"Don't worry, I'm here."
Su Qingzhi looked up at him, a smile in her eyes.
"A-Shuo, it's so good to have you here."
Shen Cunpu was about to respond to her words...
Suddenly, Jiang Yongmei's voice came from inside the house.
"Shen Cunpu, Niannian, Old Shen is leaving."
Su Qingzhi was taken aback and turned around.
"Mom, Dad just got back not long ago, why is he leaving already?"
At this moment, Shen's father came out of the house.
He looked apologetic.
"Because it's your wedding, they only granted you two days off. I have to go back right now; there are still tasks waiting for me at the factory."
Shen Cunpu remained silent, standing still.
But Su Qingzhi could clearly sense that he was in low spirits.
She gently squeezed his hand.
Turning to Shen's father, she said, "Dad, Shen Cunpu and I will see you out."
She didn't ask if she could stay a few more days.
Because she knew that soldiers like Shen's father carried responsibilities and missions on their shoulders, which could not be delayed.
"good."
Mr. Shen simply responded with a nod.
Su Qingzhi gently nudged Shen Cunpu's elbow, signaling him to come over.
Without hesitation, Shen Cunpu strode forward and quickly walked to his father's side.
Su Qingzhi and Jiang Yongmei followed quietly behind them.
The father and son in front were talking in hushed tones.
But when they came back, the moment Shen Cunpu looked back at her, his expression was noticeably more relaxed.
When I got home, I ran into Grandma Lu and Lu Jiaping, who were just coming out of their room.
“Nian Yatou.”
Grandma Lu sat on the sofa and gently waved to her.
Su Qingzhi immediately walked over.
"Grandma, did you sleep well? Is anything bothering you?"
Grandma Lu nodded with a smile.
"I've rested enough and I feel much better. I'm thinking of taking Jiaping out for a walk, to get some fresh air, and to see what Lancheng is like."
"I'll go with you."
Su Qingzhi did not hesitate at all.
"Sure."
Grandma Lu replied with a smile.
“Jiaping has never been to Lancheng before. This is a good opportunity for him to see how it differs from Ancheng and broaden his horizons.”
"I'll go too."
Shen Cunpu walked out of the kitchen.
As Su Qingzhi walked, she chatted quietly with Grandma Lu about the school where she worked.
As soon as I entered the gate of the family compound, I saw Liu Yuelan and Fang Mingyu standing at the entrance.
"Fang Mingyu! Are you coming home or not? We're already married and our relationship is officially confirmed, and you're still living in the company dormitory all day long. What kind of behavior is this? What will outsiders think of me?"
With her back to them, she was completely unaware that someone had come up behind her.
But Fang Mingyu saw it.
He ignored Liu Yuelan's persistent entreaties and turned to walk in front of Su Qingzhi and her group.
"Mrs. Lu."
Grandma Lu nodded slightly.
"I heard you got married today, congratulations!"
She spoke slowly.
Fang Mingyu worked in Ancheng in his early years.
They were naturally very clear about Deputy Factory Director Lu and his family.
They knew that this old lady was no ordinary person.
“I didn’t know you would be coming today.”
He was ten times more cautious than when he had treated Liu Yuelan.
Grandma Lu gently tugged at Su Qingzhi's hand.
"I came here especially because I heard Niannian got married. Okay, we'll go back now. You two can talk things out slowly."
Liu Yuelan stood there, completely bewildered.
But she looked at Fang Mingyu's extremely respectful demeanor.
He immediately realized that this old lady was definitely not simple.
She dared not act rashly and could only silently take a step back.
Why is Su Qingzhi able to know such an important person?
This incident made Liu Yuelan feel extremely resentful, and the more she thought about it, the more indignant she became.
After Su Qingzhi and the others had gone far away, Liu Yuelan suppressed her anger and went to Fang Mingyu's side.
"Who exactly is that old lady?"
Fang Mingyu frowned, his face full of disdain.
"Can't you have some manners? That's the most respected old lady of the former factory director in Ancheng! The wife of the former factory director, how dare you call her an old woman? Have you lost your mind?"
Liu Yuelan was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing across her face.
"She's so old, with a full head of white hair, and needs help to walk. What else can I call her if not an old woman?"
Fang Mingyu was too lazy to argue.
He had already figured it out; this woman not only lacked common sense, but also had a terrible sense of propriety.
"Speak."
Seeing that he remained silent, Liu Yuelan became even more enthusiastic.
How did Su Qingzhi come to know... Madam Lu?
How would I know?
Fang Mingyu coldly uttered a sentence.
"The Shen family and the Lu family have a long-standing relationship, having known each other for decades. Their children grew up together. It was probably the Shen family who introduced them, who else could it be?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuelan immediately perked up.
She grabbed Fang Mingyu's arm.
"What about your parents? Don't they have any connections? They could introduce us to some respectable people!"
"If that lunatic Su Qingzhi can marry into a wealthy family, why can't I?"
Her tone was full of resentment and jealousy.
Fang Mingyu completely ignored her.
This woman is not only stupid, but also full of crooked thoughts. All she thinks about all day is taking shortcuts, climbing the social ladder, and getting ahead.
She has no idea what decency or dignity means.
He turned around and walked forward without looking back.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Liu Yuelan chased after her for a few steps and called out urgently.
"If you don't go home, how are we supposed to live...?"
