Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Lin Geng sorted out his thoughts and said, "Brother Zhuzi, let me ask you, if Qin Huairu hadn't married Jia Dongxu, and someone introduced her to you, would you marry her? Tell me the truth, don't lie to me!"

Sha Zhu's face turned red again. After thinking for a while, he touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said awkwardly: "Well...well...if that's the case, well! I...I think it's okay!"

Lin Geng spread his hands and said, "Okay! Aren't we getting married? What does this mean? In fact, you don't care whether your wife is from the city, has a job, or is educated! To put it bluntly, you have only one condition for marrying a wife, and that is beauty! As long as she is beautiful and virtuous, it's fine, right? Don't deny it, because you said that if she looks similar to Qin Huairu, you have no objection!"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was stunned again. He scratched his head and thought about it carefully. He felt that it seemed to be true. If the woman looked similar to Qin Huairu, then even if she was not from the city, had education or a job, it didn't seem to be that important. It seemed that his only obsession was to find a beautiful wife who could compare with Qin Huairu.

After hearing what Lin Geng said, Xu Damao burst into laughter on the spot, slapping the table and laughing: "Lin Zi is still very clear-headed! Master Zhu seems to think so. In fact, Master Zhu's only requirement is that she is beautiful! Haha!"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, but he didn't get angry. If it had happened in the past, if Xu Damao dared to make fun of him so unscrupulously, he would have smashed Xu Damao's face with his sandbag-sized fist on the spot!

But today, apart from feeling a little embarrassed, he was not annoyed. After all, he could not hold his head up in front of Lin Geng. These words were said by Lin Geng, so he could not be annoyed, let alone turn the table and get angry.

So Sha Zhu scratched his head and could only smile helplessly and said, "From what you said, Brother Lin, it seems to be the case!"

Lin Geng smiled and continued, "I treat Brother Zhuzi as my own brother, so I won't hide anything when I speak! Brother Zhuzi, don't be angry, you should know that I have no bad intentions towards you, I just want you to find a wife as soon as possible, so that some wicked people will not always think about you!

Listen to my analysis! Let's talk about it one by one. You have admitted that you mainly want to find a beautiful and virtuous wife. As for whether she is from the city or has a job, it is not important! What is important is that she is beautiful and virtuous, right?

In fact, with your current conditions, you have a house, a job, and a skill. If you want to find a wife, do you still expect your wife to have a job and help you support the family? We are all men in the city. Can you be the kind of man who wants to live off others? Impossible!

So you don't have to worry about whether she has a city hukou or a job when you marry her! Can't you afford to support your wife? Even if you want to find a woman with a city hukou, with your skills and connections, after you find a wife, you can just find some ways to arrange a job for her. How difficult can it be?

At worst, we can arrange for her to work in the canteen of our steel mill. Wouldn't it be great if you two can follow the lead of your husband? When your sister-in-law gets a job, won't she be able to transfer to a city hukou?"

Sha Zhu listened to Lin Geng's analysis and nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, yeah, Lin Zi, what you said makes sense, it really is true! With my skills, how could I need my wife to make money to support my family? As a man in the old city, we can't afford to lose that person!"

"Well! Since there is no problem with these two points, let's talk about whether you have culture or not! If I remember correctly, Brother Zhuzi, you are only in junior high school and haven't finished it yet, right?" Lin Geng continued.

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Yeah, that's right. When I was a kid, life was hard at home. My dad only let me study in the junior primary school for a few years and the senior primary school for one year. It was not peaceful at that time. There were wars all the time. I didn't study for many years before I started selling buns on the street with my dad!"

"I understand! I understand! It's not shameful for you to have less education at your age! But what I want to say is that you may not know that if the educational level of a couple is too different, life will not be easy! Because you have no common language. For example, she has read a lot of books, but you haven't. When talking about these topics, you will be speechless, and she will think you are vulgar and look down on you!

Therefore, when looking for a wife, you should find one who has a similar level of education and cognition to you, so that you can live a good life!

Brother Zhuzi, do you understand what I am saying?" Lin Geng said earnestly to Sha Zhu.

After listening to this, Sha Zhu rubbed his chin and pondered along with Lin Geng's thoughts. After pondering for a while, Sha Zhu nodded helplessly and said, "It seems to make sense. It's really the case! I don't have a high level of education, so it's really not suitable for me to find someone with a high level of education!"

"Isn't it settled now? In fact, all you need to do is find a pretty, virtuous wife who knows how to manage the household, a wife who loves you, and who can give birth to a few children for you, then you will live a happy life! Brother Mao, do you think I am right?" Lin Geng spoke again.

Xu Damao ate the food on the side and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, Linzi is right! Master Zhu, just listen to Linzi, it's absolutely right! You are already 25 or 26 years old this year. If you don't find a wife quickly, you will be 30! When can you have a son?"

Sha Zhu sighed, picked up his glass, clinked glasses with Lin Geng and Xu Damao and said, "Alright! Let's go one by one! I've lived so many years longer than Lin Zi, but I still don't think as clearly as Lin Zi! That's the truth! I'll listen to Brother Lin Zi more in the future! I'll do whatever Lin Zi says!"

Lin Geng clinked glasses with Sha Zhu and drank them in one gulp. The three of them continued to eat and drink. After a few glasses of wine, Lin Geng said, "Since Brother Zhu has figured it out, I will take care of this matter! I will get my work permit soon and then go to the countryside to purchase goods. During this period of time, I will help Brother Zhu find a beautiful and virtuous wife!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was delighted. He immediately filled Lin Geng's glass with a smile and handed it to Lin Geng. He smiled and said, "Okay then, the matter of your brother Zhuzi marrying a wife is left to you, brother Linzi! Come on, I'll toast you a glass. You have to help brother Zhuzi more! If it works out, I will definitely thank you very much! I'll treat you to a good meal!"

Lin Geng took the wine glass and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuzi, let me make it clear first. After you get married, you can't ignore me for food. I still have to eat with you guys in the future! Don't ignore me as a brother after you get married! Don't let my sister-in-law kick me out, otherwise I will suffer a great loss!"

"How could that be possible! Your brother Zhuzi is not that kind of person. I was too stupid before and was deceived by Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, so I did that. I will never do that again in the future! I can't thank you enough! How could I do such an ungrateful thing again!

"Damao is here too. He is here to bear witness to us today. If I am ungrateful again, I will die a miserable death!" Shazhu said hurriedly and solemnly.

"Not really! I feel relieved when you say that!" Lin Geng said hurriedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll be a witness. I'll remember what Master Zhu said today! Master Zhu, you can't beat me up at will in the future! Otherwise, Lin Zi is here too, and we can't agree to it!" Xu Damao hurriedly picked up the wine glass to join in the fun.

"Okay! As long as you don't make me angry all the time in the future, I will never hit you again! I'm looking for a wife, and you can't ruin my plans again!" Sha Zhu smiled at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao immediately patted his chest and said, "What are you talking about? You used to beat me up before, and that old dog Yi Zhonghai always favored you, always forcing me to suffer. I was so angry that I cheated you!

Now we have talked about it, the past is over, when you are looking for a wife in the future, I will be busy helping you, how could I possibly do anything bad to you again!

Brother Lin, please bear witness. If I do something bad to you again and ruin your good deeds, you can beat me up as much as you want. Even if I beat you to death, I deserve it, okay?"

The three of them burst into laughter and drank happily.
