"I really like Fang Yun. She is well-educated and pretty. If our family is lucky enough to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law, it would be a great honor for our ancestors."

A woman in a blue cotton coat held Li Cuiping's hand, her face full of wrinkles as she smiled. Her eyes fell on Xiao Fangyun, and after taking a look, she nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, don't praise her so much. I don't think she's even half as good as your Zechen. She became an officer at such a young age. I've never seen anyone more capable than him in this area."

Li Cuiping looked at the tall guy next to Lu Qi, and the corners of her mouth almost flew up to the sky.

To be honest, this marriage was a lucky coincidence.

A few days ago, an old sister from the neighboring village, Li Cuiping, rolled down the hillside while working and broke her hand, so she came to her to ask Uncle Xiao for help in diagnosis and treatment.

The person who came from the next village carrying the old sisters was Lu Zechen. He said that he happened to pass by and saved the old lady's life, so he sent the people here.

Li Cuiping couldn't handle it all by herself, so she asked Xiao Fangyun, who was reading at home, to come and help.

A beautiful lady and a gentleman are attracted to her. They fall in love at first sight and can hardly control themselves.

Lu Zechen fell in love with the beautiful Xiao Fangyun at first sight and was attracted to her immediately. He suppressed the emotion in his heart and waited until the old sister finished the treatment before running to inquire about everything about her.

He was a rough man who had been leading troops in training for many years, but he liked the scent of books on her body when she held a book.

After getting the information clearly, I asked the matchmaker to come to the house the next day.

At first, Li Cuiping's family was completely confused. They had never heard of such a person in the neighboring village. It was not until the matchmaker told them about his experience that they suddenly realized and remembered this person.

Lu Zechen has been a soldier since he was fifteen years old and has been in the army for ten years.

At that time, his family was poor, and he had no choice but to send his second son to the army, thinking that the country would provide him with food and clothing, which was better than starving to death at home.

Who would have known that this man would rise to prominence from then on, making many military achievements at a young age and becoming a second lieutenant.

Not only that, he was also a filial son. Even though the family had been divided a long time ago, he always gave his monthly allowance to his father and mother and never owed a cent. In addition, he also subsidized the family with a lot of other things.

As time went by, the Lu family's situation was no longer what it used to be. Not only did they live in a big brick house, they also ate fine grains.

Although they are rich, the whole family is honest and low-key, and they have little presence in the neighborhood.

Speaking of which, Lu Zechen is still unmarried at the age of fifteen. One reason is that he is busy with official duties, and the other is that he has high standards.

He looked down on the tough female soldiers in the army, and also looked down on the country woman introduced by his father who was only good at work but not very good-looking.

It kept dragging on like this until I met Xiao Fangyun when I returned home to visit my relatives.

A serious high school student, well-educated, good-looking, and with a very slim figure, the more he looked at her, the more rare she was.

The father of the Lu family respected his idea and was also very satisfied with the Xiao family, so he naturally agreed to the marriage.

The Xiao family has seen so many young men recently, and this Lu Zechen is the most impeccable one. He is tall and strong, and has a promising future. His family members are also honest and reasonable.

Faced with such a son-in-law and in-laws, who can say "no"?

Just like that, the two families were really attracted to each other and immediately set a date for the wedding. Just the day after the wedding, the Lu family was seen off at the door.

Xiao Fangyun lowered her head and looked at the toes of her newly bought leather shoes, her hands tightly clutching the edge of her sleeves. In her ears she could hear the two families chatting reluctantly, but her mind was confused.

These days, she has been having nightmares. In her dreams, the figures of Chen Mu and Shen Li appear from time to time, repeating over and over again, which is almost driving her crazy.

As for Chen Mu, she likes him very much and still can't let him go, but at the same time she also knows how big the distance between them is.

The identities don't match, there's a huge gap between the two families' backgrounds, his relatives come to humiliate him, and his grandmother is firmly opposed...

All of this told her rationally how impossible it was to be alone.

She will never be able to marry Chen Mu in this life.

If you have to get married sooner or later, you might as well marry someone who is liked by your family. This will also show your filial piety.

Xiao Fangyun closed her eyes in pain, thinking about her troubles, when suddenly Luo Qiongzhi tugged at the corner of her clothes, bringing her back to life.

As soon as I looked up, I met Lu Zechen's concerned eyes.

"Yun'er, what are you thinking about? Zechen is talking to you." Luo Qiongzhi glared at Xiao Fangyun with dissatisfaction, then gave two dry laughs to the Lu family.

"Sorry." Xiao Fangyun tucked the hair beside her ears and gave a meaningless smile.

"It's okay. I just wanted to ask you if you are free tomorrow. I want to invite you to go shopping in the county town." Lu Zechen was born with a pair of peach-shaped eyes. When he stared at you, there seemed to be a lot of affection in his eyes, which made you fall into him.

Xiao Fangyun was about to decline, but Luo Qiongzhi beside her immediately spoke for her: "When you are free, come to our house for breakfast tomorrow and pick her up."

Lu Zechen smiled instantly, his eyebrows curved as he said, "Hey, we'll leave first, see you tomorrow."

The last words he said were obviously directed to her. Xiao Fangyun could only smile and watch him leave.

"Look at this young man, he really knows how to handle things." Li Cuiping looked at Lu Zechen's back and praised him, then glared at Xiao Heguo.

Why didn't he show half the enthusiasm of that young man back then?

Xiao Heguo noticed Li Cuiping's glance and touched the back of his head in confusion. He didn't know how he had offended her again, so he simply pretended not to see it.

"You two come in first. I have something to tell Yun'er." Luo Qiongzhi drove the two people who were in the way into the house, took Xiao Fangyun's hand and walked away.

When Chen Mu saw the two people coming towards him, he quickly hid behind the wall or under a big tree.

"Are you still thinking about that kid from the Shen family?" Luo Qiongzhi poked Xiao Fangyun's forehead twice with her index finger in disappointment, and soon the forehead turned red.

Seeing this, Luo Qiongzhi withdrew her hand awkwardly. She didn't use much strength, so how could she poke Yun'er's forehead red? And when did Yun'er become so naive?

Could it be that she had been keeping Yun'er away from going out during this period of time and had given her some food?

Luo Qiongzhi had no idea that all this was because Xiao Fangyun had been insisting on asking Su Nan to give her the Xueyi ointment, which contained Xianquan, so the efficacy was naturally doubled. It was no wonder that the skin became fair and tender.

"I didn't." Xiao Fangyun lowered her head again and retorted in a low voice. Her tone was so unconfident that it was obvious that she was lying.

Chenmu, who was hiding under the tree, was shocked and clenched his fists.

"Are you not sad enough yet? Have you forgotten what Chen's mother said when she came to our house? You don't feel ashamed, but I do. Our Xiao family can't afford to marry into that kind of family, and we don't even bother to marry into it." Luo Qiongzhi was so angry that she kicked the wall twice.

"Xiao Fangyun, I'm telling you, if you insist on marrying him, get out of this house. We will pretend that we never raised you. Your parents don't know about this now, but if they knew, they would beat you to death."
