"I was hoping to surprise you," but who knew I would run into this kind of situation here, and it almost turned into a scare.
Qin Yang also thought of the mother and daughter, "Do you know them?"
"I met them on the train before, they asked me for braised pork but I didn’t give it to them, so they held a grudge against me. Last night, they wanted to share a room with me, and when I refused, they cursed that I was looking down on them and told me I’d regret it. I was really puzzled, it was our first meeting and somehow it felt like I owed them something. Turns out it’s not just me, seems like everyone owes them."
Lin Chuxia said it casually, but a hint of coldness flashed through Qin Yang’s eyes.
No wonder Liu Xiaohua showed such hostility toward her daughter-in-law when she saw her.
The two walked side by side, and Lin Chuxia asked him, "How did you manage to get entangled with these two people?"
Earlier, when she saw the two confronting Qin Yang, she planned to step up and scold them herself, Qin Yang’s temperament isn’t a match for those two scoundrels.
But she hadn’t expected that he would protect her behind him the very first moment.
Even though she didn’t need others to stand up for her, the feeling of being protected was genuinely heartwarming.
In her previous life, whether at home or outside, she was always the one pushed forward whenever there was a problem; no one cared if she could handle it or if she would be wronged.
It was clear that Qin Yang didn’t want her to feel wronged.
Seeing Qin Yang blush as she looked at him with bright eyes, he wasn’t sure if it was out of embarrassment or something else.
He repeated the incident involving Liu Tao to her again.
"Their village is remote, Old Lady Liu called many villagers over, and there were also other villagers who came to watch the excitement. If I didn’t agree to give them 20 RMB a month, I would have been stuck in that village."
So to speak, poverty brings out the worst in people.
It was truly a situation where no reason could prevail.
"It’s also fortunate that Liu Xiaohua was still young back then, if it were now, they might have forced you to become their son-in-law," it’s clear what Liu Xiaohua is thinking.
Listening to her, Qin Yang stumbled and nearly fell.
Almost gritting his teeth, "Lin Chuxia, if I became their son-in-law, you would be without a man."
This woman, how could she say such things so indifferently?
Lin Chuxia looked up at the sky, the ground, and around, but did not look at Qin Yang, "Is your workplace large, do you stay in the dormitory? Would it be inconvenient if I came over? Maybe I should stay in a guesthouse tonight..."
"No need."
At this moment, Qin Yang was half a step behind Lin Chuxia, looking at the delicate and charming little woman with tender affection.
She looked even prettier than before, the clothes suited her well, like a little sun.
How could he possibly let his cherished wife-to-be stay in a guesthouse?
"Hmm?" Lin Chuxia turned to look at him.
Qin Yang pointed to a row of buildings ahead, "That way is the dormitory, I live alone."
Their dormitory was not in the same area as that of the workers, but it wasn’t far from the family quarters.
It was working hours now, and the entire dormitory block was very quiet, occasionally with the sound of children playing from the other side.
Qin Yang took out his keys and opened a room further inside, "Come in, the conditions here are a bit poor."
Lin Chuxia walked in while looking around the room, about twenty square meters in size, there was a desk by the window, a bed, and a wardrobe inside.
The room was very clean, the bedding on the bed neatly arranged, and there was a faint scent of mint in the entire room, the same as the smell on Qin Yang.
"I’ve put your suitcase over here," Qin Yang’s voice came.
