Xue Ningnan acted immediately and went to Luo Jingyan's house again.
Zhuang Feifei wasn't particularly happy about this. Even if Luo Jingyan stopped dating Xue Yanchen, she could still become a wealthy wife after marrying Lu Chengye.
Thinking about this, she began to envy Luo Jingyan.
However, Xue Ningnan failed again this time. Luo Jingyan denied having a relationship with Lu Chengye and kicked her out of the house.
Xue Ningnan's second threat failed, and she slunk back to Zhuang Feifei's place once again.
“Feifei, she doesn’t admit to having an affair with Lu Chengye at all. We can’t do anything to her since we can’t get any evidence.”
“If she doesn’t admit it, go directly to Lu Chengye. Once Lu Chengye admits it, she won’t be able to deny it.”
Xue Ningnan wholeheartedly agreed with her: "Feifei, your idea is excellent. Let's go find Lu Chengye tomorrow."
The two of them hadn't eaten yet. Zhuang Feifei said, "Sister Xue, you see, I usually live alone, so I haven't prepared that much food."
Xue Ningnan understood what she meant, and then took out two yuan and two jin of grain coupons from her pocket and handed them to Zhuang Feifei.
"Feifei, food is precious these days. Don't worry, I won't eat and stay here for free."
Zhuang Feifei held the money in her hand: "Sister Xue, let's just make do with this for today, and I'll go to the county town to buy more food tomorrow."
The next day, Xue Ningnan got up early.
She hadn't even had breakfast yet, but she already wanted to go find Lu Chengye.
"Feifei, let's go find Comrade Lu Chengye now. I'm afraid he'll go to work in the fields after dinner."
Zhuang Feifei didn't want to go to work on an empty stomach, and besides, she had a terrible falling out with Lu Jiu'er in the past, so she might get kicked out if she went.
"Sister Xue, I won't go. I'll tell you how to get to their house, you can go by yourself."
Xue Ningnan did not force anyone. After obtaining the Lu family's address, she went to find Lu Chengye on her own.
Lu Family
Lu's mother was cooking in the kitchen, and Lu Chengye was helping her light the fire. Lu Jiu'er was washing her face in the yard.
It's summer now, and it gets light early, so the farmhouses open their doors early.
Xue Ningnan walked in without any hindrance. When Lu Jiu'er saw her, she hurriedly asked, "Sister, who are you? Who are you looking for at my house?"
This woman looks a bit fierce.
Xue Ningnan smiled at Lu Jiu'er: "Little sister, is your brother home?"
"oh?"
Lu Jiu'er was stunned for a moment. Last year, two young women came to her brother's door, saying they wanted to be his wives. Could this be the same?
"You, you wouldn't happen to be here to be my brother's wife too, would you?"
The little girl was innocent and straightforward; she asked directly what was on her mind.
Xue Ningnan found it amusing: "What? A young lady comes to your house just to become your brother's wife?"
"Yes, Li Hongying from last year, and that educated youth Zhuang, were both like that. But they were all worse than the other. I don't want sisters-in-law like them."
Xue Ningnan then understood why Zhuang Feifei was unwilling to come to the Lu family with her. It turned out that she had taken the initiative to become Lu Chengye's wife, but was rejected and was too embarrassed to come again.
She looked at the Lu family's magnificent house; the grander the house, the more humble the people living inside seemed.
Why would anyone be so eager to marry into a family like this?
She had never met Li Hongying and didn't know what she looked like, but Zhuang Feifei was a great beauty. Since she lived in a brick house, her family must be well-off.
Since Zhuang Feifei was so eager to marry Lu Chengye, he must have many outstanding qualities.
He is exceptionally handsome and possesses extraordinary skills.
No wonder Luo Jingyan was so eager to seduce him.
She said to Lu Jiu'er, "Little sister, don't misunderstand. I've already been married before, and I can't marry again. I've come to see your brother about something else. Is he home right now?"
When Lu Jiu'er heard that it wasn't someone to be her sister-in-law, she had no other thoughts.
"My brother and my mother are cooking in the kitchen, I'll go call them."
The little girl turned and ran into the kitchen. After a while, Lu's mother and Lu Chengye came out together.
The two men could tell from Xue Ningnan's different attire from the women in their area that she was from the city.
When Xue Ningnan saw Lu Chengye, she saw a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was not bad-looking, but not as good-looking as her younger brother. As for his skills, could he be better than being an officer in the army?
Considering family background, appearance, and personal abilities, Lu Chengye is far inferior to Xue Yanchen.
Luo Jingyan must be too cunning, seducing people everywhere. With her brother away, she's desperate for anything.
Lu's mother asked her, "Who are you? What do you want with Chengye?"
Xue Ningnan smiled and said, "Auntie, my surname is Xue. I am the older sister of a former educated youth named Xue who lived here. I came here to find out about your comrade Lu Chengye and his relationship with the educated youth Luo here."
"Me and Luo, the educated youth?" Lu Chengye frowned, looking completely bewildered.
When Lu Jiu'er heard about Xue Zhiqing and Luo Zhiqing, she thought of Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan.
"So you're the older sister of Sister Luo's boyfriend."
Xue Ningnan really didn't want to admit that Xue Yanchen and Luo Jingyan were in a relationship. "Yes, I am Xue Yanchen's older sister, but Luo Zhiqing and my brother are no longer in a relationship."
"Why?" Lu Jiu'er asked, puzzled. "I know they're going to get married in the future, so how can they not be a couple anymore?"
Xue Ningnan immediately looked at Lu Chengye, "Your brother knows, because Luo Zhiqing has started dating your brother."
