Chapter 22 (Minor Revision)

Gu Qing drove a military jeep from somewhere. The jeep drove around the county town for a while and then stopped in front of a very quiet alley.

Before the two of them got out of the car, they saw an old man walk over in two or three steps and open the passenger door.

The old man was in good health and didn't look like he needed any care. Yu Yao immediately gave Gu Qing two extra points in her heart.

Because I heard before that this old man Gu was Uncle Zhao's old leader, so he must be of a high rank. Such an old leader must have someone to take care of his daily life, not to mention that Uncle Zhao can visit him often. Gu Qing's family background is also there, so he will definitely find someone to take care of him.

But even so, Gu Qing still let her mother live nearby, probably because she wanted to give her old man some family care.

"Grandpa." The old man glanced at Yu Yao before getting in the car. Yu Yao was a little uncomfortable sitting in the back seat because he couldn't get out of the car to greet him and didn't have any greetings, but he still greeted him honestly.

Old Master Gu smiled kindly, "You must be Miss Yao, right? I've heard everything from Gu Qing. I'm sorry that your family has been wronged this time, but don't worry. Although the engagement is hasty, the wedding will definitely be formal. When the time comes, let this guy give you all his allowances. You can't get used to his habit of hiding his private money."

"Grandpa, sit still, we're setting off." Gu Qing couldn't help but interrupt the old man's nonsense.

Yu Yao covered her lips and smiled. She had to admit, although the old man's words did sound a bit irrelevant, Yu Yao didn't feel nervous at all.

But to be able to say such words, it seems that he really values ​​Yu Yao, or even the Yu family, although it is very likely that he did so because of the pile of things she handed over.

But if these things can gain the favor of her in-laws in the future, Yu Yao thinks it is worth it.

She can earn money on her own, and when she gets married, no one will bully her, so she doesn't have to worry about having a bad life.

As it was not very convenient, the three of them didn't talk much on the way, and Yu Yao even took a nap leaning on the back seat.

When she woke up, the car had already arrived at the commune.

Such military jeeps are extremely rare in Qingyang Village.

There are several people in the village who have served in the army, but none of them has ever come back to drive a four-wheeled vehicle like this. You know, having a bicycle at home is something to be proud of.

So when the car just entered the commune, many people even put down their work in the fields and ran to the side of the road to see who could come to their village.

"Aunt, who is that man? Do you know him?" On the side of the road, a little girl carrying a bag was looking longingly at the jeep passing by in front of her. She had just seen the man in the car clearly. The man was so handsome. If she could marry such a man, she would never have to worry about anything in her life.

The woman next to her tugged at her arm and said, "Who cares who he is? Do you think you can get along with a man like that?"

The person who spoke was Cao Guifang, who had suffered a setback at the Yu family's house before, and the thin and dark girl following her was her niece Cao Meimei.

Cao Meimei's mother was a girl who stayed in the Cao family as a concubine, so Cao Meimei took the Cao family surname. She was well raised at home, but unfortunately she was still far inferior to that dead girl Yu Yao.

Cao Guifang originally wanted to marry her niece to Liu Yang because Jiang Limei didn't know what was good for her. They didn't even want to curry favor with the Liu family. Ugh! How hypocritical!

But after seeing her niece's miserable look, Cao Guifang gave up the idea. How could Liu Yang like this damn girl? She could write the three words "Cao Guifang" backwards.

Since this approach didn't work, she had to find other ways.

As long as the news of Yu Sheng and this girl's unclear relationship gets out, we can see if Jiang Limei will let her sickly son marry this girl.

If you want to marry her, you have to give at least three hundred as the dowry. If you don't want to marry her, you have to spend the money to avoid disaster. Otherwise, you have to let that sickly girl go in to accompany his family.

The more Cao Guifang thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the last one was more satisfying. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even notice the horrifying expression on her face.

"Second Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

Although Cao Meimei felt that her second aunt was going too far, she dared not disobey her second aunt. She had always been pampered at home and the whole family was afraid of her. Now that she was married, she could still call the shots in her parents' home. She was not someone she could afford to offend.

However, before Cao Guifang could answer, she heard a commotion coming from the front.

"Xu Ying, who was that person driving the car just now? I saw him heading towards your house."

Xu Ying had just returned from the supply and marketing cooperative after delivering food to her elder brother. She had also seen the small car just now and was about to get excited when she suddenly remembered what Yu Yao had said to her before, "Auntie, you must have seen it wrong. Was it going to my house or Yu's?"

The loud-voiced lady was stunned for a moment before she said, "I really don't know which family you are from. How can my family know any military officer?"

Xu Ying smiled and said, "Who would know that?" Then she ran away. The auntie behind her couldn't catch up with her, as if there was a dog following her.

She had to hurry to see if it was Yu Yao's blind date, and he was driving a car. Xu Ying jumped up and down, she was really happy for Yu Yao, and she was also happy that Yu Yao could introduce her to a guy in the army in the future.

Naturally, all the words of the two fell into the ears of Cao Guifang and the others behind them. They didn't care to go home first. Cao Guifang glanced at her niece and said, "Fix your hair. I'll take you to see your brother Yu Sheng."

Cao Meimei looks honest, but she is not stupid. Her round eyes reveal her ambition.

After what she just heard, she guessed that the car was heading for the Yu family or the Xu family. No matter which one it was, as long as she went to the Yu family, wouldn't it be natural for her to meet that person?

Although she also knew that Yu Yao was the most beautiful in their commune, what was the use of being beautiful? Her second aunt said that she was being targeted by the rogues in the county, so she was bound to marry into the county.

Before, she envied Yu Yao for being so lucky that she could marry a city man so easily. Now, she wished that Yu Yao had already married that cripple.

As for Yu Sheng, a sickly guy, she doesn't care about him at all.

She didn't dare to show these little thoughts now and could only honestly respond to Cao Guifang's words.

At this moment, the car has stopped in front of Yu's house.

"Mom, that little car really seems to be heading for our house."

Jiang Limei had just been scolding her son for his wild ideas, but she was slapped in the face in an instant because she saw that the girl who got off the car was none other than her third daughter.

"Quick, go and call your brother out."

The child was reluctant to blink when he finally saw a four-wheeled vehicle. He immediately cried out, "Second brother, come out quickly. Third sister is back. Third sister is back in a big car."

It doesn't matter if the bird doesn't howl, because once it howls, even the people working by the river can hear it.

What? A big car?

Third sister, which sister?

Yu Yao, who was below, staggered and almost fell when he heard his adopted brother's shout.

"Be careful." Gu Qing got out of the car and supported her. He had a faint smile on his face. Although it was not as ruffian as before, Yu Yao felt that he was making fun of her.

Yu Yao glared at him subconsciously but said nothing.

Gu Qing's heart started pounding when she glared at him, and even the tips of his ears began to feel hot. He no longer stood there, but strode to the trunk and immediately carried out a backpack from the trunk. The backpack was covered with a piece of cloth, and Yu Yao couldn't see what was in it, but thought it was a gift for the meeting.

She thought they were not prepared because of time constraints, and Yu Yao had already thought of several excuses to help make up for it.

It seems that she was just worrying too much.

By the time the three of them climbed onto the steps in front of the Yu family's courtyard, the car was already surrounded by many members who were waiting to see the show.

Some people thought that the Yu family had committed some crime, which was why the military vehicles came to look for them. However, when they saw that they were dressed casually and were carrying something, it was obvious that they were acquaintances. When they discovered this fact, many people felt jealous.

But the Yu family lived on the hillside, so they had no way of watching the excitement. They couldn't just squat behind someone else's house.

The Yu family didn't care about all that. When they saw Yu Yao going home with a young man and an old man, they already had some guesses in their minds and immediately started sizing each other up.

"Mom, this is Gu Qing, the blind date my eldest sister-in-law introduced me to. This is Gu Qing's grandfather."

"Mother-in-law, please excuse me for coming in such a hurry."

The old man called Jiang Limei "mother-in-law" and she almost wanted to run away. But after all, she had lived for decades and had seen some of the world. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Why... didn't I hear my Yu Ping say that?"

I didn't say anything wrong about the Gu family, but I also didn't quite agree with their behavior of coming to my house without permission.

Yu Yao had to admit that her mother had some real skills.

Yu Yao was a little worried on the way, but after arriving, her worries somehow disappeared.

She had helped Gu Qing so much, so she let the Gu family solve this little problem themselves. This time she stood on her mother's side.

"Auntie, this is what happened. We came here in a hurry because something happened. We have already communicated with Big Brother, and he agrees."

Jiang Limei came to her senses at this moment, "Something happened?"

If this is a bad thing, then it won't do. She will never let her daughter get involved in anything bad.

Seeing that the other party was about to misunderstand, Gu Qing was helpless and explained what happened yesterday.

The version that Jiang Limei and the others have heard now is that Yu Yao and Gu Qing confirmed their relationship yesterday and agreed to wait a few days before visiting the village.

However, during their conversation, Yu Yao accidentally mentioned the Liu family in the county town. Gu Qing felt something was wrong and asked someone to investigate. Upon investigation, they found a big problem.

Later, he was worried that the police station might want to talk to Yu Yao, and because Yu Yao's things fell outside the station and were picked up by Gu Qing, Yu Yao missed the bus home yesterday because she returned to the city, so he took Yu Yao back to his yard to rest.

"But don't worry, auntie. I was working the whole time yesterday and didn't go back to the yard at night."

The other party has said everything, what else can Jiang Limei say?

What surprised her was that Yu Yao was actually involved in a big case in the city. Oh my God, isn't this world outside too scary?

"Auntie also knows that Uncle Zhao's daughter is not in good health, so we did not go to disturb them after what happened yesterday. We came here today in the hope that this incident will not affect Comrade Yu Yao's reputation."

"I was supposed to come and propose to Comrade Yu Yao in two days. Although I came earlier today, I, Mr. Gu, want to marry Comrade Yu Yao with the greatest sincerity. I hope you can consider it carefully."
