After Auntie Wang left, Zhang Lanhua looked towards Zhao Tianhe, considering introducing a good girlfriend to him.
Now that they had a house in the Capital City, as long as they worked hard and steadily, life would only get better and would not be worse off anywhere.
Meanwhile, Auntie Wang had gone to Wang Dongmei’s home.
She did not see Wang Dongmei.
Instead, she saw Wang Yuemei, who was cleaning.
"Where’s your sister?"
Wang Yuemei looked at the visitor, one of her relatives from the neighboring room.
"My sister went out. Auntie, were you looking for my sister for something?"
"Youngest sister, you’re 20 years old, aren’t you?"
Dongmei was a pretty girl, but Yuemei was somewhat less attractive, yet still good-looking. If she put on a bit more weight, she would look even better; she was too skinny.
"Yes, I’m almost 20."
Wang Yuemei was currently working as a temporary worker on the middle shift.
"Do you have a partner?"
Wang Yuemei shook her head, "Auntie, I don’t have a partner."
Auntie had just introduced a match for her sister a couple of days ago, but the man’s family reportedly asked for too high a bride price, to which they did not agree.
Is Auntie planning to introduce someone to her now?
"Did Dongmei tell you about the bride price of 500 and ’three turns and a sound’?"
Three turns and a sound?
Didn’t the man’s family disagree?
"My sister came back and mentioned the bride price. The man’s family found it too high and refused," she said.
Auntie Wang had not expected Wang Dongmei to come back saying that.
Why was the man’s family saying something different?
"Your sister probably didn’t fancy Xiao He. Although he isn’t good-looking, he works at an electronics store, makes a good monthly salary, is still attending night school, and has even bought a small courtyard house."
Auntie Wang turned to Yuemei immediately, "Youngest sister, you’re not getting any younger. How about going with Auntie to meet him? This young man is truly nice; otherwise, Auntie wouldn’t have introduced him to your sister. It’s just that your sister missed her chance with him for lack of fate."
"Auntie..." Wang Yuemei hesitated a little.
"Would your auntie deceive you, niece? Look at how cramped your house is. Now that you’re working, you can only move to the dormitory, yet you still have to come back to clean your own home every day. You need to make some plans for yourself; your parents only have eyes for your two brothers."
Wang Yuemei’s eyes flickered. With both brothers married, the house was even more crowded, and she had to come back to clean and help with the laundry whenever she had time.
It had been for years.
In winter, her hands were full of chilblains.
Auntie Wang took Wang Yuemei directly to the electronics shop.
"Xiao He, come out for a moment," Auntie Wang called out Zhao Tianhe as soon as she arrived at the electronics store.
"Auntie, please have a seat here, and this comrade too," he offered.
Was this comrade the date for Xiao He from the other day?
Her complexion was somewhat sallow, her hair a bit frizzy, her frame slightly frail, and her face would look better if it were fuller.
Now, however, she seemed quite ordinary.
Wang Yuemei felt a little awkward; this electronics store was not small, and it showcased many appliances, some of which she had never seen before.
Zhao Tianhe came over, surprised that Auntie Wang had brought another lady with her.
Wang Yuemei’s gaze shifted towards Zhao Tianhe. He wasn’t as unattractive as Auntie had described, was he?
Zhao Tianhe, currently dressed in work clothes, stood just over 1.7 meters. Perhaps due to frequently delivering goods, he appeared quite sturdy, and as for his looks, he had a square face.
