Chapter 191 Encouraging the older brother to go out and work
His parents were so angry they wanted to beat him up. Of all things to insult, he had to insult their little piece of land.
Lin Ping hurriedly hid behind Lin Yuyao and said, "Sister, you're making money by providing spiritual nourishment to others now. Tell Mom and Dad, is it them who make money by growing grain, or your spiritual nourishment?"
Lin Yuyao rolled her eyes at him. "Don't talk nonsense. We'll talk about the future later."
She knew farmers all too well at this time; compared to the old days of earning work points, getting land in hand was much sweeter.
He's only been farming for about ten years, and if you suddenly tell him to stop, he definitely won't be able to accept it.
Anyway, they're not young anymore. Let them farm for a few more years until they get too old to farm.
Furthermore, with the rapid development of the outside world in a few years, it will be easier to take them away.
What they had to do was encourage their older brother and sister-in-law to go out and find work.
If the three of them go to the south of the city in the future, why would they worry that their parents wouldn't come along?
If you say that now, they're bound to beat you up.
"Hey, I'm here to help you. Do you still want to be with Senior Fu? You've betrayed us!" Lin Ping was furious.
Everyone: "..."
"Yuyao, Lin Pingzhen introduced you to a senior classmate who's dating you?"
Lin Yuyao was speechless. "It's not even close to being settled yet, don't talk nonsense."
"You think I'm talking nonsense? Don't think I didn't see it. You're all using the same electric blanket. How am I talking nonsense?"
"Huh?" Ye Lian and Lin Dawei were quite startled.
"Yuyao, don't do anything reckless! You're not married yet, how can you sleep together?"
Lin Yuyao was absolutely furious with Lin Ping.
"Mom, don't listen to Lin Ping's nonsense. I'm just using the same model of electric blanket as him. He got a buy-one-get-one-free deal, so it's the same as these two."
Ye Lian's expression changed, and she glared at Lin Ping: "Is it the same electric blanket, or the same model of electric blanket?"
Lin Ping slapped his mouth, "Look at my loose tongue, I misspoke, it's the same model of electric blanket."
Lin Dawei tapped him on the head with his pipe, "Kid, you almost ruined your sister's reputation. Luckily, no outsiders were around."
"Oh my, you two are so innocent, one lives upstairs and the other downstairs."
Their emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred up again.
"What? Yuyao, you two are living together?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
Having such a younger brother is truly a blessing for her.
“Dad, Mom, that’s an apartment building. It’s five stories high. I live on the fifth floor, and Brother Fu lives on the fourth floor, so we live one upstairs and one downstairs.”
Their hearts, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"You brat, why didn't you explain yourself clearly?"
“I’m telling the truth. How would I know you’re just making things up?”
They thought it was one of those small buildings, one upstairs and one downstairs.
"By the way, Yuyao, is Lu Jiangting bothering you again?"
Uh……
“I heard from his parents that you two are getting married next year, and I got so angry that I had a fight with them.”
Lin Yuyao said, "He did try to bother me before, but he won't anymore. I won't marry him, but he is indeed getting married after the New Year."
"Huh? Who did he marry?"
"With Fang Qing."
"What? Marry Fang Qing?"
"Yes, the process is already underway, and we'll probably get married after the new year."
"This..." They all found it unbelievable.
"Fang Qing is a widow, not very educated, and has a son to raise. Lu Jiangting is proud and arrogant, how could he possibly be interested in her?"
"He didn't think much of them, but his boss thought they were a good match."
"..."
"Does the boss think he's a good match? Is the boss Fang Qing's father? He's such a jerk, and you still say he's a good match?"
Lin Yuyao shook her head and said, "That's not it. The city is more open-minded than the countryside, and it's not that people are so opposed to second marriages. Besides, Fang Qing's family is poor; her ancestors for three generations were lower-middle-class farmers, and she herself is a martyr's widow."
In the eyes of their superiors, she was a good person. Besides, Lu Jiangting was good to Fang Qing's son, which the superiors found rare, and for the sake of the child, they had to try and bring them together.
It makes some sense, but they don't understand it; however, I show my respect.
This is good. As long as they don't harm their own daughter, it's good for everyone if the two of them stay together.
"Pah! If that's the case, then why are Lu Jiangting's parents spreading rumors that you two have reconciled and will get married next year?"
Lin Yuyao's face darkened. "They're trying to tarnish my reputation. Father, Mother, I'll spread the word tomorrow that Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing are getting married after the New Year, so they won't drag me into this again."
Ye Lian laughed and said, "Do you need to spread the word? I'll go. I guarantee that the news of Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing's upcoming marriage will be known throughout the surrounding villages in less than half a day."
She still trusted her mother's ability to spread gossip.
After exchanging pleasantries with her parents, Lin Yuyao remembered that she needed to call Fu Huaiyi to let him know she was safe.
She took some change and a handful of milk candies to the brigade leader's house, paid the phone bill, and gave the milk candies to the brigade leader's grandson.
The captain chuckled and asked with a smile, "Yuyao, are you making money working outside?"
"I made a little money, not much."
"Oh, so what do you do? I heard from your parents that you sell books?"
"Yes, I work at a bookstore."
"That's great. How much is it per month?"
"Ninety yuan."
"Wow, ninety yuan? That much?"
"Yes, wages are higher in big cities, but the cost of living is also high. After deducting living expenses, there isn't much left."
"Oh, that's true. Traveling far away can make money, but it's also hard work, and you can only come back once a year."
"Yes."
When the call connected, Fu Huaiyi answered.
Hearing his voice, Lin Yuyao was full of surprise, "It's me."
Fu Huaiyi smiled on the other end of the line, "Finally, I got your call."
Lin Yuyao felt a mix of emotions. "You're not going to stay glued to the phone the whole time, are you?"
"No, it's noon. I only got to the phone after I got off work."
Have you eaten yet?
"I haven't eaten yet, but I asked Ashuo to get me some food. He should be back soon. What about you? Have you eaten?"
"It'll be ready soon, my mother is making it now."
"So you took some time to call me?"
"Yes, I promised to call you when I got home to let you know I arrived safely."
He was quite happy that she took his words to heart.
"Was the journey smooth?"
"pretty good."
"There are so many people, are you free tonight?"
"It's okay, there were a lot of people at the beginning, but as people got off, there were fewer people."
The two chatted for a long time until they heard Yi Yunshuo calling him to eat, at which point Lin Yuyao said she had to hang up.
She came out of the room on the other end of the phone, and the captain outside asked, "Yuyao, who were you calling? Why are you speaking Mandarin?"
Lin Yuyao explained, "A colleague from out of town."
Afraid of being asked too many questions, she didn't dare to delay after finishing her story and hurriedly went home.
When I got home, the meal was almost ready.
