Chapter 556 Sorry, You Are a Good Girl
"Old Wu, what about Xiaobai and Lili? They have been dating for more than a month, and it's time for a result."
Old Wu's wife took advantage of her free time to talk to Old Wu.
Old Wu nodded: "Have you been dating for that long? It feels like we've only been dating for a few days."
Old Wu's wife rolled her eyes and said, "You, what can I say about you? Your daughter's matter is so important, and you still forget it. I don't know how you can be a father."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Old Wu's wife: "I'm here to talk to you about serious matters. Don't be so playful. Our daughter is so good that she won't have trouble finding a husband. Go ask Xiaobai tomorrow to see if he likes our daughter."
"If you like her, get married as soon as possible. You don't need any gifts or wedding banquets. Your family doesn't even have enough food to eat, and you want to give it to outsiders. You can just give some wedding candies to your neighbors as a token of your appreciation."
"It's difficult for the young couple at the beginning, so they can get married when they are well-off. You must go and ask tomorrow. Our daughter is so anxious, you see, her face is red."
Old Wu's wife pointed at Lili who was sewing shoe soles. Although she was concentrating on sewing the shoe soles, she was eavesdropping all the time. Her face turned red like a big apple.
Seeing that his wife was so considerate of Bai Xiuwen, Old Wu looked at his daughter whose face was blushing.
"Okay, I'll go ask about the situation tomorrow. Our daughter is thinking about love, and she can't be kept here anymore."
"Dad, what are you talking about!" Lili said shyly.
"Hey, you're still shy. Why don't you want to get married?" Old Wu's wife teased.
"mom."
"Hmph, I won't pay any attention to you!" He threw down his shoe soles and immediately ran back to his room.
"Hahaha~ So shy~"
the next day.
Old Wu arrived at the scrap yard early in the morning, just waiting for Bai Xiuwen to arrive.
The two have been talking for more than a month, and it's time to get a result.
Not long after, Bai Xiuwen pushed his bicycle to the scrap yard.
"Morning, Xiaobai!"
"Morning, Brother Wu!"
Old Wu got straight to the point and said, "Xiao Bai, you've been dating Lili for more than a month. What do you think of her?"
Bai Xiuwen didn't know what Old Wu was up to, so he said ambiguously, "Lili, I get along well with her. She's a good girl."
"Is that so?" Old Wu nodded with satisfaction. If that's what you said, then this can be done.
"Brother Wu, is there something wrong?"
Old Wu stopped hiding the truth and said, "It's like this. You two have been dating for more than a month, right? Your aunt asked me to ask you, when do you and Lili plan to get married?"
"I know you're in trouble. There's no need to rush the betrothal gifts and wedding banquet. Just get married first, and the rest can be done later."
silence.
Bai Xiuwen felt guilty and didn't know how to explain to Old Wu.
Seeing Bai Xiuwen's shy look, Old Wu shouted, "Grown up man, just say what you want to say. Your elder brother is an experienced person, why are you shy?"
Seeing how generous Brother Wu was, Bai Xiuwen felt even more guilty and had no words to express his grievances.
Bai Xiuwen bowed to Old Wu and said, "Brother Wu, I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to get married right now."
"I just want to make money now. I'm still young and I have a younger sister at home. I have no plans to get married yet."
Hearing this, Old Wu educated him.
"Xiaobai, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're still young, don't just think about making money. I know you came to the city to escape the war, your family isn't well off, and you've been at the scrap yard for almost half a year."
"The salary, dividends, and extra income from the station are enough for you to earn. You should have saved at least 100 to 180 yuan, so you have some spare money."
"I know you want to save more. I'm not even going to hold a wedding banquet. Besides, you're not young anymore. I think you would have married your aunt long ago. Even Lili is pregnant."
"Besides, your sister can just be brought to my house to be raised. It would be a good opportunity for her to have a sister of the same age to talk to at home."
Old Wu's words made Bai Xiuwen's arrangements clear and precise.
But Bai Xiuwen still had his grievances unsaid, and he had no choice but to pick reasons that he could express.
"Brother Wu, to be honest, I bought this job because I owed someone money. I want to wait until I pay off the money before considering getting married."
"You owe money? Did you borrow money to buy this job?"
Bai Xiuwen nodded.
Old Wu was silent, took a deep breath and said slowly: "How much did you borrow? I'll see if I can help you pay it back first. If it's not much, you don't have to pay it back. Just be nice to Lili in the future."
"500 yuan."
Call ~
Old Wu was relieved: "It's not that much, I'll pay it back for you."
By earning extra money, Old Wu can earn an extra 100 or 200 yuan every year, and with dividends, it is still 200 or 300 yuan.
500 yuan, which is 2 years' dividends and external revenue, is affordable.
Bai Xiuwen shook his head: "Brother Wu, I think I can pay the money back myself. Let's talk about it after I pay it back. Lili and I may not be suitable for the time being."
After saying that, Bai Xiuwen didn't want to stay any longer, "Brother Wu, I'm going to work first."
Bai Xiuwen thought that if Wu Ge helped to pay back the money, he would be able to marry Lili and would have both money and favor.
If he treats Lili badly in the future, this matter will be brought up, and he will feel more guilty towards Lili.
In fact, he should have rejected Lili a long time ago, but Wu Ge was too good to him, which made it difficult for Bai Xiuwen to refuse.
Since you're asking now, I'll have no choice but to tell you. If I don't tell you now, I'll always tell you when you want. It's not a good idea to keep it a secret.
"Oh~" Old Wu shook his head, not knowing how to explain to Lili when he returned.
I can only finish the work first and think of a solution while I have time. Going back and telling Lili now would be like a bolt from the blue.
"How could this happen? How could I not have thought of this? Xiao Bai is new here, how can he find work without money?"
The more he thought about it, the more Old Wu regretted not finding out more about Bai Xiuwen's situation.
But then she thought, since Bai Xiuwen didn't want to marry Lili so early, why didn't he tell him earlier, so that he wouldn't waste a month.
It was almost noon and everyone came back after cleaning up the waste.
Old Wu was in no mood to collect waste, so he finished early and went home.
Old Wu's wife hurriedly asked, "How is it? How is it? Did Xiaobai agree?"
Lili looked at Old Wu with shining eyes, hoping to get a definite answer from him.
After a month of getting along, Bai Xiuwen knew when to advance and when to retreat, and he cared for her and protected her. For Lili, who was in love for the first time, she knew she had no choice but to marry him.
"Oh~" Old Wu sighed helplessly and shook his head.
Old Wu's wife patted Old Wu's shoulder and said anxiously, "Don't be silent, what happened? Tell me! I'm so anxious!"
"Xiao Bai said that he has no plans to get married now. He just wants to make money and pay off his debts."
Old Wu's wife said in disbelief, "Owed money? How could Xiaobai owe money? Could he have gone out to gamble? That's impossible for such a good child."
Lili also didn't believe that Bai Xiuwen would gamble. How could a man with such vision go gambling?
"It's not gambling. He bought his job with borrowed money. He wants to pay back the money first before considering marriage."
"How much did he borrow?" asked Old Wu's wife.
"500. I wanted to help him pay it back first, but he said he had to pay it back himself. Sigh~"
"How could this happen? Why didn't you find out more about the money he owed?"
"This is the first time I know this." "Then what should we do?" Old Wu's wife was at a loss and turned to look at her daughter.
"How could this be?" Lili's eyes were red, and she found it hard to accept this fact. Yesterday, she had already decided to marry Bai Xiuwen and had imagined a wonderful life in the future.
But today, a bolt from the blue suddenly came: Bai Xiuwen didn't want to marry her.
We had already talked about it to the point of discussing marriage, but suddenly they said it was not suitable.
"I don't believe it. This must not be what he thinks. I want to ask him in person."
"Yes, yes, yes. I want to ask him myself."
Thinking of this, Lili hurriedly went to find Bai Xiuwen.
Run straight to the scrap yard.
"Bai Xiuwen, Bai Xiuwen!"
Master Xiao looked at Old Wu's crazy daughter and immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Lili, Lili, what's wrong with you?"
"Uncle Xiao, where is Bai Xiuwen? Where did he go?"
"He just rode away on his bike. He must be going back to the yard."
After getting the information, Lili ran straight to Bai Xiuwen's yard.
During this month, she also knew where Bai Xiuwen lived and even went to see him.
"Lili!" Master Xiao was worried about Lili, so he followed her immediately.
Lili ran quickly and finally caught up with Bai Xiuwen.
"Bai Xiuwen! Bai Xiuwen! Stop right there!"
Hearing the noise, Bai Xiuwen stopped the car and looked back, only to find Lili running towards him with disheveled hair.
I suddenly felt guilty, knowing that she came to see me specifically because of what happened in the morning.
"Bai Xiuwen, why didn't you tell me that you owed me money? I can wait for you to pay me back and then marry me. I will wait forever."
Seeing Lili's somewhat crazy look, Bai Xiuwen felt even more guilty. If he had said it earlier and refused earlier, this would not have happened.
But compared to Lili, Bai Xiuwen knows better what he likes.
"Lili, I'm sorry. If I had told you earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
"It's just that I don't want to get married right now. I just want to make money. We are not suitable for each other."
"What's inappropriate? Tell me and I can change it. Just tell me!" Lili stared at Bai Xiuwen.
As the first person Lili dated, Bai Xiuwen treated her very well. Without any other comparison, Bai Xiuwen was the best.
Bai Xiuwen shook his head: "I'm sorry Lili, you are a good girl, but we are not suitable."
"You should pursue your own goals instead of wasting your youth with me. I'm not someone you can trust. I'm sorry."
I had obviously been very restrained and consciously distanced myself from Lili, didn't she feel it?
Bai Xiuwen didn't know that in Lili's eyes, his restraint was actually a deliberate way of keeping a distance.
They have been dating for more than a month. Logically, even if they don't kiss, they should at least hold hands. However, they have never held hands, let alone touched each other.
Bai Xiuwen didn't say that he had someone he liked because he was afraid of being accused of keeping the other person hanging, and he was even more afraid of letting Lili down.
If you say you have someone you like, people will accuse you of two-timing.
If I hadn't been too embarrassed to say it and had refused earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
Lili shook her head frantically: "No, I will not marry anyone but you in this life."
"Lili, you deserve to meet someone better. There's no need to waste your time with me. You're a good girl, but I'm not suitable."
"Lili!" Master Xiao hurried over, and behind him, Old Wu and his wife also followed.
"Lili, are you okay?" Old Wu's wife looked at Lili, whose eyes were red from crying.
"Brother Wu." Bai Xiuwen looked at Old Wu with shame. It was his fault that he did not refuse earlier.
"You" Old Wu pointed at Bai Xiuwen, not knowing what to say. Love is a matter between two people.
As for Bai Xiuwen's situation, he didn't find out the details.
"Mom!" Lili burst into tears and leaned on the shoulder of Old Wu's wife.
Hearing her daughter's miserable cry, Old Wu's wife was furious.
"Xiao Bai, I'm not saying anything bad about you! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Now that we're talking about marriage, I won't say anything else."
"I just want to ask you one question, do you like Lili? If you do, Old Wu and I will find a way to solve it for you. Isn't it just money?"
"We have money at home, so we'll give it to you. As long as you and your wife can live happily together, money or not is not a big deal."
Bai Xiuwen said nothing and remained silent.
Seeing this, everyone understood what was going on.
Old Wu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Xiaobai, it's getting late. Go back and cook for your sister."
"I'm sorry Lili."
"what!"
"Hurry up and leave!" Old Wu's wife shouted rudely.
Seeing this, Bai Xiuwen said nothing more and rode away on his bike.
After saying these words, he felt that the suppressed emotions in his heart were finally released.
The people around watched Bai Xiuwen leave and whispered to each other.
"What is this guy thinking? There is a girl he likes and she is rushing to his door, but he still refuses her. If I had such a good thing, I would have agreed directly."
"This guy is really something. If you don't want me, I want you. I'm worried about not being able to find a wife, but he doesn't even want the one who pays for me."
"Not only does he pay me back, he also helps me pay back the money. How can I find such a good family? I'll go find the matchmaker and ask who the girl is from. If he doesn't want me, I do!"
"Wait for two days until she calms down, then go and ask for marriage directly."
"Alas, this young man is so young and frivolous!"
Some people were glad to have gotten a bargain, while others felt sorry for Lili.
Old Wu's wife said, "Lili, let's go home. Isn't it Bai Xiuwen? We can meet someone better than him in the future."
Master Xiao also comforted him: "That's right, Xiaobai is just young, he can't do anything."
Old Wu's wife dragged Lili home.
Master Xiao asked, "Old Wu, what should we do with Lili? When young people encounter love affairs, they are always in great pain."
"Alas, what else can I do? Let's take it one step at a time. After a long time, I will naturally forget it. When the time comes, I will arrange a blind date for Lili. Sooner or later, I will forget it."
Old Wu plans to let time erase all memories, but for Lili, who is in love for the first time, it would be difficult to erase this memory.
Master Xiao sighed helplessly: "Alas, this is the only way. I don't know what Xiaobai is thinking. He never told us about his situation."
As Bai Xiuwen's foreman at the beginning, he didn't know that Bai Xiuwen owed money.
"Okay, that's it. We'll talk about the future later."
After this happened, Old Wu didn't know how to get along with Bai Xiuwen in the future.
It was he who let Lili and Bai Xiuwen get along. Now that this has happened, it is still unknown what attitude he will adopt in the future.
