Liang Yuan and Zhou Rongrong really hit it off right away, getting along very well. Zhu Youliang and Wu Dahai were both delighted. After dinner at Wu's house, the couple didn't stay long and went out to the street.
Although the machinery factory had a cafeteria, it also cost money. Liang Yuan thought about buying a coal stove and placing it outside the house so that she could cook for herself when she had time, which would also improve the food. Zhu Youliang agreed and said that once the stove was lit, he would invite Wu Dahai and his wife over for dinner.
As soon as they reached the street, they spotted someone familiar: Zhu Youxian. She was strolling hand in hand with a man in a flowered shirt. Seeing Zhu Youliang and his wife, they froze in their tracks. The man tried to come over and say hello, but she stopped him. After finally convincing him, she finally walked over on her own.
"Sixth brother and sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Zhu Youliang kept a serious face and said nothing. The man with a frivolous look on his face just now should be the Wang Zhao that Huang Mei mentioned.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Your sixth brother and I have been assigned to the machinery factory. We said we would come to see you after we settled down. Who knew we would run into you here? Who was that person you were with just now? Why didn't you introduce them to each other? When we came here yesterday, Mom asked us to find a date for you at the machinery factory."
Zhu Youxian said anxiously, "Don't tell Mom that I was shopping with someone. Mom is prejudiced against Wang Zhao, and I'm afraid you are too, so I didn't let him come over to say hello."
Liang Yuan advised: "Youxian, sister-in-law, please say something. Mom is doing this for your own good. She has experienced more than you, so naturally, her judgment of people is better than yours."
Zhu Youxian said disapprovingly, "She's just old-fashioned. The only guys she introduced to me were country guys who couldn't even do a fart. I don't like them. I want to find someone who can coax me and talk to me."
Zhu Youliang couldn't help but say, "If they can coax you, they can naturally coax others too. What's the point of talking?"
Zhu Youxian said unconvincedly, "Sixth brother, don't criticize me. You fell in love with sister-in-law just for her face, but mom didn't agree. When sister-in-law first came home, she couldn't even sweep the floor, but you insisted on marrying her. Look at her now, aren't you living a good life?"
Zhu Youliang angrily said, "How can it be the same? Your sister-in-law's character is there. I heard from mom that Wang Zhao is just a street urchin. Not only does he not have a proper job, but he's also had affairs with several women. You dare to marry a man like that? You'll regret it sooner or later, I tell you."
"That was in the past. He changed a long time ago. Why don't you believe it? Anyway, I don't care. I can follow whoever I want. Don't bother me." Zhu Youxian said and ran away.
Zhu Youliang wanted to chase after her, but Liang Yuan stopped him. "She won't listen if you try to talk to her now. Why not go and find out when you have time? Also, you need to tell your family. It seems like they haven't broken up at all."
Zhu Youliang nodded and said, "I'll go get someone to send a message back and ask Big Brother to come over."
Seeing that he was really anxious, Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "We have food, why are you so anxious? Have you forgotten about us..."
Zhu Youliang was stunned for a moment, then laughed too. Yeah, there was no need for him to be anxious.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with this. It makes me feel like we're not just playing a game." Liang Yuan said with a smile.
"You're right." Zhu Youliang nodded.
"Okay, let's go buy a coal stove." Liang Yuan smiled and walked towards the stall next to him.
Since the reform and opening up, small businesses have become increasingly common. Over here, Wang Zhao was waiting for Zhu Youxian at a car stall. Seeing her hurriedly approaching, he handed her the soda he had just bought. "Why are you running? Look at your forehead, it's all sweaty," he said, pressing the frozen soda in his hand against her forehead.
Zhu Youxian sighed comfortably, then grumbled, "Isn't it because I'm afraid my sixth brother will drag me back home? You know my family doesn't agree with us being together."
Wang Zhao said with some annoyance, "It's all my fault. I didn't restrain myself in my early years and only knew how to play around. I ruined my reputation and now you have to suffer with me."
Seeing this, Zhu Youxian said, "Don't take it personally. They'll eventually believe you've changed. But you should find a job. Without a job, how will we eat and drink? Even if your family has money, they have to give it to us. Besides, they can't support us forever. I have a job, but do you really want me to support you? It won't sound good if you tell others about it. What will happen if we have children? I can't just mess around like this forever."
"You're right, I'm looking for it. It's all my fault for not studying hard. I don't know anything. There's nothing I can do if others don't want me." Wang Zhao said with a grin.
"It's good that you know. Don't be too anxious. My sixth brother is working in a machinery factory now. Once he has established himself, I will ask my mother to let you work in the machinery factory. Once you have a job, your family may agree to let us both get married." Zhu Youxian said to himself.
Wang Zhao had no desire to work in the machinery factory. His family had used their connections before, but he had been fired after just two days. He simply couldn't make it. So he couldn't help but say, "I heard working in a machinery factory is tough. I don't have any skills, so I can only do hard labor. Look at me, I'm so skinny. I'd better forget it."
"What should we do then?" Zhu Youxian asked irritably. It wasn't that she was completely ignorant, she just couldn't bear it. No one would accommodate her like Wang Zhao did.
"As I told you a few days ago, I have a friend who has connections in Shenzhen. He can bring clothes from Hong Kong and sell them here. It's not that I don't have the capital, otherwise I would definitely make money if I followed him. If you really believe in me, support me again. When I turn things around, I can take you to live a good life." Wang Zhao's eyes lit up when he said the last sentence.
