Chapter 17 Hit Yourself in the Face

Yu Xiangwan suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"What did you say?"

Lu Yingzheng saw her slightly frowned brows.

He cleared his throat and said it again seriously: "I'm asking, are you interested in marrying me?"

Yu Xiangwan heard exactly what he said.

She asked subconsciously: "Do you have a fever? Is your brain okay?"

【What is this guy doing? 】

[Do I know him well? Do we have feelings for each other? Are we suitable for marriage? ]

Lu Yingzheng said unhappily: "I am very sober."

"Yu Xiangwan, you have seen clearly what has been going on these days. Your mother nags you every day, and my mother nags me every day."

"I need a wife, you need a husband, we can...we can get married together."

He changed his way of saying it and did not say it was a marriage by agreement.

I can't reveal that I can hear Yu Xiangwan's inner thoughts.

"We get married and we are husband and wife in front of others, but behind closed doors, we just live together. You live your life and I live mine."

Lu Yingzheng was afraid that Yu Xiangwan might have concerns, so he offered her the most attractive condition: "You only have a high school education, and I can guarantee that I can find you a job in the camp."

When Yu Xiangwan heard this, his eyes lit up.

"real?"

Lu Yingzheng nodded: "Do I need to lie to you?"

See, as expected, only work can attract her.

"But I'm not sure what kind of job I can find. The only thing I can be sure of is that I won't have to work in the fields."

Lu Yingzheng knew that Yu Xiangwan couldn't stand working in the fields all day.

This really hit Yu Xiangwan's pain point.

She admired and respected farmers, but she couldn't stand the hardship of working in the fields all day long.

She is destined not to be the person she admires most.

So, she should just be herself.

However, Yu Xiangwan was not dazzled by the sudden favorable conditions.

"What do you need me to do? Apart from being your wife in public," she asked back.

Lu Yingzheng was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect Yu Xiangwan to be so blind and think of this.

Of course he wouldn't say it, the real reason was that he wanted to monitor her, fearing that she would do something that would harm the country and the people.

He could only say: "I ate the food you cooked today. You are a very good cook."

Yu Xiangwan thought he got it.

[Sure enough, no marriage is concluded in vain. 】

【This is just hiring a nanny. 】???

[Back then, I hired a nanny to clean and cook for me. Now it’s my turn to be a nanny. What a turn of events! ]

[But what's wrong with being a nanny? She can make money on her own! ]

Yu Xiangwan gritted her teeth and said, "I promise you, but I also have conditions!"

Lu Yingzheng: "You say."

He wanted to hear what conditions Yu Xiangwan had and whether he would ask for too much.

"My marriage to you is time-limited," Yu Xiangwan said, "After five years, we will divorce peacefully."

[This year is 1972. Five years later it will be 1977, when I will take the college entrance examination.]

【I must go to college! 】

Lu Yingzheng heard Yu Xiangwan's thoughts and nodded: "Okay."

He admired Yu Xiangwan's ambition.

If she really got into college and had a better life, he would definitely not stop her.

The premise is that she has not made any conceptual mistakes in the past five years.

"Also, my reputation would be affected if I married and divorced you."

"When it comes out, I will be married for the third time."

Yu Xiangwan let out a long sigh.

[Who would have thought that after traveling through time, I, who had never been married, would end up getting married for the third time.]

"So," she said, startled, "I want money."

"We are considered marriage partners. Even if we get divorced, the property acquired during the marriage will be our joint property."

"I want one third of your salary in addition to my own."

Yu Xiangwan knew that she had been looked at by the other party and that she had asked for too much, but she felt that she deserved the money.

[It is not easy for me to do housework and cook. It takes a lot of effort. ]

[The most expensive thing is labor and service! ]

[At worst, when I have enough money, I can take you to buy a house. We can make money together and I won’t let you suffer any loss.]

Lu Yingzheng raised his eyebrows.

Traveling through time, buying a house...

Today's conversation was fruitful, and he heard a lot of information from Yu Xiangwan's inner thoughts.

"good."

What other reasons does Yu Xiangwan want to use to convince the financial sponsor?

Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard these words.

She looked up suddenly, in disbelief.

Lu Yingzheng: "I agree to your terms, but you have to answer me a question."

Yu Xiangwan imitated him and raised his chin slightly: "You say."

"You swear that you will always be loyal to the motherland and the people and will not do anything that harms the interests of the country and the nation."

Yu Xiangwan: ...

[As expected, they are the people's soldiers. They have a high level of awareness! Even when looking for a contract worker, ah, bah, a contract wife, they have to have the right mindset.]

[I'll give it to you, I'm a legitimate person! 】

Yu Xiangwan was not lying at all. She asked Lu Yingzheng to stand up and swore to the east: "I, Yu Xiangwan, will always be loyal to my motherland and the people, and will never do anything that harms the interests of the country and the people."???

Lu Yingzheng looked at her with admiration.

It was beyond his expectation that she would dare to say that she was of good family background.

And she swore it solemnly.

Yu Xiangwan put down the hand that he had sworn to and stretched out his hand to Lu Yingzheng: "Happy cooperation?"

Lu Yingzheng reached out and gently shook Yu Xiangwan's hand: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

The girl's hand was a little soft, so he moved away as soon as he touched it.

But that soft feeling seems to stay on the skin and won't go away.

Lu Yingzheng placed the hand that he had held with Yu Xiangwan behind his back, with his slender fingers slightly curled.

He pursed his lips, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"Lu Yingzheng," Yu Xiangwan looked up at the tall man who was almost two heads taller than her, "Now, what should we do?"

She is an employee and the boss pays her.

Of course she has to listen to her boss's orders.

Yu Xiangwan got into the role quickly.

Lu Yingzheng was in a dilemma.

Today he told his mother that he had nothing to do with Yu Xiangwan, and he was slapping himself in the face. Ahem, it's a bit embarrassing.

He said dryly, "Let's gather the two families together and announce it at once, so we don't have to say it twice."

Yu Xiangwan thought about it and said, "Okay."

She didn't think too much about it. ???

…

Yu Cuilan brought her daughter to Yu Xiangwan's home in a daze.

Her son suddenly came home and said he had something to do, and asked her to go to the captain's house next door.

She thought something had happened in the village, but there were only two outsiders in the Lu family, mother and daughter, and the rest were the captain's family.

Yu Cuilan looked at her son in confusion.

Lu Yingzheng avoided his mother's gaze and gestured to Yu Xiangwan.

Yu Xiangwan calmed himself down and stood up with Lu Yingzheng.

Everyone in the room focused their attention on the two of them.

Lu Yingzheng spoke: "Uncle Yu, Aunt Xiang, Mother, Wanwan and I are planning to get married."
