Because he thought that Jiujiu was good, and there was no man in Jiujiu's house, and there was so much firewood that had not been chopped, Zhang Laosan would go to Jiujiu's house every day after finishing his work in the field to help Jiujiu do something that Jiujiu couldn't do.
In this way, Zhang Laosan worked at home during the day. When he went back at night, he would help Jiujiu. When he was done chopping firewood, Jiujiu would let Zhang Laosan help her clean up the fence. In short, Zhang Laosan would be called by Jiujiu eight out of ten days to help her with something.
Because he often helped Jiujiu with things, Zhang Laosan went home later and later. At first, Zhang Fugui and Li Huiru didn't feel anything, but after a long time, they inevitably had some doubts in their hearts.
On this day, Zhang Fugui estimated that Zhang Laosan was about to come back, so he went to squat in the yard and watched where Zhang Laosan went every day.
Looking at Zhang Laosan, who went back after eight o 'clock, Zhang Fugui's eyebrows instantly frowned. If he went back before eight o' clock, he wouldn't go back after ten o 'clock or eleven o' clock. What did Zhang Laosan do in these few hours?
Zhang Fugui was puzzled. He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and followed Zhang Laosan. When he saw Zhang Laosan not taking the shortcut but taking a detour, Zhang Fugui had a bad premonition in his heart. When he saw Jiujiu standing at the door waiting for Zhang Laosan, Zhang Fugui's eyes almost popped out.
Zhang Fugui naturally heard of Jiujiu's reputation.
This little girl was not only good-looking but also rich. It was said that she was from the city and had studied abroad. It was said that she had a car accident a few days after returning home from abroad. She felt that their place was beautiful and suitable for recuperation, so she directly came to settle down.
Moreover, who didn't know that Jiujiu had just paid to build a water tower some time ago?
Even the meanest and meanest old lady in the village couldn't say anything bad when she heard people talking about Jiujiu. After all, Jiujiu had paid for them to build a water tower.
At that time, Zhang Fugui was still thinking that if Boss Zhang was not married, he could still let Boss Zhang pursue Jiujiu. After all, Boss Zhang had studied, and he was fair and clean. Among the many people in the village, Boss Zhang was the fairest. Unfortunately, Boss Zhang was married. Zhang Fugui could only regretfully withdraw his idea.
But even if you beat Zhang Fugui to death, he would never have thought that Jiujiu would actually know Zhang Laosan. Moreover, she even let Zhang Laosan enter her house.
Zhang Fugui waited outside Jiujiu's house for more than an hour, but Zhang Laosan still hadn't come out. He could only leave with doubts.
When Zhang Laosan finished his work, Jiujiu took out the small biscuits that she had already prepared. After handing it to Zhang Laosan, she said, "Tomorrow, I will trouble Brother Zhang."
When he heard Jiujiu saying that she would trouble him in a soft voice, Zhang Laosan's bronze cheeks blushed. He said, "You're welcome. Then, I will go first."
"Right, my name is Jiujiu." Jiujiu looked at Zhang Laosan's back and whispered.
Zhang Laosan had helped Jiujiu for so long, but he didn't know what Jiujiu's name was. When he suddenly heard Jiujiu say his name, Zhang Laosan's blushing cheeks became hotter. He sighed and quickly left.
However, no matter how one looked at his back, it was as if he was fleeing in defeat.
After Zhang Laosan walked out of Jiujiu's house, his footsteps were a lot lighter. He took out a small biscuit that Jiujiu gave him and put it in his mouth. He only felt that his heart was sweet.
This time, Jiujiu gave very few biscuits. Zhang Laosan had already eaten them before he reached home. After eating the biscuits, Zhang Laosan put the bag that Jiujiu gave him into his pocket and pushed the door open.
However, the people in the house were not asleep as usual. Instead, the lights were on. They seemed to be waiting for him.
Zhang Laosan's eyelids twitched. After feeling that something was wrong, he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he decided to go to the kitchen to eat as usual.
Looking at Zhang Laosan eating as soon as he came home, Zhang Fugui was even angrier. He clenched his teeth and scolded, "This unfilial son. He doesn't know how to go home to help his family. He went to a girl's house to court her. Now that he is back, he still has the nerve to eat."
Regarding Zhang Fugui's anger, Boss Zhang actually somewhat empathized with him. During this period of time, Zhang Laosan came back late. The firewood used at home and some trivial matters became his. In the past, he didn't need to do anything and could live a day. Now, he had to be busy for most of the day and could only rest at night. He was used to living like a prince. Boss Zhang didn't want to continue to be tired.
However, Zhang Laosan and Jiujiu had a bunch of things that made Boss Zhang have a different idea. As a matter of fact, that Jiujiu was famous for being rich. If she really had any relationship with Zhang Laosan, then they would be the ones benefiting from it.
Boss Zhang pulled back the raging Zhang Fugui and whispered a few words of his own opinion in Zhang Fugui's ear. Only then did Zhang Fugui hold back the anger in his heart. However, his expression was still somewhat unsightly as he said, "That girl is from the city. She's so beautiful and even studied abroad. How could she fancy that blockhead Lao San?"
Although Boss Zhang agreed with Zhang Fugui's words, he continued, "Maybe the girl likes Old San's type. Otherwise, she wouldn't even care about Gao Hang's courtship. She would ask Old San for help."
Although Zhang Fugui felt that Boss Zhang was good, Boss Zhang paled in comparison to Jiujiu. At this moment, listening to Boss Zhang's analysis, Zhang Fugui was instantly brainwashed. He instantly felt that there was an eighty percent chance that Jiujiu had taken a fancy to Zhang Laosan.
If she didn't take a fancy to him, Zhang Laosan would stay with her until ten o 'clock every day. It would be strange if there was no problem when a man and a woman got together.
With this thought, Zhang Fugui's original anger was reduced a lot.
One had to know that Jiujiu was famous for being rich. If she really took a fancy to Zhang Laosan, he might not even need to pay a single cent of the betrothal gift. He might even be able to get a dowry.
Thinking of Boss Zhang's wife's recent abnormality, she was most likely pregnant.
Zhang Fugui felt that even if it was for his grandson, he had to get more money.
Farming was too slow to make money. He didn't know how to hunt. He didn't have much money to marry off his daughter. Therefore, if Zhang Laosan could really marry Jiujiu, then he would definitely make a fortune.
After Zhang Laosan finished eating, he took a basin of water to wash up. Then, Zhang Fugui and Boss Zhang came out.
Zhang Fugui looked at Zhang Laosan's strong muscles and tall head like he was looking at goods. He nodded with satisfaction.
Although Zhang Fugui wasn't as good-looking as Zhang Laoda, he was tall and sturdy. He was also famous for being capable. It was reasonable for the little girl from the city to take a fancy to Zhang Laosan.
