Shen Mengya couldn't catch up with Lu Zhengting's bicycle, so she had to give up and then take an oxcart instead.
When she asked the old man to stop the car, he was quite impatient.
"Who told you to get off the bus? You insisted on getting off, and now you want to get back on. Aren't you annoying?"
Shen Mengya's mind was preoccupied with Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan's marriage. She was irritable and depressed, and did not refute the old man's scolding.
The old woman who had just grabbed her winked at the old man, "Old Zhang, let her come up."
The old man stopped the oxcart, and as soon as Shen Mengya got on, three of the old women grabbed her and pinned her down.
"You little punk, we've caught you! Let's see how you escape this time!"
Shen Mengya then realized that the old lady's request for Grandpa Zhang to stop the car wasn't to speak up for her, but rather to have a big plan up her sleeve.
These wicked old women are truly insidious and cunning.
"I really do know Brother Zhengting. My godmother is Brother Zhengting's biological grandmother. We grew up together in Beijing. Please believe me."
"You think we'll believe everything you say without a second thought? We've lived this long, we've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. You think you can fool us with just a few words? Whether you're an enemy agent or not, we'll talk about that when we get back to the brigade."
After Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan returned to the brigade, they went to the brigade leader's house first. Grandma Lin was playing with Xiaodouzi in the yard. When she saw them return, she ran up to Lin Qingyan and said, "Girl, you're back."
"Mother-in-law, Zhengting and I are married."
"well."
Then she turned around and ran off to play with Xiaodouzi.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu were discussing with the brigade leader about Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan's wedding banquet. Other members of the Li family were also in the room.
Lu Zhengting took out his and Lin Qingyan's marriage certificate to show them, and they all nodded in agreement.
Mr. Lu said, "You two will be going to the military base together in a few days. We've discussed holding a banquet for you here in three days. As for the banquet in Beijing, we're not in a hurry. You can hold it when you go back for the New Year. If you feel the date is inconvenient, we can discuss it further."
Lu Zhengting has a seven-day holiday, and today is only the second day. According to the date his father said, he can leave with Lin Qingyan after the banquet.
“Okay, Dad, I have no objection.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingyan.
“I have no objection either,” Lin Qingyan said.
She wasn't bound by formalities; this was the only place where her family was, and he didn't care about the situation in Beijing.
Suddenly, Granny Lin burst in from outside, shouting, "Waaah, it's feast time! It's feast time! I want to eat at the feast!"
Everyone was amazed by her excellent hearing; she could hear them speaking in normal voices from the yard.
Lu's mother smiled and said to her, "You are Qingyan's grandmother, so we'll let you sit at the table then."
"I don't care which table I sit at, I'm going to eat at the banquet. Oh, and by the way, it would be best if I could sit at the same table as the girl and eat the banquet together with her."
"Auntie, Qingyan might not be able to eat it, so I'll have Qinqin eat with you."
Grandma Lin immediately objected, "Why won't the girl eat the good food?" She grabbed Lin Qingyan, "They won't even let you eat at the banquet, let's ignore them and leave."
Mrs. Lu quickly corrected herself, "Oh dear, look at my mouth! How could I not let my daughter-in-law eat well? Auntie, I was just joking. Let Qingyan eat, let her eat, how could I not let my daughter-in-law eat at the banquet?"
Grandma Lin then stopped making a fuss.
Looking at Grandma Lin, Lu's mother was actually more troubled by something else.
Because Grandma Lin is too attached to Lin Qingyan, he was afraid that in the future Grandma Lin would not allow Lin Qingyan and Lu Zhengting to sleep together, or would insist on sleeping between them. What would the young couple do then?
Mr. Lu then said to Lin Qingyan, "You've been here for more than half a year now. Which educated youth or people you know here would you like to invite? Let's count the number of people first."
"Okay." Lin Qingyan told Mr. Lu about the people she planned to invite.
A short while later, a commotion arose outside, and then four more people burst in.
It turned out that three old women had brought Shen Mengya with them.
Shen Mengya was held by the arms by two burly old women, looking very disheveled.
"Captain, Captain, there's a spy! We've caught one!"
The old lady took Shen Mengya inside and showed her to the brigade leader.
The people inside were somewhat surprised when they saw that it was Shen Mengya.
Lin Qingyan found it amusing to see Shen Mengya being held captive by the old lady in such a disheveled state.
Mr. Lu frowned and asked, "Mengya, how did you become a spy?"
Shen Mengya shook her head. "Uncle, I'm not a spy. They misunderstood me and insisted on arresting me."
The captain did not immediately order the two old women to release Shen Mengya, but instead asked them, "What exactly happened? How did Comrade Shen become an enemy spy?"
When the three old ladies saw that the brigade leader and his relatives all knew Shen Mengya, they began to wonder if Shen Mengya was really not an enemy agent.
An old woman explained, "Captain, this woman went to the county town with us today. Since we didn't know her, we asked her if she was a new educated youth who came here."
She said she wasn't a sent-down youth, but rather your nephew's fiancée, and that she had come to visit your mother on your nephew's behalf.
Initially, we didn't doubt her words and genuinely believed she was Comrade Lu's fiancée. However, when we returned from the county town, we saw Comrade Lu driving Dr. Lin back from the commune. The young couple had already obtained their marriage certificate, yet she was still pretending to be Comrade Lu's fiancée. Comrade Lu didn't seem to recognize her, so we suspected she was an enemy agent.
