The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Country's Nanlai Paradise

There are not many people at the dinner table, but they all have different ideas.

After hearing Ye Ling's answer, Jiuyou felt very nervous. He was the only single man here before, but now Xue Jingchuan came, and the other party was more capable than him. Just like Li Ye said, he was also afraid of what to do if his house was robbed?

Li Ye decided to speak up to break the silence: "Um... Eldest sister, after Qianqing and I get married, shouldn't we also build a house? After all, we've bought the things and have the laborers. You see, with so many people here, it's going to be a problem to find a place to stay. We can't let the guests squeeze into one room!"

"After you and Qianqing get married, your room will be vacated and Bailang can live in it. The house... can also be put on the agenda," Ye Ling said while eating.

"The sooner you build it, the sooner you can feel at ease!" Li nodded with a smile. He had already brought the topic to the point.

Xue Jingchuan glanced around the courtyard and asked, "You added a small house?"

"Yes! Our family will have more people in the future, so we plan to add a second floor to the houses on both sides. The wood has been bought," said Ye Ling.

White Wolf realized it later: "I understand, I am the coolie, right?"

Ye Ling smiled: "You guessed right."

Xue Jingchuan was still struggling with the accommodation issue: "Then...then there aren't enough houses for the night right now?"

"It's just right, what's wrong with it?" Li couldn't help laughing.

"Bai Lang and I will share a room, the two kids will share a room, and you will share a room. After we connect this side, there will only be one room left. Qian Qing will live there, Ye Ling will live on the second floor, and where will Jiu You stay at night?" Xue Jingchuan calculated it very clearly.

"I will live in the same room with my senior sister," Jiuyou finally broke the rules and said.

Li Ye and Bai Lang both lowered their heads to suppress their laughter. Xue Jingchuan was surprised: "Didn't you two... not get married?"

"We can't live together before we're married? Who said that?" Jiuyou's incarnation, Ye Ling, asked, adding, "We've been living together for half a year."

Ye Ling suppressed a satisfied laugh: Good boy, you still have to have a sense of crisis, otherwise you wouldn't say such a thing!

Xue Jingchuan looked at Ye Ling: "You...you really live together?"

Ye Ling nodded: "Yes! He has been in a coma for half a year. I have to take care of him anytime and anywhere. How can I take care of him if we don't live together? I can't just abandon me when he wakes up, right?"

"Impossible," Jiuyou quickly stated, "When Senior Sister has had enough fun, we'll get married."

Li also put down his chopsticks: "Brother-in-law, given your character, I admire you for being able to say these words in public."

Ye Ling picked up a small bun for Jiuyou and said, "Come on, eat more. You haven't fully recovered yet and you keep sweating at night."

"Puff... cough cough..." White Wolf almost choked himself to death: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please continue. Keep talking."

Xue Jingchuan's expression didn't change much: "When are you planning to get married? Can I have a drink at the wedding?"

"At least three years later. If you are still alive three years later, I will treat you," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Why three years later?" White Wolf was puzzled.

"After the third anniversary of Senior Feng" Li Ye was the first to think of it.

"Then should I also wait three years?" Qian Qing asked quickly.

"You don't need it," Li said anxiously.

Ye Ling smiled: "Look at your worthless appearance, Qianqing, Master is my father. During the three-year mourning period for him, my junior brother and I cannot hold a wedding."

"Three years, that's great," Xue Jingchuan said suddenly.

Everyone immediately looked at the person who spoke, and Li Ye asked, "Xue Gongzi, what's so good?"

Xue Jingchuan smiled slightly: "In three years, anything can happen, right? Hehe..."

"Sir, your smile is a bit sinister," Bai Lang couldn't help but complain.

Ye Ling nodded without thinking it was too much, "You're right, a lot of things have happened in three years."

Li Ye and Bai Lang looked at Jiu You at the same time, their eyes showing an attempt to hold back laughter as they watched a show.

Jiuyou was a straightforward person, he couldn't tell that Ye Ling was joking at all, so his heart was beating wildly at this moment, and he instantly felt a great sense of crisis.

Ye Ling suddenly remembered something: "Li Ye, you are going to marry my sister. Have you proposed to her?"

"I begged," Li said confidently, "I bought the ring as you said. I begged for it last night."

"Let me see the ring," Ye Ling was very curious.

Qian Qing blushed: "Eldest sister, I... didn't wear it."

"Why? It doesn't look good?"

"It looks good, but... just wear it in a couple of days!"

"Do you know the meaning of this ring? Once you wear it, whether you are married or not, you will be taken, unless you have not decided to spend your life with him," Ye Ling said.

"Put it on quickly!" Li Ye said anxiously.

"Okay." Qian Qing got up and went back to the room to get the ring.

Ye Ling whispered, "Li Ye, your proposal is too frivolous. You asked quietly without any ceremony at all. If it were me, I would definitely not agree to it. The whole thing is just a formality."

"Yes, yes, my elder sister taught me a lesson," Li Ye said, but his eyes looked at Jiuyou with a smile, meaning: My silly brother-in-law, did you hear me? I'm talking to you.

Jiuyou was not stupid, he could hear it, but he was still confused.

"Eldest sister" Qian Qing came out with a ring: "Look, is it the one you said?"

"Of course, I bought it according to what my elder sister said," Li Ye said.

Ye Ling took Qian Qing's hand and said, "It's really beautiful. Wearing this symbolizes a lifetime together. However, if you don't want to be with him halfway through, there's no need to force it. Just throw the ring away. The next one will be better."

"Stop!" Li Ye panicked and quickly pulled Qian Qing's hand away from Ye Ling: "Eldest sister, you can't teach this!"

"Why can't I teach her? Don't think that marriage is a foregone conclusion. If you dare to treat her badly or have affairs with other women, I will immediately let Qianqing divorce you. There are plenty of men. At worst, I can support her," said Ye Ling.

"I'm not that kind of man," Li almost swore.

Ye Ling pulled Qian Qing back again, and then spoke earnestly, "Sister, remember this: in life, you can live with a clear conscience, but you must never give in at every step. Life doesn't have to be as you please, but you must have principles and bottom lines. Kindness has limits, and tolerance has limits. Don't blindly accommodate and tolerate. Don't be afraid of offending others. There is no regret for what you can lose. Always live for yourself. Do you understand?"

Qian Qing nodded: "I remember every word my elder sister said."

"Eldest Sister" Li also raised her hand and spoke: "My promise to Qianqing is eternal, really, you don't have to worry."

Ye Ling smiled. "Brother-in-law, it's not that I don't believe you, and I'm not saying this to you. It's just that life is like this. Who will accompany whom through the ups and downs? Who will believe whom when it's true or false? Promises are something that the listener remembers, but the maker forgets long ago. A madman tells a fool, and the speaker doesn't mean it, but the listener takes it seriously. Tell me, whose fault is this? The answer is, there's nothing wrong, it's just a difference of perspective."

"That's a very good point. This is realistic. However, Ye Ling, you are being too extreme. Some people still keep their promises, like me." Xue Jingchuan smiled and pointed at himself: "I am the most trustworthy person."

"I really didn't realize this," Ye Ling said.

"I didn't notice it either." Qian Qing quickly said, "Elder sister, look at you. You are so outstanding, with great martial arts skills, rich and kind-hearted. Any man would have feelings for you."

"It's their business what they think. I only have my own principles: If I like him, I will fall into his arms after three cups. If I don't like him, I will let him know what it means to stay calm until Qingdao falls and to stay calm until snowflakes float," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Who is Qingdao? Who is Xuehua?" Qian Qing looked confused.

"Yes... two ungrateful men. Come on, have breakfast quickly, and then start to get busy. Today is the third day of the new year, and we only have three days to prepare." Ye Ling didn't want to chat anymore.

"Yes, Bailang, you as a coolie have to work hard and act like a coolie," said Xue Jingchuan.

White Wolf smiled and said, "Yes, for your sake, I will do my best to do this hard labor."

After breakfast, Qian Qing was about to wash the dishes, but Ye Ling drove her away, so she washed the dishes herself.

Xue Jingchuan offered to help, but Ye Ling refused outright: "You are injured and need to be taken care of. Bai Lang is enough for the labor."

"I have internal injuries. As long as I don't use my internal energy, I will recover slowly. Is there anything else in the kitchen that I can help you with?" Xue Jingchuan refused to leave.

"Then pick these mushrooms and wash them. Qianqing must have picked them nearby. We'll have chicken stewed with mushrooms for lunch and some cold dishes," Ye Ling said while washing dishes.

"Qianqing is so lucky to have a lady like you."

"As far as I can remember, she has served me in everything, working tirelessly and without complaint. Now that she's going to be a bride, I want her to rest for a few days. Besides, I don't treat her as a servant."

"I can tell. Where's that little girl? The one who just came in carrying firewood."

"Her name is Bamei. I rescued her along the way. My intention was to let her accompany Wanqi. A child growing up alone would be very lonely."

Xue Jingchuan paused for a moment after hearing this. "Ye Ling, are you and Jiu You really...decided? Does that mean outsiders have no chance at all?"

"What else?" Ye Ling smiled and glanced at Xue Jingchuan. She understood what he meant and said generously, "I love him, very much. I will be very happy to have him accompany me in the future. I will do my best to save him and will never let him lose me again."

Xue Jingchuan felt indescribably uncomfortable: "What if... one day, his heart leaves?"

Ye Ling simply shook his head: "There is no such possibility. Jiuyou will never change his mind."

"Are you so sure?"

"Yes, he would give up his own life for me. A man like that is enough for me to love him," Ye Ling said softly. Lately, she has been flipping through her notebooks, which clearly describe how Jiuyou died in the book. She read it over and over again, and cried every time. After thinking for a moment, she added, "My Jiuyou has a tiger back, a bee waist, and mantis legs. He satisfies all my fantasies about men."

Xue Jingchuan smiled bitterly: "Rogue girl."

"I'm just a hooligan," Ye Ling said with a smile.

At this moment, the two people in the room were so engrossed in their conversation that no one noticed Wanqi sitting in the corner eating fruit, her eyes rolling around, and then she got up and ran out.
