Lin Zhi has a good understanding of himself.

He was physically robust and good-looking, after all, he had the genes of an old man. His only flaw was that he was exposed to the wind and sun all year round, which made his skin a little rough and his skin a little dark. Standing there, he looked like a big black bear.

This was merely a flaw in appearance. Apart from that, the Lin family were genuine rural people, while this family lived in the county town and usually associated with refined and cultured scholars, not so vulgar.

When eating, you have to sit properly at the table, unlike them who can just squat on the threshold and pick up their bowls to eat.

It is said that city dwellers bathe with water poured over their heads and have separate bathrooms, while in the summer, boys can simply jump into the river for a bath.

In winter, he would just carry a bucket of water to the pigsty, grab a rag, and wipe the pigsty clean. How could a rough man like him date a delicate, fair-skinned girl from the city?

No wonder no one would even look at me.

"Second brother, don't think like that!"

“Our family is doing quite well now. If we’re just talking about wealth, this family might not be as rich as the Lin family!”

"As for other aspects, this family has good personalities and isn't too particular. Second brother, you are honest and hardworking, and you care about your family. If you marry a wife, she will definitely be a loving husband. She's so good to our family, so she'll definitely be good to your father-in-law's family in the future."

"You have a great personality. Don't look down on yourself. Trust me!"

“Now my older sister and I are both married and have children. What about you? Don’t you think about yourself? You should think about your parents too. If you don’t get married, what will your parents think? They will worry about you. Just listen to me and give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll introduce you to someone else!”

Lin Fan looked at Lin Zhi and earnestly tried to persuade him.

When it comes to relationships or marriage, it all comes down to mutual consent. At the very least, Second Brother has to agree that he wants to get married. If he absolutely refuses, then all the efforts Lin Fan and the others put in will be in vain.

Lin Zhi thought about it and also felt that Lin Fan's words made a lot of sense.

Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to get married, it's just that the circumstances didn't allow it before. Now that he has the means, he can certainly give it a try.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi nodded somewhat hesitantly: "Well... alright then, I'll listen to you and give it a try!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, that's more like it! That's more like my second brother, straightforward and easygoing. Come on, I'll take you inside!"

……

Upon entering the tailor shop, Lin Fan, as usual, inquired if there was anything he could help with. After chatting for a while, he gave the family some instructions on things to keep in mind, and that was the end of it.

Normally, Lin Fan would have already left, but today he had something more important to discuss with the elderly couple, so he lingered a little longer.

"Uncle Xie, Aunt Xie, come here for a moment, there's something I'd like to ask you!"

Lin Fan glanced at the distance not far away.

Xie Hongye sat quietly in front of the sewing machine, busy at work. Her second brother, who was also a restless person, noticed that the sewing shop was a bit messy, so he took it upon himself to move things and start tidying up.

Seeing that neither of them had noticed them, Lin Fan waved to the Xie family elders.

Xie Yuan and Lu Guihua asked a few questions, then walked up to Lin Fan with smiles and asked, "Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Fan glanced at his second brother and introduced him to the elderly couple with a smile: "Uncle Xie, Aunt Xie, this is my second brother."

“I just came back from the construction site yesterday. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he and I will be the ones looking after things here from now on.”

"Actually, I wanted to ask you two elders if you are interested in arranging a marriage for Sister Hongye? My second brother is not married yet either. To be honest, I really admire such a good girl as Sister Hongye. If she could enter the Lin family, it would be a blessing for our Lin family."

"Although it might seem like I'm marrying above my station, what family doesn't want a good wife? You all agree, right? Today I'll have to ask you two if you have any plans for this. If you do, I'd like to have Hongye try to get to know my second brother."

Lin Fan spoke concisely and humbly, which made the elderly couple laugh.

Xie Yuan glanced at Lin Zhi, who was working diligently and had a tall, muscular build, and laughed, "Brother Lin is quite the smooth talker; he's even worrying about his second brother's marriage!"

"Actually, my daughter is in her early twenties, long past the age to get married. We've been worried about her, but we haven't been able to find a suitable person."

"We know your family quite well, Mr. Lin. They seem like nice people. We, the old folks, are certainly willing to help. However, we still need to ask the young lady's opinion. If she doesn't object, we can try letting them get to know each other and see if it can lead to marriage!"

Upon hearing this, a broad smile immediately appeared on Lin Fan's face.

Well, as long as his parents don't agree, he has a lot of confidence in his second brother.

What's wrong with men being a little rough around the edges?

My second brother is good-looking and has no physical defects. Apart from being illiterate and a bit too honest, he is impeccable in every other way.

He has his own financial support and there are no problems with that. Why can't he find a good girl to match him with? Besides, maybe Xie Hongye likes the second brother's type.

"Haha, okay, Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie, then I'll go talk to Sister Hongye and my second brother and ask them to try getting to know each other first!"

"If we really can't get along, then so be it. But if we can, then our business will be like a family business behind closed doors, and it will be much smoother to cooperate!"

The elderly couple naturally trusted Lin Fan completely. Despite his young age, Lin Fan was very capable, and his words were reasonable and well-organized.

So they all smiled and nodded: "Okay, then Brother Lin, you go and mention it to them. We old folks have no objections!"

What could they possibly have to say? Just as Lin Fan said, although his family lived in the county town, they didn't look down on people from the countryside.

Moreover, Lin Fan can earn so much money a month now. From an economic point of view, it would be their family marrying up if their daughter married into Lin Fan's family.

"Alright, you two keep an eye on things, I'll go tell them!"

Lin Fan walked up to Xie Hongye, who was operating a sewing machine, with a smile and said, "Sister Hongye, are you busy?"

"What's wrong, Brother Lin?"

"Ahem, Sister Hongye, let me introduce you. This is my second brother. He just got back yesterday. Second brother, come over and say hello to Sister Hongye."
