Shen Xiaojie spoke in confusion again, not knowing his own weight. He thought he knew Shen Zhizhu was the second boss of the luxury clothing store and was very rich, so Shen Zhizhu would give him the house deed.
Obviously, he overestimated himself and underestimated Shen Zhizhu.
Not only did Shen Zhizhu not give it to him, he also made him realize his own identity, and that he only asked for things that were nothing.
Even the villagers thought that Shen Xiaojie's actions were outrageous. Some of them wanted to persuade him to return to the right path, so they all talked to him and some even cooperated and played the good cop and the bad cop roles.
"Xiaojie, it's not what I said to you. You have been working outside for so long and you don't have any savings? Even if you don't, a man should always have hands and feet. You are healthy and young. If you work more and save more, your parents will definitely help you as they are your only son. Why bother asking Xiaozhu for a house book."
Those who are willing to discuss and make suggestions are neutral, while those who are irritable will just start swearing.
"You bastard, you don't look like a man. If I were the girl you wanted to marry, I wouldn't agree to marry you if I saw you, a cowardly and domineering guy. Look at you, do you look like a good wife?"
Although he was irritable, they were all from the same village, so the uncle did not say anything harsh. He just hoped that the other party would have a rebellious mentality, to prove that he was not a coward, and could pursue the girl through his own efforts instead of having his heart tied to Shen Zhizhu's house deed.
Shen Xiaojie has been spoiled since he was a child and has become the little bully of the family. Except for Shen Jianjun, he would listen to everyone but give in to him, let alone yell at him. How could Shen Xiaojie bear this?
"You are so mean to me! This is my family affair, what does it have to do with you? Why are you so nosy? Be careful or I will ask my dad to cause trouble for you!"
Shen Zhizhu was amused. It was the first time he had seen someone threatening others like this. A grown-up man still had to go home and tell the adults and let the adults find trouble for him. How was he different from a child?
Shen Xiaojie was really spoiled by this couple.
She glanced at Shen Ai Qiu's reaction, and she also looked speechless. It was obvious that she felt that the other party was embarrassing. She kept silent because she didn't want the other party's stupid behavior to affect her image.
"Hahahaha, did you hear that? He actually went home to complain and asked his dad to come and give me trouble. It's so funny. What a coward and wimp."
The uncle was also amused by Shen Xiaojie. He didn't expect that the other party would refute him like this. The people around him also laughed. In their family, children start helping with housework at the age of five. Even if they don't do it, they are very well-behaved.
But being well-behaved only means not causing trouble for the family, it doesn't mean that I'm heartless. I often fight with the kids next door, but I never ask for revenge from the adults if I lose. I just make an appointment to continue next time and win again.
Who is like Shen Xiaojie? He is so old but still looks like this.
Seeing that Shen Xiaojie was about to break down again, the peace-oriented team appeared. They acted as peacemakers to prevent things from getting out of control.
"Hey, stop talking. Xiaojie is still a child. He must have his own difficulties. If we don't know, we shouldn't talk nonsense."
One of the aunties turned around and gave a disapproving look at the hot-tempered uncle, then turned back and asked some questions in a soft voice. Because the first sentence sounded like she was on Shen Xiaojie's side, she looked at the hot-tempered uncle with great pride.
"There are still reasonable people, Sister Zhou, please talk to them, preferably Shen Zhizhu, and ask her to hand over the house deed to me. Time waits for no one, and I am still waiting to marry a wife."
If someone else said this, everyone might have cursed her together, but this person was Mrs. Zhou. She was second to none in terms of weirdness, and no one in the village dared to claim to be first. Just from her first sentence, Shen Zhizhu knew that this person was a friendly force.
Mrs. Zhou only made a few soothing gestures, and then asked Shen Xiaojie in a gentle tone.
"Xiaojie, I have a few questions for you. If I think there is no problem, I will help you persuade Xiaozhu. How about that?"
At this moment, Shen Xiaojie felt that everyone was against him, and only Mrs. Zhou stood on his side. She even talked about his uncle who had just scolded him. Shen Xiaojie trusted her very much and agreed without thinking.
"Sister-in-law, please ask as much as you want. Xiaojie will tell you everything he wants to know."
Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied with Shen Xiaojie's answer and looked at him with a smile.
"Yeah, that's good."
Shen Xiaojie didn't react, but Shen Zhizhu shuddered for unknown reasons. Mrs. Zhou's voice was so gentle, but why did she feel it was a little scary?
Xu Haonan carefully noticed that Shen Zhizhu was shivering, and quickly put the thin coat in his hand on her. Although he felt that the breeze was actually quite comfortable and not cold.
Feeling the coat on my body, I felt a little surprised.
"You want to marry a wife, do you have money at home?"
Shen Xiaojie was a simple-minded person and said whatever he thought, especially since the person in front of him was helping him.
"There's about 300 left at home. My mother didn't tell me the details. She just said that the girl is from the city, and my family said that they would only marry her to me if I could buy a house in the city. But 300 yuan is far from enough to buy a house in the city."
He was really worried. He lost his appetite and just wanted to marry her as soon as possible.
"But you are only seventeen this year. Just wait a few years. When you make money and your father makes money, you can borrow some money from relatives and buy a house in the city. Besides, you have chickens and ducks at home."
Shen Xiaojie's brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked at Mrs. Zhou anxiously.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how beautiful Huahua is. She is a hundred times more beautiful than the best-looking people in our village. She has many suitors around her, some of whom are even from the city. One of them is her childhood sweetheart. If I didn't hurry up, someone else would have gotten her first. Huahua is already 23 years old. It's impossible for her to wait for me for so many years."
Mrs. Zhou seemed to be lost in thought, with a look of confusion on her face.
"Such a beautiful girl, why did she choose you among so many suitors?"
Mrs. Zhou's words might have been just ordinary doubts, but her tone almost expressed that Shen Xiaojie was a waste. The disbelief in her tone was understood by everyone present, and those who understood laughed, while those who didn't understand were still complacent.
"That's a long story. She said she fell in love with me at first sight and had a sense of déjà vu. Actually, I felt the same way about her. I felt that she would definitely be my wife, hehe."
