At night, Qin Zheng tossed and turned because Xu Zhiyi agreed to be his girlfriend, and his roommate Xie Heng also couldn't sleep because of Qin Zheng.
Xie Heng stood up and asked, "Hey, Qin Zheng, who is that girl you were with tonight? How did you meet her?"
Qin Zheng sat up, a smile on his face, and replied, "That's my girlfriend."
"Congratulations. But do you know her family's status? Don't be fooled. I heard from Yumei that her family is a capitalist."
Qin Zheng looked at it coldly and said, "I'm happy to do so."
"Okay, fine. I'm meddling again. Qin Zheng, when are you and that girl getting married? Why don't we have a wedding together? It'll be lively and exciting."
"Let's talk later."
Xie Heng looked at Qin Zheng, who hadn't gotten any answers, and decided to wait until next time to ask. However, since Yumei said her family was a capitalist, it must be true.
Xie Heng laughed in his heart: I was wondering what kind of partner Qin Zheng would find, but it turns out to be a capitalist. Qin Zheng's career in the next life is over at a glance.
After Xu Chengde and his friends returned home, they first asked Xu Zhiyi and Xu Zhiyan what they thought of Qin Zheng, and then asked them what they had talked about tonight.
Xu Zhiyi took out the passbook from her bag and said, "Dad, this is what Qin Zheng gave me. He said it was his sincerity towards me, and I also told him in a roundabout way about what was going to happen next."
Xu Zhiyi quickly comforted him, "Dad, don't be angry! Listen to me. He said he was attracted to me, so he agreed to meet me with Uncle Zhao. I didn't think he was lying, so I told him a little bit. I didn't say anything else, just that I have a complicated background. If he regrets it, I should bring it up as soon as possible."
"So what did he say?"
"He said he didn't mind. He came from a farming family and could protect me."
Xu Chengde sighed and said, "Well, let's just try to get along with each other first. If it doesn't suit us, let's just cut ties with him as soon as possible."
"Okay, Dad."
Xu Zhiyan watched Xu Zhiyi leave before he slowly spoke, "Dad, although that man is nice, it would be a shame for my sister to marry him. Are you really willing?"
"What can we do? Can you really bear to watch your sister suffer in a hospital in the northwest or a remote area?"
"Dad, is there really no other way? Can we just let my sister get married?"
"Let's get along first. You and I have both seen that guy. Apart from being from the countryside, he is really good in other aspects. And his family has been scholars for three generations. I think he should be better than an ordinary family."
Xu Zhiyan's eyes were red, and he said aggrievedly: "Then he is not worthy of my sister."
"Zhi Yan, but what can we do?"
At the same time, Zhang Dabing's family was also concerned about Zhang Yumei's performance tonight.
When Zhang Dabing saw Zhang Yumei coming back, he smiled and said, "Yumei, how are you?"
Zhang Yumei sat up straight and said proudly, "I'm in love."
"With whom? Xie Heng?"
Zhang Yumei nodded.
Zhang Dabing's face was filled with smiles, and then he asked with some reluctance, "Didn't I tell you to get in touch with other people? Have you? Are there any others you like?"
"Are you talking about Qin Zheng? You'd better give up on that idea. Qin Zheng is no match for Xie Heng. Just wait and see. Xie Heng will go further and climb higher than Qin Zheng."
Yu Zhaodi scolded, "You stupid girl! I told you to be more selective, but you just don't learn your lesson. What's so good about a second marriage? You're such a money-loser."
"What's so good about the Qin Zheng you're attracted to? He's just a short-lived guy. Besides, what's wrong with Xie Heng?"
Yu Zhaodi wanted to continue, but Zhang Dabing angrily said, "Alright, stop arguing. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Since you think Qin Zheng is no good, then Xie Heng. Keep Xie Heng in your hands. If you lose Xie Heng again, you'll be in trouble."
"Dad, you just agreed to this? Don't you have any shame? He's a second marriage!"
"What's wrong with a second marriage? Do you think the captain is someone who can marry anyone he wants? Besides, Xie Heng is still studying at the military academy and has a bright future!"
Yu Zhaodi quickly replied, "I know, I know, I just said it casually, don't be angry."
"Whatever you say will hurt you sooner or later." After saying that, Zhang Dabing left angrily with his hands behind his back.
Yu Zhaodi sat alone on the sofa, wailing softly: "What sin have I committed!"
The next morning, Xu Zhiyi left in a hurry because of something going on in the hospital.
Inside the military academy dormitory, Xie Heng saw Qin Zheng, who had gotten up early but didn't return to the dormitory to read as usual after exercising. He asked in surprise, "Qin Zheng, are you going out today?"
Qin Zheng looked down at his military uniform and said calmly, "Something's up."
"What's up?"
Xie Heng didn't hear what Qin Zheng said next, and just watched Qin Zheng leave.
"Damn it, I'm telling you I'm a dog."
Because of this incident, Xie Heng no longer felt sleepy. He packed up and went out for training.
On the training ground, Xie Heng was surrounded by his classmates as soon as he walked over. Xie Heng originally thought they were there to congratulate him, but who knew that reality would slap him hard in the face.
"Xie Heng, why are you alone? Where's Qin Zheng?"
"Isn't Qin Zheng always here, whether he's on holiday or on break? Why didn't he come today?"
"By the way, Xie Heng, I haven't congratulated you yet for marrying a man who's the son of an official. I'm waiting to drink in your wedding wine!"
"Xie Heng, you are really capable!"
"However, the most capable person among our group is Qin Zheng. He got Xu Chengde's daughter without saying a word. He's really capable!"
Xie Heng asked, "Who is Xu Chengde?"
"Brother, are you completely bewildered by Zhang Yumei? You don't even know Xu Chengde? He's from the unit next door, a lieutenant general, serving as the army commander. Let me tell you, it was the night we attended the social gathering that our principal personally brought Qin Zheng to set him up, allowing him to meet Xu Chengde's daughter."
Xie Heng's expression suddenly changed. "The woman who met Qin Zheng that night, isn't her family a capitalist?"
"That's her. Commander Xu's wife's family background is quite mixed. She's a capitalist, or a descendant of the Qing Dynasty nobility. But she donated most of her fortune during the war, and with Commander Xu in charge, she's been safe and sound all these years."
Last year, Commander Xu's wife's family went bankrupt and went abroad. I'm not sure what happened. Xie Heng, do you think Qin Zheng is going to turn from a sparrow into a phoenix?
"Hey, let me tell you something. I went to see the political commissar a few days ago and heard that Qin Zheng seemed to be getting a promotion. All that was left was the paperwork."
"What kind of shitty luck did Qin Zheng have!"
"Envy, but what can I do? I can only envy!"
Xie Heng watched the people leave one by one, his fists clenched. Did Zhang Yumei deceive him? Why did Qin Zheng get promoted faster than him?
Qin Zheng, you've become rich, so what? You married a capitalist lady, and one with such a complicated background. You'll have a hard time in the future.
We have a long way to go.
