Chapter 7 Chapter 7 "Bleeding."

It seemed unnecessary to stay any longer, so she quietly went to the main room to clear the table.

After everything was done and the couple had finished their heart-to-heart talk, they turned around and took their daughter to talk.

Ye Tan was sandwiched in the middle and couldn't help yawning. She wanted to sleep.

Ye Jianguo smiled and gently patted Ye Tan's tilted head, saying lovingly: "You're sleeping right after eating, be careful not to indigestion."

Xu Huiling couldn't help but laugh at her. She gently tapped her forehead with her finger and scolded her, "You mischievous little thing! I think I need to find someone crueler to control your laziness."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tan hugged Xu Huiling and swayed her around, acting coquettishly: "Oh, I don't care. As long as my parents like me and are willing to let me marry him, I would be willing to marry him even if he has to whip me to work every day."

Xu Huiling couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard her say this pitifully.

She thought about it carefully and wondered what would happen if someone really used a whip to urge her daughter to work every day.

Thinking of this, her brows unconsciously frowned, and she suddenly felt uneasy about having any man as her son-in-law.

She turned around to look at her husband who was looking at the mother and daughter with a smile, and sighed helplessly.

After Ye Tan went back to the house for a nap, the couple sat there quietly, looking at the sun outside.

The sunlight shines in the yard, casting mottled light and shadows, as if time has become slow and long at this moment.

Ye Jianguo sighed slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. "Raising a daughter is so difficult. We have to take good care of her from the moment she is born, hoping that she will grow up healthy and happy. But after raising her with great difficulty, she will have to marry off and live with someone else in the future. We won't be able to see whether she is doing well or not."

At this point, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with worry about his daughter's unknown future.

After hearing what the man said, Xu Huiling felt a little uncomfortable.

She thought about her daughter's future marriage and felt uneasy, so she agreed with the man and said, "What else can we do? We can't just keep her at home and not let her go out. I'm afraid if we keep her around, she'll end up becoming an enemy."

Ye Jianguo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out, "Then why not just find a live-in son-in-law?"

Xu Huiling was stunned when she heard this, then turned to look at her husband and said in surprise, "A live-in son-in-law? Putting aside the fact that we have a son like Yanlin, who in ordinary families would be willing to be a live-in son-in-law? Even if they were willing, how good would it be?"

Ye Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then realized that his idea was a bit whimsical. He smiled and said, "Yeah, that's right. This is indeed not very realistic."

Xu Huiling smiled and said, "Let's look carefully later, including looking at the young people in your factory. We don't need to rush to decide. Once we have a firm grasp on it, we can show it to Xiao Tan."

Ye Jianguo nodded. After all, their daughter was not that old, so there was no need to rush into marriage. They could always find a good one if they took their time.

Xu Huiling glanced into the room and said, "I think Xiao Tan has become a lot more lively now that she's figured it out."

Ye Jianguo: "Isn't this a good thing? Our girl has always loved to talk and laugh, but she only became less talkative after she started dating Li Congjun."

"Sometimes he was dazed and I was worried when I saw him. Now he's fine, I feel relieved."

*

After a few days, the wound on Ye Tan's forehead completely disappeared, leaving only a slight blue mark.

The temperature outside also dropped, and the sun was no longer as scorching as before, as if it could roast people into jerky.

People who were trapped at home also started to go out, some to visit neighbors, some to take a walk, and especially those who were trying to make matchmakers were extremely active.

After Ye Jianguo's efforts, Ye Tan's case also began to make progress.

So today, Ye Tan went to the department store to buy clothes at the behest of his mother.

As for why we said we were not in a hurry but are now in a hurry, it is all because of the recent rumors that the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement is about to begin again.

Ye Tan was not an only child and was of the right age, but he was classified as such even though he didn't have a job.

The news suddenly broke out the day after the broken engagement, which made Ye Jianguo and Xu Huiling very anxious.

Even her eldest brother, Ye Yanlin, frowned and sighed when he saw her at home, asking what was the point of getting married?, while turning around and picking up the young man next to him.

Ye Jianguo also sought help from the factory women's federation, and Xu Huiling also began to ask the girls around her who had a good relationship with her to introduce a partner to her daughter.

There was no way. Their daughter had been brought up by them and their husband, not to mention being spoiled. They had never asked her to carry a bucket, so how could she do rural work? If she really went to the countryside, she would be badly hurt.

But my daughter didn't get a job and didn't want to go to the countryside unless she got married and started a family.

Fortunately, Ye Jianguo and Xu Huiling were popular both in the factory and among their neighbors and friends. As soon as they announced that they were looking for a partner for their daughter, photos of more than a dozen young men were placed in front of them.

Although many people knew about Ye Tan's breakup with her ex-boyfriend recently, Ye Tan's reputation was well-known, and there were countless young men who were jealous of her.

When they learned that Ye Tan's marriage was being pressed, they could only be happy. After all, only when the marriage was pressed did they have a chance.

That is to say, some conservative parents will make a few picky remarks, but they cannot suppress the enthusiasm of their children who are budding in love.

Ye Jianguo and Xu Huiling did not rush to try any possible means, but picked out a few people from the photos, who were said to have good character and family background. They planned to let their daughter meet them first when they got home.

This is why Ye Tan came out to buy clothes early this morning.

There was no bicycle at home, so Ye Tan walked slowly under the shade of the trees.

When they arrived at the place and looked at the three-story building, Ye Tan leaned on his hands and looked at the big words on it.

There are no fancy decorations, just six simple words - Lake City Department Store.

She walked in and came to the clothing area. The styles were similar. The most common ones were shirts and trousers. If you wanted to be more fashionable, you would choose a braid.

But Ye Tan was not interested in dresses. After picking and choosing, she finally bought a white top and paired it with a blue pleated maxi skirt.

After buying my own, I remembered that I saw Ye Jianguo’s socks were so tight that the toes were visible a few days ago, so I bought two pairs of nylon socks for Comrade Ye Jianguo.

After buying the necessities, Ye Tan started to stroll around casually. He didn’t want to buy anything, but was just curious about what shopping malls looked like in this era.

After walking around for a while, I unknowingly arrived at the watch selling area.

In her previous life, she was used to wearing watches, but here, the only watch in the Ye family was the one that Comrade Ye Jianguo had worn for more than ten years, so she had to take good care of it.

Ye Tan planned to find out the price and heard that the cheapest one was more than 80 yuan, and he had to have a ticket to buy it.

Ye Tan didn't have even ten dollars in his private treasury, so he couldn't afford the purchase. He could only leave in disappointment, and he didn't even have the heart to continue strolling around.

Ye Tan walked out of the mall carrying something. Outside, the sun was shining through layers of clouds, making people's eyes hurt.

Ye Tan closed his sore eyes slightly, but his steps never stopped.

When she opened her eyes again, a bicycle was rushing towards her.

Ye Tan panicked and quickly dodged to the side. The cyclist also tried to change direction, but the bicycle still brushed past Ye Tan's shoulder.

Ye Tan successfully avoided the collision of his upper body, but his leg was caught on the pedal of the bicycle.

"Oh no!"

Ye Tan cried out in pain, lost his balance instantly, staggered and fell to the ground.

The ground, which had been scorched by the sun for half a day, was extremely hot. Ye Tan hissed subconsciously when he touched it.

But the touch only lasted for a moment, and after the initial discomfort passed, it was still bearable.

What made her feel even more uncomfortable at the moment was her legs.

She took a deep breath, endured the pain, slowly pulled open her trouser legs and took a look.

I saw a deep red scratch on my leg, bleeding.

"It's bleeding." A cold voice came from above.
