Chapter 119 I Just Want to Keep It for Myself

"."

When Xu Yuying heard what Tian Guixiang said, Li Guoqiang's tall and handsome face emerged in her mind, and she couldn't help feeling depressed.

She didn't expect that after being picky for so many years, she finally met a man who was excellent in all aspects, but he turned out to be disliked for her age.

what is this?
Is this asking for trouble?

Tian Guixiang looked at Xu Yuying's silent face and became anxious. She then asked hurriedly, "Tell me the truth, what did Qiangzi tell you? Did he really say that you were too old?"

"no!"

Xu Yuying shook her head and replied softly, "He just said that he is only 19 years old and is not in a hurry to find a partner."

"That's it?"

Tian Guixiang's eyes widened, her face full of speechlessness.

Afterwards, she couldn't help but reach out and poke Xu Yuying's head, and then she started to say, "You silly girl, no one dislikes your age, you just got scared away by hearing someone say that, where did your previous energy to dislike others go?"

"You've grown up so much, don't you know now that good things have to be stolen?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If you give up this time, you will never find such a good man again."

"That"

Xu Yuying glanced at Tian Guixiang, a look of hesitation on her face, "What should I do now?"

"How to do?"

Tian Guixiang was slightly stunned, then glared at Xu Yuying with an unpleasant look on her face, "What else can you do? Just go after him!"

"Forehead"

Xu Yuying's expression froze, and then she asked awkwardly, "This is too embarrassing!"

"Ouch!"

When Tian Guixiang saw Xu Yuying like this, she couldn't help but stamp her feet in anger, "My silly girl! It's already this time, and you're still telling me it's shameful. If you can't get married, that would be really shameful!"

Xu Yuying: “.”

"okay!"

Tian Guixiang knew that it was impossible for her silly girl to put aside her dignity and pursue Li Guoqiang, so she waved her hands and said, "I don't think I can count on you for this matter. I will go find your aunt Chunmei and ask her to ask Qiangzi to marry me."

"no!"

Xu Yuying's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly refused, "Mom, I don't agree. This is absolutely not possible."

"Why?"

Tian Guixiang frowned, then asked in confusion, "Aren't you attracted to Qiangzi?"

"Who said I have a crush on him?"

Xu Yuying blushed slightly, and said in a somewhat stubborn tone: "I don't like him at all!"

"Besides, even if, even if I really like him, he should be the one to ask Aunt Chunmei to come and propose marriage."

"Otherwise, if people knew that I, a broadcaster of a commune, had chosen so many people, but ended up chasing after someone else, wouldn't I be so embarrassed?"

"you"

Tian Guixiang was slightly stunned, then angrily scolded: "You have no dignity at all! You are already in your twenties, it's good enough that someone wants you!"

"Anyway, we finally found such a good man for you this time. If you still can't succeed, don't blame us as your parents for not caring about you in the future!"

"Alright, alright!"

When Xu Yuying heard what Tian Guixiang said, her temper flared up, and she immediately said angrily, "I know my own business, there's no need for you to worry about it!"

After saying that, she turned around and went into the inner room without caring about Tian Guixiang's reaction.

"Hey~ Are you still throwing tantrums at me?"

Tian Guixiang looked at Xu Yuying's back and was so angry that she started shaking all over.

Thinking about how she had been worrying about Xu Yuying's marriage for so many years, her nose suddenly felt sore and then she started to cry.

"Mom, calm down first. I think Yingzi just can't let go of her pride for the time being. Give her some time until she figures it out!"

When Li Xiuqin saw this, she hurriedly walked forward, patted Tian Guixiang on the back, and spoke softly to comfort her.

When Tian Guixiang heard this, she couldn't help crying and said, "Xiuqin, how could she be so ignorant?"

"I just said that to her, wasn't it all for her own good?"

"After the Chinese New Year, she will be 24 years old. In our village, girls her age have children who are already old enough to help with cooking. How can I not be anxious?"

Li Xiuqin looked at Tian Guixiang, who was angry and anxious, and couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Although she didn't really want Xu Yuying to get married so soon, she could put herself in her shoes. She was a mother now and would definitely have to worry about her child's marriage in the future. At this moment, she really couldn't tell Tian Guixiang not to worry.

At the same time, Shen Wanpeng, who was sitting on the kang in the inner room, saw Xu Yuying coming in, and immediately asked expectantly: "Yingzi, does Li Guoqiang regret it?"

"regret?"

Xu Yuying was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then asked in confusion, "What do you regret?"

"What can I regret?"

Shen Wanpeng's expression straightened up, and then he said seriously: "Of course I regret not agreeing to sell the bear paw to me!"

"Forehead"

Seeing Shen Wanpeng's confident look, Xu Yuying's mouth twitched slightly, and then she said unhappily: "I don't know if he regrets it. If you want to know, you can go to his house and ask him yourself!"

After saying that, she walked straight into the westernmost room without waiting for Shen Wanpeng to react.

"Hey"

Seeing this, Shen Wanpeng was about to call out to Xu Yuying, but was interrupted by Xu Guangfu.

"Purchaser Shen, I think you should just forget it!"

"How can this be let go?"

Shen Wanpeng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he quickly retorted: "Uncle, you should know that this bear paw is to be purchased and used to entertain county leaders."

"If we can't bring the bear paw back and entertain the county leaders, who will take responsibility?"

"Then it's up to you."

Xu Guangfu's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Are you asking me to take on this responsibility?"

"no!"

Shen Wanpeng saw that Xu Guangfu's face was not right, and he quickly reacted, then waved his hand and explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that Li Guoqiang is too unreasonable and has no dedication at all." "Look! I have already set the price to 5 yuan per catty, and he still wants to wait for the price to rise. Do you think he is reasonable?"

"Uncle, this reception is related to the grain quota of our commune next year. You must help that kid and make him contribute his bear paw."

"We must not allow his selfishness to affect the collective interests of our entire commune."

"Feel sorry!"

When Xu Guangfu heard Shen Wanpeng's shameless words, he shook his head without thinking and refused, "I can't help you with this matter. The four bear paws were distributed to Li Guoqiang by the decision of all members of our Jinshanbao, so there is no reason for me to ask someone to hand over the bear paws again."

"If you have any objections, feel free to report this matter. I want to see what the leaders of Majiadian Commune will say!"

Shen Wanpeng: “.”

When Xu Guangfu saw Shen Wanpeng's speechless expression, he couldn't help feeling annoyed and contemptuous.

snort!
Do you really think that I, Xu Guangfu, was brought up by fear?
When I followed the Marshal to fight the Japs with bayonets, you bastard were still wearing open-crotch pants!
You also say that it affects the collective interests of the commune, but I think it affects your interests!

At this time, Shen Wanpeng also realized that he had said the wrong thing because he was too anxious, and hurriedly opened his mouth to try to make amends.

"Uncle, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

"We are going to be a family in the future, how could I blame you!"

"Hey!"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu quickly stretched out his hand to interrupt Shen Wanpeng's words, "Don't say that, our family doesn't dare to marry someone too high!"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Wanpeng was slightly stunned, then asked anxiously: "Didn't you agree that Yingzi and I could be together before?"

"Which ear did you hear me agree with?"

Xu Guangfu's expression became serious, and then he said in a deep voice: "I just said that I won't interfere with Yingzi's choice. Now, has Yingzi agreed to be with you?"

"I'm warning you! If you dare to tell others that Yingzi is your partner without Yingzi's consent and ruin her reputation, I will never forgive you. Do you understand?"

"I heard it clearly!"

When Shen Wanpeng saw Xu Guangfu's murderous look, he felt a slight chill on his back, then nodded with embarrassment and spoke.

"okay!"

Xu Guangfu didn't care about Shen Wanpeng's feelings at this time. He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late now. I won't delay your work. You should take the bear meat back as soon as possible! Otherwise, if you accidentally lose the bear meat in my house, I can't bear the responsibility!"

Hearing this, Shen Wanpeng's face suddenly became even uglier, and then he hurriedly forced a smile, nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll take my leave first, and I'll come to visit you at home when I have the chance in the future!"

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the west room. He wanted to go find Xu Yuying to say hello, but he was worried that it would make Xu Guangfu even angrier.

After thinking it over, he could only walk out somewhat aggrievedly, and then drove the carriage borrowed from the commune to Li Guoqiang's house.

Now, since there is no way to get Xu Guangfu to help force Li Guoqiang to surrender, in order to complete the task of purchasing bear paws, he can only take the initiative to find Li Guoqiang and surrender, and see how he can sell the bear paws to him.

When Tian Guixiang saw Shen Wanpeng leaving, she hurried into the inner room and told Xu Guangfu about Xu Yuying and Li Guoqiang's blind date.

After hearing this, Xu Guangfu suddenly felt a headache.

He never imagined that now that he had finally found a man that Xu Yuying liked, due to age issues, Xu Yuying couldn't let go of her face and pursued Li Guoqiang.

"Dad, I can't do anything about your precious daughter now. What do you think we should do about this?"

When Tian Guixiang saw that Xu Guangfu didn't say anything, she couldn't help but ask in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"What to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Guangfu first murmured a question to himself, and then hesitantly suggested: "How about we wait until tomorrow morning to find Qiangzi and have a good talk with him, and let him take the initiative to pursue Yingzi?"

"Are you OK?"

Tian Guixiang's eyes widened, and then she said in astonishment, "How could you come up with such a bad idea? What kind of parents would ask others to come and woo their daughter?"

"It would be fine if they agree to it, but what would you do if they don't agree?"

"Forehead"

Xu Guangfu was slightly stunned, then he said angrily: "This won't work, and that won't work either. So what do you say we should do?"

"I"

Tian Guixiang opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

Just when the old couple were worrying about Xu Yuying's marriage, Shen Wanpeng also drove a carriage to the gate of Li Guoqiang's house, and then shouted a few words at the top of his lungs.

"Li Guoqiang, Li Guoqiang!"

"Hey, who is it?"

Soon, Li Guoqiang responded and walked out of the bathhouse.

"Li Guoqiang, I'll give you an extra dollar per pound. Now you can sell me the bear paws, right?"

When Shen Wanpeng saw Li Guoqiang, he felt slightly happy, then he hurried forward and asked.

"Feel sorry!"

Li Guoqiang frowned, then shook his head without even thinking, and refused, "I've already told you before, I won't sell this bear paw, please go back!"

After saying that, he wanted to turn around and go back to trim the drainage hole he had just drilled.

However, before he could take a few steps, Shen Wanpeng grabbed his arm and asked righteously, "Do you know that these four bear paws are to be taken back to entertain the county leaders?"

"As a member of our commune, how can you be so selfish?"

"Besides, I've already offered you a high price of 6 yuan per pound. What else do you want?"

"I didn't think anything of it!"

Facing Shen Wanpeng's repeated questioning, Li Guoqiang's eyes narrowed slightly, then he shook his head seriously and said, "I just want to keep it for myself."

"cut!"

When Shen Wanpeng heard Li Guoqiang's answer, he immediately said with some contempt: "Don't pretend with me. Can you bear to eat such expensive bear paws?"

"After all, aren't you saying this just to make more money?"

"I'm unlucky today to meet someone as greedy as you!"

"Now just name your price! I want to see how big your appetite is."

Li Guoqiang looked at Shen Wanpeng's self-righteous look and shook his head in his heart. Then he shook off Shen Wanpeng's hand with a little force, turned around quickly and walked into the bathhouse, not even bothering to say a word to Shen Wanpeng.

When Shen Wanpeng saw this, he was stunned.

How was this different from what he had imagined?

Originally, he had planned to wait for Li Guoqiang to quote a high price with an ecstatic look on his face, and then he would rip him off. Then he would go back with the bear paw and report Li Guoqiang's profiteering to the commune, and have them arrest Li Guoqiang!
