Chapter 497: How Unjust, Why Does It Have To Be Us! (1/2)
Mo Beihan was rather embarrassed, especially when Gu Jinhang and Gu Jinfeng shot him sharp looks. He said, “Perhaps that was true in the past, but it’s definitely not the case now. You know that all the girls in the brigade are avoiding me.”
“Pfft…” Gu Qingyao giggled. Of course she knew why. It was because so many children had suddenly turned up in Mo Beihan’s family.
Gu Qingyao said, “Sun Mei has always wanted to marry and move to the city. In the past, I could tell that she was trying to curry Gu Ruoqing’s favor, but she failed. But I have been to the city and the contrast between us is very stark.
“Now Brother Beihan’s family burdens are too heavy, so she is no longer considering him. In the entire Qing River and Southern Lake Brigades, only the Gu family has members who have managed to move to the city.
“Sun Mei’s family has experienced an upheaval. If she can marry you boys, she can live in the city!”
Gu Jinlin: “…”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Mo Beihan paused. He immediately grasped the crux of the matter. He burst out laughing when he looked at Gu Jinfeng. “I think that Second and Fourth Brother had better be more careful. Both of you are definitely her main targets.”
Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinhang immediately jumped. “Why does it have to be us?”
Their tone was aggrieved.
Gu Qingyao almost died of laughter.
Mo Beihan said, “Because the two of you are comparatively richer, and your family has no burdens! Only the five of you are adults. Eldest Brother has gone north and is unavailable. Third Brother’s family has to support younger children and has burdens. Only the two of you have good jobs and no burdens.”
Gu Jinhang: “…”
Gu Jinfeng: “…”
Gu Jinhang was still smiling. But when he spoke, his words were vicious.
“In these times, it is not easy for a village girl to marry and move to the city. But why is she so confident that we will like her?”
“That’s right! Why?” Gu Jinfeng was also enraged.
