Li Xiyue felt that he had said enough and needed to give him some time to digest and absorb the ideas, so she got up and left the room.
Xu Xiangyang, who had been guarding the courtyard, saw her come out with a calm expression, and his heart settled down. He walked up to her and said, "I'll take you home."
"No need." Li Xiyue shook her head and refused.
Gao Xiulan walked over and said, "Let me take Li Zhiqing home."
After the two left, Xu Xiangyang entered the east wing, "Uncle."
He didn't know why his uncle asked Li Xiyue to come over, but seeing that his uncle's face didn't look too abnormal, he was completely relieved.
"Xiangyang." Xu Jianmin had been looking out the window, a longing look on his face. "It's been a long time since I breathed the fresh air outside. Can you carry me to the yard and sit for a while?"
Xu Xiangyang was extremely surprised. "Okay, uncle, I'll carry you out right away."
He didn't expect that his uncle was willing to go out after meeting Li Xiyue.
It has been three years since my uncle broke his leg. He has not left the house and locks himself in the house every day. He doesn't want to see anyone except him and Sister Xiulan.
He didn't know what was said between Li Xiyue and his uncle, but at this moment, he was extremely grateful to Li Xiyue.
"Li Zhiqing is back?"
"Have you finished your work at the Red Flag Production Team?"
On the way back, the villagers met Li Xiyue and they all greeted her enthusiastically. Li Xiyue replied one by one: "Just got back and finished my work. Thank you uncles and aunts for your concern."
"Isn't that the girl from the Gao family? How did she get together with Li Zhiqing?"
"Who knows? The Gao family girl is really shameless. For so many years, she has been staying in Jianmin's house without any status. If my daughter is like her, I will definitely break her legs."
"It was Jianmin who proposed to break off the engagement and marry the young intellectual from the city. The Gao family was humiliated. But when Jianmin got into trouble, the Gao family girl rushed to take care of him. Speaking of which, this girl is quite loyal."
"What's the point of being so loyal? This is embarrassing."
"Yes, he has completely disgraced our women, but the Gao family can tolerate it. If such a fool appeared in my family, we would definitely cut off all ties with him."
"Stop talking. Be careful that the captain finds out that we're gossiping about Jianmin's family, or we'll have our work points deducted."
The villagers were very enthusiastic towards Li Xiyue, but their eyes towards Gao Xiulan were not friendly, and some of them even whispered about her behind her back.
Li Xiyue has good hearing and heard it.
The villagers were not wrong. When Xu Jianmin broke off his engagement with Gao Xiulan and wanted to marry Lin Rou, Gao Xiulan undoubtedly became the laughing stock of everyone.
Later, Xu Jianmin became a disabled person, but Gao Xiulan did not hold a grudge against him and stayed in the Xu family to take care of Xu Jianmin without any status, and she stayed there for several years.
Very few people can do this. Gao Xiulan's determination and tolerance are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
only……
Li Xiyue asked: "Is it worth it?"
Gao Xiulan smiled and replied, "It's worth it."
Li Xiyue looked at her profile. She seemed to be surrounded by a circle of light, which made her stand out from the surroundings.
People in this era value reputation and face, girls even more so. There are few people like her who are so determined in their inner thoughts and do not care about the outside world's views.
Li Xiyue couldn't help but admire her.
"You have no idea how good he is." Gao Xiulan had a gentle smile on her face. "He is well-educated, kind-hearted, and treats people well, especially his family. There is really nothing to complain about him. If it weren't for Lin Rou's calculations, we would have been married a long time ago, and maybe our children would be able to go out and have soy sauce now..."
Li Xiyue nodded. Indeed, if it weren’t for Lin Rou, they would have gotten married and had children.
"In my heart, he has long been my man. I know his good qualities, understand his difficulties, and even more so, understand his pain."
"Before, I couldn't marry him, which became a lifelong regret for me. But then God gave me another chance. How could I let it go?"
"No matter what he becomes, I will never leave him again."
Hearing this, Li Xiyue couldn't help but ask, "Even if we live like this for the rest of our lives?"
"Even if I live like this for the rest of my life, I will have no regrets." Gao Xiulan said with determination.
Li Xiyue sighed inwardly, what a love-brained person.
To put it nicely, Gao Xiulan is infatuated; to put it bluntly, she is a complete love-brained person.
Although Xu Jianmin was plotted against, he gave up on her after weighing the pros and cons, making her a laughing stock and truly hurting her.
If it were a normal person, they would probably just resent Xu Jianmin. If they were a bit more aggressive, they would turn around and marry someone better and live a good life.
When Xu Jianmin got into trouble, it was good enough that he didn't gloat over his misfortune. How could he be like her, put aside the past grudges, and live in his house to take care of him at all costs?
But life is your own. Gao Xiulan chose this path. Although Li Xiyue does not agree with it, she respects it.
"Li Zhiqing, do you really not like Xiangyang?" Gao Xiulan asked hesitantly when they arrived at the door of the Zhiqing point.
Li Xiyue said: "Comrade Xiangyang and I are just ordinary comrades."
She couldn't say whether she liked Xu Xiangyang or not, they were just ordinary friends.
He had helped her before, and she was grateful. If he needed any help, she would help him.
That's all.
Gao Xiulan was slightly disappointed, but still said with a smile: "He is just unlucky."
After everyone left, Li Xiyue entered the yard and smelled the fragrance of food. She walked into the kitchen and saw three people busy.
Seeing her come back, they all looked over and smiled.
"Yueyue, you're back. Wash your hands and have dinner." Huang Xinrui said with a smile as she brought the prepared dishes to the table.
Wang Jiaxing was also helping, "Li Zhiqing, I made roast chicken with potatoes today. It smells so good."
