C8 Don't Joke Around

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

The Songjiang University of Science and Technology Games were over.

Lin Fei received his prize and returned home.

His family lived in Longgang Village.

His house was a bungalow.

Today was Sunday.

Therefore, his mother, Zhang Huizhen, did not go to Songjiang City to sweep the streets, and she was at home.

"I won first place in our school's long jump competition and got a reward of 400 yuan." Lin Fei looked at his mother and said happily.

"Not bad." Zhang Huizhen smiled gratified.

But in her heart, she felt bitter.

Children from poor families mature faster.

So was Lin Fei's case!

Since young, she never gave Lin Fei a good life, but he was still so sensible.

Ever since he entered university, whenever he was free, he went to work part-time.

She felt sorry for her son.

She really wanted Lin Fei to lead a good life.

But there was nothing she could do!

Now, working as a janitor in Songjiang City, her monthly salary was just over a thousand yuan.

So she couldn't do much to help Lin Fei!

"You don't have to pay me my living expenses this month." Lin Fei said with a smile.

Four hundred yuan was enough for him to spend for a month.

His requirements were not high.

At school, he could eat his fill every day.

"Well then, I will save this month's salary and use it to organize your wedding in the future," Zhang Huizhen said with a smile.

"Mom, don't joke with me. It's not like you don't know our family's condition." Lin Fei said with a bitter smile.

Nowadays, there were more men than women.

And the girls had very high expectations from men.

Because of his situation, it was too difficult for him to find a wife in Songjiang City.

"I'm not joking with you. When your father was alive, he made a promise to Zhao Wangsheng. After you graduate, you will marry Zhao Wangsheng's daughter." Zhang Huizhen stopped smiling and said seriously.

When he was alive, Lin Fei's father, Lin Ziyang, had saved Zhao Wangsheng's life.

After which, the two concluded this pact.

After so many years, Zhang Huizhen still remembered this matter.

"I have a marriage agreement with Zhao Wangsheng's daughter?" Lin Fei was dumbfounded.

"Yes, your father saved Zhao Wangsheng's life back then. That's why they made this agreement." Zhang Huizhen explained.

"Mom, what kind of person is Uncle Zhao's daughter?" Lin Fei was curious.

"I went to their office and saw Zhao Xiaoli, your uncle Zhao's daughter." Zhang Huizhen smiled brightly.

And then.

She continued, "Zhao Xiaoli is very beautiful. I think you two are very compatible."

Hearing this, Lin Fei's expression darkened.

Since Zhao Xiaoli was very beautiful.

In that case, her standards should be very high.

Would Zhao Xiaoli like him?

Lin Fei had a huge question mark in his heart.

"Feizi, your father saved Zhao Wangsheng's life. He will definitely marry his daughter to you." Zhang Huizhen saw Lin Fei's face darken and comforted him.

Lin Fei did not say anything.

Time passed quickly.

The next day.

Lin Fei woke up early in the morning.

He and his mother had breakfast and were preparing to go to Songjiang City.

But.

Just at this time.

A middle-aged man brought a girl in her early twenties to their house.

Seeing them, Zhang Huizhen seemed very enthusiastic.

She smiled and said, "My dear, Xiaoli, why are you here today?"

The visitors were none other than Zhao Wangsheng and his daughter, Zhao Xiaoli.
