Chapter 253 (read)
Relationships are a very complicated matter.
Bystanders can see a lot, but it's best not to interfere.
After Cheng Xia returned to the village, her family must have discussed marriage with her long ago, and Cheng Xia naturally told them her thoughts.
At first, Cheng Xia's third aunt, Ye Fang, was talking to the village matchmaker.
However, in the past few days, Lu Yuanqing has not seen such a scene again.
Even things that I used to feel a bit anxious about have become much calmer in the last few days.
So, although Lu Yuanqing didn't know what Lu Mingdong said to Cheng Xia, it seemed to have some effect.
Cheng Xia wasn't entirely indifferent to Lu Mingdong.
Lu Yuanqing smiled and said nothing more, but he also felt that Lu Mingdong had some hope.
The thing that worries him most right now is Lu Yuanbo.
Because of what he said that day, Lu Yuanbo was clearly in a state of high energy.
Lately, he's been going to the cowshed more often and paying less attention to anything else.
The most obvious thing is that villagers have seen him and Xie Qianyu together several times.
Opinions on this matter vary.
I often don't see anyone at home.
Having finally caught Lu Yuanbo at home, Lu Yuanqing immediately stopped him from rushing out.
"What's wrong? You haven't seemed to want to be home lately. How are things going? Any good news for our family this year?" Lu Yuanqing teased.
Lu Yuanbo: "...Brother, am I being too annoying?"
"Huh?" Lu Yuanqing was completely confused by his statement. "Why do you say that?"
"Won't it get annoying if I keep going to see Xie Qianyu every day?"
Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow: "Xie Qianyu said that about you?"
"Of course not!" Lu Yuanbo was afraid that he had wronged Xie Qianyu, so he quickly explained, "It wasn't her. How could she say such a thing? It was Gu Hewang that I ran into when I went out this morning!"
Lu Yuanqing rolled his eyes. He understood!
Why do you care about him?
A dog can't expect anything good to come out of its mouth.
Lu Yuanqing had no idea whether the Lu family and the Gu family were incompatible.
Although it seems that the ancestral graves of the two families are adjacent, that can't be the reason for the problem!
Lu Yuanbo: "It's not that... I was worried!"
Lu Yuanqing shook his head. "Instead of worrying about other people here, you might as well go and ask Xie Qianyu directly."
Lu Yuanqing was fairly familiar with Xie Qianyu.
Although the Lu family has helped the Xie family, according to the logic of repaying kindness, the other party may not refuse Lu Yuanbo.
However, Xie Qianyu is not the type of person who would make an unwilling decision out of gratitude.
If she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it.
Even if they wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, they would be willing to give their lives to do so.
Lu Yuanbo: "Perfect, I'll make things clear to her today! It's nothing, brother, you know, even if she doesn't agree, I won't have any objections, after all, I didn't even intend to let her know in the first place!"
Lu Yuanqing smiled.
Lu Yuanbo is sincere. He is willing to give everything for people he likes and approves of, even without asking for anything in return.
This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yuanqing is at ease with him.
Even if Xie Qianyu rejects him, there's no need to worry that he'll act like he's going to die because of the rejection.
Perhaps this is what happens when expectations are low—oh no, when there are no expectations, there is no disappointment.
Lu Yuanbo is a man of action.
After chatting with Lu Yuanqing for a few minutes, he left home.
The purpose, of course, is to find Xie Qianyu.
Lu Yuanbo had been interested in Xie Qianyu for a long time, so he wasn't just aimlessly searching for her in the village.
According to her usual habits, Xie Qianyu would definitely be gathering firewood at this time.
The cowshed now houses three people, two of whom are quite old.
Xie Long, in particular, is the oldest and had never done such hard work before his downfall. Even if Xie Qianyu were willing to let him go down the mountain to collect firewood and carry a basket of firewood back to the village, she would not agree.
Therefore, Xie Qianyu and Ren Pingsheng were responsible for providing the firewood they needed at the beginning.
But after Ren Pingsheng was also beaten up, Xie Qianyu took all the blame upon herself.
She was responsible for providing firewood for three people, and she had to collect two baskets of it every day.
It would have been possible to put more in one basket.
But she wasn't strong enough to carry too much stuff, so she had to make another trip.
Knowing the destination, Lu Yuanbo didn't need to search and found the person directly.
When Xie Qianyu saw the person, she was still busy gathering firewood.
The basket was stuffed full, and a small bundle of collected firewood was tied to the top of the basket and placed horizontally on top of it.
Upon seeing the person, Lu Yuanbo immediately ran a few steps forward to help.
Xie Qianyu paused in her wood-gathering, lowered her eyes, and continued.
These past few days, Lu Yuanbo has been helping her with chores, and he's no longer hiding it from her.
He had laid out his thoughts frankly before Xie Qianyu, and even more so before the entire village.
Everyone was clear about his purpose.
Although some people have strong opinions about Xie Long's situation.
However, Lu Yuanqing didn't allow such opinions to circulate in the village for long.
After learning of Lu Yuanbo's feelings, he would intentionally or unintentionally mention Xie Qianyu in the village from time to time.
Xie Long was one of those sent to the countryside, but Xie Qianyu was not.
She was just a good granddaughter who was worried about her grandfather and went to the countryside with him.
There was a subtle, pervasive propaganda.
Although people weren't particularly enthusiastic about Xie Qianyu, they didn't have any major complaints either.
People would say that Lu Yuanbo was out of his mind and looked down on everyone else, but he actually took a fancy to his granddaughter who had connections to the countryside.
It has also attracted a lot of discussion.
But it was just idle chatter, nothing more.
The two of them always worked faster. Moreover, Lu Yuanbo had done countless farm chores like gathering firewood since he was a child, so he was even faster at it.
Before long, Lu Yuanbo had a basket of firewood on his back.
Xie Qianyu withdrew her outstretched hand.
She became increasingly silent when facing Lu Yuanbo.
Lu Yuanbo was usually silent in her presence, and for a moment, neither of them spoke.
One carried a large load of firewood on his back, walking forward with his head down, while the other followed behind, finally able to openly stare at the other's back.
"Don't look at me, or I'll lose my footing and fall down the mountain."
The sudden words made Xie Qianyu blush, and she quickly turned her head away.
I wasn't looking at you!
Lu Yuanbo: "..."
He saw it! He really saw it; his intuition couldn't be wrong. He just felt someone watching him from behind.
The back of his head is still a little hot!
But Xie Qianyu said she didn't watch it, so she didn't watch it!
