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

Liu Jianye stood still, while Liu Jia had already gone to the yard to push his bicycle.

The person has been taken to the People's Hospital; they must be seriously injured.

However, to find out the specifics, one can only do so after meeting Cui Hongmei.

Just as he was about to push the bicycle out, Liu Jia suddenly propped it up again.

I need to go get the money.

As the old saying goes, "A poor family should be well-fed on the road," so it's always good to have extra money on hand.

Inside the north room.

Liu Yutian and Zhang Guilan were discussing their second son when they saw Liu Jia enter, and they both stood up at the same time.

"Sanzi, you're back. Did your second brother call you?"

"You're going to the city with your second brother?"

The two spoke at the same time, their eyes filled with questions.

Liu Jia spoke as he walked inside.

"I ran into my second brother at the door just now. Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I'm going to the city with him to see what's going on. We'll be back as soon as everything's alright."

Zhang Guilan sighed, her voice trembling with tears.

"How could nothing happen? How could Hongmei be so stubborn? She dared to jump from such a tall building! It was terrifying!"

Liu Jia was stunned.

house?

Jump down!

That's incredibly audacious! Isn't this just ridiculous?

This could be fatal!

"Mom, are you saying my sister-in-law jumped off the house?"

Liu Jia looked at Zhang Guilan in disbelief.

Zhang Guilan nodded, her eyes immediately reddening.

"That's right! Didn't your second brother tell you? Hongmei and her mother had a fight over the increased bride price. The two of them exchanged a few words, and Hongmei was so angry that she actually jumped off!"

"Fortunately, he's alright, but his leg can't be treated in the village, so he was sent to the People's Hospital."

"The bone is broken in two, how much pain must it have been? Why would this girl be so foolish?"

After Zhang Guilan briefly explained what had happened, Liu Jia quickly ran into his room to get the money.

Not long after, he ran out the door again.

Zhang Guilan was probably referring to a fracture.

It will definitely take more than a month or two to recover properly.

Now, Liu Jia is just hoping that Cui Hongmei's leg won't develop any problems.

Otherwise, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life?

As soon as Liu Jia pushed his bicycle to the door, Zhang Guilan chased after him.

"Sanzi, you and your second brother slow down, and watch your step while riding your bikes!"

"Okay, Mother, you can go back now!"

Liu Jia didn't even turn his head, and kept pedaling hard.

As soon as he stepped outside, Liu Jianye rushed up.

As Liu Jianye's figure gradually disappeared, Zhang Guilan wiped away her tears.

She had held back her tears in front of Liu Jia, but now that no one was watching, Zhang Guilan couldn't hold them back any longer.

Lately, things haven't been going well at home; one worrying thing after another has happened.

I really don't know what kind of evil spirit this is.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Sanzi and Jianye went to the city, don't worry."

Liu Yutian appeared beside Zhang Guilan at some point and said something in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guilan cried even harder.

“Since I married into your Liu family, I have never heard you say a single kind word. Now that you say this, I am even more afraid.”

"Dad, what's wrong with our family? Sanzi and Yan'er got divorced, Jianye hasn't even married his wife yet, and now he's injured. What's going on?"

Zhang Guilan believed she could hold on, but when she thought about all the unfortunate events that kept happening one after another, she broke down completely.

Liu Yutian reached out and grabbed a towel, handing it to Zhang Guilan.

"You're just thinking nonsense. The third brother got divorced, but that's not their fault. That's just how things are. We can't just think about ourselves."

"Second brother, in my opinion, Hongmei is also a good girl. The person who came just now didn't explain clearly, and just pointed at her like that, but I can figure out what it was about."

"It's really shameful that the Cui family did this behind Hongmei's back, so it's no wonder she's angry."

At this point, Liu Yutian sighed.

“It’s Hongmei who’s going to suffer. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, so she’ll need to rest for a while.”

After listening, Zhang Guilan didn't say anything more. She put the towel back on the clothesline and went to wash her face.

"Don't keep these things to yourself. Everyone has their problems sometimes. Don't take it too hard," Liu Yutian added.

Zhang Guilan then hummed in agreement.

……

"Brother, is what my mother and the others said true? My sister-in-law really jumped off the house?"

Upon leaving the village, Liu Jia's first question to Liu Jianye was about the situation.

Liu Jianye: "I didn't see Hongmei, so I don't know what happened. That's what the person who came said."

"My sister-in-law has quite a temper. She can't stand anything and knows she's risking her health. If something really happens, it'll be a big deal!"

Having confirmed the facts with Liu Jianye, Liu Jia also said something anxiously.

Thinking that it was because of her own affairs that Liu Jianye and Cui Hongmei's meeting was delayed, Liu Jia felt even more guilty.

"Brother, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you and my sister-in-law would have met, and this whole mess wouldn't have happened."

"It has nothing to do with you. Don't try to take the blame for everything. It's just a coincidence. Let's talk about it when we see the person at the hospital."

The two rode towards the city, talking as they went.

Upon learning that the Cui family had not discussed the increase in bride price with Cui Hongmei, which was why Cui Hongmei had argued with them, Liu Jia felt a surge of admiration for her.

Cui Hongmei is a good person, and her personality is somewhat similar to Liu Jianye's. If these two get together, they're sure to work together as one.

Right now, I have a lot of things to deal with.

But ultimately, there are priorities.

Liu Jia thought that he should give Liu Jianye some time for the time being, and leave the factory matters to his elder brother Liu Xinguo.

The delivery cannot be delayed.

In addition, there are some orders to negotiate, which I need to resolve as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhou Caixia's marriage to Li Zhenhe needs to be settled as soon as possible.

All of these things combined are too numerous to count on your fingers.

This really proves the old saying: "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."

No matter when, everyone always has a lot of things to take care of.

the other side.

Guo family.

Guo Xiaoyan was once again summoned into the study by Guo Zhiyuan.

This time, it wasn't because of Liu Jia, but because of Cao Xiangyang.

The study door was locked, and the room was unusually quiet.

Guo Xiaoyan's brows furrowed, and her face looked as if it were covered with frost.

Guo Zhiyuan's face also showed displeasure.

Even the air felt incredibly stuffy.

Finally, Guo Xiaoyan couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to speak.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't know Cao Xiangyang's father had come to see you. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble!"

Guo Xiaoyan also felt wronged when the matter was brought up.

If she hadn't been biting her lip so hard, Guo Xiaoyan felt like her tears would have burst forth.

That Cao Xiangyang is so annoying!

I had made things very clear to him, but he actually sent an elder to intervene, and did so without my father knowing anything about it. What kind of behavior is this!

Guo Zhiyuan's eyebrows twitched, and his voice became slightly hoarse.

“What I want is not your apology, Guo Xiaoyan. You are an adult now. Dad believes you are capable of handling both work and life.”

"Regarding your personal life, Dad has always felt that you have a direction."

"As a father, there are some things I might not be able to ask, but Dad needs to know what you're really thinking."

"Now, tell Dad, are you dating your classmate Cao Xiangyang?"

"How far has your relationship progressed? Are you already planning to get married?"

Guo Zhiyuan's expression remained unchanged as he said this.

But these words caused a huge uproar in Guo Xiaoyan's ears.

Indeed, Guo Zhiyuan laid a very elaborate foundation at the beginning.

Anyone who hears those words will feel a little more at ease.

When asked about her relationship with Cao Xiangyang, Guo Xiaoyan felt like a stone was weighing on her heart.

Guo Xiaoyan was completely bewildered when Guo Zhiyuan asked her if she was dating Cao Xiangyang and if she had any plans to get married!

Once she came to her senses, Guo Xiaoyan suddenly stood up.

“Dad, that’s not how it is. Don’t believe what Cao Zhongsheng said. Cao Xiangyang and I are just classmates, and we used to be classmates.”

“We weren’t dating, so how could we get married? Cao Xiangyang did propose to me, but I rejected him. Perhaps that’s why his father went to find you.”

“Dad, I will not marry Cao Xiangyang. He has character flaws, and I will not settle for him for that reason alone.”

Guo Xiaoyan's expression grew increasingly resolute, and her tone became more and more decisive.

Especially when he said the last sentence, his eyes became much more determined.

"Oh? You have character issues?"

Guo Zhiyuan was somewhat surprised by his daughter's reason for not marrying Cao Xiangyang.

Character encompasses a wide range of aspects, and it's impossible to draw conclusions easily in a short time.

Even at his age, Guo Zhiyuan doesn't dare to rashly comment on someone's character.

However, the daughter so firmly rejected Cao Xiangyang.

Isn't this a bit too arbitrary?

"Xiaoyan, is that really what you think?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Xiaoyan replied directly, "Yes, Dad, I can't marry Cao Xiangyang. No matter what methods he uses, he can't make me agree."

Guo Xiaoyan's words only made Guo Zhiyuan more confused.

Before this, I seemed to have heard Guo Xiaoyan mention Cao Xiangyang.

When his daughter was in school, she was always well-behaved and rarely mentioned her male classmates, so Guo Zhiyuan remembered the name Cao Xiangyang very well.

Unexpectedly, after returning to the city, Guo Xiaoyan gave Cao Xiangyang such an evaluation.

Since my daughter has no interest in Cao Xiangyang, there's no need for me to ask any more questions about what happened today.

"Okay, I see."

"Dad, I'm sorry, has Cao Zhongsheng caused you a lot of trouble? Is there anything I can do to help?"

According to my mother, Cao Xiangyang's father found my father and, in the university office, directly discussed Cao Xiangyang's marriage to him.

The father was caught off guard.

Unfortunately, many colleagues offered their congratulations at this time, which made the father extremely embarrassed.

Guo Xiaoyan didn't see the scene with her own eyes, but just thinking about it made her feel extremely annoyed.

My father is a university professor and has always valued his reputation.

Now that this has happened, he must be feeling very frustrated.

Feeling guilty, Guo Xiaoyan cautiously asked another question.

If I could make amends, I would definitely do something to do so.

"No need. If anyone asks again, I'll just explain it to them."

"Dad, do you think it's shameful to have a daughter like me?"

Guo Xiaoyan's voice choked with emotion as she frantically tapped her fingers.

Guo Zhiyuan stood up, walked around the chair, and came to Guo Xiaoyan's side.

“Xiaoyan, you can’t think like that. In Dad’s eyes, you are very outstanding. Dad has three children, and you are all outstanding.”

Guo Xiaoyan looked at Guo Zhiyuan with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, Guo Zhiyuan said something else.

"Also, Liu Jia is very outstanding."

Guo Xiaoyan was stunned once again.
