They had only met once.
I had to borrow my own radio.
"I'll listen to it at home for a few days and then send it over to you."
"No rush. If you want to listen, you can listen for a few more days. Anyway, my older brother has a radio, so I can go to his house to listen."
Just as Yu Haitang was holding the radio and about to go out...
He Hongyang came in.
It was him.
Yu Haitang exclaimed with delight, "Big brother, you've come!"
What the hell!
This is something that's not even close to happening yet, and he's already calling me "big brother."
His gaze fell on the radio in her hand.
Before Sha Zhu could explain...
He said directly, "Someone at your sister-in-law's workplace wants to borrow your radio for a few days, and I was just about to come and get it."
Their family has a radio, Mom.
"But I already promised Yu Haitang."
"Don't forget he works at your sister-in-law's workplace. Anyway, Yu Haitang works at the factory's broadcasting station, so she can listen to whatever she wants without any problem."
Take the radio from her hand.
Fortunately, he arrived in time.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that once Yu Haitang took the radio, she would never return it.
Yu Haitang looked embarrassed.
The duck that was almost in my grasp just flew away!
However, he still pretended to be indifferent.
"It's okay, I can listen to it whenever I want. I'll be going now, I'll bring it another day."
Watch her leaving.
Sha Zhu kept waving at her.
"I'm sorry about what happened today. I'll definitely deliver the radio to your house myself another day."
Judging from his posture.
Could it be that he has fallen for Haitang?
He Hongyang pulled him aside and asked.
"What were you doing inside just now?"
"Listen to the radio!"
"Besides listening to the radio, what else did you do?"
"Nothing done."
"Such a good opportunity, why didn't you seize it?"
When he realized what he was talking about, Sha Zhu scratched his head sheepishly.
"Brother, what are you saying? He's my colleague."
"She practically offered herself up; isn't that a clear indication that she wants to date you?"
"Oh dear, she's a young lady after all. You mustn't let her hear what you're saying. If she does, she'll think I'm trying to take advantage of her."
"Nonsense, since they've offered themselves up, why not take advantage of it?"
Sha Zhu stared at him with wide eyes: "Big brother, so you're saying you agree to me dating Yu Haitang, agree to me dating her, and agree to us getting married in the future?"
Why is he so dense?
Does taking advantage of someone necessarily mean getting married?
Since we didn't gain any advantage at all.
To prevent Sha Zhu from getting into even deeper trouble, we need to make this clear to him.
Do you know Yu Haitang?
"She works at our long-distance radio station."
"Besides this?"
"She's the prettiest girl in our factory. I didn't realize it before, but seeing her today, I realize she's really beautiful. She's only 18 this year, which is the prime of a woman's life. If I were to marry her, wouldn't you be especially happy for me?"
"If you were asked to marry a woman who has been divorced, would you be willing?"
Sha Zhu jumped up immediately.
"What 'second-hand woman'? You mean Yu Haitang?"
He Hongyang nodded.
He stared in shock, his mouth agape.
"Impossible. As far as I know, she rejected everyone in the factory who wanted to date her. She's so young, she must be very naive. How could she do something like this?"
"Is someone spreading rumors about her because they can't win her over? These people are absolutely despicable!"
It seems it only took an afternoon.
Sha Zhu developed feelings for him.
Fortunately, He Hongyang arrived in time; otherwise, he would have been stuck in the mire again and unable to get out.
"I'll ask you one more time, would you marry a divorced woman?"
Sha Zhu shook his head like a rattle: "I wouldn't take her even if she were given to me for free. She's already second-hand, why would I marry her?"
"Then let me tell you, Yu Haitang is a second-hand product. I saw her with my own eyes with a man."
Sha Zhu's pupils dilated in shock.
Looking at He Hongyang, he said incredulously, "Brother, could you be mistaken? Besides, how could you possibly see something like this?"
"This afternoon, she and that man did this in the courtyard!"
Silly Pillar felt like he could hardly breathe.
This afternoon?
In other words, Yu Haitang was with another man before she came to find him?
"Who is he? Is he one of the Yan brothers?"
Sha Zhu was so angry that he cursed on the spot: "That old bastard Yan Bugui, he's never satisfied with taking advantage of others. His eldest son's girlfriend is Yu Li, so Yu Haitang must be his second son's girlfriend. Since the Yan brothers have their eyes on the Yu sisters, why did they introduce them to me?"
"I'm going to find him right now and I'll break that old bastard's leg so he can stop lying to me and taking advantage of me again."
Seeing Sha Zhu's exasperated look, He Hongyang grabbed him.
"It's not the Yan brothers, this man is Xu Damao!"
"My mother-in-law and I just saw them in the vegetable cellar."
"Then they went inside the house..."
Sha Zhu never dreamed that Yu Haitang would actually be involved with Xu Damao.
Xu Damao had a bad reputation in the factory. He took advantage of his position as projectionist to flirt with other women and had no respectable relationship with them.
Yu Haitang will look for him?!
"Xu Damao must have lied to her."
"It takes two to tango. If Yu Haitang didn't have something in mind, do you think she would fall for Xu Damao's tricks?"
"You mean those two are getting married? If they're going to get married, why are you coming to me?"
Why can't he think straight?
Why is it that when faced with something like this, we act like moths, rushing headlong towards any kindness offered?
"They never intended to get married, which is why they asked you to take over their situation."
"What? You mean Yu Haitang came to me lying to me from the very beginning?"
"If she wasn't lying to you, why would she ask to borrow your radio the moment you met? I bet you two spent the whole afternoon not only listening to the radio, but she also kept asking how much you earn a month, whether you give any money home, and how much you've saved in total, right?"
My brother is absolutely right.
That's what Yu Haitang asked him.
Sha Zhu cried out with a long face, "Brother, does this mean I've been fooled by a woman again!"
"This time it's not a lie, just consider it as her committing a crime and wanting to come to your house to spend an afternoon with you."
"But why do I feel so uneasy? What if she comes looking for me again?"
"Then let's just not meet. I'll handle this for you."
Sha Zhu hugged He Hongyang tightly.
“I said I wasn’t looking for the right person, but Yan Bu Jiu Guifei introduced me to someone.”
“I had already rejected him, but Yu Haitang insisted on coming to our house.”
“When she first came, I ignored her completely, but she kept coming closer to me and wanted to listen to the radio with me.”
"Brother, why are all the women I meet like this? Why do they all have ulterior motives when they date me? And why are they all second-hand goods? I don't want second-hand women. I'd rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than accept second-hand goods."
He Hongyang patted him on the back.
"Don't be sad. I told you, this is nothing. She's here for us, so we're not at a disadvantage."
If his older brother hadn't stopped him in time, his radio would have been like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone forever.
If his older brother hadn't told him about Yu Haitang, he would still be completely oblivious, thinking he had found a suitable partner.
Yu Haitang, despite her young age, is already doing bad things.
He will never see her again!
From now on, I will never give her a full spoonful of food when I get food in the cafeteria!
Yu Haitang had no idea about these things.
He thought his little trick had completely fooled Sha Zhu.
He kept counting on his fingers, figuring out how much Sha Zhu earned in a month.
From now on, she will not only make him buy her a bicycle, but also make him treat her to meals at restaurants every day.
Isn't He Hongyang his older brother?
If he runs out of his own salary, he borrows from He Hongyang.
To avoid being discovered by the He family when she went to the courtyard to find Xu Damao.
She is currently keeping her distance from Xu Damao.
Xu Damao gave her benefits, so she moved closer to him.
If Xu Damao didn't give her any benefits, she simply ignored him.
this day.
I saw He Hongyang riding his bicycle home from get off work alone.
Yu Haitang hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Brother, you're off work, could you give me a ride?"
She was trying to jump onto the back of her bicycle.
He Hongyang came down...
"Don't call me big brother, call me Dr. He."
"I didn't expect you to be so principled. I was just about to tell you about my relationship with Sha Zhu."
