Li Xiyue felt she had said enough and needed time to digest and absorb the information, so she got up and left the room.
Xu Xiangyang, who had been waiting in the courtyard, saw her come out with a calm expression, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down. He stepped forward and said, "I'll take you back."
"No need," Li Xiyue shook her head and refused.
Gao Xiulan walked over and said, "I'll see Li Zhiqing off."
After the two left, Xu Xiangyang entered the east wing and said, "Uncle."
He didn't know why his uncle had called Li Xiyue over, but seeing that his uncle's expression didn't seem too unusual, he was completely relieved.
"Xiangyang." Xu Jianmin kept looking out the window with a longing look on his face. "It's been so long since I've breathed in fresh air. Carry me to the yard to sit for a while."
Xu Xiangyang was overjoyed. "Okay, Uncle, I'll carry you out right now."
He didn't expect that his uncle would be willing to go out after meeting Li Xiyue.
For three years, since his uncle broke his leg, he has not left the house. He locks himself in the house every day and does not want to see anyone except him and Sister Xiulan.
He didn't know what Li Xiyue and his uncle had talked about, but at that moment, he was extremely grateful to Li Xiyue.
"Li Zhiqing is back?"
"Have you finished dealing with things at the Red Flag Production Team?"
On her way back, she encountered villagers who greeted her warmly. Li Xiyue replied to each of them, "I just got back. I'm done with my work. Thank you for your concern, uncles and aunts."
"Isn't that Gao family girl? How did she end up with Li Zhiqing?"
"Who knows? That Gao girl is really shameless. She's been living in Jianmin's house for so many years without any status or identity. If my daughter were like her, I would definitely break her legs."
"Back then, Jianmin proposed to break off the engagement and marry a female educated youth from the city. The Gao family lost all face. Unexpectedly, when Jianmin got into trouble, the Gao family girl rushed to take care of him. Speaking of which, this girl is quite loyal and affectionate."
"What sense of loyalty? This is shameful."
"Yes, he has completely disgraced us women. It's only because the Gao family is so tolerant. If my family had such a blockhead, we would definitely sever all ties."
"Stop talking, or the brigade leader will find out we're gossiping about Jianmin's family and he'll deduct our work points."
The villagers were very welcoming to Li Xiyue, but their gazes toward Gao Xiulan were not friendly, and some even whispered among themselves behind her back.
Li Xiyue has good hearing and heard it.
The villagers weren't wrong. When Xu Jianmin broke off his engagement with Gao Xiulan to marry Lin Rou, Gao Xiulan undoubtedly became the laughingstock of everyone.
Later, Xu Jianmin became disabled, but Gao Xiulan disregarded past grievances and stayed in the Xu family to take care of him without any official status. She stayed there for several years.
Very few people can do this; Gao Xiulan's determination and magnanimity are unmatched by most people.
only……
Li Xiyue asked, "Is it worth it?"
Gao Xiulan replied with a smile, "It's worth it."
Li Xiyue looked at her profile; she seemed to be surrounded by a halo of light, standing out from her surroundings.
People in this era value reputation and face, especially girls. Few are as steadfast in their beliefs as she is, disregarding the opinions of others.
Li Xiyue couldn't help but admire her.
“You have no idea how good he is.” Gao Xiulan smiled gently. “He’s learned, kind-hearted, and treats everyone well, especially his family. They’re absolutely perfect. If it weren’t for Lin Rou’s scheming, we would have been married long ago, and maybe our child would be old enough to run errands by now…”
Li Xiyue nodded. Indeed, if it weren't for Lin Rou, they would definitely be married and have children.
“In my heart, he has long been my man. I know how good he is, I understand his difficulties, and I understand his pain.”
"Before I could marry him, it was a regret of my whole life, but then God gave me another chance, how could I let it go?"
"No matter what he becomes, I will never leave him again."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiyue couldn't help but ask, "Even if you live like this for the rest of your life?"
