Chapter 180
However, when he looked at Zhu Qiaoting's swollen face and red eyes, the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
He thought of the beginning when Zhu Qiaoting helped him on the road.
If Zhu Qiaoting had not suddenly appeared and helped him, he might have been blackmailed by the girl and forced to marry her.
In this case, shouldn't he be more responsible for Zhu Qiaoting's current situation?
After thinking a lot, Chen Kang finally agreed to Zhu Qiaoting's proposal of dating out of guilt.
Zhu Qiaoting immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After planning for so long and enduring so much pain, she finally got what she wanted. She hoped that she would be happy in the future and would not have to suffer anymore.
After confirming the relationship, Zhu Qiaoting and Shen Kang went out together openly.
Shen Kang also went to see the team leader and reported the beating of Zhu Qiaoting.
Chen Kang and Zhu Qiaoting both hoped the team leader would give the other party a warning, not to make a big deal out of it. Firstly, they were afraid the other party would deny it if they did, and secondly, they, the educated youth, were outsiders in the village after all, and making a big fuss about something would be bad for them.
Anyway, after that, even if the educated youth and the people in the village were jealous of Zhu Qiaoting, they would just look unhappy. No one dared to hit Zhu Qiaoting or spit at her openly.
Zhu Qiaoting's life became better day by day.
Being with Shen Kang, she not only ate more fully, but also felt the warmth of being protected.
Zhu Qiaoting also took care of Shen Kang in every possible way.
Zhu Qiaoting believes that the relationship between the two is steadily heating up.
Until Shen Kang received a letter from his family asking him to go back and take over his mother's job...
Zhu Qiaoting asked Shen Kang tentatively: "If you go back, what should I do?"
Chen Kang said without thinking: "Of course you are going back with me. How can I go alone and leave you here alone?"
Zhu Qiaoting was overjoyed, but with a worried look on her face, she said, "I want to go back with you, too. But I'm just your girlfriend, and I can't stay at your house."
Shen Kang thought for a moment and asked, "Qiao Ting, are you willing to marry me?"
Zhu Qiaoting was waiting for Shen Kang to say this.
She was ecstatic and nodded modestly: "Yes."
She could finally leave here and return to the city. Not to the family that didn't care about her, but to Shen Kang's family.
They rushed all the way to Shen Kang's house. When they saw Shen Kang's big yard, Zhu Qiaoting knew that her choice was right.
This is much better than going back to her home.
However, Zhu Qiaoting did not expect that Chen Guifeng would be so strongly opposed to their marriage.
She also didn't expect that Chen Kang would choose to postpone marrying her due to Chen Guifeng's strong opposition and the ambiguous attitude of his other family members...
…
Now, after listening to what Zhu Qiaoting said, Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if you regard Chen Kang as your only lifeline, so what? They have never been to the countryside, so how can they know what kind of life we live there? What's wrong with us thinking more about ourselves? Besides, you didn't force Chen Kang to be with you in the first place. If Chen Kang really didn't want to be with you, he wouldn't agree no matter what you did."
"If you ask me, blame Chen Kang for being so indecisive. One moment he says he's worried about leaving you here alone, and the next, because of his mother's objections, he wants to save money for half a year before marrying you. Even if he really doesn't have any money right now, and doesn't want you to suffer living in his house, can't he borrow money from someone to rent a house and marry you? You're not someone who can't endure hardship."
Zhu Qiaoting laughed at herself and said, "He just didn't like me that much. Between me and his family, he chose his family. He still hopes that his marriage will be carried out with his family's permission and blessing."
Xiaolan sighed: "It's normal for him to have such thoughts. When he was working in the countryside here, his family cared about him so much and often sent him things. Now his mother even gave him her job in order to get him to go back. It's normal for him not to have a bad relationship with his family. At least it proves that Chen Kang is not an ungrateful person."
"Don't be too sad, or just wait another half a year. Shen Kang will definitely do what he says."
"What else can I do except wait for him for half a year?" Zhu Qiaoting said with a wry smile.
Xiaolan's mind shifted slightly. She moved closer to Zhu Qiaoting and whispered, "You can't just sit there and wait for him. Chen Kang is indeed your only hope. If you could really marry him, you could leave this place completely. Now that you're separated, I'm afraid your feelings will fade over time. More importantly, I'm afraid his mother will introduce him to someone else and break you up."
"I think you should be more proactive and visit Chen Kang from time to time. It would be best if you could stabilize your relationship completely, to the point that no one can destroy it."
Zhu Qiaoting looked at Xiaolan with a meaningful expression and understood what she meant.
"I'm married to a villager now, and this is probably how my life will be. If you can really marry Shen Kang, your life will be very different. You have to seize this opportunity." Xiaolan said again with great sincerity.
Zhu Qiaoting was both emotional and moved. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Xiaolan's mother-in-law scolding her outside.
"What's taking you two so long to talk about? Xiaolan, don't just talk and forget to cook. Your husband will be home soon, and the whole family is waiting for you to eat!"
Xiaolan shouted back to the outside: "I know, Mom - the meal is cooking, I didn't forget."
While observing the movement at the kitchen door, Zhu Qiaoting took out the candy and jerky from her pocket and secretly stuffed them into Xiaolan's pockets.
"These things were given to me by Shen Kang. I didn't dare bring you too much, for fear that it would be like before, and the things I brought you were taken away by your mother-in-law before you could eat them. You keep these for yourself and eat them secretly."
Xiaolan was touched and nodded with a smile: "Yeah."
…
At the end of March, the weather, which had been warming up, suddenly turned cold, and every household took out the thick clothes that had been put away and started wearing them again.
Ye Fuyue will finish her confinement in a few days. Seeing the weather suddenly getting colder, Ye Fuyue, who originally thought that confinement was unbearable, suddenly felt that it was quite comfortable to stay in the room covered with a quilt all day.
Chen Guifeng was afraid that her two grandchildren would get cold, so she put layers of clothing on Haohao and Ranran, wrapping them up like balls.
Ye Fuyue couldn't help but ask, "Mom, are they wearing too much?"
"Not much. The weather has suddenly become so cold, it's easy to catch a cold. We need to dress them warmly. You should also wear more clothes. Don't think that it doesn't matter if you stay indoors. It will be bad if you catch a cold." Chen Guifeng said.
"Yeah." Ye Fuyue nodded and followed Chen Guifeng.
"Mom, hasn't Zhu Zhiqing come to see my brother since he returned to the countryside?" Ye Fuyue asked when she remembered.
