Lin Yuyao laughed and said, "Oh, Auntie, you really misunderstood. You just asked me to knock on the door, and I opened it and saw that they were sitting on both sides of the table. They really didn't do anything shameless."

The aunt was whispering to the people around her, and from the looks of them, it seemed like they weren't saying anything nice.

Lu Jiangting couldn't stand this kind of look and couldn't listen any longer, so he pulled Lin Yuyao away.

He pulled her away all the way until they were out of the tube building and next to the bicycles on the side of the road. Lin Yuyao shook her hand away with force.

"Why are you pushing so hard? Now you believe me, I told you, those words were not mine."

Lu Jiangting, "Those old men and women have nothing to do all day long, so they just like to gossip everywhere. Do you believe what you say?"

"I don't believe it. I never believed it. The key is whether you believe it or not. What's important is that rumors can kill people. If you have the ability, go and shut them up."

"A gentleman does things openly and honestly. I have done my best for Jianjun and myself. I have no say over other people's mouths. Let them say whatever they want."

Good job!

Lin Yuyao wanted to give him a thumbs up.

"Then why did you drag me away just now? Why didn't you tell the grandfather and the grandmother about your impassioned words just now?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

He couldn't win over Lin Yuyao, so he changed the subject and asked, "What are you doing in the city?"

"If you don't want to get married, I'll buy your dowry. But now I don't need to. I'm out of money and can't get married."

Lu Jiangting opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yuyao pushed the bicycle in front, and Lu Jiangting followed behind her silently.

After walking for a long time, Lin Yuyao suddenly heard him say, "I'm sorry."

Um?

Lin Yuyao thought she had heard it wrongly.

"What did you say?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

He only said this once and didn't have the courage to say it a second time.

"I'm going back first. I didn't ride a bike today, and our village is on a different road from yours, so I won't send you off."

They are from neighboring villages, and the two houses are only two or three miles apart. How can this be called different roads?

Oh no, they are indeed on different paths.

Today, tomorrow, and in the future...we will never be on the same path again.

…

Lin Yuyao did not go back immediately, but went to the post office and called their organization.

She remembered that it would take about ten to fifteen days to send a letter from here to Lu Jiangting's troops.

There are about thirteen days left before Lu Jiangting sends in the marriage report, and I don’t know if it will be in time.

After the transfer, the call was connected quickly.

Lin Yuyao directly introduced herself, saying that she was Lu Jiangting's fiancée Lin Yuyao, and asked her about their marriage report.

The marriage report is on the other person's desk.

"I received it yesterday. Oops, I was planning to send it up on Monday, but if Comrade Kobayashi is in a hurry, I'll go there today."

When Lin Yuyao heard that it hadn't been delivered yet, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Military marriages are so difficult to divorce, it would be troublesome if you really give it up.

"No, I'm not in a hurry. It's just... Comrade, can you help me mail the report back?"

Um?

"Send it back, why?"

Lin Yuyao paused deliberately, and then said with a tearful voice, "It's just that... we have no money, so we can't get married for the time being."

"Ah? Did something happen at home? How much money are you short of?"

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Don't worry, Xiaolin. If you don't have enough money, we can find a way. No matter how big the problem is, it can't delay your wedding. Jiang Ting has already taken wedding leave, and this wedding leave can only be taken once."

"It's not just about the money. We originally had enough money, but... Jiang Ting lent it to someone else."

"Ah? This Lu Jiangting is really something. How could he lend the money for the wedding to others? I will talk to him about this when he comes back. You two should go ahead with the wedding and there should be no delay."

Lin Yuyao stammered, "Comrade, I...I don't want to marry him for the time being."

"..."

"Why?"

"He lent money to a lesbian to open a salon, including the dowry my parents gave me. I think in his heart, our marriage is not as important as that lesbian opening a salon. I must teach him a lesson, otherwise he will not value me in the future and treat other lesbians better than me. How will I live the rest of my life?"

She didn't say anything too harsh because she knew that some soldiers were very straightforward.

If you have any difficulties, they will be very generous and help you solve them.

After Lin Yuyao explained this, the person on the other side was also very angry. After swearing a few words, he said angrily: "Well, let's teach this confused boy a lesson. He can't tell whether the lesbians outside are more important or getting married is more important. I think he is back to life."

Lin Yuyao burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, comrade. Please send it directly to me."

"Okay, I'll send you all the information directly. It's just a small matter, you're welcome. I'll send it back to you today, and you can use it to threaten him and see if he chooses you or the lesbian outside. You brat, you don't know the seriousness of the matter."

After leaving her address, hanging up the phone and paying the money, Lin Yuyao went home with peace of mind.

Seeing her return empty-handed, her mother Ye Lian asked her, "Didn't you say you were going to buy red paving? Why did you return empty-handed?"

Lin Yuyao's eyes were red. She parked her bike aside, turned around and walked into the house.

Ye Lian didn't understand what was going on and followed her in.

"What's wrong? Tell mom."

There were many people in the yard and she didn't want to disappoint them.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Yuyao hugged her and started crying.

"mother……"

The dream was so real that it felt like she had experienced the emotions that she had been holding back for two lifetimes, and she couldn't stop crying.

“Oh my god!”

In her dream, she took up the responsibility of supporting Lu Jiangting's family.

With a sick father, a blind mother, Lu Jiangting and two sisters-in-law didn't care about the family at all.

With an old and sick little girl to support, the burden of life weighed heavily on her.

She was originally her parents' little daughter, raised in a delicate and lovely way, and had never suffered any hardship.

After marrying Lu Jiangting, she suffered all the hardships for eight lifetimes.

When she couldn't bear it anymore, she also thought about divorce.

But there were few divorces in that era, especially since theirs was a military marriage. Lu Jiangting disagreed and he continued to work until retirement.

I thought that my parents had passed away and my daughter had grown up.

She had endured the most difficult times, and she was unwilling to divorce when it was time for her to enjoy her life.

Who would have thought that the real hardship would come after Lu Jiangting retired.

She had suffered for half her life but was not overwhelmed by him. It was only when Fang Qing moved into their home that she was overwhelmed.

The two of them flirted with each other, Lu Jiangting kept suppressing her, and her daughter's betrayal was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

She died of exhaustion.

In the dream, her parents saw how hard she worked and helped her a lot.

The scene in her mind now is that when there was too much land to farm at home, her parents felt sorry for her and came to help her with the work even though they were old.

How could she not cry when she thought of this?

But her crying scared her parents.

Her father Lin Dawei, who heard her crying, also came in.

"What's the matter? Girl, if you are bullied, tell your father, don't cry yourself to death."
