Chapter 8
Lu Che was assigned to carry sugarcane today. Although this job was hard and tiring, he was already satisfied to be able to work.
After being busy in the sugarcane fields all morning, the shoulders of his clothes were badly worn out, so he planned to bring a torn towel in the afternoon to pad his shoulders, but he forgot about it in his hurry to go out.
He remembered this when he was halfway there, so he hurried home. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his grandmother hugging a woman.
The woman had her back to him, but he knew who she was just from her back.
Before he could figure out what was going on, his grandmother announced to him that the woman was going to live in their house.
Lu Che was confused, and his first reaction after he came to his senses was to raise objections, but then Lu Qing gave him a look, signaling him to be patient.
"Mom, mom..." Two childish voices, a boy and a girl, came from outside the door. Lu Qing took the opportunity to say to Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao, my two little ones are in the backyard. Can you please help me check on them? We will all live together in the future, so go get to know them first."
Jiang Yao could see that Lu Che was full of resistance to her staying with him, and she also knew that the three of them would have to hold a family meeting on this matter, so she stood up tactfully and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go meet my friends."
Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Yao's brisk back and couldn't help but praise her: "She looks so weak, but I didn't expect that she could still remain optimistic after encountering so many things. Not bad, not bad."
In Lu Che's memory, the old lady was always cold and indifferent to outsiders except her family. This was the first time she saw light in an outsider's eyes, and even gave her such a high evaluation.
He secretly said in his heart that it was not good. When Jiang Yao turned into the backyard, he couldn't wait to speak, "Grandma, I don't agree with her living in our house."
"Why don't you agree?" the old lady asked slowly.
"Of course it's to avoid trouble." Lu Che said as a matter of course: "Grandma, you stay at home all day, don't you know that this educated youth Jiang has been in the countryside for a short time, but she is a celebrity in our team. It will not be good for our family to have a relationship with her."
"Lu Che, what are you worried about? Grandma and I know it." Before the old lady could say anything, Lu Qing spoke first, "I was also worried about what you are worried about, but what you don't know is that everyone in the team is whispering nonsense now."
"What nonsense?" Lu Che's face darkened.
"That's right..." Those words were too harsh to hear. Lu Qing hesitated for a moment before saying, "Today, several women working at the paper mill said they heard a few scoundrels in the team say that they would go to the house where Jiang Yao stayed to watch her... take a bath."
"Asshole!" The old lady stomped her cane in anger.
Lu Che didn't say anything, but his face was as dark as Bao Gong's.
"Who said it wasn't true!" Lu Qing sighed softly, "In the whole Qingyuan, except for our house which has a high wall, a half-grown child can easily climb over the walls of other houses. If we don't take her in, she will be spied on by scoundrels. If we don't catch them, she will suffer. If we do catch them, she will inevitably be pointed out."
This society is always particularly harsh on women. When men make mistakes, they always blame it on women, saying that they are flirtatious/seductive.
"Also, I often hear those gossipy women talking bad about Yaoyao when I'm at the paper mill. Whenever a man talks to her, if the man has a wife, his wife will scold Yaoyao, and if the man is still single, his mother will scold Yaoyao. Those words are so nasty that they can't be heard."
"It was obviously those men who took the initiative, but in the end it all became Yaoyao's fault. Being pretty is a good thing, but it's definitely not the case here. I was almost bullied before, so now I really can't watch her jump into the fire pit without helping her."
At the end, Lu Qing couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, for himself and for Jiang Yao.
Lu Che looked at his sister, and suddenly he couldn't say anything because he had so much objection in his mind.
Jiang Yao knew that Lu Che was not easy to deal with, but she had confidence in the old lady and Lu Qing. Since they both agreed to let her stay, they would definitely find a way to let her move in.
At this moment, she was having fun with Lu Qing's twins Zhou Yang and Zhou Xin.
Zhou Yang and Zhou Xin are twins, a boy and a girl. Today they are five years old. Zhou Yang is the older brother and Zhou Xin is the younger sister.
The younger sister looks like Lu Qing, a beauty. Zhou Yang probably looks like his father, also a handsome boy.
"Sister Yaoyao, is chocolate really that delicious? Is it even better than sugar?" The brother and sister surrounded Jiang Yao with a look of anticipation and anger on their faces.
"Of course, next time I have a chance, I will buy some for you to try. I'm sure you will like it." Jiang Yao said, touching their heads.
"That's great, thank you Sister Yaoyao!" The brother and sister jumped for joy.
"Thank you, Sister Yaoyao, for what? You guys didn't ask for anything from Sister Yaoyao, did you?"
Lu Qing's voice came from behind. Jiang Yao immediately stood up and turned around, and then heard her say, "I will go with you to the captain's house to register your stay."
"Okay!" Jiang Yao grinned. She didn't ask Lu Che why he agreed. As long as the result was what she wanted, she wouldn't worry about it. The important thing was to move in quickly.
Lu Qing asked the brother and sister to go find the old lady, and then went out with Jiang Yao.
Among this group of educated youth, Jiang Yao was the one that gave Lu Dazhou the most headaches. She was a bit arrogant, so he would probably have to make arrangements for her in the end. Such a beautiful educated youth would be unsafe no matter where he put her.
Therefore, Lu Dazhou never expected that Jiang Yao would be the first to find the "next buyer", but this "next buyer" was even worse than not finding him.
In front of Lu Qing, Lu Dazhou couldn't say anything, so he could only find an excuse to let her go find his mother.
When only Lu Dazhou and Jiang Yao were left in the hall, he said impatiently, "Jiang Yao, how can you live in Lu Che's house? Don't you know what their family background is?"
"Why can't I live with them?" Jiang Yao said, "They come from a bad family, but aren't they actively trying to reform themselves? Most of the members in the team now dislike us educated youth, but they let me stay with them, which shows that they are progressive in their thinking. They have alleviated the urgent needs of the production team, and you should praise them and thank them, captain."
"..." Jiang Yao's words were so flawless that Lu Dazhou couldn't even interrupt her. He could only change his angle and ask, "Who is Lu Che? Haven't you heard of him?"
"There are many different opinions about Lu Che among the members, and it's hard for me to judge which one is true and which one is false. But as the saying goes, 'Hearing is believing, seeing is believing'. I haven't been in the countryside for a long time, but every time I see him, he is working hard. Just like the rush to harvest before, he was the first to come and the last to leave, unlike some strong young men who like to be lazy. Any woman can beat them. Also, he was the one who repaired the tractor a few days ago. I heard from the members of the team that he also fixed the things when the production team replaced them."
Lu Dazhou listened and was speechless again.
In fact, these words were all made up by Jiang Yao. In the original owner's memory, there was no Lu Che at that time. However, he would become a big boss in the business world in the future, so he must be a flexible and hardworking person.
Sure enough, she guessed right.
"That's right." Lu Dazhou didn't beat around the bush. "Their family background is not good. If you live in their house, aren't you afraid that your file will look bad in the future? This file is related to whether you can be recruited back to the city or recommended to go to university in the future."
"Also, Lu Che is an unmarried young man, and his father was once a hooligan. If you move into his house, aren't you afraid of some bad rumors spreading?"
Lu Dazhou's words were unpleasant to hear, but Jiang Yao could tell that he was really thinking about her. She said playfully, "Isn't my file written by you, Captain? As long as you write it well, it won't look bad. As for your second question, as long as the gossipers have bad intentions, as long as there are men in that family, whether they are married or not, there will be ugly rumors."
"..." Lu Dazhou couldn't utter a word.
After leaving Lu Dazhou's house, Lu Qing was going to work. She said to Jiang Yao, "Pack your things first. When you are ready, I will ask Lu Che to move your luggage for you."
Since Jiang Yao moved into their house, gossip was inevitable. Instead of being sneaky, it would be better to be open and honest from the beginning.
"Okay, I'll pack it up when I get home. Ask Lu Che to come over tomorrow morning to help me move it. It doesn't matter how early, as long as it doesn't delay him from going to work." Jiang Yao said.
"Okay, then go back and be careful."
When Jiang Yao returned to the educated youth point, Zhu Xia was the only one there.
When Zhu Xia saw her, she said excitedly, "Yaoyao, I found a place to stay. Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian agreed to take me in."
"That's great." Jiang Yao said with a smile, "The Tian family isn't a complicated bunch, and the uncle and aunt are kind-hearted."
"Yes, I'm really lucky this time." Zhu Xia pulled Jiang Yao and said, "When you look for someone to take you in, remember to keep your eyes open. Choose someone with a good family background, a small family, and preferably no unmarried young men. You know you're pretty..." After talking for a long time, Zhu Xia realized that Jiang Yao had also gone out, and asked, "Have you found someone to take you in?"
"I looked for it, and I found it."
"……who?"
"Lu Che's house."
"..." Zhu Xia was incredulous. After she came to her senses, she said excitedly, "How did you find his house? Aren't you looking for it the opposite of what I said?"
"No, there aren't many people in his family."
“…”
No matter how hard Zhu Xia tried to persuade her, Jiang Yao was determined to live in Lu Che's house.
During dinner, everyone expressed their concerns after knowing where Jiang Yao was going, and either explicitly or implicitly told her not to go. Of course, this did not include Du Yuejiao, who was simply optimistic about the outcome. If she were the only one there, she would have laughed out loud.
After taking a shower in the evening, Jiang Yao put away the bowls, cups and other things, and then went to bed.
Have a good sleep and welcome a beautiful tomorrow.
The next day, Jiang Yao got up early. After she changed her clothes and washed up, Lu Qing and Lu Che came with a ox cart.
Lu Qing was as enthusiastic as ever towards Jiang Yao. Although Lu Che had a cold face, he worked very hard and moved her boxes and bags out.
Jiang Yao couldn't bear to watch him do it, so when she was about to move the things, Lu Qing stopped her. She took out a sweet potato and said, "It's so early in the morning, you must not have had breakfast, eat quickly, and let Lu Che move the things."
Not only did they help with the moving, but they also provided breakfast. This treatment was too good. Those who had said bad things about the Lu family last night suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Thank you, Sister Qing." Jiang Yao didn't hesitate to take the sweet potato and started peeling it.
But before she could take a bite, an uninvited guest arrived.
Zhao Pengfei had just heard that Jiang Yao was going to live at Lu Che's house. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast and rushed to the educated youth site.
Before he reached the entrance of the educated youth center, he saw a man carrying things out from afar.
Zhao Pengfei walked over quickly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Che's arm, gritting his teeth and said, "You are not allowed to move. Yaoyao will not live in your house."
"Let go." Lu Che glanced at Zhao Pengfei coldly and said, "Who are you? Are you qualified to take care of her business?"
The author has something to say:
Xiaomi: You are not related to Yaoyao, isn’t this too arrogant?
Lu Che: The Chairman said that we should despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
Xiaomi: ...Then...what is your strategy?
Lu Che: It depends on how my biological mother writes it.
Xiaomi: ...
I am asking for a collection and nutrient solution. Little fairies, come and feed the honey!
