I thought: So they went to the city today to buy things for their wedding. After so many years of relationship, it's impossible for them to just give up like this.

She said that she would not marry him, but then she turned around and quietly went to buy things for the wedding.

Haha, she was just venting her anger.

Of course, she was wrong in the end, so she had reason to be angry.

Lu Jiangting hurried to the post office to make a phone call. When the call was connected, Lao Zhou asked directly: "Jiangting, did you have a fight with your fiancée?"

Um?

Who told him?

You know this from so far away?

"Uncle Zhou, did anyone tell you anything?"

"Hmph, Xiaolin called me yesterday and asked me to send your marriage report back because she didn't want to get married anymore."

what?

"Then...the marriage report..."

"It's still here with me. I was very angry when I heard what she said yesterday, so I planned to just send it back to her. But it was too late yesterday and the postman had left, so I had to give up.

I wanted to send it today, and suddenly I thought I should ask you something. A relationship is hard to come by, if there are conflicts, solve them properly, I still hope you can be well. "

"Yes, Uncle Zhou is right. We are going to get married. Please help me submit the report."

"That won't work. You have to ask Xiaolin to call me and get her consent..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiangting felt mixed emotions.

It turns out she wasn't joking, she was telling the truth.

She really wanted to break off the engagement.

No, that's not right. If you really want to cancel the engagement, then why are you buying wedding supplies today?

Lu Jiangting returned to the village and after much thought, he decided to take the two bags of fruit candies he bought in the morning to the Lin family.

"Yuyao, I bought you two packs of your favorite fruit candies. Take them."

Lin Yuyao ignored him, but Ye Lian in the room heard his voice and came out with a fire tongs.

"What are you doing here? Get out, you are not welcome in our house."

Lu Jiangting stepped back and said, "Auntie Lian, I know I did something wrong, and I'm here to apologize. I'll do whatever you want me to do to calm down."

"No need. I will thank God if you stay away from my daughter from now on."

"That's definitely not possible, Aunt Lian. We have already registered our marriage, and the marriage certificate may have been issued. We should receive it in a few days.

Although we haven't had the wedding banquet yet, Yuyao is now considered my wife. You're preventing me from seeing her, but that's ruining a military marriage. Aunt Lian, ruining a military marriage is a crime."

what?

Still committing a crime?

"You bastard, I'm giving you face, right?" Ye Lian rolled up her sleeves and was about to poke a hole in him with the flintlock.

At this time, Lin Yuyao had to step out to stop him, "Mom, it's not worth fighting with him, I will handle it myself."

"Girl, how are you going to solve this problem? If it's your mother's turn, just kick this shameless guy out."

Lin Yuyao took a deep breath and said to Lu Jiangting, "Come out with me."

After saying that, she walked out.

Lu Jiangting quickly followed her, and while chasing her, he explained what happened yesterday.

"Yuyao, I know it was wrong for me to lend money to others. I promise it will only be this time."

Lin Yuyao walked to the edge of the courtyard pond and stopped. She turned around and looked at him and said, "How can you promise? Let me ask you, if Fang Qing asks you to borrow money again, will you lend it to her?"

"No." Lu Jiangting shook his head.

Lin Yuyao: "Not lending it?"

"No, I mean she won't ask me for money again. She opened the hair salon and can make money on her own. Plus the monthly pension she gets from her employer for her and her son, her monthly income is definitely much more than mine. She won't ask me for money again."

More? Fang Qing would soon lose everything she had.

"Yuyao, if you don't believe me, from now on all my money will be yours, you can spend it however you want. I won't keep any money on me, so if someone comes to borrow from me, I won't be able to give them out, what do you think?"

"Not so good."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"Then tell me, what should I do to make you calm down?"

"No matter what you do, it's useless."

Lin Yuyao turned around, looked at the March spring water in the pond at the entrance of the village, and took a deep breath.

"This pond is really big, it must be more than ten acres."

Lu Jiangting said, "I heard it was eight mu and seven."

That’s not small.

"When I was eight years old, I fell into this pond and nearly drowned. You pulled me out. From then on, I followed you and became your little tail. You saved my life, and I am very grateful to you."

Lu Jiangting also looked at the water and said, "I saved you willingly and I don't need your gratitude. You are not the only one I have rescued from this pond. If anyone falls into the pond, I will save them."

Lin Yuyao did not refute his words, as what he said was indeed true.

Lu Jiangting is good at swimming and likes fishing.

He was the youngest son in his family. His parents and two older sisters did all the housework, so he had almost no work during his childhood.

He just needs to study hard.

So during holidays, he would take his homework and fishing rod and sit under the willow tree beside the pond in the yard, doing his homework while fishing.

During this period, he not only picked up Lin Yuyao from the courtyard pond, but also an old lady who was washing clothes and the youngest son of Uncle Wang next door...

Others just say thank you, two bags of fruit candies, or a chicken or a basket of eggs and that’s it.

Her mother also gave them a basket of eggs as a thank you, so why did she develop such a special feeling towards them?

"Lu Jiangting, no matter what, you did save my life by picking me up from here, I really thank you. But..."

She shook her head and said, "We are not meant to be together. Forget about getting married."

Lu Jiangting was stunned, "Is it still the money issue that's causing the problem?"

Lin Yuyao nodded, "Yes, I can't get through."

"I..." he wanted to say, he would go and get it back.

However, Lin Yuyao knew that he would not do that, and he could not tell Fang Qing.

"I will compensate you." Lu Jiangting said helplessly.

"Why bother? Can't we just part ways amicably? If you really want to take care of Fang Qing and her son, you should marry her and raise Fang Qing's son as your own. Otherwise, whoever you marry in the future, you will be harming the other person."

Lu Jiangting was very angry when he heard this. He threw the candy on the ground and said, "I have told you many times that there is nothing wrong between Fang Qing and me. Why don't you believe me?"

It doesn't matter now, but in the future, won't he still hope that he will die so that he can marry her?

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Jiangting said earnestly: "Yuyao, I really have nothing to do with her. I... Alas! She is Jianjun's widow. There is no way I can marry her. If I marry her, how can I be worthy of Jianjun?"

Lin Yuyao just thought this was funny. That dream was definitely not just a dream. Maybe she really lived a miserable life like that.

In that life, didn’t he end up marrying her?

Decades later, he had long forgotten Comrade Wang Jianjun's life-saving grace.

"Yuyao, you don't believe me, right?"

Lin Yuyao: "Do you think you can believe it?"

"Why can't you believe it? To put it bluntly, she's a second-time married woman with a child, and she's two years older than me. I'm not blind, how could I fall for her?"
