Luo Jingyan said, "Yes, we're dating. Auntie, no matter who else takes a liking to him, we won't agree."
The matchmaker nodded: "Alright, in that case, I'll head back now."
After the matchmaker left, Xue Yanchen said, "Thank you, Jingyan, for helping me fend off those people."
"It's nothing. Maybe one day I'll need you to help me fend off people. Since we don't care what others think, are you going to my place now, or later?"
"Go now."
"Okay, let's go."
The two walked casually down the street, and as long as there was no physical contact, they didn't need to deliberately keep their distance, just like a normal couple in love.
When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, the other educated youth saw Luo Jingyan leading Xue Yanchen back and all speculated that the two were dating.
Lin Shanshan curled her lip: "Marrying a man who's impotent, he'll be a widow for life, serves him right!"
Song Yinglan even ran over and asked, "Jingyan, Jingyan, is this your boyfriend?"
Luo Jingyan nodded: "Yes."
"Your partner is quite nice," Song Yinglan praised.
"Of course, otherwise how could he be worthy of being my partner?"
"Jingyan, when are we going to eat your wedding candy?"
Luo Jingyan knew she wouldn't do anything without a reason, so she smiled and said, "We've just started dating. I'll give you wedding candy when we get married, and I'll also invite you to the wedding banquet." (You probably won't get to eat or drink there.)
Song Yinglan was hoping to make Luo Jingyan happy so she could give her wedding candy, but her plan fell through again.
She gave a forced smile and said, "Okay, okay."
Zhao Wensong clenched his fist in the room. No wonder Luo Jingyan didn't agree to get back together with him before. It turned out she had fallen for this guy. What exactly is it about him that he doesn't like?
Luo Jingyan, just you wait and see, I'll definitely find someone better than you.
Zhao Jun clicked his tongue. His brother Chen was pretty fast. He had only been here for a little over a month and had already found a girlfriend.
He even began to doubt Xue Yanchen's purpose in coming here.
Luo Jingyan led Xue Yanchen into her room and pointed to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "Brother Xue, please sit down for a while."
She took out the vegetables and meat she had bought yesterday, most of which were dried vegetables that needed to be soaked.
Zhao Jun walked in and greeted Xue Yanchen, who then introduced him to Luo Jingyan: "This is a childhood friend of mine."
Zhao Jun said, "Luo Zhiqing, you're Chen Ge's girlfriend, so you're mine too, from now on." Suddenly realizing he'd misspoke, he slapped himself in the mouth. "Look at my mouth! I meant that since Luo Zhiqing is dating my Chen Ge, and we're both at the same educated youth settlement, if you need me to do anything for you, just let me know."
Luo Jingyan usually uses water from her spatial storage and only occasionally fetches water herself, so she almost never needs Zhao Jun's help. However, to save face for him, she still agreed.
She politely said to Zhao Jun, "Why don't you have lunch here too?"
"How could I possibly accept that?"
"Don't be shy. You're Brother Xue's friend, so you're my friend too. Why are you being so polite with me?"
Luo Jingyan asked them what they wanted to eat, and after discussing it, they decided to make a meatball and use the rest of the meat to stir-fry vegetables.
Zhao Jun diligently started chopping meatball filling and cutting meat. Since most of the vegetables were dried, they needed to be soaked. Luo Jingyan and Xue Yanchen didn't have much to do for the time being.
Inside the room, Zhao Jun was chopping meat with a loud clapping sound, and Luo Jingyan wanted to go out for some peace and quiet.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the courtyard.
As a bystander, Luo Jingyan was naturally at the forefront, and Xue Yanchen also stepped forward.
She took out a handful of sunflower seeds that she had roasted in her previous life from her pocket, or rather, from her spatial storage, and gave some to Xue Yanchen: "Brother Xue, it's the best to eat sunflower seeds while watching the show."
Xue Yanchen took the sunflower seeds; it was the first time he had ever watched people argue while eating sunflower seeds.
Zhao Jun, who was chopping meat inside the house, also wanted to watch the excitement.
He craned his neck out, watching others eat sunflower seeds and watch the excitement, while he chopped minced meat and watched the excitement.
In the courtyard, an elderly woman in her fifties was standing at the entrance of the girls' dormitory, cursing loudly: "Song Yinglan, you have to come out and give me an explanation today. My son gave you so many things and money. Either you marry him and become his wife, or you return the things and money to us."
Standing next to her was a dark-skinned man, Zhang Baoguo.
The girls' dormitory door was tightly closed, and Song Yinglan didn't even dare to peek out. There were some male educated youth watching the commotion in front of the door. Tong Jianxin, the person in charge, was looking through the window, probably afraid that the old lady would come to him to resolve the issue.
Zhang Baoguo tugged at his mother: "Mom, don't pressure Yinglan. She has her reasons. Her family is in trouble."
Grandma Zhang angrily pointed her finger at his head: "You, why are you so honest and obedient? She doesn't say she wants to date you, but you keep giving her things and money. Do you think we have too much money to burn?"
“Mom, I bought those things with the money I earned myself, and all the money was earned by myself.”
"You're so stupid! What's yours isn't mine, is it?" Old Mrs. Zhang glared at her clueless son. "You're just bewitched by her. Even her farts smell sweet to you."
Suddenly remembering something, she leaned close to Zhang Baoguo's ear and asked, "Has she ever slept with you?"
"No."
"Oh dear, you're so silly! I have no idea what you're after!"
She walked up to the entrance of the girls' dormitory and shouted, "Song Yinglan, are you coming out or not? If you don't come out, I'll report you to the brigade leader and have him deduct your work points. If your reputation is ruined, you can forget about ever returning to the city."
Seeing that there was still no response, the old woman said, "If you don't come out, I'll bang my head against your door."
After she finished speaking, the door opened, and Song Yinglan came out.
Old Mrs. Zhang grabbed her arm and pulled her in front of Zhang Baoguo.
“You’re coming home with my son right now, and you’ll be his wife.”
“I’m not going.” Song Yinglan brushed her aside.
"Then pay me back."
Song Yinglan didn't want to return it either: "Grandma, it was your son who voluntarily offered to give me things and money, not me asking him for it."
The old lady immediately punched Zhang Baoguo twice.
"You idiot." He then looked at Song Yinglan: "You just take what he gives you? Baoguo is honest. He only gave you money because he wants to marry you. Why do you think he would do that? Fine, if you don't want to marry him, then pay him back. I heard from Baoguo that he gave you a total of sixty yuan. Let's say those things are worth twenty yuan. You have to pay me back eighty yuan."
"Where would I get that much money?"
"Then she will become Baoguo's wife."
Song Yinglan doesn't think much of Zhang Baoguo; otherwise, she would have married him long ago.
"Okay, I'll pay you back, but I don't have it right now. Give me some time, and I'll have my family mail the money over."
Anyway, she's leaving soon, and once she's gone, Old Mrs. Zhang won't be able to do anything to her.
