Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Liu Jia sneered inwardly.

At first, I thought I should use some methods to expose Liu Dongmei's true colors, but now I realize it was completely unnecessary.

Before Zhao Xiaochao had even exhausted all the methods he suggested, Liu Dongmei's true colors had already been revealed.

"To be with me?"

"You've got some nerve. If you really did that, do you think Qin Tianming would let you off the hook?"

Liu Dongmei, who was on the other end of the line, was taken aback, then sighed.

"Brother Liu, I've told you before, Tianming and I aren't a good match. Our marriage was arranged."

"It's not that I can't be with you, but you have to tell me the truth: how many men have you been with before?"

Liu Jia knew that asking this question was tantamount to stabbing Qin Tianming in the heart with a knife.

But if we hadn't done it this way, we might not have been able to see what kind of person Liu Dongmei really is today!

Sure enough, after Liu Jia asked that question, a sound came from not far away.

Liu Dongmei was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

"Brother Liu, what's that sound?"

"It must be some stray cat!"

A hint of nervousness flashed through Liu Jia's mind, but he still managed to reply calmly.

Liu Dongmei reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, pretending to be frightened.

"That damn cat is terrifying."

"you have not answer my question yet."

I was thinking of changing the subject, but Liu Jia urged me again.

Liu Dongmei lowered her head quietly, but she was already extremely nervous inside.

How exactly should I say it?

If I told Liu Jia that I didn't have any other men besides Qin Tianming, I doubt Liu Jia would believe me.

But if he told the truth, would Liu Jia still accept him?

Although we live in an open era and the old feudal ideas are no longer fashionable, what man doesn't love a beautiful young woman?

"I... Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, besides Tiantian, there are indeed quite a few men who like me, but my heart is not with any of them."

"But as for matters of the heart, I'm sure Brother Liu knows that even though I don't like them, they keep pursuing me."

"But I promise that as long as I have a stable home, I will definitely cut ties with all those men from before."

There might have been some concealment in what I said before.

But Liu Dongmei spoke from the bottom of her heart in the last sentence.

Liu Dongmei had always wanted to choose the most suitable man to marry from among those men, but no matter how she looked, none of them suited her taste.

Those who are good to themselves come from poor families.

Those from well-off families look down on me.

Even if they flirt with you, it's just for fun.

Now, looking at Liu Jia across from her, Liu Dongmei's thoughts started to stir again.

Liu Jia is handsome and has good prospects. Logically speaking, I am not good enough for him. However, he has been married once before.

I think it would be okay for me to marry someone like him who's been married before!

At this point, Liu Jia was too tired to deal with Liu Dongmei anymore.

"I think I'll pass. Right now, I'm only thinking about making money, not about women."

"Brother Liu, chasing women and making money don't interfere with each other!"

Although she didn't use any physical gestures, Liu Dongmei's language became increasingly bold.

Liu Jia felt like throwing up!

Thankfully, I didn't rush to eat, otherwise I would have thrown up everything I ate.

This woman is absolutely disgusting!

"As the old saying goes, you can't do two things at once, and I don't have that in mind for the time being."

After giving a perfunctory reply, Liu Jia continued, "Alright, I've delivered the message. Think about how you're going to decide! We'll talk again when we get back to you."

Liu Jia's words sounded quite polite.

In fact, he had no intention of ever having any further contact with Liu Dong.

Moreover, the brother with similar conditions mentioned earlier simply doesn't exist.

Liu Jia turned around, not wanting to stay there a moment longer.

But Liu Dongmei followed.

"Brother Liu, no need to trouble yourself, I can make a decision right now..."

"Hoohoo!"

Before Liu Dongmei could finish speaking, a sound came from the cornfield.

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure darted over!

"what!"

Liu Dongmei gasped softly, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

"What's this, Brother Liu? There's a thief!"

Liu Jia stood still, his expression unchanged.

Qin Tianming trembled all over and rushed straight to Liu Dongmei!

"Liu Dongmei, so this is what you're like! I really misjudged you!"

"Everything you told me before was a lie, wasn't it? I, Qin Tianming, was truly blind to believe you. You even prepared so many escape routes for yourself!"

"Liu Dongmei, from this day forward, we're severing all ties!"

Liu Dongmei was completely stunned.

What happened?

Why did Qin Tianming suddenly appear?

Could it be that the commotion just now was made by Qin Tianming?

After figuring out what was going on, Liu Dongmei, ignoring the pain in her buttocks, quickly reached out to pull Qin Tianming away!

"Tianming, listen to me, it's not what you think!"

"Get out, Liu Dongmei! I never want to see you again in my entire life!"

After saying that, Qin Tianming strode out of the cornfield!

Liu Jia followed Qin Tianming out without looking back.

Then came the sound of a woman crying, which only annoyed Liu Jia.

"Tianming, believe me, I was just joking!"

Qin Tianming walked faster and faster, and finally started running.

……

Twenty minutes later.

The north room of the Qin family.

Liu Jia and Qin Tianming sat facing each other.

Qin Tianming remained silent, and Liu Jia did not speak either.

The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Finally, Liu Jia spoke first.

"Tianming, this is a good thing, you don't need to be discouraged."

Qin Tianming was about to cry out loud. This grown man looked up at Liu Jia, trembling.

"Third brother, after doing something so shameful, how can you applaud? Third brother, do you think I'm even a man? I'm such a coward!"

As he spoke, Qin Tianming covered his face with his hands and could no longer hold back his sobs.

Liu Jia stood up and immediately said, "What are you crying for, you big man? She's just a woman, and not even a woman worth your sincere feelings! The sooner you see through her, the better!"

“I know, but she is the wife I’m going to marry.”

"If you marry her, she's your wife; if you don't, she's someone else's wife. Can't you even understand this basic principle?"

Upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Qin Tianming's heart skipped a beat again.

The words Liu Dongmei had said in the cornfield echoed in my ears again.

Besides herself, Liu Dongmei had many other men.

She's just stringing herself along, wanting to have her cake and eat it too. A woman like that isn't worth keeping.

However, what he had invested in Liu Dongmei was not only money, but also his feelings!

Qin Tianming frowned deeply and remained silent.

"Alright, you know better than I do what happened. It's getting late, I should go."

It wasn't until Liu Jia stood up that Qin Tianming realized how late it was.

"Brother, I'll take you there."

"Forget it, you're so distracted, just mind your own business!"

Liu Jia waved his hand and then walked outside.

The truth is now before him; how long it takes Qin Tianming to accept it is up to him.

It was almost half an hour later when we returned to Xidi Village.

Upon learning what Liu Jia had done, Zhang Guilan was so shocked that her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

"Sanzi, why did you do this? What kind of things have you done?"

Zhang Guilan stammered, but finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

Liu Jia raised his head.

“Mother, the woman Tianming has taken a liking to is not suitable for marriage at all. Even if we marry her, we won’t be able to keep her. It’s better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. I think this is fine.”

"That's great news! Tianming has always been stubborn. Do you think he can handle it? I hope nothing bad happens to him!"

"Don't worry, Tianming is an adult now. If he can't even figure this out, what's the point of him getting married?"

After Liu Jia said that, Zhang Guilan didn't know how to refute him for a moment.

It seems like there's nothing I can do but sigh.

“I think Sanzi did the right thing. That woman is of bad character. She’s a bottomless pit now, and who knows what will happen in the future? If she doesn’t stay after spending money, it will be even worse.”

Zhang Guilan looked at Liu Yutian, her eyes filled with disbelief.

I thought Liu Yutian shared the same thought as me, that Liu Jia's actions were too risky.

But to everyone's surprise, Liu Yutian sided with his son.

"You're just going to let him get away with this. If something really happens, it'll be too late to regret it!"

After saying that, Zhang Guilan went back to the yard to tidy up.

Liu Yutian looked at Liu Jia and spoke after a while.

"Third son, now that we're talking, you have to tell me, is there really nothing wrong with Tianming?"

“Your mother’s worries are not unfounded. Accidents often happen in the blink of an eye. If you can’t think straight for a moment, something terrible can happen. By the time you regret it, it will be too late.”

"I'm not trying to scare you, but so many things like this have happened in our village. They're all there for all to see. Old Li from the west end of the village knew his wife was having an affair, so he grabbed a kitchen knife and chopped someone up. He still hasn't come out."

Liu Yutian's words were heavy, and his eyes were full of questions.

Liu Jia's expression also became serious.

"Father, don't worry, I've explained the reasoning to Tianming. He's not that stupid."

"That's fine."

After chatting for a while, Liu Jia went to his room to sleep.

Soon, the lights in Liu Yutian's room went out.

Liu Jia slept very soundly, and when he opened his eyes it was already dawn.

Zhang Guilan barely slept a wink all night.

As soon as it got light, Zhang Guilan, with dark circles under her eyes, went to make breakfast.

Before long, Zhang Chunxue's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Guilan, are you up yet?"
