Chapter 430. Reject her
Couples quarreled at the top of the bed and reconcile at the end of the bed. It wasn't a big deal after all.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Qing He's mood recovered the next day.
After breakfast, she went to give class.
Hu Zi and Gang Zi just got up. The clothing store opened at 8:30. Usually, there was no business in the morning. Only after ten o'clock, it start to pick up. The afternoon will be the most lively time.
Hu Zi and Gang Zi were going to head to the dumpling shop for breakfast after brushing their teeth.
However, they ran into Zhang Mei Lian before when they exited the door.
Gang Zi winked his eyes at his brother and left by himself. Hu Zi glanced at Zhang Mei Lian and said, "What's the matter?"
After the previous several days, it went without saying he knew Zhang Mei Lian's intention. She had said before she wanted to introduce him to a girl. But now he understood that she was talking about herself.
Zhang Mei Lian pouted her lips and smiled: "When are you free? Shall we go to the park for a walk?"
"No time." Hu Zi shook his head. He answered as he began to depart.
Zhang Mei Lian stopped him and looked at him aggrievedly as she said: "Why are you like this? I have invited you several times to watch movies and walk around. The last time you got a day off and I asked you to take me to hike the Great Wall. You didn't go either!"
She felt that she was close to her limit on persisting. This Hu Zi was really a stubborn blockhead but everyone she fancied had left and he was the only one remaining.
She thought it would be a good idea to enter a room with him and do the deed. However, this blockhead didn't have any intention from beginning to end.
Hu Zi glanced at her and said, "I never thought of marrying a girl from the capital."
Especially this girl who didn't seem to be easy to get along with. He didn't like the type that easily gets aggrieved and redden her eyes.
"But... but I like you." Zhang Mei Lian had a shy look on her face, while she snorted in her heart, at least you got some self-awareness!
"Why do you like me?" Hu Zi didn't get it. He wasn't the kind to be captivated when he sees a woman. He honestly said: "My family is very poor. I still have younger brothers and sisters at home. My parents are farmers. I have a rural household registration."
When he came here, he clearly saw how many people in the city looked down on the rural household registration. So Hu Zi didn't even plan to marry a girl from here.
Of course, if there was a good girl who was willing to marry him, then he will be grateful to her for the rest of his life. He will treat her well for the rest of his life. But that girl must be the type he likes.
Zhang Mei Lian wasn't the type he likes. Especially when he had asked Zhou Xuan about their neighbor Zhang Family because she invited him to the movies several times.
Zhou Xuan knew about old Zhang Family's mess, but he didn't know about Zhang Mei Lian chasing after him. Because she had always avoided people. It was impossible for a grown lad like him to bring up Zhang Mei Lian and Zhang Mei He's matters.
When Hu Zi asked, Zhou Xuan answered that the character of old Zhang family wasn't good.
Because of their poor character, his uncle and aunt only interacted with old Ma Family even if Zhang Family were their neighbors too.
Therefore, Hu Zi didn't think much at all. After all, Zhang Mei Lian wasn't the type he liked.
Hu Zi's attitude of refusal was already obvious. Unexpectedly, Zhang Mei Lian acted like she didn't notice. So Hu Zi was puzzled.
A girl from the capital, what did she like about him?
"I don't care about those." However, Zhang Mei Lian internally said, 'Still hiding it from me. Xu Sheng Mei told me that your family isn't poor in the countryside'.
Hu Zi frowned and said nothing.
"I like your practicality and hardworking-ness. And you are loyal and honest." Zhang Mei Lian raised her face to look at him.
In fact, the most important thing was that Xu Sheng Mei said that in the future, his aunt will let him go out and do it alone. Otherwise, she would have given up long ago.
He really can't get the hint. She had been so proactive. He should take her home to drink a glass of water or something while there was no one at home. Then she'll use some tricks and give her body to him. And it'll be done deal? So simple.
But who would have thought, he didn't have such intentions?
"We aren't compatible." Hu Zi shook his head and said. His cousin, Xu Sheng Mei had made his aunt not too long ago. If he were to call the shots without authorization, she would be completely disappointed.
Thinking of this, he directly looked at Zhang Mei Lian and stated, "Don't find me anymore."
This time, he made his stance clear enough. Hu Zi finished speaking and left. Even if he were to marry a girl from the capital, it must be someone his aunt found and introduced him.
He won't make the decision without authorization. His aunt's eyes were really good. After the incident with cousin Xu Sheng Mei, his aunt had been preaching to their ears.
Hu Zi headed to the dumpling shop to eat dumplings, leaving Zhang Mei Lian stifled in anger.
The poor boy from the countryside was definitely a poor boy from the countryside. He didn't know how to reap in benefit when he sees it. She was like this and he was still indifferent and rejected her!
Zhang Mei Lian was so angry that her chest was blocked.
She turned around and left. Aunt Ma on the third floor frowningly watched. Why did Hu Zi talk to Zhang Mei Lian for so long?
Aunt Ma was very optimistic about Hu Zi and the others lads. They were energetic and frank. They didn't mind the trivial matters. Which old ladies wouldn't like this kind of young man when they see them?
And she knew exactly what kind of girl this old Zhang family's daughter was.
So when she was done with the cooking at home, she came to work. Only Zhou Qing Bai remained at the dumpling shop. She told Zhou Qing Bai about it.
"The two stood there and talked for a long time this morning. Don't know what they talked about. That reputation of Zhang Mei Lian isn't good. It's better to tell Hu Zi to stay away from her." Aunt Ma advised.
"Why did Hu Zi talk to her?" Zhou Qing Bai also frowned.
Zhou Qing Bai knew old Zhang Family's two daughters' reputation.
"Young lads. Which one doesn't want to chat with a girl?" Aunt Ma wasn't surprised about this. As she spoke, she washed the dishes: "It's just, Zhang Mei Lian won't do. She had aborted before. Wouldn't Hu Zi suffer if he marries her?"
"It's no big deal. Just occasionally encountering." Zhou Qing Bai responded.
"No big deal? From Zhang Mei Lian's behavior, I think she might have intentions toward Hu Zi. You have to watch out. If you become in-laws with old Zhang family, there will be endless trouble." Aunt Ma warned.
How many years had they been neighbors? Wh in this area didn't know what kind of piss old Zhang Family was? Whoever became in-laws with them was unlucky.
"En. When his aunt comes back, I will tell her." Zhou Qing Bai nodded.
Zhou Qing Bai obviously didn't want his nephew to have anything to do with old Zhang Family. Lin Qing He had no more class at 11 o'clock, so she came back first. She headed to the dumpling shop to look for her old man.
He was already in his forties and still won't stop messing around last night. What's more, he woke up so early in the morning. He looked so energetic. Don't know where got the energy.
Ahem... being 40s now is not old. Actually life is better in most ways,including the night life *cough, cough*
ReplyDeleteThat way aunt Ma replied was a bit off putting though it's like spelling Hu Zi to doom again
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Hu Zi can't catch a break. Well, at least he wasn't so dense as to remain ignorant.
ReplyDeleteHu Zi is Woke
ReplyDeleteWow, just like that and LQH let ZQB like that? I mean, he practically promoted his nephew's presence without knowing the real situation. Oh, blood relation. If I were her, I'll ignore him for months or weeks. Men, should teach them a lesson.
