"No, I don't want to have an abortion." She had finally found a bargaining chip to coerce Lin Guanghui, and she wouldn't give it up easily. "Guanghui, this is our child. I can't bear to part with it, and I won't abort it. You must marry me."
"I will not marry you."
"Anyway, I won't fight, and you won't marry me. If we're going to die, we'll both die together."
"You." Lin Guanghui gritted his teeth in anger. After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Jiaojiao, let me think about it some more. Here's what we'll do: give me two days to consider. The day after tomorrow afternoon, let's meet at our usual spot behind the mountain and talk about this properly."
Tong Jiaojiao immediately imagined certain scenarios. Lin Guanghui might be looking for her for some reason, and she was sure she could control him.
"Okay, it's a deal. See you there."
"Um."
The next day, just like the previous days, Lin Qingyan took her mother-in-law to the brigade leader's house to give Lu Zhengting acupuncture treatment.
She still only treated Lu Zhengting's legs, leaving another injury.
Song matchmaker's family
As soon as Zheng Yuanchao and his mother arrived, Zheng's mother began urging Song the matchmaker, "Aunt, why haven't you made any progress on the matter I asked you to handle? Have you contacted Lin the educated youth yet?"
Matchmaker Song said, "I've been too busy to find a wife, and I haven't been able to run into Lin Zhiqing by chance. Li Dana from the west asked me to find a wife for his son, Zhang Xingwang from the east also asked me to find a wife for his son, and Liu Dazhu from the south..."
"Alright, alright, Aunt, stop talking so much. Go ask Xiao Lin now." Mother Zheng seemed a little anxious. "Here's what you'll do: just tell Xiao Lin that I asked you to find her, to introduce our Yuanchao to her as a potential partner. Don't let anyone else beat you to it and snatch Lin away."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuanchao was overjoyed and looked at the matchmaker, Song, with anticipation. "Grandma, we'll have to trouble you to go to the trouble. If Lin Zhiqing and I get together, we'll definitely give you a big red envelope, and I'll bring you gifts every year during festivals."
Matchmaker Song smiled. "Yuanchao, your aunt can see how much you like Lin Zhiqing. Don't worry, leave this to me. Let me tell you, Lin Zhiqing is a rare find, and I bet she has high standards. She might not like other people I introduce her to, but if I introduce you, with your and your family's good qualities, how could Lin Zhiqing possibly object?"
The more the matchmaker Song talked, the happier Zheng Yuanchao became: "Grandma, I knew my grandma would care about my affairs. I'm entrusting this matter to you."
"Alright, alright, you all wait here, I'll go find Lin Zhiqing now."
"Okay, Auntie."
Matchmaker Song immediately went to Lin Qingyan's house, only to find the door locked. She turned around to go back, but then she remembered that there were two people waiting for her at home, so she had to change her mind.
No, she had to see Lin Qingyan today and do what Zheng's mother and Zheng Yuanchao had asked her to do.
Lin Qingyan wasn't home at the time; she was probably at the brigade clinic, so she went there.
However, when they arrived there, they found that the clinic was also closed, and there was obviously no one inside.
Where did Lin Qingyan go?
She reluctantly prepared to leave and go home, hoping to find out where Lin Qingyan had gone if she met anyone on the way.
She asked two people, and both of them said they hadn't seen Lin Qingyan. Just as she was about to return home, she passed by the brigade leader's gate and glanced inside. To her surprise, she saw Grandma Lin sitting in the yard playing with a wooden gun with the brigade leader's grandson.
Granny Lin and Lin Qingyan are almost inseparable. If Granny Lin is here, then it's highly likely that Lin Qingyan is also here.
She suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned the captain's nephew being injured. Could it be that they had asked Lin Qingyan to come and treat him?
Ah, as long as Lin Qingyan is here, it doesn't matter what she's doing here.
Although the battalion commander's nephew is tall and good-looking, he used to be an officer in the army.
Unfortunately, he is now injured and can no longer be an officer; he is not even as good as an ordinary farmer.
In the past, she would have worried that Lin Qingyan would fall for Lu Zhengting and ruin her cousin's good fortune, but now she is not worried at all.
Lin Qingyan would never look down on Lu Zhengting, that cripple, so there would be no possibility between them.
She immediately stepped into the brigade leader's house, went to Grandma Lin's side, and casually asked, "Is your little Lin, the educated youth, in here?"
Granny Lin glanced at her, her gaze cold, and curled her lip: "You don't seem like a good person. The girl isn't here, so you can leave."
Matchmaker Song stared wide-eyed. "How am I not a good person? I have good news to share with Lin Zhiqing. Fine, I won't argue with an old woman like you. I'm going to find Lin Zhiqing now."
"Good news? You don't seem like a good person. How can you expect anything good from finding a maid?" Granny Lin blocked Song's way.
Matchmaker Song nudged Granny Lin, saying, "It's certainly a good thing that I'm going to act as a matchmaker for Lin, the educated youth."
Everyone in the room heard Song the matchmaker's voice and was taken aback.
Li Qinqin originally wanted to go out and ask Matchmaker Song what she wanted to see Lin Qingyan for, but upon hearing Matchmaker Song's words, she immediately stopped in her tracks.
When Lin Qingyan heard that Matchmaker Song was going to arrange a marriage for her, she subconsciously glanced at Lu Zhengting.
In that instant, she noticed that Lu Zhengting was also looking at her. From his eyes and the sudden furrowing of his brows, she could tell that he was nervous.
Why is he nervous when someone proposes a match for him?
Then, he shifted his gaze to Li Qinqin, who was standing at the door. The tension in his eyes did not seem to have subsided much. Lin Qingyan also looked at Li Qinqin and found that she was standing blankly at the door, not intending to go out and ask Matchmaker Song. She was looking at Lu Zhengting and Lu's mother inside, as if waiting for their instructions.
