Chapter 4033 4035 [Qin Tian’s marriage]
Just when Qin Tian started dating, Xiang Nan continued to write novels, stock stocks, and continued his studies.
In the spring of 2002, he released a new novel "For Whom the Wind Dew Stands at Midnight".
It tells the story of Su Rushi, a talented girl who was born as a concubine in the Ming Dynasty. When faced with a series of setbacks such as the suppression of her aunt, the death of her father, and the confiscation of her family, she remained neither humble nor arrogant, persevered, and worked hard to manage her family. In the end, she not only protected her home, but also found her own destiny. The story is about a man who wishes you well, helps him serve the country, and finally achieves a happy life.
After this novel was released, it has been welcomed by many young female readers. The first printing of 300,000 copies sold out in less than a month, making it very popular among young female readers.
For them, reading this kind of exciting novel is as enjoyable as boys watching Jin Yong’s martial arts.
On the one hand, this novel is from the perspective of the heroine, and it is also a novel about a heroine.
Although the heroine Su Rushi was born as a concubine and was suppressed by her aunt since she was a child, and even maids and mothers dared to bully her, she is smart and capable, and is proficient in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knitting needlework.
And through her own abilities, she overthrew the maids, mothers, aunts, etc. who bullied her, and finally found a husband and protected the entire family.
Such refreshing writing routines are very popular among female readers. For example, "Do you know, it should be green, fat, red and thin", "Beauty's Scheming", "Story of Yanxi Palace", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", etc. are all of this type.
On the one hand, the main customers for physical book consumption are young female readers. According to statistics, the spending power of female readers is twice as much as that of male readers.
Hence, novels with a female perspective are more likely to be favored by female readers. Because of this, at the beginning of the millennium, many writers started out by writing romance novels dominated by women.
For example, Guo Jingming has written "How Many Flowers Have Fallen in Dreams", "The Summer Solstice Has Not Arrive", "Sadness Turns into a River Against the Current", and "Little Times", Ming Xiaoxi has written "Tornado Girl", "Mingruo Xiaoxi", and Rao Xueman has written "Left Ear", "Hourglass"...
Xiang Nan writes either to become famous or to make more money, so naturally he writes about whatever subject matter sells best. Anyway, he is not planning to become a literary giant.
In the end, "For Whom the Wind Dew Stands at Midnight" sold millions of copies, bringing millions more in royalties to Xiang Nan.
…
At the same time that Xiang Nan was making a fortune in the literary world, Qin Tian's blind dates encountered many setbacks, and several of his blind dates fell through.
In fact, his personal conditions are pretty good. He owns a house and a store. I can’t say how rich he is, but at least he is considered to be in the middle level.
It’s just that he is introverted, not good at words, and doesn’t know how to coax other girls, so he has failed to talk to several people he introduced.
Qin Baishun had no choice but to continue asking people to introduce him to his eldest grandson. After all, he is about to turn thirty, and if he doesn't get married, it will be too late.
At the same time, Wang Di also wrote several short stories one after another.
After Xiang Nan corrected it for him, he recommended it to magazines such as "Story Club" and "Youth Digest". In the end, these stories were adopted, and Wang Di earned several royalties.
As a result, he became more and more confident and his desire to create became stronger.
Time flies. Three months later, Qin Tian actually found a partner by himself instead of relying on a blind date. It turned out that at his door, there was a woman pushing a tricycle and setting up a stall selling braised meat. She was a thirty-one-year-old widow with an eight-year-old girl.
The husband used to be a worker, but after he was laid off, he was in a bad mood and drank too much every day. He eventually died of liver cancer, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother with no one to care for her. She had to make some side dishes at home and sell them on the street.
However, itinerant vendors like this are often driven away by urban management, so business is not easy to do and life is difficult.
Although Qin Tian is introverted, he has a kind heart. Seeing that she was always being chased around, it was really pitiful, so he often helped her sell braised food on his behalf. After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other.
The little widow feels that although Qin Tian is dull and not good at talking, he is kind-hearted, down-to-earth and capable, which is actually rare. Qin Tian also felt that although the woman was a widow with a child, she was hardworking, capable, and unpretentious. He also had a good impression of her, and the two of them got closer and closer.
Qin Baishun was very dissatisfied when he learned about this. I feel that with the conditions of the eldest grandson, marrying a yellow girl will not be a problem. After all, he has a big house and a shop, and he is a boss.
And that woman is not only a widow, she is also two years older than her grandson, and the key is that she is a dragster. It was not very decent for his grandson to be a stepfather just after he got married, so he was not happy about it.
Xiang Nan feels that it is not easy for a person like Qin Tian to fall in love with a woman. The key is that the woman also likes him. This is a two-way relationship, which is even more rare.
If Huang is involved, Qin Tian's stubborn character may never be emotional again in the future.
Therefore, Xiang Nan urged his grandfather not to interfere with his eldest brother's choice, "Grandpa, this matter depends on my eldest brother's wishes. Let's not make any mistakes."
"I think your eldest brother deserves better. How can that widow deserve him?" Qin Baishun sighed, "Besides, he is a second marriage and has his own children. How can he be devoted to your eldest brother? "
Xiang Nan nodded and admitted that what he said made sense.
The marriage between husband and wife halfway is originally based on profit. Especially if there are children in the middle, it will be even more troublesome.
"Then I'll check out that woman's background. If she's the kind of person who's going through life and really likes Big Brother, then let's not fight each other, or we'll think of other ways." Xiang Nan suggested.
“Alright.” Qin Baishun nodded.
If Xiang Nan is the one who makes the most money in the Qin family, he will naturally be the one in charge. Qin Baishun also respects Xiang Nan's opinions on many matters.
Xiang Nan conducted a detailed investigation on the widow, mother and daughter.
Qin Baishun is most worried that the widow married Qin Tian for his money and to help him raise her children.
When the child has grown up, helped her arrange a job and a house, provided her with enough money, and Qin Tian is old, then the widow will kick him away and go with her daughter. This kind of thing It has never been uncommon. In rural areas, it is called "eating bachelors."
Xiang Nan was also worried about this, so in order to avoid this, he visited and interrogated their neighbors, relatives, friends, colleagues, classmates, and even their mother and daughter.
With his ability, as long as he is willing, even if he lives in the widow's house, the mother and daughter will not find out, so he can obtain the most accurate first-hand information.
Through his investigation, he found that the widow was quite good and really wanted to live with Qin Tian.
The widow's daughter is also very sensible. She not only studies well, but also often helps the widow with work. She is not a lazy, lazy, greedy, and delusional character, so Xiang Nanxian approved it.
