Chapter 56 - 56

Chapter 56 They've started fighting...There was no movement inside. Lu Jiayansighed, pushed her bicycle, and went outside.He rode his bike to town and went straight to the post office to call his mother without any delay. As soon as his mother answered the phone, she asked, "Son, have you seen Yan Yan?""Mom, what nonsense are you making now? When did we get engaged again? Let me tell you, I won't be with her, I don't like her.""Your child, Yan Yan has always liked you. Our two families are acquaintances, isn't that great? This child is cultured and good-looking, he's not bad at all.""Mom, whether she likes me or not is none of my business. I could never like her. The engagement you're talking about doesn't count because it wasn't agreed to by me. You'd better make that clear to the Hao family." Lu Jiayan said firmly, frowning."You've reached the age where you should be thinking about marriage, don't ignore my advice.""Mom, I have a girl I like, and I'm determined to marry her. It's no use any of you arranging things for me.""What? You didn't actually find a country girl, did you? Son, let me tell you! Don't be silly. If you really don't like Yan Yan, you can't find someone in the countryside.""She's also an educated youth, and I finally managed to win her over. Now, because of Hao Yan, she's ignoring me," Lu Jiayan said, sounding a little aggrieved.Hearing her son's aggrieved voice, Lu's mother felt heartbroken. "My son is so outstanding, why does he have to go and fawn over someone like that?""Mom, anyway, don't worry about this. You need to make things clear to the Hao Family. I can't possibly agree to this.""Alright, but since our two families are acquaintances, don't go too far with Yan Yan. Also, take good care of yourself over there!""Okay, I'm hanging up." Lu Jiayan got a headache as soon as he heard Hao Yan's name. Because of her, he was about to lose his girlfriend. How could he expect her to be nice to him?Lu's mother verbally agreed to her son's request, but she didn't immediately go to Hao Family to tell him, in case her son changed his mind later.Lu Jiayan had no idea that his mother hadn't dissolved the so-called verbal engagement for him.After making the call, he left the post office, went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, bought two cans of fruit, and then went home.Hao Yan did indeed rent a house in the courtyard from the Brigade Leader, and he's currently moving his things into the courtyard! Zhao Weidong is being particularly obsequious in helping him, which makes Yun Ting glance at him again. Didn't this guy express a lot of interest in Lin Xue a while ago? Has he moved on to someone else?When Lu Jiayan returned to the courtyard, he was about to take the canned fruit to find Yang Qingqing when Hao Yan, who was waiting for him, rushed up and stopped him." Jia Yan, did you buy this canned food for me?"Lu Jiayan frowned and looked at her with displeasure. Just as he was about to speak, Yin Jiao rushed up and pushed Hao Yan away. "You're so shameless. Did Brother Jiayan say he would buy it for you?"Yun Ting, who was leisurely lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) inside the house, heard the sound, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up from the bed and ran to the door, peeking out to look into the yard."And who are you? Brother Jiayan, is that what you call me? Shameless..." Hao Yan retorted defiantly."Enough, you two! Go get treatment if you're sick. I have nothing to do with either of you!" Lu Jiayan couldn't help but yell." Jia Yan …" Hao Yan stepped forward and tried to grab his hand, but Yin Jiao rushed over and shoved her away again, this time stirring up a hornet's nest.Hao Yan slapped Yin Jiao across the face. Caught off guard, Yin Jiao turned to look at Hao Yan in disbelief, "Ah...you bitch, you actually hit me! I'll beat you to death..."And then... the two of them started doing it.No one tried to break up the fight. The two were pulling each other's hair and clothes, fighting fiercely. Lu Jiayan watched coldly, not intending to intervene. Yun Ting didn't plan to get involved either, lest she get herself into trouble. Yang Qingqing stayed inside and didn't come out at all.It was Zhou Yang who was woken up by the noise and came out to see what was happening, and that's when he went to pull it open.The two of them had messy hair and clothes, and their faces were covered in bruises; they looked utterly disheveled.From this point on, Hao Yan and Yin Jiao were truly enemies.With Zhou Yang's intervention, the scene came to an end. Yun Ting shook her head and went back inside.Lu Jiayan arrived at Yang Qingqing's door and knocked. "Qingqing, open the door. I have something to tell you."Yang Qingqing opened the door and looked at him. "What do you want to say?"Lu Jiayan handed over the canned fruit, saying, "I bought this especially for you. Don't ignore me; I can explain."Yang Qingqing glanced at him, then took the can of food from his hand, put it inside, and came out to look at him steadily. "Let's begin!""What?""Start your explanation, Lu Jiayan. You know my personality. If you really are engaged, then let's call it quits and don't bother me anymore. It's no use saying anything."Yang Qingqing doesn't necessarily need to be in a relationship, a point on which she shares withYun Ting, demonstrating her rationality."The engagement was just something my family talked about verbally; I had no idea about it. It doesn't count. I just called my mom to explain and asked her to go to Hao Family to clarify things. There's no way I can be with her. You're the only one in my heart and eyes."Yang Qingqing was not swayed by his sweet words. "Then let's talk about it after things are resolved.""My mom will definitely go and explain things clearly.""That's settled then! We have to sort things out here too." Yang Qingqing glanced at Hao Yan in the yard, who was glaring at them resentfully.Yang Qingqing frowned in thought. Had she rushed things? She shouldn't have agreed to date him; now she was in a real mess.Lu Jiayan followed her gaze and saw that Hao Yan had changed her expression and smiled at him.What they do is none of Yun Ting's business; right now, she's thinking about what to cook for dinner!There were many large steamed white flour buns in the room, and she was too lazy to cook rice. She would just make a spicy rabbit dish and eat two buns, which was simple and convenient.To avoid attracting attention, she made spicy rabbit meat in her spatial dimension, figuring no one would bother knocking on her door to find out what she was eating.I was thinking of raising some chickens, ducks, geese, and other livestock in the space, but I couldn't get any chicks! I asked Uncle Chenbefore if he could get any, but he couldn't either.I think I should find some time to ask Aunt Meihua if she has any places to exchange for chicks and ducklings.Although we raise quite a few wild rabbits in the mountains, there are too few varieties! We're all tired of eating them.She was reluctant to eat even those wild sheep! Speaking of which, I have to mention the treasures of her spatial abilities. She can even consciously slaughter the animals kept in her space, which saves her the headache of killing those wild sheep and cattle.Yun Ting was leisurely enjoying a delicious spicy rabbit meat, taking a bite of steamed bun and a bite of meat, completely satisfied.Suddenly, there was another argument outside.Yun Ting quickly put down the half-eaten steamed bun in her hand, got up, opened the door, and peeked out as usual.An unidentified object flew past her eyes, and she reacted quickly, pulling her head back. "What was that?! That scared me to death...""roll…"Yun Ting: "…"
