Fu Hongxing stopped, turned around, and stared into Tan Qingshan's eyes.
Instead of answering his question, she countered with, "Why do you ask that?"
Tan Qingshan felt uncomfortable under his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "I just heard people in the coal mine saying that, Brother Hongxing, Ning Jing is really a good woman, you... don't let her down."
He said these words with a mix of anxiety and desperation.
After saying this, Tan Qingshan didn't look up at Fu Hongxing again.
Even if Fu Hongxing hit him, he would not complain.
His father had already asked his mother to find him a partner, but when he learned that Fu Hongxing had returned, his last glimmer of hope was extinguished.
So he has already nodded in agreement.
I believe it won't be long before he marries a woman.
Tan Qingshan told himself not to think about Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing anymore, but this time, when he heard that Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing had a conflict, he couldn't control himself and couldn't help but want to come and talk to Brother Hongxing to clear things up.
Perhaps... perhaps just like how Brother Hongxing abandoned Ning Jing to join the army, he didn't like Ning Jing.
What if that's the case?
If that's the case, does it mean he has a chance to express his feelings?
Fu Hongxing's pupils contracted sharply, and his fists clenched tightly.
If these words were to fall into the ears of her suspicious husband, he would probably start arguing with Ning Jing as soon as they got home.
Tan Qingshan closed his eyes, waiting for Fu Hongxing's fist to fall.
But it seemed like a long time passed before they heard a soft laugh from Fu Hongxing.
"Qingshan, you seem to be overthinking things. Others have probably misunderstood as well."
Ning Jing is a good woman, I know that better than anyone else, and naturally I will not let her down.
You didn't come to see me this time just because you heard those rumors, did you?
Don't worry, we're both fine!
Your sister-in-law is still waiting at home, so I'll head back now.
After saying that, he reached out and patted Tan Qingshan on the shoulder hard.
Then he turned around and strode home, not looking at Tan Qingshan's face, which turned deathly pale after hearing his words.
Tan Qingshan raised his head, revealing a pale face, looked at Fu Hongxing's back, and then gave a self-deprecating laugh.
I was indeed selfish, whether it was working in this coal mine or anything else.
He initially agreed to let his father work in the coal mine, but secretly he planned to wait a few years, save some money, and then find a way to bring Ning Jing over as well, so she could at least work as a temporary worker in the coal mine.
Even if Ning Jing remarries, as long as he can convince his parents, there shouldn't be any major problems.
After all, the coal mine is so big, and no one from the village works here.
As long as you don't go to the village, you won't hear those gossips.
As time went by, the days passed.
But all of this became a pipe dream after Fu Hongxing returned alive.
Fu Hongxing strode home, only slowing down when he reached his doorstep.
Thinking back to the murderous aura that suddenly erupted from Tan Qingshan when he said those words, he felt a chill run down his spine.
According to his original intention when he returned, if it were Qingshan, he shouldn't be so disgusted and irritable as he is now.
At that moment, he used all his strength to restrain himself from punching Tan Qingshan in the face.
Raise your hand, open it, examine it carefully, then place it on your chest and feel your heart pounding violently.
Why did he feel that something was different after he came back?
