"Brother Qiang! I've found out about that woman. Her name is Zheng Juan, she lives in Taiping Hutong, and she has an elderly mother and a blind younger brother. In fact, her whole family is unregistered, and they have no one else to support them."

"As long as you marry her, Brother Qiang, you can just leave her aside and she definitely won't dare to say anything. At most, you can send her family a little money every month." Luo Shibin excitedly told Tu Zhiqiang about the information he had found out.

Tu Zhiqiang couldn't help but shake his head.

"Brother Qiang, Zheng Juan is definitely the best choice. If you marry her, things will look good on the surface, and you and Brother Shui can live the life you want. Isn't that great?" Luo Shibin quickly persuaded Tu Zhiqiang, who seemed to be having second thoughts.

Shui Ziliu looked at Tu Zhiqiang with complicated eyes. The relationship between him and Tu Zhiqiang was obvious. In fact, if he could, he would like to be with Tu Zhiqiang openly.

Unfortunately, this situation is not allowed at all.

If things were as they were before, that would be fine. But now Tu Zhiqiang is facing the situation of having to find a woman to marry.

Even though he understood that Tu Zhiqiang's marriage to a woman was merely a formality, he still felt uneasy.

Shui Ziliu desperately wanted Tu Zhiqiang to refuse Luo Shibin's proposal, but he couldn't say it.

After all, Tu Zhiqiang only has his mother left. His mother has been hoping that Tu Zhiqiang can get married and have children as soon as possible. It has been a year or two since then, and it can't continue to be delayed like this.

"Binzi, your information isn't accurate! That Zheng Juan, she's already working at the timber processing plant. She's a worker now, how could she be an unregistered resident!" Tu Zhiqiang shook his head and explained Zheng Juan's situation.

"Impossible! Zheng Juan lives in Taiping Hutong, which is almost entirely populated by unregistered residents. There are very few families with registered households. Zheng Juan's family is definitely unregistered," Luo Shibin couldn't help but emphasize.

"I saw Zheng Juan at the timber processing plant, how could this be fake?" Tu Zhiqiang rolled his eyes.

"Then—then you don't need to think about marrying Zheng Juan. So what if she's a worker? Her elderly mother and blind younger brother are a huge burden. With such burdens, even if she's a worker, she might not be able to get married. If you marry her, you can easily control her, and she can earn a salary, which is good too." Luo Shibin continued to insist.

"The identity of a worker is ultimately—" Tu Zhiqiang hesitated. Although Zheng Juan's family situation seemed easy to grasp, her status as a worker was quite different from what he had heard before. He felt that this might not be a safe bet.

"Hey, what does it matter if she's a worker? She's just a woman, how can we not control her? Besides, I've heard very well that Zheng Juan is very honest, even timid and weak, very easy to control. She's definitely the most suitable candidate," Luo Shibin insisted.

"I'll think about it some more," Tu Zhiqiang shook his head.

"What's there to consider?" Luo Shibin asked, getting a little anxious.

Even Shui Ziliu couldn't help but glance at Luo Shibin again, because Luo Shibin's anxious appearance was somewhat abnormal.

In fact, the reason why Luo Shibin was in such a hurry was entirely because he had taken a liking to Zheng Juan!

The day before yesterday, Zheng Juan scared herself. In order to avoid the so-called "going to the countryside" mission, she hid in a relatively remote place and was blocked by some hooligans who did nothing but cause trouble. Then, Tu Zhiqiang, Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin happened to pass by. At first, they did not even think of helping Zheng Juan out of the predicament.

After all, Tu Zhiqiang and his gang weren't exactly good people, so what kind of heroic deeds could they possibly do? Unless they knew the thugs, they would never casually get into conflicts with other petty criminals.

Just as they were about to leave, Luo Shibin saw Zheng Juan, and for some reason he felt a flutter in his heart; more accurately, he took a liking to Zheng Juan.

Then Luo Shibin came up with this idea: to have Tu Zhiqiang marry Zheng Juan.

Anyway, Luo Shibin knew Tu Zhiqiang's situation very well. After Zheng Juan was married, Tu Zhiqiang would never touch her. So, wouldn't Zheng Juan be a perfect bargain for Luo Shibin?

In reality, Luo Shibin wanted to marry Zheng Juan.

However, Luo Shibin's family situation was not as good as Tu Zhiqiang's.

Tu Zhiqiang's father was a martyr, and Tu Zhiqiang himself also had a formal job.

Luo Shibin, however, had nothing and a bad reputation. It was almost impossible for a normal woman to marry him. So Luo Shibin wanted Tu Zhiqiang to marry her, which led to the current situation.

"I think it's safer to find someone unemployed and undocumented, preferably from a poor family—" Tu Zhiqiang considered it very seriously.

"But Zheng Juan is clearly prettier—" Luo Shibin blurted out.

Now, Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang both looked at Luo Shibin.

Luo Shibin was a little embarrassed, but finally he simply confessed: "Brother Qiang, Brother Shui, I'll be honest, I've taken a liking to Zheng Juan. Anyway, I think that you're just marrying a woman to save face, and I happen to be looking for a woman too. If you marry Zheng Juan, wouldn't that be perfect? ​​It'll save me some trouble."

"..." Shui Ziliu and Tu Zhiqiang were both speechless.

"Since you like Zheng Juan, why don't you just marry her?" Shui Ziliu couldn't help but say.

"Hey, Brother Shui, don't you know my situation? My family is poor, I don't have a formal job, and my reputation is terrible. If I really went to propose marriage, Zheng Juan would never agree," Luo Shibin explained.

"..." Water flows naturally, Tu Zhiqiang.

However, as mentioned earlier, Tu Zhiqiang didn't really care what kind of woman he married. Since Zheng Juan was the woman Luo Shibin liked, he wouldn't mind giving Luo Shibin a chance. Shui Ziliu was even more in favor.

After all, he never wanted Tu Zhiqiang to marry another woman, even if it was only in name.

But if that woman was Luo Shibin's woman, then he would be much more at ease.

"Brother Qiang, since Binzi has someone he likes, why don't we do him a favor?" Shui Ziliu said to Tu Zhiqiang.

Upon hearing the words "water flows by itself," Tu Zhiqiang immediately relaxed.

"Alright then, I'll marry Zheng Juan. Binzi, I'm doing this all for you." Tu Zhiqiang couldn't resist teasing Luo Shibin.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Shui, I—I'm your brother in my heart, I won't say anything else, I'll just chug this bottle of wine." Luo Shibin picked up the Taonan Xiang wine on the table and started drinking it straight from the bottle.
