Chapter 572 You Shouldn’t Hate Xiao Yan

"Then don't regret it towards me." Lu Qin's mother blocked it back directly.

For Xiaoman's sake, she really tried her best to restrain herself.

Isn’t it the path that you choose yourself?

You can't just poop yourself and then turn around and blame the dog for doing it. Is that okay?

"I regret it." Zhang Heyao's voice was filled with pain. "I have regretted it all these years."

"There's no point in regretting it." Lu Qiniang couldn't help but say, "If there were regret pills for sale, how many people would buy them?"

She was speechless, paused, and then earnestly advised: "Brother, please help me raise Xiaoman. I will never forget your kindness in this life or the next. Your Zhang family has been very kind to Xiaoman and me."

She has always admitted this.

And I also hope that I will have the opportunity to repay Zhang Heyao in the future.

The past grudges have long been forgotten in her heart.

Aren’t you all married?

"But," Lu Qiniang changed the subject and looked directly at Zhang Heyao, "You hate Xiao Yan in your heart, and I don't think that's right."

"Should I thank him for stealing my love?" Veins on Zhang Heyao's forehead were throbbing.

"I'm not stealing anything from you. You just don't want it." Lu Qiniang patiently reasoned with him.

She thought that Zhang Heyao was very patient with Xiaoman.

So today, she must also persuade Zhang Heyao patiently and kindly.

So she suppressed her irritability and tried to stay calm.

"Xiao Yan and I were truly together after you married someone else and left me."

Zhang Heyao really couldn't deny this.

At one point, Xiao Yan even pretended to be sympathetic and moved out to make room for him.

"You can't say that because you married someone else, you won't let me marry. The thing is, I might meet Xiao Yan, or I might meet Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Er Mazi, but no matter who I end up with, brother, it doesn't make sense for you to resent them."

"I chose Xiao Yan because I thought we were a good match. He's my husband, but he doesn't take your place."

Lu Qiniang felt that whether she got married or not had nothing to do with Zhang Heyao.

Isn’t there a word called “avoid suspicion”?

Zhang Heyao is all in the past, and I shouldn’t ask her about her future.

"Xiao Yan is dead, but his place hasn't been vacated. He's still in my heart." Lu Qiniang said seriously, "Brother, it's not what you think. I, Lu Qiniang, want to be with either him or you. You have nothing to do with it."

Zhang Heyao was deeply hurt by her straightforwardness.

"I used to like you, but later I fell in love with Xiao Yan. You let me down, and that made me give up. But Xiao Yan didn't let me down. Even though he's dead, I'll miss him all my life."

"Brother, Xiao Yan and I are living very well. I can't forget him."

She looked at Zhang Heyao with a frank look in her eyes: "I can only give my true love to a man once. It's like a seed that has been soaked with boiling water. No matter how much I try to remedy it later, it won't sprout."

"...Brother, you have read more books and understand more than me. So it's wrong for you to blame Xiao Yan."

"Although I bought Xiao Yan home, he has been very kind to me in every way."

Lu Qiniang counted them one by one with her fingers.

"He helps take care of my daughter; he taught her skills; he arranged her marriage. He's a good father."

In fact, each of the daughters has been subtly influenced by Xiao Yan.

Daya's forbearance and intelligence, Erya's boldness and carefulness, Sanya's bravery and perseverance, each child's original characteristics have been magnified and lifted higher by Xiao Yan.

"Whether I'm fat or thin, raising chickens or pigs, he's never looked down on me. He silently does all the heavy work at home, and supports me in everything I do. Others praise me, saying, 'Abandoned Mother,' you're getting better and better. But brother, I know he's the one supporting me."

Xiao Yan is a good husband and makes her a better person.

It wasn't easy for both of them in the past, and the two little bitter melons supported each other and managed to get through the day.

"I always knew he was a great hero. But only after I came to the Northwest did I understand how much he had done and what a good general he was."

"Yes, brother, it's not easy for you. But is it easy for Xiao Yan to come this far?"

I was treated as a tool by my family and never enjoyed the warmth of home.

Life has its ups and downs. I have been full of vigor and vitality, but I have also endured the humiliation of being locked in a cage and sold.

But Xiao Yan never said that he was suffering.

"No matter how hard or difficult it was, he never thought of giving up on me."

"Yes, he was a burden to me, forcing me to follow him to Qiongzhou right after I finished my confinement. But brother, he has never given me even the slightest injustice."

"Xiao Yan has done me justice."

"Whether he's alive or dead, I don't want anyone to say anything bad about him."

"Brother, I thank you for bringing Xiaoman to see me. I will really be grateful to you for the rest of my life. I will help you in the future, but the two of us can only be relatives."

It is true that Song Mingzhen had snatched her man away, but now, because she no longer wants this man, she has let it go.

The only thing I can't let go of is the pig, but it seems to have faded a lot as time goes by.

"You and Song Mingzhen are still a couple. I won't get involved in your affairs. Brother, you should go back to the capital as soon as possible. I'm in the northwest and I'm doing fine."

After saying this long string of words, Lu Qiniang looked at Zhang Heyao sincerely, who had a complicated expression.

The eyes silently ask - do you understand?

If you don't understand, she can say it again.

Zhang Heyao wanted to say that Song Mingzhen had never been an obstacle between them, nor had anyone else.

But Lu Qin's mother had already said this, how could he persuade her?

Besides, she would probably get angry.

"Sister, sister, I want more--" Xiaoman said excitedly outside, clapping her hands.

Zhang Heyao looked out the window and saw San Ya squatting, teaching Xiao Man how to draw the bow step by step.

Xiaoman's little face turned red with excitement and her eyes were as bright as stars.

Lu Qin's mother's gaze also lingered on the two children, and the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

Zhang Heyao swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

There is also Xiaoman.

If he stayed a few more days, the mother and son would have more ties.

By then, Lu Qiniang might change her mind.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go out and play with Xiaoman for a while." Lu Qiniang said.

Zhang Heyao nodded and followed her out silently.

Xiaoman couldn't put the little golden bow down.

Seeing this, San Ya said generously: "This is for you. Practice well in the future."

Xiaoman's face was full of surprise, but she couldn't help but look at Zhang Heyao, eagerly waiting for his approval.

Zhang Heyao nodded.

Xiaoman was immediately happy.

"Thank you, Third Sister."

Lu Qiniang couldn't help but find it funny when she saw this.

This little chatterbox doesn't look like Xiao Yan, nor does it look like her.

Xiaoman was very strong. He pulled the little golden bow to its full length and shot at the leaves randomly, having a lot of fun.

Lu Qiniang was almost reluctant to take her eyes off him.

Seeing this, Zhang Heyao said, "Stay and have dinner with Xiaoman."

Lu Qiniang slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, I forgot about dinner. Sanya, go buy some ready-made food and send it back. They are helping to build the pigpen!"

As for her, she naturally had to stay with Xiaoman for a while longer.
