"How old is he? Who’s in his family? Is he really sincere with you?"
"His name is Han Yi, he’s twenty-four this year, and he only has a grandma at home. They have a big courtyard, and he earns more than thirty a month. He’s been a soldier for eight years, and he’s saved quite a bit himself, just waiting for the two of us to get married..." She hasn’t had any options right now, so she can only tell Mom the good stuff.
"So what you’re saying is, you’re thinking of marrying him?" Lin Yinghui didn’t expect it to be so sudden, although he was a bit angry, he ultimately didn’t say anything. He felt guilty towards his sister, and in other aspects he could satisfy, he would do his best to give.
He also hoped his sister would find a good man.
"Of course, I’ll let him come to our home first to meet you all. If you don’t object, we’ll definitely get married... Mom, are you not agreeing?" Lin Wan’s biggest worry now was that, because of Dad’s example, Mom wouldn’t agree.
Liang Hongmei glanced at her nervous daughter, though she was angry, she didn’t dare say a harsh word to her daughter.
Actually, she had already come to terms with it, not to dismiss everyone because of one person. Now she just hoped that her son and daughter could have a good life. She would be content for the rest of her life.
"Bring him home sometime, let’s meet him."
"...Mom, you agree?" Lin Wan didn’t expect her mom to be so calm, even calmer than her brother. She intended to explain things to Mom more.
Liang Hongmei gave her daughter a sideways glance, sighed, and said, "Mom has come around these last two years, as long as he’s good to you, Mom doesn’t have any objections."
"Little sister, he’s just an ordinary soldier, and... things haven’t been peaceful these years." Even last year, it was still not peaceful.
"Brother, he’s now in the S City County District, just leading soldiers now." Actually, Lin Wan wasn’t very aware if Han Yi would go to the front. In her previous life, she didn’t really care about Han Yi’s affairs in the military camp.
Even hearing little sister say so, Lin Yinghui was still a bit uneasy.
Two days later, Li Congnan came with a young guy in his twenties, saying it was his cousin, Yang Jianye. A technical school graduate, because of academic qualifications, work was hard to find. In recent years, he had been running business for a flour factory for a few years.
After Yang Jianye came, Lin Yinghui gave all the work in the workshop to Yang Jianye.
Yang Jianye had been out working for a few years and was quite smart; he found two middle-aged women nearby to specifically handle fruits.
After Lin Yinghui freed up his hands, he went directly with Li Congnan to run the business. The two of them took charge of two districts each.
Lin Yinghui went to run business in the morning and went to the store in the evening.
During this time, Lin Yinghui had been diligently helping his sister inquire about school matters. Originally, he thought of finding a high school for his sister to follow along and review for a year, and take a local university exam. He believed his sister could definitely get into a financial university.
He just didn’t expect Li Congnan to tell him that S City University of Technology wasn’t bad, they had evening classes there, and as long as you could pass their school’s tests, you could directly study university courses. Hearing the school’s professor say, the evening school at S City University of Technology was quite official, and the teachers there were all renowned professors. After three years, you’d receive the same diploma, and the country equally acknowledged the university education. This made Lin Yinghui genuinely happy. Little sis wasted her academics all for this family, and she even had to attend night school to manage their store. This had always been a sore spot for him. Given this win-win situation, Lin Yinghui immediately signed his sister up.
Now that there was an opportunity, he couldn’t let little sis miss out. He didn’t want his sister to just muddle through marriage. Little sis was still young, and she had a long life ahead of her. Just because she didn’t realize it now, doesn’t mean she wouldn’t regret it later. He didn’t want little sis to regret it in the future.
It’s just that the industrial night school had requirements; you must pass their August exam selection to enter. Otherwise, even if you wanted to attend, you couldn’t get in.
After all, coming out with a university education, high requirements were to be expected. A good school has a high starting point, Lin Yinghui had no objections and even thought it was a good thing.
