Looking at Lin Yuyao, Lu Jiangting's eyes softened again, "Look at the way our Yuyao looks in the water. Isn't she much better than Fang Qing? How could I not like you and like her? Yuyao, have more confidence in yourself. I definitely like you."

Lin Yuyao looked at her reflection in the water, raised her hand and touched her face.

I look so good, I am only 20 years old this year.

Her skin is so tender that you can pinch water out of it, and it is white with a hint of red, as pink as peach blossoms in March.

Her hair was thick and black, and was braided into two braids that hung down in front of her chest, which looked beautiful no matter how she looked at it.

At this time, she was still the most beautiful flower in the big countryside.

However, in that terrible dream, in the next few decades, she gave birth to children, served her parents-in-law, and took care of the chickens, ducks and geese in the few acres of land at home...

The burden of life crushed her, and knowing that Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing were entangled, the pain in her heart squeezed her.

By the time she was in her fifties, there was no trace of her current face left.

His hair has turned gray and not much is left.

There are many wrinkles on the face.

Fang Qing has never suffered in her life and has taken good care of herself.

She is obviously several years younger than Fang Qing, but she looks like her mother.

So... Lu Jiangting chose Fang Qing later. Is he a person who cares about appearance?

Thinking of this, she just found it ridiculous.

"Oh, so you keep clinging to me because I'm pretty."

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"What if I become ugly?"

Lu Jiangting: "I like you no matter what you look like, Yuyao. Our relationship over the years is definitely not just because of your face."

He tried to pull Lin Yuyao.

Avoided by Lin Yuyao.

"No, I don't like you anymore."

"you……"

"Stop talking." Lin Yuyao suddenly raised her voice and said impatiently, "Since you saved me, I won't bother with you about many things. Can't we just part ways amicably? Why do you have to pester me? I told you, I don't like you anymore."

Having said that, she kicked the fruit candy that Lu Jiangting had thrown on the ground into the pond in the yard.

Lu Jiangting: “…” Looking at the fruit candies in the water, he felt distressed.

But this time Lin Yuyao left him and he didn't chase her.

He still thought that she was just angry and it would be fine once she calmed down.

When Lu Jiangting returned home, his parents asked him how he was.

Lu Jiangting shook his head, "She is still angry and refuses to forgive me."

"Oh!" Lu Cong knocked his cigarette, coughed a few times, and spat out a mouthful of yellow phlegm. Then he stepped on it, turned left and right a few times, and the yellow phlegm merged with the floor.

"Jiang Ting, you did this wrong."

"Dad, I know I was wrong. If I had known that lending money would make Yuyao so angry, I would..." Could he not lend her the money?

No, Fang Qing asked, and he still had to borrow it.

He just thought that he should keep it secret and not let Yu Yao know.

"I asked you to go get it back but you refused. Now... ah! You tell me what to do."

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, she's just angry for a moment, she'll be fine after she calms down."

"How do you know it's just a momentary anger? What if she refuses to marry you?"

"That's impossible. Do you know what she did in the city today?"

"What?"

"I went shopping for wedding supplies."

Um?

"Is this true?" Both elders found it unbelievable.

"Really? I saw it all. The baskets they brought back were filled with things for their wedding."

ah?

After hearing what he said, the two elders felt relieved.

"If that's the case, then don't go to their house for now and get them to scold you. Everyone calm down, maybe the situation will subside in a few days."

Lu Jiangting nodded, "I thought so too."

…

The next day, he rode his bike to Fang Qing's house.

Because Fang Qing was looking for a decoration team today, she asked her to help.

Originally he was supposed to go yesterday. Yesterday she was trading a house with the old couple and she said she was afraid of being cheated so she asked Lu Jiangting to help her keep an eye on them.

But thinking that Lin Yuyao was angry, he did not go to find Fang Qing, but waited for Lin Yuyao at home for a whole day.

Seeing Fang Qing's helpless look today, he felt a little guilty.

"Fang..." He originally wanted to call her Fang Qing, but then he changed his words because he remembered that Yu Yao would mind the relationship between him and Fang Qing.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Something happened at home yesterday and I was delayed."

The sound of "sister-in-law" made Fang Qing's face turn pale, and she forced an ugly smile, "No, it's okay. I heard that Yuyao was angry with you?"

"It's okay. She'll be fine after a few days. By the way, have you bought the house?"

"I've bought it, but...I don't have much money left."

“Does the hair salon still need to be open?”

"Yes, I will. The big money is gone, and the remaining money is barely enough to open a hair salon."

"That's great. I'll go with you to find a decorator today and try to lower the price."

"Okay, thank you."

Decoration cannot be done in one day. Lu Jiangting accompanied Fang Qing for two whole days before they decided on it.

He thought that it had been two days and it was time for Lin Yuyao to calm down.

He wanted to have a good talk with her.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qing said to him, "Jiang Ting, tomorrow is Chenchen's birthday. In the past, his father always spent the day with him, but now... his father is gone, I..."

As she spoke, she sobbed twice before continuing, "Can you come? Chenchen said he didn't want to celebrate his birthday alone."

Lu Jiangting was a little surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to take Chenchen back to his hometown to live with his grandparents?"

Fang Qing shook her head and said, "His grandparents live in the countryside and there is no car to go there. It's more than ten miles away. Chenchen is so young, he can't walk there. Besides, he has to go to school the day after tomorrow. It's more than thirty miles there and back."

Come to think of it.

Lu Jiangting nodded and said, "Then I will come to celebrate Chenchen's birthday tomorrow."

"Hey, Jiang Ting, thank you."

"You are welcome."

"Luckily, you are here. Otherwise, Chenchen and I wouldn't know what to do."

Lu Jiangting even ordered a cake for Wang Chen.

This was the last money he had, which he had originally saved for his trip back to the army.

Now that's good, all the travel expenses have been spent.

The next day, he celebrated his birthday with Fang Qing and her son. Lin Yuyao did not go to inquire about it, but these words still reached her ears.

Although their home is in the village, it is considered a village on the outskirts of the city.

It was only two or three miles from their home to the tube-shaped building where Fang Qing lived, about the same distance as Lu Jiangting's home.

Because they had caused a big commotion at Lu Jiangting's house a few days ago, the biggest conflict was over a woman named Fang Qing.

The wives and aunts in the village who like to listen to gossip will go to the dam under the tube building to inquire when they have nothing to do, and there is nothing they cannot find out.

"Ye Lian, it's a good thing that your daughter didn't marry that boy from the Lu family. That boy said he wanted to marry your daughter Yu Yao, but he was actually entangled with that widow. When she was decorating the house, he accompanied her everywhere, and everyone thought he was her man."
