1970s: After Transmigrating, the Fake Heiress Returns to the Village to Grow Sweet Potatoes

Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...

Chapter 375 My 99-Point Husband

Although she could take a break from school to have a baby, Lin Yu didn't want to do that.

Her plan was to wait until she graduated, started working, and settled down before getting pregnant and having children.

Grandma Lin said worriedly, "But you're only twenty-five this year. By the time you graduate and start working, you'll be twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and Yunze will be over thirty..."

In the countryside, children of their age should already be in elementary school.

Now that Lin Yu is delaying again and again, Grandma Lin finds it hard to accept.

As a mother, Shim Chin-ni supported her daughter in prioritizing her studies.

But what worried her was Li Huizhu's attitude.

Gu Yunze is not young anymore, and Lin Yu is still delaying having children. Will Li Huizhu be able to accept this?

If her mother-in-law has a problem with her, can Lin Yu still live a happy life?

Lin Yu found it amusing that she couldn't even fully control her reproductive rights and had to consider the opinions of so many people.

In her opinion, as long as she and Gu Yunze had reached an agreement, there would be no problem.

But now it seems that others don't think that way.

Lin Yu was on the verge of anger, and Gu Yunze could tell, so he quickly stepped forward and said:

"Mom and Dad, Grandma, I agree that Xiaoyu should have another child in two years. My mom is still a little hesitant, but I will take the responsibility of talking to her."

He patted Lin Yu's chest and said, "Leave it to me, you don't need to worry."

Lin Yu's anger was instantly extinguished.

A smile spread across her face: "Yes, it's settled then."

This matter should have been discussed between Gu Yunze and his mother, so Lin Yu didn't say anything more.

When Li Huizhu heard about their plan, she found it hard to accept and even tried to find Gu Henglin to persuade her son.

But her son insisted on his own opinion, and Li Huizhu had no choice.

In the end, all he could do was say, "Whatever."

Seeing that Li Huizhu had compromised, Lin Yu was not ungrateful and showered her understanding mother-in-law with compliments.

Although this matter has nothing to do with others and is her own decision, her mother-in-law's open-mindedness is better than causing family conflicts.

Li Huizhu's quiet acceptance of the situation greatly reduced the trouble for Lin Yu.

Knowing what was good for her, Lin Yu pulled Gu Yunze to the department store.

Lin Yu planned to buy some gifts for both sets of parents to curry favor with them.

Gu Yunze was dragged into this situation to be used as a tool, without any complaints. As long as he could be with Lin Yu, he was willing to go anywhere.

The department store in the north of the city is very high-end and is the most fashionable place in the city.

The first floor is divided into two sides: one side has a food counter, and the other side has a skincare and cosmetics counter.

This has already attracted some big foreign brands to the domestic market. Apart from established domestic brands like Pechoin, there are many domestic brands that Lin Yu is unfamiliar with.

She also has her own set of cosmetics, which she bought in Haicheng. She used that set to do her makeup for her wedding.

The two mothers from the Lin and Gu families are not very old, so Lin Yu plans to buy them a set of cosmetics as well.

She tried them out before buying them and tried her best to choose suitable colors for them.

Gu Yunze watched for a long time but couldn't see any difference between the colors.

But he didn't say anything, and quietly followed and watched.

The saleswoman also told Lin Yu, "Your husband is such a nice person, willing to come shopping with you."

Lin Yu followed her gaze to Gu Yunze, who was standing ramrod straight beside her. She raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Is that all?"

The saleswoman nodded and said, "It's rare. Often, men can't wait and keep urging us, or they just leave. It's rare to find someone like your husband who is willing to stay by your side and doesn't point fingers."

Lin Yu shook her head and said, "You mean it's rare, which means it does happen. Actually, what he does is just normal practice. It's only because someone is comparing it to something that you think it's an excellent quality."

The saleswoman didn't understand what she meant: "Isn't this good enough? Some men not only refuse to go shopping with their wives, but they also complain that things are too expensive when their wives want to buy them."

“There are all kinds of people in this world. If you compare a score of 60 with a score of 20, you will naturally think that the score of 60 is particularly good, but in reality, that is just the basic passing grade,” Lin Yu said, spreading his hands.

The sales clerk asked in confusion, "You mean your husband only scored 60?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "In my heart, he is 99 points, but accompanying me to go shopping is just normal practice."

Girl, what I mean is, don't be too easily moved when dating men.

The saleswoman seemed to understand something: "Why do you feel that his companionship while shopping with you was merely adequate?"

Lin Yu knows that many women like to put themselves in a very low position and ignore how much they have contributed.

So I asked her, "If a man wants to buy a car and his wife accompanies him, do you think that man would be very touched?"

The sales clerk shook her head: "That's perfectly normal..."

She suddenly understood; that explained why she had felt something was off.

It becomes clear once the genders are switched.

After giving her a long explanation, Lin Yu paid the bill and left.

Little did she know that what she said planted a seed in the saleswoman's heart, which would later take root and sprout.

When a blind date tells her, "I'm so good to you. If I hadn't brought you out, I wouldn't be eating such good food outside. My mom is so frugal. You'd better take good care of her in the future."

The sales clerk sensed something was amiss, changed her perspective, and answered him:

"But you ate more of these things, and I even split the cost with you. Your mother is frugal, and so is my mother. So why isn't it you being filial to your mother and me being filial to my mother?"

Her blind date looked very upset after hearing what she said, turned around and left, and kept talking behind her back about how she was unfilial.

But she never felt it was her fault.

I am also very grateful to have met such a unique customer, who taught me to cherish myself.

......

After buying cosmetics, Lin Yu planned to go upstairs to buy clothes.

Gu Yunze followed behind her and asked, "Why did I only get 99 points?"

He was a soldier and had excellent hearing; he heard Lin Yu whispering to the sales clerk.

As for accompanying her shopping, he didn't think he was particularly good.

Just like Lin Yu said, this is just basic operation.

Now that he has time, he should spend more time with his wife, because he might never have such an opportunity again after he returns to his unit.

Gu Yunze cherished the time he could spend with Lin Yu.

But he was very curious as to why he only scored 99 points with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu asked her, "Isn't 99 points enough?"

Gu Yunze pouted and said, "Why not a perfect score?"
