"How do you recognize my second sister? She didn't come out that night."
"Your second sister is a famous person in town because she sells clothes at a stall. Is there another Zhou family at the food station?"
“How’s your barbecue business going?”
"Business is good when it's hot, but now that it's getting cold, few people come out at night, so we're closed and will reopen in April.
This is all thanks to you. In the past six months, each of the six of us has received more than 2,000 yuan."
"So what are you going to do with the money? Eat, drink and have fun?"
"What else can I do?"
Zhou Xiang was so angry that he wanted to kick him. "Don't you know what to do? Can't you save money? Can't you buy the yard you live in and rebuild it? If you don't build a house first, how can you get married and have children? How can you live a good life?
"You should also find a way to buy a house in the city! Do you always have to rent? What if someone deliberately tries to make things difficult for you and raises the rent?"
“I don’t have that much money.”
"You're so stupid! Buy the ones in town and build more next time when you have enough money. Wu Haotian and the others can buy the ones in the county, so why should you be the only one responsible for all of this? If you keep doing this, you're not protecting them, but hurting them instead, making them unable to manage their money."
Zhu Hang looked at her and asked in a serious tone, "Why are you so nice to us, or to me? You lent me money for business and taught me how to plan for my money and future. I didn't believe your previous reasons. What reasons do you have this time?"
Zhou Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm actually quite optimistic about you guys. You're loyal and you value affection. I want to train you to be a good brother-in-law. Are you willing?"
Zhu Hang was frightened by this reason and stood up involuntarily. "Don't talk nonsense. You know who I was before. I even came to your house to steal. Don't make me happy. I always felt that I should be single for the rest of my life."
Zhou Xiang was amused by his stuttering tone and pointed to the bench to signal him to sit down.
Zhu Hang sat down obediently, no longer as casual as before.
Zhou Xiang coughed and said seriously, "I really think so. My second sister is a lazy person. Someone must be able to control her. Besides, she is simple-minded.
Therefore, for my future brother-in-law, I have always hoped to find someone who is intimidating, loyal, and can take care of my family.
You see, my eldest brother definitely needs someone to take care of him. My third brother and I are still young, so we need a young man at home.
And you, without any family burden, are a loyal person. Now, you are starting to change. I will help you plan, and I also hope that my second sister can live a good life.
I know who the man you met today is. He is from Zhangzhuang, Liuzhen. He has always coveted my sister. My family has rejected him, but he still refuses to give up and keeps pestering her every day. I never thought he would do such a thing.
I know that what happened today has made you dislike my sister. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. I will…” Find another one for my second sister.
"No, I do."
Before Zhou Xiang finished his last words, Zhu Hang stood up and answered.
"Really? No regrets? Even if you become wealthy in the future, even if you have opportunities and a better future, you will never despise my family, my sister, or what happened today?"
Zhu Hang shook his head like a rattle. "No, never. Not to mention your kindness to us brothers. Even with your second sister's conditions, many people are flocking to her. Many families in the town have had ideas. I have never dared to have such an idea. I... I have a bad reputation."
At the end of his speech, Zhu Hang lowered his head.
Zhou Xiang pondered, this statement is a bit problematic, what does it mean "I have never dared to have such thoughts"?
"Do you have any thoughts about my second sister?"
Zhu Hang blushed immediately. "I, I don't dare. Your second sister is very good. Not only does she have a formal job, she also works hard to make money. I, I don't think I am worthy of it. I don't even deserve the idea."
Zhou Xiang gestured for him to sit down again.
"You don't have to belittle yourself. I know why you became a gangster. What I want is not the past, but the present and the future.
Now, you've changed. In the future, you can be good to my second sister, be filial to my parents, and love and care for us brothers and sisters. These are what I want and hope for. Can you give them to me?"
"Yes, I can. I promise. I can write a letter of guarantee."
"Okay, write it!"
Hehe, a brother-in-law who came to my door automatically, a letter of guarantee that was delivered to my door automatically.
After finishing the letter of guarantee in a daze, Zhu Hang finally thought, "Will your second sister agree? Will she like me?"
"Don't worry about that. As long as my mom and I agree, there's no problem. However, you have to pursue her seriously and attentively. For example, that Zhang Lian pesters my sister every day. You have to pick her up and drop her off at get off work and drive away these annoying people.
During this winter, when you are not busy and my sister is not setting up a stall anymore, you can go out and have fun."
"Okay, I'll come see her tomorrow. By the way, I asked Wu Haotian to ask for two days' leave from her workplace."
"Yeah! That's great. It's very thoughtful and considerate of you to do this. It just so happens that my sister will be home for the next three days. You can come over and get familiar with her."
Zhu Hang never thought that by saving someone, he could also find a partner, who would become his wife in the future.
After leaving Zhou's house in a daze, Wu Haotian and others outside were waiting anxiously. Does it take so long to send someone off?
The weather is so cold, I feel tired after standing for a long time, and it’s cold to sit on the swing chair. I don’t dare to enter the Zhou family’s yard casually, in case there is a misunderstanding. Besides, the two dogs in the Zhou family are very fierce.
"Boss, what took you so long? Did that girl Zhou Xiang give you a hard time?" Wang Qiao asked first.
Zhu Hang shook his head and said, "Let's go back and talk about it."
Seeing the boss's smile, Wu Haotian interrupted Wang Qiao, who was about to ask more questions, and said, "Let's go. Didn't the boss say we'll talk about it when we get back?"
When Zhu Hang arrived at the dilapidated courtyard at the north end, he hadn't noticed it before, but now when he looked at the courtyard and the house with adobe walls, he suddenly felt that they were so unpleasant.
After entering the house and everyone sat down, Zhu Hang said, "I want to buy this dilapidated yard and tear it down and rebuild it."
Zhong Xiong stood up and touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever! Why did the boss suddenly want to buy such a shabby yard?
Zhu Hang waved his hand away and looked at Wu Haotian. "You buy the yard we rented in the county town. If it's not enough, we can buy it together. Also, I want to borrow money from you. Although this yard is shabby, it will probably cost more than a thousand yuan. I also want to build a house, so I'm short of money. Can you lend me some money first?"
"Boss, there's no problem in borrowing money. We'll just squander it if we take it. I just want to know, what did Zhou want to tell you? Did he want you to buy a yard and build a house?" Wu Haotian asked seriously.
