âWhy are you trying to wash your car? Donât make a scene.â
âLook at you. Iâm talking about serious matters. Why are you making a fuss?â Lin Yi said.
âItâs not like I wonât pay, yet you wonât let me clean my car.â
Lin Yi didnât want to ask too much about Wu Feiyueâs private life. After all, he was his big brother, and he didnât have the right to probe.
However, his helpless mother sent him WeChat messages every day to ask him about this.
Initially, Lin Yi didnât want to take this job, but if he didnât, he would be scolded.
He had no choice.
âThere are so many places where you can get your car washed. Why do you have to go to her place?â
âDonât I get to decide where 1 wash my car?â Lin Yi stood up and said.
âIâll go over and take a look. No one can stop me today.â
âGo ahead. You donât know where it is anyway.â
âBut 1 know where you work. Iâll go through all the nearby car washes. 1 donât believe I wonât be able to find it.â
âHey, hey, hey, when did you become so nosy?â
âHow can this be called nosy? Canât I visit my future sister-in-law?â
Seeing Lin Yi put on his clothes and walk out, Wu Feiyue had no choice but to follow.
After leaving, Wu Feiyue got into the car first. Lin Yi went to a nearby liquor store and bought two bottles of Maotai and two bottles of Zhonghua cigarettes as a greeting gift.
According to Wang Cuiping, marriage was not a matter between two people. It was a matter between two families. Their success also depended on what the other partyâs parents were like. If they were sh*t stirrers who constantly caused trouble for the couple, their lives would not be happy.
Therefore, Lin Yi had to meet them today.
âThings are not even set in stone yet. Tell me, why are you in such a hurry?â Wu Feiyue said after getting into the car.
âIf Ning Yue said that itâs not official, I would have believed her, but your words carry no weight,â Lin Yi said with a smile.
âThe fact that you also said this makes me realize that you two are really quite similar.â
With that, Lin Yi checked the address on his phone and drove over.
Yangcheng Xinglong Timber Factory was located on the edge of the city.
The entire factory area measured about 2,000 square meters. It was considered a good size in Yangcheng.
Although it was already past nine oâclock, the factory was still brightly lit.
Large trucks went in and out. After being loaded, the goods were distributed nationwide.
Wu Feiyueâs business was to pick up goods here and deliver them to the buyer.
Because the higher-ups had specially introduced him, the factory manager took good care of him and gave him some big jobs. Even when the market was not good, he could earn eight to nine thousand yuan a month, adding to about 100,000 yuan a year. It was considered a good deal.
The Jinsheng Automobile Company was located at the entrance of the lumber factory, located about 50 meters to the right of the factory.
Although it was already past nine oâclock, the shop did not close, just like the lumber yard. Usually, it would only close at eleven oâclock every day.
A family of three was sitting around the dining table eating at the entrance of the car dealership.
The dishes were very light. They had stir-fried a cabbage and stewed a fish soup. The main dish were steamed buns.
Beside the middle-aged couple sat a young woman who looked to be in her thirties. She was not tall and had short hair. However, she was not ugly and had a little baby fat on her face. She ate each mouthful slowly, making her appear tidy and graceful.
The womanâs name was Sun Lili, and she was Wu Feiyueâs new girlfriend.
âDaughter, I see that youâve been quite close to that truck driver recently. Are the two of you hiding something from me?â
The person who spoke was Sun Liliâs mother, Ma Xiujuan. Her hair was already white at the temples, and she was old.
Sun Lili was stunned and said casually,
âThereâs nothing going on between us.â
âI see that heâs been coming to wash his cars recently. Every time, the two of you are chatting and laughing. Sometimes, youâre not at home during the day. Are you dating him?â
Sun Lili rolled her eyes.
âMom, what do you think of him?â
âHeâs quite good. Heâs simple and honest. One look and you can tell that heâs an honest person.â
âThen you have no objections.â
âHow can 1 have no objections?â Ma Xiujuan said.
âSince youâre looking, you should take your time and see if you can find someone with a house.â
âYou guys should take a look at yourselves. With my situation, who with a house would be interested in me?â Sun Lili said.
âBesides, our family is in the car wash business. Marrying into those well-off families with houses would be a mismatch. If 1 did, wouldnât I just be miserable?â
âI understand this reasoning, but your father and I have been struggling all our lives. I donât want you to end up like us. If you find someone with slightly better conditions, youâll have an easier life in the future,â her mother replied.
Ma Xiujuan was not a materialistic person, but love was selfish.
Naturally, he hoped that his daughter could find a good family and live a good life. This was understandable.
âIn reality, he previously had a chance to make a fortune, but he didnât take it. He wanted to make money with his own hands,â Sun Lili said.
âThatâs what I like about him.â
âHmm? What opportunity to make a fortune?â
âHe has a younger brother whoâs always in Zhonghai. I heard that heâs quite rich.â
âIf one day, our lives are not going well, we should be able to get help from his younger brother.â
âReally? How rich?â
âHe didnât talk about this in detail, so I didnât pay much attention to it,â Sun Lili muttered.
âI heard that heâs quite rich. He drives a sports car in Zhonghai and lives in a villa. Itâs not something ordinary people like us can compare to.â
âThe fact that he lives in a villa is amazing.â
âEvery time his brother is mentioned, he gets quite proud. He must be doing well.â Sun Lili said.
âBut if the two of us are together, we can work hard as well. Our days wonât be bad either. Donât worry.â
Ma Xiujuan nodded. Although Wu Feiyue was a little poor, he was an honest person. If her daughter followed this man, she probably wouldnât suffer.
âOld Ma, as a mother, you have to be more careful. Be careful Lili is not tricked.â
The person who spoke was also a middle-aged woman. She was sitting at the entrance of a nearby restaurant, washing dishes.
âHow could I get tricked?â
âThink about it. If that kid called Wu Feiyueâs younger brother is really that rich, why would he need to haul lumber and drive around?â
The womanâs name was Zhang Hongxia, and she was the lady boss of the restaurant.
For a long time, she had wanted to matchmake her son with Sun Lili, but she had never succeeded.
Moreover, during this period, Sun Lili had been very close to Wu Feiyue. She had secretly paid attention and learned some information about Wu Feiyue.
âHe has his own two hands and feet. Why would he need someone elseâs help?â Sun Lili said.
âThatâs his younger brother. Heâs not an outsider nor some mythical being.â Zhang Hongxia said.
âI think heâs probably fooling you. You have to be careful not to fall for it. Marriage is a lifetime deal. You have to find someone who can properly take care of you. 1 donât think that kid can do it. Heâs glib-tongued. He might even domestically abuse you in the future..â
