At the steel factory gate, He approached. The factory security guard frowned and asked her warily, "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, brother, I want to find Su Congjun from your factory." He said with a shy smile on her face. She had to confirm whether this was true or false.
"Su Congjun?" The security guard looked at her suspiciously. "Who are you to him?"
He knew Su Aimin, so he naturally knew that Su Congjun was Su Aimin's nephew, so he was quite familiar with him.
"I'm his aunt." He rolled her eyes and said.
"Auntie?" The security guard looked at her but didn't ask any further questions. "It's working hours now. Workers are not allowed to leave the factory. Please leave."
"Okay, okay, I'll come again next time." He nodded hurriedly and turned away.
A huge wave of emotion rose in her heart. This person knew Su Congjun, and Su Congjun really worked in the steel plant!
He's mind was in a mess. She didn't even bother to buy anything and went back home in a daze. She was still dazed when she reached the door of her house.
"Why did you come back empty-handed? Where are the things you bought?" He's father stood at the door, looking at He with empty hands, wondering.
"I didn't buy it." He still looked dazed.
"Then what did you do in the county?"
"I went to the steel factory." He wiped her face.
He's father was even more confused, "What are you doing at the steel mill?"
"What?" He smiled bitterly. "Do you know what I heard on the bus to the county town today?"
"What's up?"
He took a deep breath and said, "Su Congjun from the Su family in Luoshui Village is now a worker at the county steel mill."
"What? How is that possible?" He's father looked shocked.
"I also thought it was impossible, so I went to the steel mill to ask, and found out that Su Congjun really was working there."
"This, this, this..." He's father was speechless. He looked at He's mother's regretful face and didn't know what to say.
"Her father, tell me, did we do something wrong? We shouldn't have rejected the Su family's marriage proposal. Originally, Qinqin also liked that Su Congjun." He's face was full of regret that could not be concealed.
"Not only Su Congjun, but also his younger brother and sister. One of his brothers is in the army, and the other graduated from high school and may be able to pass the exam to become a worker in the future. The most important thing is that his sister was actually featured in the provincial newspaper and was praised by the whole province." She repeated the man's words one by one.
Compared to the current Su family, what was the Zhang family? It was only 88 yuan as a betrothal gift. She had heard that workers in the city could earn 20 to 30 yuan a month. 88 yuan was just a few months' salary for Su's military service, not to mention that the Zhang family boy was paralyzed on one side.
"Don't even think about it." Seeing her thoughtful expression, He's father sighed, "The wedding date has been set. Qinqin and the Zhang family kid are getting married soon. If we change our minds, how could the Zhang family possibly agree? Besides, we offended the Su family so badly last time. How could they possibly marry us again? Let's just assume that Qinqin doesn't have this blessing."
"Why is it impossible? At worst, we can return the betrothal money to the Zhang family and call off the engagement." The more He spoke, the more tempted she became. "Besides, Qinqin and Su Congjun like each other. If Qinqin goes, the Su family might agree for the sake of their two children's happiness."
"Don't even think about it. I absolutely won't go!" He Qinqin came back at some point. She stood not far away, her face determined. "I absolutely won't go to the Su family to look for Brother Congjun!"
"Hey, kid!" He was anxious. "Don't you like him? Now I ask you to marry him and you're not willing to do it?"
"I just won't go!" He Qinqin gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I like Brother Congjun...but that was in the past."
"Mom, you wanted me to marry into the Zhang family because of the betrothal gift from the Zhang family. Now you want me to marry into the Su family because of my status as a soldier and a worker. Mom, have you ever thought about how others will view our He family and me if we keep breaking our promises? "
"I'm a person, not something you can trade with! If I break off the engagement again, how can I face anyone?" He Qinqin cried out in agony, "This time, no matter how hard you force me, I won't go to the Su family!"
After saying that, she threw down the firewood in her hand, ran into the room, slammed the door, and left the shocked He father and mother.
"Forget it, don't think about it." He's father patted He's shoulder and sighed.
Why should she let it go? At night, He lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Whenever she thought of the benefits of being a mother-in-law of a worker, her heart was filled with passion and regret.
No, she didn't believe it. Su Congjun no longer had any feelings for Qinqin. She had to fight for him again! He had made up her mind.
