Chapter 64: Who Made Me an Honest Man 2
Usually, in this kind of blind date party, Liang Guifen and Yan Chus aunt, who was the introducer, would not sit at this table for a long time. Basically, after cooking the atmosphere for the young people, they ate a few bites casually and found an excuse to leave, went somewhere else to eat something, leaving space for the two protagonists on the blind date.
Not long after the food was ready, the aunt took Liang Guifen away because she suddenly remembered that there was still something to buy. Before leaving, Liang Guifen grabbed his sons hand and gave him an encouraging look.
Without the two original mood makers, the ones left were only Yan Chu, who had only said a word or two from the beginning to the present, and Liang Zhizhi, who seemed gentle and quiet. Except for the sound of chopsticks met bowls, as well as the chatting of people at several tables nearby, the atmosphere of the two people seemed to plunge into a dead silence.
Mr. Yan, forget it, Yan Chu, can I call you that?
Liang Zhizhi took a sip of papaya juice she ordered, put down the cup, and said softly to Yan Chu.
She looked at the man opposite. His appearance was five points, and his dress was negative ten points, slow-witted and clumsy mouth. When sitting together for a meal, he unexpectedly asked her, the girl, to take the initiative to talk, and his character was negative ten points. In the past, she would not have looked at such a man.
Liang Zhizhis slender neck was raised high, like a beautiful and proud swan, looking down at Yan Chus ugly duckling from above.
Can. You can.
This time, the person that Yan Chu possessed was such a shy character. Otherwise, he would not have been dragged until 28 years old when he had two houses and two shops in his family. It was rare in the 180-line small county in the city where the marriage was relatively early.
I dont know if Aunt Hong has introduced my basic situation to you. If you want to know, I can reintroduce once more.
The restaurant where they ate today should be considered a relatively high-end restaurant in the county. To show their sincerity, even though Liang Zhizhi was polite and did not order anything, Liang Guifen ordered six main dishes and some side dishes in one go.
Liang Zhizhi seemed to be losing weight. The dishes that others thought were rich were not attractive to her at all. From sitting down to now, she had hardly moved her chopsticks.
With an attitude of not wasting, Yan Chu, unlike Liang Zhizhi, had hardly stopped eating.
In the eyes of many older generations, big fish and meat were good dishes. Liang Zhizhi did not take the initiative to order. Liang Guifen ordered what she thought was good dishes from her point of view. They were heavy in oil and salt. Her rice bowl was filthy. Sometimes, if one did not pay attention, some sauce stuck on the corners of the mouth.
Seeing his appearance, Liang Zhizhi hesitated. Even in his current situation, she could not wrong him to be with such a man.
There was no red wine or steak, no beautiful piano performance, in this messy little restaurant.
Perhaps, this man did not know what Lafite was from what she saw.
Just thinking about her current situation, she struggled for a while, but finally restrained her urge to get up and leave.
This point was not the time for her willfulness, all in all-
Looking at the opposite, Liang Zhizhi tried her best to restrain the contempt she thought she was hiding well and did not know where it came from, thinking that she was higher than him.
Im a real person with feelings. Since Im here for a blind date, its for marriage naturally.
Liang Zhizhi looked like a gentle and quiet girl. At this time, her words were quite convincing to others.
I used to work as a department manager in a foreign-funded company in Shanghai, with a monthly salary of about 20,000 Yuan. This year Im 28, about the same age as you. I originally planned to stay in Shanghai. After all, theres a big space for development in a metropolis.
Liang Zhizhi had a different charm when she spoke, which made people stare at her eyes.
In this case, why did Miss Liang come back?
Yan Chu ate a piece of soft and mushy stewed pork trotters. Sure enough, Greater China26Greater Chinarefers to China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macaus cuisine was savorier in terms of taste.
Liang Zhizhi was not surprised that the other party would ask her this question. After all, the per capita income in this small county where she was born was not high, basically around two to three thousand. Therefore, it seemed inconceivable that Liang Zhizhi abandoned her monthly salary of over 10,000 Yuan and chose to come back.
Not long ago, my father was seriously ill. At that time, I was on a business trip abroad, so I missed the moment when my parents needed me the most. Were all children. I assumed that you, Yan Chu, should understand my feelings at that time, right?
Liang Zhizhis words were a little choked. If it were not for Yan Chu, distinctly knew that she had accompanied the boss of the other company on a cruise ship to visit most of China to negotiate a big project when her father had an operation. He would have thought that the other party was such a filial girl.
If this, the original self who was a filial young man at this time, perhaps he already touched in the extreme at an earlier time and felt that the girl at present was so filial and kind-hearted, worth cherishing.
I cant earn enough money, so I decided to quit my present job and come back to stay with my parents.
Liang Zhizhi seemed to have cleared up her mood and began to cut into todays topic.
To be honest, Im not young anymore. So I can cultivate feelings after marriage, and it mainly depends on the suitability of the conditions nowadays. I dont ask too much about my partner, mainly depends on the character. At the time, the introducer Aunt Hong told me about you, said that youre now an elementary school Language and Literature teacher, so you must be a very gentle and careful man, right?
It doesnt matter. Just like the students I teach, theyre all quite fond of me.
It was the first time for Yan Chu to hear a girl complimented him so frankly, let alone a beautiful girl who was on a blind date with him. He blushed after hearing her praise.
Seeing him so easy to deal with, Liang Zhizhi suddenly felt that honestly marrying the other party was not such an intolerable thing. At least this man was stupid.
Anyway, it would be two or three years at most, and forbearance would pass.
This time Liang Zhizhi came back from Shanghai for a blind date, which was related to the big boss she had been accompanying in Shanghai.
The foreign company where Liang Zhizhi worked had many managers like her. Their main task was to attract customers on behalf of the company. As for how to do it, the company would not care. Anyway, how much return you wanted, you must prepare how much to pay. The beautiful girls in the company, like Liang Zhizhi, all had this awareness.
This time, the big boss Liang Zhizhi met was not simple. His assets were at least ten digits upward. Even though Liang Zhizhi already met many bosses through the companys platform, that man could still rank in the top three.
The mans surname was Zhang, and his name was Zhang Xiuyuan. He was born into an ordinary office-bearer family. For him to have this current wealthy family, he could not do without the support of his wife. However, every dog had its day. He was lucky. Taking advantage of the rise of the Internet, his Internet company soon catches up with his wifes family in terms of assets and scale.
As soon as the long-pressed man gained power, he could not suppress his tail. He did not mean to shed all pretense of cordiality and cohabit with and financially support a mistress with his wife for the time being, but he was indispensable to act on occasion.
Liang Zhizhi was one of his women who had a short-lasting relationship. However, this period of short-lasting love was longer. After a full months upstream of the sea, without taking necessary measures, Liang Zhizhi had something more in her stomach.
When Zhang Xiuyuan was with his wife, he had agreed that the first child would have his surname, and the second would have his wifes maiden name. At that time, Zhang Xiuyuan had to rely on his father-in-laws family, so he naturally agreed, but the bad thing was that his wife gave birth to a daughter in the first birth and a son in the second.
Although Zhang Xiuyuans parents were civil servants, their ideological level was not so high. They felt that their grandson with an outsiders surname but their granddaughter with their surnames was losing much money. They had long been reluctant.
Zhang Xiuyuan wanted to ask his wife to change his sons surname, and then his daughter and his wife had the same surname, but his wife refused.
The other party was not as patriarchal as the Zhang family, but when the second child was born, the eldest daughter was already five years old, and then she suddenly changed her surname. If the child asked why, should he tell her because she was a daughter, her father and paternal grandparents wanted a son with their surname, so they changed hers? For a five-year-old child, she might not be able to understand accurately what this meant, but the sadness of being rejected by the elders would accompany her for life. And it was not conducive to getting along with her brother.
This incident created a gap between the Zhang family and the daughter-in-laws family. Zhang Xiuyuans own business grew bigger and bigger, and he felt that he had no heir.
Sooner or later, the daughter would get married. The surnames of their son and wife were not from their Zhang family. Such a large family property could not be cheap for outsiders.
And Liang Zhizhi clearly understood his thoughts during that month with the other party.
She was 28 this year. Girls, especially women like them who serve people with sex, had a pretty short flowering period. Although they were making a lot of money now, the companys commission was 50,000 to 60,000 per month, adding into a bag and some small jewelry if those big bosses were in a good mood to buy for them. Generally, small businesses were not as quick as they paid, but similarly, they spent a lot of money. If one wanted to compete with other girls for men, they had to straighten their faces better.
Liang Zhizhi did not know how many years she could survive such a life. She was used to spending money like water and wanted to find herself a long-term meal ticket, so she settled down.
Mistresses were not long, and she also did not expect to become those mens legally recognized wives. She wanted to give birth to a child to the other party, through that child, fished for the others bank card for a long time.
Zhang Xiuyuans situation was her best goal.
But she also had her cleverness. In recent years, Zhang Xiuyuan had not kept his wife in secret from his womanizing outside, but the other party could prevent those women from being pregnant, and if they were, they could not give birth to them. It was enough to see that the woman was not easy to deal with. As a woman who had been with Zhang Xiuyuan for a whole month, maybe the other partys wife had already been eyeing her.
So after confirming that she was pregnant, Liang Zhizhi quit her job and went back to her hometown without much thinking. Then she made a rumor that she planned to settle down, got married and had children, and stayed in the county in the future.
Now the baby in her belly was just over a month old. She did not show any conceit at all. As long as she speeded up, it would be the past to explain the premature birth at that time.
Now she only wanted her life to be better. She had a boy in her stomach. In this case, Zhang Xiuyuan would never treat them, mother and son, wrongly. As for girls, Liang Zhizhi was not rare. The man in front of him looked stupid. It estimated that besides her, there was no beautiful little girl who would like to marry him except for her.
Marrying him was just a temporary measure. If it was a girl, merely throw it to the man in front of her. Anyway, for him, this was his daughter, and it was a small advantage for the other.
Miss Liang, since everyones rushing to get married, then Ive to talk about my familys situation.
Yan Chu seemed quite embarrassed to open his mouth. He was nervous when he said, My father passed away in an accident when I was very young. So if we get married, my mother must have followed me. If you disagree, maybe we arent suitable.
Liang Zhizhi frowned. She did not want to live with an older woman. Of course, this was not the point. A beautiful girl like her showed interest in him because he wanted to live with his mother. If she disagreed, he would refuse her?
A mamas boy-man, Liang Zhizhi especially had this reaction. No wonder she looked down on him for such a man.
I think the work and rest of young people are different from those of the older generation. Maybe Auntie wants to live her own life. Liang Zhizhi spoke tactfully.
Different?
Yan Chu seemed to be a little puzzled: No, my mothers work and rest are the same as mine. I get up at 5:30 to exercise, eat breakfast at 7:00, and then I go to work. My mother buys groceries and cleans, and eats at 6:30 in the evening, exercises for half an hour at 8:00, then takes a shower, reads a book, watches TV, and goes to bed on time before 10:00. This lifestyles very healthy. Miss Liang, you used to be busy with work in a big city. When you settle down here, youll have a good time and adjust your work and rest.
Liang Zhizhis work and rest were very standard young people in the feasting and pleasure-seeking world. She only laid in bed at two or three in the morning and only got up when the sun was on the rise. The living habits that Yan Chu said were no different from monks in Liang Zhizhis opinion.
Looking at the face opposite this very normal honest man, Liang Zhizhi wondered whether she should continue the conversation.
