Fu Dongjun thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Her name is... Shu Lan."
"Shulan?" Deng Fangping then realized that the man was Fu Dongjun. She had only heard that Shulan had such a boyfriend, but she had never officially met Fu Dongjun and had no idea that he looked like this.
"Auntie, have you heard of Shulan?"
Deng Fangping snapped out of her daze and gave a forced smile. "Never heard of her. Maybe the name and appearance match. You're dating someone and you don't even know which house your girlfriend lives in?"
"We haven't been dating for very long, have we? I know she lives here. Last time I took her home, she got off the bus nearby, and I followed her for a few steps before noticing she was heading down this alley. To be honest, I'm serious about her, but there are a lot of girls who aren't serious these days. I'm just worried she might lie to me, fabricate her family background, or lie to me that she's married but isn't."
Fu Dongjun smiled somewhat awkwardly. It was indeed dishonest of him to be following Shu Lan, but there was nothing he could do. Shu Lan was so secretive, always avoiding him and never bringing him home.
When Fu Dongjun asked her about her family situation, she always said that her parents were farmers in the countryside, with no money, no education, and no pension. She also said that she had a younger brother and sister, that her parents were a burden, and that her job was unstable.
Fu Dongjun was attracted to Shulan's looks. Although Shulan's job was not good and unstable and not a good match for him, Shulan earned a lot of money. Fu Dongjun thought that after the two of them got married, if Shulan was willing to hand over her income to him for safekeeping, he would not care about Shulan's lack of respectability.
Fu Dongjun values money and wants to find a girl who is wealthy and from a good family. Shulan doesn't quite meet his standards, so he wants to find out more about her family situation.
Deng Fangping immediately knew what bad ideas Fu Dongjun was up to. She said that Shulan's boyfriend was a scoundrel with many tricks up his sleeve and that he didn't need to be sincere with Shulan at all.
Deng Fangping is no pushover. During the Chinese New Year, when people come to her door to inquire about her situation, she has to have a good chat with them, right?
Deng Fangping, holding a spatula, deliberately closed the door. "Auntie thought about it, and there seems to be a girl named Shulan in our row. Long hair, big eyes, tall and thin, and she likes to dress up. Is she the one you're talking about?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Auntie, that's Shulan. She's quite beautiful. If she lived here, you'd definitely know her. She and her sister run a clothing store. They have a lot of clothes, so she's never short of clothes. She changes her clothes every day and is very particular about them. But I just don't know what her family situation is like. You see, my family is quite well-off. I work in procurement at a state-owned enterprise in Beijing. With my qualifications, what kind of girl can't I find? My family is worried that I'll be deceived and dragged down by this young lady's family, so they told me to find out more about her."
Fu Dongjun's eyes were sincere, and his smile was gentle, which almost made Deng Fangping want to vomit!
Finding out about the family situation was fine, but Fu Dongjun's scheming was too obvious.
Deng Fangping smiled and said, "That must be this little girl! To be honest, everyone in our generation has a deep impression of her!"
"Huh? Auntie, what do you mean? What did Shulan do that left a deep impression on you?"
"I wouldn't say I'm particularly impressed, but Shulan's parents are definitely farmers from the countryside. Their faces are wrinkled, they look like old farmers. They have a heavy burden on their family, with a younger brother and sister in school who need her to send money home to support them. If you marry her, you'll inevitably have to support her family. Young man, I think you're quite good-looking, you need to think carefully. If you end up with a girl like this, you'll have to support her family. You're so handsome, tall and strong! You can find any girl you want, why are you so determined to fight her to the death?"
Deng Fangping's words enlightened Fu Dongjun. He had always felt that Shulan was not good enough for him, and now that he heard it, he was right.
Shulan is beautiful and independent, unlike other girls, and Fu Dongjun is reluctant to break up with her.
"Auntie, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course! Just a few days ago, her parents came to Beijing and said that the harvest was bad and they didn't have money to build a house for her younger brother to get married and find a partner. They asked her to give them all the money she had earned. It's a pity that this young girl had finally managed to save some money, and it all went to her family. Do you think she'll have any money to support your new family after you two get married?"
"But she earns a lot."
"No matter how much you earn, it's not enough to support your families. Why should you good men have to go through this? Listen to your aunt, find someone else to date, don't get involved with girls like this! Your aunt thinks you're quite handsome, and I happen to have a few good options: the factory director's daughter, the stationmaster's daughter, a kid from a high-ranking family, and even college graduates with guaranteed job placements! Tell your aunt what kind you want, and I'll introduce you to someone right now!"
Fu Dongjun was surprised by the aunt's enthusiasm. Hearing that she had so many resources, Fu Dongjun was overjoyed and repeatedly said:
"Auntie, thank you so much! I wonder how I can contact you!"
Deng Fangping gave him a phone number, "Call this number later, you're sure to find your aunt. I have all kinds of girls, and I can introduce you to the right one every time! I guarantee you'll marry a beautiful local wife, someone with good looks, a good family background, and a good income! Isn't that better than you finding that out-of-town girl, Shulan?"
Deng Fangping's words gave Fu Dongjun endless motivation.
"Okay, Auntie, I'll definitely call you later!"
"Good boy, handsome guy! You can't be two-timing with that factory director's daughter, that kid from the compound. You need to break up with that Shulan girl right away. Only after you break up can you date someone else in peace, right? You can't make your auntie feel awkward!"
