Regarding Li Yue'er's request for help and the conditions she offered, Zhou Yuan looked at her graceful figure and finally said with a hardened heart:
"Okay, I promise to help you, but we'll talk about you marrying me later.
I don't want you to be forced to make a choice because of this.
For you and me, marriage is a major event in life. If it is not handled well, it will not bring happiness but lifelong pain.
I hope that through my efforts and personal charm, I can make you truly like me, fall in love with me, and marry me willingly.
Instead of this helpless choice made for money, do you think it's okay?"
"Well, thank you for thinking this way, and thank you for being so broad-minded and taking responsibility for your own life and mine.
Don't worry, no matter what time, I will keep my word. As long as you are willing to marry me, even if you are rich or poor, I will have no complaints. "
Li Yue'er wiped the tears from her face after she finished speaking. Zhou Yuan quickly helped her up and looked at her pitiful little face, saying lovingly:
"Okay, I believe what you said. Go contact your family right away and find out how much money they need so I can prepare."
In fact, Zhou Yuan had a long-term building materials supply contract with the general contractor Liu Dayong, and had sold several batches to him during this period.
It’s 10,000 or 20,000 each time, or even a few thousand.
In total, I have more than 80,000 yuan in my hands, not including the 20,000 or 30,000 yuan I had before.
In addition, the construction of the reservoir he contracted from Liu Dayong was nearing completion and the accounts would be settled soon.
After deducting the workers' wages and all expenses, I can probably earn tens of thousands of yuan.
Therefore, he could actually come up with the money for Li Yue'er's father's medical treatment, but he couldn't say that he had it ready, so he could only find a way to get it together.
If you think like this, and you are being particularly nice to someone and proactively trying to find solutions with her, it will be a plus in her heart.
As a reborn person, Zhou Yuan certainly understands the ways of the world.
Sure enough, his confession and actions caused great waves in Li Yue'er's heart.
This made the beautiful woman more dependent on him and more grateful to him.
Ouyang Xiaomei felt particularly uncomfortable. Although Zhou Yuan did not directly agree to marry Li Yue'er, she felt that Li Yue'er was already grateful to Zhou Yuan because of this matter. As long as Zhou Yuan was willing to do anything for her, she would not object.
For Ouyang Xiaomei, this incident was like a landmine buried next to her that could explode at any time.
It makes her feel very uncomfortable.
So while Li Yue'er was back in the office, calling home, Ouyang Xiaomei ran over, looked at him tenderly and said:
"When Li Yue'er's family was in trouble, you helped her with all your might, without hesitation, and showed such compassion for her.
If something happened to my family, would you be willing to help me like this?"
"Come on, Xiaomei, do you want something to happen to your family? This is no ordinary matter.
Her sister donated a kidney for this. Just imagine how dangerous and painful her life must have been. And Li Yue'er is burdened with a huge debt. How can it be easy for her?"
"So she's eager to marry you to pay off her debts." Ouyang Xiaomei pointed at the office in front and said sarcastically, "Now that you're a contractor, you obviously have a bright future. You're so kind-hearted and handsome. Marrying you is what every girl dreams of.
I think Li Yue'er might have made it up to set a trap for you and kill two birds with one stone."
"No way, what do you mean? Tell me about it." Zhou Yuan took a breath and felt that Ouyang Xiaomei was really creative.
Ouyang Xiaomei snorted coldly and said, "You find it incredible, right?
In my opinion, it is possible. First, you have been defrauded of so much money. Even if you have to pay it back in the future, at least it is interest-free. If you use this money to invest, do you think you can't make money?
Secondly, she'll take this opportunity to express her gratitude to you, crying and shouting that she must marry you in order to repay your kindness and to work like a slave for you. In this way, she'll get a high betrothal gift and marry the man of her dreams. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
After hearing what Ouyang Xiaomei said, Zhou Yuan took a breath, but he shook his head vigorously, thinking it was impossible.
He didn't believe that Li Yue'er was such a person. No matter what, she would not lie about his father's health and deceive him.
Even if her goal is achieved, how will she face herself in the future once the conspiracy is exposed?
How can we survive in this world?
"Old classmate, you don't believe it, right? If you don't believe it, let's investigate slowly. The truth will eventually come out."
After Ouyang Xiaomei finished speaking, she walked away angrily. Zhou Yuan fell into deep thought, which made him a little dazed. He really didn't know whether this matter was true or not, but he believed that he would investigate it thoroughly.
In fact, this matter is very simple. I found out after calling home.
It's just that the construction team has a phone, but Zhou Yuan's family doesn't have one installed, so it's inconvenient to call home. So in the end he wrote a letter, hoping that his mother would find out about the village director's health, whether he was sick, or even about a kidney transplant.
It takes more than ten days to write a letter home, but it is obvious that Li Yue'er cannot wait that long.
Every day she would ask Zhou Yuan with a worried look whether he had prepared the money.
When speaking, Li Yue'er's face was full of misery and her eyes were full of pleading for help. It didn't seem like she was lying.
Zhou Yuan felt very embarrassed, but also very excited.
So on the third day, he couldn't wait for the letter from home, so he went to the post office in town with Li Yue'er to send the money back to Li Yue'er's home, a total of one dollar.
It was considered a loan to her, but Li Yue'er was not asked to write an IOU.
Because Li Yue'er's family had made up the money, and Li Yue'er also received an advance of half a year's salary, he sent it back home, saying it was nutrition money for his father.
Since the money had already been sent, Zhou Yuan didn't dwell on it anymore.
Because there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with on the construction site, there were dozens of people on the construction site, as well as excavators, bulldozers, and a series of other infrastructure equipment.
He has so many things to deal with every day, so he is very busy. He can only relax a little after work and dinner in the evening.
Sometimes he wanted to ask Li Yue'er out to talk, but Ouyang Xiaomei always stayed by his side at this time, and would offend him if she found out that the two of them were going out alone.
I would follow him with a smile and say, "Boss, are you going out? Take me with you. I'm so bored and tired of being alone."
"When you're bored, you're looking for Liu Yiming. You won't be bored when he's around. Didn't you see that we already have an appointment?
So it’s inconvenient for you to go.”
Zhou Yuan said bluntly that he was ordering someone to leave.
Ouyang Xiaomei didn't care about that. She followed him with a playful smile, ran up to him and took his hand attentively, saying very gently:
"Just take me with you. You're not boyfriend and girlfriend, and you're not going out on a date or doing anything shameful. Why don't you let me go?"
"This?" Faced with someone who looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Zhou Yuan was speechless and helpless.
