Chapter 400: Parents’ Thoughts, Settle Accounts Later
Qin's mother thought that Qin Wenjun was already grown up, and all the girls of her age in the village were married and had children. She worked at Zhang's house every day and didn't even have a chance to meet men outside the family. If she continued like this, how would she be able to get married in the future?
Mother Qin became more and more worried. She said in deep thought, "Girl, think about it. You are old enough now. Why don't you ask your Aunt Zhang some time to see if there is a good family around here. Find someone with a good family background and who is honest and reliable. Get married quickly so that I don't have to worry about your life-long affairs every day. I can't stop thinking about it when I lie down after work. I even think about it in my dreams!"
"Mom, why are you talking about this? I'm not that old now, okay? Besides, it's rare for me to have a high-paying job, and I haven't even worked for a full year. It's too early to talk about marriage! It'll take at least another two years, and it won't be too late to talk about it when I'm 28." Qin Wenjun muttered.
When Qin's mother heard that Qin Wenjun wanted to get married at the age of 28, she shook her head and said, "28 is already an old maid! Girls in our village get married at the age of 25 at most. If you delay for too long, people will gossip about you. You don't care, but your father and I who live in the village all year round can't stand this!"
"Mom, you and my dad no longer live in the village, so you don't have to put up with this." Qin Wenjun retorted unhappily.
Mother Qin choked and glared at Qin Wenjun, "I don't care, at most one year later, if you still don't have an idea after one year, I will ask your Aunt Zhang to help, wait and see, and if there is a suitable one, I will introduce you to it."
"Then let's talk about it in a year. Now don't go around making trouble for me. I think my life is pretty good now." Qin Wenjun said to herself. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she always felt at ease staying in the Zhang family's old house. She worked from sunrise to sunset every day. She didn't have to guess what others were thinking, nor did she have to deal with those troublesome social interactions. It was simple and even her mentality was peaceful.
Qin Wenbin, who was standing by, saw that Qin Wenjun was impatient with this topic, and immediately said, "Mom, don't worry about my sister's affairs. If she really doesn't have a partner at that age, she will be anxious without you worrying. You are anxious now, but she doesn't want to get married. You are busy all the time, but in the end you are just wasting your time. What's the point?
I said, you should just live your life well now. If you want to make money, make money. If you don’t want to make money, just rest at home. My father and I don’t ask you to go out to work every day. If you feel bored, talk to people in the village, or find something to kill time, so that you won’t think about unnecessary things! ”
"Hey! I'm doing this for your sister's good!" Mother Qin said unhappily. Thinking of the situation at home, she sighed again. "If our family was as capable as the Zhang family, I wouldn't have to worry so much. Your sister is old. The older a woman gets, the harder it is to find a partner. Youth is a woman's asset.
Your father and I are both incompetent, so that's it. At least we can still work and make some money to support you. We can save some money now to marry your sister. In three to five years, it will be your turn. Anyway, you are still young, so there is no need to rush. By then, maybe we can save enough money to build a house. If it doesn't work, we can go back to our hometown, demolish the old house and build a building for you to marry a wife. In this way, your father and I will really have nothing to worry about!"
The couple can now earn about 7,000 yuan a month, plus the subsidy from Zhang Wanwan, they spend a few hundred yuan a month at most, and the rest is saved. Calculated at 6,000 yuan a month, they can save about 70,000 yuan a year. In addition, Qin Wenbin can save about 60,000 yuan by the New Year from his own monthly income. The three of them alone have a savings of 130,000 yuan a year, not to mention Qin Wenjun. If she saves for two years, she will have enough money for marriage and she won't even need to use the money from her family.
According to this situation, they can save more than 600,000 yuan in five years. They have land in their hometown, so they don't need to buy land to build a house. They can build an ordinary three-story self-built house, and more than 600,000 yuan is enough. It will take another two years to save more than 200,000 yuan, and Qin Wenbin will have enough money to marry. By that time, Qin Wenbin will be in his thirties at most, which is not too old for a man, just right.
Mother Qin had calculated everything well, and the only thing that worried her at the moment was Qin Wenjun's marriage. However, neither the siblings stood on her side, so she could only sigh to herself and couldn't even complain to them.
Qin Wenjun was worried that her mother would continue to recite to her, so she only sat for a while, and only returned to the Zhang family's old house when her father was about to get up.
Just as she reached the door of the old house, she found that the door was ajar and the luxury car parked at the door had not left yet. She went in quietly, closed the door, and returned to her room alone without disturbing the group of people talking in the house.
Zhang Baiyan heard her open the door and went out to take a look. "Are you back?"
"Yeah." Qin Wenjun nodded, forced a smile and said, "It's getting late. My dad still has to keep watch, and my mom and the others have to work early tomorrow morning, so I'm back."
Seeing that she was not very happy, Zhang Baiyan frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
Qin Wenjun shook his head decisively, pointed to the bathroom and said, "I'm going to take a shower. I have to get up early tomorrow."
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Zhang Baiyan didn't ask any more questions.
It was around ten o'clock in the evening when Tian Sen got up and suggested leaving.
Zhang's father and mother could not hold on any longer and went to bed. Only Zhang Baiyan was worried about Zhang Wanwan and stayed with her all the time.
Zhang Wanwan glanced at the time and found it was getting late, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you out. Luckily, you didn't drink much tonight. Only Leng Ziyue drank a glass of osmanthus wine, so it's no problem for you to drive."
Leng Ziyue didn't want to leave and his butt was firmly stuck to the chair.
Tian Sen glared at him and said unhappily, "Why don't you leave? Are you planning to stay at my house?"
"I'm a little drunk and can't walk." Leng Ziyue looked at Tian Sen and Zhang Wanwan aggrievedly.
Zhang Wanwan didn't think much about it. She looked at him in surprise, "You're drunk after just one drink?"
Tian Sen couldn't stand it any longer, he strode over, picked the man up, gritted his teeth, and said with a ferocious smile: "It's okay, even if he faints, I can send him back safely!"
As he said that, Tian Sen asked the third brother to come over to help.
The third brother didn't notice what was happening here at all. Seeing Leng Ziyue like this, he really thought he was drunk. He patted his chest and said, "Brother Tian, leave it to me."
Having said that, the third brother directly asked Tian Sen to put Leng Ziyue on his back and wanted to run away with him on his back.
Leng Ziyue pinched his ear fiercely, turned his head and looked at Zhang Wanwan pitifully, "Then I'll leave first, and come to see you another day."
Zhang Baiyan said with a wry smile: "If you have nothing to do, then you don't have to come. Everyone is very busy."
