Guizhi, that's Lin's mother's name; her full name is Zhang Guizhi.
Lin's mother's friend's name was Li Yue'e.
Actually, Li Yue'e wanted to put it more tactfully. For example, she wasn't too clear about the outcome of the two children's blind date. She suggested that the adults shouldn't interfere and should let the children make their own connections, and then the matter would be dropped.
That makes things look a bit better.
However, as she told her niece, she and Zhang Guizhi had a very good relationship. If she said that, and Zhang Guizhi took it seriously, and Lin Yun missed the opportunity to go on blind dates with other girls, then she would be letting her friend down.
It's the end of the year now, and many young men and women who work away from home have returned, making it a good time for blind dates.
Lin Yun is not young anymore, so we can't delay any longer.
Furthermore, they have a good relationship, so they can say many things directly.
"It's alright. I only just found out that Yunzi has a girlfriend outside. I even arranged for him to go on a blind date with your niece today. I should be the one feeling embarrassed," Lin's mother said with a smile.
Originally, she hadn't planned to bring this up, but her friend's words were too direct, making her feel somewhat embarrassed. She had no choice but to address the issue to save face for herself.
"Yunzi has a girlfriend outside?" Li Yue'e asked in surprise.
"That's a good thing. It just means that Yunzi and Yanyan are not meant to be..." Li Yue'e then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
The two talked for another ten minutes or so before Lin's mother went home.
"It's a pity. We've practically watched Yunzai grow up. He's a good person, and he earns over ten thousand a month now. He must be doing quite well. It's a shame that Yanyan didn't like him. He already has a girlfriend..." Li Yue'e sighed slightly and said.
"He has a damn girlfriend. I guess his family is just saying that to save face. He earns tens of thousands a month. If he says so, then it's true. I could say I earn thirty thousand a month!" A man who was lying in a chair reading a newspaper put down his newspaper, curled his lip, and said.
This man was Lin Minghui, Li Yue'e's husband.
He was never very satisfied with the friend Li Yue'e had made. The family grew and sold vegetables and didn't have much savings in a year. What was the use of making a friend like that?
Yes, it's still somewhat useful.
The other party often delivers vegetables to their family, and it's all free.
But how much are those vegetables worth?
He doesn't care about much sentimentality.
"How can you say that? Guizhi isn't that kind of person, and neither is her family!" Li Yue'e frowned, dissatisfied.
"Alright, alright, stop worrying about your niece. She's pretty enough, why are you worried she won't find a good partner? Even if Lin Yun earns tens of thousands a month outside, so what? With prices rising so much these days, tens of thousands a month might not even be enough to live on in a big city! Earning tens of thousands a month at home is more like it!" Lin Minghui waved his hand and said.
“Don’t be so picky. Look at your niece’s best friend. She’s getting married in a couple of days. What a great family she’s found! Her fiancé is a civil servant, and his father is the head of a police station! If Yanyan finds such a good partner, our family will benefit. Not to mention anything else, in Xianyuan County, who would dare to bully us?” After a pause, Lin Minghui said with a hint of envy, as if he had just thought of something.
"You're always thinking about taking advantage of others! Your standards are too high, but the problem is that if your standards are too high, you'll end up with nothing! Besides, who can say what will happen to someone in the future? If you're unlucky, no matter how well you marry, your partner might have problems after you get married! If you're lucky, no matter how badly you marry, your partner might start to prosper after you get married!" Li Yue'e rolled her eyes at her husband and said irritably.
“I think Yunzai is quite good. He’s looked like he’ll amount to something since he was little…” Li Yue’e said after a pause.
"Ha! If he were any good, would he have dropped out of high school? What kind of future can someone who didn't even go to university have? By the way, Yan Yan is a university student. You're introducing a male high school student to a female university student? Really!" Lin Minghui said with a sneer.
"I'm telling you this: if he's any successful, I'll cut my head off and let you kick it around like a ball. I bet he'll only make a few thousand a month at most. Maybe he's just a laborer on a construction site. There are pretty good jobs on construction sites these days. Tsk tsk, you know what, it's actually quite possible. That kid's been practicing martial arts since he was little, he's got real strength. Think about it, he doesn't have any education, where else can he find a job that makes a few thousand a month besides a construction site..."
...
"Brother, can I ask you something?" Lin Duo'er said shyly while tidying up Lin Yun's room.
"What is it?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
"There are a few boys at school who want to pursue me. I don't want to talk to them, but they are thugs. I want you to teach them a lesson..." Lin Duo'er said, her face slightly flushed.
"Hehe, I know. I'll go to the school with you tomorrow to check it out. How dare some thugs try to hit on my sister? They really don't want to live. Back in the day, your brother was the school's thug killer..." Lin Yun said with a smile.
"That's great, brother, you're so kind!" Lin Duo'er exclaimed excitedly.
Then, Lin Duo'er turned around and happily skipped away.
Seeing this, Lin Yun smiled and shook his head.
He estimated that the matter was not as serious as his sister had described.
However, since his sister has said so, he will go and take a look.
In short, as long as his sister is happy.
Lin Village is not large, and there are not many people of Lin Yun's age.
That evening, some young people, knowing Lin Yun had returned, invited him to play cards, but Lin Yun declined.
Then, there was silence.
The next day, Lin Yun went to school with her younger sister.
"Xiaohua, this is my brother!"
"Nannan, this is my brother!"
Along the way, Lin Duo'er cheerfully greeted each girl she knew, and each time she introduced Lin Yun to them, which left Lin Yun speechless.
However, Lin Yun was also very pleased.
It's clear how proud he is of his sister.
"Is that Lin Duo'er's brother?"
"Is he the legendary Lin Yun from our school?"
"So handsome!"
"He's mature and handsome. He looks so different from the immature boys in our school. Hmm... he's better than those thugs on the street..."
Some girls secretly glanced at Lin Yun and whispered among themselves.
Some of the girls blushed slightly as they spoke.
Lin Yun had excellent hearing and overheard many students' hushed conversations, which amused him.
To be honest, his sister was right. Some of these young girls really do like him, which left him speechless.
However, at the same time, he heard something interesting.
It's about his sister.
