It's Hard to Go Home Without Money

"Yeah! Currently suppressing those hooligans!"

Hearing this, Wang Yingui seemed to think of something. Currently, Daiya had changed a lot, becoming graceful and charming. To be honest, Wang Yingui was also a bit reluctant to let her go, but some things couldn't be helped.

Putting himself in another's shoes, suppose he was working away from home, in a situation like Pan Renjie's. Back home, a woman like Daiya suddenly arrived—young, beautiful, wanting to rely on him, with no one else to turn to, leaving everything to his decision. Surely any man would be moved and harbor bad intentions, such as bringing her back to his rented room to live together because there was no place to stay, and after sleeping together for a few nights, what was bound to happen would happen. If it were him, he would do the same.

For an ordinary person, let alone a hooligan, even if they already had a girlfriend or a wife, they would probably harbor bad intentions behind her back, because human nature was just like that. Unless they were relatives, of course. When Daiya arrived there to work, if she changed into a new set of clothes, Pan Renjie would definitely be moved upon seeing her.

However, he knew Pan Renjie was an upright person; having grew up together since childhood, he understood him well. If he got together with Daiya and they lived together, Daiya would face much fewer risks. Daiya was simple and uneducated, and at her age, without a man by her side, she would definitely be pursued by many when she entered the factory, making her easy to deceive and get into trouble. Let alone Pan Renjie and Daiya having no relation, even many parents who sent their daughters to work couldn't control their love lives. If parents controlled them too strictly, young girls, once in love, would disregard everything and run away with their lovers—he had seen this all too often.

In reality, Daiya always looked toward the outside world, yearning for freedom and opportunities, insisting on going to work. Wang Yingui had already prepared himself mentally to cut off this relationship. Once Daiya left, she would no longer belong to him; sooner or later, she would find another man.

Honestly, after being with Chen Xiaoyue and Li Tingting, if he were told to marry a girl like Daiya, he would feel somewhat unwilling in his heart. But men are naturally greedy, always wanting to have "meat" to eat by their side, rather than out of deep affection.

"Yingui, why aren't you saying anything?" Pan Renjie urged from the other end.

Wang Yingui snapped out of his thoughts. "Pan Jie, I can introduce a girlfriend to you, but there are a few things I must make clear first. What happens in the future is up to you, to avoid any friction between us later."

Hearing this, Pan Renjie was extremely excited. "Yingui, are you really introducing a girlfriend to me? Which girl from our hometown went to work and came back, or is she also where I am? Tell me quickly..."

Wang Yingui thought for a moment. "Listen, Daiya has completely transformed now. A girl changes eighteen times as she grows up. When she arrives at your place, she is guaranteed to surprise you."

"You mean Daiya? Has she become very beautiful now?"

"Yeah! That's why I want to make it clear to you. Daiya suffered a lot of hardships, and I treat her like my sister. But after staying together for a long time, and with her being so beautiful—you know how we men are, especially at our young age. So I couldn't help but sleep with her for a long time. We were together every night, and that feeling was truly wonderful, hehe!"

Hearing this, Pan Renjie was very surprised. "You're really something! So what do you mean by that? Don't worry, a friend's wife is off-limits. No matter how beautiful Daiya is, I wouldn't dare touch your woman!"

Wang Yingui smiled wickedly. "We are both men, who doesn't know what's on each other's minds! At first, you might feel embarrassed, but Daiya is relying on you. As time passes and distance grows, during those late nights when your head gets hot, what is there that you wouldn't do?"

The other end fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Yingui, didn't I hear that you fell from a tree and 'couldn't use it' anymore? Are you cured now?"

Wang Yingui didn't want to reveal this to anyone. He fell silent, thought for a moment, and replied, "Heheh! Still the same old state, but it can still be used. When it finds a warm place, there's still electricity occasionally!"

"Holy crap... You really are something. How could a woman who has been slept with by you still look at another man!"

At this point, Wang Yingui became more serious. "No more joking. Feelings can't withstand the test of time. Daiya is going to work, and I know I have no hope left. It's true that I slept with her, even several times a day sometimes. Once she goes out, even if you don't make a move, she will follow someone else. I think you're a decent guy, which is why I'm telling you this. What happens in the future is up to you, to avoid any awkwardness between us brothers later. If you can really make her your girlfriend, I won't object, because I will marry someone else in the future. You are a good person, so I'm advising you, but no matter what, you must protect Daiya. If you two get together, I'll give a big gift on your wedding day."

Pan Renjie fell silent. Having been single for a long time, hearing Wang Yingui say this, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, both excited and expectant. In his mind, the image of a beautiful Daiya coming to find him appeared. Looking at his small, cramped rented room littered with cigarette butts, he thought to himself how satisfying it would be to have such a woman share his bed in this space.

"Yingui, rest assured, I will take good care of Daiya. I'm not that kind of person, but honestly, if Daiya is as beautiful as you say, maybe I really will be moved. If she is destined to love someone else, I'd rather be the one to care for her; after all, we're from the same hometown and she can trust me. Don't blame me when the time comes, you said it yourself."

"Haha, alright, none of us have it easy. Once you go out, it's hard to get back together, and I have to find a new girlfriend at home too. But I warn you, if Daiya doesn't agree, you must not force her, otherwise, I won't let you off when you return to the village."

"You can rest assured about that. After all, we're from the same hometown; in a foreign land, we are like family. I definitely won't do such an immoral thing."

Just then, a message notification arrived, and Wang Yingui glanced at it.

"Holy crap... Talking to you all this time has run my phone out of credit. No more talking. When Daiya leaves, I'll let you know her itinerary and train arrival time so you can pick her up."

"Alright, then. Remember to help me take care of my parents."

The two hung up. Wang Yingui sighed. He had no other choice regarding Daiya, so he could only think positively and let her go. Actually, looking at a family, one could tell if a person was good or not. Pan Renjie's parents, though poor, were very industrious and rarely argued, so Pan Renjie was definitely not bad, and he was also filial. Handing Daiya over to him made him feel at ease.

"Sigh! Before, when I watched movies and saw people say that loving someone means knowing when to let go, and that seeing them happy makes you happy too, I thought it was complete nonsense. Now that I'm in this situation, I realize I'm actually quite great, it's just that I feel sorry for that girl."

Wang Yingui shook his head and went downstairs. Everyone was sitting in the living room talking, and when they saw him come down, they stopped, looking at him with hopeful eyes.
