As my aunt was talking, she didn't know what to say.
She sighed, "You know, even if I don't like that girl named Lili, she knows that marriage is not something that can be achieved with just words. It's nothing to expect to have a house before marriage. My husband and I were planning to use our money to buy a house for Leilei."
What made her angry was Wu Lei's immature thinking.
One is that he has no ability but still wants to act like a big shot - doesn't he know what his family's conditions are? He should have known long ago that he couldn't afford a house in Ningcheng!
If she really wanted to live a good life with Lili, she could choose to return to her hometown. As far as she knew, Lili's hometown was not Ningcheng.
Second, people are irresponsible and have no sense of responsibility.
First they want the full payment, and if that's not possible, they want a down payment. They don't consider at all how they and their parents will live after paying the down payment.
Let's take a step back and say that even if you really love Lili, how would you arrange a wedding for her? How much would it cost? How much would you give as a betrothal gift... Do you have a plan in mind
He has nothing but to put pressure on the elderly in the family... If he is not made to wake up, it will be a waste of raising this son.
But Wu Lei could not appreciate his aunt's painstaking efforts.
He just didn't want to bow down for these few pieces of silver.
After all, in his opinion, just buy a house, why make such an outrageous request
It is so difficult for college students to find jobs now! He finally got a stable job, but now he has to quit and go back to the countryside to do farm work for a year, earning two to three thousand a month... Oh, waiters now earn three thousand a month!
He didn't think about whether he could do the farm work by himself, but he thought that Lili's career was at a low point. If he was not here to accompany her, how could she, a weak and helpless little girl, get through it
What's more, I'm working for Song Tan—
It's not that he said that Song Tan's cousin was too awesome. Wasn't it because of her family that Lili's career suffered a setback last time
All these reasons made him unwilling to give in to his aunt.
"Mom, your request is totally unreasonable. Look at other people, including those in our village. Who doesn't make money for their children to start a family and a career?"
"Buying a house is a good thing, but you can't ask me to quit my job because of this."
What he didn't say was that other families were eager to borrow money to buy a house for their sons, but his mother, on the other hand, not only didn't mention the loan, she also refused to give the money she already had...
Really.
He knew that the money he asked for was a little too much, but the housing prices in Ningcheng would not fall. What could he do
What's more, my sister Wu Ling is still in college and will be able to work soon. It won't cost much money, so there is no need to be so restrained, right
but.
No matter how wonderful his reasons were, my aunt insisted: "If you want a house, go and work at your aunt's house for a year and listen to Tan Tan. When you go, I will give you the down payment in the second year."
"If you don't want to go, then you can slowly work hard. Some families spend all their money for their sons, while others don't give them a penny. My mother and I are capable of both. You decide for yourself."
Wu Lei really had no other choice.
He really didn't want to go back to that small mountain village, and he really wanted to work hard with Lili.
However, when I told Zhu Li this, she wiped her tears and said softly, "Leilei, why don't you just listen to me?"
"My aunt has always been dissatisfied with me and wanted to separate us. If you insist on making trouble with me... You said, I am not after your house. Your family did not put my name on the house... I just want to stay in a big city. The medical and educational conditions are so good. I am also considering my future... My aunt doesn't like me. This is a misunderstanding..."
"If you don't want to go back, we will... later... Leilei, marriage is a matter between two families..."
She burst into tears.
After Zhu Li's earnest persuasion, Wu Lei finally nodded with a heavy face, and then set out on the journey back home with a tragic mood.
…
At this moment, Song Tan was driving her pickup truck, with straw and watermelons piled in the truck bed, preparing to attend the class reunion with full of anticipation.
The farmhouse restaurant we agreed to meet was called Lizhai Restaurant, which was rebuilt from a manor in the suburbs of Yuncheng and had a lot of investment. Therefore, everyone went there early when they heard that there were mountains, water and farmland there.
But for Song Tan, this thing was everywhere in her hometown and was not really rare, so she waited until after 4 o'clock before driving there.
When I got there, I took a look—good!
The class monitor said that there were more than 20 classmates and less than 10 family members with them, and she was looking forward to how many clients these 30 people could develop for her.
Unexpectedly, the 10 extra family members were almost all children. The oldest was 5 years old and the youngest was only 1 and a half years old...
Song Tan: …
Then calculate her own age - she is 23 this year. Even if her classmates are not the same age, they are only one or two years older than her at most. This marriage is quite positive!
When they saw her coming, all the students present shouted in surprise:
"Song Tan?! Oh my God, Song Tan, why do you look so good now?"
"Wow! I thought you were pretty when you were in school, but I didn't expect you to be so pretty now..."
"Song Tan, your skin is so good, what skin care products do you usually use?"
"Wu Qianqian said that you are selling vegetables at home now. Is your skin grown from the vegetables at home? The pollution-free, pure green ones?"
"Song Tan, Song Tan, do you have a boyfriend? I have a cousin who is pretty good..."
Everyone gathered around, talking at once, with all kinds of enthusiasm, it was very lively.
In fact, after so many years, Song Tan can no longer remember the names of his high school classmates.
Fortunately, there are notes and some avatars in the class group. Now I rely on my memory to match them one by one.
If you really can't recognize someone, just smile and take out your phone to ask. People won't mind.
The female students are like this, and the male students are even crazier.
At this moment, she kept lamenting: "You are so beautiful! I am so embarrassed to say that we can have some contact..."
Song Tan also smiled generously: "It's okay to have some contact. My standard for choosing a boyfriend is very simple, that is, he must be efficient at work."
"If you really want to, why don't you go home and help me harvest rice so I can observe?"
The male classmate looked at her resentfully: "After harvesting the rice, do we still have to pick peanuts and break corn?"
All the jokes on the Internet are written like this. I didn’t expect Song Tan to be so mischievous.
Song Tan: Actually what she said is true, hahaha.
But in this way, the barriers between everyone disappeared.
Then she looked at the fair-skinned, cutely dressed toddlers in the arms of her classmates, who smiled sweetly at her and made "Aba Aba" sounds. Song Tan couldn't help but smile back, making the little kids giggle even more excitedly.
The female classmates were extremely envious: "Being good-looking is a privilege. Look how much this kid likes you!"
But Song Tan knew it very well—what the other person liked was not his face.
