Gui Zhi, that was Lin's mother's na, her full na was Zhang Gui Zhi.
Lin's mother had a friend nad Yuer Lee.
Actually, what Yuer Lee wanted to convey was sowhat subtle. For instance, she had no clear idea about the outco of the matchmaking between the two children. As adults, they should not ddle in this affair. Let the children sort it out themselves, and this matter would sort itself out with ti.
This way, the situation would seem more approachable.
However, as she had told her niece, she had a good relationship with Zhang Gui Zhi. If she did not pursue the matter, she might deprive Lin Yun of other matchmaking opportunities, which would be a great injustice to her friend.
It was the end of the year, and many young n and won who were working outside had returned ho. It was the perfect ti for matchmaking.
Lin Yun was not 'getting any younger', and his situation couldn't be dragged on any longer.
Moreover, since their relationship was good, they could speak their minds openly.
"It's okay. Little Cloud, this child, apparently has a girlfriend. I just found out about it too. Today, I asked him to et your niece. I think I should be the one feeling embarrassed," Lin's mother laughed and said.
Initially, she hadn't planned to reveal this. Yet, her friend spoke so bluntly that she felt awkward, and could only respond with this information to save face.
"Little Cloud has a girlfriend?" Yuer Lee exclaid in surprise.
"This is a good thing. Unfortunately, Little Cloud and Yanyan just aren't destined to be together..." Yuer Lee sighed in relief and said with a smile.
They talked for about ten more minutes before Lin's mother went ho.
"It's a sha. Little Cloud, isn't he practically growing up in front of us? His character is impeccable, he earns tens of thousands every month, he should be doing quite well. It's too bad that Yanyan didn't take a liking to him and he also has a girlfriend..." Yuer Lee sighed slightly.
"He has a fucking girlfriend? If he really had a girlfriend, would he have spent two or three thousand to invite Yanyan to dinner? I guess his family is probably just afraid of losing face. So, they say he earns tens of thousands every month? As if I don't say I make thirty thousand a month!" A man who was lounging on a chair reading a newspaper put down the paper, sneered, and said.
This man happened to be Yuer Lee's husband, Lin Minghui.
He was never quite satisfied with the friendship Yuer Lee had with this friend. Her family sold vegetables, and didn't save much in a year. What was the use of befriending such people?
Well, there was so use.
They would often send so vegetables to his ho for free.
But how much could those vegetables be worth?
He wasn't going to accept any favors.
"What way is that to speak about Gui Zhi? She's not that kind of person, and neither is her family," Yuer Lee frowned, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Alright alright, don't worry about your niece anymore. Your niece is pretty and I am not worried that she won't find a good man. Even if Lin Yun makes tens of thousands a month, so what? Nowadays, with the sharp rise in prices, earning tens of thousands a month may not be enough! At ho, earning tens of thousands per month is quite substantial!" Lin Minghui waved his hand dismissively.
"Don't set your sights so low. Look at your niece's good friend, she's getting married in a few days. Aren't the groom's family impressive? The groom himself is a civil servant, and his father is the director of a departnt! If Yanyan found such a good man, our family could share the glory. I'm not saying anything else.
Just in Immortal Origin County, who would dare to bully us?" Lin Minghui paused, then said with a tinge of envy in his tone.
"Share the glory, all you think about is sharing the glory! If your expectations are too high, you may end up empty-handed! Moreover, who can say what the future holds for a person? If it's your unlucky period, no matter how good your match is, he may encounter problems as soon as you marry him.
If it's your lucky period, no matter how poor your match is, he might start prospering as soon as you marry him!" Yuer Lee gave her husband a disdainful look, and replied irritably.
"I think Little Cloud is good, he's always seed promising since he was a child..." Yuer Lee paused before continuing.
"Huh! If he was promising, why would he have dropped out after high school? What kind of future could a person who hasn't even attended university have? By the way, Yanyan is a university student. Are you introducing a high school male to a university female? Ridiculous!" Lin Minghui let out a scornful laugh.
"Mark my words, if he becos successful, I will let you use my head as a football. Most likely, he will just earn tens of thousands a month. Maybe, he is just working as a labourer at a construction site. There are quite a few labourers who earn a lot these days. Co to think of it, this might be true. The kid has been practicing martial arts since he was young and is quite strong.
Think about it, without a degree, where else can you get a job that pays tens of thousands a month other than at a construction site..."
...
"Brother, can I discuss sothing with you?" Lin Duoer asked bashfully while she was tidying up Lin Yun's room.
"What's the matter?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
"Several boys from the school want to pursue . I don't want to deal with them, but they are roughnecks. I want you to teach them a lesson..." Lin Duoer's face turned a slight red as she spoke.
"Hehe, I get it, I'll co to school with you tomorrow and check it out. Any ruffian who dares to have designs on my sister is courting death. Back in the days, your brother was known as the ruffian killer in school..." Lin Yun laughed and said.
"That's great, brother, you're the best!" Lin Duoer said excitedly.
Afterward, Lin Duoer turned around and skipped away happily.
Seeing this, Lin Yun shook his head and smiled.
He doubted that the situation was as serious as his sister made it out to be.
But since his sister had said so, he would go and see for himself.
Regardless, as long as his sister was happy, it was fine.
Lin Estate was small and there weren't many people of Lin Yun's age.
In the evening, when so young people learned that Lin Yun had returned, they invited him to play cards. Lin Yun declined.
And so, everything was quiet.
The next day, Lin Yun went to school with his sister.
"Xiaohua, this is my brother!"
"Nannan, this is my brother!"
Along the way, Lin Duoer cheerfully greeted each girl she knew. Every ti, she introduced Lin Yun to them, which made him sowhat speechless.
Nevertheless, Lin Yun was quite heartened.
It was evident how proud his sister was of him.
"Is that Lin Duoer's brother?"
"Is that Lin Yun from our school's legend?"
"He's really handso!"
"He's very mature and cool. He's different from the immature boys in our school. Well... he's better than those ruffians in society..."
A few girls sneakily glanced at Lin Yun and whispered.
Their faces were blushing as they talked.
Lin Yun had excellent hearing, and he could hear the students' whispers. He found it amusing.
His sister was right. So little girls did really like him, which left him at a loss about what to say.
However, at the sa ti, he found out sothing interesting.
About his sister.
