"Are you stupid? Why would Aunt Sheng give you anything?"
That's called a greeting gift; it's a way of acknowledging that you and Sheng Xiping are together. Oh my goodness, you're really something else!"
Tang Fengying also pulled Zhou Qinglan a few steps to the side and muttered to herself.
When Tang Fengying and Gao Haining first got together, Gao Haining's mother gave Tang Fengying a gift. She understood this.
Upon hearing Tang Fengying's words, Zhou Qinglan understood, and her face turned even redder.
"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?" Zhou Qinglan looked at the handkerchief, feeling uneasy.
An eighteen-year-old girl, leaving her parents to come to this remote mountain village, experiencing something like this for the first time, it's inevitable that she would feel flustered and confused.
"What's wrong with it? What, you're not really serious about being with Sheng Xiping?"
Tang Fengying whispered in Zhou Qinglan's ear.
Zhou Qinglan looked up at Sheng Xiping and then quickly looked down again.
"No, I'm genuinely in a relationship with him, but this is all too fast, isn't it?"
Just two days ago, Sheng Xiping publicly expressed his feelings in front of everyone.
She received a gift from the Sheng family today. Isn't this progressing too fast?
"Tch, if you think it's too fast, then forget it."
Don't think you're the only one in demand; Sheng Xiping is also a well-known good young man in Qianchuan Forest Farm.
"If I hadn't let Gao Haining cling to me so early on, I would have pursued Sheng Xiping long ago."
Tang Fengying rolled her eyes and then pouted.
Good girls and good boys are rare finds; if you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
"Then, I'll accept this?"
Zhou Qinglan bit her lower lip and secretly glanced at Sheng Xiping, who had been pulled aside by Gao Haining.
"Anyway, if you want things to work out with him, then accept it."
Once you accept the money, treat the person well. When you return to town, explain everything to my uncle and aunt.
Find some opportunity to have my cousin and aunt come over and see the Sheng family and Sheng Xiping.
If it's okay, you two can finalize it, then everyone will be at ease.
Tang Fengying went to great lengths for her cousin.
"If you don't want anything to happen with them, and you're still thinking about when they'll recruit you back to the city and then just walk away."
Or perhaps you think the Sheng family's conditions aren't good enough, but you still want a chance to climb the social ladder and find someone like Sun Yunpeng.
Then you shouldn't take things from others, and you should stay away from them in the future.
Although she was her own cousin, Tang Fengying did not show complete favoritism.
After all, Sheng Xiping and Gao Haining are still good friends, and they can't just watch Sheng Xiping get dumped and feel sad.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qinglan finally made up her mind and put the handkerchief and its contents away.
Tang Fengying was delighted when she saw it.
She genuinely hoped that Zhou Qinglan would find a partner soon, so that those spoiled brats wouldn't keep scheming against her.
The main reason is that Zhou Qinglan's appearance and temperament are too outstanding, attracting attention.
The Tang family can protect Zhou Qinglan for a while, but they can't protect her all the time.
What if we are careless and Zhou Qinglan gets bullied?
If Zhou Qinglan were to marry Sheng Xiping, given Sheng Xiping's abilities and popularity, all the young people at Qianchuan Forest Farm would have to call Zhou Qinglan "sister-in-law."
Out of respect for Sheng Xiping, anyone would be willing to give him a second look.
Under Tang Fengying's persuasion, Zhou Qinglan accepted the Sheng family's gift.
Gao Haining was also quietly giving Sheng Xiping advice, which was nothing more than how to pursue girls and how to treat them well.
The two whispered for a while, and just then they heard Tang Fengying cough, so they hurried over.
Tang Fengying winked at Gao Haining, who quickly tugged at Sheng Xiping's sleeve.
Sheng Xiping understood and knew that Zhou Qinglan had accepted the gifts, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, it's getting late, everyone should go back and rest. We still have work to do tomorrow. Get some rest early."
Sheng Xiping nodded to Zhou Qinglan without saying anything else, so as not to embarrass her.
Zhou Qinglan's face was still red, so she nodded obediently and whispered a word of advice.
Be careful on your way back.
After saying that, she looked embarrassed and pulled her cousin along, then ran into the Tang family's gate.
"Brother, thanks. I'll definitely give you a big gift when you and Fengying get married."
Sheng Xiping raised his hand and patted Gao Haining on the shoulder.
Thanks to these two divine assists, it seems that he will win the heart of his beauty sooner than in his previous life.
This is also what Sheng Xiping hopes for; ideally, he could finalize the deal with the Zhou family before the Chinese New Year this year.
After the New Year, Zhou Qinglan no longer needed to live at the educated youth settlement, thus naturally avoiding the accident from her previous life.
No, it might not wait until after the New Year. As long as there's an opportunity, Sheng Xiping will definitely find a way to deal with those two.
Even if we don't cripple them, we have to find a way to get rid of these people elsewhere, so they won't be an eyesore around us.
"Why are we being so formal with each other, brothers?" Gao Haining laughed, waved to Sheng Xiping, and went back home.
Sheng Xiping shook his head and smiled, then quickly walked back.
On the Sheng family's side, Zhang Shuzhen was about to lead her daughter to clear the table when Sheng Liancheng called her aside.
Sheng Liancheng brought up Gao Haining's words at the dinner table and asked his wife if she knew about their eldest son's relationship with a young intellectual from the town.
"Are you really stupid or just pretending?"
Why are they coming to our house for dinner tonight? Isn't it just to set up an opportunity for our boss and Qinglan, and to let Qinglan have a look around?
Zhang Shuzhen looked at her husband with disgust.
She realized that this man was as careless as a water tank.
It's so obvious, who wouldn't understand?
Besides, Gao Haining already asked that question, so how could she not know what she meant?
"Oh dear, I really didn't think of that."
So, that means our son has had feelings for her for a while now? How's the girl? Have you taken a liking to her?
Sheng Liancheng slapped his forehead. It was true, his brain was completely useless. How could he not have thought of that?
"Nonsense, how could I not like such a good girl?"
I had my son give the gift to Qinglan.
When you went to the provincial capital for a meeting a few years ago and received the award for outstanding worker, didn't you bring me back a watch from the province?
I never wore it; I was saving it as a gift for my daughter-in-law when we first met.
Zhang Shuzhen rolled her eyes at her husband, annoyed. She didn't know what she had ever seen in this man; he was such a blockhead.
By the time he realized what was happening, the daylily was already cold.
Sheng Liancheng is a bit slow-witted, and after drinking some alcohol, it's normal that his mind isn't working properly.
Even though his wife was complaining about him, he wasn't angry. He just scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
"Alright, stop laughing. Go back to your room and go to sleep. I'll tidy up the kitchen and then go to sleep too."
Zhang Shuzhen waved her hand dismissively, sending the man to bed inside.
She quickly gathered up the dishes and other items, throwing them all into the pot to wash.
