Chapter 2 The Jia Family’s Resentment
Li Zhiguo saw Jia Dongxu, who was not tall and thin, and looked depressed.

"Hey, I don't think this is called running away. The girl definitely doesn't like Jia Dongxu." Sha Zhu gloated.

Suddenly, Shazhu was slapped on the head by He Daqing. "Shazhu, stop talking nonsense here."

At this time, He Daqing had not yet run away with the widow and was working as a chef in a steel mill.

After a while, all the important people in the courtyard arrived.

"Old Yi, you guys should help judge the matter. It's a blessing for Dongxu to like a country girl.

How dare you run away without making a sound? This is a slap in the face of my Jia family."

Jia Zhang had to make a fuss; she couldn't let anyone look down on the old Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, you are in a hurry. Maybe the girl has been delayed by something. Let the matchmaker go and ask clearly."

"That's right, you're just on a blind date and you haven't settled down yet."

Xu Damao followed suit and said that he was interested, but unfortunately he had a rural household registration.

Jia Zhang said dissatisfiedly, "I've been looking for it all afternoon, Mrs. Wang, you must give an explanation for this matter."

The matchmaker, Wang Dasao, was not to be outdone, "Ms. Jia Zhang, just assume that Qin Huairu doesn't like your Dongxu. I've worked in vain."

"What do you mean you worked in vain? My Jia family even had to pay for a meal."

Jia Zhang refused, and her Jia family suffered a loss.

"What's wrong with the food? It's just a small plate of meat. Qin Huairu didn't even touch her chopsticks. I was watching her."

Mrs. Wang broke free and started firing at full speed.

The two middle-aged women were spitting at each other and almost came to blows, but were fortunately pulled apart by a few middle-aged ladies.

"Okay, let's discuss this matter carefully and don't let others laugh at us."

It was only after Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and took charge that the two men calmed down.

Jia Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Sister Wang, go to Qin Huairu's house and tell her that Dongxu is willing to give her a chance.

My Dongxu is a worker, so she got a great deal by marrying into our family."

Jia Zhang was angry and thought that she would punish Qin Huairu after she got married.

"Okay, then I'll make another trip."

Mrs. Wang was also unwilling to accept this and she wondered what had happened.

"Everyone, please go away." Liu Haizhong shouted. There was nothing exciting to watch now.

Li Zhiguo was holding something in his hand and was about to leave.

"Hey, Li Zhiguo, are you not going to live anymore?"

Yan Bugui came closer, twitched his nose, and smelled the meat.

Li Zhiguo was holding a cloth bag filled with wine and meat from the supermarket.

"Uncle, if I eat enough, my whole family will not be hungry. Can't you eat something good?"

"That's right. How about I come to your house to have a chat?"

Yan Bugui hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he wanted to go and beg for food.

"No thanks, I like to eat alone."

Li Zhiguo had no intention of making friends with the people in the hospital. He just wanted to live his good life by himself.

"Tsk, what the hell is that?"

Yan Bugui couldn't help but curse, saying that with a man like Li Zhiguo, he would never be able to get married in the future.

But when Jia Zhang returned to the room, she immediately looked unhappy.

At this time, Jia Dongxu came in and said with a sad face: "Mom, I want Qin Huairu, I like her."

"Don't worry, Dongxu, this is your wife and she can't get away. She has eaten our food.

She just wanted more betrothal gifts, but we refused to give in to her, so she went to make trouble if she didn’t marry me.”

Jia Zhang felt that she was right in this matter.

When Li Zhiguo returned home, he saw the mess in the house and couldn't help but sigh that he still needed a wife.

After the meal, I took out the money and counted it. It was really not enough!

"Have it!"

He can collect rent.

Li Zhiguo has four real estate certificates.

I looked at the time and realized I hadn't gotten off work yet, so I jogged to the street.

"Comrade, I have three shops that I would like to entrust to the street office to rent out for a long term." Li Zhiguo stated his purpose directly and was waiting for money.

"Are you a merchant?" The staff member's look immediately turned bad. It was no longer glorious to be rich now.

"I'm not a merchant. My ancestors were poor farmers and I'm a worker. This shop was left to me by my grandfather after he passed away.

I'm just a worker, and there's no use for the shop, so I just want to rent it out."

Li Zhiguo must explain clearly, otherwise he will not be able to keep his position in the future.

"So that's what's going on. No problem then. Did you bring the title deed with you?"

The staff's attitude improved immediately.

"I brought it. This is the property certificate."

The staff was delighted when they saw it, "So the preserved fruit shop in Dongliulichang was your grandfather's ancestral property. It's a time-honored brand, but it's been closed for many years."

"That's right. My grandpa's factory has been handed over."

In Li Zhiguo's memory, his grandfather's store was a real time-honored brand.

"Okay, I still remember the location. Please register here and I'll let you know when there's a letter."

The rent that the staff mentioned is for renting to a collective, such as a state-owned store, a street-level store, etc.

"Thank you. I am the only one in my family. I just got a job and haven't saved any money. This money is just right for me to marry a wife."

Li Zhiguo didn't mind being so long-winded because these things would most likely be registered in the landlord's background.

After registering, Li Zhiguo left without hesitation. Giving gifts was not popular now. He rented out the shop to earn some visible income.

The next morning, he was worried that he would wake up late, but his biological clock woke him up naturally.

I bought a few meat buns and a cup of soy milk from the supermarket, ate my fill, changed into work clothes, and went out to work.

It only took about ten minutes to reach the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

There are more than 2,000 people in the factory now. He works as a fitter in the second workshop. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu from the institute are also in this workshop.

When I first entered the workshop, I found everyone was gossiping.

"Have you heard that Jia Dongxu went on a blind date yesterday, but the girl ran away halfway through."

"He ran away without even saying hello. I guess he didn't like Jia Dongxu."

"Not really. Jia Dongxu is Master Yi's apprentice. When his skills improve and he is promoted, his salary will be quite high."

The workers find work boring and gossiping can help them pass the time.

But this made Jia Dongxu suffer, he had to hide in the corner and didn't dare to get close to the big team.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore and stepped out to stop them, but he still couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm for gossip.

Li Zhiguo was slacking off, thinking that the embarrassment was still to come.

In the original drama, Qin Huairu was a big pitfall for others, but a blessing for the Jia family. Now that she has been snatched away by him, it is time for the Li family to enjoy the benefits.

The boring morning passed in a flash. As soon as the bell rang, the workers rushed to the canteen with their lunch boxes.

Although Li Zhiguo has a supermarket that provides rewards, he can only follow the crowd in the factory.

His physical fitness was far superior to that of the other workers, and he was the first to arrive at the canteen.

When he looked up, he saw Xu Damao slowly approaching the window. He quickly sprinted forward, pushing Xu Damao aside and getting to the front. This could also be considered as intercepting!
"Who, who is so fierce?"

Xu Damao was squeezed and almost fell down. When he looked carefully, he found that this was an acquaintance.

"Li Zhiguo, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Li Zhiguo ignored him and turned to the window and said, "Two white noodles, two hot dishes."

"Master Li, you don't want to eat Erhe noodles today?"

The person serving food at the window could not be Liu Lan. It could be another woman who could actually call out his last name before he even entered the factory.

"I'll only eat white flour from now on. The doctor said my stomach is not in good condition!"

Li Zhiguo found a reason to pretend to be sick.

"Virtue!"

Xu Damao muttered behind him, "You still have a bad stomach, how can you still eat soft rice?"

Just when Li Zhiguo got the lunch box and flour, the system prompt sounded.

This system is a bit stubborn, it won't react unless you intercept it.

"Ding! The host succeeded in intercepting the male supporting role in the courtyard!"

"Reward evaluation in progress. The reward to the host is two dollars and fifty-seven cents. It has been put into the host's space."

Oh my god! This time the reward for intercepting is too bad.

But it's normal, after all, this interception does not require much technical skills.

I took a bite of the white noodles, which were not bad. I took two bites of the vegetarian dishes, which were also very good. It was no surprise that it was He Da's cooking skill.

At this moment, Li Zhiguo was wondering what Qin Huairu said after she returned yesterday.

But at this time, the matchmaker Wang Dasao arrived at the Qin family in time for dinner.

"Mrs. Wang, why are you here?"

When Qin's mother saw the matchmaker at the edge of the dam, her face looked unhappy.

"Sister Qin, is Huairu at home? She ran away without a word yesterday. I have to come and ask about the situation."

When the matchmaker saw the person's face, she knew that something might go wrong.

"At home, Mrs. Wang, please come in. We need to talk this out." Mother Qin led her into the house.

The Qin family had just returned from working in the fields and were resting in the main room. Qin Huairu had two younger brothers, who were also at home.

"Huai Ru, what happened yesterday? Listen to me, Jia Dongxu took a fancy to you..."

The matchmaker took the initiative to talk about the advantages of the Jia family, and at the same time she also guessed what kind of accident had happened?
Who knew that Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "Sister Wang, no need. I don't like Jia Dongxu."

"Why don't you like him? He's a nice guy, a worker, and has a mother to help him at home. If you marry him, you won't have to work. If you miss this good family, you'll never find it again."

The matchmaker knew very well what the Jia family was like.

It is true that Qin Huairu does not have to go to work because there is no job, but it is not necessarily true that she is living a good life!

Before Qin Huairu could speak, Qin's mother took over the conversation, "Jia Dongxu is still an apprentice and has to support an old mother. His sewing machine will be bought with Jia Dongxu's father's pension.

The Jia family only has one room. How will my daughter live there after she gets married?"

"Sister Qin, you are right, but Jia Dongxu will be promoted sooner or later, and he will have no problem supporting the family then.

The pension is also a family asset. Besides, what’s wrong with a house? It’s in the capital.”

The matchmaker was eloquent and resolved the problem in no time.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu said, "Sister Wang, you don't have to talk about Jia Dongxu anymore. I have found someone better."

"A better person, who? Qin Huairu, you won't be deceived by others."

Mrs. Wang was shocked. Who had intercepted this?

“I wasn’t fooled!”

Qin Huairu saw the large courtyard and the three large shops with her own eyes.

Mother Qin also said, "Sister-in-law Wang, my daughter has made up her mind. As for the marriage proposal from the Jia family, we do not agree to it."

"No, elder sister, this matter..."

The matchmaker wanted to say something but was driven away.
