Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Monkey Tricks
“Brother, I’m just worried about you,” Mr. Qiu Ye said that he will only agree to your marriage with Sister Qiu Ye after you become a teacher in the county.
Don’t you want to marry Sister Qiu Ye soon, even if it’s not just about proving a point? Don’t you want her to have a better life?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Shengcai quickly shook his head. Having such a good girl like Qiu Ye agree to be with him was his fortune, and he definitely wouldn’t let her down.
Xu Ying saw he was taking her words to heart and continued, “I heard that the commune really has a quota for becoming a teacher in the county, but it’s very rare.
Now with such an outstanding Mr. Sun here, Brother, it’s going to be even tougher for you. You have to surpass Mr. Chen, only then will you have a chance to get into the county.” Xu Ying looked genuinely sympathetic toward Xu Shengcai.
This also managed to ignite Xu Shengcai’s competitive spirit.
...
“Little sister, I will definitely work hard,” Xu Shengcai said, clenching his fists with a resolute expression.
That very night, he returned to his room and studied intensely.
Mrs. Xu got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, saw the light on in Xu Shengcai’s room, and ran over to scold him for half an hour, “You damned kid, why aren’t you asleep at this late hour?
Do you think electricity is free? Do you think the little money you earn can do everything? Doesn’t marrying a wife cost money too...”
Hearing his mother’s scolding, Xu Shengcai reluctantly turned off the light and went to sleep.
The next morning, he got up early.
He dressed up carefully, and standing in front of the water tank, he looked at his handsome reflection and was quite pleased.
“Little sister, let me give you a ride to work today.”
“Are you off today?” Xu Ying asked.
Xu Shengcai smiled and nodded his head. He hadn’t seen Qiu Ye for almost half a month and was already missing her.
Ah, the smell of being in love, “Brother, then hurry up, I need to leave soon.”
Hearing this, Xu Shengcai quickly ran to the yard to get the cart ready.
Once they left the yard, Xu Shengcai looked pleasingly at his sister, “Little sister, I’m taking Qiu Ye to your place for lunch, can you serve extra dishes for me?”
“Sure, no problem.”
Seeing her agree, Xu Shengcai’s smile widened. He had to impress Qiu Ye today.
He had it all planned out, first to watch a movie with Qiu Ye, then have lunch, followed by a stroll in the nearby garden. He wouldn’t waste a single minute.
“Little sister, do you think Qiu Ye and I are a good match?” Xu Shengcai still felt somewhat insecure.
“If I slow down, we’ll be late. Don’t worry, I won’t let you fall,” Xu Shengcai said, feeling the soft hands around his waist, his lips curling into a smile.
A flush of red spread across Xu Qiuye’s face, lingering even after they got off the bike.
Xu Ying watched the two as they arrived, occasionally glancing at them.
Qiu Ye’s face is so red, it couldn’t be what she thought, right? Has her second brother gotten into a relationship so quickly?
“Second brother, what would Qiu Ye like to eat? We have several different kinds of buns today.”
Xu Qiuye looked at the menu and ordered two buns, while Xu Shengcai, who could eat more, ordered four buns and also got a bowl of porridge, making sure to get Qiu Ye some porridge as well.
The two had breakfast before leaving the restaurant.
As soon as they left, Gao Guihua couldn’t hold back her curiosity and hurried over. She thought the girl looked familiar.
“Xu Ying, was that your relative just now?”
“That’s my second brother and his girlfriend,” Xu Ying replied without looking up, preoccupied with planning what to make for lunch.
“Your second brother’s girlfriend looks familiar. Is she from the county?”
“Yeah, do you know Sister Qiu Ye?” Xu Ying looked up, curious.
Gao Guihua thought for a long time, and it wasn’t until she had sold all the breakfast that she slapped her thigh and exclaimed, “Didn’t I just recognize your second brother’s girlfriend!”
After saying this, her expression turned odd. If that girl is Xu Ying’s second brother’s girlfriend, why are they still talking about a matchmaker?
Could it be that she isn’t satisfied with Uncle Xu’s son? But they seemed to get along quite fine.
No matter the reason, Gao Guihua felt somewhat upset.
Coincidentally, Xu Qiuye was the girl that the matchmaker had been discussing recently for her maternal uncle’s son.
But there had been a delay due to some issues on the girl’s side.
Now she understood, there was no issue, they were just leading her family on.
The more Gao Guihua thought about it, the angrier she became, deciding to visit her maternal home after work today.
The actions of Accountant Xu’s family seemed quite unethical.
It was as if they were making fools of her family.
“Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?” Gao Xianghong asked, looking puzzled.
Gao Guihua replied irritably, “Nothing, just some annoying thoughts. I’m going home after work, you go home and let our mother know.”
