Ma Defu wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, Shui Hua gave him a soft nail.
"Defu, did you get this money from Uncle Shui?"
The two grew up together, and Shui Hua knew Ma Defu's temperament very well. She knew that saying this might touch Ma Defu's self-esteem, but if she didn't say this, she would not be able to dispel Ma Defu's thoughts.
When Shui Hua said this, Ma Defu instantly became speechless. He hummed for a long time before he nodded with a blushing face.
"Yes."
Shui Hua is smart and considerate, but does not follow blindly. She has her own persistence in her heart. It is precisely because of her character that in the original drama she was able to find a path to wealth step by step on her own.
Regarding the 'house' matter, even if her father didn't have a dime in his pocket, she would not accept the money from Ma Defu. Besides, it's not that their family has no money now, it's just that her father is greedy for cheap.
.
"Defu, you take this money back, you can't ask for it."
As he spoke, Shuihua pushed the money back into Ma Defu's arms.
Seeing the money being pushed back, Ma Defu didn't say anything, he just stared at the water splashing stubbornly.
Shui Hua sighed, of course she knew that getting the blessing was a good intention and a sincere one, but she couldn't accept it, and she shouldn't accept it.
"Defu, I heard someone say some time ago that Uncle Shui wants to build two more courtyards. Is this true?"
Ma Defu nodded, and Shui Hua continued.
"Including the previous two, Uncle Shui will have to build four courtyards in total. The sum of the money is not a small sum, and in a few years, your brother will also get married. Also, your sister will have to spend the money in the future.
You still have to go to junior high school, high school, and college. Do the math, which one of these things doesn’t cost money?”
"..."
Ma Defu was speechless because he didn't know how to explain to Shuihua that their family was not short of money. After all, even he himself didn't understand where their family's money came from.
He actually knew what Shui Hua said, and he also knew how much money his family had spent from Diaozhuang to now. After a rough calculation, he found it was fifty or sixty thousand.
With his current knowledge and vision, he couldn't guess where the money came from even if he tried to break his head.
However, there was only one thing he was sure of: his father definitely did not make money through any "evil ways".
There is a reason why Ma Defu is so confident, because the trajectory of Li Jie's actions can be traced. Everyone in the village knows that his father spends most of his time in the village. Even if he occasionally goes out, the time is very short.
It didn't last more than five days, and his father went out very rarely.
In such a short time, how can there be enough time to take the "wrong way"?
However, Shui Hua does not know the inside story of the Ma family. From her perspective, the Ma family has spent a lot of money since Diaozhuang, and there will be more money to spend in the future. Even if the Ma family still has savings, it is estimated that
It’s full of flowers.
In fact, Shuihua was a little angry about Ma Defu giving money. She felt that Ma Defu was a little inconsiderate of Uncle Shui.
Although Ma Defu didn't get hold of the packet of money in his hand, he could tell at a casual glance that it contained at least several thousand dollars.
A few thousand yuan may not be much in other places, but in Jintan Village, it is definitely a huge sum. Many people can't make up a few thousand yuan even if they sell everything.
"Okay, this matter is settled."
Looking at the hesitant Ma Defu, Shuihua made a final decision and decided on the matter directly without giving Ma Defu a chance to continue to 'persuad' him.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Defu looked at Shuihua and then at the pile of money in his arms. Just like Shuihua understood him, he agreed and understood Shuihua.
Shui Hua looks like a very gentle person, but she is very strong in her bones. Once Shui Hua makes up her mind about something, she will stick to it unswervingly. No matter what others say or how to persuade, it is difficult to shake her will.
.
"well."
Ma Defu sighed and silently put the money back into his arms.
Seeing this scene, the lines on Shui Hua's face suddenly softened a lot. She took Ma Defu's hand and smiled at him.
"Defu, in fact, you understand what you are thinking, but you don't care about those things, they are not important. What is important is that you and I can be together."
Hearing these affectionate words that were like a confession, Ma Defu felt that his heart was melting by the gentle and kind-hearted girl in front of him.
At this time, he only had one thought in his mind.
He was so lucky to have met Shui Hua, and got to know and fall in love with her in this life.
"Splash, uh... uh, too!"
Seeing Ma Defu's tongue tied with excitement, Shui Hua smiled brightly.
This smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, so beautiful.
Ma Defu's heart was filled to the brim with this sweet and innocent smile. His heart and eyes were full of water, and there was nothing else.
The two stared at each other for a while, and slowly, the curvature of the corners of their mouths became wider and wider.
The silence speaks.
"Sister Shuihua!"
It wasn't until Mai Miao ran over excitedly that the atmosphere at the scene was broken.
"Sister Shuihua!"
Shui Hua turned her eyes, looked at Mai Miao who was running out of breath with a smile, and gently smoothed her hair.
"Look at you running away. Your hair is all messed up. What's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?"
Mai Miao did not answer directly, but silently glanced at Ma Defu who was standing aside.
Shui Hua immediately understood after taking a look. She probably wanted to talk to her about something private, so she took Mai Miao's hand and said hello to Ma Defu while holding Mai Miao's hand.
"Defu, let's talk to Mai Miao about something, and you can go back first."
"Okay."
Ma Defu nodded with a smile, turned around and walked towards his yard.
Although he did not achieve his goal today, when he heard the love words Shui Hua said just now, he felt that it didn't matter whether he had money or not. What really mattered was that he and Shui Hua could get together.
After a while, Ma Defu returned to his small courtyard. Li Jie couldn't help but wonder when he saw his cheap son who looked stupidly happy.
"What? Did you give away the money?"
"without."
Ma Defu still maintained a silly look and shook his head.
Li Jie smiled slightly. The expression on Ma Defu's face was too familiar to him. Scientific research has shown that men and women in the period of passionate love often burst into giggles for no apparent reason. Well, it was exactly the same as Ma Defu's current state.
"Then why are you laughing? You're smiling like a fool."
"..."
Ma Defu chuckled and ran into the house without saying anything.
