Guizhi, this is Lin's mother's name, her full name is Zhang Guizhi.
Lin's mother's friend's name is Li Yue'e.
In fact, Li Yue'e wanted to put it more tactfully, as in, she wasn't really sure about the results of the two children's blind date, and she thought that the adults should just let the children get in touch with each other and let the matter rest.
That way, it would look better.
However, as she had told her niece, she and Zhang Guizhi were very close, and if she said that, and Zhang Guizhi took it seriously and missed the opportunity for Lin Yun to go on a blind date with another girl, then she would be very sorry for her friend.
It's the end of the year, and many young men and women who work away from home have returned, so it's a good time for matchmaking.
Lin Yun is not young anymore, so there's no time to waste.
Besides, they are close, so they can say a lot of things directly.
'It's fine. Yun is actually having a girlfriend, and I just found out about it. I even asked him to go on a blind date with your niece today, so I should be the one feeling embarrassed,' Lin's mother said with a smile.
Originally, she had no intention of mentioning this matter, but her friend had been so direct that she was also a little embarrassed for a moment. She could only bring up this matter in response to save face on her side.
'Yunzai has a girlfriend?' Li Yue'e exclaimed in surprise.
'This is a good thing. It can only be said that Yunzai and Yanyan were not meant to be together...' Then Li Yue'e let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
The two of them spoke for another ten minutes before Lin's mother went home.
'It's a pity. Yunzai is a child we have watched grow up. There is no doubt about his character. He is now making tens of thousands of yuan a month and should be doing well. It's a pity that Yanyan doesn't fancy him, and the other person also has a girlfriend...' Li Yue'e sighed slightly and said.
'He has a girlfriend who can go to hell. If he really had a girlfriend, would he be willing to spend two or three thousand yuan to take Yan Yan out to dinner? I guess their family is afraid of losing face, that's why they said that. He makes tens of thousands of yuan a month, so he says he does, and I say I make thirty thousand yuan a month!' A man was lying on a chair reading a newspaper. When he heard this, he couldn't help but put down the newspaper, pursed his lips, and said.
This man was Li Yue'e's husband, Lin Minghui.
He had never been very happy with this friend that Li Yue'e had made. The family grew and sold vegetables, and they didn't have much savings each year. What was the use of having such a friend?
Well, it was still somewhat useful.
The other party often gave them some vegetables for free.
But how much were those vegetables worth?
He didn't owe them much gratitude.
'What do you mean by that? Gui Zhi is not that kind of person, and neither is their family!' Li Yue'e frowned in dissatisfaction.
'Okay, okay, don't worry about your niece. Your niece is not bad-looking, so you're worried that she won't find a good partner? Even if Lin Yun makes tens of thousands of dollars a month, what's the big deal? Right now, prices are rising so fast that tens of thousands of dollars a month might not even be enough to cover expenses in a big city! Back home, tens of thousands of dollars a month is more like it!' Lin Minghui waved his hand and said,
'Don't be so picky. Look at your niece's best friend, she's getting married in two days. What a good family her husband-to-be comes from! The man is a civil servant, and his father is the director of a research institute! If Yan Yan could find such a good husband, our family would benefit. Not to mention that in Xianyuan County, who would dare bully us?' After a pause, Lin Minghui thought of something and said with a tone of envy.
'You're only thinking about the benefits! You have high standards, but I'm afraid that if you set your sights too high, you'll end up with nothing! Besides, who can say what will happen in the future? If it's your turn to suffer, you might marry someone who has problems, even if they're a good catch. If it's your turn to enjoy the good life, you might marry someone who suddenly becomes successful, even if they're a bad catch!' Li Yue glared at her husband and said crossly.
'I think Yunzai is not bad. He's been like a promising person since he was a child...' After a pause, Li Yue'e said.
'Heh! If he were promising, do you think he would have quit high school after graduating? What kind of promise can someone who hasn't even gone to college have? By the way, Yan Yan is a college student, and you're introducing a female college student to a male high school student? Really!' Lin Minghui said with a disdainful smile.
'I'll put it this way: if he has a future, I'll give you my head to kick around like a ball. I don't think he'll earn more than ten thousand yuan a month at the most. Maybe the other person is just a labourer on a construction site. There are a lot of construction workers out there making a lot of money. You're right, that's actually possible. The boy has been practising martial arts since he was young and has a lot of strength. Think about it, the other person has no education, so apart from construction sites, where else can they find a job that pays tens of thousands of yuan a month...'
...
'Brother, can I discuss something with you?' Lin Duer said apologetically while tidying up Lin Yun's room.
'What is it?' Lin Yun asked curiously.
'It's just that there are a few boys at school who want to chase after me. I don't want to pay any attention to them, but they are rascals, so I want you to teach them a lesson...' Lin Duer's face flushed slightly as she said this.
'Haha, I see. I'll go to school with you tomorrow and take a look. I can't believe there are punks who would dare to hit on my sister. They really don't want to live anymore. Back in the day, your brother was the school's punks killer...' Lin Yun laughed and said.
'Great, brother, you're so nice!' Lin Duoer said excitedly.
Then Lin Duoer turned around and left happily skipping.
Seeing this, Lin Yun laughed and shook his head.
He guessed that the matter was not as serious as his sister had said.
However, since his sister had said so, he would just go and check it out.
After all, as long as his sister was happy, that was all that mattered.
Lin Zhuang was not a big place, and there were not many people of Lin Yun's age.
In the evening, some young people learned that Lin Yun was back and invited him to play cards, but Lin Yun refused.
After that, it was quiet.
The next day, Lin Yun went to school with his sister.
'Xiao Hua, this is my brother!'
'Nan Nan, this is my brother!'
Along the way, Lin Duoer cheerfully greeted each girl she knew, and each time she introduced Lin Yun to the other person, which made Lin Yun unable to help but feel a little speechless.
However, Lin Yun was also very gratified.
It was clear how proud he was of his younger sister.
'Is that Lin Duoer's brother?'
'Is he the legendary Lin Yun from our school?'
'He's so handsome!'
'Very mature and handsome, looking different from the immature and childish boys in our school, well...better than those delinquents in society...'
Some girls secretly looked at Lin Yun and whispered.
As some girls spoke, their little faces turned slightly red.
Lin Yun had good hearing, and he heard the low voices of many students. He felt a little amused.
Not to mention, his sister was right, these little girls really liked him, leaving him at a loss for words.
However, at the same time, he heard something interesting.
Something about his sister.
