Chapter 113: First Meeting with Yi Qin
Those who came to support were all city dwellers, including many unmarried young people.

The girls nearby who got the news used all sorts of means to get closer, hoping to meet a man of their dreams.

The most famous and promising one among them was Qin Huairu from Qinjia Village. She was the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages, and many young men nearby had fought with others to please her.

Qin Huairu never showed any affection to anyone. Because she knew that no matter how good these people's conditions were, they were all rural people, and they would have to face the loess and back to the sky all their lives. She didn't want to live such a life. She had dreamed of marrying to the city and living the life of a city dweller since she was a child.

After the founding of New China, the news about life in Beijing made her even more excited.

Qin Huairu had originally planned to ask her parents to find a matchmaker to introduce her to a man from the city. Unexpectedly, the man from the city came by himself, and she even saved the money for finding a matchmaker.

Qin Huairu came here as a volunteer with many other people to help. With his skillful tactics, he got to know all the people's confidence.

Other girls set their sights on unmarried young men, but Qin Huairu set her sights on Yi Zhonghai.

Although the young men are in good health, they have a natural defect, which is that they have no money.

In this regard, Yi Zhonghai has a great advantage.

He was a master chef in the steel mill, with a high salary and a good reputation. Because he was old, he must have saved a lot of money. More importantly, Yi Zhonghai had no children, so she would not become a stepmother as soon as she entered the house.

After having this idea, Qin Huairu began to contact Yi Zhonghai intentionally or unintentionally.

As for Yi Zhonghai, seeing such a beautiful girl around him, he worked more vigorously.

The young men around him did not regard Yi Zhonghai as a competitor. After all, no one would have thought that Qin Huairu would fall in love with a married man.

"Brother Yi, you must be tired. Drink some water first."

That’s right, Qin Huairu called Yi Zhonghai “Big Brother Yi”. Qin Huairu called him that when they met for the first time.

Others corrected her and said that Yi Zhonghai was almost forty years old.

Qin Huairu was also surprised and said: "Is this true? Brother Yi doesn't look like him at all."

No one likes to be treated as an old man, and Yi Zhonghai is no exception. His good impression of Qin Huairu is almost off the charts.

Despite being corrected, Qin Huairu never changed his words.

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "Huai Ru, I'm not tired. Go pour some water for others first!"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Brother Yi, everyone else is taking a break, you should take a break too. There is so much work to do, there is no rush."

Many people's eyes were on them, and the two of them did not behave in a friendly manner.

Some young people have high standards and keep their eyes on Qin Huairu, while some are very practical and hit it off with other people.

The news spread in the neighborhood and inevitably reached the ears of Qin Huairu's parents.

"Huai Ru, your thoughts are not opposed by your father and mother. We are also happy for you to marry into the city. But can you tell mother which boy you like?"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom, I'm attracted to Brother Yi."

Qin Huairu's mother was quite happy at first, but after a while she realized: "Who do you like?"

"Brother Yi."

Qin Huairu was so angry that she couldn't speak: "No. Aren't you ashamed?"

Qin Huairu said unconvincedly: "What's so shameful about this?"

Seeing that she could not convince Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu's mother gathered everyone in the family and planned to use the power of the team to convince her.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu's father sighed and said, "You've spoiled this girl." Qin Huairu knew that success or failure depended on this move, so he began to organize his words and persuade his family, "Dad, Brother Yi is really a good man."

"What does this have to do with being a good person or not? I heard that he's married? Have you forgotten the propaganda in the commune? You can't be someone's concubine. After all, he's just a worker. Is he qualified to marry a concubine?"

The title of concubine was to give Qin Huairu face. In fact, he wanted to say concubine.

Qin Huairu said: "Dad, although Brother Yi is married, he has no children."

"Didn't you hear what those people said? He has a very good relationship with his wife. He didn't even mention divorce when his wife couldn't have children."

Qin Huairu said confidently: "That's because he hasn't met the right person. I've seen it before. Brother Yi's eyes are full of envy when he looks at those children. What is he envious of? Isn't it just that he envies others for having children?
I believe in my judgment, and I am absolutely right."

Qin Huairu's sister-in-law was disgusted and said, "He is not much younger than our father. If you marry him, how can our family face others? I am too embarrassed to go back to my parents' home."

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "What's wrong with being old? Sister-in-law, you only think about the disadvantages of being old, why don't you think about the advantages of being old."

My sister-in-law asked doubtfully, "Are there any benefits?"

The others were also looking at Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu said, "Of course there are benefits. He is old, which means he has worked for a long time. He is also a master chef in the steel plant. I heard that his fixed salary alone is 700,000 yuan. This does not include overtime pay.

Let’s not count the past, because there were wars everywhere and ordinary people couldn’t save money. Let’s count from the day the country was founded.

He earns 700,000 a month, and there are only two people in his family. Let's assume that he spends 200,000 a month, and there is still 500,000 left. If you save 500,000 a month, how much is it in a year? How much is it in two years? "

The uneducated people were shocked by Qin Huairu's words. It took them a while to figure out: "Twelve million?"

Qin Huairu added: "At least this much."

hiss.

The whole family was shocked by the number.

With so much money, their family couldn't even get a fraction of it in two years.

Qin Huairu was very satisfied with the shocking effect and continued, "Brother Yi is still young and his salary will increase in the future. He is the only one in his family and does not need to take care of the elderly or children.
Tell me, should I marry a poor young man or marry him?

Her mother said hesitantly, "Don't you worry about him when he gets old?"

"By then, his and my children will have grown up, and we will rely on them in the future. Mom, if I marry Brother Yi, I can also help the family.

I'm going to marry a young man, and even if I want to help, I don't have the ability to do so." Qin Huairu threw out another bait: "When my disciple gets married, our family won't have to worry about the bride price."

"This……"

My sister-in-law, who had looked disgusted just now, now showed admiration on her face. Why didn't she have such insight when she got married? If she had such insight, she wouldn't have to suffer in the countryside.

With her looks, she can definitely find someone with similar conditions to Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu's elder brother and disciples were all somewhat tempted, but they didn't dare to speak out because of their father's thoughts.

After a long while, Qin Huairu's father put down his pipe and knocked on the table leg twice: "Huairu, have you thought about it? Do you regret it?"

Qin Huairu was delighted, knowing that he had passed the test, and said firmly: "Dad, my dream is to live a good life. I will find someone of similar age. Even if he works hard, I will have to suffer for a few years.

Brother Yi is different. If I marry him, I can live a good life right away."

Father Qin sighed: "As long as you don't regret it, that's good. Do whatever you want! However, there is one thing, you can't lose face for our family."
