Chapter 93

Li Taohong had no intention of belittling her son.

What I said just now was mainly to comfort Xiaoyueliang and not let the little girl think that their family really has any bad intentions.

But I didn't expect that it was such a coincidence that my son heard everything clearly.

But now was not the time to explain, so she changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Why did you come back so soon?"

Lu Hong first glanced at the unfamiliar room, then looked at his old lady with a smile, and then he raised the prey in his hand: "The rabbit is still alive. Apply some medicine to its leg wound. It can still recover for a few days."

As he said this, he nodded politely to the old lady and went to the kitchen carrying the rabbit.

Seeing this, Ruiting couldn't leave, so she winked at the girl who was painting by the window.

Miaomiao immediately put away her pen and chased after him: "Uncle, I want to apply medicine to the little rabbit too."

Lu Hong turned around and waited for someone. After his little niece caught up with him, he slowed down his pace and led everyone to the kitchen.

When I got the herbs and started to clean the rabbit's wound, he asked with a smile: "Do you have something to tell me? Go ahead, if you want me to take you out to paint, forget it, it's too cold outside."

Hearing this, Miaomiao twitched her lips and couldn't help but complain: "Uncle, I am young, not stupid. Are you going out to paint in this weather? Are you risking your life?"

Li Hong smiled with his white teeth: "Yes, our Miao Miao has been smart since she was young."

Miaomiao: "Mom asked me to come over and tell you that the old lady in the room is a matchmaker, so it's best not to go over there yet."

Ru Hong guessed it out: "Is the lesbian the matchmaker mentioned not good?"

Miaomiao was a little surprised: "Uncle, you have become smarter."

Li Hong poked his niece's forehead with a finger, bared his teeth and said fiercely: "Stop teasing me, or I'll beat you up."

Miaomiao was not afraid. She pushed her uncle's hand away, told him who the girl introduced by the matchmaker was, and turned around to go back to the main room.

Seeing this, Lu Hong was surprised: "Don't you want to learn how to bandage a little rabbit?"

"...No."

This room.

After making sure that the Lu family had no feelings towards Lin Zhiqing, Aunt Gu began to praise Qian Rongrong to the utmost.

To many people, it was simply a dream come true, and not being able to marry a rich educated youth would be a huge loss.

Seeing that Li Taohong was getting more and more excited the more she listened, and her joy on her face did not seem fake, Aunt Gu struck while the iron was hot: "...It's snowy and cold outside, and I'm old now, it's not easy for me to make a trip. Fortunately, your old fifth brother is here, why don't you ask him for his opinion? If he is willing, how about we meet and meet later?"

Li Taohong was confused: "Now?"

Seeing her reaction, Aunt Gu smiled and said, "Do you think it's almost time?"

Li Taohong: “Yes, there are some.”

Aunt Gu waved her hands: "Why hurry up? Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart... I've seen a lot of good girls being so popular..." At this point, she lowered her voice again and said mysteriously: "The boy of the old secretary of our village, the one who drives a truck in the county, is respectable, right? He has a stable job, and he also likes Qian Zhiqing. If Qian Zhiqing didn't like soldiers, this good thing really wouldn't have been yours... By the way, you better keep this to yourself, don't go back and ruin the reputation of the good girl."

Li Taohong nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course."

Aunt Gu: "So what do you think...?"

People are generally like this. No matter what, whatever is fought over is good.

Li Taohong was no exception. She was already caught up in the other party's rhetoric. Just as she was about to respond, she heard her granddaughter, who had been leaning against her, say, "But my uncle is out."

"Ah? Xiaohong went out?"

When Miaomiao met her grandmother's and the matchmaker's eyes, she nodded her head affirmatively: "I went out when I came back."

No one would have thought that a ten-year-old would lie, at least Li Taohong and Aunt Gu did not suspect anything.

Li Taohong looked at the matchmaker and said embarrassedly: "His third aunt, look at this matter..."

What else could Aunt Gu do? She smiled and stood up: "Nothing, it's just a coincidence. Isn't it said that good things take time? Well, I'm not going home now. You can come to my third sister's house to find me later, and we can set a time to meet each other."

Hearing this, Li Taohong stood up and hurriedly went to find a bag of snacks, then enthusiastically saw the person out the door.

Regardless of whether the marriage is successful or not, it is not easy to offend the matchmaker.

However, to Li Taohong's surprise, when she returned to the main room, she found her son there. She took off her shoes and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Hong: "I've always been here."

Hearing this, Li Taohong was stunned for a moment, then she looked at her granddaughter who was sitting by the window painting again.

Seeing this, Ruting hurriedly said, "I asked Miaomiao to do that."

"Why is that? Lao Wu is unhappy?"

Lin Jiaojiao walked forward, took her aunt's hand, and pulled her to sit on the kang, then said, "Actually, it was my idea. You forgot that I lived in the educated youth camp for half a month."

Li Taohong finally reacted and frowned: "Is that educated youth Qian... a bad person?"

Lin Jiaojiao did not hide it either: "She has a very good relationship with several male comrades in the educated youth center. She accepts all offers of food and help with work." As for the fact that she accidentally caught Qian Rongrong kissing a man in the cornfield and the grove, she decided not to tell her about it to scare her aunt.

After all, the two points she just mentioned were enough to make my aunt angry.

This was indeed the case. Li Taohong was furious, but her anger was directed at the matchmaker: "What?! How could Gu be so wicked? He didn't even ask for details before introducing someone?! No, I have to get that snack back."

Having said that, he rushed out in a hurry.

Worried that his mother might suffer, Lu Hong quickly chased after him.

Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao was also worried that her aunt and the big guy would suffer, so she sat for a while and then put on a thick jacket and went out.

"Should we go take a look?"

Tingting unfolded the paper-cut window paper and took a look. She found that there was a part that was not cut well, so she folded it up carefully again: "No need, the little moon is here."

Weishuang: "With her tiny arms and legs, what can she do?"

Hearing this, Li Ting shook his head in amusement: "You don't necessarily have to rely on your legs to do a fight."

This room.

Li Taohong rushed out with a lot of anger.

After walking out for only a dozen steps, I saw someone behind a wall.

What surprised her was that not only the matchmaker but also Qian Zhiqing was there.

After meeting each other so suddenly, Aunt Gu and Qian Rongrong were both a little confused.

Before she could react, Li Taohong came up with a sullen face and took the snack from her arms.

Aunt Gu: "... Taohong, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Li Taohong was not one to be humiliated, and immediately put her hands on her hips and cursed: "You old fool actually asked me what I mean? Matchmaking should also be based on conscience! You are full of nonsense, and you are not afraid of doing too much and getting yourself into trouble!"

Being scolded for no reason, Aunt Gu was of course not happy. Her usually droopy eyelids instantly curled into triangles, and she looked completely devoid of humility: "Why am I talking so much nonsense? If you look down on educated youth Qian, why don't you just ignore him? Why are you scolding him? He's just a lousy soldier. What are you so proud of? You wait, I'll have a good chat with my old sisters later and see who dares to find a partner for Lu Hong. He'll be single for the rest of his life!"

These words really touched Li Taohong's heart. After all, she had just witnessed how powerful the matchmaker's tongue was.

If she really spread this everywhere, how would Lao Wu be able to find a good girl?

Thinking of this, Li Taohong trembled with anger. She raised her finger to point at the person and was about to curse back when someone grabbed her arm.

She turned around subconsciously and found that it was Xiaoyue: "Why...why are you here?"

Lin Jiaojiao didn't reply, but stood in front of her aunt with a look of heartache, then looked at the matchmaker and Qian Rongrong coldly, and warned them: "You two dare to go out and talk nonsense, what? Are you two the only ones who have the guts to talk nonsense? I want to see whether everyone believes the Lu family or you two."

Of course, I trust the Lu family. After all, the entire commune can have today's income, but it is inseparable from Lu Ting's promotion...

Thinking about the rabbits she had at home, she was worried that the team would take back her family's quota. Aunt Gu was shocked to find out that the girl had found her weakness, and she softened her attitude first: "This is a misunderstanding. I'm just a matchmaker, and I'm paid to do my job."

Then she pointed to the lesbian next to her and said, "It was her. She gave me 10 yuan as a favor and said she would give me another 50 yuan as a matchmaking gift after the relationship is established."

That is 60 yuan, which is not a small number. Even Li Taohong, who comes from a well-off family, widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Qian Zhiqing in disbelief.

Qian Rongrong originally planned not to help either side, after all, she couldn't afford to offend either side.

But unexpectedly, the matchmaker gave her away so quickly.

Although she gritted her teeth in anger, she did not dare to turn hostile directly.

Qian Rongrong first looked at the tall man standing behind Aunt Li with a stern face, and then said a little embarrassedly: "I...I also like...I admire soldiers too much, because I heard that many people want to see...see Comrade Lu Hong, so I...I spent more money."

After speaking awkwardly, Qian Rongrong carefully looked up at the man opposite her, but found that there was no change in his expression or eyes.

It was as if he didn't hear a word I said just now.

Thinking of this, Qian Rongrong cursed him in her heart as "idiot". Just when she was considering whether to add fuel to the fire, she heard Lin Jiaojiao, whom she envied the most, said: "...There are some things I don't want to talk about. You can do whatever you want."

Qian Rongrong was delighted. She never expected that the opportunity to clear her name would come so quickly.

She quickly put on an insulted and angry expression: "Lin Zhiqing, I know why you say that. You are also attracted to Ru Hong, right? Comrade Ru is so outstanding and so manly. I can understand that you have feelings for him, but you should be open and honest. You can't just throw dirty water on me just because we are competitors, right?"

Lin Jiaojiao...

In fact, after experiencing three years of hardship and darkness, although Lin Jiaojiao is not a gentleman, he will not hurt women easily. After all, it is really difficult for women to survive these days.

This is also the reason why she gave Qian Rongrong opportunities again and again.

However, she didn't expect that the other party not only didn't know how to restrain himself, but also believed that he had no evidence and challenged her bottom line one after another.

So, why should she force herself to be a good person?

So, this time, Lin Jiaojiao said directly: "Five years ago in April, in the cornfield; five years ago in June, in the small woods on the back mountain; four years ago, in the cave on the back mountain; three years ago...do you want me to continue?"

Qian Rongrong didn't react at first, but when she met the other party's meaningful warning look, she slowly remembered that these places were the places where she had made intimate appointments with people.

At this moment, she felt as if she was stripped naked.

After a while, Qian Rongrong, with cold sweat all over her back, tried hard not to collapse to the ground, and said timidly, "I don't understand what you are saying."

Lin Jiaojiao curled her eyes: "If you don't understand, I can explain it more clearly."

It was clearly a gentle smile, but in Qian Rongrong's eyes, her scalp was tingling and the hairs on her back stood up. She almost yelled, "No need!"

But after she finished speaking, she met the suspicious looks of the matchmaker and Li Taohong. She paused for a moment, finally calming down and showing a smile that was uglier than crying: "Well, I... I remembered, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Qian Rongrong didn't even dare to look at the expressions of the few people. She turned around and ran away, staggering.

After the people walked away, Aunt Gu felt that she had caught Qian Rongrong's handle. She pinched the big ball in her pocket with pride, and realized that the 10 yuan should be saved. She said, "I really didn't know that the educated youth Qian was hiding in the woods and corn fields with men."

At this point, she spat on the ground in disgust: "What bad luck! If I had known she was such a loser, I wouldn't have helped her."

Hearing this, before Li Taohong could recover from her shock, Lin Jiaojiao frowned and said, "Who said that Qian Zhiqing went into the woods with others? Auntie, please don't talk nonsense and ruin his reputation."

Aunt Gu glared at her: "Then what you just said..."

Lin Jiaojiao stretched out her hand towards the person: "I didn't say anything, you are just guessing, give me the money."

Aunt Gu took a step back subconsciously: "What... money?"

Lin Jiaojiao: "Take out the 10 yuan from the educated youth."

Although she looked down on Qian Rongrong, she was not willing to give the money to Aunt Gu.

If the two of them start fighting, Lin Jiaojiao won't give them the chance to ruin the reputation of the Lu family.

Thinking of this, she looked at the matchmaker calmly and said again: "Give me the money, or I will tell Sister Tingting."

How come this damn girl is so good at catching people's weak spots? !

Aunt Gu was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she always held the words back.

Finally, she reached into her pocket and touched the big knot that was not yet warm. She looked at the easy-going Li Taohong with some hope: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely say good things to our Xiao Wei later. How about this money...?"

Lin Jiaojiao frowned: "Don't bother my aunt. Also, I don't need you to introduce me!"

Aunt Gu took out 10 yuan from her pocket while cursing, and slapped the little girl's tender white palm with a painful look on her face. Then she said bitterly: "I think what Qian Zhiqing said is true. You just like Lu Hong!" Otherwise, how could she help so much?

Lin Jiaojiao stuffed the money into her pocket, intending to return it to Qian Rongrong sometime. Hearing this, she curled her almond-shaped eyes and said in a gentle tone, "What's wrong with liking her? It's none of your business."

Aunt Gu...[○｀Д○]

Li Taohong...╰(*°▽°*)╯

And Lu Hong, who had been standing silently like a guard, felt his heart skip a beat.

Then, he looked at the boasting girl in disbelief...
