To her surprise, Feng Yi told her to wait a moment, and a little while later, he returned from somewhere pushing a bicycle that looked quite new.
"Baozhu, hurry up and get in. This car was borrowed from someone else. How could I bear to let you walk back? Wouldn't that make me too useless?"
Unfortunately, if she were to take a bicycle back, Tang Baozhu would probably prefer to walk. The road was very bumpy, and she was worried that her bottom wouldn't be able to take it, so she hesitated a bit about whether to get on the bicycle.
Feng Yi knew what she meant just by looking at her expression. He took two pieces of clothing from his bag and tied them to the back seat. After tying them up, he patted them to make sure they weren't too stiff before he felt relieved.
"Baozhu, come up here. You won't feel uncomfortable sitting like this."
Tang Baozhu touched it; it was soft. Although the effect might not be very good, it was better than nothing.
Sit sideways on it; that looks more refined.
After making sure the little girl was seated properly, Feng Yi got on his bike and rode off, constantly reminding her to hold on tight and be careful not to fall.
What he really wanted was for the girl to grab his clothes or hug his waist, but he knew she was shy, so he didn't say it.
Tang Baozhu felt that even though she had clothes on the seat, her buttocks still hurt terribly after sitting for a while. She wasn't embarrassed at all. When her buttocks hurt, she simply asked Feng Yi to stop the car and rest for a while before continuing on her way.
She wouldn't suffer for the sake of saving face; even if she was in excruciating pain, she wouldn't stop him from stopping.
At noon, Tang Baozhu took out the dry food she had put in her bundle and had a quick bite with Feng Yi. Riding a bicycle was indeed much faster than walking. After riding for another hour or two, they would reach the city.
Feng Yi's home in the city had long since collapsed. As a child who had grown up relying on the kindness of others, having a small house to shelter him from the wind and rain was already considered quite good.
After so many years away, the little house that had sheltered them from the wind and rain had long since collapsed from the elements, so this time the two of them went straight back to Tang Baozhu's house.
From afar, I could see someone knocking on my door. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was the same women's director from last time.
Tang Baozhu got out of the car and stopped directly at the entrance. "Director Chen, what brings you here?"
Director Chen had actually come yesterday, but no one answered the door. She thought that the concubine was hiding inside and wouldn't come out, so she came again today, only to find that she really wasn't home.
Looking at the man in military uniform riding a bicycle, he was momentarily at a loss for words, and tentatively asked, "Comrade Tang, may I ask who this gentleman is?"
Upon seeing Director Chen, Tang Baozhu felt an immediate sense of disgust, knowing that she couldn't be here for anything good, and wondering which old man had paid her to come looking for her.
Even if she becomes a widow, not everyone will want to marry her. If she finds out who those people with bad intentions are, she will deal with them sooner or later.
Feng Yi had already heard from the young girl that Director Chen wanted to marry her off. If it weren't for Director Chen's firm stance in arranging the marriage, the young girl might not have even thought of contacting him.
Although he was quite happy that the girl had come to him, he never had a good impression of anyone who wanted to make a move on her.
"Director Chen, I am Baozhu's fiancé. I came back from the army specifically to get our marriage certificate. I heard that my fiancé has been causing you trouble during this time. I'm really sorry."
Director Chen's face instantly turned ugly. You see, she had accepted a favor from someone and promised to introduce this concubine to him. She would also give him a reward after it was done. She didn't expect that after only two days, a fiancé would suddenly appear.
"Comrade Tang, how come I've never heard you mention having a fiancé? If I had known you had a fiancé, I wouldn't have helped you find a partner. You didn't mention it to me last time either, so it seems there's been a misunderstanding this time."
To Tang Baozhu's utter disgust, they still tried to sow discord even at this point.
Unfortunately, Director Chen is said to have powerful connections, so she doesn't dare to openly beat him up. It seems she'll have to teach him a lesson secretly.
Matchmaking requires the consent of both parties. His forceful insistence on agreeing is particularly infuriating. Let her have a couple of days to herself for now, and then give her a good beating before she leaves.
She'd be willing to sell herself if she didn't take the money; she'd even take her surname.
"It's my fault for not telling Director Chen beforehand. It's not too late to tell you now. This is my fiancé, Feng Yi. Feng Yi and I grew up together, but he went to join the army, so we haven't heard from him for a long time. It wasn't until a few days ago when I saw how much you cared about finding me a partner, that I thought I couldn't let you down, so I simply brought my fiancé back."
"I'm so sorry to have troubled Director Chen with my fiancée. I won't trouble Director Chen anymore. I will keep everything about her in mind."
These words directly told Director Chen not to meddle in other people's business. Director Chen understood this, so his expression became even more unpleasant than before.
The thought of having to return the favors she had received a few days ago made her feel incredibly pained, but she couldn't do anything about it. If her aunt had just found any man, she could have found a way to ruin her marriage, but now that her aunt had found a soldier, she didn't dare to do anything about it.
He could only say goodbye to the two of them with a frustrated expression, and left in a hurry before Tang Baozhu and Feng Yi could even speak.
Tang Baozhu was in a bad mood after encountering such an unlucky thing as soon as she got back, but fortunately Feng Yi kept coaxing her, which cheered her up.
Feng Yi was incredibly diligent. As soon as he entered the house, he started cleaning it, even though it wasn't dirty at all. Tang Baozhu had cleaned it a few days ago.
Seeing that he was going to tidy up, she didn't refuse. It was good that he was diligent and didn't have the attitude that it was his duty to have his female colleague tidy up, which made her very satisfied.
After tidying up, they went to the kitchen to boil water. They were both covered in dust from their journey. Once the water was boiled, they both took a shower.
Tang Baozhu actually wanted to go outside to inquire about the news, since three people had suddenly disappeared, and she didn't know if they had been discovered, or if they had been discovered and a police report had been filed.
I'm not planning to go out today. I'll go out tomorrow. Tomorrow, the two of us are going to get our marriage certificate. Since we don't have any relatives or friends here, we'll just give out some wedding candy to the neighbors. We'll ask around on the street later.
