Su Xueli said, "He found someone to help him move it over."
He Yujie was somewhat surprised, but still said in a low voice, "That's good."
Su Xueli said, "I'm happy today, and it's a memorable day. I'll treat you to dinner."
He Yujie smiled and said, "Sure."
Su Xueli led the two to a restaurant. Of course, the only two restaurants in town at that time were very simple and did not employ professional chefs. They were both family-run businesses serving home-style dishes.
The three of them ordered four dishes and a bottle of wine. Su Xueli poured wine for the two of them and said, "Don't be shy. Order more food after you finish eating, and open more wine after you finish drinking. Let's have a good time today."
He Yujie said with a smile, "I don't usually drink, but I'll have a little today so as not to spoil the fun."
Feeling unhappy, He Yulan wanted to drown her sorrows in alcohol, so she said boldly, "Sister Xue Li, I'll risk my life to keep you company today."
Su Xueli smiled at her, "Little girl, don't shoot yourself in the foot, or you'll get so drunk you'll lose your bearings."
Su Xueli hadn't expected the young girl to get drunk so quickly. After only a few rounds, He Yulan was completely defeated, crying her eyes out.
Hugging her brother, she said, "Brother, our parents want me to go on blind dates, but I won't. I've decided on Yunfeng for the rest of my life. If anyone forces me, I'll go work with Yunfeng and never come back..."
Hearing her say that, Su Xueli actually came up with an idea. She thought to herself, "Your parents are really pressuring you. You don't have to work outside. You can continue doing what you used to do!"
Seeing that she was drunk, He Yujie didn't talk to her about anything, but just coaxed her, "Okay, let's talk when we get home, let's talk when we get home."
Then he said to Su Xueli, "She's drunk, I'll take her home to rest."
Su Xueli asked him, "Will your parents scold her if she goes home like this?"
He Yujie smiled and said, "Don't worry."
He lived nearby, so He Yujie returned quickly. As soon as he came in, he apologized, "I'm so sorry, you must have found this amusing."
Su Xueli apologized: "What are you saying? Logically speaking, it was me who got her drunk, so it's my fault."
"Haha, it's nothing, it's just that she can't drink but she's trying to be brave."
"It's not that she's showing off, it's just that she's unhappy. Today I heard your mother urging her to go on blind dates."
He Yujie shook his head and said, "Our two families have really gone too far. It's becoming increasingly difficult for both sets of parents to accept their relationship."
Moreover, in our rural area, Yulan is considered too old to marry if she doesn't find a husband soon, so my parents naturally pressure her to go on blind dates.
Su Xueli looked at He Yujie and asked, "So what do you mean?"
He Yujie said seriously, "I have always supported their relationship, but now that the two families have fallen out so badly and become enemies, I am not so optimistic about them."
I'm afraid that even if they force themselves to get together, their relationship will be affected by their parents, unless they don't live with their parents. But your brother is an only child, which is impossible in our rural area.
That's true. In rural areas during that era, people were conservative. A son had to eat from the same pot as his parents, and the young couple couldn't live separately until the parents passed away.
Su Yunfeng's parents' discrimination against He Yulan's job is deeply ingrained. In addition, the two families fought so badly that the two children ended up in the hospital. It is almost impossible for the two families to reconcile with each other.
