Chapter 8.2

In front of Lu Qing, Lu Dazhou couldn’t say anything, so he could only make an excuse for her to go find his mother.

When only Lu Dazhou and Jiang Yao were left in the main hall, he couldn’t wait to say, “Jiang Yao, how could you go to Lu Che’s house to live? Don’t you know their background?”

“Why can’t I live in their house?” Jiang Yao said, “Their background may not be good, but aren’t they actively reforming themselves? Most of the members of the production team are now looking down on us educated youth, but they are willing to let me stay. This shows progress in their thinking. They are helping to alleviate the urgent needs of the production team. Captain, you should praise them and thank them.”

“…” Jiang Yao’s words were flawless, Lu Dazhou couldn’t even interject, he could only change the angle and say, “What kind of person is Lu Che, haven’t you heard?”

“The members have different opinions on Lu Che, I can’t judge which ones are true and which ones are false. But they all say ‘seeing is believing’. I haven’t been in the countryside for long, but every time I see him, he’s working hard. Like during the previous rush, he was always the first to come and the last to leave, unlike some strong young men who love to be lazy, and any woman can outwork them. Also, the tractor from a few days ago was fixed by him. I heard from the members of the team that whenever the production team’s things need fixing, he’s the one who does it.”

Lu Dazhou listened, speechless.

In fact, all these words were made up by Jiang Yao. In the original owner’s memory, Lu Che was not present at all. However, in the future, he would definitely become a business tycoon, so he must be a hard-working person.

Sure enough, she guessed right.

“That’s what it is.” Lu Dazhou didn’t beat around the bush anymore. “Their family background isn’t good. If you move in with them, aren’t you afraid your records will look bad in the future? These records are related to whether you can return to the city for work or be recommended to go to university.

“Also, Lu Che is an unmarried young man, and his father has a criminal record for hooliganism in the past. Aren’t you afraid of spreading any bad rumours by moving in with them?”

Lu Dazhou’s words were harsh, but Jiang Yao could tell he was genuinely concerned for her. She said playfully, “Aren’t my records all written by you, Captain? As long as you write them nicely, they’ll definitely look good. As for your second question, as long as there are people with malicious tongues, as long as there’s a man in that household, whether married or not, there will always be nasty rumours.”

“…” Lu Dazhou couldn’t say anything.

After leaving Lu Dazhou’s house, Lu Qing had to go to work. She told Jiang Yao, “You tidy up your things first. When you’re ready, I’ll have Lu Che come over to help you move your luggage.”

Jiang Yao moving into their house would surely attract gossip, so it was better to be straightforward from the beginning instead of being secretive.

“Alright, I’ll go tidy up now. Let Lu Che come over tomorrow morning to help me move. Coming early is fine, as long as it doesn’t delay his work.” Jiang Yao said.

“Okay, be careful when you go back.”

When Jiang Yao returned to the educated youth dormitory, only Zhu Xia was there. Zhu Xia saw her and said excitedly, “Yao Yao, I found a place to stay. Mr. Tian and Mrs. Tian agreed to take me in.”

“That’s great.” Jiang Yao said with a smile, “The Tian family isn’t too complicated, and Mr. and Mrs. Tian are kind-hearted.”

“Yeah, I’m really lucky this time.” Zhu Xia grabbed Jiang Yao and said, “When you find someone to stay with, remember to keep your eyes open and choose someone with a good background, preferably with fewer people in the household, especially no unmarried young men. You know you look delicate…”

Blah blah blah, after talking for a long time, Zhu Xia realised that Jiang Yao had also gone out and asked, “Did you go out to find someone to stay with?”

“I did, and I found someone.”

“… Who?”

“Lu Che’s house.”

“…” Zhu Xia couldn’t believe it. When she realised it, she said excitedly, “How could you go to his house? Aren’t you going against what I said?”

“Not really, his family doesn’t have many people.”

“…”

No matter how Zhu Xia tried to persuade her, Jiang Yao was determined to move into Lu Che’s house.

During dinner, everyone expressed concern about Jiang Yao’s move after knowing she was going to Lu Che’s house, whether directly or indirectly advising her not to go. Of course, this didn’t include Du YueJiao; she was simply ecstatic and would burst into laughter if she were the only one there.

After taking a shower in the evening, Jiang Yao arranged the bowls and cups and then went to bed. She slept soundly, looking forward to a beautiful tomorrow.

The next day, Jiang Yao got up early, changed her clothes, washed up, and Lu Qing and Lu Che came with a bullock cart.

Lu Qing was as enthusiastic as ever towards Jiang Yao, and although Lu Che had a cold face, he worked diligently and quickly moved her large and small boxes and bags out.

Just as Jiang Yao was about to help, Lu Qing stopped her and took out a sweet potato, saying, “It’s early, you definitely haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Hurry up and eat. Let Lu Che move the stuff.”

Helping with the move was one thing, but getting breakfast as well was too good of a treatment. Those who spoke ill of Lu’s family last night suddenly felt embarrassed.

“Thank you, Sister Qing.” Jiang Yao didn’t hesitate to accept the sweet potato and started peeling it.

But before she could take a bite, an unexpected guest arrived.

Zhao Pengfei had just heard that Jiang Yao was going to live in Lu Che’s house, so he rushed over to the educated youth point without even eating breakfast.

Before he reached the entrance of the educated youth point, he saw a man moving things out from inside.

Zhao Pengfei quickly walked over, grabbed Lu Che’s arm, and gritted his teeth, “Don’t move. Yao Yao won’t go to your house to live.”

“Let go.” Lu Che coldly glanced at Zhao Pengfei and said, “Who are you? Do you have the qualifications to manage her affairs?”
