Xiaoyue still had half of her house to finish renovating, so she had no interest in going to town with Ge Erping. However, after being persuaded by Grandma Ge, Xiaoyue thought that now that she was living independently, she should at least know how to go to town for a stroll.
Finally, Xiaoyue followed Ge Erping onto Ge Dalin's carriage.
Although Xiaoyue didn't know why Ge Erping had dragged her along, she also wanted to go to the market, familiarize herself with the town, and see if there were any jobs she could earn money. Ge Dalin's oxcart didn't go into Hejia Town.
Since passing through the town required paying a vehicle tax, Ge Dalin drove the car to the intersection closest to Hejia Town and let Ge Erping and Xiaoyue get out.
As soon as Ge Erping got off the oxcart, he didn't head into town. Instead, he came in from the south side of town, walked along the main road for a while, and then turned west. Xiaoyue's heart pounded with alarm; fearing that Ge Erping might do something malicious, she refused to go any further.
Ge Erping turned around and looked at Xiaoyue, who was dawdling, and asked impatiently, "Come on, why aren't you moving?"
Xiaoyue stared at Ge Erping for a while, then asked, "Where are you leading me? Why don't you take the main road and instead insist on taking the side road?"
Ge Erping pretended to be intimate and held Xiaoyue's hand, "Let's go to Qingfeng Academy, the academy where Gao Lei and Hu Banxia are."
"What are you going there for? I don't want to go, you go by yourself." Xiaoyue pulled her hand away and answered impatiently.
“How can I go by myself? I thought about it while I was lying on the kang. Since Mother and Second Sister-in-law won’t go to the Gao family to clear things up for me, I’ll go find Gao Lei myself. He saw us fighting that day, so his impression of me must be terrible. You can explain it to him, and that will be fine,” Ge Erping said matter-of-factly.
I really don't know if Ge Erping has a screw loose. What's the point of saying anything? It'll only make things worse.
"I'm not going. Two girls going to see a strange man? I can't bear the shame. If the villagers start gossiping, I'll be in deep trouble." Xiaoyue found a shady spot and said sarcastically.
"You have to go. Otherwise, would Gao Lei have such a bad impression of me if we hadn't fought?" Ge Erping angrily grabbed Xiaoyue's hand and started walking forward. Xiaoyue thought that she still needed Erpingzi to familiarize herself with the roads in town, so she half-heartedly followed him.
