Sun Changsheng frowned and looked at Lu Yuan and Wen Moxue with displeasure.
"You two get this done quickly, and don't let any bad rumors spread in the village."
He also had his own selfish motives; judging from his nephew's expression, he hadn't given up on this educated youth surnamed Wen. In the past, it wouldn't have mattered; an educated youth with no one to rely on in the countryside couldn't cause much trouble.
But now that she's involved with Lu Yuan, that scoundrel, if she does anything to Wen Zhiqing again, that scoundrel might just grab a knife and attack her.
If the two of them get married sooner, it will be easier for that troublesome nephew to give up on them.
He gave the two of them a meaningful look before leaving with his hands behind his back.
Everyone else left, leaving only Yang Caihong and He Shenghua, the leader of the educated youth team.
"Wen Zhiqing, are you really going to marry such a scoundrel in the village?"
He Shenghua frowned and advised.
"You know what kind of person he is. He's lazy, never works, and is uneducated. You two have absolutely nothing in common."
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. Was it really okay to say that to his face?
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you talk like that? What I am is none of your business. I haven't eaten your rice."
Taking the opportunity, He Shenghua pointed at him and continued, "Look at him, he has no manners at all. How can you marry someone like that?"
Lu Yuan scoffed, "You think you're so classy just because you belittle me to my face?"
He Shenghua snorted coldly, ignoring him and staring at Wen Moxue, hoping to change her mind.
Yang Caihong, worried that Wen Moxue might be persuaded, quickly said,
“Brother He, there’s nothing we can do about it. If Mo Xue doesn’t get married, her reputation will be ruined, and she’ll probably have a hard time getting married in the future.”
"How could I not be able to get married, I..."
He hesitated, wanting to say that he was willing to marry her.
But he was too embarrassed to say such blunt things in front of the group.
Lu Yuan sneered. He could easily see that this man had also taken a liking to his fiancée.
The other two understood his unspoken meaning; one was so angry he was itching to speak, while the other quickly expressed his opinion.
“He Zhiqing, you don’t need to say anymore. Comrade Lu is a good person and he saved my life. A person who can save others from danger can’t be a bad person. I believe he will change for the better after he gets married.”
Yang Caihong quickly echoed her sentiment.
"Yes, yes, that's how men are. They develop a sense of responsibility after getting married. Comrade Lu must be the same, right, Comrade Lu?"
Lu Yuan looked down on this scheming woman, but he wouldn't expose her at this time.
He snorted through his nose and said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement.
He Shenghua wanted to say a few more words of advice, but Wen Moxue didn't give him the chance.
"You all go to work first, so as not to delay and get your work points deducted. I'd like to have a few more words with Comrade Lu."
Yang Caihong was overjoyed and urged the person to leave.
With only the two of them left, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Lu Yuan said, "Let me take you back to the educated youth settlement first."
My clothes are still wet; I need to go back and change.
The two walked one after the other along the path.
"Thank you for saving me!" Wen Moxue expressed her sincere gratitude.
Lu Yuan casually replied, "No need to thank me. Since you're going to repay me with your body anyway, I'm not at a loss."
Wen Moxue choked, paused, and then said,
"Comrade Lu, you should also know Sun Ziqiang's feelings for me. My decision to marry you was out of necessity."
Of course he knew that.
"So what you said about marrying me was also a lie?"
"It's not fake, no, it's definitely fake..."
She was a little incoherent, so she simply turned around and stood facing Lu Yuan.
"Comrade Lu, I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you beforehand. What I meant was a sham marriage, but I wouldn't tell anyone."
Lu Yuan nodded. "I understand. You want to pretend to marry me, move in with me, and even sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed), but I just can't touch you. Is that what you mean?"
The meaning was roughly the same, but when he said it so bluntly, Wen Moxue immediately felt embarrassed, but still blushed and gently hummed in agreement.
Lu Yuan stared at her from head to toe, a playful smile on his face.
"You should know how alluring you are. If we were to sleep on the same bed, do you think a man as vigorous as me could resist?"
Wen Moxue's face turned even redder at a visible speed, but she did feel much more at ease.
"The fact that you say it so directly shows that you don't have those ulterior motives."
"Besides, you were very well-behaved when you saved me, which shows that you are a gentleman."
Lu Yuan grinned mischievously, "Heh, I'm not some gentleman. If there's a beautiful woman lying next to me, I'll never compromise myself; I'll do whatever I want."
"you……"
Wen Moxue was furious and embarrassed. This guy was really a scoundrel who dared to say anything.
She gently bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her face flushed as she glared at him.
Lu Yuan coughed lightly. Didn't this woman know that she was seducing someone?
He looked away. "Besides, why should I help you? You're only married to me in name, you eat my food and live in my house, and you won't even let me touch you. What do I get out of this?"
Wen Moxue quickly replied, "No, I'll just stay where you are. I'll bring my own food, and I can even support you."
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up. Was there really such a good thing?
"Will you support me?"
Wen Moxue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I'll take care of you. You can still do what you always do, without having to go to work, and I'll cover all your food expenses."
"Will you be able to give me a full meal?"
"It must be possible."
"Forget it, no need. I can eat my fill now. It's so comfortable to have my own room and a kang (heated brick bed) all by myself."
Being free is true, but being well-fed is not.
Wen Moxue was stunned, thinking that the other party would agree immediately.
They had no choice but to increase their bets.
"I can also do your laundry, cook for you, and take care of all the housework."
Lu Yuan seemed unmoved; even if he didn't work, he didn't need to do these things.
The stepsister who came with the stepmother is quite diligent.
“Someone at home does these things.”
Wen Moxue gritted her teeth, "I can still give you two yuan every month."
Consider it payment of rent and protection money.
Lu Yuan simply shook his head, "Am I someone who's short of money!"
His firm tone almost convinced him.
Wen Muxue was surprised. He's not short of money? How could that be?
"So what exactly do you want?"
Lu Yuan chuckled, "I want people."
"You, you filthy scoundrel."
She stepped forward and stomped on his foot hard, then turned and ran away.
"hiss--"
This girl looks thin, but she has quite a strong kick.
He followed behind, grinning and limping.
"Hey, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously."
"I'd agree to five yuan a month."
The person in front immediately stopped and turned around to ask uncertainly,
"Are you telling the truth?"
Lu Yuan replied, "If what you said is true, then I am true."
Wen Moxue slowly raised her smile, "Okay, it's a deal."
After escorting the person back to the educated youth settlement, Lu Yuan picked up his wet clothes, waved, and said, "I'm leaving."
Wen Moxue hurriedly asked, "Are you coming to pick me up today or tomorrow?"
Lu Yuan stumbled.
"So urgent?"
