When Niu Zhenjie heard Li Dahui ask about his parents, he knew that he hadn't taken his anger out on them.
"My parents are fine, they just don't like going out much."
As for why I don't like going out, I know the reason even if I don't want to.
Ma Lianhua pouted: "Afraid of losing face."
If she had spoken softly, it would have been fine, but she stood next to the two of them and spoke very loudly.
Niu Zhenjie dared not refute, his face turning red with suppressed rage.
Li Dahui patted him on the shoulder and then said to Ma Lianhua, "Aunt Ma, the sweet potatoes have arrived. Didn't you want to start working? Can we get started now?"
Ma Lianhua was the kind of person who loved to watch the drama unfold, so Li Dahui had no choice but to send her away.
Before she could say anything more, Lin Yu called out to her, "Aunt Ma, we can start working now! If you don't come to work soon, your wages will be deducted!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Lianhua didn't care about Li Dahui's brother-in-law anymore and ran over.
"Xiaoyu, you can't do this. I just wanted to say a few words..."
Lin Yu gave Li Dahui a look and urged Ma Lianhua and the other workers to go inside and start working.
Li Dahui smiled and walked out with Niu Zhenjie to see him off.
Niu Zhenjie looked at Li Dahui, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Brother Dahui, I'm sorry."
Li Dahui understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Zhenjie, I've never blamed you. I know that neither you nor Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu knew anything. If you did..."
“I definitely won’t hide it from you,” Niu Zhenjie replied quickly.
Actually, Niu Zhenjie felt that Li Dahui was more like his older brother than his older sister Niu Xiaohua.
He would take him out to play, and when they came back from the county town, he would bring him candy. He also taught him a lot of things.
Therefore, if he knew about Niu Xiaohua's messy affairs, he would definitely not have helped her.
Li Dahui nodded: "I believe you, you're a good kid."
Zhenjie, even though we can't be family anymore, you can still come to me if you need help. Just consider me a friend.
Niu Zhenjie: "Well, Brother Dahui, thank you. I don't know how to say it, but thank you so much for not blaming me."
Although he is already capable of taking on responsibilities in place of his parents, he is still essentially a seventeen-year-old child.
Li Dahui was like an older brother to him, and he was crying as he spoke.
"Brother Dahui, the brigade leader told me to work hard and be as successful as you in the future. I will definitely work hard."
Seeing him crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, Li Dahui felt a little sad.
He comforted him, saying, "A man doesn't cry easily. Don't cry. Work hard, and you'll definitely amount to something in the future."
His sister was arrested, and his parents refused to go out for fear of losing face, but he did not back down and dared to stand up and face it.
Now I've also been assigned the task of delivering sweet potatoes.
Li Dahui felt that Niu Zhenjie was a promising young man.
Encouraged by Li Dahui, Niu Zhenjie, as if injected with chicken blood, strode back with steady steps.
After seeing him off at the brigade, Li Dahui turned and left.
She wondered if Ou Manqing had misunderstood anything and that she needed to go back and explain.
As a result, he and Lin Yuan had another mission and had to set off for the county town.
Seeing the lingering look in his eyes before he left, Lin Yu clicked her tongue and said, "Oh, Manqing, look at the way he looks at you. He seems to want to tie you to his belt and take you with him."
Ou Manqing rolled her eyes at her: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Hmph, stop pretending. If you're happy, then be happy."
This European-style boy loves to put on an indifferent and nonchalant expression, but he's actually secretly overjoyed.
Lin Yu had long seen through this woman.
Ou Manqing wasn't afraid of her knowing her true personality, after all, she had long considered Lin Yu and Song Meili as her own people.
Song Meili was a little worried: "Why is he so nice to that former brother-in-law? He even helped him move goods and saw him off. Aren't you angry?"
Ou Manqing shook his head: "He is a kind and good person."
Because he was a kind-hearted person, he wouldn't hold a grudge against Niu Zhenjie because of Niu Xiaohua's situation.
Ou Manqing admires his genuine and sincere kindness, so she doesn't care about these things.
Besides, she knew that Li Dahui was worried she would misunderstand and would come to explain soon.
Song Meili didn't understand. She felt that Ou Manqing's image had become very noble. "You are truly magnanimous."
If it were her, she would mind.
Lin Yu shook her head and said to Song Meili, "How could we possibly understand other people's dating life?"
Song Meili, hands on her hips, said, "You have a boyfriend too, who cares about 'us'? Right now, I'm the only one in the whole world without a boyfriend!"
Lin Yu asked her, "You want to find a partner? What kind of person do you like?"
Song Meili's ideal type is the gentle, scholarly type; he should be slim, have fair skin, and be pretty.
"Oh, it's a young, handsome man."
"What 'little fresh meat'?" Song Meili didn't understand her description from the future. But thinking about those three words, it did seem to mean that.
Ou Manqing passed away a long time ago, and I had never heard of this description. So I didn't suspect anything.
Song Meili nodded: "Yes, he's a young, handsome man."
"Also, he has to come from a good family so that I can live a good life."
She was attracted to Zhang Bing for two reasons: first, because he was good-looking, and second, because he came from a family of government officials.
Following him will allow us to return to the city and live a better life.
Song Meili's requirements were so superficial, so Zhang Bing originally met her requirements perfectly.
But she later realized: "Character is more important!"
Men like Zhang Bing, who always try to hide behind others and shift all the blame onto women, are not worth having.
Lin Yu thought for a moment, racking her brains for people she knew, but none of them matched.
Her second brother, Lin Yuan, was good-looking, but he was too dark-skinned and had muscles from working.
He wasn't the skinny type; he was tall and strong. He wasn't as good at hunting as Li Dahui, but he was more robust than the other educated youth like Zhang Bing.
Her brother, Qiao Feng, was even worse off. He was also tall and a soldier, so life wasn't easy following him.
Therefore, Lin Yu couldn't help with her sister's request...
The three quickly moved past this minor incident and returned to the question between Ou Manqing and Li Dahui.
“My great-aunt and my grandma were discussing finding a matchmaker to propose marriage yesterday. Manqing, are you aware of this?”
Ou Manqing nodded. She had already accepted Li Dahui's marriage proposal. He said he had saved up enough money and would have his mother come to propose marriage.
Now that she knew, Lin Yu was no longer worried.
She was afraid that Li Dahui hadn't told Ou Manqing, and that he might catch her off guard and put her in a difficult position.
Although Lin Yu knew this was the official couple, she was still afraid of any unexpected twists and turns.
Ou Manqing understood her feelings. The fact that she could think of herself and not favor Li Dahui proved that she regarded her as a good friend.
"Manqing, aren't you getting married soon?" Song Meili asked in surprise.
"We'll decide on a date after the marriage proposal," Ou Manqing nodded and said.
"No way, how come I didn't know about this? There are things I, Song Meili, haven't heard about?"
I thought she was surprised by the marriage, but it turns out she was heartbroken that she didn't become a paparazzi?
