"That's him." Xue Xiang took the newspaper. When he saw that the entire page was about the man in the middle, he was stunned. A look of dejection filled his body. He had been hoping that Nan Qiao was just playing with him because he was good-looking. He didn't expect that he was actually her husband.
Xue Xiang didn't want to admit it, but he saw it with his own eyes and couldn't deny it. The two of them were really a good match.
"You've also seen what the newspaper wrote. The boss of Chaoyang is not an ordinary person. You want to steal his girl, let alone whether you can do it. If he finds out, have you thought about the consequences?" Li Degang is also a well-off man, otherwise he wouldn't be 30 and still have no wife. But he just drinks and chats, teases a girl or something, he doesn't have the courage to offend such a big shot.
"But..." Xue Xiang didn't fight against Sheng Yanchuan, but he couldn't accept it when he thought of Nanqiao's face. He felt that his conditions were not as good as Sheng Yanchuan's, and his appearance was not much worse than his. Why could Sheng Yanchuan do it but Xue Xiang couldn't?
"Besides, we can't even meet such a rich lady by chance. Even if you want to make a move, you need a place," Li Degang said self-deprecatingly after taking a sip of wine. They are only glamorous in the eyes of the villagers. In fact, they work hard in the factory all day long, and the money they earn is just enough to keep themselves from starving or freezing. Especially in the past few years, the consumption in Shanghai has skyrocketed. People like them are the bottom of Shanghai. Look at all the houses you can see, and the Xue family's house that is not big enough to live in. Which one of them was not taken away by the factory at any time.
Sometimes it is not as comfortable as having one's own house like the villagers.
"Yeah, so I have to think of a way," Xue Xiang said in a dark tone. Didn't Sheng Yanchuan find someone to threaten him? Then he would avoid Sheng Yanchuan. As long as he could take down Nanqiao, with Nanqiao's family background, Sheng Yanchuan would not be able to touch him. By then, it was hard to say who would threaten whom.
"Are you really going to do this? No matter how pretty she is, she's already married. If you really want to get married, wouldn't it be better to marry a virgin? She can't be this pretty, right?" Li Degang couldn't understand what Xue Xiang was thinking. Everyone wanted their wife to be innocent, but he was the one who went out of his way to find a married woman...
"You don't understand," Xue Xiang shook his head.
"Yes, yes, I don't understand, but you do." Nanqiao rarely appears in public, and Sheng Yanchuan is the one who basically does the newspaper advertisements, so Li Degang really can't understand what kind of girl can attract Xue Xiang like this.
"Are you going to drink or not? If not, go home and sleep. It's so late and you have to go to work tomorrow." Li Degang saw him shaking a wine glass, and the wine was not reduced at all.
"Drink it, why not?" Xue Xiang picked up the cup and suddenly remembered something, "Do you think it's okay for me to let my sister go to Fusheng for an interview?"
"Your sister barely graduated from high school, so she shouldn't be able to do it..." Li Degang didn't know what the recruitment conditions were for Fusheng, but for someone like Xue Xiang's sister, who was incompetent at everything and ate everything she had, it was a rare thing for her to be admitted to Fusheng.
"What's wrong with graduating from high school? There are only a few college students nowadays. Could it be that Fu Sheng only recruits college graduates? Let her try tomorrow. Please ask for a leave for me tomorrow and I will go with her." If it weren't for his job to earn money to support his family, Xue Xiang would have wanted to try it himself. If he could get into Fu Sheng, then there would be nothing to worry about.
"Why don't you ask around first? Besides, your sister hasn't done anything since she graduated. If you ask her to go to work now, will she go?"
"You have to go even if you don't want to," Xue Xiang said with a dark face. Speaking of which, his family is really terrible. There are five people in the family. Only he and his father work. His mother can take care of the family at home. It would be fine if she didn't work, but the two siblings have done nothing since graduating from high school. They either sleep at home and read novels all day or go out and joke around with their so-called good friends. They do nothing but ask for money from their family all day long.
His younger sister is a girl, so if she doesn't want to work, then he can just support her. After all, she is a girl and will get married in a few years. But what about his younger brother? Will he and his parents still have to support him after he gets married and has children? He got angry with his parents for this matter, but his parents were weak and said they would discipline him, but they never did anything. This time, for himself and his family, he had to let his younger sister go to the floating life no matter what.
The two drank for a long time. Li Degang analyzed the inappropriateness of this matter to Xue Xiang, but Xue Xiang didn't listen to a word. Instead, Li Degang persuaded him. Xue Xiang thought about his own thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more determined he became.
After three rounds of drinking, he finished the half bottle of liquor and the bottle from Li Degang's house. He then staggered home and fell asleep on the bed, mumbling something. Not only did he stink of alcohol, but he also snored loudly, which made all the brothers in the room very angry.
The next morning, Xue Xiang was awakened by the sunlight. He rubbed his aching eyebrows and opened his eyes to see his brother sitting in front of him with a face full of bitterness and hatred.
"What are you doing?" Xue Xiang sat up from the bed with a hoarse voice, took the water cup on the bedside and drank a sip of water to moisten his throat. Then he felt better.
"Brother, don't drink so much in the future. It's smelly and noisy." Xue Wei, Xue Xiang's younger brother, complained to him with a bitter face. Although his brother and father used to drink, they were rarely drunk like that. He even thought it was a rare thing that his brother could find his way home yesterday.
"Leave me alone. Where's Xue Mei?" Xue Xiang asked, rubbing his brows. Thinking about what he had planned last night, he had to catch Xue Mei before she went out. Otherwise, he wouldn't know when she would come back.
