Chapter 32: I don’t need to eat this meal anymore! ...
"Is it reliable?" Yu Li asked.
"Reliable, of course reliable." The person who spoke to Yu Li was the matchmaker, and Yu Li got in touch with the matchmaker through other people.
Not only Yu Li had seen this matchmaker, but many female college students had seen this matchmaker. This matchmaker went around various universities, looking for female college students who wanted to stay in the city.
The matchmaker's surname is Mei, which means plum blossom. She selects college students for the men and women in the city. Both male and female college students are acceptable. They also have a code word: go see the plum blossoms.
It's better to have a matchmaker introduce a date than for them to find someone on their own. They are not from South City, so they don't know whose family background is good and whose is bad. Finding an ordinary person who can't help solve the problem of work is not a good choice. This is like a mysterious organization, and only a few people know about it.
When Yu Li saw that Su Xueqing had found a good partner, she became anxious. Just then, someone came to her and told her about this matchmaker.
"You can go with your classmate." Mei Matchmaker said, "Two girls go together, what if your classmate falls in love with him? It doesn't matter. If this one doesn't work, we can always find another one. There are many single young men in the city, and their families all like college girls like you."
"Can you guarantee to stay in the city?" Yu Li asked.
"Absolutely. Get married and let them find a way to arrange a job for you in the city." Mei Matchmaker said, "Your school is good, and you can give up the assigned job and work for a private company. There are many ways to stay in the city. It depends on whether you want to stay in the city."
"I...will take a look first." Yu Li said, "Where can I watch it? I have to watch it during the day."
"During the day, in a park with lots of people." Mei Matchmaker said, "Not in a park near a school, but near other schools, in the city, anything is fine. Or in a restaurant, there's no problem at all. You can do whatever suits you best, don't worry, I'm not lying, I'm not trying to lure you to the countryside. You also know me through other people, others have found partners in the city, you can do the same."
"Let's take a look first." Yu Li said.
"The ones I'm introducing to you are not ugly or rotten." Mei Matchmaker said, "Your Nancheng University is the best school in the province and is ranked among the best in the country. The college students in your school are all better. Don't worry, if you are sure you want to meet, I will arrange it."
"Let's arrange it." Yu Li said.
Yu Li and Mei the matchmaker met in a corner of Nancheng University. Mei the matchmaker arranged for Yu Li to meet the man in a restaurant. They ate together, and Mei the matchmaker was there, so Yu Li could feel safer. After things were settled, Mei the matchmaker went to find Lin's mother.
When Lin's mother learned that Mei the matchmaker had arranged a meeting with a college student from Nancheng University, she felt relieved. Look, her son didn't go on a blind date with Su Xueqing, and her son could still go on a blind date with another female college student soon, and she was still from Nancheng University.
After the matchmaker left, Lin Jincai returned home and his mother told him about Yu Li.
"She is a student at Nancheng University." Lin's mother emphasized, "Don't you like talented students? She is one."
"Mom, is there any need to be so anxious?" Lin Jincai said.
"I'm anxious, very anxious." Lin's mother said, "I thought Su Xueqing was too young before, and she was too beautiful. Who knows if she will have other thoughts in the future. When looking for a wife, you should look for someone who is virtuous, not too bad-looking, and can make a living. If you are with Su Xueqing, Su Xueqing will control you. If you are with others, you will control others."
Lin's mother didn't want Lin Jincai to be with the person he loved. She was afraid that Lin Jincai would only have his wife in his heart and not his mother, and that Lin Jincai would embarrass her for his wife. Lin's mother wanted a daughter-in-law who could be under her control. A student from the countryside who was admitted to university would be a perfect match.
"The home of this female college student is in the town, not completely in the countryside." Lin's mother said, "She is not that rustic. Her parents are from another province. It's good to be from another province. She has no relatives here and few friends. If you two quarrel, she has nowhere to go. It's impossible for her to run to her parents' home. If she throws a tantrum, you don't need to comfort her. She will come back on her own."
"Let's meet her." Lin Jincai said. Su Xueqing's figure appeared in his mind again. He liked Su Xueqing so much, but Su Xueqing was with the Ning family.
Lin's father is a leader who is used to playing both sides. Lin Jincai learned to be smooth from his father. Lin Jincai knows that he cannot offend the Ning family for a woman. Su Xueqing doesn't like him. If Su Xueqing likes him, he will give up Su Xueqing. A woman is not as important as his future.
Su Xueqing and the others didn't know that Lin Jincai was about to go on a blind date with Yu Li. Xiang Yutong and Yu Li lived in the same dormitory, and the school had not arranged for other students to live there. Students in the first and second years of Nancheng University can change their majors. Some people don't like the major they study when they enter the school. As long as they meet the requirements, they can change to the major they want to study.
The college means to wait and see if anyone wants to change majors. If so, the dormitories will be merged. If no one changes majors, the dormitories will be adjusted according to needs.
At noon, Ning Jiaxuan came over to have lunch with Su Xueqing. Her brother was busy at the company, and she didn't want to face her parents alone. She didn't want to go somewhere else to play, but she didn't really want to play, so she just came to Su Xueqing's place.
"It's a pity that you didn't participate in the ballroom dance club activities." Ning Jiaxuan sighed, "Do I know what I saw?"
"What did you see?" Su Xueqing was puzzled. "Did you see a handsome guy?"
"Handsome guys, there are so many. Not handsome guys, but other things." Ning Jiaxuan said.
"What?" Su Xueqing didn't understand.
"I saw someone talking about a blind date over there." Ning Jiaxuan said, "The music was very loud, I still heard it."
"Blind date?" Su Xueqing didn't quite understand. Wasn't it a club activity? How could she say blind date?
"Yes, it's a blind date. I didn't hear it wrong." Ning Jiaxuan said, "I don't know what it was like in detail. I just heard it. My mother told me to go on a blind date and find a good partner while I'm still young. She said I should start choosing early so that the good partner won't be chosen by others. The older a woman is, the smaller her range of choices is. As long as a man is a little older and has money, he has a wider range of choices. Like my brother, he has money and can choose you, and you are almost six years younger than him."
"Uh..." Su Xueqing didn't expect Ning Jiaxuan to use Ning Yanjing as an example, "After graduation, the country will assign jobs to you. People from the same city may not be assigned to the same place to work."
"Yes." Ning Jiaxuan said, "You don't have to worry about your job. You are guaranteed to be able to enter the unit you want. Your academic performance is so good that the teachers all praise you. You don't need to rely on others, you can go by yourself. You are not relying on my brother, my brother is just the icing on the cake. If anyone dares to use tricks to snatch your place, we will snatch it back."
"Okay, let's eat." Su Xueqing said, "I don't have classes this afternoon, but I have classes in the evening."
"Classes in the evening?" Ning Jiaxuan didn't pay attention to the schedule. "No, I'm going back to sleep. I'll look at your notes later and see the key points of the final exam."
"..." Su Xueqing thought that she didn't need to highlight the key points for Ning Jiaxuan herself, as the teacher would highlight the key points for Ning Jiaxuan separately.
After dinner, Ning Jiaxuan went to play with other people. Su Xueqing did not go to the library, but went to Su's house. Su Xueqing went to check the refrigerator at home and buy some things. Aunt Su had not returned yet, so Su Xueqing felt bad not to go there once.
When Su Xueqing went there, she was still buying things on the street. If she went to a place too far to buy something, Su Xueqing couldn't carry it because it was too heavy and weighed her down.
"Xueqing is back."
"Xueqing, did you really buy the refrigerator for your house?"
"Did your partner pay for it? Your partner is really nice to you. Does your partner know anyone who is still single? Do you want to find a partner?"
…
Some people saw the Ning family's wealth and wanted their family members to date people like the Ning family. Some people always thought that if Su Xueqing was okay, their daughter would be okay too.
"I don't know. I'm not a matchmaker." Su Xueqing didn't plan to introduce potential partners to the children of these neighbors. Being a matchmaker was hard work, and Su Xueqing didn't have time to be a matchmaker.
"We are all neighbors. If you live a good life, don't forget us neighbors." Someone said, "Introduce us. You won't lose anything."
"I should go home." Su Xueqing didn't continue talking to these people, nor did she want to keep smiling.
Xu's mother sat in the yard fanning herself. She heard what those people said to Su Xueqing and she thought it was ridiculous. Others finally found a good partner and they haven't gotten married yet, just engaged. Others can't just mess around. What if something goes wrong and they can't get married? If it were me, I would have to wait until I get married before thinking about other things and take it slow.
"Xu's family, doesn't your Ruyun still have a partner?" Someone saw Xu's mother and turned the topic to Xu Ruyun.
"Don't worry, she can find one herself." Xu's mother said, "Nowadays, people value free love."
Xu's mother really wanted to roll her eyes. Did these people want her to go to Su's mother and ask Su Xueqing to introduce Xu Ruyun to someone? Haha, Xu's mother couldn't do that. Wouldn't that be like bending down and bowing her head, being humble to the ground?
They asked the Su family to introduce a partner to them, and they wanted someone of Ning Yanjing's level. No one else would introduce one, and others would think that the Xu family was too generous.
It is impossible for Xu's mother to seek trouble for herself. She knows this without anyone's explicit instruction or hint.
"Xueqing is still studying, so don't make things difficult for her." Xu's mother said, "She is so young, how can she know whether to have a blind date or not. She may not even know how she got together with her boyfriend."
When Su Xueqing entered the house, she did not listen to the conversation between Xu's mother and those people.
"You brought so many things again. Did you bring more food back because Second Aunt is here?" Second Aunt Su joked, "Are you worried that Second Aunt will bankrupt your parents?"
"You can bring it even if you're not here." Su Xueqing said, "Now, apart from the expenses on studying, I have basically no expenses in other places. I don't have to worry about food and accommodation. When I go back to where I live, there will be food."
"Is it okay for you to always bring things to your mother's house like this?" Aunt Su said in a low voice, "Will your partner be unhappy?"
"He bought the refrigerator." Su Xueqing said, "He doesn't mind these things. He doesn't mind if I buy them outside or bring them directly from where I live. He's very generous, not stingy at all."
"That's good, that's good." Second Aunt Su was worried that Su Xueqing's behavior would make Ning Yanjing unhappy.
"I bought a pig's trotter." Su Xueqing said, "and some pork belly."
These things were a bit heavy, so Su Xueqing bought two kilograms of apples and didn't buy more because she was afraid that she couldn't lift them. Even with these things, Su Xueqing stopped several times on the road before bringing them back home.
"You are much better than your elder sister. Your elder sister takes things from home." Aunt Su said.
“I don’t compare myself with my eldest sister.” Amelia Su said. The two of them were completely incomparable. It’s not that Amelia Su looked down on Amelia Su, but that sisters can’t stand the comparison and are prone to problems.
The relationship between Amelia Su and Su Xueqing is already very bad. If they continue to compare, Amelia Su will only be more angry. Amelia Su and Amelia Su are not at the same level of cultural level. In the future, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger.
"That's right, they can't be compared." Aunt Su Er said, "This pig's trotter needs to be processed so that there is no hair on it. I am just taking advantage of you. I have been eating delicious food these past few days."
"If there's food, just eat it." Su Xueqing said, "The money spent on food is not that much."
"Let's have dinner at home tonight." Old Mrs. Su walked out of the room.
"Okay." Su Xueqing said, "I have classes in the evening. After dinner, I will go back to school for classes."
Su Xueqing didn't know how to handle pig's trotters. She watched Aunt Su find an old plastic bucket. Those old plastic buckets were placed in the corner and not thrown away. Aunt Su burned the plastic and dripped it onto the pig's skin before plucking the hair. Su Xueqing watched Aunt Su's actions. She didn't dare to try. She felt that the fire was about to burn her hands. When plucking the hair, the dripping plastic was still very hot.
"Want to learn?" asked Aunt Su Er.
“No, no, no.” Su Xueqing quickly shook her head, “I just take a look, I can’t learn it.”
Su Xueqing looked down at her hands, and then at the black spots on the pig skin. She was really not suitable for handling this. Pig's trotters are not easy to peel, and pig's trotters will eat farts. If it is meat from other parts, it is better to cut the pig skin directly.
In her previous life, when Su Xueqing went to the supermarket to buy meat, she asked someone to cut off the pig skin because she didn't want it. In this life, when Su Xueqing bought meat, she didn't ask someone to cut off the pig skin because she didn't dare to refuse it. These days, it's rare for people to have meat, and pig skin is also a bit oily.
In the evening, Old Mrs. Su went to the kindergarten to pick up Wei Shanshan, and Su Xueqing went with Old Mrs. Su.
"Grandma, are you the one who picks up Shanshan?" Su Xueqing asked.
"Your third sister-in-law needs to cook." Old Mrs. Su said, "Your parents are all at work. I'll come and pick you up when I'm free."
"Didn't the eldest sister come to pick up Shanshan?" Su Xueqing frowned.
"She keeps saying that she needs to take care of her health. How can we expect her to pick her up?" Old Madam Su sneered. "She didn't even know Shanshan was missing. Your parents said that we would take care of the child for a few years. They didn't say that your eldest sister didn't have to pick up the child. Your eldest sister herself agreed that she didn't have to pick up the child. We will do it all."
When Mrs. Su thought of Amelia Su's bad things, she felt uncomfortable. She was old and had to take care of Shanshan more. If Mrs. Su was left to take care of the children and do housework alone, Mrs. Su and others were afraid that Mrs. Su would be upset.
"It's better this way. She can be less involved and say less, so we can feel more relaxed. It would be a pain if she talked too much and didn't care about the children," said Old Mrs. Su.
“…” Su Xueqing was speechless. Her grandmother was comforting herself.
The Su family stewed pig's trotters, and the meat was fragrant. Amelia Su smelled it when she went out to buy vegetables. She looked at the ugly vegetables in the basket. In order to get a bargain, she deliberately went to buy vegetables later. Amelia Su went back and threw the basket at home, and went to the Su family again.
Before Amelia Su left home, she looked at the lunch box on the table. She wanted to take the lunch box with her, but then she thought of what Wei Dashan said. Wei Dashan told her not to bring him food from the Su family. Well, Wei Dashan didn't want to eat, so he ate it himself. Amelia Su went to the Su family to eat by herself. She looked down at her belly. She was pregnant, and her family couldn't kick her out.
Forget it, Amelia Su took two steps, then turned back and took out a vegetable from the basket on the table, so that she would not go back to her parents' home empty-handed.
When Mrs. Su and Su Xueqing took Wei Shanshan back home, they saw Amelia Su was already sitting in the living room. Amelia Su was holding an apple and biting it, really not treating herself as an outsider.
“Where did you buy this apple?” Amelia Su said, “It’s crispy and sweet. I’ll buy a few some other day. Third sister-in-law, is the meal ready?”
"Your parents haven't come back yet." said Mrs. Su.
"It's almost five o'clock." Amelia Su looked at the clock.
Amelia Su came over early, fearing that she would have no meat to eat.
“If not, give me some first. I have a baby in my belly.” Amelia Su said.
"You've already eaten an apple to fill your stomach, you can eat later." Amelia Su said bluntly. If Amelia Su was allowed to eat first, Amelia Su could eat a lot by herself.
Amelia Su didn’t buy the meat for Amelia Su alone. She expected Amelia Su to come over and eat the meat, but she didn’t expect Amelia Su to want to eat it in advance.
This won't work!
If Amelia Su eats it once in advance, there will be a second time. By then, no one in the Su family will be able to eat delicious food, as Amelia Su will eat it all.
“You bought the meat, you’re so stingy.” Amelia Su said.
"Yes, I bought the meat!" Su Xueqing said, "You either don't eat it, or wait for your parents to come back and eat it."
“Just wait.” Amelia Su didn’t say that she didn’t want to eat, so she wouldn’t go against the meat.
Second Aunt Su looked out from the backyard, Su Xueqing dared to speak. Second Aunt Su looked at Su Yamei's behavior, she wanted to shake her head, her mother's family was stewing meat, Su Yamei smelled the fragrance and came over, last time they ate dumplings, this time they ate pig's trotters and meat, Su Yamei brought a wilted vegetable, it was not equal at all.
How could a younger generation bring so little to his mother's house to eat and drink for free? Second Aunt Su has only been here for a few days, and Su Yamei has come twice.
"You don't dare to say anything about Yamei." Aunt Su Er went to the kitchen and looked at Aunt Su San who was busy.
"Eldest sister suffered a lot in the countryside, how can we say anything to her?" said Su San's wife. "When mom said something, eldest sister brought up the past. Mom's face changed, but eldest sister kept talking."
Amelia Su doesn't give face to her own mother, let alone her brother's wife. Su's father and mother have jobs and make money, and the family's expenses are basically supported by Su's father and mother. The parents-in-law should be better to their biological daughter. It's hard for Su Sansao, the daughter-in-law, to say much, so just bear with it for now.
Mrs. Su San is quite tolerant towards pregnant women. She wonders if everyone will be so tolerant towards her after she becomes pregnant. She heard that pregnant women’s tempers change drastically.
"Oh, this is so frustrating." said Aunt Su Er.
"There's no other way." Mrs. Su said, "We have to wait until the eldest sister gives birth to the baby."
"After the child is born, she still needs to take care of herself during the confinement period," said Aunt Su Er.
"It's possible." said Mrs. Su.
Aunt Su Er admired Sister Su San for being able to tolerate this. Aunt Su Er thought it was good this way, there would be no major conflicts.
At half past five in the evening, Amelia Su looked at Amelia Su again, “Don’t you have classes in the evening?”
"I have classes and I have to go to class." Su Xueqing replied.
"What time does class start?" Amelia Su asked.
"Seven o'clock." Su Xueqing said.
"It's already half past five, why don't you eat yet? It will take you 20 to 30 minutes to walk to school from here, right? Aren't you afraid of being late?" Amelia Su said.
"When it's six o'clock and my parents haven't come back yet, I'll go to the noodle restaurant outside to eat a bite." Su Xueqing said, don't think about eating first!
Amelia Su knew what Amelia Su was thinking, so she ate first, and it was natural for Amelia Su to eat first.
“Be careful of me.” Amelia Su said, “Wait, I’m not the one who’s late.”
"They're not here yet, so ask your sister-in-law to cook vermicelli for you." Old Lady Su said, "Put some meat in it and fry two eggs."
"One egg is enough." Su Xueqing said, "Two, I can't eat them."
“I can eat it.” Amelia Su said, “After I got pregnant, my appetite became bigger and I could eat more. I can eat as much as you make for me.”
Old Madam Su glanced at Amelia Su, “Do you still want to eat?”
“Eat!” Amelia Su said, “I don’t eat noodles, I can eat fried eggs.”
"Let your man buy it for you." said Old Mrs. Su.
"Why don't you let Xueqing's man buy it for her?" Amelia Su asked.
"The meat we ate tonight was bought by Xueqing. The refrigerator at home was bought by Xueqing's boyfriend. What about you? You came back with two leaves of vegetables, and you still want to eat so well?" Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but scold Amelia Su, "You found a job for your man, and you still come home to eat and drink for free."
Amelia Su was thick-skinned. She didn’t turn around and leave directly. At most, she would say a few less words. She was determined to eat the meat today.
At around six o'clock, Su's mother and others came back.
"Can we have dinner now?" This was the first thing Amelia Su said when she saw Su's mother. "My younger sister has to go to school tonight. If we don't have dinner now, it will be too late for her."
"Let's eat." said Su's mother.
The other members of the Su family saw the well-cooked pig's trotters on the table and their appetites were whetted. Before the other members of the Su family picked up their chopsticks, Amelia Su picked up a large piece first. Third Sister-in-law Su picked up a piece with skin and more lean meat with clean chopsticks and put it into Su Xueqing's bowl.
"Eat quickly." Mrs. Su signaled Amelia Su to eat quickly. Amelia Su was like a tornado passing through. This big pot of stewed pig's trotters might be eaten up by Amelia Su in an instant.
Mrs. Su San made fried eggs with leeks, and she gave Su Xueqing some more vegetables.
"Eat." Mrs. Su turned back to look at Brother Su, "You have long arms, pick up the food yourself."
Amelia Su saw that Third Sister Su picked up some food for Amelia Su but not for herself, so she simply put more food into her own bowl.
"This pig's trotter tastes good." Amelia Su said, "There are a lot of peanuts."
"You don't have to eat it." said Mrs. Su.
Amelia Su curled her lips, and she continued to eat.
Father Su was not very happy, his face looked a little ugly, Amelia Su ate too much. Father Su himself valued the male in the family more. Amelia Su got married and gave birth to a child of the Wei family. Amelia Su was always like this, and all the delicious food in the house was eaten by Amelia Su. Father Su saw that Mother Su and Old Lady Su did not speak, so he could only hold back. When he came back, he had to talk to Wei Dashan, no matter how hard it was, pregnant women should not suffer, and asked Wei Dashan to buy more meat for Amelia Su, so that she would not always come back to her parents' home to eat meat.
Su Xueqing ate most of the rice and didn't add more. She didn't have a big appetite, and after eating two large pieces of meat, she couldn't eat any more.
"Grandma, Mom, I have to go back to school first." Su Xueqing stood up.
"Let your brother take you there." said Su's mother.
Brother Su San had not finished his meal yet and was chewing his food. When he heard his mother's words, he quickly stood up.
"No, it's not very dark, there are people on the road, and there are lights." Su Xueqing said, "I will go to school by myself and let the third brother continue to eat. Yan Jing will pick me up in the evening."
"Okay." Su's mother said, "Tell your family if you have anything to say."
Su Xueqing walked out of the house with her bag on her back. She looked at the time, which was around 6:20. She didn't need to walk too fast, she could walk slowly.
While Su's mother was talking to Amelia Su, Amelia Su picked up another large piece of meat. She took a spoon and scooped some soup into the bowl to mix with rice, and ate some peanuts. Amelia Su didn't want to eat more rice, she just wanted to eat more meat.
Seeing Amelia Su like that, Sister-in-law Su quickly picked up a piece of meat for Brother Su San, and said to Aunt Su Er, “Aunt Su Er, this meat is delicious, eat more, you don’t need to put it in the refrigerator.”
Aunt Su looked at the almost empty casserole. There was really not much meat left in the big pot. Then she looked at Amelia Su, whose face was greasy after eating. Whose educated youth child who came back from the countryside would act so arrogantly with Amelia Su? Amelia Su was born in a good family, and her family tolerated her so much.
After finishing her meal, Amelia Su sat on the chair and leaned against it for a while, and when she left, she took away another big apple.
Seeing this situation, Aunt Su thought that Amelia Su couldn't go to buy apples by herself, so Amelia Su came directly to her parents' house to get the apples.
"Mom, I'll be back the day after tomorrow." Aunt Su said to Old Lady Su, "I've been here for a few days, it's time to go back."
"Okay." Old Madam Su said, "If everything is ok, you can stay for a few more days."
"We have been here for several days." Aunt Su Er said, "I wanted to go back tomorrow, but now I think we should wait until the day after tomorrow. Isn't my younger sister going to invite us to dinner?"
Aunt Su Xiao invited Aunt Su Er and others to have dinner tomorrow night. She would cook at home. Aunt Su Xiao's conditions were not good. They lived near the suburbs. The good thing was that the house was a little bigger and had a separate small yard. When someone came to the house, the living room could not accommodate them, so they put a big table in the small yard so that everyone could sit in the yard to eat.
"I just told Xueqing." Aunt Su said, "Xueqing said she and her boyfriend will go there tomorrow."
Su Xueqing didn't like to go to Aunt Su's house. Aunt Su's house was a little dirty and messy. It wasn't that Su Xueqing disliked her aunt, it was just reality. Mother Su and Aunt Su's third wife tidied up the house a little more, but Aunt Su tidied less and left many things piled up on the side.
Aunt Su invited her close relatives from her mother's family to have dinner together.
In the evening, Ning Yanjing went to pick up Su Xueqing after school, and the two of them walked on the way to school. Under the dim yellow light, the students walked back to the dormitory in twos and threes.
"My aunt asked us to come over for dinner tomorrow. Are you free?" Su Xueqing said, "If you're not free, I..."
"I'm free." Ning Yanjing said, "Ok, tonight. What time?"
"My class is around 4:30." Su Xueqing said, "Let's go together. We have a car, so let's go faster. We can get there around 5 o'clock, so it doesn't matter if we're late."
Su Xueqing had no intention of skipping class to go over. "We are the younger generation, so they don't have to wait for me, but my aunt and the others should wait for a while."
"It doesn't matter, they eat first, we can just eat a little and come back to eat again." Ning Yanjing said. When Xu Ruyun was closing her stall, Liao Jiankai and Deng Manni went to her stall. When Xu Ruyun saw these two people, she couldn't be happy, but she still smiled at them.
"Congratulations. Do you want to buy something? Liao Jiankai, buy something for your new wife." Xu Ruyun said, "I am a small business owner, and you are not my friends, so I won't give it to you for free. You don't even have the money to buy these things, do you?"
"We'll buy it." Deng Manni said, "Jiankai, let's take care of Ruyun's business. Ruyun is not like us. We have stable jobs in factories and are guaranteed a stable income. Ruyun sets up a stall by herself, and she doesn't know how much she can sell in a day."
Deng Manni did it on purpose. She said to Xu Ruyun, "Ruyun, let's get married. There is no other way. For the sake of the house, we have to get married. If you don't get married with Jiankai, we have to get married."
"You two are a match made in heaven." Biaozi and dog, Xu Ruyun added in her heart, "Buy it, buy it. The fact that you can get a marriage certificate is fate. When fate comes, nothing can stop it."
Liao Jiankai was in mixed feelings. He thought Xu Ruyun would be very unhappy when she knew about it, but Xu Ruyun was still smiling and still wanted to do business with them.
"We will hold a wedding banquet in a few days, and you can come and attend the banquet." Deng Manni said.
"No, I don't have any red envelopes." Xu Ruyun said.
"No need for a red envelope. We can't accept your red envelope. Just come over directly." Deng Manni said deliberately, "We will pick you up in person. You don't need to bring any gifts."
"Don't say later that I ate there for free and didn't give any gift." Xu Ruyun said.
"No, no." Deng Manni said.
"What are you buying?" Xu Ruyun asked, "You are newlyweds, so dress up more. Women dress up to please themselves, and you should look like a married couple when you get married."
"Buy it and take a look." Deng Manni looked at the things on the stall and picked up a few items at random.
"Two dollars." Xu Ruyun said, "I'll give you the change."
"Two dollars?" Deng Manni was surprised.
"Don't you think they're expensive? These things are of good quality and look good, so many people come to buy them." Xu Ruyun said, "If you don't want to buy them, it's okay, let others buy them."
"Buy, buy." Deng Manni took money out of her pocket.
"You are married now, how can you still pay? Your man should pay." Xu Ruyun said this deliberately, "You are a family now."
Deng Manni looked at Liao Jiankai, who took out the money. After all, they were husband and wife, even if they were not yet husband and wife, they could not behave too badly in front of Xu Ruyun.
"When we hold the wedding banquet, you must come," Deng Manni emphasized.
"It depends." Xu Ruyun said, "I don't have a formal and stable job, so I have to set up a stall. I can't make money if I don't set up a stall. Should I set up a stall in front of your wedding hotel?"
Xu Ruyun has not yet decided whether to attend the wedding banquet of Deng Manni and Liao Jiankai. What if there are more important things to do by then? Why should she attend the wedding banquet?
"We all want you to come over." Deng Manni said, poking Liao Jiankai's arm.
"Yes, I hope you can come." Liao Jiankai said.
"You've bought something, it's time to go back." Xu Ruyun said, "There are other customers behind."
Liao Jiankai and Deng Manni left first, and Liao Jiankai looked back at Xu Ruyun a few times.
"She really doesn't care about you anymore." Deng Manni said, "She only cares about money. She dares to charge us two dollars for such a small thing."
"Oh." Liao Jiankai sighed.
"You obviously have no place to stay with her, but she said she wanted to break up without considering your difficulties at all. You work overtime every day for your future." Deng Manni said, "You also want to be with her every day, but without money, how can you support your future children. Ruyun is really... It's not that you didn't give her a chance, she was stubborn and cruel, and refused to give in. She... forget it, forget it, she is like this."
Liao Jiankai was silent, he was still thinking about Xu Ruyun.
"Without a partner like you, she can only set up a stall to make money." Deng Manni said, "She earns whatever money she can. I guess she didn't make much, so she cheated us. It's not easy for her either. I guess her parents scolded her. She missed out on such a good partner like you. It will be difficult for her to find another one like you in the future."
"Difficult..." Liao Jiankai hesitated and wanted to look back.
"Don't look at her. She doesn't know how to feel sorry for you." Deng Manni said.
Yu Li and the matchmaker came to a small restaurant. They agreed to come at 11 o'clock. Yu Li was not late, but the man was half an hour late. Yu Li was a little unhappy. How could a man be late for a blind date? If the matchmaker hadn't said that the man's father was a leader, she would not have waited here.
Lin's mother came with Lin Jincai. Lin's mother wanted to see Yu Li in person and find out what Yu Li was like.
"Let's order the food first." Mei the matchmaker said. No matter whether it succeeds or not, they have to eat.
"What's your major?" Lin's mother asked directly, "Which university?"
"Department of Architecture, Nancheng University." Yu Li replied.
"Architecture Department..." Mother Lin thought of Amelia Su, who was in the Architecture Department. "Is there someone named Amelia Su in your department?"
When Yu Li heard Su Xueqing's name, her expression twisted for a moment, then recovered. Lin's mother saw it.
"Yes, she found a rich man and moved out. She doesn't like our small dormitory." Yu Li said, "She doesn't like us either. She wants to be the superior one."
"Do you live in the same dormitory?" asked Lin's mother.
"It was before." Yu Li said, "What does it matter?"
"You don't need to eat this meal." Mother Lin stood up.
"What's going on?" Matchmaker Mei didn't expect Lin's mother to be so disrespectful.
"Look at her. Her roommate found a good partner, but she was not happy for her roommate. She said that her roommate looked down on her. Doesn't she know how to get closer to her roommate? They all live in the same dormitory. They are sophomores this year. They lived together when they were freshmen, but their relationship was not good. This shows that there is something wrong with her." Lin's mother said.
If Yu Li was not from the Department of Architecture, and had not said those things, and Lin's mother did not know about those things, then Yu Li and Lin Jin would still be possible. But Yu Li was from the Department of Architecture, and she said those things.
Lin's mother believed that Yu Li had offended Su Xueqing. Lin's mother did not like Su Xueqing, but Su Xueqing was going to marry into the Ning family. Lin's mother did not want to offend Su Xueqing and offend the Ning family. It was just a college student. Without Yu Li, there were others.
"Jincai, go away, she is not suitable for you." Lin's mother said to Lin Jincai.
"Okay, let's go." Lin Jincai said. He had said very little from just now until now, and it was all his mother who did all the talking.
Lin Jincai saw Yu Li's ordinary and pretty face, and he was not interested. If Yu Li was not a college student, he would have left long ago. After seeing a girl as bright and beautiful as Su Xueqing, Lin Jincai felt that other women were not beautiful enough and were not in his eyes.
Yu Li opened her eyes wide, wondering what these people meant.
"Are you not going to have this meal?" asked Mei the matchmaker.
"I'm not going to eat anymore." Lin's mother said to the matchmaker Mei, "I advise you not to introduce other people to her, so as not to drag her down. Do you know who she offended? It was the future daughter-in-law of the Ning family. I think she saw that someone else found a good partner, and she was jealous of that person, so she..."
"I'm not, it's Su Xueqing who's wrong. She's very scheming. She wants to climb up..."
"You came here for a blind date, aren't you trying to climb up the social ladder?" Lin's mother rolled her eyes and snorted, "It's just that they have climbed up the ladder, but you haven't. Girl, calm down and don't take yourself too seriously. So what if you are a college student? There are several universities in South City, and there are a lot of college students. Do you think you are so great?"
Lin's mother didn't take Yu Li seriously. She just left with her son Lin Jincai.
After Lin's mother and son left, Matchmaker Mei looked at Yu Li.
"This meal is on me," said Mei. She had already ordered the dishes, so she was too embarrassed to say no. For the sake of her career, Mei couldn't let Yu Li pay, as it would affect her reputation. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Matchmaker Mei knew that the girl that the Lin family had chosen before had married a rich man, and the Lin family wanted to find another one to compare with that girl so that people would not look down on the Lin family. Who knew that they would run into someone like Yu Li again? Matchmaker Mei thought it was her fault. She thought these female college students were fine, but who knew there was such a pit among them.
"Just because I don't have a good relationship with Su Xueqing, I can't go on a blind date?" Yu Li was indignant.
"It's not that we can't have a blind date, it's that she wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Ning family. Ning family, do you know the Ning family?" Mei Matchmaker said, "Ning family, a big family in South City, very powerful. Who are you, who is willing to offend others for you. Although you classmates have some small fights, but the malice on your face is obvious, and you speak without thinking. Do you think others are stupid? Do others want a daughter-in-law like you? Letting you be a daughter-in-law is like marrying a disaster!"
"I...you..."
"If you still want to stay in South City and want to marry into a good family, then put away your jealous face." Mei Matchmaker said, "Think more before you speak. This sentence will sound different if you say it from a different angle."
