Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Hearing his son say this, Huang Min's face became even gloomier.

When Gu Qiang and Zhao Wenjing were dating, Huang Min specifically asked about Zhao Wenjing's situation. When she learned that Zhao Wenjing was actually a self-employed person selling clothes, she felt very uncomfortable.

In her opinion, the Gu family was well off, with all three of them working in state-owned enterprises. Her daughter had just graduated and was already using connections to get a job at a battery factory.

As a result, the whole family, except for Gu Tong who was still in school, was on the government payroll.

Of course, she hopes that her son will find a wife like this.

Besides, she didn't think that her son, with such good conditions, couldn't find such a wife.

Unfortunately, Gu Qiang insisted on his own opinion and had already set his sights on Zhao Wenjing.

Just the day before yesterday, he specifically told Huang Min that Zhao Wenjing and his brother would be coming to their house today, and asked her to treat them well.

But the knot in her heart was still unresolved, so how could she feel that way?

"Wenjing, do you think this will work?" Huang Min still didn't give up and continued, "Qiangzi's father is an office director after all, and he knows a lot of people. After you get married, let him find someone to help him and work in a state-owned enterprise.

No matter how much money is made, as long as it is a state-owned unit, there will always be a guarantee for the future.

Besides, if you get married in the future, you'll have to have children. Self-employed people don't have much vacation time, but state-owned enterprises are different. If you find a good company, you can still get paid, have children, and take vacation time."

Originally, Zhao Wenhao didn't intend to say anything, but the more he listened, the more unhappy he became.

What's wrong with being a self-employed person? Do you think I'm eating your rice? I'm a self-employed person, and I'm no worse off than others!

"Auntie, you're really thinking ahead. But I think this is something for the future. Isn't it a bit early to talk about this now? We haven't even started planning yet, so why are you talking about having children?"

Zhao Wenhao said this with a smile, but his tone was not as happy as his expression.

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Wenjing, have an apple."

Gu Weigang saw that things were going to get bad, so he quickly interrupted Huang Min and picked up a freshly peeled apple from the table and handed it to her.

Huang Min was obviously a little unwilling, but since her husband had already spoken, she did not refute.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent and no one spoke.

At this time, Zhao Wenjing was holding the apple, not knowing whether to eat it or not, and felt very embarrassed.

Gu Qiang quickly stepped forward to help, "Gu Wei, your sister Wen Jing picked out a dress especially for you, and you haven't tried it on yet. You might not know, but this style is very popular right now and is often sold out."

After saying that, he quickly took out a piece of clothing from the pile of things, tore off the outer packaging, and handed it to Gu Wei.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Gu Wei took the clothes happily and rushed into the room with a whoosh.

"This kid doesn't know any rules. Why should he change his clothes now?" Huang Min finally smiled again. "Wen Jing, don't waste this money in the future. Save it for yourself. You will need to spend money a lot in the future.

Besides, I heard from Gu Qiang that your parents are farming in their hometown, and it's not easy for them. Buy them more good things in the future."

"That's as I should. I have a younger sister myself, and Gu Wei is just like my younger sister. Besides, both my parents have them." Zhao Wenjing hurried forward and said a few polite words.

"Yeah, bring your parents to the provincial capital for a visit when you have time. They work tirelessly all day, and it's not easy for them to raise you." Huang Min nodded, as if thinking of something. "Qiangzi, buy some Xuanzhou specialties and remember to bring them back to Wenjing's parents next time."

"Oh, I know." Gu Qiang responded, his scalp tingling.

Zhao Wenhao watched and listened coldly without speaking again.

However, he still heard something else from Huang Min's mouth.

Obviously, in Huang Min's mind, Zhao Wenjing, who only had a junior high school education, did not have a formal job, and was a country boy, did not catch his eye.

It was only because Gu Qiang was determined to do so that she accepted it reluctantly.

But the implication revealed between the lines was that the Zhao family was marrying above their station.

This made Zhao Wenhao very unhappy, especially he was worried that if Zhao Wenjing really married him in the future, she would be harassed by her future mother-in-law.

With Zhao Wenjing's personality, she is a submissive person, just like her mother Wei Chunlan.

If Zhao Wenhao doesn't take charge for her, no one else can help her.

As for Gu Qiang, he must be stuck in the middle and feeling uncomfortable. Neither this nor that is right.

"Brother Qiang, I see that your house is only about 40 to 50 square meters. If my sister marries us in the future, where will she live?" Zhao Wenhao deliberately looked around, pretending to be confused.

Gu Weigang, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up. "Wenhao, don't worry. Our tractor factory is doing quite well. If Qiangzi gets married in the future, he can apply for housing from the factory."

"Really? That's not bad." Zhao Wenhao pretended not to understand and said deliberately.

Huang Min proudly took over the conversation: "Of course, that's what I mean by the benefits of a state-owned enterprise. These are incomparable to those of a self-employed person. Qiangzi has been in the factory for several years and has been an advanced worker every year. He has the qualifications."

"Oh, I see." Zhao Wenhao suddenly understood, but continued to ask, "So, after they get married, how long will it take for them to get a house? And how much space can they be allocated?"

"Half a year at most, there will definitely be no problem." Gu Weigang patted his chest and looked very confident.

After all, he is the office director of the tractor factory. It should be no problem for him to say hello to a few leaders and give them some gifts.

"As for the area, it should be around 30 square meters. It should be enough for the young couple. Even if they have children in the future, it won't be a big problem.

Besides, Qiangzi has a high school diploma and has been doing well at the factory, so he has great potential for future advancement. He can even move to a bigger house. So, you don't have to worry about that."

Huang Min took over the topic and proudly introduced the situation to Zhao Wenhao.

"Half a year? Only 30 square meters?" Zhao Wenhao tutted his lips, shaking his head in dissatisfaction. "Will we have to squeeze in here for the next six months? Are we going to let Brother Qiang's younger brothers and sisters sleep in the living room?"

Zhao Wenhao pointed to the living room (which also serves as a dining room) which was less than 6 square meters.

Humph, since you despise my sister for being a self-employed person and a country girl, I also despise the fact that your family has such a small place.

"You kid, isn't that how it is in the city?" Huang Min was very unhappy. If the other party wasn't a guest, she might have lost her temper. "Our house is pretty good. Haven't you seen other people's houses? They're just 20-plus square meters, with six or seven people crammed into them, and they're still living there."
