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

Looking at Li Zhenhe and then at Liu Jia, Zhou Fengshou laughed heartily.

“You young people are really something. Okay, let’s split into two groups.”

"They say their thing, we'll say ours."

"Where is our business located? Inside the house or in the yard?"

These past few days, everything has been going incredibly smoothly, and Zhou Fengshou is in an exceptionally good mood.

In the past.

Whether Zhao Xiaochao and Zhou Caijuan were alone together, or Zhou Caixia and Li Zhenhe were alone in the room, Zhou Fengshou's face would always fall.

Although times have changed, our minds must also become more open.

But given their age, it's understandable that people might overthink things if a man and a woman are alone together.

They're not children anymore; we need to be mindful of the impact they have.

This is a phrase that Zhou Fengshou often says.

But it's different now.

When you're in a good mood, your perspective on things changes.

As the village chief of Xili Village, I can't let others say that I have backward thinking.

Zhou Fengshou was still quietly making excuses for himself when Liu Jia's voice came over.

"Let's talk right here!"

"Okay, then you tell me."

Liu Jia remained calm. Although Zhou Fengshou had prepared himself mentally, he wasn't particularly nervous seeing Liu Jia's nonchalant attitude.

But when Liu Jia told him what had happened, Zhou Fengshou was suddenly speechless.

He remained silent for a long time.

"What do you think, Uncle Zhou? This is what I'm thinking for now. I think it's quite reasonable, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"No, that won't do."

Zhou Fengshou wasn't sure what the problem was, but he felt that Liu Jia's arrangement wouldn't work.

"Why not? You know, when I run a business, you have to run around doing all the work and put in a lot of effort. What's wrong with investing in some shares?"

"Besides, this isn't forced investment; it's voluntary on my part. Can't I just beg you to invest?"

"I don't care what others say. Let them say whatever they want. We will arrange our own affairs and not care about other people's opinions."

As he spoke, Liu Jia's expression turned serious.

Zhou Fengshou still shook his head.

“Third son, I know you mean well, but this can’t be done this way.”

“Look, you’ve set up a factory in our village. I’m happy to help you even if I don’t know how to do things or care about anything else. I’m just happy to do my part.”

"But what about when I invested in the company? That makes all the difference."

“People will say that I am doing this for my own benefit, and that's the nice thing to say. With so many people talking, who knows what other nasty things those jealous people will say.”

"That would be a problem in the future. If something really happens, I won't have the confidence to speak up."

Liu Jia frowned slightly, carefully considering what Zhou Fengshou had just said.

That's definitely true.

If Zhou Fengshou doesn't get involved in factory affairs, no one will be able to find fault with him.

But once interests become entangled, it's hard to explain.

Thinking back to how the loudspeaker had led a group of people to cause trouble at Zhou Fengshou's house, Liu Jia frowned even more deeply.

At that time, they had no evidence at all, and based on their guesses, they dismissed Zhou Fengshou's claims as nothing at all.

If Zhou Fengshou really invests, there will probably be a lot of trouble ahead.

"Then we can just secretly buy shares, you know, I know..."

Before Liu Jia could finish speaking, Zhou Fengshou interrupted him.

"There are no secrets in this world, and you can't hide the truth forever. Don't waste your time on this."

"As I said before, we need to act with integrity and speak with conviction, otherwise we won't have any confidence in our hearts."

"Uncle is getting old and doesn't care what others say about him, but he still needs to think more carefully when dealing with village affairs."

Liu Jia was at a loss for words after hearing Zhou Fengshou's words.

As Liu Jia was pondering, Zhou Fengshou suddenly took two steps toward them and lowered his voice.

"Sanzi, tell your uncle the truth, are you out of money? I have money here, I can get it for you right now."

"No, Uncle, don't overthink it. I can manage my finances, don't worry about that. It's just that I feel..."

Liu Jia couldn't finish his sentence.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Zhou Fengshou already understood his intentions.

But Zhou Fengshou's analysis of the matter was also very thorough.

Therefore, things must be done as Zhou Fengshou said.

Zhou Fengshou didn't pick up on Liu Jia's words, but reached out and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, it seemed as if everything was understood without words.

Paying five hundred yuan out of his own pocket is nothing, but Liu Jia wants to carefully arrange the subsequent small shares.

Before I could even begin to think of a beginning, Caixia's mother suddenly rushed over.

His steps were hurried, and his face was pale.

Liu Jia immediately realized something was wrong, and at the same time, Zhou Fengshou also noticed something.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

Caixia's mother looked nervous, and she was about to cry as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Old Zhou, something's happened! Caixia and Xiao Li seem to... seem to have a fight!"

As soon as these words came out.

Liu Jia and Li Zhen were both stunned.

in argument?

It shouldn’t be!

They were fine when they went in, how did they start arguing in the blink of an eye?

Liu Jia looked at the north room in disbelief.

Zhou Fengshou also asked in a low voice.

"What exactly happened? Why is Caixia being so insensible?"

Normally, it's fine if the second daughter chatters on and on.

It's common knowledge that he speaks without thinking.

But it depends on who you're dealing with.

The elderly couple spoiled their daughter rotten; she wouldn't say anything even if she got a few harsh words from them.

But it's Li Zhenhe now!

They're arguing before they're even married. How are they going to live together in the future?

Zhou Fengshou was troubled, complaining about Zhou Caixia's stubborn temper while also worrying that Li Zhenhe would get really angry.

"Go and see what's going on, Sanzi."

Before Caixia's mother could even speak, Zhou Fengshou had already started making arrangements.

Liu Jia took a deep breath.

"Uncle Zhou, Auntie, don't worry. Brother Li isn't impulsive. It must be that Caixia was speaking too loudly."

No sooner had Liu Jia finished speaking than Caixia's mother hurriedly spoke up.

"That's right! I just said I'd send a thermos to their room, but as soon as I got to the door, I heard Caixia say the wedding was off!"

Not getting married?

What's happening?

Liu Jia's heart skipped a beat, and the way he looked at Zhou Fengshou changed drastically in an instant.

"This is no joke. How could you even say you don't want to get married?"

"Yes, Sanzi, that's why I was so scared. Look at the mess this has made. I can't go in and ask right now. It's driving me crazy!"

Zhou Fengshou looked at Liu Jia again.

Suddenly my hand trembled.

I was so shocked that I forgot to look at the cigarette butt in my hand.

Now that he could see the cigarette butt and the fingertips, Zhou Fengshou gasped.

Liu Jia quickly turned around.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll go in and see what's going on!"

"Go on, go on, Sanzi, you have to make it sound amicable, don't mention anything about not getting married!"

Caixia's mother was so anxious that she kept wiping away tears. Liu Jia had to take two steps forward before calling out to his mother, and he was still giving her anxious instructions.

"understood!"

As they were talking, Liu Jia rushed towards the north room in three quick steps.

This Zhou Caixia is so stubborn. No matter what happens, how can she not get married?

Li Zhenhe knows what kind of person he is in his own heart. Doesn't Zhou Caixia see it clearly?

Liu Jia grew angrier the more she thought about it, and with a belly full of anger, she suddenly flung open the curtain.

Before even entering the house, he blurted out a sentence.

"Zhou Caixia, you've got some nerve! You want to rebel?"

"Why are you acting like this when you can live a perfectly good life? What has Li Zhen done to wrong you that you won't get married?"

"Let me tell you, someone as good as Brother Li is hard to find even with a lantern. You won't get another chance like him. You'll regret it if you don't get married now!"

"I dare say, if you break up with Li Zhenhe, you'll really be an old maid, and no one will dare to marry you!"

Having grown up with Zhou Caixia since childhood, Liu Jia never treated Zhou Caixia as an outsider.

Thinking back to his past life, Liu Jia even treated Zhou Caixia like a younger sister.

So much so that before lifting the curtain, Liu Jia only had one thought in his mind.

We absolutely cannot let Zhou Caixia act recklessly!

Missing out on Li Zhenhe was definitely Zhou Caixia's loss!

He thought that Zhou Caixia would immediately refute him after he said those words.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Caixia, sitting on the stool, didn't even reply, her eyelids drooping, and she didn't even look in his direction.

"Are you mute? Say something!"

Seeing this scene, Liu Jia became even angrier.

On the contrary, Li Zhenhe, seeing Liu Jia so angry, quickly came over.

"Sanzi, don't blame Caixia, things aren't what you think..."

"Then tell me what it is? Brother Li, I'm not trying to cause trouble, just let this girl go. You'll regret it someday."

After speaking, Liu Jia looked at Li Zhenhe.

"Didn't she just say she wasn't going to get married?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Caixia immediately became restless.

"Well, Liu Jia, you've developed some bad habits. When did you learn to eavesdrop? How embarrassing!"

"I don't care about listening to your gossip. Just tell me if this is true or not. Why aren't you getting married? Explain yourself today!"

Liu Jia frowned deeply, staring intently at Zhou Caixia.

Compared to Liu Jia, Li Zhenhe's eloquence is far inferior.

Especially at this moment, Li Zhenhe didn't know what to say. He just kept pulling Liu Jia and saying repeatedly, "It's not what you think."

"What's that like?"

Faced with Liu Jia's continued questioning, Zhou Caixia suddenly turned her head and said, "Li Zhenhe, tell me what happened? I'm so angry, I'm not talking to him!"

Instantly, Zhou Caixia rolled her eyes.

Eavesdropping on other people's conversations—how could you do something so shameful!

And they're framing someone!

I don't even want to say another word!

Eavesdropping is one thing, but why not listen to the whole conversation?

They keep harping on one sentence: if this isn't wronging someone, then what is it?

Zhou Caixia pouted, her chest heaving up and down.

"Liu Jia, you're being so unreasonable! When we were kids, I even stole candy from home for you to eat, and now you're eating candy for free!"

Liu Jia was speechless.

What does this have to do with eating sugar?

We were just talking about your decision not to get married, how did we end up talking about candy?

Looking at Zhou Caixia in front of him, Liu Jia couldn't say a word.

Only then did Li Zhenhe have a chance to speak.

"Sanzi, you've really misunderstood Caixia. She did say she wasn't getting married, but she was talking about something else entirely."

In order to make sure Liu Jia understood, Li Zhenhe decided to go all out.

He recounted in detail everything that had happened since he entered the house.

Including the things he had said to Zhou Caixia.

Zhou Caixia's face turned red to the roots of her neck, and her eyes widened once again.

"Li Zhenhe, don't you know what you should and shouldn't say? How could you say something like that?"

"I'm just worried that Liu Jia won't understand what's going on. I might as well explain it from beginning to end, and he'll understand."

Li Zhenhe looked completely innocent.

After regaining his senses, Liu Jia was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

This time, it was Zhou Caixia and Li Zhenhe's turn to be puzzled.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

Zhou Caixia turned her face away and muttered softly.

Liu Jiaqing cleared his throat and waved to the two people in front of him.

Zhou Caixia couldn't see it, but Li Zhenhe came closer.

"Let me tell you, what you were saying about not getting married, I didn't hear it, your mother-in-law heard it!"

moment.

Li Zhenhe's hair stood on end!

"What? It's your aunt?"
