Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Forced to Look at Each Other
“Mom, how’s it going with little brother’s proposal, did you et that girl?” Gao Guihua called out as soon as she entered the yard.
Mrs. Gao had been worrying about her son’s marriage these past few days. Seeing her daughter return, she complained irritably, “Not yet, we had agreed to et today. But all of a sudden, the girl’s family canceled, saying sothing about being busy at work and rescheduling. I think they’re doing it on purpose.”
If it weren’t for the girl’s family’s good conditions, she wouldn’t have been pleased at all. The most important thing was that her own son was infatuated with that girl and insisted on pursuing her. This girl who hadn’t even entered the door yet had already bewitched her son, leaving him beside himself. It was clear she was nothing but a vixen. If they really brought her into the family, there would be no end of trouble.
Mrs. Gao had no fondness for Xu Qiuye whatsoever.
When Gao Guihua heard this la excuse, she snorted and said, “Mom, what busy at work? Isn’t that girl nad Xu Qiuye, tall and fair-skinned, with a lon seed face and double eyelids, am I right?”
Mrs. Gao looked at her daughter in astonishnt, “How did you know?”
...
She had secretly taken a peek at the girl so days ago and found her quite pretty—which would explain why her son liked her so much.
Gao Guihua said grumpily, “How do I know? I saw her today. She was with a man, her boyfriend. Mom, you’ve been completely deceived. That girl already has a boyfriend; she definitely doesn’t want to see my little brother.”
Gao Yang heard his sister talking about soone having a boyfriend as soon as he got off work and curiously joined in, “Sis, who are you saying has a boyfriend and doesn’t want to et ?”
Gao Guihua saw her brother coming back and smiled indulgently, “You’re back from work. It’s your matchmaking candidate. I think you shouldn’t even bother. She already has soone. She’s just leading you on.”
Gao Yang was stunned, “You’re saying Qiuye has a boyfriend?”
“Isn’t it so? She even ca to eat at our restaurant today, and her boyfriend is the new girl’s brother from our kitchen,” Gao Guihua said helplessly.
She had figured it out; Xu Ying was a formidable girl, likely to take over Chef Ge’s role when he retired. So she dared not offend her, especially since she hoped to get her little brother a job in the kitchen of the State-owned Restaurant later. It was just about a woman, after all—otherwise, it might not be worth it.
“Gao Yang, there are plenty of won in this world. You don’t have to fixate on this one,” she continued.
Gao Yang stubbornly shook his head, “But it’s Qiuye I like. It doesn’t matter how good those other won are; if I don’t like them, it’s pointless.”
“Why are you being so obstinate, you kid, Mom, you see, this girl isn’t even married into our family yet, and if she does co later, it will be a disaster,” Gao Guihua said, seeing she couldn’t reason with her brother, and began to hint at her mother.
Mrs. Gao was also troubled. To be honest, she was quite satisfied with this marriage arrangent. The girl’s family mbers were all permanent workers. The father was even an accountant at the factory. She had to flatter the matchmaker quite a bit to get this marriage proposal arranged. If it worked out, the girl’s family would surely provide so support.
“Daughter, that girl is a permanent employee at the supply and marketing cooperative. Your little brother is just a temporary worker. If our family could marry that girl, wouldn’t our future be brighter? We could even get so insider channel when we shop at the supply and marketing cooperative,” Mrs. Gao was unwilling to give up on this juicy opportunity.
Gao Guihua didn’t say any more; she just ca to relay the ssage.
Since the girl was so outstanding, whether they could win her over was still uncertain.
Not to ntion the girl already had soone.
After all, one can’t wrap fire in paper, even if her mother kept praising her little brother.
Fake is just fake.
“Mom, do whatever you think is best. I just ca to let you know,” Gao Guihua said before getting up and leaving.
Gao Yang remained sullen after his sister left.
“Mom, you said before that you could help get a job at the transportation team, does that still hold true?” Gao Yang asked eagerly.
If he really could get a job with the transportation team, then he would be qualified to pursue Qiu Ye.
“It counts, your dad saved that man’s life back then, just a job, it’s definitely doable,” Mrs. Gao assured confidently.
This marriage proposal only ca about because she had told them her son was a driver for the transportation team, and that’s when Accountant Xu agreed to consider it.
“Mom, you need to hurry up with this, and by the way, when can I et Qiu Ye?” Gao Yang was a bit anxious, confident in himself nonetheless.
Perhaps Qiu Ye would change her mind once she saw the likes of him.
As for Qiu Ye’s suitor, Gao Yang planned to go out and inquire about it tomorrow.
Just a few days ago, Qiu Ye had no suitor, yet now suddenly one had appeared, which Gao Yang found hard to accept.
Seeing her son so determined to marry this girl, a worried frown appeared on Mrs. Gao’s face, just hoping her son would be successful.
On the other hand, Xu Shengcai rode a bicycle, taking Xu Qiuye back ho.
Arriving at the front door, Xu Shengcai carried so gifts into the courtyard.
Mother Qiuye greeted him with smiles all over her face upon seeing him; she was naturally aware of her daughter’s relationship with Xu Shengcai, and even though her husband disagreed, she was quite fond of Xu Shengcai.
“Shengcai is back, have you had dinner? Have sothing at ho,” she said.
As soon as Mother Qiuye spoke, Accountant Xu frowned deeply, sitting in the room without uttering a word.
Xu Shengcai noticed his displeasure and didn’t dare to stay long, exchanged a few courteous words with Qiu Ye, and left.
When Xu Shengcai had left, Mother Qiuye said with helpless exasperation, “The kid has co over, and yet you’re still sitting there with a dark face. What’s the aning of this?
If you didn’t agree, why did you let Qiu Ye and Shengcai start dating in the first place?”
Accountant Xu let out a cold snort and remained silent. Who would have thought that kid would actually manage to pass the qualification for an official teacher?
Xu Qiuye passed by the living room, called out “Dad,” and was about to go back to her room.
“Dad, I’m going to my room.”
“Stop right there.” Accountant Xu shouted sternly.
Xu Qiuye obediently halted, and Accountant Xu said, “Today I told you about a match for you, make ti and go have a look.”
“Dad,” Xu Qiuye’s face flushed with anger, “I won’t go, since I am with Shengcai, I won’t consider anyone else.
And in my life, I have only chosen Shengcai, besides him, I won’t marry anyone else,” Xu Qiuye declared earnestly.
Accountant Xu’s hand shook with anger as he clenched his chopsticks. He slamd them on the table, his lips trembling, “Fine, now you’ve grown wings and think you’re beyond my control.
You must go, and if you dare not, then get out, I don’t need a daughter like you.”
“Old Xu, what are you saying?” Mother Qiuye, hearing this, imdiately panicked, hurriedly stepping in front of her daughter to diate, “Your dad is just angry, don’t mind his nonsense.
This is your ho, and you are my daughter, I’d like to see who’d dare to drive you away.”
Mother Qiuye, who usually obeyed Accountant Xu, was for the first ti talking back to him so assertively.
Accountant Xu was stunned. His wife had always revered her husband and hardly ever contradicted him; today, she too, like her daughter, was standing up to him.
A fire of anger burned within Accountant Xu’s chest.
“Dad, my sister has grown up, she has the right to choose for herself. Since she and Brother Shengcai have mutual affection, just agree, please,” Xu Wenbing couldn’t bear it any longer.
