She waited for him at home all day yesterday but he didn't come. She thought, what if he didn't come home all day? When she got home in the evening, she heard that he would definitely come to find her the next day.
She knew him well enough to know that he wouldn't break his promise in principle.
As usual, her father left after eating, and her mother was also sent away early. Lin Meizhi washed her hair, put on makeup, wore her newly bought clothes, and sat anxiously in front of the mirror waiting for him.
Looking at her beautiful face and her sexy figure in the mirror, clad in pretty clothes, she just couldn't understand why Wei Mingshen wasn't infatuated anymore. Shouldn't he still have eyes that light up when he sees her, just like before? What went wrong...?
Could that little shrew Su Xueli possibly win him over? His taste isn't that low!
"Meizhi!" A familiar voice outside made her heart leap into her throat.
"Ming Shen!" she exclaimed excitedly as she rushed to the door.
Wei Mingshen stood straight in the courtyard, his calm expression contrasting adorably with her excited demeanor.
When Lin Meizhi realized this, it was as if she had been doused with cold water. Her face turned red, and she lowered her head heavily.
Wei Mingshen walked towards her and said, "I know about what happened yesterday. I'm sorry, I got home too late yesterday, so I could only come to see you this morning."
Upon hearing this, Lin Meizhi thought there was hope and her face lit up with joy again. She reached out and pulled him into the house, eagerly recounting her father's words from the previous day, and enthusiastically envisioning the future: "Mingshen, you tell me, when the time comes, you'll work at the town government and I'll work at the store. I'll ask my dad to find a way to get our household registrations changed to commodity grain, then we'll be dual-income households, and our children will also have commodity grain household registrations... We'll be superior to everyone!"
She moved closer to him. "Ming Shen, both my parents and your parents were against us before, but now it's all right. My parents have given their approval, and my dad even helped you find a job. And your parents seem to have accepted me too. There are no more obstacles between us. Let's get married quickly. I don't want to wait a moment longer..."
Wei Mingshen gently pushed her away and said indifferently, "Meizhi, I came here today to tell you that this matter should be left to those who need it. I am not worthy of it."
Li Meizhi was stunned, staring incredulously at Wei Mingshen's handsome face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Mingshen, is it because you don't like me anymore that you're rejecting this job?"
Wei Mingshen said, "This job is not suitable for me, and I don't want to rely on anyone."
Lin Meizhi asked, "What about our situation? What do you want to do about it?"
Wei Mingshen said, "Meizhi, I've already made my stance clear to you about our relationship. Maybe we really aren't a good match. With your qualifications, you could easily find someone better than me. You know, I have no advantages other than my looks, but you can't live off your appearance."
If you really marry me, we'll start arguing endlessly, and you'll regret your decision today.
Lin Meizhi bit her lip until it turned white.
"Meizhi, don't let your emotions get the better of you. Be rational. We're really not the same kind of people. It's a good thing we didn't end up together. Maybe you can't accept it now, but you'll understand later." With that, she got up and walked out.
"Ming Shen!" Lin Meizhi tried to hug him and hold him back.
Wei Mingshen turned to the side and she missed her target. He caught her from behind and said coldly, "Take care."
Then she strode out of her house, hopped on her bicycle, and sped away.
This time, Lin Meizhi didn't pursue him anymore; she was heartbroken.
"Sister Shirley, you're weaving too fast! I'm busy for a moment and there's no straw left," Xiao Jiu complained as she worked.
Su Xueli said, "You're not used to it yet. Once you get used to it, you can cut a bunch of straw and then weave the base for me. That's how Wei Mingshen does it. He cuts a bunch of straw for me and then goes to color it, doing both at the same time."
"Oh, that person is quite capable. I need to learn from him."
Su Xueli said, "Of course, I don't want anything I can't do."
"Oh, man, man, so handsome, so handsome..." Xiao Jiu suddenly cried out in a hoarse voice.
Su Xueli glanced outside and saw Wei Mingshen slowly pushing his bicycle.
She said calmly, "Don't make a fuss. He's my friend, a worker here just like you. If you keep making such a fuss, I'll hit you."
