But hasn't he started dating someone lately?
As for his girlfriend, she is quite pretty, with a fair and smooth face and a beautiful figure. In short, she is quite... pleasing to the eye.
He was quite satisfied with everything, the only downside being that it was a bit expensive.
For example, when it comes to food and drink, he has been using Zhou Mingjie's name to rack up several bills at Siyuan Restaurant these days.
Furthermore, she kept nagging him to buy new clothes, and he had no choice but to borrow some money from others to buy her two outfits.
To be honest, he's been under a lot of pressure lately, and he's accumulated a lot of debt in just this period of time.
If he doesn't pay it back soon, they're going to teach him a lesson.
Moreover, if his girlfriend finds out he's just a poor guy, it's a small matter if she stops talking to him.
He was afraid that she would turn around and bring her whole family to deal with him.
You should know that her family is no pushovers.
The men were all burly and strong, and the women were exceptionally feisty. He felt that with his small frame, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle them.
"This town is so big, why worry about not having work? You're a big guy with hands and feet, you can do whatever you want and you won't starve!"
Zhou Mingjie didn't want to take him along anyway; the kid wasn't doing anything right and had a lot of ulterior motives.
He didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
No, that's not right either. Their relationship is something they can't seem to shake off for the rest of their lives.
After all, Yang Tianbao was his brother-in-law, his child's brother-in-law.
Zhou Mingjie scratched his head in frustration. What the hell is going on here?
"Brother-in-law, are you kidding me?"
I've asked around all over town, and the wages are ridiculously low. How can I possibly do that?
His meaning was clear: his brother-in-law had made a lot of money.
As the brother-in-law, it's not unreasonable for him to benefit from his success, right?
"What joke are you talking about? Everyone else can do it, so why can't you?"
Are you better looking than them, or more cultured?
"Does he really think he's some rich young master? It's already a miracle that they don't look down on him, yet he's still picking on them." Zhou Mingjie scoffed. This guy really has no self-awareness whatsoever.
They have nothing of their own, yet they have the nerve to complain about others' low wages.
Whether they even want you is another matter!
"Brother-in-law, my dear brother-in-law, I am your brother-in-law."
I'm getting married soon, and I haven't even raised enough money for the wedding gift yet.
You think I'll ever be able to scrape together this dowry if I just work in town?
"Please help me, for the sake of our brotherhood." Yang Tianbao followed him closely, determined to get him to give in today.
"Is your partner blind?" Zhou Mingjie looked him up and down and snorted coldly.
"Huh?" Yang Tianbao didn't understand what he meant at first.
"If you're not blind, why would you fall for such a wretched thing like you? I'm telling you, you didn't lie to her, did you?"
These words struck a chord with Yang Tianbao. Could he admit that he had indeed lied to them?
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Tian Xiaoya got the impression from all aspects that he was not short of money.
However, he absolutely dared not let him know about this.
If I had known, today's plans would have been ruined.
"Brother-in-law, what are you saying? We fell in love on our own, and my girlfriend said she likes me for who I am."
"Bullshit." Zhou Mingjie didn't even want to look at him. He only looked like a human being on the surface, but he lacked backbone inside.
How old are you? You do nothing productive all day long, just idle around, chasing cats and dogs, and talking nonsense.
You actually like him as a person?
Even if that girl isn't blind, she's probably not far from it.
"Brother-in-law, please take me with you and let me work with you. I promise I'll do my best and never cause you any trouble." He was practically raising his hand to swear an oath.
Zhou Mingjie's eyes lit up and he had an idea. "Then let me show you the way."
"Brother-in-law, tell me, tell me." Yang Tianbao was overjoyed; he knew he could benefit from his brother-in-law's fame.
"Isn't there a brick factory in our town?"
"I know someone there. I'll go and say hello to him, and you can go work for him." Zhou Mingjie had already made up his mind not to associate with him.
This kid has tricked him several times already; he should be more careful.
Upon hearing that it was a brick factory, Yang Tianbao's face immediately fell. He had thought it would be some kind of nice place!
"Brother-in-law, carrying bricks is so tiring, how could I endure that kind of hardship?"
He wasn't wrong. As his parents' youngest son, with many older brothers and sisters, he was always the one they doted on the most.
Therefore, he never suffered much hardship growing up.
Zhou Mingjie glanced at him sideways, "You want to make money but don't want to suffer? Who do you think you are?"
Does money just fall from the sky?
That brick factory pays by piecework; the more you work, the more you earn. As long as you're willing to work hard, you won't have to worry about making money.
"How much money can you make? Fifty or sixty yuan a month is the most you can earn, and you'll be working yourself to death." Yang Tianbao muttered under his breath.
If he really goes to the brick factory, how can that little money be enough for his girlfriend's expenses?
"I say, Yang Tianbao, isn't your appetite a bit too big?"
Is fifty or sixty yuan a month still not enough?
Many people rely on these few dozen yuan to support their families, so why is it less for you?
"He's a terrible person, but he's got a big mouth." Zhou Mingjie looked down on him even more.
A person who lacks ability but is unwilling to endure hardship will never amount to anything in their life.
"No, I won't go to the brick factory. It's too tiring there. I can't handle it."
"Brother-in-law, please let me work for you." Yang Tianbao was like a leech, sticking to me all the way, the kind you couldn't shake off.
"What can you do if you work for me?"
"Brother-in-law, I can do whatever you need. Besides, we're proper relatives. You'd trust me more than anyone else." Yang Tianbao was a smooth talker, and he was quite good at flattering people.
Seeing that Zhou Mingjie was still hesitant, he used his trump card, "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, my sister loves me the most."
She's pregnant, you don't want her to worry, right?
"Are you threatening me?" Zhou Mingjie's eyes held a hint of hostility.
It's been so many years since anyone threatened him, but unexpectedly, one has appeared today.
That's incredibly bold!
Seeing that he was really angry, Yang Tianbao waved his hands in a panic, "No, no, I was just saying that."
Brother-in-law, please take me with you. I promise I won't cause you any trouble.
"And if I'm doing well, my sister will be happy too. And when she's in a good mood, she'll help you have a few more big, healthy sons. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Alright, then you'll come with me to the county in a few days."
However, let me make this clear upfront: if you dare cause me trouble, I will absolutely not let you off the hook, and no amount of blaming anyone will help you then.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I promise I'll do a good job." Yang Tianbao's face lit up with a wide grin, his eyebrows and eyes almost squeezed together.
Yang Tianbao was overjoyed to receive his confirmation.
