Chapter 536: Good things come to you, a rich son-in-law
"Lili, are you ready?"
"OK OK."
A beautiful girl came out hurriedly, fixing her hair.
"Hey, Lili is so beautiful. Whoever marries you must be blessed by the good deeds he did in his previous life." The man looked at his daughter and nodded with satisfaction.
"No way." Lili blushed and lowered her head.
"Okay, let's go, let's go meet someone today, I promise you'll like them."
"My dear daughter, you must take a good look at others. If there is anything you don't understand, remember to come back and tell me. I will help you with some advice." A middle-aged woman came out and said.
"I know, Mom."
"Okay, let's go." The middle-aged man got on his bicycle and drove away with the girl.
Scrap yard.
"Old Wu, good morning. Who is this beautiful girl?" Uncle Qian outside the door raised his eyebrows as he looked at the girl behind the foreman, Old Wu.
"What do you think of my girl? Pretty, right?" Old Wu looked up proudly.
Uncle Qian looked at Old Wu, then at his daughter, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
"She is indeed beautiful. Is this really your daughter? She doesn't look like you. Look at your appearance. You don't look like someone who can give birth to a beautiful daughter."
Suddenly, Old Wu was furious: "Hey, Old Qian, you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. What do you mean by "what I look like"? How do I look like? Tell me!"
"I was just kidding. Why are you so angry? By the way, why did you bring your daughter here? You know where this place is." Uncle Qian asked in confusion.
"Hey, I won't tell you!"
After saying that, Old Wu drove Lili into the station.
"Hey, this is really strange." Uncle Qian muttered to himself, "No, I have to go and take a look."
Without even looking at the gate, he went in to see what was going on, thinking that no one would come to the scrap yard to steal things anyway.
Old Wu brought Lili inside, saw Bai Xiuwen packing up the tricycle, pointed at him and introduced him.
"Hey, that's him. This is the guy I introduced to you. What do you think? He's quite handsome, right?"
Lili looked at Bai Xiuwen busying around and was fascinated by his serious look. Bai Xiuwen was indeed a little handsome and he had a place in her heart.
"He is not only handsome, but also capable. He was the one who repaired the furniture in our house."
"Don't think that he is just a poor boy with a sister now. He is very capable. He will be different in a few years."
"By then, even if you like them, they may not like you."
While introducing him, Old Wu looked at Bai Xiuwen as if he were a son-in-law. This is a rich son-in-law.
Not only is he a nice person, he's also good looking. Most importantly, he has skills, so making money is a piece of cake for him. My daughter will definitely enjoy a life of luxury if she marries him.
"How do you like it?"
Lili stared at Bai Xiuwen blankly. She had never heard of Old Wu's question before. She just stared at him, lost in thought for a moment.
"Hey~" Old Wu shook his head. He fell in love with her the first time they met. It seems that this can work out.
It would be great if this could work.
After packing up the tricycle, Bai Xiuwen stood up and saw the foreman, Brother Wu, with a pretty girl next to him. He wondered what she was looking at.
"There's no one here." Bai Xiuwen looked left and right but didn't see anyone else. When he looked at the girl again, he saw her with her head down, rubbing the corner of her clothes.
"noob."
"Brother Wu!" Bai Xiuwen came to Old Wu.
Bai Xiuwen still respects the foreman, Brother Wu. He has received a lot of help from him in the past few months and has also learned some skills from him.
Looking at Bai Xiuwen and then at her daughter Lili, she became more and more satisfied. This was simply a match made in heaven.
"Xiao Bai, you are not young anymore. You are already over 20 this year."
Bai Xiuwen was puzzled when he heard Old Wu's unclear question, but he still answered, "21 this year."
"21, almost the same age, just 3 years older." Old Wu murmured softly.
Then he continued, "You are already this old, do you have any plans to get married? Do you have someone you like?"
Bai Xiuwen smiled awkwardly: "Brother Wu, you know my situation. I am just a refugee. How can I have a partner, let alone get married?"
"Besides, I have a younger sister who is still young. I just want to make money now."
Old Wu pretended to be serious: "Look at what you said, can't refugees have a partner? Besides, it's okay if you have a sister."
"Besides, when it comes to money, take your time. There's no rush. You're still young and have plenty of time to make money."
Listening to Old Wu's teachings, Bai Xiuwen just nodded and looked at Lili, vaguely guessing something.
"Brother Wu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I have something else to do later."
"Okay, since you said so, I'll be frank." Old Wu looked at Lili beside him, "This is my daughter. I was thinking about you two trying to date each other."
"If you like each other, get married as soon as possible."
"Mr. Wu." Bai Xiuwen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Wu: "I know your situation. I will pay for everything for the wedding."
"Just marry her. Don't worry. I don't mean to look down on you. You've only been here for less than half a year and you don't have much money saved. How can I let you spend money?"
Listen, with Brother Wu's conditions, basically any father-in-law who said so would marry him on the spot.
It’s a pity that Bai Xiuwen already has someone in his heart. Even if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be so anxious to get married.
Old Wu saw that Bai Xiuwen didn't say anything and thought that he didn't know about her daughter's situation, so he didn't agree easily.
Not bad, very stable.
"Xiao Bai, let me introduce Lili to you. Lili is 18 years old this year, just an adult, 3 years younger than you. She graduated from junior high school last year."
Wu Lili, who graduated from junior high school, failed to get into either a technical secondary school or a high school. She should have gone out to work, but given the current situation, it is difficult to find a job, so she has been staying at home.
I help my mother at home and take care of my younger brothers and sisters.
Old Wu didn't mind that Lili didn't have a job. He earned enough money to cover the family expenses and even save some, so it was no big deal to have an idle person at home.
What's more, she is not necessarily an idle person. She helps her mother with a lot of housework, which makes her mother's life a lot easier.
"My daughter is hardworking, diligent and virtuous. I would not feel at ease if she married someone else, but I feel completely at ease if she married you."
"Although we have known each other for less than half a year, I can see clearly what kind of person you are. Why don't we give it a try? Maybe it will work."
As he said this, Old Wu looked at Bai Xiuwen expectantly and agreed.
Lili raised her head slightly and watched Bai Xiuwen's reaction out of the corner of her eye.
Bai Xiuwen didn't know how to decline for a moment, so he forced a smile and said, "Brother Wu, I'm just a scrap collector, how can I be worthy of your daughter?"
"Hey, look at what you said. What's wrong with dealing in scraps? Besides, we deal in scraps, and we know the tricks involved. Others may not know, but don't we know them?" As vested interests, how could Lao Wu and Lili dislike working at the scrap station?
The Wu family can live a good life thanks to the connections at the scrap yard. How could Lili dislike her job?
It’s just that the environment at the scrap yard is dirty, messy, and smells bad, so it’s not suitable for girls to work there.
"I also have a 6-year-old sister."
"It's no problem. He's 6 years old. He's sensible and self-sufficient. He's not a baby, making a lot of noise."
Are you kidding? Bai Chi has a city hukou and a good brother who earns enough to support her. What's there to be dissatisfied about?
Not to mention one, I can even support three younger sisters.
Seeing that no matter what he said, he couldn't dispel Old Wu's idea, Bai Xiuwen became a little anxious.
Just yesterday I had developed a secret crush on Xu Sinan, and today someone came to my house and wanted to be my son-in-law. This change happened too quickly.
"Brother Wu, this happened too suddenly. I'm not prepared at all. Please give me some time to think about it."
"It's getting late, and I still have tasks to complete, so I won't chat any more."
After saying that, he nodded to Lili and hurriedly rode away on his tricycle.
Fortunately, he did not refuse this matter. The stationmaster Wang Chengcai had originally told him not to collect waste anymore, but this was extra money.
Bai Xiuwen didn't want to lose this extra income just because he had the skills, and fortunately he didn't lose it, otherwise it would have been difficult to leave.
Bai Xiuwen's hasty departure made Lili feel sad. She didn't expect that she would be treated like this after risking her dignity to see the man.
Old Wu also noticed his daughter's situation and advised: "Lili, don't worry. This is really too sudden for Xiaobai. She is not prepared at all."
"Give him some time to think it over. It's my fault for not telling him in advance. Marriage is a big deal and can't be rushed."
Seeing her father blaming her like this, Lili hurried to comfort him: "Dad, I don't blame you. This is too abrupt. I will listen to you. Give him some time to think about it."
Seeing his daughter recover so quickly, Old Wu felt even more ashamed.
He thought Bai Xiuwen would agree after he said that, but he didn't expect him to have no reaction. His steady look made him even more worthy of being entrusted with his daughter.
"Xiaobai won't be back for a while, so you should go home first. Don't think too much. Xiaobai is a very good person. Maybe when he figures it out, you two can get along well."
"Think about how you are going to get along with him and his sister in the future. Xiaobai is a good person, so you must hold on to him."
As the saying goes, when a man pursues a woman, it's like a mountain between them; when a woman pursues a man, it's like a thin layer of gauze between them. With Lili's conditions, it's not difficult for her to pursue Bai Xiuwen.
"Yeah." Lili nodded and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Uncle Qian, who had been watching from behind, immediately stood up and said, "Old Wu, you are so mean. You actually want to take advantage of Xiao Bai. How can you be so mean?"
"Ah~" Old Wu was so frightened that his body trembled. He turned around and saw Uncle Qian and said angrily, "You old thing, why are you yelling? You almost scared me to death!"
As he spoke, Old Wu covered his heart with his hands, as if he was really frightened by the sudden incident.
But Uncle Qian just squinted at him, his face full of disbelief, "Can this scare you? Do you think I'm stupid? I don't know about others, but don't you and I know about it?"
"How can this scare you? How could you not be scared to death? How dare you set your sights on Xiao Bai? It would be best if you were scared to death. And you actually sold your daughter."
Old Wu grabbed Uncle Qian by the collar and said, "Bah! You old man, do you know how to speak? What do you mean I sold my daughter? I just found a good husband for my daughter. You know nothing!"
"Hmph!" Uncle Qian treated him coldly, which made Old Wu even more angry.
"You are a piece of shit that can't even spit out ivory. Aren't you also targeting Xiao Bai? Wasn't it just that your daughter got married two months ago?"
"If your daughter hasn't married yet, you dare to say that you don't want to marry your daughter to Xiaobai! Just say it!"
Having his thoughts exposed, Uncle Qian couldn't help but glance up at the sky.
"Humph, aren't you also planning on Xiao Bai? And you still have the nerve to criticize me. I remember you have a daughter who is about 16 or 17 years old. You are not thinking of..."
"You old thing, the older one is married, but you're still plotting against the younger one. You bastard, you have more tricks than me!"
After his thoughts were revealed, Uncle Qian wished he could find a hole to crawl into. He wondered how Old Wu had guessed it.
He said this because he really didn't want to let Bai Xiuwen, his rich son-in-law, go.
The most popular person in the station right now is Bai Xiuwen, and his qualifications almost meet everyone's requirements.
Mr. Qian pretended to straighten his collar, as if he didn't care: "Humph! You are so lucky, I will give it to you this time."
"Hey, Lao Qian, we need to talk about this properly. What do you mean by giving in? If you can rob, then come and rob."
"You kid!" Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Old Wu, Uncle Qian could only leave unwillingly.
The eldest daughter is married, and the younger daughter is not yet an adult, so she can't get married even if she wants to. Bai Xiuwen can't delay her for a year or two.
"Oh, that's not right. Xiaobai is not that old, one or two years is fine. If it's suitable, it's not impossible to get engaged first."
"Yes, that's right. I'll tell my daughter when I get back. If they like each other, it might not be impossible."
When Uncle Qian thought about how he had snatched away Old Wu's good fortune, he wanted to laugh out loud, but he held it back.
After Bai Xiuwen pulled back a truckload of scrap, Old Wu approached him again.
"Xiaobai, what do you think? Why don't you and Lili try to get along with each other? You two are adults now, and it's time to talk about marriage."
Looking at Old Wu who was looking expectant, Bai Xiuwen still couldn't refuse, after all, he had helped him many times before.
"Brother Wu, marriage is a big deal after all. I want to talk to my parents first. After all, it's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. It would be bad if I didn't tell them."
Hearing this, Old Wu's face lit up. If he didn't refuse, that meant he agreed.
"What you said does make sense. So you can take some time to write a letter and send it back to your family to talk about it. While you're there, you two can try to get along with each other."
"If you are attracted to each other and the letter has been sent to your home, I will send a copy back and ask your parents to be witnesses."
All of a sudden, Old Wu arranged everything very clearly, which made it difficult for Bai Xiuwen.
His parents are not in the city, so the arrangements of his parents and the matchmaker's words are of no use at all. Whether he wants to get married or not is entirely up to him.
Whatever he said was what it meant. Perhaps his family members thought he died on the way to escape famine.
Since arriving in Sijiu City, Bai Xiuwen has not sent a single letter to his family.
Bai Xiuwen is now only interested in making money so that he can try to date Xu Sinan. He has no interest in other people at all.
But looking at Old Wu, it was hard to refuse.
"Forget it, I'll just find a reason to refuse later."
Thinking of this, Bai Xiuwen didn't feel comfortable saying no.
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Wu."
"Okay, it's settled then. You two can make an appointment sometime."
Old Wu was very happy that he had successfully solved the issue of his eldest daughter's marriage. He finally got this rich son-in-law.
What a joy!
