The two of them sat there awkwardly. Uncle Ge didn't know what to say. He had never had a partner in his life.
"Brother Ge, I've told you that my husband and son are both gone, my daughter-in-law remarried with my granddaughter, I don't have a pension, I live on odd jobs, and I have two houses at home. I want five dollars a month, I want to leave some room for myself, if you're not well off, you don't have to give me, just give me twenty dollars a year. I'll live with you later, and I can rent out my house."
Before Uncle Ge could say anything, Aunt Yuan lowered her price herself. She felt that at her age, she should live a good life with the man. If she asked for money, it would seem like she was after the man's money. She was afraid of being looked down upon.
When Uncle Ge heard this, he thought that this woman should not have any ulterior motives and was quite honest, so he also said frankly, "Sister, I am at this age and have never been married. When I get old, I want someone to take care of me and suffer less. I am so much older than you, and you don't have children. If I die first, what will you do?"
Aunt Yuan smiled bitterly, "I have always lived alone. In the end, I have to live alone. Even if I find someone with children, their children can't support me. In other words, you don't despise me, but people with children despise me for being unlucky."
"What nonsense! What's the fate of a person? It has nothing to do with others." Uncle Ge disagreed and said, "Just think it over. My monthly salary is 45 yuan. Medical expenses are reimbursed, and I give you 5 yuan a month, and I keep 10 yuan for emergencies. If you get sick or have a disaster, you can take this money. The rest is enough for the two of us to live. We won't be rich, but we can just make ends meet. If I die first, the house will be yours, and you won't have to serve me for nothing."
Uncle Ge said whatever he thought, giving the other party peace of mind.
Aunt Yuan's eyes turned red. She gave her five dollars and left ten dollars for her medical treatment. That meant she would only be given fifteen dollars. She would return the house to her later...
"Brother, since you care about me so much, I will definitely live a good life with you. Don't worry, I am not a heartless person."
"Okay then, let's live a good life." Uncle Ge's eyes were sore and he was very excited. No one had ever said this to him in his life.
Neither of them would say anything, but both felt that their hearts had found a home.
Uncle Ge and Aunt Yuan came out of the west room and took out 20 yuan to give the old lady as "agency fee"
Old lady… “Why don’t you two talk about it again?”
"Just get along as you live your life. You're too old to compete with young people." Uncle Ge blushed.
Aunt Yuan felt embarrassed to stand behind Uncle Ge. It looked like the husband and wife were following suit.
"Then you just live a good life and take the money back. We are old neighbors, how can I take money from you!" The old lady stuffed the money back to Uncle Ge.
Uncle Ge said he didn't want anything, but Aunt Yuan also stopped the old lady and said, "Thank you for the matchmaking money, it should be paid. Without you, we would never have met in this life. Take it!"
"Good luck in opening your business, everything will go smoothly, of course you won't not collect the money, you are doing business! Collect it quickly," said Grandpa Ge with a fierce face, he found such a suitable partner for him, this little money is nothing.
The old lady thought so too. She didn’t expect the business to be opened so smoothly. It could be done with just one meeting.
Aunt Yuan had to go to work in the afternoon, so she went back home with Fenglan.
"Sister, I'm planning to treat the courtyard staff to a meal in a few days, and then I'll get rid of this thing of mine." Uncle Ge said shyly.
"It's so fast, just get to know each other well and don't be in a hurry." Da Laba still cares about Uncle Ge. They have decided after having the meal, and it will be troublesome if they regret it.
"I think she's quite practical. She doesn't have any children, so she probably doesn't have those thoughts. At her age, she can still act like a young person. Why not make a date? I've been calcium-deficient since I was a child, and I've been lacking love since I was a child. My grandma doesn't love me, and my uncle doesn't love me. I should settle down as soon as possible."
