After spending half a day trying to persuade him, Han Shouzhen still couldn't convince the seemingly agreeable young man to give up the idea of having Xu Ji marry his sister, only to end up with a dry mouth and a heavy heart.
Lin Xiaoguai looked on helplessly. Han Shouzhen wasn't unwise, but she didn't understand that country kids had their own cunning. If Lin Xiaoguai had aggressively offered money today, he might have hesitated, but her gentle persuasion only showed her soft heart, which undoubtedly strengthened his original resolve.
However, she felt she couldn't help much. Kindly persuading was one thing, playing the "good cop" was another, and she found it difficult. As for Zheng Cuicui... Lin Xiaoguai glanced at her and decided to let it be. The sister-in-law wasn't without plans, but she was also good-natured, or she wouldn't have been bullied by Liu Yuzhi and her mother-in-law like she had been.
Han Shouzhen would have been suitable, but she had lost the initiative.
