Lin Chuan frowned. What kind of nonsense was this woman spouting?
His face was cold, and his tone was indifferent.
"I don't understand what you're saying. The red ribbon was bought for my daughter. You people of your age are trying to steal my daughter's red ribbon!"
Cao Meina stood there, stunned.
She and Jiang Xueying had just seen Lin Chuan come out of the supply and marketing cooperative when Jiang Xueying said that Lin Chuan had actually followed her all the way here.
She was obviously standing up for Jiang Xueying, but she never expected...
Besides, what do you mean by "women of their age"? She's only twenty-two, how is she old!
"You...you have a daughter?" Cao Meina asked incredulously.
Lin Chuan rolled up the two red ribbons and put them in his pocket. "I have a wife and a daughter. As for what you just said about pursuing someone, I don't understand. I only have my wife in my heart. Some things are better left unsaid."
Jiang Xueying's hands were clenched tightly.
Has Lin Chuan gotten married and had children?
Lin Chuan said that his wife is the only one in his heart.
Then what is she?
I don't know why, but ever since I met Lin Chuan that day, whenever I close my eyes, I always see Lin Chuan's image.
After eating noodles at the shop yesterday, I can't stop thinking about it.
She even suspected that Lin Chuan had put drugs in the noodles.
These past few days, she's actually found Lin Chuan to be tall and handsome.
When she got home and saw her deadbeat husband, drunk and sullen, she got angry.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueying looked at Lin Chuan, "Then... why are you here? Didn't you come because you knew that Meina and I work at the meat processing plant?"
Meat processing plant?
Lin Chuan looked up and realized, "Ah, right, the meat processing plant is just around the corner."
Lin Chuan was speechless. "I came here to buy things. Do you think everyone who comes to this supply and marketing cooperative is just hoping to bump into you?"
Jiang Xueying bit her lip. "So, when you said you liked me in high school, were you lying?"
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes. Did he like Jiang Xueying?
Are you kidding me!
After graduating from high school, he didn't seem to have spoken to Jiang Xueying at all.
Seeing the blank look on Lin Chuan's face, Jiang Xueying couldn't believe it; she had clearly heard it.
"Dare you say you didn't tell Chen Guodong you wanted to pursue me?"
Lin Chuan was even more confused. It was true that Chen Guodong was his deskmate, and the two of them had discussed Jiang Xueying before.
"As for what happened in the past, I certainly can't remember what we talked about," Lin Chuan said coldly. "But I will never like you. What I hate most is a self-righteous woman like you!"
After saying that, Lin Chuan strode away.
Jiang Xueying stared at Lin Chuan's tall back, biting her lip until it bled.
Cao Meina sensed something was wrong. She used to follow Jiang Xueying at school because Jiang Xueying's family was better off than hers.
They are still protecting Jiang Xueying because Jiang Xueying is a union official at the meat processing plant, and since she is a worker, they can take care of her to some extent.
Jiang Xueying's eyes were slightly red, and Cao Meina quickly handed her a handkerchief.
"Xueying..."
Jiang Xueying pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes.
Cao Meina chimed in, "That damned Lin Chuan, with his shabby attitude, all he has are two red ribbons, what's he so smug about? Xueying, don't take it to heart, he's never good enough for you. Men are like that, all they know is to show off and care about their pride. He'll be begging you someday!"
Jiang Xueying took a deep breath. "Stop talking. It's good that he didn't mean it. Now that things are clear, it suits me just the way they are. Anyway, I don't like him!"
Lin Chuan had no idea what the two women were thinking.
He strode towards Changling Village, intending to go home and make dumplings.
As soon as Lin Chuan entered the yard, Lin Shuning, who was playing in the dirt, ran over, opened her arms, and happily shouted, "Dad!"
Lin Chuan squatted down and caught his daughter in his arms.
He reached out and wiped the dirt off Lin Shuning's face. "Look, you look like a little kitten."
As he spoke, he took Lin Shuning's hand and said, "Come on, let's go inside and wash our hands. Dad brought you some good stuff."
Lin Shuning smiled and asked, "Dad, what is it?"
Lin Chuan fetched water and carefully washed Lin Shuning's face and hands.
Then he took out two red ribbons from his pocket and tied them directly to her two little braids.
It's bright red, very festive, and looks great.
“My precious daughter is so beautiful.” As he spoke, Lin Chuan held up a small mirror in front of Lin Shuning’s eyes.
The little child held a small mirror, looking at the little braids with red ribbons in the mirror, and was overjoyed.
She smiled broadly and waved to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan squatted down, and Lin Shuning gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Dad, you're such a good dad."
Lin Chuan felt the moisture and warmth on his face and unconsciously smiled.
Her daughter will surely live a peaceful and happy life.
Xu Chunmai was very surprised to see Lin Chuan return. "Da Chuan, why are you back at this time?"
Lin Chuan has been coming home around 9 p.m. these past few days.
I got back this morning, it's not even 10 o'clock yet.
"Something's come up at the noodle shop, so it probably won't be open for the next couple of days."
Xu Chunmai nodded, "That's perfect. You should rest for a couple of days; you're really exhausted."
Qian Jinhua, who was making clothes in the east room, put down her needlework and came over.
Lin Chuan told Qian Jinhua what he had bought, "Mom, I just bought some meat. I'll get a cabbage later, and we'll make dumplings for lunch."
Seeing so much meat, chicken, and flour, Qian Jinhua exclaimed repeatedly, "Dachuan, your father and I are living a good life thanks to you. We can eat meat every day."
"Did you send anything to your parents?"
Lin Chuan naturally hasn't returned to Yuquan Village yet. Ever since he sent that dog there that day, he hasn't had time to go.
"I'll bring it to them later."
Qian Jinhua went to the back garden and cut a large cabbage. She then started washing and blanching the cabbage, and mincing the meat.
Lin Chuan washed his hands and went to knead the dough.
Xu Chunmai doesn't always sit on the kang (heated brick bed) anymore.
She's been doing well these past few days.
Little Le'an spends his days eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.
Xu Chunmai held Lin Shuning's hand and said, "Shuning, look, Daddy is so amazing. He can do everything."
Previously, Xu Chunmai really didn't know that Lin Chuan could cook.
Now, when you see him kneading dough, the dough is truly smooth, the bowl is smooth, and his hands are smooth.
Her technique is even more skillful than some women who have been doing it for decades.
Lin Shuning touched her red hair tie, beaming with joy, "Dad is the best."
Qian Jinhua looked at Lin Chuanhe's noodles and said, "Da Chuan, I don't remember you being able to make noodles before."
Lin Chuan found a lid and covered the basin. "I really didn't have time to make this before, but I should make it more often in the future. After all, this is what makes a home feel warm and inviting."
Even a simple bowl of noodles can be a true reflection of a family's happiness.
Just like in her past life, Xu Chunmai suffered so much, yet she still thought of secretly saving him a bowl of noodles.
He didn't think about Xu Chunmai's suffering at all, and even thought that since he was a man, he was tired and hardworking outside, so it was only natural for him to eat this bowl of noodles.
We only realize the value of many things after we've lost them.
