Lu Qingya never expected that by the time she was able to stand by Lu Jingnian's side, Lu Jingnian would already be married.
Looking at the longevity lock in his palm, Lu Jingnian asked Lu Qingya in a deep voice, "Who else knows about this?"
Lu Qingya thought Lu Jingnian would ask why he hadn't said it before, and why he had to wait until now to say it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingnian asked who else knew about this matter.
"I don't know about other places, but in the village, besides my father and me, and the deceased Uncle Dahai and Aunt Dahai, only Uncle Lu should know about this."
My dad said that Uncle Dahai and Aunt Dahai worked in the coal mine and rarely came back to the village. So when Aunt Dahai and Uncle Dahai brought you back, the villagers just thought that Uncle Dahai and Aunt Dahai had a child while they were away.
"If my father hadn't known about Uncle Dahai's infertility due to an injury he sustained in his early years, Uncle Dahai wouldn't have told him about it."
After Lu Qingya finished speaking, she apologized to Lu Jingnian with great remorse, "I'm sorry, Brother Jingnian. My father and I should have told you about this sooner."
They kept this a secret until now because they had their own selfish motives.
"I don't blame you."
Lu Jingnian handed the longevity lock to Jiang Yue, and then asked Jiang Yue to give Lu Qingya one hundred yuan.
Seeing the money Jiang Yue handed over, Lu Qingya dared not accept it.
“Brother Jingnian, we are sorry for what happened to you. I can’t accept this money.”
She came today to give Brother Jingnian a longevity lock; she didn't want any money at all.
Jiang Yue held Lu Qingya's hand, put the money in her palm, and said softly, "This longevity lock was sold to you by my father-in-law back then. Jing Nian and I are very grateful that you have kept it until now. As for Jing Nian's background, he doesn't blame you."
Thank you so much for returning the lock to him. You spent money to buy this longevity lock back then, and we can't let you suffer a loss.
You must take this money.
Seeing that Lu Qingya still wanted to refuse, Jiang Yue didn't give her a chance to speak and continued, "If you don't take it, Jing Nian will be angry."
Lu Qingya was afraid that Lu Jingnian would be angry, so upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, she didn't dare to refuse anymore, but...
“It doesn’t cost that much money. My dad said that back then, the family didn’t have much money, so he only gave Uncle Dahai twenty yuan.”
As she spoke, Lu Qingya took out eighty yuan from her bag and gave it to Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue only accepted fifty.
"At the current silver price, this is enough for me."
Regardless of how much the longevity lock sold for back then, it was made of pure silver, and based on its weight and the current price of silver, it would be worth far more than twenty yuan.
They couldn't let Lu Qingya suffer.
Seeing that Lu Qingya was still hesitant, Lu Jingnian also spoke up, "Take it. If you don't take the money, I can't get the lock back."
Lu Qingya pursed her lips before accepting the money.
"I've finished talking, so I'm going back to take care of my brother now. If you need anything else, just come find me."
After finishing what needed to be done, Lu Qingya was always reluctant to part with Lu Jingnian and had to leave.
Since Lu Jingnian was already married, she had no reason to stay any longer.
"I'll see you out."
Jiang Yue really likes Lu Qingya, especially since she is very beautiful and would be a perfect spokesperson for their down jackets.
After leaving the ward, Jiang Yue asked Lu Qingya, "Qingya, are you a student at A University?"
Judging from Lu Qingya's young age and her attire, she must be a student.
"Yes, sister-in-law, how did you figure that out?"
I'm at University A, majoring in Computer Science.
Lu Qingya looked at Jiang Yue in surprise.
"Looking at your outfit and youthful vibe, I feel like you're the kind of girl I admired when I was little who was exceptionally good at studying."
What a coincidence! My younger brother is also in the Computer Science Department at A University. His name is Jiang Xue. Do you know him?
Upon hearing Jiang Xue's name, Lu Qingya was even more shocked, almost unable to believe it. "Sister-in-law, you're actually the older sister of our department's academic genius?"
Jiang Xue's name is well-known throughout A University.
Jiang Yue was also quite surprised. She knew Jiang Xue was a good student, but she didn't expect him to be a genius.
"That's such a coincidence." Jiang Yue smiled sincerely and said, "You're from the same hometown as Jing Nian, so you're like my sister. If you ever need anything at school, just ask Jiang Xue for help and tell him it was me. He definitely won't ignore it."
Knowing that Lu Qingya was a student at A University and in the same department as her younger brother, Jiang Yue was no longer worried about not being able to find her.
When the down jacket is about to hit the market, she will go to Lu Qingya and ask her to be the spokesperson for her down jacket.
Jiang Yue could tell that Lu Qingya was a straightforward and honest girl who could take things in stride.
She had liked Lu Jingnian before, but after learning that Lu Jingnian was married, she made her stance clear in the hospital room just now. She has her bottom line and will not try to ruin Lu Jingnian and Jiang Yue's relationship in order to get Lu Jingnian.
Jiang Yue chatted with Lu Qingya for more than ten minutes before seeing her off.
When she returned to the ward, Lu Jingnian was sitting on the hospital bed, looking at her with a resentful and aggrieved expression.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yue touched her nose and walked guiltily to Lu Jingnian's side.
She didn't do anything, she just chatted with Lu Qingya for a while, so why is she feeling guilty?
"You two just met, how come you have so much to say?" Lu Jingnian looked at Jiang Yue with a resentful expression, his jealous tone filling the entire ward.
Lu Qingya likes him, so shouldn't Jiang Yue hate Lu Qingya?
How could he have so much to say to Lu Qingya, and be so enthusiastic?
