Du Jiang's prediction was correct. After Luo Yue explained the cause and effect of the incident and Guan Chuan's aftermath, Uncle Yu's expression improved a little. However, Aunt Yu and Yu Chunyue had gloomy faces, and they looked at Du Jiang and Luo Yue with disdain.
Du Jiang and Luo Yue were not the kind of people who would swallow their anger in silence, not to mention that the incident was not caused by them, so they immediately stood up and said goodbye when Yu Chunyue started to find fault.
Du Jiang: "Uncle Yu, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."
Luo Yue followed closely behind, "Yeah, I have a lot to do too, Uncle Yu, you go ahead and do your work."
Seeing his wife and daughter's reactions, Uncle Yu felt a bit overwhelmed. "Sorry, Chunxiao, please see Du Jiang and Luo Yue off."
"Okay, Dad." Yu Chunxiao's expression was normal. He even winked at Du Jiang and Luo Yue as he stood up. "Let's go, Sister Jiang, Luo Yue."
As the three of them walked out the door, Yu Chunyue's voice rang out from behind them, "Mom, look at the people living here. I told you to buy a house in town, but you insisted on listening to me and moving to this remote place. Now look what's happened! You're in trouble before you even have time to rest. How will I get married if my reputation is ruined?"
Yu Chunyue did not lower her voice at all, and even raised it a few notches for fear that Du Jiang and the others could not hear her. Du Jiang and Luo Yue looked at each other and pretended not to hear and quickened their pace.
When they returned to the front yard, Guan Nian and the others were fetching water to wash clothes. Du Jiang glanced at the main house and simply pulled Luo Yue and Yu Chunxiao back to the room to talk. As soon as the three of them sat down, Gu Ruomei and Duan Yin also rushed over.
Du Jiang sighed, took out the biscuits and hard candies from the cabinet and placed them on the low square table on the bed. Several people gathered around the square table, twisting the candy wrappers absentmindedly. Finally, Luo Yue couldn't bear it any longer and spoke first, "Sister Jiang, this matter won't involve the educated youth center, right?" No matter how at ease, she was just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, not to mention that it was her first time encountering such a thing. Du Jiang patted her hand on the table and said, "Don't worry. Although Guan Chuan seems to be careless, he is reliable in his work. Moreover, this matter is a problem of character. Guan Chuan himself is also a member of the educated youth center. Since Brother Xu has asked Guan Chuan to be responsible for the second phase today, I'm afraid that Guan Chuan will be the boss of the educated youth center in the future. You guys should just focus on yourself."
Luo Yue finally felt relieved after hearing this, but she still couldn't help but complain a few words, "What kind of thing is this? We are all here to work, how can he take advantage of a girl?"
Du Jiang touched the tip of his nose. "Maybe he's too tired. Besides, I noticed Zuo Qingfeng's family didn't send much stuff in the past. You all know what happened with Big Brother Li. I guess that boy has some bad intentions. But the girls in the village are all strictly guarded by their families. Only Wu Ya has no parents. But fortunately, her brothers are pretty good. Although they got married and separated, they still had a good relationship with her."
"That's true," Duan Yin said, having the good fortune to be assigned to a group with Du Wuya. "Her sisters-in-law are not bad either. Wuya won't suffer any loss. I'm just afraid that Zuo Qingfeng will take advantage of her and not consider that her brother is not someone to be trifled with."
Gu Ruomei chuckled, "I estimate that Du Wuya's family will come here tomorrow at the latest to take away his things. He just has to wait and see. Du Wuya can't see clearly, but her brothers are not stupid. They have survived the years of famine and relied on each other for survival. Even if they get married and separate, they won't let their sister be taken advantage of."
"That's true," Du Jiang nodded in agreement. "Since this marriage is a done deal, let's think about the gift. After all, she's my only sister, and Zuo Qingfeng is marrying into the family. I reckon Du Wuya's family will have to hold a grand ceremony to make this matter official in the village. As long as Zuo Qingfeng remains in Dujia Village, he'll be firmly tied to Du Wuya's family."
"That's true," Duan Yin nodded in agreement. "Zuo Qingfeng is not a good person, but Du Wuya is not bad. Last time, I worked slowly, but she didn't rush me. She taught me how to exert more strength and even gave me half a steamed bun."
Speaking of Du Wuya's enthusiasm, Duan Yin and Gu Ruomei had a lot to say. They praised Du Wuya one after another, saying that she was not good-looking but had a kind heart, comparable to a good person for ten generations.
Yu Chunxiao didn't say a word during the conversation, but after everyone finished speaking, he suddenly said, "My dad and his family are probably moving to town."
Uh, the atmosphere instantly turned cold. Looking at Yu Chunxiao's depressed face, Du Jiang and Luo Yue didn't know how to comfort him and could only hand over the candy.
Yu Chunxiao looked at the hard candy in her hand and forced a smile. "I'm fine. I just didn't expect that we'd be separated so soon after our hard-earned reunion. Fortunately, the distance isn't too far. I can still go over when I have a break."
"Yes, the town and the village are not too far away," Du Jiang comforted dryly. Looking at Yu Chunxiao's face, which looked uglier than crying, he closed his mouth at the right time. Others did not dare to say a word until they heard Guan Chuan's voice outside the door.
Because they were worried about Du Wuya and Zuo Qingfeng, Du Jiang and the others ran out as soon as they heard the noise. Looking at the bright smile on Guan Chuan's face, they knew what was going on without asking, and Du Jiang instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Guan Chuan entered the yard, Du Wuya's elder brother Du Dachuan walked in and greeted everyone happily. "I am Wuchuan, Wuya's elder brother. Tomorrow is the wedding of my sister and Zuo Qingfeng. You must come then." After that, he stuffed a handful of hard candies into Guan Chuan's hand and left without looking back.
Looking at the burly Du Dachuan who disappeared at the door, Du Jiang couldn't guess for a moment whether the other party was happy or unhappy, but since he was given candy, he should be happy.
"This Wuchuan is at most 1.5 meters tall, but this Dachuan is quite tall," Luo Yue said vaguely as she peeled a candy and put it in her mouth. "But their faces are very similar, with flat noses, so they are easy to recognize."
"The wedding is tomorrow," Gu Rumei said with a headache, "Luckily, I exchanged a lot of things at the market before the New Year, so I can pick a few things."
With Gu Ruomei's start, Duan Yin, Luo Yue and the others could no longer stand still. They said hello to Du Da and hurried into the house to look for things. Guan Liang and the others followed them, leaving only Guan Chuan, Yu Chunxiao and Du Jiang in the yard.
Du Jiang shrugged, reached out and patted Yu Chunxiao's shoulder, "Why don't you go back and take a look too."
Yu Chunxiao shrugged nonchalantly, "Forget it. My parents are here, so one portion is enough."
