Ma Suyun seemed not to catch the meaning behind Qian Chuncao’s words, and laughed, "What other important matters are there? Aren’t we talking about important matters right now? This is a huge joyous occasion for Lihua’s lifetime. To find such a good son-in-law, who will go to work with her earning salaries together—their life will be truly enviable."
If there weren’t outsiders around, Qian Chuncao would have wished to spit in her face.
Already calling him ’son-in-law,’ as if she had already given her face.
If it weren’t for her interference, she would have already become a factory director’s mother-in-law. Now, what a shame it is for her daughter, she still acts like they’ve picked up a great bargain. If it wasn’t for her own daughter’s matters, and there weren’t outsiders present, she could have skinned Ma Suyun right now.
Fortunately, the subsequent matters weren’t complicated. The main thing was for both families to meet and agree. If no objections arose, the rest could be handled by a matchmaker.
When the time was nearly up, the Cai family was ready to leave.
They had come in a tractor, but Cai Jun rode his bicycle here alone.
He needed to go back to the worker’s dormitory and wasn’t heading the same way as his family.
Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong had arranged to go see a car today, and after sending off the Cai family, they left directly.
Cai Jun watched Lin Chuxia’s departing silhouette for a long time, then turned to Qin Lihua beside him and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about, is it convenient now?"
Qin Lihua looked towards her parents, and before Qian Chuncao could say anything, Ma Suyun said, "Oh, it’s convenient. What’s not convenient? You are about to be engaged, what is there to fear?"
Qian Chuncao, holding back in front of the new son-in-law, really endured a lot, and finally turned back into the house.
She was afraid if she stayed any longer, she couldn’t help but start tearing into Ma Suyun.
Qin Liang gave Cai Jun a warning look and also went back inside.
Ma Suyun, having made herself uninteresting, saw that both Qin Jiang and Lin Chuxia had also left, and no longer felt like staying.
"Let’s talk in the courtyard."
Qin Lihua was happy inside. No matter what, she genuinely liked this man.
Now that they were engaged, as her Aunt had said, both of their salaries were good, and they would definitely live well in the future.
Growing up, she had seen plenty of her parents working the land. Her biggest wish in life was to escape the village and marry someone with a job.
The two entered the courtyard and stood under a large tree there.
"What did you want to talk about?"
Qin Lihua looked at Cai Jun with bright, twinkling eyes, feeling that Cai Jun was both the same as usual yet different.
Today he was quieter than usual. She thought they wouldn’t talk much.
Cai Jun looked at her for a moment and said, "I am planning to resign."
Qin Lihua’s smile gradually froze, "Why?"
They both earned fifty or sixty at the Bun Shop every month, which is a hundred together—more than what a factory worker makes.
Seeing that she really didn’t understand, Cai Jun simply said, "I plan to resign, and I hope you will too."
This completely unsettled Qin Lihua, "Why? If we both resign, what will we do?"
Ever since she knew the Cai family would come to propose, she had begun planning their beautiful life together.
