He wanted to get more and earn more so that he could save enough money to get married! He was already 26 years old this year and was considered an over-age single man in the current society. If he still did not get married, he would really become an old man that no one wanted. Nice girls would not want to be with him.
Young girls around the age of 17 or 18 would usually look for young or successful men. Who would be interested in a poor and unsuccessful old man?
He had his own goals in life as well. At the very least, he wanted to have a wife who knew how to lead a good life. As the saying went, marrying a good wife would bless three generations with riches! Xiao Zhu's parents passed away when he was very young and he had been scavenging since he was 13 years old to support himself. He did not want his children to have a tough life.
He only understood these things after he saw Zhao Fei succeed in life.
