Chapter 765: The Difficulties of Being an Eldest Sister in the 90s (4)

As soon as Gu Zhen entered, the laughter stopped abruptly.

The layout of houses in residential compounds in this era is similar, with three households per floor, and the Gu family lives in the west unit.

As you enter the door, you will see a small living room surrounded by a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

The small bed that Gu Zhen had built with bricks and wooden boards was piled with clothes, none of which belonged to her.

The original owner was diligent and kept the house clean and tidy every day, but every time he came home from get off work, the house was guaranteed to be a mess.

Having two useless people at home is really annoying.

Gu Zhen walked in with a smile and put her things down, just like she did every day.

The two bedrooms are located in the south and north, separated by a wall with a small window in the middle for ventilation. The south bedroom is larger and is fully furnished with a sofa, coffee table and bed.

I usually eat here.

In the original owner's old concept, the biggest house should naturally be for his younger brother to live in.

Gu Qianjin was leaning against Ma Lanying, watching TV.

The 14-inch black-and-white TV was bought by Gu Qianjin without the knowledge of the original owner. Not only did he steal money from the family, he also borrowed money from his friends outside. In the end, it was the original owner who paid the bills.

When she saw Gu Zhen, Ma Lanying didn't even stand up to greet her, but just nodded casually.

It was clearly the first time they met.

Gu Zhen sat on a bench with an expressionless face, and spoke to her brother in a gentle voice: "Qian Qian, who is this female comrade? Why don't you introduce her to me?"

Gu Qianjin chuckled: "Sister, what era is this? You're still talking about gays. It's more popular to call someone Miss now, okay?"

Gu Zhen ignored him. By the end of the 1990s, the word "Miss" had begun to have a bad reputation, so calling her "comrade" still made the most sense.

"I'm not well-educated, I don't know as much as you guys out there, don't laugh at me," Gu Zhen showed an honest smile, "Go ahead, is this lady your girlfriend?"

Ma Lanying felt a little embarrassed and nudged Gu Qianjin with her elbow.

She was wearing a bright yellow padded shirt with the hem tucked into her jeans. She had heavy makeup on her face and her big wavy hair made her head look very big.

Ma Lanying was not ugly, but she had a pair of droopy eyes, which made her look mean.

She seemed to have just seen Gu Zhen, and shyly called her sister, "I'm dating Qianjin, and I just wanted to come and see my elder sister and younger sister."

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "How can a woman come first? We are too rude. I should take them to visit your parents some other day."

In fact, Gu Qianjin had already gone to the girl's house for dinner. The other family looked down on him, but they doted on their daughter and reluctantly agreed.

But he made three requests.

Today, Gu Qianjin brought Ma Lanying back just to talk to his elder sister and see if these conditions could be met. He couldn't wait to have his own family.

"Sister," Gu Qianjin suddenly became enthusiastic, "I am not a child anymore. It's time for me to start a family and a career, right?"

Gu Zhen nodded seriously: "That's right, I've been thinking about telling you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to find a partner first, and such a beautiful and outstanding girl."

"I'm so happy in my heart."

She enthusiastically grabbed Ma Lanying's hand and said, "What's your name, girl?"

"......My name is Ma Lanying." Ma Lanying was not used to it. She tried to pull it out but failed, so she had to give up, but she secretly glared at Gu Qianjin.

It is said that honest people are easy to bully. Why does she feel that the eldest sister of the Gu family is too enthusiastic?

Gu Qianjin thought that his elder sister was just too happy, and without thinking much, he pulled Gu Zhen towards Beiwo.

"Let me talk to my sister, you watch TV." He comforted Ma Lanying.

Knowing that they were talking about the bride price, Ma Lanying curled her lips and sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds and watching TV.

But I couldn't help but tilt my ear, trying to hear something from the small window on the wall.

In the north bedroom, Gu Manman sat at the table, drawing her eyebrows and eyes in front of the mirror. When her elder sister came home, she acted as if she didn't see anything.

Gu Zhen and Gu Qianjin ignored her and sat on Gu Manman's bed to talk.

"Sister," Gu Qianjin lowered his voice, "Lanying's family is well-off. Her parents work in the hardware business and are rich. If I marry her, my father-in-law will be able to help me in the future. I won't have to worry about anything, right?"

Gu Zhen remained expressionless but cursed him in her heart. It's not like Ma Lanying has no brothers and sisters, just her two strong and shrewd sisters-in-law. How could she let others take advantage of her?

Besides, Gu Qianjin is not the type of person who can make a business out of it.

When he was 18 years old, he barely finished high school and refused to go to school anymore, clamoring to start a big business. His uncles and aunts at home were worried about him, so they scraped together a few thousand yuan and bought him a tricycle, allowing him to haul goods with the people from the building materials shop.

As a result, they sold the car right away. When this news reached the relatives, they were so angry that they no longer wanted to have anything to do with them.

The original owner just indulged him without any discipline.

But Gu Zhen would never care about it now. She would only be more indulgent than before: "You are right, but with such good conditions, can you be interested in our family?"

Gu Qianjin curled his lips in disdain. Ma Lanying was not very smart and was easy to coax. She was a superficial woman who only cared about appearance. A few sweet words could make her lose her way.

"Lanying, this is nothing. It's just that their parents made a few requests."

Gu Zhen quickly handed it over: "Oh? What is your request? We will definitely try our best to do it."

From childhood to adulthood, there was nothing that his sister promised that she could not do, and Gu Qianjin suddenly felt confident.

"The first requirement is the betrothal gift."

He made an 8 with his hands, and Gu Zhen's eyes widened at the right moment: "800 yuan?! We can't afford that!"

Gu Qianjin quickly covered his elder sister's mouth; "Sister, keep your voice down, don't let Lanying hear it!"

After all, in Ma Lanying's mind, their family conditions were pretty good, and Gu Qianjin boasted about himself and was doing big business outside every day.

"It's not 800 yuan, it's 8000 yuan!"

Gu Zhen's lips twitched. What era requires eight thousand yuan? The Ma family is obviously trying to make things difficult for you, and this fool can't see it.

Gu Qianjin also knew that this request was difficult. He scratched his head and said, "It would be best if there is a house. Lanying doesn't want to live with so many people."

Gu Zhen agreed to everything: "What else? Any other conditions?"

Gu Qianjin looked embarrassed. This third condition was not simple either. "The four major items must be available. It would be best if we could also have a set of furniture. Also, wedding photos and wedding banquets, all these must be in good condition."

Now that we have entered the 1990s, the four major appliances are the refrigerator, washing machine, television and radio.

In another two years, the radio will be replaced by a VCR, and if conditions permit, perhaps air conditioning or something like that.

But no matter what the Gu family's conditions are, none of these three can be met.

Not to mention the four major appliances, I still couldn’t afford to buy a TV even if I dismantled my house.
