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.
Especially when he thought about how Mr. Qiu Ye looked down on him, it made Xu Shengcai feel awful.
Xu Ying didn’t see any reason her brother would be considered lacking. His tragic past life was also because of her.
Her brother was definitely one of the best in looks and wasn’t far behind in talent either.
“Brother, I think you and Sister Qiu Ye are very well-matched. She chose to be with you because she feels you’re compatible, don’t worry so much.
Just focus on making money, Sister Qiu Ye is still waiting for you to marry her.”
Hearing this, Xu Shengcai gained some confidence. Indeed, if Qiu Ye was with him, they must be well-matched.
He wouldn’t let down the confidence Qiu Ye had in him.
“Brother, go and find Sister Qiu Ye first, bring her here for breakfast before going out,” Xu Ying said as she went into the restaurant.
Xu Shengcai rode his bicycle to Qiu Ye’s house.
Just as he arrived at the Xu house, Xu Qiuye ran out of the yard with tears in her eyes, with Accountant Xu chasing after her.
“Qiu Ye, what’s wrong?” Xu Shengcai parked his bicycle quickly and ran over.
Seeing him, Xu Qiuye couldn’t hold back her tears any longer, streaming down her cheeks as she wiped them, “It’s nothing.”
“Shengcai is here, is something wrong?” Accountant Xu noticed a flash of discomfiture across his face.
“Uncle Xu, what’s the matter with Qiu Ye?” Xu Shengcai asked.
“What could it be? The kid’s not happy doing some work, why don’t you guys go out and take a walk?” Seeing that it was getting late, Accountant Xu turned and headed back to the courtyard to get ready to bike to work.
When he passed his daughter, he glared at her angrily before pedaling away.
Xu Shengcai was still a little worried, “Qiu Ye, what exactly is the matter? Did Uncle Xu force you to do something you didn’t want to?
If you don’t want to do it, just tell me and I’ll help you.”
A trace of bitterness flashed through Xu Qiuye’s eyes, which quickly disappeared, “It’s nothing, just a minor quarrel. Let’s hurry to the cinema to ensure we get seats.”
This was the first time she and Xu Shengcai were going to the movies, and she didn’t want some unpleasant things to ruin their date.
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk, Xu Shengcai stopped asking, “Let’s go grab some breakfast first, then head to the cinema.
Sit tight!” After saying that, Xu Shengcai sped up.
Xu Qiuye screamed in surprise and quickly clung to Xu Shengcai’s waist.
“Slow down!”
“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.@@novelbin@@
Gao Guihua replied irritably, “Nothing, just some annoying thoughts. I’m going home after work, you go home and let our mother know.”
What do you think?
