At Li Yong's house, He Yuzhu carefully observed Wang Qiang.

They wanted to find some clues from Wang Qiang, because what he said was too outrageous and illogical.

Wang Qiang thought to himself, why does He Yuzhu like to stare at men?

Seeing the change in Wang Qiang's expression, He Yuzhu coughed a few times to cover his embarrassment. Had he been a bit too forward?

He Yuzhu smiled and spoke.

"Brother Wang, it's not that I don't believe what you're saying, it's just that it's beyond my imagination. Please tell me, is it really true?"

Wang Qiang nodded in response. "Of course it's true. Would I lie to you? You just haven't been to that place yet."

He Yuzhu: "Didn't we see the donkey cart before we got halfway there? And then we saw you guys. Tell me, what's in that cave?"

"Secondly, Sister Qin, how come you look younger after being kidnapped for a while?"

After a moment's thought, Wang Qiang spoke up. "Actually, the scene was indeed very chaotic. These people were some kind of wicked monks, all acting like they were some kind of supernatural being."

“When I arrived, they seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony. Jin Huairu and the other two were unconscious at the time.”

“Those evil monks naturally wouldn’t let me take them away. I had to beat them into submission before I could find a donkey cart and bring Qin Huairu and the other two back on it.”

"As for why Qin Huairu has become younger, I can't say for sure. Maybe those evil monks fed her something?"

"Since you're so interested in this matter, I think you might as well go to that cave, capture a few of the demonic monks, and ask them what's really going on?"

"If they give us poisonous food, we can also get the antidote while we're at it."

"But based on my observation, the three of them don't seem to be poisoned."

After hearing Wang Qiang's words, He Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh.

Those were all things the evil monk made him run over to; wasn't that just suicide? He Yuzhu knew he didn't have Wang Qiang's abilities.

Hearing Wang Qiang's story, Li Yong thought to himself that it must have been quite difficult for him to single-handedly venture into the lion's den and rescue three women.

With a smile on his face, Li Yong looked at Wang Qiang and thought the young man was quite good. He was brave, upright, and had good skills.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he spoke to Wang Qiang.

"Xiao Wang, come this way with me."

After saying that, Li Yong got up and walked towards another bedroom. Wang Qiang nodded and followed behind.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other at the kang table.

Li Yong laughed. "Little Wang, you see, you and my Li Man have a great relationship now, don't you?"

Wang Qiang...it feels like he's about to use some kind of trick.

But he smiled and said, "Brother Li, Li Man and I are indeed very good friends."

Li Yong nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, good friends are good. Li Man is getting on in years; she's reached the age to talk about marriage."

"Think it over carefully. My Li Man is indeed quite good, and I believe she is a good match for you."

Wang Qiang... he really pulled the bait.

But if he agrees to marry Li Man today, there will be endless troubles. Anyway, Li Man hasn't told him yet, so he can keep it a secret for now.

Wang Qiang pretended to be in a difficult position, and Li Yong just kept staring at him.

Li Yong secretly wanted to laugh. This filial son still liked to pretend. Li Man, a grown woman, was more than a match for you.

Wang Qiang suddenly slapped his thigh and spoke.

“Brother Li, something doesn’t seem right. Since I call you ‘brother,’ how can I marry your daughter? Wouldn’t that mess up the family hierarchy?”

"If you're really worried about Li Man's marriage, I'll find you a reliable family later. Don't worry, she'll only enjoy life, not suffer."

"Being waited on hand and foot, living the life of a pampered young mistress is no problem."

Li Yong nodded kindly. "Xiao Wang, I wasn't wrong about you. You really are a good comrade."

Wang Qiang was speechless for a moment, realizing that he had no other choice but to do this.

At this moment, Chen Jing and Qin Huairu were busy cooking in the kitchen. Li Man was helping to wash the vegetables.

Chen Jing felt a pang of sadness as she watched Li Man busily making herself at work.

I was hoping my daughter would find a good family to marry into, but who knew she'd encounter something like this? I feel like her life is over.

Chen Jing's attitude towards Wang Qiang is complicated now; she's grateful to him for saving her, but also resentful of what he did.

It wouldn't be bad if Li Man could really marry him.

Although Wang Qiang is not a cadre, he is a formal employee.

Now that he can purchase such a large amount of supplies outside, and he also has a mysterious space of his own, his future prospects are limitless.

At this moment, Li Man was washing vegetables while listening intently to the sounds outside.

In front of Chen Jing and Qin Huairu, Li Man acted very proactively.

Qin Huairu was in a very good mood at this moment; the young girl in front of her was quite sensible.

She knows how to make choices and is capable. I'll talk to Wang Qiang about getting her a job as a concubine.

When people are in a good mood, conversation becomes much more casual, and the three of them talking in the kitchen become even more harmonious.

Qin Huairu looked out the window and said, "Li Man, you're a cultured person too, so what are your thoughts on the future?"

Li Man was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

Qin Huairu turned her head and smiled. "What do you mean 'it's nothing'? Don't worry. We can talk about anything, good or bad. After all, we've already been honest with each other, and we should communicate our true feelings."

Li Man's expression turned serious. "Sister Qin, since that's the case, then I'll speak my mind."

"I definitely want to marry Wang Qiang in the future, and I think what happened is already in the past."

"Let's all treat what happened before as a dream from now on. No one is allowed to mention it again. Everyone should go back to their own lives."

"Sister Qin, I think He Yuzhu is interested in you. Why don't you develop a relationship with him instead of competing with me for Brother Wang Qiang?"

Li Man poured out all her thoughts in one go.

Qin Huairu was very surprised when she heard this, as she naturally knew what Li Man was thinking.

But Li Man didn't expect that He Yuzhu would see through her feelings for her.

Chen Jing nodded with satisfaction. "I didn't expect you to be so insightful, Li Man. This arrangement is reasonable. Let's just pretend that everything that happened before was just a dream."

Qin Huairu thought to herself, "You two, mother and daughter, are quite a good match, effectively eliminating me from the competition."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and then said, "Logically speaking, Li Man, what you said is quite right, but as for who Brother Wang wants to marry, that's up to Brother Wang."

"No matter how well we talk here, it's useless. In the end, the decision still rests with Brother Wang himself."
