Chapter 84: Flirting in public
Even in the Lu family, no one except Lu's father and mother can do anything to him.
He chose to listen to Mr. and Mrs. Lu because they were his elders. But if, if he, Lu Bin, really didn't want to, no one could go against his wishes and make him do something he didn't want to do.
Lu Bin then said to Jiang Xian:
"What's wrong with being in public? We are a legal couple. Even if we kissed in public, they can't do anything to us."
“Sometimes when you do things, you don’t need to care too much about other people’s thoughts and feelings. Just make yourself happy. If you keep thinking so much, you will be exhausted for the rest of your life.”
"Besides, we didn't do anything out of line. At most, we were just a little close to each other. They can't say that we are immoral. If, if they dare to say so, do you believe I will punish them?"
After he finished speaking, Lu Bin clenched his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound. He looked as if he would step forward and teach those villagers a lesson if they dared to gossip about them behind their backs after seeing the two of them being so intimate.
Jiang Xian's face turned black after hearing this. He really didn't know where this man Lu Bin heard this from to be able to speak such profound truths.
In comparison, she, who came from the future world, seemed a little too conservative.
As for Lu Bin, after she finished speaking, she saw that Jiang Xian was still blushing and shy, so she simply stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Xian's hand, and the two of them held hands with their fingers interlocked.
Compared to yesterday when Lu Bin looked at a loss, today he seemed extremely natural.
Jiang Xian lowered his head and took a look at the two people who were holding hands in public, his face full of shock. You know, this man didn't have such an expression yesterday.
Yesterday, she wanted Lu Bin to hold her hand, but Lu Bin was so shy and acted like a woman. But today, this man took the initiative. She didn't know what to say. Should she praise Lu Bin for his good learning ability or praise him for being so shameless in public?
Although she wanted to hold Lu Bin's hand yesterday, she did so when there was no one around.
She could never do such a thing in public, in this conservative era. Jiang Xian wanted to struggle, after all, so many people were watching her.
The impact is very bad.
She struggled to get Lu Bin to hold her hand, but the strength gap between men and women was too great.
The man's hands were very strong and she couldn't pry them open even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and let Lu Bin hold her hand.
Jiang Xian seemed to be guilty of something. She couldn't help but look back at the expressions of the villagers who were watching the fun, the village chief, and the Liu family father and daughter.
Sure enough, when she turned around, she found that these people were staring at her and Lu Bin. In particular, their gazes were clearly staring at her and Lu Bin, who were holding hands.
Apparently, there were people whispering nearby, probably gossiping about the two of them.
Jiang Xian's mind was full of black lines, and he didn't know what to say. He still felt a little resentful towards Lu Bin. How come the conservative look of this man yesterday was completely gone?
But after all, she was a person from the future, so Jiang Xian quickly adjusted her mentality. She felt that she had rarely seen such scenes, so she felt so uncomfortable. Looking at the man Lu Bin, he seemed much more comfortable than her.
Moreover, among what Lu Bin said, there was one thing that was correct, which was that in life, one should not care too much about other people's expressions and words.
No one can be like gold, loved by everyone. In this world, as long as there are people who like her, on the contrary, there will definitely be people who hate her.
If she cared about everyone's evaluation of her, she would be exhausted to death. So, sometimes, you can't care too much about other people's thoughts.
Just make yourself comfortable.
After struggling for a while, Jiang Xian finally decided to listen to Lu Bin and not think too much. Instead, he should shift all his attention to the important things that needed to be done now.
The most important thing now is to seize the time and deal with the affairs of Liu Yingying and her daughter.
It was so annoying to see so many people blocking the entrance of the educated youth site.
If she had the time, Jiang Xian naturally wouldn't want to argue with these villagers. If she had the spare time, she would rather lie on the kang for a while and have a good rest.
The original owner's body was extremely weak after suffering from long-term malnutrition, lack of food, and poor rest, coupled with falling into the water.
Taking a good rest can also help you recover your physical strength.
She felt it was a waste of energy to waste time talking to these people here.
When Jiang Xian heard Lu Bin say that the clothes she was wearing were too worn out, she was naturally aware of this. After all, she had only traveled through time a few days ago.
She had not had time to buy new clothes for herself. Besides, she was quite picky and thought the styles and designs of the clothes sold in the town were rather rustic, so she didn't like any of them.
When the two were buying wedding supplies, Jiang Xian didn't even think about buying clothes.
She felt that the Lu family was already so poor, if she still bought clothes.
Wouldn't that make the poor life even worse? She should also be considerate of other people's family life.
She is not the kind of person who likes to force herself. Her career is still in its early stages, and she wants to set her first goal on making money. Therefore, she doesn't care much about how she dresses.
Now that Lu Bin has already brought it up, she feels embarrassed to refuse directly.
Jiang Xian thought about it and said:
"I also feel that the clothes I'm wearing are too torn, but I haven't decided what kind of clothes I should buy."
"When we have time, let's go for a stroll in town. We're getting married soon, so it's time to buy us both some new clothes."
Jiang Xian didn't know if there was such a saying in this era, but anyway, in her hometown, newly married couples would each buy a few new sets of clothes to wear, as a way to bring good luck.
But now the Lu family's financial situation is there.
I have sick elderly parents at home who need medicine, so I have to be as frugal as possible.
Taking this into consideration, Jiang Xian did not plan to buy too many clothes. She thought that it would be enough to buy two sets of clothes for replacement.
She also has to consider the changing of seasons, so she has to buy practical clothes. She can't buy new clothes and then have to buy new ones after wearing them for two days. That is absolutely not acceptable.
Jiang Xian did not reject Lu Bin's proposal, but took the initiative to explain to Lu Bin why she did not buy clothes.
He took the initiative to suggest that when they had time, they would go to the town and have a good stroll.
Lu Bin nodded after hearing this. He also had an idea in mind, so he told Jiang Xian what he was thinking:
"How about this, when the police come later, we will definitely go to the town to record our statements."
"It's better to do it now than to wait for a day. It's only a few hours in the afternoon, and it's still early for the mall to close. After we finish our work, we can go shopping while we're still busy."
"Otherwise, we have to borrow bicycles, and we're not sure when they'll be free to lend them to us."
Transportation is very inconvenient these days. If he and Jiang Xian want to go directly to the town, they have to walk.
This bicycle is not available for borrowing every day.
In terms of timing, it's very unfortunate.
They have to follow the people who have bicycles and see when they have time to lend them a bicycle, and only then can the two of them go. In this way, they are not particularly free in terms of time.
In this village, there are ox carts going to the town every morning, but the time is too early. Basically, they have to set off before dawn. Jiang Xian may not be able to bear this.
So it would be better for the two of them to just go today and take this ride.
Jiang Xian thought about it and agreed. What Lu Bin said did make some sense. There was no need to go through the trouble again after a few days.
In that case, the round trip journey from the town to the village would be enough to make people exhausted.
Even though there were two of them that day, riding bicycles to the town to get the certificate and buy things, it was still quite tiring. After all, they had a lot of things to buy, so it was very inconvenient.
Jiang Xian was not the type to hesitate or drag her feet. She spoke directly and agreed to Lu Bin's words:
"If that's the case then."
"We'll all listen to you. We'll go to town and buy some new clothes for both of us."
"It's still early anyway, so it probably won't take long to buy a few sets of clothes."
Jiang Xian thought that judging from the scale of the department stores in this town nowadays, it would probably only take about an hour to go shopping and buy everything.
In addition, on that day, although the two of them went to the town to buy some things needed for the wedding, after all, they didn't know what things were needed for a wedding in this era, so they just bought blindly.
Looking back now, they were somewhat sloppy that day and didn't buy many things.
If I were to go to town again today, I could stop by, take a look, and pick out anything I like. When the time comes, I can come and pay for it directly, which can save time.
Jiang Xian was really fed up with the food at the educated youth center. Father Liu was simply a black-hearted man. He kept cutting down the food at the educated youth center. There was not a single drop of oil or water in the food. If she ate it for a long time, her large intestine would become dry.
In that case, she and Lu Bin could go to a state-owned restaurant and have a good meal after shopping and buying clothes.
Jiang Xian's consumption concept is very consistent with the situation of modern people. She may not be willing to buy clothes worth three hundred yuan, but she can show off a hot pot worth three hundred yuan.
Prices were very low these days, and a meal in a state-owned restaurant wouldn't cost much. No matter how poor you were, you wouldn't mind that.
At worst, when you buy clothes, you can bargain with the shop owners. In this way, you can use the money you save to eat out.
Although her idea is somewhat immoral, if the store can sell the clothes to her and accept the price she offers, it means that the store will still make money. After all, no one would do business at a loss.
After hearing Jiang Xian's agreement, Lu Bin smiled even more happily. It just so happened that his salary for last month was just paid out today, so he still had some money in his pocket.
Although his family is a bit poor, after long-term treatment, his parents' illness has stabilized, so the money needed for medicine every month is not that much.
According to his own salary, he can still afford it and is not in such financial distress.
The villagers didn't know this, and he believed Jiang Xian didn't know about this either. In the future, he still had to explain the situation to Jiang Xian to avoid misunderstandings.
Lu Bin relaxed his expression and completely forgot about Liu Yingying and her father.
He said to Jiang Xian in a very gentle tone:
"Well, wait a little while, the two of us will go shopping for clothes."
"It doesn't matter if I buy clothes or not. I'm a grown man, and I work in a factory all year round. I can't afford any new clothes."
"A few sets of worn-out clothes are enough. I don't go out or go anywhere, so there's no need to waste that money."
"As for you, a little girl, you are at the age of a flower and love to dress up. It would be better to buy you a few more sets of coats and skirts. Let's buy some for you."
"When the time comes, you can change into something else and feel better."
