Chapter 88 (Minor Repair)
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this matter is a done deal and cannot be changed.
But no normal person would be able to endure such an injustice, especially Cao Guifang who was used to showing off her power in the village.
When she returned to the village, she had heard about what Jiang Yugui had done before she even got home. Of course, she didn't believe it at first, but even if she had to use a walking stick, she would go back to find Jiang Yugui and ask for clarification.
However, when she returned home with great difficulty and learned that her house had been sold by Jiang Yugui, her whole world almost collapsed.
At that moment, the eyes of everyone in the village were like sharp arrows piercing into her heart.
She was stunned for a long time. No matter how others sympathized with her or how they persuaded her, it seemed to have nothing to do with her.
Until someone said, "Since things have come to this, you might as well find an honest man to marry while you are still young and able to work. Maybe you can even have a child to take care of you in your old age."
Cao Guifang completely exploded!
"Bah! You are such a rubbish, you just want to watch the show. There is nothing good about the people in your village!"
In her opinion, how could Jiang Yugui do this if there was only one person to help him? How could he, a person who cares so much about his reputation, dare to do such a conscienceless thing? Isn't he afraid that everyone will laugh at him without restraint?
Therefore, these people certainly not only did not make fun of him or advise him, but also congratulated him on escaping from the sea of suffering and welcoming a second spring.
She has been married for so long, doesn't she know the evil thoughts of these stinky men?
They might be laughing behind Jiang Yugui's back, saying how lucky she was to have played with her second aunt and her niece.
At this moment, Cao Guifang suddenly understood why Jiang Limei insisted on sending the children to school. In such a bad environment, only a bad child like Jiang Yugui could be born. When she thought of this, she completely forgot that Fubao was brought up by her and Jiang Yugui together.
"Cao Guifang, we are trying to persuade you with good intentions, but why don't you know what is good for you? You are just an abandoned old woman, do you really think anyone would care about you?"
"That's right. I'm usually a wicked woman. How can I expect a man to be devoted to me?"
"Forget it, what does this have to do with us? Didn't you see that Jiang Limei's family has already made a clear distinction between them? If she has a conscience, would Jiang Limei, a good person, do something like breaking off relations with them?"
Cao Guifang looked hatefully at the group of people who were surrounding her and watching her make fun of her. She remembered their names one by one and cursed them. Apart from doing this, she seemed to have no better way.
Want to ask her if she regrets it?
She must regret it!
If Jiang Limei was here, would Jiang Yugui dare to do such an unreliable thing? It is definitely impossible.
And what about that bitch Cao Meimei, how many of her tricks were taught by herself?
If I had been a good wife to Jiang Yugui and not been thinking about going out for things, would there still be people who would speak up for me?
But Cao Guifang knew very well in her heart that it was useless for her to regret. There was no medicine for regret in this world. It was too late to say anything. She could only look forward.
Amid the contemptuous or suspicious gazes of the crowd, she went to the home of the village chief Qian Decai on crutches.
As soon as she saw people, she fell to her knees on the ground. Everyone was almost scared to death by her action.
The news had just gotten better, and she did this. No one could bear it!
"Village chief, you have to save me. Jiang Yugui is not a human being. How could she do this to me? How could you sell my house? It's my house. There are my things and my money in it! How can you sell it?"
Qian Decai's temples were throbbing. He was also very upset about what happened in the village, okay?
But what can he do?
"Cao Guifang, get up first. If you have anything to say, get up first. What's the point of kneeling like that?" Qian Decai looked at her unkindly, as if she was here to collect a debt.
But the tone of his voice wasn't particularly unpleasant.
"If you have anything to say, come in and talk. Everyone go away." He waved to the people outside his yard, but those people had finally come to see some excitement, so how could they be willing to leave like this? They pretended to disperse, but after taking a few steps, they could not move.
Although many people in the village still like to talk to the village chief when they encounter problems and are willing to listen to the village chief, they just know that the village chief is still an official. But everyone knows that the real power is still the team leader, and the village chief is just a figurehead.
So everyone listens to what the village chief says, but not much.
Qian Decai naturally knew everyone's temperament, but he didn't care as long as they didn't want others to hear what he said.
After Qian's wife helped Cao Guifang into the yard, Qian Decai sighed and said, "Things have already come to this. If you make a big fuss, it will only bring shame to our brigade and our commune. Then the members will not forgive you."
Hearing this, Cao Guifang's face turned extremely ugly. She looked at the village chief with a fearless look and said, "Are I just going to let it go like this? You guys are really a gang!"
"Don't yell. Don't yell right away if there's something wrong. I haven't finished what I'm saying yet." Qian Decai looked at her speechlessly. "I didn't agree when Jiang Yugui wanted to sell the house before, but this is your house and he wants to sell it to the brigade. Both sides agree. It doesn't matter whether I agree or not."
This is different from selling to private individuals. If you sell to private individuals, you can still say it’s speculation if you find evidence, but if you sell to the brigade, no charges can work.
"He sold your house for six hundred dollars. I bought it and left some for you. He gave me the face. I'm going to get the money now."
The village chief quickly handed Cao Guifang a certificate signed by Jiang Yugui and ten large reunion certificates.
"It's written in black and white. This is all he gave me. If it weren't for the fact that you're such a pitiful woman, I wouldn't have mixed up with this mess."
Finally, the village chief said a lot to Cao Guifang, and Cao Guifang roughly understood what he meant.
Now the development of the matter is beyond her control. She has no marriage certificate and is not popular in the village. The reason why those people did not stand on her side just now is because Jiang Yugui has taken care of all the connections when he came back. But what about her? She just scolded those people, it would be strange if anyone would help her.
So the village chief wanted to persuade her not to pursue anything anymore, and to find a place to live a good life, either in this brigade or back to her parents' home. In short, there was no point in pursuing anything anymore.
"If a man like Jiang Yugui dared to come to my house to look for my daughter, I would definitely sweep him out with a broom."
In the end, Cao Guifang didn't know how she walked out of the village chief's house, but she also knew that she shouldn't make trouble in the village chief's house. The village chief had been very kind to her. Apart from him, who else had helped her get benefits?
But Cao Guifang still refused to accept it. Why? She was clearly the one who was wronged. Should she just swallow her anger? She, Cao Guifang, was not that kind of person.
So the members watched her come out of the village chief's house in a daze and go straight to the team leader's house. Although the village chief had just expressed the hope that she would not make a big deal out of it, Cao Guifang also knew that the village chief could not control Jiang Yugui's affairs, and it was the team leader who could make the decisions.
Cao Guifang is not stupid, doesn't she know?
In fact, she knew it very well. Normally, when people wanted to go out to do something, they would go directly to the team leader. Only those who wanted to gossip about trivial matters would go to the village chief.
Why? Because the village chief is easy to talk to, and it's useful to make a scene in front of him, but the captain doesn't care whether you make a scene or not, he only believes in his own principles.
But Cao Guifang didn't intend to let him go this time.
After a while she arrived at the captain's house.
Everyone already knew that Cao Guifang had been causing trouble since her return, and the team leader was also worried that this shrew would find his home. Unfortunately, what was supposed to come was bound to come, and he could not stop it. However, he never expected that such a proud and arrogant person would run up to him and kneel down as soon as he was told to do so. The team leader was so scared that he ran faster than the village chief and hid aside, completely ignoring Cao Guifang's kneeling.
"What are you doing? My family has no grudge against you. Jiang Yugui was the one who committed the crime. It's no use for you to look for me."
Everyone knew that Jiang Yugui had done something unkind this time, but no one could really help Cao Guifang.
Most members take care of their own business, so why would they care about her? Even if they wanted to care about her, what could they do?
But the captain is different, he still has some power.
But it is impossible for him to help Cao Guifang now. Not to mention that he accepted favors from Jiang Yugui in the past, Jiang Yugui and Cao Meimei are already married now.
If he helped Cao Guifang, it would mean that there was something wrong with the certificate issued by their brigade. Wouldn't the marriage certificate of the two of them become a joke?
As the captain, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
He knew it very well in his heart, so when Cao Guifang asked him to kneel down, his attitude was very tough.
"Captain, I just want to ask you, why did you issue marriage certificates to those two adulterers?" Cao Guifang knelt on the ground with her homemade walking stick beside her. Her eyes were so swollen that only her eyelids were left. She really looked a bit pitiful.
The captain didn't expect that she would ask the key point, and hurriedly evaded the question, "You can't blame me for this. He was the one who wanted to issue the certificate. He said that you were divorced, but you didn't get a marriage certificate. How could I know whether you were really divorced? On the contrary, one of them was unmarried and the other was unmarried in their two files. How could I not issue the certificate to them?"
It's not a very nice thing to say, but it's not wrong at all, is it?
Since the two of them meet the rules for marriage, isn't it normal for him to issue a certificate?
But the problem is that he is a villager, and he knows the situation of the villagers very well. But he is the team leader, so what can others say?
All we can say is that Cao Guifang was unlucky.
Cao Guifang also knew that she had no other options here and could only kneel on the ground and cry bitterly.
What can she do?
Now those two are married, my son is locked up, my house has been sold, and I have no money. Will my parents-in-law let me go back?
Whenever she thought about going back and seeing someone related to Cao Meimei again, she wanted to go crazy. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and kill someone.
The words the village chief had just said came to her mind, to think more about herself in everything, and then she felt even more helpless.
Originally, she wanted to make trouble, and the captain even thought of a way to scare her. Naturally, he would use the police to scare her. There was no one in this village who was not afraid of the police comrades.
But she was crying so sadly that the captain was helpless.
What is going on?
It was quite pleasant to reap the benefits, but it is a bit difficult now.
"Cao Guifang, you get up first. Let's discuss what's going on first. Your own health is more important, don't you think?"
"I have nothing left but this useless body. Captain, what should I do? Wuwuwu..."
No one had seen her cry so sadly when Fubao was arrested. Now seeing him crying like this, everyone was silent.
They were just watching the joke before, and everyone would be happy if whoever made the couple behave like inhumane would get into trouble.
But now that they really saw that Cao Guifang was in trouble, everyone felt a little sorry for her and started to come up with ideas.
"Why don't you go back to your parents' home? You are so capable, it's not like you can't work. Even if your parents say something, they are still your blood relatives after all."
"No, if I go back to my parents' home, I will definitely be married off in exchange for a dowry. Instead of marrying off from my parents' home, it's better to find a man for myself. There are many suitable ones in our commune."
"Do you think she wants to get married right now? If you want me to go all out, go to Jiang Yugui's factory and make trouble. If he doesn't let you have an easy life, how can you let him have an easy life?"
"Yes, yes, yes. We still have to find Jiang Yugui and coax him back. What should we do without a man at home?"
"What's the point of having a man like that? You don't go looking for him to get him back, you go looking for money from him! Can't you divide the family if you divorce? How can you do that if he takes everything away?"
Everyone was silent.
Cao Guifang still had her head buried, as if she was still crying, but she was already thinking about these people's suggestions in her heart.
She will definitely not go back to her parents' home. She will just be a laughing stock in this village. What should she do if she marries a murderer like Jiang Yugui?
She had to go to the city. Since Jiang Yugui could work in the city, why couldn't she?
She had to make Jiang Yugui give her a job, otherwise she would never let them off easily, and at worst, everyone would be in trouble.
However, what she didn't know was that at this moment, Jiang Yugui and Cao Meimei, who were still in the city, were already preparing to sell their jobs.
This was of course Cao Meimei's idea.
Selling a job is not really selling a job. How can you easily give up the city hukou that you have worked so hard to get?
She has now got the person, but she knows very well that getting the person does not mean complete success.
If she guessed correctly, her second aunt would definitely come to visit.
Then she would have to make arrangements in advance.
She asked Jiang Yugui to pretend to spread the news of selling her job, and then she cried all day in the dormitory. What was she crying about? Of course, she was crying because her good days would be over in a few days.
These things happened a long time ago, but Zhao Tian still describes them vividly, which shows that the situation at that time must have been very exciting.
"You don't know, this Cao Meimei is really capable. She and Jiang Yugui put on a wonderful show."
Cao Meimei had planned everything, which was to make herself the victim of this incident.
In her script, she is just Cao Guifang's niece and has no relationship with Jiang Yugui.
She had a good reputation in their village and was well educated, so she could easily marry a nice young man of similar age, and she was already looking for one at the time.
But her beautiful life was disrupted by the sudden arrival of Cao Guifang.
Cao Guifang suddenly invited her to visit Qingyang Village.
Nowadays, everyone is very poor. Although they may not lack food, as long as they can save food, why would they not want to? So even though she didn't really want to go to her second aunt's house, she was still forcibly dragged to Qingyang Village by Cao Guifang, the favored daughter of the Cao family.
At first Cao Meimei didn't know what Cao Guifang was trying to do until a handsome-looking military officer appeared in the village. It turned out that the man was the blind date of her second uncle's sister's child. But she didn't expect that her second aunt actually wanted her to seduce the blind date of her distant sister. How could she agree to that?
Hearing Zhao Tian say this, Yu Yao wanted to applaud Cao Meimei. She had seen a lot of dramas before, but she had never seen so much drama.
"Let me guess, did she spread the news about my affair with Liu Yang, and then put all the blame on Cao Guifang, saying that Cao Guifang wanted her to seduce Gu Qing and she ended up sleeping with Jiang Yugui by accident?"
During that time, Yu Yao was very busy and had no time to communicate with her family. It was impossible for anyone to talk about so much gossip over the phone or telegram, so Yu Yao still didn’t know the follow-up of this matter. I didn’t expect it to be so exciting!
Zhao Tian opened his mouth slightly, "Ayao, you are amazing, but you only guessed half right. Not only did she drag you two into this, she also mentioned Yu Sheng."
Cao Meimei said that because her conditions were not as good as Yu Yao's, her seduction attempt naturally failed.
As a result, Cao Guifang became so deranged that she asked her to seduce Yu Yao's second brother, the sickly man in the Yu family, and even drugged her in order to make it a fait accompli between them.
"How can she be so shameless?" Yu Yao couldn't help but curse at her for speaking like that about her second brother, but then she thought that Cao Guifang at that time might really be able to do such a thing.
It is even possible that Cao Guifang had proposed this idea to Cao Meimei, which gave Cao Meimei the material to write the story.
"Then she said that she ran away desperately, but when she got home she accidentally ran into her second uncle, and found out that something that shouldn't have happened happened between the two of them?"
Zhao Tian gave Yu Yaoshu a thumbs up, her guess was so accurate.
Not only that, she also said that Cao Guifang and Jiang Yugui were already unhappy because of their son's affairs and had already verbally divorced.
"She also cried and guessed that Cao Guifang wanted to use the charge of rape to force Jiang Yugui not to divorce her."
Yu Yao couldn't help but sigh at the melodrama of this family; each one was more wicked than the other.
Zhao Tian still had a look of contempt when talking about this matter. "When the Yu family found out about her plan, they believed that it was the Jiang couple who conspired with her to do it. That's why the Yu family was so angry that they severed their relationship with the Jiang family and even Qingyang Village."
"It's said that Cao Meimei is quite smart. What she said makes sense. She has taken advantage of your family to the fullest."
Yu Yao could guess most of the subsequent story without Zhao Tian telling her.
Judging from the story Zhao Tian has told so far, Cao Meimei was already a victim. Then, she and Jiang Yugui discovered that each other was their true love during their time together. So, they used their savings to buy a job in the city and moved there smoothly.
However, when the two were about to go to the marriage proposal office, Cao Guifang was still unwilling and wanted to beat her. In order to protect her, Jiang Yugui accidentally caused Cao Guifang to break her bones.
The two of them were kind enough to send Cao Guifang to the hospital, and not only that, they also hired a nurse for Cao Guifang.
But unexpectedly, even after all this, Cao Guifang still refused to let them go.
She vowed to make sure they could not survive in Wanyuan County.
What can they do?
Even though Jiang Yugui had a formal job, he couldn't let Cao Guifang ruin his job, so Jiang Yugui had no choice but to sell the formal job he had worked so hard to get.
Everyone has heard a lot of stories, but none of them have heard of such a tortuous and bizarre story. So as soon as Cao Meimei told this story, it became a hot topic in the entire steel plant in just a few days. Not only the steel plant, but even several nearby factories knew about the sensational and embarrassing love between this uncle and niece.
"By the time Cao Guifang went to make trouble, the story had already spread. It was lucky that no one beat her up. No one would listen to her excuses. If I were Cao Guifang, I would probably have gone crazy." Zhao Tian shook his head, as if he still couldn't imagine such a scene.
By this time the food was already on the table, Yu Ping said, "Let's eat first, we'll have something to talk about when we get back."
The two of them were quiet for a while, then started chatting again.
In a way, it was Cao Guifang who brought this upon herself. After all, she did do some things, such as wanting Cao Meimei to seduce Yu Sheng, but they did not put it into practice.
As the saying goes, people's words are scary. With this story, Cao Guifang was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone in the city was shouting and beating her. She had no choice but to return to her parents' home.
But Cao Meimei took her mother's surname, which meant that her mother was married off. She was like a granddaughter in the family, so her parents would certainly choose a young grandson or a city-dwelling grandson-in-law with a job, rather than her, an old and ugly woman who had been abandoned by her husband's family and even had a son in jail.
Even though Cao Guifang was heartbroken, she had no choice but to return to Qingyang Village in shame. In the end, she took out fifty yuan and rented a shabby thatched house in the village, where she could only make ends meet.
Yu Yao had been sitting on the train for several days and now couldn't help but eat the hot food in the state-owned hotel with big mouthfuls, but she didn't forget to gossip while eating.
"And then? Don't tell me they lived happily ever after in the city."
Zhao Tian glanced at Yu Ping and smiled without saying anything.
The flirting between the two of them was not hidden from others, and Yu Yao and the others could naturally see it clearly.
"Brother, what did you do again?"
Yu Yao looked at Yu Ping with sparkling eyes, and Yu Ping couldn't bear to reject her.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and gave it to Yu Yao, saying, "It's nothing. He took my things and he should return them."
Yu Yao: "..." It's the same as if she didn't say anything, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly."
Zhao Tian chuckled twice, then leaned over to Yu Yao's ear and told her what Yu Ping had done.
It turned out that the drama was almost over, and Yu Ping brought back the Qingqing who had amazed Jiang Yugui back then.
That was the mole in Jiang Yugui's heart, but it was a pity that Qingqing suddenly disappeared and he couldn't find her no matter how hard he looked.
Now that the cinnabar mole is back, even though Jiang Yugui knows that he can no longer do anything he shouldn't do since he has already obtained a marriage certificate, men all have bad habits, and what they can't get is always the best.
So after Qingqing appeared in front of Jiang Yugui again and again, Jiang Yugui finally couldn't help but take action again.
And the show is still exciting this time.
Simply put, she was running away and he was chasing her, and she couldn't escape even if she had wings.
Yu Yao looked at Yu Ping meaningfully and couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth. This was her elder brother. How could he have so many weird ideas? It would be a pity if he didn't become a screenwriter.
Needless to say, Jiang Yugui's fate must be bad now.
Sure enough, Zhao Tian then started talking about the follow-up.
Cao Meimei had been planning for so long, had acted in so many dramas, and even her own innocence was gone. How could she let Jiang Yugui go so easily?
After discovering that Jiang Yugui had two hearts, she did go crazy, but what could she do?
She was the one who paid for him, and they got the marriage certificate, so could she get a divorce now? She definitely didn't want to, not to mention that she had already given her body and emotions, what kind of man could she find after the divorce?
So she could only stay by Jiang Yugui's side as much as possible, which made Jiang Yugui even more troubled. Who would want their partner to be suspicious?
Even if it was because of my own infidelity.
But many things in this world are always contrary to one's wishes. The more Cao Meimei wanted Jiang Yugui to treat her well as before and live a stable and prosperous life with her, the more she would find too many troubles and too many disappointments in life.
The more Jiang Yugui hoped to maintain his stable family while having an affair outside, the more impossible it was for him to achieve both.
Just when Cao Meimei found out again and again that Jiang Yugui didn't care about her at all and was obsessed with that woman outside, she completely exploded.
But she did not act impulsively. Instead, she thought of a solution that she thought was the best of both worlds.
If she can't keep this man, then she doesn't want him. She should have known that this man was not honest in the beginning. How can she expect him to become honest after living with her?
After Cao Meimei made a plan, she began to let go slowly. She pretended to believe in Jiang Yugui, but in fact she still followed him.
After she was sure that the two of them had intimate behavior every time they met, she brought a sister she knew well to catch them in the act.
"Later, Cao Meimei demanded that Jiang Yugui give her the job and divorce her, otherwise she would charge him with hooliganism and make him lose his job and go to jail." Zhao Tian became more and more excited as he spoke. As expected, no one can resist the charm of gossip.
"Jiang Yugui thought Qingqing was the eldest daughter. While he agreed to Cao Meimei, he had already planned to let Qingqing use her power to deal with Cao Meimei. As a result, the person who went with Cao Meimei directly reported Jiang Yugui. Jiang Yugui was fired, and the two of them got nothing."
Of course, Yu Ping was one of them.
What’s even more terrible is yet to come. When things have come to this point, Qingqing naturally escapes.
Jiang Yugui couldn't find a job and had lost his job, so the couple had to move back to their hometown. However, the house in the village had already been sold for 600 yuan, of which the couple received 500 yuan and they "generously" left 100 yuan to Cao Guifang. Now they have to spend 800 yuan to buy it back.
By the time they bought the house, they had almost used up all their money.
Poor couples have many sorrows.
The two of them had no money and no future, and their popularity in the village had long been ruined. One can imagine how chaotic their lives must have been.
At this moment, Qingyang Village has also entered the idle season.
It has been two years since Jiang Yugui and Cao Meimei returned to the village.
Time has already allowed both of them to see each other's ugliest side.
Everyone in the village now knows that Cao Guifang's young and beautiful niece is even more ferocious than her, but few people know that although Cao Guifang was very ferocious outside, she was the one who listened to Jiang Yugui and his son the most at home.
Now Jiang Yugui has finally realized this point. Whether working outside or doing housework at home, Cao Meimei will never suffer any loss.
So Jiang Yugui no longer has the comfortable days of returning home and just waiting to be served. Moreover, now without the support of his eldest sister's family, without a hardworking wife, and without savings, he can only work hard outside.
After dinner that day, Jiang Yugui was finally able to go out for a walk and have a chance to catch his breath.
He walked slowly in the village, and before he knew it he came to the most dilapidated thatched house in the village.
He knew this place. Originally, it was the village's cowshed. Maybe even cows couldn't live here, so it was completely abandoned. Until people with bad backgrounds came to the countryside and lived here.
Jiang Yugui had heard that Cao Guifang was living here. He couldn't imagine how someone who was so good at cleaning up as Cao Guifang could live in such a place.
When he got closer, he looked at this shabby thatched hut, which seemed to be no different from the previous ones. He couldn't tell what he felt.
Suddenly he heard a noise coming from inside, so he turned sideways and hid beside a pile of firewood. He saw Cao Guifang limping out of the house, and then dumped some inedible vegetable roots and the like beside the house, where there was a rack with dried winter melon vines on it.
Even in this winter, one can imagine the green shade and large winter melons growing on the ground in summer.
Jiang Yugui had heard a long time ago that Cao Guifang's legs were completely lame because she had not taken good care of them, and they would never heal.
He didn't believe it at first. It was obviously not a problem with his legs, so how could he become a cripple?
Jiang Yugui didn't want to think that it was all his fault, but that seemed to be the case.
But this was not the only thing he was wrong about. Whether it was towards Cao Guifang or towards his former eldest sister's family, he was wrong, completely wrong, and he could no longer make up for it.
Just when he was in a daze and was planning to wait for Cao Guifang to enter the house before slowly leaving, he suddenly saw Cao Guifang looking in his direction.
Jiang Yugui suddenly held his breath, not wanting the other party to see it.
But when he saw Cao Guifang go back to the house just like that, he felt a little melancholy. Why didn't she notice him?
What would be the other party’s reaction if they found out?
If he told her that he regretted it, would she forgive him?
And his Fubao never wanted to see him again after he came back, and he didn't see his son today.
Yu Yao didn't know what happened in Qingyang Village, and even if she knew, she would still mock Jiang Yugui.
After going through so much, does Jiang Yugui regret it?
Yu Yao felt that he should be regretful, but it was hard to say how much he regretted.
Just like his regret for Cao Guifang, does he still have feelings for Cao Guifang? Not necessarily.
But there is no doubt that he enjoyed the days when Cao Guifang helped him with everything outside and took care of the housework at home.
So rather than saying that he regretted having to deal with Cao Guifang, it would be more accurate to say that he regretted not finding another woman who could be a nanny for his family. Cao Meimei was obviously not that kind of woman.
At this time, Yu Yao had already arrived at the courtyard where Jiang Limei lived. In order to welcome them, his eldest brother's family and the grandfather had already arrived. It was not known whether it was the power of reunion or just because it was the New Year, but the atmosphere among everyone was full of joy, and Yu Yao was also happy seeing this.
"Grandpa, mom, uncle, aunt..." Yu Yao greeted everyone one by one, making the whole family smile.
After Yu Yao had been away for a few years, he became visibly more lively. Everyone could see it, so they were even more relieved.
After not seeing each other for a few years, the one who has changed the most is probably the little carrot Yu An. Now he is almost as tall as Yu Yao, and his speech and actions are a bit more mature. But in Yu Yao's eyes, he is still just a little kid who has not grown up.
"You and Gu Qing, how is your relationship these years?" Yu Yao saw Jiang Limei and Wang Lian busy in the kitchen and went in to help. Who knew that Jiang Limei would ask such a question out of the blue.
Yu Yao tried hard to think but couldn't figure out what she meant.
"It's fine." Then she asked, "Do we look bad?"
Jiang Limei looked at her deeply, which made Yu Yao even more confused.
Yu Yao originally wanted Auntie Wang to give her a hint, but Auntie Wang just kept her head down, doing her own thing, and didn't pay any attention to them.
Only then did I hear Jiang Limei say, "You have a good relationship, but you still don't have a child after all this time."
Yu Yao: “…” She had known that she would be forced to give birth after this trip, but she didn’t expect that it would start before she even had time to sit down.
"Mom, I'm still young. We plan to wait a few years before having children."
Jiang Limei looked at her with horror, "Young? You are already in your twenties, and Gu Qing will be thirty soon. You call this young? He already has several children."
Yu Yao: “…” Mom, do you have any misunderstanding about horses?
But Gu Qing is not very young now. If he follows his plan and waits until after graduation to have a child, he will be in his thirties.
But is there anything wrong with being a father in your thirties?
"What are you looking at? Are you sure you are not lying to me?" Jiang Limei looked at Yu Yao with a suspicious look, "Are there any problems with your body? Don't be afraid to see a doctor."
Yu Yao really doesn't want to talk anymore. Can her mother hope for her well?
"Mom, let me go to Beijing to study after the New Year. It will be convenient for you to take care of my second brother then."
Jiang Limei's attention was immediately attracted.
But she didn't think too long and rejected Yu Yao, "No, leave your little brother at your eldest brother's house first, I will go to look after your second sister-in-law and come back after she finishes her confinement."
"After she finishes her confinement, there's still me." Yu Yao did everything she could to achieve her goal and started to act coquettishly.
"You?" Jiang Limei said in disgust, "Hurry up, I will definitely be indispensable to take care of you during your confinement."
Yu Yao wanted to slap herself twice. Wasn't she leading the topic into a trap?
She opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Jiang Limei before she could say anything.
"Okay, okay, stop talking. It's convenient to take care of your second brother, but it's not so convenient to take care of your eldest brother."
Yu Yao closed her mouth instantly. She naturally took the cold chicken that Jiang Limei handed to her and thought about what Jiang Limei said.
Indeed, my eldest brother's family is all in Wanyuan County, and it is impossible for them to go to Beijing with me. If my mother takes my younger brother with her, then my eldest brother will be the only one left in the county.
Because I'm the eldest brother, I've been older and more sensible since I was young, so I've been neglected more.
He has been ignored many times. This time, his mother was right to stand on his side. It was Yu Yao who did not think it through.
"It's a bit bland, add a little more salt."
After that, she said, "I understand. We will definitely come back to see you often."
Traffic is catching up slowly now, and it won’t be long before private cars can travel everywhere, and then it won’t be so troublesome.
Until the evening, Yu Yao was still thinking about this matter. She seemed to have neglected her elder brother a little.
Even though her elder brother and sister-in-law were very nice to her, Yu Yao still felt a little guilty.
After learning about her troubles, Gu Qing felt that it was no big deal.
"Didn't you say that reform and opening up will begin soon? By then, the situation will definitely change. Elites like Uncle Zhao will not be buried. Even if they don't go to places like Beijing or Shanghai, they will go to a larger city."
Yu Yao thought so too. It would not be a problem for them to quit their jobs and start their own business.
Of course, she certainly didn't mean to let them all go into business.
But at that time, all kinds of communication would definitely be more convenient.
But speaking of what he had just said to Jiang Limei, Yu Yao suddenly changed the subject and said, "Or we should not use that thing."
"Ah?" Gu Qing was confused.
"I'm talking about birth control products."
Gu Qing was really confused. "Hasn't everything been arranged? I'll come back after I graduate from university."
"But I heard that men's sexual quality starts to decline after they turn 30."
Gu Qing's desire to win suddenly arose, "Are you doubting me?"
Yu Yao couldn't help laughing, "I'm not doubting you, I'm doubting what's inside your body."
What she said was not alarmist, but something she had seen on the Internet in her previous life. It was said that the best age was between 20 and 30.
Of course, it is impossible to verify whether it is really Yu Yao now, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
Gu Qing was about to speak, but then he suddenly realized that it was obviously not him who was at a disadvantage, so why should he say so much?
"Why don't we just give it a try now?"
