But Liuzi was so nice, offering him cigarettes and pouring him water, so he couldn't find an excuse to lose his temper.
"Don't think I'll support you dating my sister just like that. I'm telling you, it's impossible! My sister has been spoiled by us since she was a child. She can't stand hardship at all. She also told us about your family situation. Even if you two get married, you can't let my sister enjoy the good life. Don't hurt her."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaolong added another sentence because of Liuzi's good attitude.
"Of course, I'm not being scornful, nor am I attacking your profession. Whether it's farming or having a stable job, you earn money through your own hard work. But I want my sister to find someone with better conditions. Do you understand what I mean?"
Liuzi nodded seriously, no longer smiling as usual.
He knew that if he wanted to be with Zhang Xiaoying, he had to get past his brother-in-law first.
"Brother, what you said makes sense. I know you're doing this for Xiaoying's own good, but since we're already dating, we can't break up so easily. Otherwise, what will happen? My family's conditions aren't that bad. I just discussed it with my grandmother today and plan to buy a courtyard house. When Xiaoying and I get married, she'll have better living conditions."
When Zhang Xiaolong heard Liuzi say this, his first reaction was disbelief.
If they could afford a courtyard house, my sister wouldn't say that at home.
Those who can afford a courtyard house in the city are not poor.
"Alright, I hate bragging. If you really had the money to buy a courtyard house, would my sister still emphasize your family background? Poverty isn't shameful, but vanity is. Alright, I won't say any more. If you know how to be practical, stay away from my sister and don't go to the dinner party tomorrow. It's best to just end it like that."
Although Zhang Xiaolong still disagreed, his tone was obviously not as aggressive as before.
Liuzi couldn't bring himself to tell others that he had small yellow croakers, as he felt so embarrassed that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
"How could I lie about something like this? I can really pay this much."
Zhang Xiaolong sneered.
"Really? There's a yard for sale near my house for 8,000 yuan. The family there is going abroad, so why don't you just buy it? If you two really get married in the future, it will be convenient for Xiaoying to go back to her parents' home."
Liuzi definitely cannot come up with eight thousand yuan now, but once Zhou Jingchuan sells the small yellow croaker, he can buy a house in minutes.
"Okay, then buy this."
Zhang Xiaolong was surprised, and became even more angry after he realized what was happening. This Liuzi was really stubborn and acted pretentiously in front of him.
"Okay, don't just talk the talk, I'm not my sister, I can't be easily fooled by you, let's go, I'll take you to buy it now."
Liuzi glanced at the time and said, "Wait a little longer until our boss comes back. I'll get the money and we'll go."
Zhang Xiaolong was just making a bet with him, and today he was determined to expose Liuzi's lies.
Then the two grown men sat in the office staring at each other, and the atmosphere was obviously very awkward.
When Zheng Guiying learned that Liuzi was taken to the office by a man with a fierce expression, she felt uneasy and couldn't help but come over to ask.
After seeing that Liuzi was fine, he left.
After waiting for two hours, Zhang Xiaolong was getting impatient when Zhou Jingchuan finally came back.
When Liuzi saw the eldest brother coming back, he was so excited that he almost cried.
"Boss, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend's eldest brother. We just had a chat, and he doesn't believe I have the money to buy a house. Please give me the money quickly. My eldest brother-in-law has a suitable courtyard house. I'd like to go with him to take a look."
As he said this, he winked at Zhou Jingchuan.
Zhou Jingchuan had already helped him sell the two small yellow croakers. It was inconvenient to carry so much cash, so he just opened a passbook and deposited all the money into it.
"Okay, go ahead. Take this."
As he said this, he took out the passbook and handed it to Liuzi.
When Liuzi saw the amount above, his expression improved a little.
"Come on, brother, let's go and see it now."
Zhang Xiaolong was half-believing and half-doubting, and followed Liuzi out.
He came here on a motorcycle, and Liuzi planned to go there by bicycle, so he just shamelessly hitchhiked.
Zhang Xiaolong gritted his teeth, thinking that he would soon be able to expose his lies, so it would be okay to give him a ride.
Liuzi shamelessly borrowed his brother-in-law's motorcycle, and the two went directly to the courtyard.
The owner of the house was a kind middle-aged woman who seemed to know Zhang Xiaolong. She enthusiastically took them to see the house.
The house is really nice, tidy and well decorated inside. You can move in directly after moving your things.
This house looks impressive no matter where it is placed, because the yard is simply decorated and looks very classy.
"Auntie, can this house be any cheaper? I think it's nice and I really want to buy it."
Liuzi is not a pushover. The location here is good and the house is nice, so he just bought it.
"Eight thousand yuan is the lowest. This house is great, and we really have no choice. Otherwise, we would never sell it."
After all this talk, it’s not cheap at all.
Zhang Xiaolong sneered, thinking that Liuzi was deliberately delaying time.
"Just tell me whether you're going to buy it or not. If you can't afford it, forget it. You don't have to have dinner with my parents tomorrow. We don't like liars in our family."
Liuzi gritted his teeth.
"Okay, eight thousand is eight thousand. I'll buy it. Auntie, come with me to the credit union to withdraw the money."
The middle-aged woman didn't expect Liuzi to be so straightforward and was also stunned.
Eight thousand yuan is not a small sum of money these days. Many people have come to see the house, but they all think it is too expensive.
Not only was the woman stunned, but Zhang Xiaolong beside her was also in disbelief.
"Don't brag, do you have so much money?"
Liuzi took out the passbook and waved it in front of Zhang Xiaolong.
"See? I can afford two, not just one."
Zhang Xiaolong's face turned red when he looked at the amount on it.
Could it be that this guy is pretending to be poor to deceive his sister? He is really sick. I have seen people pretending to be rich, but I have never seen people pretending to be poor.
"Where did you get so much money?"
"I earned it from working. Do you think I'm just an ordinary employee in the factory? I'm half a partner of our boss."
Liuzi said shamelessly that he had to find a suitable source of money.
Zhang Xiaolong was completely speechless. Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Liuzi directly took out 8,000 yuan and gave it to the aunt. The two signed a contract and the aunt gave him the land deed, which meant the transaction was successful.
Zhang Xiaolong felt like he was dreaming. This guy actually spent 8,000 yuan to buy a courtyard house.
He suddenly felt that there seemed to be no reason to object.
"Brother, now that I've bought the house, you should believe it, right? Xiaoying is with me, and I will never let her suffer the slightest injustice. You can put your mind at ease."
