Fifteen-year-old Liu Jin has grown into a handsome and tall young man with a good-looking face, fair skin, and a physique that is slender when dressed but muscular when undressed, making him particularly eye-catching.
Due to his long-term martial arts training, Liu Jin appears very energetic, and his every move is fluid and graceful, often attracting a group of girls to secretly admire him from the sidelines.
He was unaware that his mother was secretly saving money for his future wife. Because he often had opportunities to perform, his savings account had grown quite a bit. As the numbers in his savings account slowly increased, Liu Jin was very happy.
Deep in his heart, he wanted to learn from his aunt, who had also studied hard, gone to university, and started from scratch to build such a large business.
So he also wanted to study hard, learn to sing opera, practice martial arts, and save money so that he could start from scratch and create a world for himself and his family. That's why he resolutely refused when his family bought a shop.
But his beautiful wish began to falter. There was a girl at school who was his partner. She was not only pretty and charming, but also had a poetic name, Zhang Mengdie. Gradually, she caught Liu Jin's eye.
Similarly, Zhang Mengdie also favored Liu Jin. The Yan family has always been known for its good looks, and Liu Jin inherited the family's big eyes, high nose, and alluring rosy lips.
During one of their rehearsals, there was a move that required them to hug each other and gaze deeply into each other's eyes. Suddenly, the wellspring of love appeared, and Zhang Mengdie blushed on the spot.
Liu Jin blushed as well. The young man, just beginning to experience love, was even more shy than a young girl. All his past mischief and pranks had vanished, leaving only bewildered confusion.
The school dormitory was full of experienced junior teachers, all of whom offered advice to Liu Jin. One told him to write more love letters, and another told him to take someone out to see a movie.
Similarly, Zhang Mengdie's support team was equally formidable. Zhang Mengdie was considered their school beauty, so how could she be so easily seduced by the school heartthrob?
So, one girl made Zhang Mengdie put on airs, ignoring him and refusing to compromise, while the other girl made Zhang Mengdie play hard to get, keeping the school heartthrob in suspense.
With everyone's encouragement, the two shy young people naturally started dating.
When young boys and girls are dating, everything they do is good. You buy me a pen, I buy you a hair accessory, you treat me to an ice pop, and I treat you to a pastry.
Gradually, the two went to class together, rehearsed together, and were inseparable even when eating, and their relationship quickly warmed up.
Later, their relationship moved from the campus to the streets. They would watch a movie one day and go shopping at a department store the next. Liu Jin took Zhang Mengdie to the furniture section of the department store and pointed to the exquisite furniture, saying, "These were made in my aunt's factory."
Zhang Mengdie's eyes sparkled. What beautiful furniture! She especially loved the pink set. Liu Jin chivalrously said, "I'll go home and discuss it with my aunt. When we get married, I'll ask her to sell it to us at a discount."
When Zhang Mengdie heard the word "marriage," her face flushed red. Looking at the large pink bed in the middle, she felt a glimmer of hope.
The two left the department store, their hearts filled with anticipation. How wonderful life would be if they had a new house and furnished it with that set of pink furniture.
As they walked through an alley, Liu Jin, with his sharp eyes, spotted a note pasted on a door. Driven by curiosity, the two went over and took a closer look. It turned out that the family wanted to sell the house.
They exchanged a glance, both showing interest. Liu Jin carefully examined the price and asked for three thousand yuan. He considered his savings, but realized he didn't have enough. However, he could borrow from his aunt.
They knocked on the door and explained their purpose. Upon hearing that they were there to view the house, the homeowner was delighted and showed them around. Liu Jin and Zhang Mengdie inspected the property carefully and were quite satisfied.
The house is not big. There is a small courtyard when you enter. Passing through the courtyard, there is a square room, no more than fifteen square meters. Passing through the room, there is a kitchen. The kitchen is very small and can't even fit a dining table.
Liu Jin discovered a back door in the kitchen. He opened it and went outside. He found that the back door led to a narrow alleyway that could only accommodate two people at a time, and the wall behind it must belong to the family living there.
Zhang Mengdie returned to her room, stretched out her arms to measure its size, and calculated the dimensions of the pink furniture set in the department store. Hmm, it should still fit.
The homeowner stared intently at Liu Jin. Although the little guy was tall and strong, he must still be young. He wondered if he was even eighteen years old yet.
"Uncle, how about I have my aunt come and trade with you tomorrow? I might not have enough money."
Zhang Mengdie quickly tugged at Liu Jin and whispered, "I have money here, how much do you still need?"
Liu Jin held up two fingers, and Zhang Mengdie laughed: "So you were short two hundred? I have the money."
Liu Jin shook his head and whispered in Zhang Mengdie's ear, "Two thousand short."
(⊙o⊙)… I don't want to talk anymore, the difference is too great.
The two thought they were speaking very quietly, but the homeowner heard them clearly and couldn't help but smile. This young couple was so funny. But at such a young age, they had a thousand yuan on them, so their family must be well-off.
Liu Jin solemnly made an appointment with the homeowner, saying that he had found a house he liked and that he would bring his parents to pay and transfer the property the next day. The homeowner nodded repeatedly, thinking that this little guy was too naive and wouldn't even haggle over the price.
Early the next morning, Liu Jin arrived at Yan Xiaonan's backyard and saw that Yan Xiaonan was still sleeping in, while Uncle Chenming was already holding his brother and looking at the flowers in the yard.
"Good morning, Uncle. I'm looking for Aunt."
Ye Chenming quickly shushed her, "Your aunt went to bed late last night, let her get some sleep."
Liu Jin was a little anxious, as he had arranged to arrive at the landlord's house in the morning.
Ye Chenming glanced at Liu Jin, sensing that the boy might be up to something, and casually asked, "What do you need your aunt for?"
Liu Jin hesitated, then said, "I want to borrow some money from my aunt."
Ye Chenming smiled and said, "It's such a small thing, don't keep asking to borrow. I'll give it to you, how much do you want?"
Liu Jin felt a little uneasy: "I want two thousand."
"How much?" Ye Chenming was startled. He knew that his salary at the Academy of Sciences was only a little over three hundred yuan a month, while ordinary workers only earned a few dozen yuan a month.
"What do you need so much money for?" Ye Chenming had to ask. Dongnan was busy with work and didn't come around often, so he had to help Dongnan keep an eye on this kid.
