Lu De Min rode his bike, carrying his partner, back to San Hu Tong, the alley where the Si He Yuan at No. 95 Nan Luo Gu Xiang was located.
At this time, in the alley outside the gate of the Si He Yuan, several aunties and young women were taking care of their children, who were playing. They were watching the children while chatting.
Swish!
When Lu De Min appeared on his bicycle, their eyes turned to him instantly.
Isn’t this Lu De Min?
When did he buy a bike?
No.
This is a women’s bike.
There’s also a girl sitting behind him.
My goodness!
This girl is so beautiful.
This bike should belong to the girl.
That means not only is she beautiful, but her family must be well-off, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to afford a bicycle.
Seeing so many people looking at her, Wang Tong’s face turned red. She tightened her grip on Lu De Min’s waist and bravely lifted her head to meet their gazes. She wanted to assert her claim – Lu De Min was hers, and all of you neighbors, stop trying to set him up with other girls.
Lu De Min smiled and nodded at the neighbors. At the same time, he braked and got off the bike with Wang Tong.
After Wang Tong got off, her tall figure became apparent, causing the aunties and young women to stare.
“Xiao Lu, the woman behind you is so beautiful, who is she?”
Lu De Min took Wang Tong’s hand, gave her a loving look, and then introduced with a smile, “This is my partner, Wang Tong!”
So, she really is Lu De Min’s partner.
Actually, they could tell when they saw her arm around Lu De Min’s waist.
But now, Lu De Min has confirmed it with his own mouth.
The aunties looked at Lu De Min’s partner, Wang Tong, with envy. They still had unmarried sons, and they dreamt of finding a daughter-in-law like her.
Beautiful and elegant, with a great figure, and most importantly, a very good family background, and she’s even a car owner.
Lu De Min’s luck was truly amazing, to have found a wife like this.
The aunties and young women surrounded them, some praising Lu De Min and some praising Wang Tong, saying they were a perfect match.
Both Lu De Min and Wang Tong were happy.
At this moment, some young men returned home.
Seeing that the new resident in the courtyard, Lu De Min, had found such a beautiful partner, they were envious.
They couldn’t help but compare Lu De Min’s girlfriend to Qin Huai Ru, the most beautiful girl in the courtyard. This beautiful face, jet-black long hair, tall figure, and cool and elegant temperament, plus a bicycle, was a complete victory over Qin Huai Ru.
From now on, the title of “the most beautiful woman in the courtyard”, no, the most beautiful woman in Nan Luo Gu Xiang and even Hongxing Community, should be relinquished by Qin Huai Ru and given to Lu De Min’s partner.
Xiao Wang, accustomed to sharing good news with everyone, ran inside to report that Lu De Min, the young man in the courtyard, had found such a beautiful partner.
He quickly came out with a group of young men.
Sha Zhu, Jia Dong Xu, Liu Guang Tian, Yan Jie Cheng, and other young men all came out to see Lu De Min’s partner.
“You all take a look, isn’t Lu De Min’s partner prettier than Qin Huai Ru?” Sha Zhu was particularly excited, eager for his friends to acknowledge his good judgment, especially Jia Dong Xu. He couldn’t understand why Jia Dong Xu wasn’t convinced. Your wife is beautiful, but she’s just not as pretty as Lu De Min’s girlfriend, right? And now it seems she has a bike, what a great condition!
The young people in the courtyard all stared intently at Lu De Min’s partner, and without Sha Zhu’s reminder, they also compared her to Qin Huai Ru.
Soon, they came to a conclusion.
And they were all unanimous.
“Lu De Min’s partner is prettier!”
“Yeah! Xiao Lu’s partner is indeed more beautiful!”
“However, Qin Huai Ru has something that Xiao Lu’s partner can’t compare to!”
Swish! The other young men looked at the one who spoke.
Jia Dong Xu also looked over, his heart filled with anticipation.
“What is it?”
“Tell us quickly!”
“Qin Huai Ru’s belly is bigger!”
“Pfft!”
“Ah haha! Still!”
“You’re not wrong!”
Everyone burst into good-natured laughter.
Only Jia Dong Xu, with a dark face and a disappointed tone, said:
“This girl is indeed beautiful! But she obviously comes from a well-off family. She’s probably the daughter of a cadre. I bet her parents won’t approve of Lu De Min. So, it’s not certain if she’ll marry into our courtyard!”
“Dong Xu Ge, how do you know she’s the daughter of a cadre?”
“Yeah! Jia Dong Xu, how did you figure that out?”
Jia Dong Xu spoke proudly: “It’s simple. First, she’s riding a Yongjiu Zixin bike. And then, she’s wearing a Meihua watch, and her skirt is also quite expensive. This clearly shows that her family is well-off!”
“Anyone can see that. Why do you say she’s the daughter of a cadre, not just a rich kid?”
“Yeah! We’re curious too!”
Actually, Jia Zhang Shi had no idea if Wang Tong was the daughter of a cadre. He was just making it up to make it seem more likely that her parents wouldn’t approve of Lu De Min. After all, the children of cadres were more sought-after than those of rich people nowadays. With such good conditions, her parents would have higher expectations when choosing a partner for their daughter, making it more likely that they wouldn’t like Lu De Min.
Now that his friends were asking, Jia Dong Xu was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and had to continue to be stubborn: “Her aura! She has a kind of aura that only the daughters of cadres have! Of course, not everyone can see this aura, but I can!”
When he said this, Jia Dong Xu felt satisfied.
He thought no one could refute him.
Don’t agree, huh?
That just means you don’t have the eye for it.
As expected.
After hearing Jia Dong Xu’s words, some of the young men seemed to be “persuaded” and looked at Lu De Min’s partner more carefully.
“Dong Xu Ge is right, she does have an aura!”
...
At this time, Yan Bu Gui and his wife, Yi Da Ma, Qin Huai Ru, Jia Zhang Shi, Liu Hai Zhong and his wife, and other residents, hearing the commotion, also came out to see what Lu De Min’s partner looked like.
