Yu Qingce frowned slightly, about to offer some advice.
“Auntie, I’m not acting impulsively. I’ve thought it through. It’s better to marry the person your Uncle Xu introduced than to go to the countryside and marry someone I don’t know at all. Uncle Xu won’t harm me.” He Shaoyun had made up her mind and was determined not to change it.
"Okay, I'll talk to your uncle later." Yu Qingce knew he couldn't persuade him otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree.
“Auntie, my sister and I are going out for a walk. I heard there’s a movie going on up ahead, I’d like to go check it out,” He Shaoyun said to Yu Qingce.
"Okay, go ahead, but don't come back too late. Come back right after the movie."
"Okay, I got it." He Shaoyun walked out of the kitchen and immediately responded to Yu Qingce's instructions.
Yu Qingce sighed helplessly.
He Shaohua and He Shaoyun went out to see a movie.
After washing the dishes, Yu Qingce came into the living room and saw Xu Tiande reading a book.
"Old Xu, what kind of person is Lin Jingyao? Yunyun just agreed to get married and wants to get married as soon as possible." Yu Qingce saw He Shaoyun's expression and knew she must have been provoked to say that.
Xu Tiande was not surprised at all when he heard Yu Qingce say this.
“Even if you get married as soon as possible, you still have to follow the rules. You can’t just rush it. There has to be a background check before you can get married.” Xi Tiande was standing at the door just now.
Hearing what He Shaoyun said, it was clear that she was just saying it in anger.
“Then I’ll agree to her request,” Yu Qingce said to Xu Tiande.
Thinking of the extraordinary suffering this child had endured, she said with heartache, "What this child said is not wrong. He probably suffered too much and wants to live a better life."
“Wanting a better life is fine, but what she said was just acting on impulse.” Xu Tiande sighed and said helplessly, “Chu Lin is back. The guard at the gate said so. I had looked into it before. The boy Yunyun liked in Beijing is Chu Lin.”
"Then what should we do?" Yu Qingce asked Xu Tiande.
"What can we do? Let's ask again tomorrow. Marriage is a major life event, concerning a lifetime of happiness." Xu Tiande couldn't let his good friend down; he couldn't bear the responsibility if something really happened.
Yu Qingce remained silent for a while, then asked, "That guy named Chu Lin, I remember someone mentioning him?"
"This is Ye Hualan's cousin in this family compound. Didn't you arrange for medical staff and people from the neighborhood committee to take special care of the Chu family's two elders?" Xu Tiande helped Yu Qingce recall.
Yu Qingce suddenly remembered.
“Oh, their family is quite pitiful. Several children were driven to their deaths, and the granddaughter who got married had to sever ties with the family. Only one grandson is left to take care of the two elderly people.” Yu Qingce frowned slightly and looked at Xu Tiande, saying, “This family is living in great difficulty. If Yunyun marries him, she will still have to go to the countryside.”
"Save your breath. If they were really in a relationship, they wouldn't have waited until now. I just don't want Yunyun to make a decision about her marriage so soon, not to try to matchmake Chu Lin and Yunyun."
Xu Tiande, having learned about the family's living conditions, sighed and said, "Chu Lin is quite ambitious, and the person he likes is Lu He!"
"Ah!" Yu Qingce was alarmed upon hearing this and immediately stood up, saying, "How could Chu Lin possibly be worthy of Xiao He? Xiao He is my goddaughter, and I absolutely will not allow them to be together."
Yu Qingce was so anxious he was about to curse.
Thinking of Lu He, such a lovely and kind girl.
"Xu Tiande, let me tell you, Xiaohe absolutely cannot be with that Chu Lin. Xiaohe has suffered half her life. If you marry Chu Lin, she will definitely suffer even more." Yu Qingce said anxiously, putting his hands on his hips.
Thinking of how hardworking and diligent Lu He was, Yu Qingce felt sorry for her.
"Alright, so what I'm saying is that Chu Lin used to like Lu He, but so much time has passed, maybe he's already let it go." Xu Tiande comforted Yu Qingce, putting down his book and placing his hands on Yu Qingce's shoulders, "Come sit down and calm down."
Yu Qingche gradually calmed down.
“It’s not that I look down on the Chu family. I know that many families are forced into this situation. But I feel sorry for Lu He and I’m also anxious. Lu He and Lu Chen suffered so much in the Lu family. They were treated like servants and had to do all sorts of chores. Now that they’ve finally escaped the Lu family and are living the life they want, I can’t accept that Lu He has to marry into an unsuitable family and go back to suffer.”
Yu Qingce sat on the sofa, supporting his forehead with his hand, tears welling up in his eyes as he became anxious.
"Don't cry. I know you feel sorry for Lu He, but you have to respect Lu He's thoughts. We can't control what young people think." Xu Tiande regretted his words, realizing he had spoken too quickly and should have known better than to say it.
Yu Qingce looked at Xu Tiande.
He sighed, "Why doesn't Lu He like Fei Ming? If she marries Fei Ming, I, Hua Neng, can help Lu He and take better care of her. When we get old, we won't need Lu He and Fei Ming to take care of us. How can I accept it if Lu He marries a bad person in the future!"
These days, whenever Yu Qingce has time, he writes letters to Lu He, sends her delicious food, useful items, and clothes he made in his spare time.
Yu Qingce asked for nothing in return; he just wanted Lu He to be happy every day.
Yu Qingce knew about the Chu family's situation; it was very difficult. Even though Chu Lin was ambitious, he and Lu He were not a good match.
Lu He works in Beijing, but Chu Lin will be assigned to work in Fucheng after graduation.
Xu Tiande comforted her again, "Don't worry, Lu He might not like Chu Lin. Why are you so worried?"
“Old Xu, when I look at Lu He, I think of my deceased daughter. The daughter I imagined should look like this: cute, obedient, and sensible. Every time Lu He called me Aunt Yu, her voice was so sweet, and when she called Fei Ming Brother, she was so shy! If our daughter grows up, she should look like this too.”
Yu Qingce felt guilty; losing her child was a lifelong pain for her.
Xu Tiande looked at Yu Qingce with heartache, hugged her and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't let Lu He be with Chu Lin, I definitely won't. I will protect Xiao He and make sure she has a happy life."
He missed his deceased daughter dearly, but he dared not mention it, fearing his wife wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Old Xu, I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of our daughter!" Yu Qingce trembled with pain as he thought of his lost daughter.
Xu Tiande gently patted Yu Qingce on the shoulder.
“We weren’t meant to be with our daughter. Maybe she’s been reincarnated and found a happier family. Don’t be sad,” Xu Tiande comforted Yu Qingce.
When Yu Qingce cried, his body trembled, and he couldn't bear to cry out loud.
Xu Tiande sighed.
He Shaoyun and He Shaohua, after leaving the family compound, headed directly towards the front of the village.
