Back at his lodgings, Zhou Jiadong gave his wages to Yu Qiuying.
He only received a little over half a month's salary, a little over 180 yuan.
Yu Qiuying accepted one hundred yuan. "I've raised you all these years, and you're accepting this money? From now on, just give me one hundred yuan every month, and you can open a savings account and keep the rest for yourself."
In her past life, she raised this son for nothing, so in this life, Yu Qiuying will not be polite to him. Filial piety is meaningless; only money matters.
"Mom, I won't save it anymore, you can have it all. I'll keep twenty yuan for myself."
Actually, he was provided with food and accommodation at the factory, so he didn't spend much money at all. He bought all his daily necessities when he entered the factory, and they would last a long time. He only needed to spend a little money on breakfast and occasionally a late-night snack. Twenty yuan a month was enough for him.
Yu Qiuying gave him a cool look. "Don't try that on me. I'll only take what I'm entitled to. You can spend the rest or save it, just don't ask me for a bride price to get married in the future."
Zhou Jiadong: "..."
This matter can't be resolved, right...?
Zhou Jiadong looked a little disappointed and lowered his eyes, but ultimately didn't say anything more.
Before going back to the factory in the afternoon, I opened a savings account, deposited sixty yuan, and kept more than twenty yuan for use.
Not long after he returned to the factory dormitory, Li Ting came to find him.
Li Ting invited him out, "Jiadong, let's go out for dinner."
"I...I'm not going. You go by yourself." Zhou Jiadong thought that his mother hadn't forgiven him yet, and he wasn't in the mood for dating, so he declined Li Ting's invitation.
He thought he should focus on working and earning money first. He would find a partner after his mother forgave him, and he would get married as long as his mother was satisfied with the partner he found.
Li Ting had no idea what Zhou Jiadong was thinking, but she was taken aback when he said he wasn't going.
Then she frowned, "What's wrong? Why aren't you going?"
"It's nothing, I just don't want to go. Don't come looking for me again, I don't have those feelings for you..." Zhou Jiadong said, then tried to go back to his dorm.
Li Ting was stunned for a moment, then grabbed his hand. "No, what do you mean?"
She was a little annoyed. What did this person mean?
Are you just stringing her along?
Why didn't he say he didn't have feelings for her when she bought him breakfast, late-night snacks, and waited in line to get him food?
Li Ting opened her mouth to question him, but when she saw someone looking in their direction, she pulled Zhou Jiadong downstairs.
She dragged Zhou Jiadong to a small grove of trees not far behind the factory area. This grove was a popular dating spot for couples from the surrounding factories.
Li Ting and Zhou Jiadong had been here once before. Behind the grove of trees was a river, and across the river was a village.
It's only a little past five o'clock, and it's not dark yet. If it were dark, I wouldn't dare come to the grove.
As soon as they entered the grove, Zhou Jiadong shook off Li Ting's hand, "Why did you drag me here..."
Li Ting immediately pressed herself against Zhou Jiadong, hugging him tightly. "Zhou Jiadong, you know I like you, you know I'm pursuing you, so why haven't you accepted me? What did you mean by what you just said? If you really didn't have those feelings for me, why didn't you say so before? Why didn't you reject my advances?"
Zhou Jiadong froze, and his face suddenly turned burning hot.
He tried to push Li Ting away, but Li Ting held onto him tightly.
The girl's soft body pressed tightly against him, and it would be a lie to say that he, a young and vigorous man, didn't have some reaction.
His breathing became a little short, "You, you can't do this, let go..."
But Li Ting wouldn't let go. "No, Zhou Jiadong, tell me honestly, you clearly have feelings for me, don't you?"
Zhou Jiadong didn't know how to talk to her. After a long silence, he finally spoke, his mouth a little dry: "If I agree to date you, will your family ask for a bride price when we get married?"
