Zhang Weifang thought about it carefully. Li Hongru was her third red line. As of now, only his conditions were suitable.
Since he was willing to date her, Zhang Weifang decided to give it a try, but she made it clear:
"Li Hongru, since you came to me, I believe in your sincerity. Let's try it out first!"
"Really? Don't worry, just tell me if there's anything I did wrong and I'll change it." Li Hongru was really happy this time, with a smile on his face and a raised corner of his mouth.
"Well, but I hope that if we're still not suitable after getting along, we can just part ways peacefully. I don't like dragging it out or having lingering ties."
"Okay, me too, but I think we're a good match."
Zhang Weifang looked at the handsome face in front of her and felt comforted. No matter what, she was still very satisfied with this face.
Since she had decided to date, Zhang Weifang was not polite and stated her requirements:
"Li Hongru, I think the most important thing for two people to be together is loyalty and devotion. I don't care about your past, but now that you have chosen me, I hope there is no one else in your heart, nor those so-called white roses and red roses."
Li Hongru knew that his previous actions made her worried, but now was not a good time, so he did not explain for the time being.
"Don't worry, I promise that everything in the past will not become an obstacle between us. I am not the kind of person who is fickle."
"Okay, let's try it first?" After finishing the business, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Half an hour later, the parents had almost finished chatting, and Li Hongru and his friends chose to leave. Zhang Jiuyun wanted to stay for dinner, but the two brothers refused.
These days, every family has a hard time, and how can two grown men just eat at someone else's house?
"Weifang, I'll come see you next week when I'm off." Li Hongru said as he walked out.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
After the guests left, everyone in the Zhang family held a meeting. Zhang Jiuyun first expressed his opinion:
"Weifang, I think Li Hongru is pretty good. Although he doesn't look that strong, he's an educated man with a salary, so he can support you."
"Weifang, think for yourself. It's good for a young man to have a salary, but I don't know if he will let you keep the money after you get married." Zhang Qiao Na is a woman, and she still hopes that her daughter can keep the money in her hands.
"Yes, big sister, it's useless for a man to be good-looking. Look at his white skin. It's obvious that he is not cut out for work. Will you be asked to do all the work after you marry him?"
Zhang Weishuang actually had average feelings towards Li Hongru. She thought a man should be tall and strong, and she was afraid that her elder sister would suffer if she married him.
"Second sister, what do you know? A man relies on his ability. Li Hongru can earn more than 30 yuan now, and his salary will increase in the future. I think he is very suitable for you, eldest sister."
Zhang Weiren has always been smart. He thinks Li Hongru has the best conditions at the moment. Does he want his eldest sister to marry a villager, working hard in the fields every day and earning less than 100 yuan a year?
After all, his elder sister graduated from high school and will have a job in the future, so she must choose a good partner.
Besides, Zhang Weifang has never been to the fields. If she really marries a farmer, it would be a suffering.
The other kids didn’t know whether it was a good thing or not, but when they saw that Li Hongru had a bicycle and a watch, they all expressed their support.
"Let's try getting along first and deal with the rest later." Zhang Weifang concluded.
After dinner, the Yue Lao system came back online and said excitedly:
"Host, today you have confirmed your relationship, and your compatibility has reached 60. Your happiness level is not yet visible."
"Oh, that's fine. Is my mission accomplished then?"
"How is that possible? You two have to at least get engaged for the mission to be complete."
"Okay, I understand."
After leaving Shuanglong Village, Li Hongxi and Li Hongru rode their bicycles directly back to Beiguan Village. Li Guifang and Ma Shulan were very happy to see their two sons come back, and made them cucumber shredded cold noodles for lunch.
"Mom and Dad, I'm dating someone." Li Hongru said straight to the point right after finishing his meal.
"Ah? So soon? Who is she?" Ma Shulan immediately became excited when she heard that her son had a girlfriend.
"My second brother introduced her to me. She's from Shuanglong Village in Lizhuang Commune. She's 18 years old and just graduated from high school."
"Hey, third brother, this girl doesn't have a job, right?" Li Gaitang came over and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Not yet." Li Hongru really couldn't stand his sister-in-law, but he had to give her the okay for the sake of face.
"Tsk, I told you, the third brother just looks down on our family. My sister may not be educated, but she's a good handyman around the house. But this high school graduate doesn't have a job, and he probably can't do housework either, right?!"
Li Gaitang's words caused ripples in the hearts of Li's parents. They certainly didn't want their son to marry a girl who didn't know how to do housework, because that would become a burden to their son in the future.
Seeing the changes in his parents, Li Hongru said firmly:
"Mom and Dad, I'm not looking for a partner just to work. I'm very satisfied with the girl I'm with now. I hope you don't object."
After hearing what their youngest son said, Mr. and Mrs. Li felt even more uncomfortable. Their son's heart was already outgoing even before he got married. If he really got married, who knew what would happen in the future?
Thinking of this, Li Guifang was very angry, and it showed on his face unconsciously:
"Third brother, you need to consider many aspects when looking for a partner. It's okay if you can't do housework. You can learn it slowly in the future. Your mother and I can still help you for a few more years."
"Dad, it's too early to talk about marriage. Let's talk about it later."
After Li Hongru finished speaking, he left with his second brother. Anyway, he just came to inform them. As long as he was willing, other people's opinions were not important.
Li Hongxi has always been smart. He didn't say anything today because he couldn't offend either side. After all, it wasn't him who was getting married, so he didn't worry about it.
Li Hongxi lived a good life. After getting married, Cui Xiaojuan gave her original job to her sister-in-law, and then exchanged it for Li Hongxi's current job and the small courtyard where they live now.
After marriage, Cui Xiaojuan never worked and took care of the family. She gave birth to a son and a daughter for him and treated him very well. He was very satisfied.
Moreover, Li Hongxi will be able to become a regular employee next year, and his salary will then increase to 45 yuan, which is higher than the salary of ordinary companies, but it is also very hard work.
Li Hongru returned the bicycle to the factory office and went back to the dormitory. The dormitory was noisy and filled with the pungent smell of smoke and sweat. He was actually not used to it.
His elder brother and sister-in-law are at home, and he doesn't want to go back. Now that he has a partner, it seems he has to find a house as soon as possible. He doesn't want to live with his elder brother and sister-in-law after marriage, as it will cause too much trouble.
