Immediately afterwards, an extremely serious expression appeared on her face, as bright and determined as the most brilliant star in the night sky.
She gazed into Bai Ye's eyes and said softly, word by word:
"My little rascal, I won't rush you. Actually, just the thought itself is enough for me!"
If you encounter any difficulties, please don't try to bear it alone. Remember to tell your sister. After all, as a woman myself, I understand women's feelings quite well.
So, if we really run into a problem, we can brainstorm and come up with ideas together!
Bai Ye nodded repeatedly, deeply moved: "Mmm!"
Sometimes she is gentle and considerate like a caring older sister, and sometimes she is beautiful and charming like a female CEO. Sister Qingyue is truly a woman who is both lovable and respectable!
Such an understanding and considerate woman is truly rare.
If it were any other girl, she would probably be wary and hostile towards any man who gets close to her boyfriend, and would want to drive them all away.
However, Sister Qingyue was completely different. She not only gave Bai Ye ample freedom and time, but also never interfered with any of his decisions. She even put herself in his shoes and took the initiative to help him analyze problems and come up with solutions.
How could such magnanimity and care not win one's heart?
Overjoyed and moved, Bai Ye suddenly recalled the thought that had been lingering in his mind all day, causing him great distress.
After a moment's hesitation, he finally mustered his courage and cautiously asked Sister Qingyue, "Sister Qingyue, if I want to marry you, how much dowry would I need to prepare?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyue was slightly taken aback, but then couldn't help but chuckle at Bai Ye's cautious demeanor.
She gently reached out her delicate hand and pinched Bai Ye's cheek with a hint of reproach, saying coquettishly:
"Silly little brother, with my wealth, why would I need you to give me a dowry? You've got it backwards! It should be me giving you a dowry! Forget about a mere dowry, I could transfer all the houses in the neighborhood to your name without a problem!"
And those luxury cars parked in the garage—feel free to choose any that catch your eye. If none of them suit your taste, then I'll personally take you to a dealership, where you can pick and choose your favorite car.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's face immediately darkened, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Oh my god, this sounds like I'm going to be a live-in son-in-law!
The pride of a man, as a dignified and manly man, was instantly and intensely challenged like never before.
However, in the face of that glittering gold, dignity seems to become insignificant.
People often say, "I will not bow down for five pecks of rice," and we have great respect for such people.
However, only when you have personally experienced moments of despair can you truly understand the precious value of money.
Bai Ye, a child born from the lowest rungs of society, had parents who initially left their hometown to make a living by running a snack business.
Later, due to his arrival, his parents resolutely decided to return to their hometown to look for job opportunities.
He once had a carefree and happy childhood in the countryside, where he could play and frolic freely in the vast fields.
With the changing times and the development of technology, the Internet has swept in like a surging wave, and Bai Ye has also taken this opportunity to leave the countryside and step into the city.
At first, he was just a clueless country boy, like a little dog covered in mud.
However, as the years passed and his life experience increased, he gradually washed away the mud on his body, broadened his horizons, and began to have a broader understanding of the world.
But fate played a cruel trick on him. Just when he thought he could escape his predicament, he plunged headlong into another muddy pond.
Despite owning a small factory, they still couldn't escape the fate of working for others.
They could only take on business from other bosses, and then had to be humble and subservient to them.
Even worse, some bosses deliberately delay settling payments, making collecting debts an incredibly difficult task.
Once, Bai Ye accompanied her father to the unloading site and witnessed firsthand the ugly faces of those bosses.
They always complain about the poor state of the industry and claim to be short of money, using this as an excuse to delay payments. (This is almost always the case around the Chinese New Year; they owe over 100,000 yuan and always use this excuse.)
Although his father kept saying "It's nothing, it's nothing," everyone present knew perfectly well what was going on!
After all, debts accumulate like a snowball, growing larger and larger. If you keep pressing the other party to repay, you might really push them to the brink and they might abscond with the money, which would be a huge loss!
As the year draws to a close, those bosses can't resist the urge to play cards and keep inviting their fathers to play a few rounds together.
His father, though extremely unwilling, reluctantly accepted the invitation to maintain the fragile facade of their relationship. He had no choice; the other family owed them a large sum of money. If the relationship soured, collecting the debt later would be even more difficult!
However, after dealing with them for so long, his father already had a clear understanding of which bosses were well-off and which were short of money.
Therefore, when it comes to taking orders and arranging work, his father had a firm grasp on which boss's materials to prioritize.
Needless to say, those with huge debts will naturally have to obediently wait in line. This is not just a matter of order, but also a matter of reputation and credibility!
Bai Ye had worked alongside his father and personally experienced the hardship and exhaustion of moving and loading/unloading goods.
Often, after a whole afternoon of work, by nightfall, my arms feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and even lifting them becomes a luxury. (Personal experience.)
If you were to ask what Bai Ye desires most deep down right now, it would definitely be money!
Because he knew that as long as he had enough money, he could easily obtain many things he dreamed of; on the contrary, if he was penniless, all that awaited him was continuous loss, and he might even lose his last bit of dignity.
Money, though the root of all evil in the world, is also like a wishing tree with magical powers, capable of fulfilling countless wishes.
