, but the fact is that there is a gap in family background."
Shen Tingci also nodded, "I understand. I can understand your concerns as a father. I do have modern ideas."
"But what I can assure you is that I am not an irresponsible person."
"Since I want to marry someone, I can guarantee that I will be loyal to this marriage and be responsible for it."
"And ensure that she will not suffer any grievances in the marriage."
After Shen Tingci finished speaking, he could see that Gu Juyuan was still hesitant, so he said, "Perhaps you think it would be better for Shuhe to marry someone who you think is of equal status, but I don't think so."
Gu Juyuan was stunned, obviously not knowing why he said that.
Shen Tingci continued, "Shuhe is just like you said, a simple person."
"I guess you took good care of her."
"Someone like her needs someone who can protect her, doesn't she?"
"If you follow your idea and choose a girl of the same age as him, from a family you consider simple, then have you ever thought about her life after marriage?"
Gu Juyuan didn’t understand, after marriage?
After marriage, just live your life. As long as the man is not lazy or unfaithful, just live your life. The couple can live a good life!
"After marriage, she not only faces her marriage partner, but also his family and the daily necessities of life."
"If she had found a suitable family according to your ideas, her current job might be in trouble."
Gu Juyuan frowned. "What's the problem?"
"Because most girls need to give up their family life after marriage."
"The man has a job, so he'd think it's okay for her to earn less. Of course, it's just a little less, but she still needs to work. But she works in the county town. If you find her a partner nearby, after marriage, she won't accept living apart, so you'll definitely ask Shuhe to come back from the county town."
"If the man doesn't have a job, and Shu He gets pregnant, will his family think it's more appropriate for him to do the job?"
Gu Juyuan got a little angry after hearing this, "Don't think too badly of people."
Shen Tingci nodded, "I admit that my upbringing has made me suspicious and overthinking."
"But I know a saying: 'A poor couple has many sorrows!'"
Gu Juyuan opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but felt that nothing could stop him.
Because what Shen Tingci said was not unreasonable.
Everything Shen Tingci said was possible.
Gu Juyuan had nothing to say, but Shen Tingci did say, "I may not be able to give Shuhe a rich and luxurious life, but I can assure you that I can make sure she has enough food and clothing."
"And after marriage, she doesn't need to sacrifice her personal life for the family."
"She can continue doing the work she loves."
"Besides, I work in the county town, so there is no distance problem between her and me."
Gu Juyuan was smart. He immediately sensed something in this sentence and asked, "Did you transfer Xiaohe's job?"
Shen Tingci “…”
He clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed twice before Shen Tingci nodded.
Gu Juyuan frowned and looked at him.
Shen Tingci was rarely embarrassed. "I know this is very abrupt."
“But I was trying to fight for myself.”
"You rejected this marriage proposal. I thought you didn't know me well enough!"
"Even though you came today, I still don't understand you," Gu Juyuan muttered to himself.
Shen Tingci also explained this matter, "I just told my uncle that I am a person with some modern ideas. I think that when it comes to marriage, it is better for both parties to like each other. As for blind dates, I think it is like two commodities for sale, with their prices and values put on the shelf just for people to choose. To be honest, I personally am quite opposed to this."
Gu Juyuan looked at him with a very puzzled look, and that look was very clear: So what are you doing here today?
"But... cough cough," he coughed twice more, "but Shuhe said that she doesn't choose free love. She wants her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words to arrange a relationship."
"That's why I took the liberty to come here today."
As he spoke, he stood up and took something out of his back pocket and handed it to Gu Juyuan, "This is my party membership certificate. It can prove that my family background is clean."
"As for my character, I don't dare ask you to believe everything I say, but I hope you can try to believe me."
"I really want to marry Shuhe."
Gu Juyuan took the other party's membership card somewhat at a loss, "...Hey, you, we...we still need to ask Shuhe what he thinks."
Gu Juyuan thought about it and asked again, "You have never been married, right?"
As he spoke, his eyes swept over all the strands of Shen Tingci's hair.
Shen Tingci not only has good facial features and a slender figure, but his hair is also smoother and blacker than that of ordinary people. It is obvious that he has never suffered hardship.
Gu Juyuan always felt uneasy about such a person who was still not married at the age of 27.
Although it was abrupt, Gu Juyuan still wanted to ask.
Shen Tingci immediately shook his head.
"So you're still not married at 27?"
Speaking of this...
"I had a partner before, but she responded to the call and went to the countryside, so my marriage was delayed for a while."
“I never found the right one after that.”
"As I just told you, I believe in freedom of marriage and love. I only started going on blind dates in the past two years because my parents were also very anxious."
After hearing what he said, Gu Juyuan looked at him a few more times and seemed to understand.
Because he also has a son who got married at the age of 26.
At that time, many of them had never met before getting married, and met for the first time on their wedding day.
Before marriage, many people don’t even know whether their partner is flat or round.
It's all the parents' orders and matchmaker's words.
When they reach a certain age, their parents will find someone suitable to introduce them to, and the marriage will be settled after both parties discuss it.
Unlike the young people nowadays, who are picky and choose, thinking this is not good and that is not good.
You have to pick one that suits your taste.
Gu Juyuan understood him, but still said, "I'll ask Xiaohe about this when she comes back."
"Her mother isn't home recently. We have to wait for someone to come back and ask her mother and discuss it with the family."
Shen Tingci nodded to show his understanding, “Well, okay, I’ll come back in a few days.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Juyuan quickly waved his hand, "...Let, let Director Wang come. No need to trouble you to run back and forth."
"It's okay, it's not far," Shen Tingci said.
Gu Juyuan: “…”
I can't tell, is it that you don't want to greet him?
But it was difficult to say this, so Gu Juyuan could only return his party membership card to him and signaled that he could leave.
