Chapter 279: What can't you do with money? If you want to keep a gigolo, keep a gigolo
"Rongrong!"
"I've found a very good one for you." Aunt Qian held He Rongrong's hand and said it with great joy.
"The man is two years older than you. His parents are still alive and he has an older sister. His family is very wealthy and they don't mind you bringing your father with you. They are also willing to treat your father's illness and pay off your debts."
"You don't have a choice this time, do you?"
He Rongrong's mouth twitched. She really regretted not following Zhou Lian's example and making up a lover for herself to arouse Aunt Qian's desire to act as a matchmaker.
Why is she so stupid?
Now that's it!
Zhou Lian couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't that man a fool?"
He said he was willing to pay so much money to the girl without even meeting her. It seemed sinister no matter how you looked at it.
Wen Jiu thought so too.
He is two years older than He Rongrong, which means he is 22. Many people of this age already have several children. Besides, his family is wealthy and not poor.
How can you still not be able to get married?
It's probably more powerful than any stupid question.
Aunt Qian said unhappily, "Am I such an unreliable person?"
"The men are all dead."
"He just died yesterday."
!!!!!!!
She wants He Rongrong to marry a dead man?
Wenjiu was immediately furious, "Aunt Qian, you still say you are reliable? What happened to our Rongrong that you want to introduce her to a dead person? Have you ever seen a young girl marry a dead person?"
Aunt Qian looked at her with an expression that said you don't understand. "You don't have any knowledge, do you? Even though the man is dead, his money is still there! In a few years, the two of you will be too old to take care of things. Then you can be the head of the family. You have money, so you can find any man you want. We can find the kind of man you want. What's wrong with being frustrated for two years in exchange for happiness in the second half of your life?"
"If I wasn't older and had some connection with that place, you wouldn't have gotten such a good thing!"
What can't you do if you have money?
If you want to keep a gigolo, then keep one. Whoever is jealous, let her be jealous!
What does it have to do with me?
He Rongrong, Wen Jiu, and Zhou Lian couldn't help but widen their eyes and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Is this Aunt Qian really from this era?
Why do they look so different?
Her thinking was so advanced!
What she said really made people feel moved, but He Rongrong was an honest, kind and decent girl. She was not thick-skinned enough and not mentally strong enough. She would never do such a thing even if she was beaten to death.
"Thank you so much, Aunt Qian, but I really don't want to get married right now. I want to pay off my debts first and then go to school." Not being able to go to school is He Rongrong's regret.
She wants to go to night school to fulfill her wish.
She had never said these words before, so she didn't even know how to warm the wine.
Aunt Qian looked at He Rongrong with deep affection in her eyes and knew that she had her own thoughts, so she kept silent.
"Okay, okay."
"I won't tell you again from now on. I'll find someone for you when you need me."
"You guys go ahead and do your work, Auntie is leaving."
After she left, Wen Jiu couldn't help but say to Zhou Lian, "Brother Zhou, why don't you consider asking Aunt Qian to make coal for you?"
This idea——
This knowledge——
She admitted that she was shallow.
Given Aunt Qian's condition, maybe she can introduce someone particularly good to Zhou Lian.
Zhou Lian pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Look at Aunt Qian's personality and thoughts. If I dare to tell her that I lied to her, she will feel uncomfortable, right?"
Who likes to be lied to?
She is not stupid!
"My business is not urgent. I have been single for so many years anyway. A few more years won't be a big problem. I will save more money to renovate the house. I can't marry a wife who will suffer with me, right?"
All of his military allowances over the years were spent on his father's medical treatment, but in the end his father could not be saved and the family was still destitute.
Get married?
What knot should I use?
His mother is anxious for him to get married. She always tells how when she married his father, their family didn't even have an adobe house but a thatched hut. She asks how they worked so hard to live in an adobe house today. But times are changing, and people are changing too. How can we use the old thinking to judge the present?
They used to work hard to support their families. Could they have anticipated that one day with reform and opening up, ordinary people would be able to set up stalls and do business to make money?
Wen Jiu felt that what Zhou Lian said made sense. The men around her were all very good. They had their own ideas and were not idle. They knew how to respect and care for women.
"Then you should make money first!"
"Take a chance and your bicycle will turn into a motorcycle."
"Brother, I'm rooting for you!"
"I'm optimistic about you, too!" He Rongrong cheered Zhou Lian up by imitating the words of a wine warmer, which made Zhou Lian blush and couldn't help but put his hands on his head and smile foolishly.
His mother always said that he was a fool with strange ideas, but the fact that he was recognized by his sister-in-law and Rongrong proved that there was nothing wrong with his ideas.
Work hard to make money!
Come on, come on!
Guests came in groups one after another as if they were here to pay their respects to Xia Huaishan. Zhou Lian and He Rongrong were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat and had to take turns going.
Seeing that they were too busy, Lu Qingqing put away the dishes after dinner and began to clean the main room that would be used for the family recognition banquet in the evening. She wiped the tables, chairs and benches clean and arranged them neatly, and even the yard outside was not spared.
Even though He Sheng had difficulty moving, he was never idle. He would quickly clean up anything he didn't like, and his smile was brighter than the sun.
There are advantages to having so many customers. Today's goods were sold out just after lunch time.
Wen Jiu immediately said: "Close the door, close the door!"
"Okay!"
Zhou Lian bolted the door quickly.
This is their daily tradition. Once 50 pieces of clothing are sold, they will close the shop and go home.
The weather has been getting colder recently, and the business in the store has been getting worse and worse, because the thickness of the clothes is not suitable and cannot keep out the cold.
There are still fifty pieces in the warehouse, and there are estimated to be about a hundred pieces at home and those that my sisters-in-law will make in the next few days. We will stop working after all of them are sold.
But closing the door is impossible.
She has a big move waiting for her!
He Rongrong was worried about her engagement, so she went to the kitchen as soon as she finished her work. By then, Lu Qingqing had already prepared all the vegetables that needed to be cut, and had placed them neatly cut on the chopping board.
"You are so capable. You managed to cut all the vegetables in such a short time." He Rongrong couldn't help but praise Lu Qingqing as she looked at the vegetables she had cut beautifully and placed on the plate.
After spending a long time with Wenjiu, her timid character improved a lot, and she became less and less stingy in giving compliments to others, because that was how Wenjiu treated her.
Lu Qingqing was a little shy after being praised, and she pursed her lips and said embarrassedly: "Sister Rongrong, this is the menu my sister-in-law and Huaishan brother made. I don't know how to cook most of them, and I didn't touch the dishes. Please tell me how to make them."
He Rongrong took the menu and looked at it carefully.
The menu includes seven vegetarian dishes, seven meat dishes and one soup.
Vegetarian dishes include: fried eggs, fried bamboo shoots, cold spinach, cold bean sprouts, fried eggs, and cabbage and tofu.
The dishes include: stir-fried meat with celery, steamed meat, braised carp, chicken stewed with chestnuts, stir-fried pork liver, pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, and cold pig's ears.
Plus lotus root and pork ribs soup.
This scale is even grander than a banquet.
