In her previous life, she only found out later that blind dates were one of the sources of the goods they trafficked.
After meeting Feng Zhiyong, Lu Jiaojiao realized that she, a second-married girl who was eager to be gotten rid of by her natal family, was one of the targets they wanted to recruit.
Because someone like her is disliked by her natal family, no one would report the case and look for her after she was abducted.
Thinking of the nightmare-like experience in her previous life, Lu Jiaojiao trembled with fear.
The waiter from the state-owned restaurant brought over a bowl of water. Feng Zhiyong smiled gently and handed the water to Lu Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, give you some water!"
Lu Jiaojiao: “…”
Lu Jiaojiao knew very well what kind of hideous expression Feng Zhiyong had underneath his smiling face.
If Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua hadn't been with her, she really wouldn't have dared to take the water he handed over.
Even with her parents by her side, Lu Jiaojiao only took a small sip, so that Feng Zhiyong would no longer focus his eyes on her.
Lu Jiaojiao actually likes to eat braised pork.
But this time, she felt that the braised pork served on the table was not fragrant.
During the whole meal, Lu Jiaojiao felt very uncomfortable. Although it was after the Dragon Boat Festival and the weather was very hot, she still felt like she was in an ice cellar.
It wasn't until a tall and familiar figure walked into the hotel that Lu Jiaojiao felt relieved and finally came back to her senses.
What a coincidence!
This state-owned restaurant was not far from the county hospital. He Ting was busy with the hospitalization procedures and missed the time to buy a meal ticket for the hospital cafeteria.
Thinking that Ye Hongying and Zhou Yanfeng would accompany him to the county town and let them have a good meal, he simply went to the state-owned restaurant to pack up some delicious braised pork.
"One braised pork, half a chicken, and fried bamboo shoots, right? Let's have fried bamboo shoots and pork with chili peppers, which goes well with rice, and stir-fry two green vegetables."
He Ting noticed someone was looking at him, and turned his head to see Lu Jianguo and his family eating.
There was also a strange man eating at the same table with them.
He was probably the blind date that Lu Jiaojiao showed off by riding a tractor.
He looks quite human.
But they were all strangers to He Ting.
Seeing that Lu Jianguo looked like he wanted to talk to him, Lu Jiaojiao also looked at him with a touched expression and seemed to be about to stand up and walk towards him. He Ting quickly turned his head away.
He felt that with Lu Jiaojiao's personality, she just couldn't wait to show off her blind date.
He Ting's mind is now full of his wife and the three unborn babies in her belly. He is looking forward to when Lu Baiwei's cervix will dilate and she will go to the delivery room. He has no time to meddle in other people's affairs.
Without waiting for Lu Jianguo and Lu Jiaojiao to come over and talk to him, he turned his head away, acting as if he was not familiar with them.
"Jiaojiao, do you know that person?"
Lu Jiaojiao kept looking at He Ting who walked into the hotel, and felt the terrifying aura coming from He Ting. Feng Zhiyong was afraid of encountering a tough guy, so he asked Lu Jiaojiao vigilantly.
Without waiting for Lu Jiaojiao to express her opinion, Liu Chunhua said, "She is a sent-down youth from our team. I am not familiar with her."
Liu Chunhua was afraid that Lu Jiaojiao, her blind date, would find out something.
She was afraid that Lu Jiaojiao would compete with Lu Baiwei for the bride, and that her marriage to Yin Zhihe, including the rumors about her and Yin Jiaming, would be known by Feng Zhiyong, who drove the truck.
You finally caught a fat sheep, don't let it go to waste again.
Afraid that He Ting would ruin her family's reputation, Liu Chunhua quickly spoke up for Lu Jiaojiao.
Feng Zhiyong understood now.
No wonder they didn't even say hello after making eye contact, it seems like we are not familiar with each other.
It’s okay if it’s an educated youth who went to the countryside and you’re not familiar with him.
"Jiaojiao, I drive a big truck and I often have to go out. After we get married, you have to help take care of the two children. Is this okay?"
Feng Zhiyong said generously: "Whatever conditions you have, just ask."
It was Liu Chunhua who helped to take over the conversation again.
"Although our Jiaojiao is getting married for the second time, she is still a virgin. Let's not talk about the third marriage. The betrothal gift should be at least 100 yuan."
Feng Zhiyong was not annoyed by Liu Chunhua's exorbitant request.
He smiled and said, "Auntie, how about one hundred and eighty-eight yuan?"
"Okay, Comrade Feng, you are quite straightforward. We won't ask for anything else. If you can get us a bicycle ticket, that would be the best."
Isn't this just a request?
A woman who was getting married for the second time asked for a dowry of more than 100 yuan.
He agreed.
Then I realized that I didn’t drive enough and decided to buy another bicycle ticket.
This does not include the three main dishes ordered at the restaurant.
Don't you even consider whether a second marriage candidate is worthy of you?
Fortunately, he didn't really want to get married, otherwise he would have just given them the cold shoulder.
"Well, bicycle tickets are a little hard to get."
Feng Zhiyong hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll try to find someone to exchange it with. It'll take a few days before I can get any news. I'll try my best to get it done."
"Aunt, I am the most straightforward person, and I am sincere in finding a wife."
Feng Zhiyong smiled and knocked on the table: "It can't be just my side that is sincere, what about your side?"
"Jiaojiao is getting married again, so we can't give her a dowry. She has a younger brother, so we need to save the money for her brother to get married in the future."
This was said by Lu Jianguo.
The couple only want to go in and not go out.
Feng Zhiyong smiled: "That's not what I meant. I meant to let Jiaojiao stay in the county for a few days and look around with my children. After all, it's not just about finding a wife for me, but also a mother for my two children."
While Lu Jianguo and Liu Chunhua were discussing the price for selling her, Lu Jiaojiao kept looking at He Ting who was waiting for the food.
Watching him pack up the food and leave the state-owned restaurant without even giving her a glance, Lu Jiaojiao knew that He Ting, as her brother-in-law, would not help her this time.
Unlike in her previous life, He Ting knew about her and Feng Zhiyong and told her that Feng Zhiyong was a liar.
She doesn't believe it.
He Ting failed to stop her in the end, and she ran away with Feng Zhiyong.
Her own parents were not picky about who they were going to sell her off, and in her previous life, He Ting had tried to stop her from being cheated by Feng Zhiyong. After making the comparison, Lu Jiaojiao felt that her own parents had made her so desperate.
A thought suddenly came to her mind: if she had lived a good life with He Ting in her previous life, would He Ting treat her as well as he treated Lu Baiwei?
She shouldn't have given up the pearls for the fish eyes!
She shouldn't have given such a good man like He Ting to Lu Baiwei.
She would not give He Ting to Lu Baiwei. In this life, she only wanted to live a good life with He Ting. Now she was living a happy life and being spoiled by her husband, and she was the one lying in the hospital giving birth to a child.
For the first time since her rebirth, Lu Jiaojiao felt regretful and sad for choosing Yin Zhihe and abandoning He Ting.
The thought of regret came like a tide, making her feel extremely bitter and sad.
She kept wondering, why was Lu Baiwei living such a good life?
Why?
This crazy thought troubled her, and some dark thoughts flashed through her mind.
She suddenly felt that Feng Zhiyong in front of her was not that scary.
Since struggling is useless, if she is not having a good life, then Lu Baiwei won't have an easy life either.
"I, I haven't even signed the marriage certificate with you yet, how can I stay in your house?"
Lu Jiaojiao suddenly said in a timid tone: "I'll go home with you to see if the child is okay. I have to go back to the team with my parents later."
