Chapter 183: Running into an Unexpected Person

Qian Sanni heard that there were many good things in the mountains and felt a pang of regret.

She rubbed her belly, feeling a bit wistful.

“Oh, what a pity. If I wasn’t carrying a little one, I would go with you every day.”

Li Xinyue smiled, “Come on, you’ll be so tired after just one trip that you’ll barely be able to walk, let alone go every day.”

“Besides, you’ve never dug this stuff before. Even if you tried, you wouldn’t be able to do it well. This is much harder to dig than the sand ginseng.”

Qian Sanni disagreed, “How can I not walk? It’s just that I slept in the next day.”

“Besides, I can learn if I don’t know how!”

It’s best for pregnant women to avoid going to the mountains too often. It’s fine once in a while, but if you go every day, you might have problems, and then it would be hard to explain.

Li Xinyue was straightforward, “You won’t be able to learn.”

“Oh, Xinyue, you’re saying I’m stupid?”

“Hahaha… You’re just a silly mommy!”

The two of them chatted and laughed, one winding yarn and the other drawing, and before they knew it, it was dark.

They thought it would rain, but the next day the sun came out.

After breakfast, Li Xinyue sent her son to daycare and then headed back home.

On the way, she was thinking about which mountain to explore today. It was too boring sitting at home. Unexpectedly, she bumped into someone…

“What’s wrong with you, walking around like you’re blind?”

She felt embarrassed after bumping into someone.

Li Xinyue quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was just thinking…”

Before she could finish the word “about,” she heard the person she bumped into let out a surprised cry, “Oh my god, Li Xinyue, it’s you?”

Who is this?

Does she know the original owner?

Before Li Xinyue could search her memory, the woman spoke again, “Li Xinyue, you’re amazing!”

“You actually found your way here? You’re so incredible!”

“Let me tell you, my brother is already married! Now, he’s your cousin-in-law!”

Seeing Li Xinyue, Qi Yan was genuinely shocked. She had no idea how Li Xinyue could be here.

The women who could enter this place were almost all military wives or had family members serving in the military.

But the Li family, there was no news of anyone serving in the military!

She was just a rural resident, shouldn’t she be married in the countryside, living a life of toiling from dawn till dusk?

Also, where did she get those clothes that fit her so well and looked so stylish?

How come she got so much prettier?

Is this really her?

She came here, most likely to find her brother!

Qi Yan was puzzled on one side, while Li Xinyue was equally confused on the other.

Finally, a wave of memories surged from the depths of her mind.

She knew who this was!

The woman in front of her was named Qi Yan, and her brother was named Qi Xiangdong. They were siblings.

Their father, Qi Anquan, was once the secretary of Hongling Commune.

The “cousin” Qi Yan mentioned, Wu Xiuzhi, was the daughter of the accountant at Hongling Commune Health Center, the daughter of the original owner’s father’s cousin.

The original owner, Qi Yan, and Wu Xiuzhi were classmates in junior high school.

Also, Qi Yan and her brother were the grandson and granddaughter of Li Xinyue’s maternal grandmother’s sister.

Once upon a time, the two families had considered marriage.

However, Qi Xiangdong didn’t like Li Xinyue because she was a rural resident and her whole family had a country bumpkin vibe.

Wu Xiuzhi, taking advantage of the fact that the original owner was related to the Qi family, deliberately befriended Qi Yan.

She was very good at pretending, and soon Qi Xiangdong secretly fell in love with her.

Although they were young at the time, people matured early in that era.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old girls already knew what it meant to like someone.

Qi Xiangdong joined the army at seventeen and returned the next year saying that close relatives were not allowed to marry in the new society.

He disagreed with the marriage to the original owner. Arranged marriages were a “four olds” behavior, and he insisted on disagreeing.

There was nothing they could do if he disagreed, so the Li family stopped mentioning it.

However, Grandpa Li knew that his granddaughter particularly liked Qi Xiangdong when he was in military uniform.

But he couldn’t do anything about it because Qi Xiangdong didn’t want to marry her.

The reason he asked the Chen family for a favor before he died was because Chen Mingchuan was also a soldier.

Moreover, Li Xinyue did have a crush on Chen Mingchuan at first sight.

After all, she was too young when she liked Qi Xiangdong, and secondly, Chen Mingchuan was much better looking!

So this memory was buried deep.

When Wu Xiuzhi was sixteen years old, her mother used her connections to get her into the Workers’ and Peasants and soldiers University.

It was said that she studied medicine, but they never saw her again.

As for Qi Yan, it was said that she went back to school after the school resumed classes.

Although she didn’t know if it was true or not, because the Qi family moved into the county town, the original owner hadn’t seen her in years either!

Unexpectedly, she met the siblings here today.

Indeed, the world is small!

Li Xinyue looked at Qi Xiangdong. He looked okay in his military uniform.

But compared to Chen Mingchuan, he was still far behind.

He was at most 170 cm tall, his features were also average, and because he wore glasses, he looked a bit intellectual.

In the countryside, he was indeed a good catch.

Unfortunately, he was too ordinary in this army full of handsome and strong men.

Li Xinyue disliked people who thought highly of themselves the most.

If you don’t like someone, then don’t like them. The original owner didn’t say she had to marry you.

But what kind of look is that?

And what kind of tone is that?

She raised her eyebrows and decided to stand up for the original owner.

“Qi Yan, do you think there’s only one man in the world?”

“I came here, do I have to be looking for your brother?”

“Who gave you the confidence to be so arrogant?”

Qi Yan: “…”

This Li Xinyue is still so annoying, sharp-tongued!

“Li Xinyue, you’re not here for my brother, then what are you doing here?”

“Don’t tell me you have other relatives here!”

“We are relatives, so I know everything about your Li family!”

“I’m telling you! No matter what you’re doing here, don’t say you know us, we don’t want anything to do with you!”

In her memory, the original owner and Qi Yan’s relationship wasn’t bad.

In her memory, she would even come to visit the original owner!

Now this person seems to hate the original owner?

They haven’t seen each other for seven or eight years!

What’s going on?

No matter what the situation was, Li Xinyue really looked down on people who looked down on others and flattered others.

“What am I doing here? I don’t have to tell you!”

“And I’m telling you: Qi Yan, I’m married! I have a son!”

“My husband is much better than your brother! I… I can’t stand him anymore!”

“To be honest, even if he washed my feet, I’d think his hands are too rough!”

She pointed in the direction of Qi Xiangdong.

Anyway, Qi Xiangdong didn’t appear in the book, so he definitely wasn’t a very successful person!

Li Xinyue never held back when she was insulting people who thought highly of themselves! Novel Book

“You! Li Xinyue, I didn’t expect you to be so ridiculous after all these years!”

As soon as she said that, Qi Yan’s face turned green!

She roared: “What are you? You can’t stand him?”

“I’m telling you, my brother is already a deputy battalion commander!”

“My sister-in-law went to the army with him not long ago, and she’s about to be assigned a formal job!”

“Can the person you married compare to my brother?”

“Don’t think you’re great just because you talk big, you really think you’re that great!”

“You? A person with a rural household registration, you can marry someone better than my brother? Dream on!”
