Besides this incident, gossip about the mother and son is also circulating in the village; the rumor-mongers are quite powerful.
They can make even baseless accusations sound incredibly convincing, let alone things they actually witnessed.
The cause, process, and result of the matter were explained clearly.
They even described the physical positions the mother and son used every day in great detail.
Not to mention Granny Feng, the educated youth settlement has been quite lively lately.
Li Xi and Fu Tingshen got married. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, but living together day and night can also lead to friction and arguments.
So Li Xi bought some basic review materials and dragged Fu Tingshen to look at them.
But there's no news right now, so studying is pointless, which Fu Tingshen naturally doesn't want, especially since he's with Li Xi.
And here they are, arguing again.
"Li Xi, if you want to see it yourself, can you please stop dragging me into it? Why have you become so annoying lately?"
"I'm annoyed? I'm doing this for your own good. Didn't you see everyone else is learning?" Li Xi was also very annoyed. She had married Fu Tingshen as she wished, but their relationship was getting worse and worse.
Fu Tingshen: "My affairs are none of your concern." He slammed the door and left.
Li Xi grabbed her hair in frustration.
Their argument naturally reached the ears of the other educated youth.
Some were just following the trend and learning it, and they didn't understand Lin Yueze's subtle question, "Why are you suddenly learning it?"
Lin Yueze smiled slightly: "Learning has no end, I'll enrich myself."
As time went by, Lu Chen listened to Ye Zhiyu and made money to buy houses in Haishi and Bao'an County.
In April, before the start of spring plowing, Ye Jinlin drove his grandfather to the Hongqi Brigade.
Since the engagement date had been set, Ye Zhiyu and Lu Chen waited at the village entrance after communicating by phone in advance.
"Hey, where are Ye Zhiqing and Lu Chen headed?" an old man asked.
Ye Zhiyu: "Nowhere, sir. Isn't it because Lu Chen and I are getting engaged? My dad and my grandpa are here, they'll be here soon."
As they were talking, a car drove up.
Some children nearby gathered around, excited because they rarely saw cars.
Ye Jinlin's car came to a stop, unable to move an inch.
The adults nearby were still discussing who this person was looking for. Ye Zhiyu had anticipated this and took Tang Ying's hand out of her pocket.
"Kids, come and have some candy! Don't crowd around the car, or you'll get hurt. First come, first served."
Sure enough, as soon as he heard there was candy, he turned around and ran towards her.
After sending the message, Ye Zhiyu opened the door and got into the car, leaving Lu Chen to lead the way and drive the others.
When they arrived at the Lu family's house, many people who believed the story came over to see the car. They heard that Ye Zhiqing's father and grandfather were in the car, so they came to see what was going on.
Looking at the car, Tian Hongfang trembled and grabbed Lu Weimin's sleeve.
"Honey, I'm scared."
"What's there to be afraid of? They're our in-laws." That's what he said, if you ignored his slightly trembling leg.
Lu Chen first helped Ye Zhiyu down, and together they went to greet the old man.
Ye Jinlin had already gotten off the bus. His resolute and upright face and tall figure clearly indicated that he was a soldier. Most importantly, Ye Zhiyu was only twenty years old this year, so her father must be at least forty.
They're the same age as them, how come they look so young?
Some young women and wives couldn't help but think to themselves, if they married a man like that, they would serve him every day and even feed him.
Thinking about it, Grandpa Ye also got out of the car. The old man was in good health, but he had some hidden injuries from fighting in those years, and his legs would hurt from time to time.
A dragon-headed cane was the first thing that caught everyone's eye. Some old men who used wooden sticks as walking sticks hid the things behind their backs.
The old man, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, was full of energy and exuded an aura of authority.
Looking at the two men who clearly had a more imposing presence than his superiors, Lu Weimin swallowed hard and greeted them with a smile.
Ye Zhiyu quickly introduced, "Uncle Lu, Auntie, this is my dad and my grandpa."
"Dad, Grandpa, these are Lu Chen's parents."
After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Weimin led the people inside.
"Don't stand at the door, it's warm inside."
Lu Chen and Lu Ze were unloading the things from the car, as Ye Jinlin had specifically pointed out earlier.
"Wow, what kind of gifts are these? I don't recognize any of them."
"Have you ever seen the things belonging to wealthy families?"
"The Lu family must be incredibly lucky." This remark was undeniably sarcastic.
A table full of dishes had already been set out in the main hall.
Lu Weimin: "Come, in-law, have a seat."
The Lu family members were somewhat reserved and unsure of what to say. Lu Yun nestled in Tian Hongfang's arms, her eyes wide open, curiously observing the two strangers.
Ye Jinlin first checked the seating arrangement. All the women were at the table, and there was no rule prohibiting women from sitting at the table. He was satisfied.
Noticing Lu Jun's gaze, his heart softened instantly. He thought of Ye Zhiyu when she was little, staring at him with that same bright, innocent look.
Her expression softened, and she took a handful of gummy candies from the bag over there.
"for you."
Lu Yun shyly buried herself in Tian Hongfang's arms. Tian Hongfang, afraid that Ye Jinlin would be unhappy, patted her shoulder.
"Quick, isn't your favorite candy? Here, Uncle will give you some, take it."
Lu Yun turned to look at Ye Jinlin, then at the candy in her hand, and took it.
I whispered thank you.
Ye Jinlin: "You're welcome. This is your youngest daughter."
Seeing that he was quite amiable, Tian Hongfang relaxed: "Yes, he's eleven this year. His full name is Lu Jun, and his nickname is Niu Niu."
Ye Jinlin turned to the old man and said, "Dad, look at Niu Niu's eyes. Don't they look like Zhiyu's when she was little? She used to look at us with those bright, sparkling eyes, making us want to give her the best of everything."
The tone was wistful, tinged with nostalgia.
He knew the other person was reserved. His own father was fine with fighting or something, but he couldn't keep up with awkward small talk. Children were the best way to build rapport, and he was speaking from the heart.
Grandpa Ye looked in that direction and said, "You know what, it really does look like her. How did our Zhiyu grow up so much?"
Indeed, parents have the most in common.
Lu Weimin: "Yes, it feels like just yesterday that Niu Niu was crying in my arms."
Ye Jinlin shifted the topic back to Ye Zhiyu: "Indeed, oh, right, I haven't thanked you for taking care of Zhiyu yet. During the time she was in the countryside, I couldn't eat or sleep well. She was spoiled rotten by me and her uncle since she was little. If she did anything wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Lu Weimin and Tian Hongfang quickly stopped them: "Oh, please don't. We're family, so let's not be so formal. Besides, Zhiyu is a very sensible child. If we're talking about taking care of her, only our son can help out with his strength."
Once she started talking, she couldn't stop, and there was wine nearby.
Before long, Ye Jinlin and Lu Weimin were calling each other brothers, and the old man was very happy, as farming was his favorite thing to do.
While they were drinking, Ye Zhiyu and the others finished their meal and left the table, but Lu Chen stayed with them.
