Of course there is a way.
In fact, there are many.
But the only one that won’t work is someone like Erdanzi who is persistent and clingy. Which good person would like a little hooligan?
"Let me ask you, since you have set your eyes on that girl, have you ever gone to her house to ask for her hand in marriage?"
"Ah?" Erdanzi was embarrassed when she asked this. He lowered his head and scratched his patched clothes helplessly. His frown also revealed a hint of inferiority. "No... Qianqian's family is well-off. Her father is a knife worker in the construction team, and her brother can also drive a small truck. Look at my family. You also know my conditions. I don't know how to talk to them."
He has a good understanding.
Ye Yun: "Then why don't you improve yourself first?"
"Sister-in-law, what you said is the same as what Brother Zheng said." Erdanzi smiled embarrassedly, touched his nose and said, "I also thought about making money first. I wanted to learn how to drive a sports car from Qianqian's brother. I could make money and get close to his brother, but his brother didn't take me with him and told me to get out. You see, I have no education, no skills, and no one likes me. How can I improve myself?"
He was very thin, with sunken cheeks and slightly protruding cheekbones, and he was so thin that it was a little scary.
But when he smiled, his eyes lit up, and his usual frivolity disappeared completely, leaving only the vigor and naivety of a young man of his age.
"Then how dare you chase after that little girl?"
"Ah?" Erdanzi touched the back of his head and said with a red face: "If you like her, just chase her..."
"So do you think you are worthy of her?"
Ye Yun was not polite this time and hit the nail on the head, straight to the heart of Erdanzi.
Erdanzi was stunned, and his face gradually turned gray.
"Brother, don't blame my sister-in-law for her harsh words. Marrying a girl now is not the same as it was in the days of our parents. When a girl grows up, they can't wait to send her away. Now it all depends on the other party's character and conditions. No one wants their daughter to suffer when she marries someone else, right? What's more, the girl's family is well-off. She can't just give up her good life and marry you to suffer, right?"
"you do not say."
Qin Zheng was much more rude to Ye Yun's euphemism. He glanced at Erdanzi coldly and said, "I think you are a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Look at your current conditions. You are not looking for a wife. You want to drag someone into the fire pit to serve your parents for free, right?"
It’s not that Qin Zheng looks down on Erdanzi, he just doesn’t like beating around the bush with the brothers around him.
These words hit Erdanzi's sore spot.
Erdanzi opened his mouth, but in the end, no word came out.
He was only concerned with fooling around with Qianqian, running to Mao's building every day, climbing over the wall, blocking the door, and refusing to give up even after being beaten, just wanting to keep the little girl here.
But he didn't seem to have thought about how the person would live after he kept him there.
Did he want Qianqian, a delicate girl, to continue eating pickled vegetables and drinking cold water with him?
His family is not well off. He is a late-born son and his parents are both old. His father fell down while going up the mountain a few years ago and broke his body. He has to stay in bed and has to spend money to boil some Chinese medicine from time to time. His mother, an old woman, not only has to take care of the crops, but also has to take care of his father who is paralyzed on the kang.
Besides his parents, there was also a little girl in his family who was abandoned by her cruel sister.
His sister had a difficult delivery that year. She screamed in pain for a whole day and night in the clinic before she gave birth to the baby. The little girl cried as weakly as a kitten after holding it in for a long time, and his sister never woke up again. His sister's in-laws despised the child because she was a girl, and they abandoned both the little girl and her sister in the clinic. It was he and his mother who pulled a cart to take his sister home.
He still remembered that it was snowing heavily that day, and the snow falling on them was as cold as his sister's body.
The little girl is only five years old this year and still needs adult care. It is precisely because the family has such a heavy burden that he cannot travel far away at will. He can only live with his mother and take care of the crops. Otherwise, his mother, an old woman, will not be able to take care of this dilapidated home.
Yeah, how could he forget.
How could he forget all these hardships and pursue a girl who grew up in a honeypot?
Isn't he trying to drag people into the fire?
Erdanzi raised his hand and slapped her hard in the face. With a snap, the burning pain made him more sober and made him realize that he almost ruined a good girl's family.
Oh, what a bastard he is.
The slap was loud and strong. Erdanzi's face quickly turned red and a high slap mark was swollen, which made Qin Zheng click his tongue.
Qin Zheng sighed, "I was just talking to you, why are you hitting yourself?"
Erdanzi was rare to remain silent. He looked down at the toes of his old cloth shoes with empty eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Let's go to the girl's house."
Three big unity cards were handed to Erdanzi.
Erdanzi looked up in surprise when he saw the great unity, with a look of confusion in his eyes, "Brother Zheng, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Yun smiled faintly, "Silly, I asked you to go to Qianqian's house to buy some gifts. If you want to drive a sports car with Qianqian's brother, then you have to show your sincerity first, right?"
Qin Zheng also stuffed the money into Erdanzi's hand and taught him in a steady tone, "What about malted milk and walnut cakes? Bring two bottles of wine to your future father-in-law. Then see what the girl likes, clothes or rancid oil. Buy one and give one free. With your sincerity, do you think her brother will let you go?"
Erdanzi looked at the three big unity notes in his hand helplessly and did not dare to accept them.
He had worked hard for half a year but still couldn't save enough to buy three big unity bonds. Now that he had accepted Qin Zheng's money, he felt very happy, but how would he pay it back in the future?
never mind.
Erdanzi stuffed the money back into Qin Zheng's pocket and smiled in a heartless manner, "Brother Zheng, no need. I won't get married."
Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Not getting married anymore?"
"Yes." Erdanzi smiled, "Look at me, I'm poor, with old people and young children. If I marry a wife, she will be a nuisance to the family. She has no skills and no education. It's better for me to live alone. After sending the old ones away, I can find a husband for the little girl. If I eat, the whole family will not be hungry. How cool."
It also saves the girl from suffering with him.
Erdanzi waved his hand, suppressed the bitterness in his eyes, said nothing more, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Qin Zheng called out to him.
When Erdanzi came back to his senses, he saw Qin Zheng taking out several big unity cards from his pocket.
"No, Brother Zheng, stop working." Erdanzi quickly refused, and the next second Qin Zheng stuffed three Big Unity Banknotes into his chest pocket.
As if it was not enough, Qin Zheng counted out two more from his pocket and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Take it."
Qin Zheng said in a deep voice, "It's not wrong for you to want to get married. No one says that if you don't have good conditions, you should be single. No one is born to be a big boss. As long as you are ambitious and have a promising future, why worry about not being able to give the girl a good life in the future?"
Erdanzi couldn't help but stare in astonishment.
Qin Zheng patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Think about it carefully, don't reject it too quickly, or you will regret it when you are old."
Erdanzi lowered his head.
His eyes were red.
He covered his chest pocket with his hands, and the five big unity bills burned his heart like red-hot irons.
