CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 72: YOUR WIFE REALLY TREATS YOU WELL

He took a deep breath: "Alright, stop crying. Your family wants to have eight tables in the cafeteria, I can agree, but there are some things I need to make clear to you in advance. Part of that two hundred yuan is borrowed from others, and hosting in the cafeteria will definitely cost money. This money needs to be paid back.

Additionally, I have to send ten yuan to my hometown every month as filial money. As long as you’re not afraid of a tough life with me, then go back and tell your mom that I agree.

Tomorrow, bring the household registration booklet and we’ll get the marriage certificate first, and the day after, we’ll host in the cafeteria."

Lyu Juncheng is a man who knows the times. He knows he has no other choice now, only by marrying Yao Hui can he quickly quell the previous events.

By then, once they’re married, others wouldn’t keep brooding over it.

What he wants to do most now is to drive Yu Xinyan away. Only when she’s gone can others completely forget about him and Yao Hui.

When Yu Xinyan returned to the ward, the bed that Uncle Zhang was on already had someone else staying there.

He Jinxuan had been watching the door for quite some time, and when he saw Yu Xinyan come in, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. Because he was receiving fluids through his arm, sitting up was a bit difficult.

Yu Xinyan saw this and quickly put down the basket to give a hand.

The new male patient in the neighboring bed chuckled and joked: "Your wife is really good to you."

With this one sentence, not only were Yu Xinyan and He Jinxuan awkward, but the other patients and their families also laughed out loud.

He Jinxuan lightly coughed and explained: "Big Brother, you shouldn’t say that carelessly."

Seeing the expressions in the ward, the Big Brother realized he might have said something wrong and laughed, saying: "Sorry, I thought you both looked like a couple, that’s my mouth for you."

In the villages not far from the Mechanical Factory, villagers come here for treatment when ill, and this Big Brother is from Li Family Village not far away, having been kicked by a team mule this morning.

This man’s ancestors were fortune-tellers, and he had learned a bit himself, but these days, it’s not trendy, so he didn’t dare to openly say it.

Yu Xinyan felt a bit embarrassed, but since the person didn’t know the situation, the misunderstanding was understandable. She realized she needed to stay cautious, as this era wasn’t as open as the future, and she didn’t want to cause trouble.

Seeing He Jinxuan had settled in, Yu Xinyan opened the lunchbox: "Eat quickly, before the noodles turn soggy."

When He Jinxuan saw the food that was brought, he looked up and asked: "Where did the fish come from?"

Yu Xinyan calmly explained: "I went to the market this morning, and on the way back, I saw someone fishing by the Yuquan River. In the morning, didn’t the doctor say you needed better nutrition? So I traded for two."

Though it’s not as strict as a few years ago, Yu Xinyan still instinctively said ’trade’, afraid of causing trouble.

He Jinxuan naturally understood her intention: "Thank you for the trouble."

Yu Xinyan didn’t continue the conversation, just said: "You eat first, I’ll have Sili come by later to pick up the lunchbox."

She wasn’t confident about delivering the food, but retrieving an empty lunchbox was doable.

Not long after leaving the hospital, she overheard two people chatting by the roadside: "What a pity, is the marriage really off?"

"The female intellectual is about to leave with her parents to return to the city, of course it’s true."

"Oh dear, what a scene, the dowry was already prepared, we saw it before, it was all good stuff."

"By the way, when I came over, those female intellectual’s parents said the things in the house are being sold cheaply, clearly not short of money."
