Xu Qing, with her sharp eyes, noticed this and had a bad feeling.
"Have you had some good news? You seem so happy."
Xu Qing smiled and probed him.
A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Weimin's face, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "What happy event could I possibly have?"
Xu Qing was now certain that Jiang Weimin was probably leaving. He was both shocked and furious; the man was about to leave, and he had only just realized something was wrong.
No, we can't just let him go like this! Xu Qing didn't want to end up with nothing.
Back in the house, Xu Qing steeled himself and took out a bottle of Moutai liquor that he had prepared as a gift for someone in the future.
They used Jiang Weimin's money to exchange for some things from the villagers and made some snacks to go with their drinks.
When Jiang Weimin returned to the room, he looked at the food and wine and became wary. Did he already know that he was leaving?
Xu Qing seemed oblivious to the wariness on his face. "I'm going to the tractor factory in a couple of days. I'll have to ask you to take care of my sister then. Consider this meal my way of thanking you!"
Jiang Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and lied without blushing, saying, "Don't worry, I'll help if I can."
Looking at the Moutai on the table, Jiang Weimin felt a little tempted. His family had it too, but his father never let him drink it. Today, he could finally try it.
Xu Qing noticed him staring at the wine on the table, smiled, and poured him a glass. "Here, let me toast you!"
Jiang Weimin gulped it down, coughing from the spiciness, his face immediately turning bright red. Then he felt dizzy and collapsed onto the table.
Xu Qing looked at him with some disdain. A grown man, getting drunk after just one drink, what a loser.
After struggling to pull Jiang Weimin onto the bed, Xu Qing went out and pulled Xu Hong in.
Xu Hong shook her head repeatedly after hearing his plan, "No, that's too embarrassing."
Just when things were about to go down that road, Xu Qing didn't expect his sister to let him down. "Losing face this once could mean a lifetime of wealth, and you still won't do it? Are you stupid? What does face even matter!"
"This is your only chance. I'm not capable enough. If you don't beg him to let his dad find you a job in the city, you'll be stuck farming here for the rest of your life!"
Xu Hong was startled by his last sentence and quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll do it!"
Xu Qing smiled with satisfaction this time.
The next morning, Jiang Weimin opened his eyes while covering his head, only to find that one of his arms was pinned down.
He sat up abruptly, looked at Xu Hong lying next to him, and wished he could slap himself twice.
Jiang Weimin understood everything; he had been outmaneuvered on the last day.
Xu Hong was also startled awake, and as soon as she came to her senses, she started crying as her brother had told her to.
"Jiang Weimin, you're a monster! What did you do to me when you were drunk yesterday?"
He didn't do anything! Jiang Weimin was wronged to death. He was so drunk he was unconscious. What could he have done?
But the most important thing right now is to prevent Xu Hong from causing a scene, otherwise he'll be completely finished if she attracts everyone's attention!
Jiang Weimin used all his brain cells and finally came up with a solution.
He patted Xu Hong's shoulder with trembling hands, trying his best to appear affectionate.
"Xiao Hong, don't cry, don't attract attention. I've liked you for a long time, and I'll take responsibility for you. Let's go get our marriage certificate today!"
