Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 891: Together

"I’m afraid they’ll look down on me, afraid they’ll think I seduced you." Being a widow for so many years, of course, she knew how terrifying gossip could be, and it’s always women who get hurt.

Li Yunqiao frowned, he really hadn’t thought of this.

"Fengzhen, I’ll tell them the truth, that it was me who insisted on being with you."

Lu Fengzhen looked up at Li Yunqiao, not knowing what to say.

"You don’t need to worry, to put it bluntly, it’s still going to be the two of us in the future. Besides, I’m confident in my children; they’re all understanding people.

Don’t overthink it. You’re already mine, and I’ll definitely be responsible for you."

Lu Fengzhen was still worried but didn’t know how to refute it. If she refused, she’d be the most hurt party. But just marrying like this felt a bit begrudging.

"Fengzhen, you’ll definitely have feelings for me in the future. Don’t think too much, I’m your man."

Li Yunqiao finished off all the noodle soup, "Go change your clothes, wear something warmer, and we’ll take the car home."

Lu Fengzhen felt like a paper figure in a shadow play, being pulled along by Li Yunqiao.

Returning to the room, she saw the sheets were changed to new ones. She sat down, her heart still wavering.

Li Yunqiao tidied up the kitchen, pushed open the door, saw the bewildered woman, walked over and hugged her. "Fengzhen, if you’re not feeling well, we can go back tomorrow."

Yesterday he had indeed been too excited and impulsive, demanding too much. But at that moment, he felt like fireworks were exploding before his eyes. Afterward, he couldn’t stop.

Lu Fengzhen blushed, and at that moment, Li Yunqiao really just wanted to hold her, not wanting to go anywhere.

But Hong Lin and his wife would be back tomorrow. To be able to openly hold her to sleep, he decided to hold back now.

"Will you despise me?" Lu Fengzhen stared into Li Yunqiao’s eyes.

"How could I?" Li Yunqiao shook his head with amusement. "I would never despise you. I’m afraid you’ll dislike my age and the fact that I have kids."

Lu Fengzhen shook her head, struggling to get out of Li Yunqiao’s embrace. She opened the wardrobe and took out a coat.

Li Yunqiao also put on his coat, took two bags of milk powder, and rode his bike with Lu Fengzhen to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy four pounds of pastries and two bags of brown sugar before heading to the station.

At this time, there weren’t many people taking the bus, so Li Yunqiao paid for an extra person’s bus fare to ease communication.

The two sat together, but were very proper, as they were outside, and couldn’t afford even a slight mistake.

Lu Fengzhen dozed off, swaying on the bus, while Li Yunqiao turned his head, looking at the young and beautiful woman with dark circles under her eyes.

By the time they reached the township, it was already three in the afternoon.

"Fengzhen, let’s go straight to your home." The two villages were in different directions in the township.

Lu Fengzhen felt much better, although still uncomfortable, she was much more spirited.

Li Yunqiao took her to Jin Family Village by bike in half an hour.

Following Lu Fengzhen’s directions, they went directly to her parents’ house.

Aunt Wang was startled to see her daughter being brought back.

"Fengzhen?"

"Mom." Lu Fengzhen was a bit choked up; seeing her mother made her feel even more aggrieved.

"What’s wrong? Why are you crying?"

"It’s nothing, just seeing you makes me feel better."

"You scared me, silly girl."

Li Yunqiao felt a bit awkward on the side, calling out, "Auntie."

"Hurry in. Vice Mayor Li came all the way on a bike and is sweaty; don’t catch a cold outside."

Li Yunqiao parked the bike, carrying gifts as he followed the mother and daughter.

The Lu family lived in a large courtyard. The main house alone had nine rooms. Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Fengzhen’s sisters-in-law came out.

Seeing the younger sister come back with a man behind her, they were puzzled. Wasn’t she working as a nanny? Why was she back?

But they didn’t dare enter the old lady’s room.

The eldest sister-in-law called the other four sisters-in-law to prepare dinner together.

"Tonight we’re definitely eating at home, let’s start preparing."

The other four were displeased but didn’t dare speak up; the mother-in-law was formidable.

Aunt Wang held her daughter’s hand, leading her inside, wondering if they didn’t need her anymore and sent her back.

If so, it’s fine. Ever since her daughter left, she’d been worried; serving people wasn’t easy.

But the old lady forgot her daughter hadn’t brought back any luggage.

"Vice Mayor Li, get on the kang quickly, it’s too cold below; wait till you stop sweating, then take off your coat."

"Auntie, just call me Yunqiao.

Auntie, I brought Fengzhen back to propose. Please allow Fengzhen to marry me. I promise I’ll treat her well."

Aunt Wang was stunned, "Propose? Marry you?"

Li Yunqiao watched the old lady’s surprise. He repeated himself.

This time Aunt Wang recovered, her heart nearly leaping with excitement.

"Yunqiao, you want to marry Fengzhen?"

"Yes, I want to marry Fengzhen. I’m sincere.

Fengzhen, why don’t you go stay with your sisters-in-law for a bit? I’ll talk to Auntie alone."

Lu Fengzhen had kept her head down since entering, but at Li Yunqiao’s words, she turned and left.

"Yunqiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Auntie, last night I took advantage of Fengzhen." Li Yunqiao braced himself for a possible thrashing from the mother.

"You were together last night?"

"Yes, I had a bit to drink and made a mistake. But I’m sincere about Fengzhen. A few days ago, I had already made this decision, and before I went out drinking, I clearly explained it to Fengzhen. I want to marry her.

But the secretary came over suddenly, so we didn’t conclude our conversation."

"Yunqiao, are you sincere?"

"Of course, I’m absolutely sincere."

"Can you swear you’ll treat Fengzhen well for a lifetime?"

Li Yunqiao raised his hand and swore. Only then was Aunt Wang reassured.

"Alright, given your age, there’s no need to make a big fuss. I’m happy you came back to seek my approval. Take good care of Fengzhen; she’s simple-minded. Teach her more in the future.

And about what happened last night, don’t tell anyone else."

"Mom, I have to tell my children. I don’t want them to misunderstand Fengzhen. It was my fault; I can’t let them have a grudge against her."

"Alright, alright!" Aunt Wang was even more satisfied after hearing Li Yunqiao’s words.

Li Yunqiao took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old lady. "Mom, this is for you. We won’t have many chances to show our filial respect in the future. Having some money on hand makes you feel secure, but I promise I’ll make time to bring Fengzhen back."

For him to address her as "Mom," Aunt Wang was very pleased. "Yunqiao, I want to ask, do you plan on having Fengzhen bear children?"
