Liu Shenglin was still unwilling to give up. "Comrade Bai, I don't feel any pain. For you, I'm willing to change."
"Sigh... You're saying this now because you haven't done it yet. Once you do it, even if it means suppressing your true nature for decades, you'll understand the pain. Besides, we haven't even talked much. How can you be so sure that I'm really right for you? Do you even know me? I know you fell in love with me at first sight when we first met."
But those are all lustful advances, the kind that can't withstand the test of time. I know my own personality well; I can't tolerate a partner who's promiscuous. It would only lead to a breakdown in the relationship. Either I'd kill you, or you'd despise me. There's really no need for that.
She meant it when she said she would hit someone. Her thinking was different from other girls of this era. She always knew that the knowledge her maternal grandparents and uncles had taught her did not include things like being subservient, being a good wife and mother, or the three obediences and four virtues.
When asked about someone falling in love with her at first sight, she showed no shyness whatsoever. She didn't seem to have the typical reaction of a normal girl.
Liu Shenglin did not stay for dinner.
He always left with his head hanging down.
Bai Yajing's words kept echoing in my ears.
For some reason, it made sense, and since he couldn't refute it, he had no choice but to leave. His mind was a mess; he still didn't understand where he had gone wrong.
Bai Yajing waited until he left before turning around to look behind her. "Come out, have you heard enough?"
Liu Meiling scratched her head and jogged over. She hadn't come out earlier because she was afraid of embarrassing her brother.
The younger uncle calmly went back to cooking.
"Ya Jing, no matter what, I support you. I won't side with him just because he's my brother. That's definitely not good of him. I warned him about it a long time ago, but he just wouldn't get it."
My brother is just clueless; he doesn't understand a girl's possessiveness towards her partner. If those good qualities are something everyone has, then I wouldn't care about them.
I'm a girl too, I understand how you feel. Although we can't be sisters-in-law, you'll always be my best friend.
As he spoke, he reached out and tugged at her sleeve.
Bai Yajing's heart softened; this girl truly deserved to be her chosen fairy companion.
"Hehehe, when you get back you'll probably see a crying older brother."
When Liu Shenglin left, his eyes were brimming with tears...
Liu Meiling waved her hand generously, "Hey, it's good to cry it out. It's better to let it all out. Holding it in is bad for your health. He's never experienced any setbacks in his love life since he was a child."
"You wouldn't believe it, ever since he was old enough to understand, he's been surrounded by a bunch of girls. Those girls are secretly fighting tooth and nail, but this big oaf of his just couldn't see it."
Bai Yajing recalled the situation that day and chuckled, "He really couldn't tell. Hahahaha."
The girls behind him that day were practically cross-eyed, but he was still grinning foolishly as he explained math problems to them. Well... you could call it a skill...
The two sisters opened up to each other, and their bond actually deepened.
"By the way, I heard from your brother that many people in your hometown, Leling Village, grow cotton? I'd like to get a thick quilt and a thick cotton-padded coat and trousers to send to my godmother in the Northwest."
Upon hearing this, Liu Meiling patted her chest and gave a firm guarantee.
"Leave it to me. I'm going back to my hometown to visit my grandparents anyway. I'll get everything done for you then."
Cotton is plentiful in their village; she can just ask her grandparents to go to the village and they'll get some.
"Thank you, Meiling. I'll give you the money and tickets first, and I'll make up the difference when I get back if it's not enough."
As he spoke, he took out five large unity bills and several national cloth and industrial coupons and stuffed them into her hand.
She was also from the countryside, so naturally she knew what the countryside lacked.
Liu Meiling didn't stand on ceremony with her and put the money in her pocket.
