Chapter 49: I Don’t Agree with This Marriage 

Early the next morning, Fu Liye rode his bicycle to pick up Ji Xiaoyue.

“Get on,” Fu Liye pointed to the back seat of the bicycle.

Ji Xiaoyue got on the bike and hugged Fu Liye’s waist.

Fu Liye, who was riding the bike, almost lost his balance, his body trembled, and the bike rode in an S-shape.

Ji Xiaoyue covered her mouth and laughed: “Comrade Fu Liye, did you specifically find a bicycle to pick me up just so I could hug you?”

This time, Fu Liye didn’t sit steady, he jumped directly off the bike, his face flushed red: “Grandpa said that if you want to date, you have to ride a bicycle. Back then, he borrowed a bicycle to date Grandma.”

Ji Xiaoyue burst out laughing when she heard this: “The old man is quite a character.”

Fu Liye nodded: “Grandpa said I’m like him in everything, except for this, I’m not at all like him, not at all.”

Ji Xiaoyue pointed to the bicycle, covered her mouth and laughed: “Let’s go.”

This time, Fu Liye rode the bike much more steadily, but his dark face was flushed red, all the way to his neck.

Although Fu Liye was twenty-eight years old, this was the first time he had been so close to a young girl, he could even hear his own heartbeat.

Ji Xiaoyue asked him: “Why haven’t you gotten married yet? Didn’t you find someone you like?”

This topic seemed to have been discussed before.

Actually, what Ji Xiaoyue was curious about was that in the original book, Fu Liye helped Ji Qingqing many times, did he actually like Ji Qingqing? If he didn’t like her, why did he do everything she asked?

But if Fu Liye liked Ji Qingqing, in the later part of the original book, he was already a leader, why didn’t he end up with Ji Qingqing?

She just couldn’t figure it out, so she asked Fu Liye several times.

Fu Liye coughed, thinking that Ji Xiaoyue was still angry about Chen Baili, he chuckled: “Maybe I’m slow, I just don’t like them. But I do like you.”

He said with a red face.

Ji Xiaoyue didn’t say anything either, she just responded after a long time: “You’re not slow at all, I think you’re quite good at talking, you have a whole set of lines.”

…

The two of them didn’t speak along the way, Ji Xiaoyue was because she didn’t get any answers, she was still confused, plus although she was a modern person, she was still a single dog, she couldn’t resist the confession of Fu Liye, this straight man of steel.

She could be shy too.

When they arrived at Yan Guanshan’s residence, Ji Xiaoyue frowned when she saw his living environment: “Why does Uncle Yan live here?”

This was an old apartment building, the environment was terrible, and the building was already crumbling.

“Uncle Yan hasn’t been transferred back yet? Doesn’t the unit provide housing? This is even worse than the bullpen they lived in in Anhe Village.”

Fu Liye sighed helplessly: “Uncle Yan is stubborn, Grandpa found someone to arrange a good place for him, but he refused to go.”

He said, paused for a moment and said: “This is his house from back then. When he was sent down, his wife took his son abroad. I think he’s probably afraid they won’t be able to find him when they come back.”

Ji Xiaoyue was stunned, and instantly understood what Fu Liye meant.

People like Uncle Yan, who have this kind of temperament, are the most sentimental, he may be sarcastic and cynical, but actually, he misses his son and wife.

“Why did Aunt Yan get divorced back then.” Ji Xiaoyue asked softly.

“Various reasons, the main one is that he didn’t want his son and wife to suffer with him.”

The two of them talked as they entered the apartment building.

After climbing to the fifth floor, Ji Xiaoyue knocked on Yan Guanshan’s door.

As soon as the door opened, the room was in a mess.

Yan Guanshan had lived in Anhe Village for ten years, she knew that Uncle Yan was someone who couldn’t take care of himself, she looked at the situation, and stood at the door helplessly: “Uncle Yan, can I come in?”

The apartment building only had one room, the original area was small, but now it was so messy that there was no place to put your feet.

Yan Guanshan heard the sound, and poked his head out from inside: “Come in, come in.”

Ji Xiaoyue looked at the situation, hesitated for a moment and asked Yan Guanshan: “Uncle Yan, why don’t you come out, Fu Liye and I can’t get in.”

So, Yan Guanshan pushed aside a pile of things and walked out.

Ji Xiaoyue looked at Yan Guanshan, who was dressed in a messy way: “Uncle Yan, what did you do last night? How come you’re like this.”

Yesterday, he was elegant and refined when he went to the Fu family, but in just one night, he became a disheveled old man.

Yan Guanshan used his hand to comb his hair: “I was looking for something, I couldn’t find it. You’re here now, I wanted to give you my heirloom. But I can’t find it.”

Ji Xiaoyue couldn’t help but laugh: “Uncle Yan, you and Liye go out and buy some groceries, I’ll clean up the house and then cook for you.”

Yan Guanshan turned his head and glanced at the room, and nodded in agreement.

On the way, Yan Guanshan looked at Fu Liye, and snorted: “Are you really going to marry my Xiaoyue?”

Before, he thought Fu Liye was quite satisfactory, but now he’s become his Xiaoyue’s partner, he suddenly felt that this young man was not good enough, not worthy of his Xiaoyue.

“Yes! Xiaoyue and I are going to get our marriage certificate when we go back.” Fu Liye nodded.

Yan Guanshan heard this, his face turned dark: “No! I don’t agree to this marriage. Not only do I disagree, she also has four uncles, they have to agree before you two can get married.

My Xiaoyue may not have parents to support her, but she has us five old geezers. We five old geezers may not be very capable, but we all treat her like a daughter.”

Fu Liye was a little dumbfounded.

How come a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

“Uncle Yan, when I was a child, you also watched me grow up…”

The answer:

“I’m not that kind of person who does things recklessly,” Fu Liye said, getting anxious.

Yan Guanshan chuckled: “Men are all no good!”

He said this, arrogantly raising his head and walking away.

Fu Liye watched Yan Guanshan’s back, anxiously stepping forward: “Uncle Yan, how can you agree then?”

…

Ji Xiaoyue tidied up Yan Guanshan’s room and cooked two meals for him before leaving.

As she was leaving, she said solemnly: “When I get my university place back, I’ll come to Beijing to study. You can’t live like this, I’ll take care of you in the future.”

Yan Guanshan’s eyes immediately lit up when he heard this: “You’re coming to Beijing? When?”

Ji Xiaoyue smiled: “I don’t have any power or influence, so it’s not good to break with them.”

This matter of the university place, the original owner had actually gone to the Education Bureau to make a fuss when it was first taken away, but nothing came of it.

It was after that time that she came back from the Education Bureau, she was knocked unconscious by Ji Dahai, and when she woke up, she became a fool.

“Your Uncle Niu will be transferred soon. I’ll have Uncle Niu deal with them then,” Yan Guanshan said.

Ji Xiaoyue’s eyebrows and eyes curved into a smile when she heard this: “Uncle Niu is going? Then I’ll have a backer.”

When she left Yan Guanshan’s house, Yan Guanshan gave her a jade pendant: “This is your dowry.”

He gave the jade pendant to Ji Xiaoyue, but his face showed disapproval: “Even though I gave you a dowry, I still don’t approve of this marriage.”

He handed her the jade pendant and closed the door.

Ji Xiaoyue looked at the jade pendant in her hand, her heart feeling warm.

It was already late when they returned to the guesthouse from Yan Guanshan’s apartment building.

As soon as they returned to the guesthouse, Ji Xiaoyue saw a few familiar figures at the front desk.

Ji Qingqing, Ji Dahai, and Zhang Pingping.

They were looking at the door, and when they saw Ji Xiaoyue, they came forward: “Xiaoyue!”
