Chapter 180: She Still Had a Soft Heart

Should Xu Yang and Liu Guilian get a divorce?

Li Xinyue: “…”

What did it have to do with her whether these two got divorced or not?

“Forget it, forget it, for the sake of the child, let’s not get involved.”

“I’m not being kind, it’s just that the child is pitiful.”

“Although Liu Guilian isn’t a good person, she’s still the biological mother.”

“If they really break up, the child will have a stepmother.”

“With a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and besides, this Xu guy isn’t a good person either.”

“He and Liu Guilian are a perfect match, it’s better if they don’t have a son.”

Alright.

Not having a son for a family meant no heir.

People in this era, if they didn’t have an heir, it was a big concern.

Just don’t go helping this Xu Yang, let him remarry a young wife and have a son to take care of him in his old age!

Ma Zhen was just holding a grudge in her heart, and when she heard Li Xinyue say this, she didn’t insist anymore.

“Alright, you’re just too soft-hearted!”

Was she soft-hearted?

No.

As an orphan, she knew too well the loneliness and pity of growing up, she could be rude to anyone, but not to children.

Li Xinyue laughed, hugged Ma Zhen and sang…

“You’re always too soft, too soft, you carry everything on your own!”

“Love is simple, but getting along is too difficult, what’s not yours, don’t force it!”

Ma Zhen: “…”

What kind of divine song is this? It’s so good!

“Sister Xinyue, this song, isn’t it another one you heard from the demobilized soldiers?”

“…”

Li Xinyue: Okay, she got carried away again!

“Yeah, it’s nice, isn’t it?”

“But I only know these few lines, the rest I can only hum, I haven’t memorized all the lyrics.”

“Nice! I want to learn it!”

Li Xinyue: “…”

This song in this era, is it a bit… forget it, I’ll be more careful next time, don’t cause any trouble later…

“I can only hum!”

Ma Zhen had a natural talent for music, and she was also a professional.

“No problem!”

“It’s late at night and you don’t want to sleep, are you still thinking about him?”

“Are you so heartbroken, you know he won’t come back to comfort you?”

“You just want to love someone well, but he can’t give you a perfect score…”

“Love is simple, but getting along is too difficult, what’s not yours, don’t force it!”

“Love is simple, but getting along is too difficult, what’s not yours, don’t force it!”

As she learned, Ma Zhen cried.

“Sister Xinyue, I know you wrote this yourself, no one else can write a song like this! This is your heart speaking.”

Li Xinyue: “…”

Xiao Chong, I didn’t mean to steal your song, it’s just that your song is so good that I can’t help but hum a few lines…

“Ma Zhen, I don’t have that talent.”

But Ma Zhen was convinced: “You do! Sister Xinyue, you do!”

“Maybe you haven’t realized it yourself, but I know you have it!”

“This song is so beautiful, but you can’t perform it, otherwise people will be shocked!”

In this era, songs about love were to be criticized!

“Ma Zhen, I can also sing another touching song, do you want to hear it?”

Ma Zhen’s eyes lit up: “Of course! Sing it, I want to hear it!”

“You Are Who” this famous song, Li Xinyue loved it the most, every time she went to KTV, she would sing it loud…

After singing, Ma Zhen was stunned.

“Sister Xinyue, what other songs can you sing?”

There are many!

But this kind of red song, she really had to think about it, she didn’t sing it often…

“I can’t think of any right now, when I remember, I’ll sing them for you.”

“Okay!”

Ma Zhen was very excited. She was going to go back and set this song “Who Are You” to music. She believed that one day she would be able to sing it!

With this little interlude, she completely forgot about the matter of the Xu official’s family.

At this moment, she didn’t know that after Liu Guilian had scolded Liu Xiao and Liu Acui, she had started to scold her as well.

Of course, even if she did know, Li Xinyue wouldn’t bother with her.

You become the kind of person you associate with, so she didn’t want to have anything to do with Liu Guilian.

Taking advantage of the good weather, she went up the mountain again in the afternoon.

In a time when no one was digging herbs, they were everywhere.

Especially that patch of Polygonatum odoratum, they were big and strong. After being steamed and dried seven times, they became Xiao Yiheng’s favorite snack.

She dug them all over the eastern mountains.

Of course, the full tank of gasoline that Xiao Nan had filled before she left was also used up.

There were no gas stations nearby, and the outside world was still chaotic, so Li Xinyue didn’t go further up the mountain.

On the 26th, because it had rained the night before, she didn’t go up the mountain.

The herbs she had just dug up were all large red vines, a good medicine for activating blood circulation, which could treat many ailments.

After sending her son back, she started working.

“Xinyue, Xinyue.”

Qian Sanni’s voice came from outside. She immediately went out: “I’m here, what’s wrong?”

“I brought my fellow villager’s mother here. Can you take her to see the vegetable patch?”

“Aunt Zheng, this is  Captain Chen’s family member, Xiao Li.”

Aunt Zheng  was about fifty years old, although her clothes were old, they were very clean.

And her hair was neatly combed.

Li Xinyue liked clean and tidy people, so she closed the door and took them to Xiao Nan’s backyard.

The land had been turned over, and many vegetables had already been planted.

“Aunt Zheng, it’s all yours from now on.”

“What to plant and how to plant it is up to you. If you can’t turn over the soil, just call me.”

Aunt Zheng immediately waved her hand: “No, no, it’s such a small thing, why would I need you to call me?”

“Don’t worry, in a month, I guarantee you’ll have vegetables to eat.”

“But at this time of year, there won’t be too many varieties, cabbage, napa cabbage, radish, and green vegetables will definitely not be missing.”

Without a greenhouse, it was impossible to grow out-of-season vegetables.

Li Xinyue was really not good at gardening, but she had an idea.

“Auntie, I’ll get some plastic and wood later, how about we build a greenhouse?”

A greenhouse?

Aunt Zheng blinked: “Like the kind of greenhouse used to grow seedlings in the spring in the countryside? Surrounded by plastic?”

“Yes, yes, the vegetables will have a hard time growing when it gets cold in winter.”

“We’ll build a greenhouse then, and plant some green vegetables, spinach, coriander, celery, what do you think?”

Aunt Zheng clapped her hands: “That’s no problem, I’m a master at growing seedlings at home!”

“Okay! Xiao Li, you just need to get the stuff, I’ll build the shed!”

G City wasn’t in the north, but winter was still very cold, damp and cold.

This wasn’t the future, where southern vegetables could be transported all over the country. So if they could solve their own vegetable problem in winter, that would be great.

Li Xinyue was a little excited: “Okay, I’ll go find someone to buy some.”

As they were talking about planting vegetables, suddenly Qian Sanni ran over: “Xinyue, Xinyue, come home quickly, someone’s come to your house!”

Someone came to her house?

Li Xinyue’s heart skipped a beat: “Who?”

“The head of the cadre department, he brought a few people to your house!”

The cadre department should be in charge of cadres, right? Did they come to her house because of Chen Mingchuan?

Thinking of this name, Li Xinyue’s heart beat faster, and she ran…
