Qiao Shanshan was taken aback by Dai Donglin's words. Qiao Shanshan might not have thought that way. She said these words to gain Dai Donglin's favor, to let Dai Donglin know that she was a good girl who was not vain and did not care about money, and to make Dai Donglin look at her with new eyes.
But Dai Donglin actually spoke up for a woman?
In her past life, when Qiao Shanshan married her instructor, he didn't want to give a dowry. When Qiao Shanshan compromised, he praised her for being sensible and obedient, saying that it was his good fortune to meet her in this life.
Don't men generally prefer women who are obedient and sensible, who don't cause trouble, and who don't ask for money?
How could Dai Donglin do this?
Seeing her surprised expression, Dai Donglin frowned and said:
"Regarding the bride price, it's something that both parties can discuss and agree upon. If your fiancé doesn't want to give you a bride price, and you're willing to forgo it, then you can reach an agreement. My wife isn't unreasonable, and I'm willing to give her what I have. I hope you won't judge others based on your own views."
“Brother Dai…” Qiao Shanshan tried to stop him, but Dai Donglin turned away. Before leaving, he said, “If it’s not a big deal, it’s best not to come looking for me.”
Qiao Shanshan's face turned pale. She wanted to say something, but she was frightened by Dai Donglin's aloof demeanor.
Qiao Shanshan walked home feeling lost and confused, when she ran into her instructor who was jogging downstairs.
"Qiao Shanshan?" the instructor called out.
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment. Meeting her husband from her previous life again, she felt a little complicated. Although the instructor had some minor flaws, he was still very good to her and took good care of Qiao Shanshan's younger sister. However, the problem was that the instructor's family background was not as good as Dai Donglin's.
Qiao Shanshan likes men like Dai Donglin.
He was tall and handsome, very considerate to his wife, and even helped her with her career. If she married Dai Donglin, she could live the life of Zhou Chuyu.
On one side is a high-ranking female entrepreneur, and on the other side is the instructor's wife. Even a fool would know which to choose.
"I went to find Brother Dai to bring him some mung bean soup to thank him for taking care of me all this time. But... it seems Brother Dai doesn't have time. If you don't mind, you can have this mung bean soup!"
The instructor laughed, "Sure, I'm thirsty right now, so I won't be polite. I'll bring you the insulated box later."
"No rush." Qiao Shanshan's smile was somewhat forced.
The instructor glanced at her. This girl was Qiao Zheng's younger sister. After Qiao Zheng's sacrifice, everyone in the unit took good care of her and wanted to arrange a job for her so that she could stay in the army and find work to help support her family.
This girl has studied nursing, so she'll most likely be assigned to the infirmary, where we'll see each other all the time.
The instructor smiled and said, "If you need any help in the future, and your brother Dai is busy, you can come to me. I have less work and am a bit less busy than him, so you don't have to worry about bothering me."
The young girl was quite sensitive in this unfamiliar place. Dai Donglin was never friendly to anyone, so she was bound to overthink things. The instructor thought it would be a good deed to help the martyr's sister.
Qiao Shanshan smiled gratefully, "Thank you."
The little girl had a very pretty smile. The instructor blushed slightly, scratched the back of his head, and chuckled:
"It's nothing, just a small favor. Besides, Qiao Zheng used to take good care of me. We're all comrades-in-arms. Given his current situation, it's my duty to take care of his family. You really don't need to be so polite with me."
Qiao Shanshan pushed open the courtyard gate, and Qiao Ru stepped forward, staring curiously in the direction of the instructor.
"Sis, who is that?"
"Instructor."
He was also Qiao Shanshan's lover in her previous life, but in this life, Qiao Shanshan no longer looks up to him. She will not marry the instructor, and she doesn't know who the instructor will marry.
However, none of these things are what Qiao Shanshan should care about. Her beloved is Dai Donglin, and only Dai Donglin is worthy of her!
Qiao Ru stared at the instructor, and said somewhat cryptically:
"This instructor is quite good-looking. Although he's not as good-looking as my brother, and he doesn't have thick eyebrows and big eyes, he's still quite handsome."
The instructor was indeed good, but he was far inferior to Dai Donglin.
He is no match for Dai Donglin at all.
Qiao Shanshan was completely focused on Dai Donglin and didn't pay attention to what her sister was saying. She just replied perfunctorily, "He's alright, but not as handsome as Dai Donglin."
Qiao Ru pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Is her sister stupid? Who doesn't know that Dai Donglin is handsome?"
But Dai Donglin comes from such a good family and is a favored son of heaven; there are quite a few women who have their eyes on him.
Not just anyone is worthy of Dai Donglin.
People also need to learn to recognize reality, right?
If you can't hook up with Dai Donglin, having a backup option is not bad. You can't go down one path to the end.
Ji Kai's residential complex is almost finished. Following Chu Yu's advice, he launched the sales ahead of schedule to recoup his investment.
The market in Nanhai has been doing well this year, with houses selling for just over a thousand yuan a month, but land prices are cheap.
Ji Kai proceeded steadily, acquiring land piece by piece and developing it one by one, quickly recovering funds after the opening and paying bank loans.
After all that coming and going, I actually made some money.
With the money he earns, Ji Kai will be able to pay off his debts to his relatives and the village.
He wanted to acquire another piece of land for development and wanted to ask Chu Yu's opinion.
Chu Yu naturally supported him. It was only 1989, and there were at least three more years for Ji Kai to make his fortune. Ji Kai was a steady person, and he would only dare to continue after making money. In this way, by making money by doubling land prices time and time again, he could easily have made a fortune of tens of millions before 1993.
These days, making tens of millions in a few years is already considered quite good. Ji Kaihai is young, and if he takes this ten million to develop real estate elsewhere, his future is limitless.
