"She was madly in love with Wang Qiu, and her parents always disapproved of their relationship."
"If she likes it, then there's nothing we can do. Have they registered their marriage?"
"We didn't have a wedding banquet, and I don't know if we got our marriage certificate or not. I guess we did, since we already have a child, and she's twenty now." At this point, He Ling gossiped, "Did you find a boyfriend at school?"
He Wenlin shook her head: "No, I just want to make money."
"You can never earn all the money in the world."
"I'm still young, I'll think about it when something suitable comes along," He Wenlin said. "How's business at your night market these days?"
"It's alright, I can still make money, but not as much as I did at the beginning. Also, I'm pregnant and can't stay up all night every day, so I'm planning to hire someone, which will increase my expenses."
"There's nothing we can do about it. You and the baby are the most important."
"Linlin, when did you get back?" He Hui came over and greeted her.
"I got back this morning, Hui-ge. How's business?"
"It's alright. There are three or four stalls selling hand-pulled pancakes at the night market now. It's a little worse than when we first started, but it's still okay. We earn a little more than selling rice balls. Want some? I'll make you a family-style pancake."
"Thanks, but no need. I'm going to have barbecue with them. Do you want to come along?"
"Okay, I'll come over when I'm not busy in a bit."
When He Wenlin and He Ling arrived, He Wenjun had already ordered.
"Linlin, Lingzi, is there anything else you'd like to eat? Order some more." He Wenjun showed them the order slip.
"I want eggplant, saury, and chicken wings. That's all I need. You can decide on the rest." He Wenlin was never polite with them.
He Wenjun: "I knew you wanted these three things after I ordered them."
Halfway through the barbecue, He Hui and He Na came over.
He Wenlin and He Na have basically no contact now, as they live far apart and have had even less contact in recent years.
"Linlin, why didn't Shanshan come back with you?" He Na asked. "Why don't you give her a few days off? I heard from Li Chong that he sent a message to Shanshan, but she was too busy to reply."
He Wenlin: "Who is Li Chong?"
"That's the boyfriend I introduced to Shanshan before. Before she went to Shanghai, the two of them were doing quite well. Did she get a boyfriend in Shanghai? Now she's not replying to Li Chong's messages."
He Wenlin: "I heard that it was Li Chong who pursued her, but she always refused."
“Not replying to messages means rejection,” He Ling said. “My sister and Li Chong are not a good match either.”
He Na: "I think it's great, what's wrong with it?"
"Can Li Chong buy a house here? My sister has a house and her salary is not bad. I don't expect her to find someone super rich, but at least she should be able to afford a down payment here."
"Is a house really that important? Look at me and Wang Qiu, we're doing just fine renting. Can feelings be measured in money?"
"Feelings can't be measured by money, but life requires money. My sister and he aren't a good match, and my whole family disapproves. Please don't introduce them."
