Sanni sat in the passenger seat. Although she had a stern face, she still diligently pointed the way with her finger.
"Go to the end of this road. No, go to the side. Your car is too big to fit on this road..."
"Comrade Sanni." Qi Jinzhou sighed as he listened to Sanni's instructions.
"what?"
Qi Jinzhou's tone was casual and lazy, like an acquaintance, and even a little... Sanni felt suffocated, and her tone of reply became even more impatient.
"Do you have any misunderstandings about me?" Qi Jinzhou chuckled, his tone mixed with helplessness and roguery.
Sanni frowned, "What misunderstanding could I have about you?"
"Then I have to ask you, I didn't do anything, and even helped you two days ago, why do you look so unhappy when you see me?" Qi Jinzhou held the steering wheel with one hand and raised the other hand as if swearing.
"Hey, let me be clear first. I don't mean to threaten you with any return of favor. I just simply want to ask if you're being a little unkind to me."
Sanni pursed her lips tightly, not knowing how to answer this question.
Although she may appear rather aggressive in public, she is not rude and even dislikes owing anything. When a classmate at night school borrowed an eraser the size of her pinky finger, she would remember to return the whole thing.
When talking to people, don't turn your face away just because you are unhappy. Only a fool would do that.
But with Qi Jinzhou, she just couldn't control herself.
In fact, among young people, I don’t know if it’s because of the hormonal magnetic field, sometimes they can understand each other’s meaning just by looking at each other.
Sanni had a sixth sense that Qi Jinzhou was interested in her, but it was just her feeling, so she didn't dare to say it, for fear of being seen as a nymphomaniac.
Where is she with Qi Jinzhou?
Yes, he was the most outstanding man of her age whom she could possibly meet. Whether it was his looks, his job, or his fighting prowess, he perfectly matched the requirements she'd been nagging about. But so what? From the moment she decided to stay home, this outstanding man was no longer hers.
This is what annoyed her. Why don't you just be a good driver? Why do you come to tease a country bumpkin like her? Are you free?
Or are you just looking for something new and wanting to date a country girl to kill time, and then get rid of her later?
Any relationship that is not aimed at marriage is hooliganism!
Sanni took a deep breath, then adjusted her expression to the calmest one, turned her head and looked at Qi Jinzhou.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Qi. I was rude. I apologize."
Qi Jinzhou looked at her with a smile, and before he could speak, Sanni continued.
"If you need anything, I'll do my best to buy it within my means and ask my uncle to deliver it to you. Oh, my uncle is the head of the supply and marketing department of our village's electroplating factory, and it seems he also has business dealings with your steel plant.
Just ask for whatever you want. After all, you saved me and my sister. You are my lifesaver. Even if I go to borrow money, I will..."
With a "squeak", the truck braked suddenly on the village road. Sanni had not fastened her seat belt when she got in the car. She was thrown forward by inertia and almost hit the windshield in front. Fortunately, Qi Jinzhou was quick to pull her up.
"What are you doing..."
"Ma Sanni, who do you think I am?" Qi Jinzhou's smiling expression had long since disappeared. "What do I need from you?"
Sanni also got angry and spoke without any consideration, "So what do you want? Do you want me to marry you? This is a new society!"
Qi Jinzhou chuckled, "Aren't you looking for a live-in son-in-law?"
"That's right!" Sanni glared at him, determined not to lose in momentum.
"Then what are you talking about promising yourself to me? Why are you just running away?"
"You're the one who's been staring at me! Aren't you interested in me? Then you're just being a hooligan!"
Qi Jinzhou was so angry that he couldn't hold back his expression anymore. He nodded while laughing, "Yes, that's right, you figured it out."
Sanni was not happy because her sixth sense was confirmed, but became even angrier. Was this person making fun of her?
"Hey, don't be angry, I'm serious." Qi Jinzhou picked up the water cup and drank two sips of water, suppressed his smile, and then said to Sanni seriously,
"I really think you're a good person, and your family is looking for a live-in son-in-law. Look at me, I can do it!"
Sanni's anger suddenly got stuck in her throat, and she was still a little confused. "You? Become my son-in-law?"
"Yes!" Qi Jinzhou nodded. "As long as I am happy, it's fine whether I marry her or not."
"Your family, aren't you the only one in your family? If you do this, won't your parents be so angry that they will come back to life from the ground?" Sanni was stunned. She had never seen a man who didn't care about passing on the family line.
How many families, so poor that they have to beg for food, still dream of having a son? Qi Jinzhou has such good conditions and no brothers at home, but they are willing to marry him?
When talking about this, Qi Jinzhou's tone seemed to be not as playful as before, and his expression was also much calmer.
"I've said that my family background is not good...there's nothing good to pass on to the family line." Perhaps he really intended to discuss important life events with Sanni. Qi Jinzhou thought about it and decided not to hide it, or perhaps he didn't care.
Just now, before Sanni and Shen Chunhua arrived, he heard Lin Fuqiang and others talking about a lot of things about the Ma family at the construction site. It wasn't love at first sight, but he felt that the two of them were really good together.
"My grandparents were capitalists. After liberation, their children went abroad or were overthrown, leaving only my mother, the youngest, by their side. They used their last bit of connections and spent all their money to get her to live with my grandparents and marry my father, rather than being taken away for reform."
"My dad's education and knowledge were far inferior to my mom's. They didn't really get along, but my mom couldn't divorce him, so the relationship deteriorated over time. My dad later developed a taste for drinking, and when he was drunk he would hit people.
He was a fitter at the steel mill, very strong, and the fights were endless. My mother was sent to the hospital several times. The factory mediated the conflict and allowed the two to live separately for a period of time, while I stayed with my grandparents.
"During that time...during that time, my mom had another man by her side. He was cultured and knowledgeable, completely different from my dad. My mom was attracted to him and asked for a divorce from my dad."
"My dad disagreed, and when he found out about it, on the day of their date, he took a wrench and attacked them both... and then he jumped off the building himself."
“I was exactly 10 years old that year.”
