Chapter 40: Lu Zhenting: I Can’t Have Children

The people in the team basically finished their work and arranged the rest of their time by themselves.

When they completed their work, no one paid much attention to where they went.

Otherwise, according to Su An, it was indeed easy for people to notice something was wrong when the educated youth who went to the countryside didn’t participate in labor.

But because Lu Zhenting and Guo Miao went to the fields, they attracted the attention of many team members.

Before the two of them went to the fields, the team members didn’t know that the two new male educated youth were so capable.

Now, seeing that Lu Zhenting and Guo Miao were both good at work, many people had some small ideas, especially some girls in the production team.

Not only were they capable, but they were also different from the country people; they were very good-looking.

Previously, the girls in their countryside had liked the male educated youth from the city, but their families said that good looks were useless. Look at these male educated youth who went to the countryside; one was weaker than the other.

If they really got married, could they be expected to support the family? Good looks cannot be eaten, and ability is the hard truth.

Lu Zhenting and Guo Miao were different. They were good-looking and good at their jobs, so they would definitely be recognized by their families.

The next day, when Lu Zhenting and Guo Miao were waiting to go to work, they saw several old ladies coming over.

Although Lu Zhenting was more handsome, he always had a cold face, which made people feel that he was difficult to approach.

Several old ladies valued Guo Miao more. This guy seemed to have a good temper and was easier to get along with.

So when Guo Miao was working, several old ladies surrounded him and asked, Guo Zhiqing, do you have a partner?

Guo Miao was stunned for a moment. Why did they ask him this? The aunts in the production team were really enthusiastic; they even cared about whether he had a partner.

When they heard Guo Miao say no, several old ladies’ eyes suddenly showed joy. It’s good that he doesn’t have a partner; only their girls have a chance.

So one of the old ladies said, Hey, Guo Zhiqing, I see that you are not young anymore, it’s time to talk about marriage.

Let me introduce you to a daughter of mine. Our daughter Xiaohong is well-known in the surrounding area.

She has a big butt and is good at giving birth. Many people proposed to her before, but I was reluctant to let my daughter marry off.

Another old lady quickly said, Little Hong, don’t brag. Your daughter Xiaohong is not good-looking. How can she be worthy of Guo Zhiqing?

It’s better for her to date my daughter Lili. My daughter Lili is pretty. She and Guo Zhiqing are a good match.

How come your Lili is fine? She is a sickly girl. What’s the point of having good looks? If she can’t lift anything, can she manage the household? Marry a virtuous woman. A woman should not be worshipped, but should be useful.

At this time, another old auntie intervened, My Yuanyuan is the most suitable for Guo Zhiqing. Both Lili and Xiaohong are uneducated and can’t read a few words.

My Yuanyuan is different. She is a junior high school student, educated, and can talk to these educated youths from the city.

People who live together for a lifetime must have a common topic, right? If they can’t talk, it would be so boring.

Several aunties were arguing about their daughters. Look, they were arguing and then started fighting.

Guo Miao: …

Damn it, he never thought that he would be so popular one day.

But even if these aunties wanted to introduce their daughters to him, Guo Miao was not interested.

He came here to carry out the mission, not to find a partner. He might leave after completing the mission; it would be troublesome to find a partner.

Women would only affect the speed of his gun drawing. He was still young, so of course he had to put his career first.

Guo Miao thought that these old ladies were fighting because of him, and it would not be good if he did nothing to watch, lest he be called a male vixen by the people in the team.

Thinking of this, Guo Miao raised his voice, Well, aunt, stop arguing, I won’t consider any of your daughters.

After Guo Miao finished speaking, several old ladies looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Guo Zhiqing, what do you mean? Do you look down on us country people?

Yes, do you want to find a girl from the city? You have gone to the countryside now, and it is not easy to find a girl from the city, and the girls in the city are not as good as our country girls.

Look, how pampered are you female educated youth from the city? It is most suitable to find a local girl from us!

Guo Miao hurriedly explained, Aunts have misunderstood. It’s not that I look down on country girls. I just don’t want to waste your good daughter.

Several old aunts looked at Guo Miao, waiting for him to continue.

Guo Miao sighed heavily, and then continued, Aunts, you may not know that my family is not well off, and I have several brothers and sisters. My father is disabled, and my mother is paralyzed in bed.

My parents said that if I find a partner in the future, I won’t have a penny for the bride price, and the girl will have to pay for the dowry.

Oh, by the way, after we get married, you have to help with the housework and serve my mother…

As soon as Guo Miao finished speaking, several old aunts who originally had ideas about Guo Miao immediately stopped talking.

If their daughters were allowed to marry under such conditions, wouldn’t it be like deliberately jumping into a fire pit?

An old lady couldn’t help but ask, Guo Zhiqing, are you kidding? Can you find a wife with your family’s requirements?

Guo Miao said seriously, I also think it’s hard to find a wife, but I have to take it slowly, just in case I can meet someone who accepts my family’s requirements.

After all, my family’s conditions are a bit poor, but I’m handsome, maybe there are silly girls who like me and are willing to marry me.

Several old ladies looked at Guo Miao with indescribable eyes.

What a mess?

The old ladies who were originally vying to introduce their daughters to Guo Miao all dispersed around him.

Lu Zhenting was next to Guo Miao, listening to Guo Miao’s nonsense with his mouth twitching. If Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo knew what Guo Miao had made up, I wonder if they would break this kid’s legs.

When these old ladies left Guo Miao, they set their sights on Lu Zhenting again. At first, they liked Guo Miao, but Guo Miao was not good, and Lu Zhenting was not bad.

Lu Zhenting looked at the old ladies who were surrounding him and felt something was wrong.

Lu Zhiqing, you don’t have a partner, right? How about I…

Before the old ladies could open their mouths, Lu Zhenting replied seriously, Aunt, I don’t want to delay your good girl.

I’m not good at that and I can’t have children. If a girl marries me, she will be a widow for the rest of her life.

When Lu Zhenting said this, the old ladies were dumbfounded.

They originally thought that Guo Miao’s conditions were a little poor, but they didn’t expect Lu Zhenting to be even more outrageous.
