Chapter 274 The Kind-hearted Jia Zhang
Li Qin was filled with doubt and confusion when Jia Zhangshi called out to him.
But he still politely stopped to greet the other person.
This is a matter of basic courtesy; reputation is a very important thing.
A person's reputation comes from their daily conduct and behavior.
Since Li Qin has chosen to live a secular life, he naturally needs to pay attention to these things.
Upon hearing that Li Qin had completed the month's purchasing task, a strange look flashed across Jia Zhangshi's face, and a glint of light appeared in her eyes.
Despite Jia Zhangshi's apparent lack of education, she will grow into a shrew that everyone hates.
But Jia Zhangshi was actually not stupid at all.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to suppress Qin Huairu for a lifetime.
Jia Zhangshi would often hear Jia Dongxu talk about things at the steel rolling mill.
I also learned that the steel rolling mill has a very heavy procurement task this month, much heavier than last month.
In this situation, even for some experienced purchasing agents, completing the purchasing task is not an easy task.
However, Li Qin was able to complete it, which shows that Li Qin's ability is quite good.
Thus, Jia Zhangshi's thoughts became even more firm.
A smile appeared on her face.
He looked at Li Qin with a kind expression.
Her attitude gave Li Qin a strange and unsettling feeling.
After all, in Li Qin's impression, Jia Zhangshi was completely unrelated to the word "kindness".
Although Li Qin didn't know what was wrong with Jia Zhangshi, he just wanted to say goodbye as soon as possible.
But before Li Qin could speak, Madam Jia preemptively said:
"Xiao Li, I remember you should be eighteen years old this year, right?"
Li Qin frowned slightly. He really didn't know what Jia Zhangshi meant by those words, but he still nodded honestly.
"That's right, you're turning eighteen this year, almost nineteen."
Madam Jia nodded first, then continued:
"Before you knew it, you've reached the age where you should be dating and getting married. I wonder what your thoughts are on finding a partner?"
At this moment, Li Qin's doubts grew stronger and stronger.
Logically speaking, his relationship with Jia Zhangshi, or even the Jia family, was not good, but now Jia Zhangshi's problems have gone a bit "beyond the mark".
Normally, unless the relationship has reached a certain level, one wouldn't casually ask the other person about finding a partner.
However, since the other party had spoken, Li Qin remained silent for a moment before replying.
After all, this isn't something that can't be said, nor does it involve any secrets:
"I'm not in a rush to find a partner. I'll leave it to fate. I'm still young, and I have at least another year or two before I get married."
Upon hearing that Li Qin was not opposed to finding a partner, a glint of light flashed in Jia Zhangshi's eyes.
However, when she heard that Li Qin was not in a hurry to find a partner, a look of anxiety flashed in Jia Zhangshi's eyes.
Madam Jia Zhang quickly spoke up;
"Xiao Li, you're thinking wrong."
"You should know that good girls are in high demand these days. If a family has a girl of marriageable age, they will start looking for a partner in advance. Even if they can't get married immediately, they will at least settle down first."
If you wait until you're old enough to find a partner, by then, what good girls will be left for you?
After hearing these words, Li Qin looked at Jia Zhangshi with a strange expression.
At this moment, he even began to doubt whether the Jia Zhangshi in front of him was still the Jia Zhangshi he remembered.
Li Qin even wondered if Jia Zhangshi had also been transported to another time.
Because what Jia Zhangshi just said was the truth.
Moreover, Li Qin could sense genuine concern from the other party's tone.
This should absolutely not be something that appears on Jia Zhangshi.
Li Qin remained silent for a long time.
He even secretly wondered whether he should try to test Jia Zhangshi with some modern jokes.
However, in the end he did not act rashly.
Although it is said that when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears.
But there is another possibility: fellow villagers shooting each other in the back.
Moreover, almost everyone who travels through time has a cheat code.
Even Li Qin is the same; now he has even mastered extraordinary wizarding power:
However, they also lacked confidence in resisting the strange and magical power of the cheat system.
Therefore, the best course of action is not to act rashly, but to continue to observe Jia Zhangshi in front of her and determine from the side whether she is a time traveler or not.
Thinking of this, Li Qin, who originally wanted to get rid of Jia Zhangshi as soon as possible, was no longer in a hurry to go home.
He patiently spoke to Jia Zhangshi;
"Aunt Jia, what you said is indeed correct, but you also know my situation. I don't have any elders or relatives at home to help me make arrangements."
Therefore, we can only take it one step at a time and see how things unfold.
After he finished speaking, Li Qin kept his eyes fixed on Jia Zhangshi.
To determine whether Jia Zhangshi had any issues, he first went along with what she said and then observed her reaction.
Only in this way can we have a chance to figure everything out.
Jia Zhangshi was unaware of these things. After hearing Li Qin's words, the smile on her face became even more amiable, and the look in her eyes towards Li Qin became even more eerie.
Whether it was a misperception or not, Li Qin even saw a hint of affection in the other person's eyes.
"No, that's impossible!"
Li Qin shook his head inwardly and quickly dismissed the idea.
He assumed he had misread it.
Even if Jia Zhangshi were truly transported to another time, she would never show him any kindness.
Just then, Madam Jia suddenly spoke again;
"Xiao Li, it's fate that we live in the same courtyard. Since there are no adults in your family to help you find a partner..."
Then I'll help you make arrangements. When your sister-in-law goes back to her parents' home, I'll find you a really good girl in their village. Li Qin, who originally thought there was something wrong with Jia Zhangshi, suddenly froze.
He always felt that he might have misunderstood something before.
At this point, Jia Zhangshi continued speaking;
"You have no idea, there are several girls in your sister-in-law's village who are the same age as you and are incredibly beautiful."
More importantly, these girls are all very good at managing household chores; you can tell just by looking at your sister-in-law.
If you marry her, you'll be living the high life.
At this point, Li Qin was almost completely certain that he had misunderstood the situation.
This Jia Zhangshi was not a time traveler, nor did she suffer any mental problems.
On the contrary, he is quite quick-witted.
Jia Zhangshi implied that she was helping Li Qin find a partner, which was not a problem in itself.
At most, it's just excessive enthusiasm.
Even if people knew, they would only think that Jia Zhangshi was kind-hearted and cared about her neighbors.
But Jia Zhangshi just said that she wanted Qin Huairu to introduce a girl to Li Qin in her maternal village.
That's the problem.
Li Qin also had some knowledge of the villages near Beijing.
The same applies to Qin Huairu's hometown village.
This village is called Qin Family Village.
Almost all the families in the village share the surname Qin.
Moreover, they all share the same character, Qin.
In other words, all the villagers in Qin Family Village are more or less connected by blood.
Almost everyone in the village is related by blood.
