It was dark just now, and everyone's vision couldn't compare to that of Ke Meiyu, Qin Yuanjiu, Tao Yuxiang, and the Ke family brothers who were being fed by their sisters; they could only see the people around them.
Therefore, they did not discover Ke Meiyu hiding behind the crowd.
"Who are you?" Zuo Yihan asked, puffing out her chest and sounding somewhat angry.
She finally found a man she liked, but then a freak appeared out of nowhere!
Even though the newcomer was incredibly beautiful, even more so than a TV star, Zuo Yihan remained unfazed. After all, her father was the director of the county post office, and others were always the ones fawning over her.
"Whose little girl is this? How dare she run so shamelessly in front of a man?" Seeing that Madam Zuo frowned, the old woman with yellow teeth quickly stepped forward to speak up for her, shouting loudly without any attempt to conceal her voice.
People around couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and saw a couple with exceptionally good looks, which ignited their gossip.
Ke Meiyu laughed in exasperation, "Auntie, before you criticize me, could you please take a look at the good girl beside you? Since you know that Qin Yuanjiu is a capable comrade Qin who came from the capital, didn't you find out that he's already married?"
"Are city girls so desperate for men that they're even after their wives have married men from the countryside?"
Zuo Yihan's face turned red with anger. Ignoring her mother's attempts to pull her away, she said arrogantly, "I know, but so what?"
"Comrade Qin is only temporarily stranded in Luofeng Village. He's capable and comes from the capital. Do you really think he genuinely wants to marry a country girl? He's probably being forced into it by the villagers."
"Ha, what country beauty? She's just a country girl who's lucky enough to go to university. She can't hide her junior high school diploma and her earthy smell!"
In her opinion, how beautiful can a person be? There are very few people in the world like the one in front of her.
Besides her, Zuo Yihan is also quite beautiful; she's been beautiful since she was a child.
She simply couldn't believe that any man would give up such a promising future, especially a man from a big city like Kyoto, who was so ambitious. How could he possibly be willing to marry a woman from a small mountain village?
A job at the post office would be highly sought after even in Kyoto. You could say that even in the provincial capital, she could still be treated like a star thanks to her father.
What's more, she's now extending an olive branch.
Ke Meiyu pointed to her nose and then proudly tapped her cheek: "Sorry, I am the Mrs. Qin you said whose junior high school diploma can't hide her rustic smell! But let everyone judge, who smells more rustic these days?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed, after all, only a few people had come to watch the marriage proposal between the Ke and Li families, and the neighbors who came by tractor brought their families with them.
They looked at Ke Meiyu's fair and delicate face, which seemed almost radiant, and then at Zuo Yihan, whose face was chapped from the cold wind, and they could almost immediately guess the answer.
But they wouldn't contradict city dwellers, and all pretended not to see or hear anything.
Zuo Yihan raised an eyebrow smugly: "Little country girl, the least valuable thing in this world is beauty!"
"If Comrade Qin chooses you today because of your looks, he will choose an even more beautiful young girl when you are old and faded."
Ke Meiyu sneered. Impossible. The main villain in the novel is always single. It's me, the little lucky charm, who broke that rule.
"I'll say the same thing to you: if Comrade Qin chooses you today because of power, once he gets to the provincial capital and finds better support, you'll be a thing of the past!"
Qin Yuanjiu couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled her close and glared at her helplessly: "Speak properly!"
Zuo Yihan was so excited that her chin was almost level with her nose. "See? My mom just gave a little hint about who my dad is, and Comrade Qin is already on my side."
Qin Yuanjiu glanced at her coldly, then lowered his head again to pull up Ke Meiyu's collar. "I don't care how you argue with others, but don't drag me into it, and don't make any assumptions about me."
"Such a thing is impossible. In this life, in the next life, and for all eternity, I, Qin Yuanjiu, will only recognize you, Ke Meiyu, as my wife!"
Ke Meiyu looked at him, slightly stunned.
She wasn't sure how much sincerity Qin Yuanjiu had in those words, or if he was just putting on a show for everyone, but she had to admit that she was deeply moved.
He doesn't seem like someone who would say something so casually, but if he were serious, Ke Meiyu thought about how they had only known each other for two months. How much affection could there be? How could it have escalated to such a level of unwavering devotion until death?
However, this thought only flashed through her mind. She chuckled and helped Qin Yuanjiu straighten his collar, brushing the dust off his shoulders. She pinched Sang Jiao's cheekily and nodded, "Oh dear, what are you saying, Brother Jiu? So many people are listening. Let's go home, then you can say it again!"
Qin Yuanjiu's lips twitched. This crazy woman, didn't she realize her true feelings?
Zuo Yihan was furious, feeling insulted by the couple. She pointed her hand in the air and said, "Fine, fine, you're very good!"
"Comrade Qin, I'm giving you one last chance. Will you choose me or her? Think it over carefully before you speak. Otherwise, if you can't go to university, or if you study hard for two years only to find that you can't graduate, you'll have to give back all the subsidies you received before. Don't come crying to me then."
Ke Meiyu's eyes widened in surprise: "Oh, is it that serious?"
Mrs. Zuo quickly covered her daughter's mouth, forcing a smile as she said, "How could that be? This is Xinxia Hua, and Lao Zuo is just a post office director. How could he possibly influence matters at the Provincial University of Science and Technology?"
"This child is so angry that he's saying anything."
Zuo Yihan sobbed.
Madam Zuo lowered her head and gave her a look that suggested she would settle scores later.
The two must have worked together quite a bit, because Zuo Yihan quickly got the idea and completely quieted down, reverting to her previous proud, radiant, and quiet demeanor, like a haughty princess.
Ke Meiyu was also furious. How could someone who stole another woman's man be in the right?
Her eyes swept over Zuo Yihan, then stopped abruptly, her gaze filled with disbelief. She looked at Zuo Yihan's belly, then at the man beside her with pity.
Madam Zuo discreetly shielded her daughter behind her.
Since she dared to use Aunt Yellow Teeth to force a match between her daughter and Qin Yuanjiu, she must have done some research on the Ke family and heard about Ke Meiyu's public recognition of Fubao.
Even though the people of Xiahua admire science, the ignorant ideas left by their ancestors still occupy half of their lives.
Most people still believe in luck, feng shui, and fate. For example, when building a house, the main door should not face the inner rooms directly. Either add a screen wall or put a green plant to bring wealth and good fortune!
Or, for important days, they would consult the almanac in advance and choose an auspicious date...
