They don't even talk about love, but they can get rewards.

Chapter 8 A forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst
Chai Shiyu's fruit drink stall was just a dozen meters away, and Shen Zhang arrived in a few steps. What caught his eye was a girl wearing a black suspender, with a heart-shaped bun, a melon-shaped face, light makeup, and a pure and slightly arrogant face.

Those who are familiar with her know that she is just cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

[The target person has been scanned, and only one binding attempt is left. Do you want to bind?]

Name: Chai Shiyu
Height: 164
Face value: 81
Body: 78
Health: 92
Comprehensive: 81
【Consumption rebate: 3】

Shen Zhang was not surprised. Chai Shiyu had a pretty face. Eighty points was considered a high score. There were not many people in the night market who could meet her standard.

Shen Zhang is not considering binding for the time being. He doesn't want to waste this last chance.

"Sister Shiyu, are you busy?"

"Shen Zhang?"

Chai Shiyu looked up and noticed Shen Zhang and was a little surprised, because the other party actually took the initiative to call her "sister". It was really the sun rising in the west.

The two stalls were close to each other, and she also liked to eat cold noodles and fried skewers, so she often patronized Shen Zhang's business. After a few visits, they gradually became familiar with each other. Shen Zhang had never greeted her, and she didn't know if he was introverted or something.

Shen Zhang smiled and nodded: "Business is good. My mother asked me to bring you some cold noodles. Do you want to eat them now?"

"Well, help me give the money to Aunt Zhang."

"Forget the money, just buy me a glass of orange juice."

"also!"

Chai Shiyu looked at Shen Zhang. She also had a younger brother who was in elementary school. "You look much more sunny and handsome after changing your clothes. What are you doing recently? Are you working during the summer vacation?"

"Doing some business with a friend."

Shen Zhang looked her over. The combination of white suspenders and black denim skirt made her look youthful and girlish. She could make the young people in the night market dizzy. Her stall business has always been good.

"You?" Chai Shiyu was a little surprised, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes: "Are you doing business now?"

"Yes, who doesn't want to make money? There are still opportunities if you do some business. If you don't do business, your life will be over." Shen Zhang sighed. It's easy for him to talk, but in fact, doing business is not that easy, otherwise anyone can be a boss.

Shen Zhang walked to Chai Shiyu's side. She had a faint fragrance on her body, probably from the shampoo or soap. It was said that some young girls have their own body odor, maybe it's true.

"What you said makes sense, but doing business costs money, and the cost of trial and error is not small." Chai Shiyu shook her head and couldn't understand where Shen Zhang's family conditions were not particularly good, so where did he get the money to do business? Was this guy bragging to me?
"I'm doing pretty well now. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to earn my first money during the summer vacation." Shen Zhang didn't say anything about business, but just piqued Chai Shiyu's interest, and then changed the subject: "Sister Shiyu, don't you plan to open a store?"

"me?"

Chai Shiyu squeezed orange juice for him and raised her eyes slightly: "I don't have money even if I want to open one, and now there are many beverage brands, they all have systems and teams, it's cheaper to set up a stall than to open one on the street."

"It's enough to make a living by setting up stalls. It's hard to make money."

"What can I do? This is what happens when the family has no foundation." Chai Shiyu was serious. Didn't she know this? If she had money, she would have joined a franchise and opened a store. "You talk a lot today, don't you?"

Shen Zhang flirted back: "My mother said she wants you to be her daughter-in-law, and asked me to come over and talk to her."

"Ah... me?"

Chai Shiyu pointed at herself and shook her head calmly: "I understand what Aunt Zhang is thinking. She would chat with me every time I went there. But you have just become an adult. There will be many beautiful girls when you go to college. I... for now... um..."

"I also think that a forced melon is not sweet. I will go back and tell her that it is not appropriate."

Shen Zhang showed a meaningful smile, this was the right thing to do. If Chai Shiyu was a man and would agree to it, he would think that the other party was too short-sighted. It was not that he was being disparaging, but he just felt that it was not right for him since he was penniless.

If you have nothing, don't take yourself too seriously. That's what a clown does.

But there is a saying that goes, a forced melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst.

"Yeah." Chai Shiyu was a little surprised. She had never known Shen Zhang before, but she didn't expect him to be quite mature and good at chatting. Although they were talking about such a topic, neither of them felt awkward.

Shen Zhang was drinking juice. Chai Shiyu had a lot of varieties here, including lemon tea. "When I make money, I'll invest in you to open a store and make money together. Then we'll be doing great."

"I'm waiting for you to invest in me, Boss Shen." Chai Shiyu still had to do business, so Shen Zhang didn't stay by her side to affect her and returned to his stall: "Mom, it's not appropriate."

"Have you asked?" Zhang Guixiang sighed helplessly. She probably felt that her family's conditions were too poor and that held them back. "By the way, let's go back early today. Your uncle and his family are coming to eat at home tomorrow, so I have to get up early to buy groceries."

"Ah."

Shen Zhang helped to clean up: "Dad, did your uncle and his family borrow money from you?"

"Yeah." Shen Li paused.

"Did you agree?"

"Not yet. Let's talk about it when we get home tomorrow." Shen Li had almost packed up and asked Shen Zhang to sit in the passenger seat. He said while driving, "Your uncle and his family are short of money for their business. It just so happens that we have tens of thousands of dollars at home that don't have much interest."

"Dad, don't borrow money."

Shen Zhang felt annoyed when he thought about the fact that he had lent out 50,000 yuan and only got 20,000 yuan back when his mother fell ill, and he still couldn't get any benefit. He knew too well what kind of people those relatives were, especially his two aunts.

"why?"

"While we can still build a house, why don't we build our house first? My mother asked me to pick up Chai Shiyu. Even if I really have the ability to pick up Chai Shiyu, I can't bring this house back. Besides, the roof of my grandma's small house is leaking." Shen Zhang joined the game and started to kidnap his father directly.

After listening to this, Shen Li was silent for a while: "That's not enough."

"Try to borrow some. Since you know a lot about the materials, you can buy them on credit."

No matter whether there is a chance of demolition, just build it first.

We really had no money before, and after my mom fell ill, we had even less money to build a house.

Now we don't need this little money, and my mother's health condition can be improved, so we still have to do what we need to do. After all, my parents can't accept big changes in a short time.

Shen Zhang's words made Shen Li fall into deep thought: "I'll go back and talk to your mother."

Half an hour later, we returned to Shenjia Lane in Jianye.

This is an undeveloped rural area on the edge of Jianye. Most of the houses here are two- or three-story self-built buildings. His family is very poor and they only have a few bungalows made of red bricks and green tiles. There is also a large pomegranate tree at the door.

"You asked your son to go find Chai Shiyu, how could she like him?" Shen Li found Zhang Guixiang in the evening and talked about his worries.

Zhang Guixiang complained: "It's because our family is too poor."

Shen Li was speechless. He was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Let's not borrow the money from his uncle. Let's build the house. Otherwise, if our son really has a girlfriend, she won't agree. My mother's house is leaking."

"It should have been built earlier!" Zhang Guixiang was a little excited. Adults also have to save face.

...

Shen Zhang took a shower and was about to go to bed, but he didn't expect Su Feixuan to send him a message.

At the same time, Hong Kong City.

In a high-rise master bedroom, a charming woman tossed and turned in bed after taking a shower. She sat up irritably: "No, he has money but nowhere to spend it? Damn rich man!"
