Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Hu Lin was also twenty-eight this year.

He had an older brother and a younger brother above him. Experience exclusive tales on M-V-L

His older brother, in his thirties, hadn't studied beyond elementary school.

It was also because of his elder brother that he could peacefully study from the rural area to the Capital City.

In the countryside, you know how things are.

Not to mention becoming a teacher in Capital City, even getting into a university there was somewhat famous throughout the village.

Hu Lin wasn't very fond of socializing, mainly because many classmates in university looked down on him for being a bona fide countryman.

Therefore, after graduation, he rarely contacted those former classmates.

Working for a few years, he had saved up most of his money and sent it back home.

The little that was left went to buying this Corolla in installments, and meeting Chen Qi was purely accidental.

At that time, when he bumped into her car, he always felt like he would lose a year's salary.

He naturally recognized a Porsche.

Only, he hadn't expected to meet a kind person who didn't ask him to pay for the damages.

Acting responsibly, Hu Lin didn't leave and even took the initiative to take her to repair the car.

The two of them got to know each other this way, and later he even met her mother, Peng Ying, who quite liked him.

Now, he was meeting her biological brother; it seemed the only slight mismatch he talked about was money.

Being able to dine with top-line celebrities, he must have quite a bit of money.

Exactly how much, he didn't know.

"Brother, aren't we moving a bit fast?" Chen Qi's face turned red.

"You aren't young anymore; love is as elusive as plucking cotton out of thin air,"

Chen Pingsheng said, "If you think it's right, then get married; only by having a child can relations truly stabilize."

Nowadays young people like to date for three or four years before getting married.

Facts have proven that those who like to prolong dating always end up parting ways.

In the old days, if two families met and felt good about each other, they could get married right away.

Not many people got divorced.

Instead, now the divorce rate is increasing with love marriages.

Yang Mi secretly felt she shouldn't have come to this dinner, always feeling that this asshole Chen Pingsheng

was hinting at her.

Mi, you are not young either.

You are older than my sister and still have no significant other, don't you feel embarrassed?

It's the twenty-first century, and this guy still acts like he's living in the nineties.

If she weren't polite, knowing it was someone else's family matter and refrained from intervening,

she would have jumped up and kicked him already.

The gap between the two is still too big; if they really wanted to come together, it would take some time.

Fortunately, Chen Qi isn't like Chen An'an, who grew up in a family that became rich overnight.

Used to spending lavishly,

it was only after coming to the Capital, dependent on her brother, that she began to have money.

So, she subconsciously liked people similar to her past.

Compared to the previous one, Chen Pingsheng was quite satisfied with Hu Lin.

It was mainly because his mom, Peng Ying, had nagged him several times, saying being a teacher is a noble profession.

It shouldn't be measured by money.

Sometimes Chen Pingsheng really wanted to tell her, you are still living in the past?

Which teacher doesn't tutor nowadays?

Hu Lin was stunned, didn't expect it to be so direct.

It was Chen Qi who nudged him. She had said several times that if they really wanted to be together, it must be with her brother's consent.

Given the circumstances, her brother clearly had consented.

But he couldn't afford the bride price, could he?

To be fair, demanding a hefty bride price and dowry is something only those without money do,

using the guise of tradition to engage in selling their daughters.

Previously, if you married someone from a poor family, it was considered a blessing.

Because a girl from such a family would help you in everything you did.

It's not ordinary diligence.

Now, marrying a girl from a poor family really fits the saying,

it's completely like going on a poverty relief mission.

First, you give a bride price of several hundred thousand, then there are a bunch of other expenses waiting for you.

As for Chen Qi, why would she need a bride price?

She'd probably have to even give one or two sets of Capital City houses away.

Hu Lin hadn't expected the relationship to develop so quickly, and apart from feeling a bit insecure, everything else felt pretty easy.

Because he didn't need to buy a house in the Capital or prepare a bride price.

In fact, Chen Pingsheng had investigated this person before agreeing so quickly; otherwise, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have brought it up first.

His sister could easily get married.

Finding a reliable and decent elementary school teacher seemed quite fitting for his little sister.

As for the two families becoming related by marriage, he'd wait for the elders to arrive and then discuss.

Back at the company, Yang Mi began to act petulantly.

Chen Pingsheng ignored her.

This woman wasn't young, and aside from being extremely beautiful, having especially D-sized breasts,

legs a bit long and being very good at earning money,

she seemed to have no other merits.

However, Yang Mi still asked him, "Chen Pingsheng, your sister is so rich, why would you let her marry someone whose annual salary is just a mere hundred thousand? Aren't you afraid of harming her?

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Pingsheng brushed off Yang Mi, who was sitting on his desk, "She chose him herself, it's not like I picked him for her. Besides, I'm only her brother, not her dad; she wouldn't like it if I interfered too much."

"Fine then."

Yang Mi, wearing a hip-hugging skirt, one side to the knee, the other above the knee, looked very fashionable.

"You seem to be quite open-minded about it."

"What can I do if I'm not? My mom agrees, so what right do I have to disagree?"

Chen Pingsheng curiously asked her, "By the way, since when did Queen Yang start caring about these matters?"

"Just thought I'd chat with you about it. I'm leaving this afternoon, see you in Magic City."

Yang Mi, carrying her small purse and wearing sunglasses, left unconcernedly.

After Chen Pingsheng returned home, Hu Lin unexpectedly came to his house bearing quite a few gifts.
