I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 223: Educated Youths in the Countryside in the 70s 12

Jiang Yuan knew that she was threatening him, and while he was angry, he was also secretly happy.

He was very confident and didn't think Fang Yun would know about his work. He had kept the matter a secret very well and no one in the village would know about it.

Of course, this also includes Fang Yun.

She would threaten him with his job. She must know how difficult it is for him to get a job. In this regard, she really had his weak spot.

On the other hand, Fang Yun did not hesitate to use his job to threaten him and tried every means to marry him. Doesn't this mean she likes him?

If you don't like him, why are you so eager to marry him?

However, he didn't like her. Before, he could persuade himself that marrying her was responsible for her, but now, even if she threatened him with his job and pinched his soft spot, he was still reluctant. He was so smart that he would definitely think of a way to not let people know that he was a temporary worker and he didn't have to marry her.

Seeing Jiang Yuan still hesitating, and thinking of the glorious scene she had seen him in her previous life, she was unwilling to give up just like that, so she said, "Brother Jiang Yuan, you know, I am an educated youth, and I live in the same room with Lin Qingyue in the educated youth compound."

As soon as she mentioned Lin Qingyue, Jiang Yuan looked over. Does he like her so much? Fang Yun thought jealously in her heart.

Since you are blocking my way, don't blame me for stepping on you to achieve my goal, Lin Qingyue.

"Lin Qingyue and I live in the same room. How could I not know what she said and did? I also knew that you liked her before, but she is not a good person."

"I heard her talking about you many times."

Jiang Yuan asked hurriedly: "What did Lin Zhiqing say about me?"

Fang Yun showed an indignant expression, and she said: "She said you are ignorant and shameless. She also said that she had rejected you, but you still came to her. In addition, she doesn't like you and will not marry a country bumpkin like you who has no ability."

Jiang Yuan was very angry after hearing this, and his words were questioning: "Did she really say that? You didn't lie to me?"

Fang Yun nodded. She had no guilt at all for saying bad things about Lin Qingyue behind her back. "Yes, I heard everything she said. I even had an argument with her because of it. But not only did she not apologize, she even scolded me as well."

"I have been having a hard time in the Youth Hostel in order to help you. If you don't marry me, I really can't hold on in the Youth Hostel. Otherwise, I'd rather die."

After saying that, she started crying.

Jiang Yuan was feeling angry, but he had no place to vent.

He was a little skeptical about Fang Yun's words at first, but Fang Yun spoke very sincerely, so he believed what she said.

There was no need for her to lie to him about this matter.

Besides, Fang Yun and Lin Zhiqing lived in the same room, so how could Fang Yun not know what Lin Zhiqing said?

It seems that Lin Zhiqing really misses him in her heart as Fang Yun said. Unexpectedly, in Lin Zhiqing's heart, he is actually a shameless person.

Originally, he was thinking of marrying Lin Zhiqing after he had made things clear with Fang Yun, but now there was no need for that.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and looked at Fang Yun in front of him. He had to admit that Fang Yun had become his best choice now.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, marrying Fang Yun is not a bad idea, not only because she likes him.

Another thing she meant was that her parents loved her as a daughter, so as their son-in-law, wouldn't they help him for the sake of their daughter, such as helping him become a city dweller or something?

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he was no longer opposed to marrying Fang Yun.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan said, "I will marry you. Don't worry. I will discuss the time of marrying you with my mother when I go home."

Hearing him say this, Fang Yun was very happy in her heart. She felt that she was closer to living the life of a rich wife. She said shyly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to marry me, Brother Jiang Yuan. We will definitely live a good life."

After the two of them had agreed, they went back separately.

After Jiang Yuan returned home, he went straight to the main room.

Because he was the only child in his family, and his parents wanted him to have a better life, they worked actively every time they went to the fields. Although they did not earn full work points every day, the work points they earned over the years added up to a lot.

Normally, Jiang's father and mother would take on some work during their slack season and earn some money.

So his family lived well. Not only did they build a brick and tile house, but they also had some savings.

Jiang Yuan sat down at the table as soon as he entered the house. When Jiang's mother saw her son coming back, she immediately smiled and said, "Son, where have you been? Why did you come back so late? I steamed some white flour buns for you today. Eat a few more."

As she spoke, she took the white flour bun out of the pot, put it on a plate and then placed it in front of her son.

"Okay, Dad, Mom, you eat too." Jiang Yuan said.

Father Jiang sat on the side and smoked a pipe. He said, "You eat first, don't worry about us."

As Jiang Yuan was eating, he mentioned that he was going to marry Fang Yun: "Dad, Mom, I told you before that I wanted to marry Fang Yun, an educated youth. When do you think it would be appropriate to marry her in, and how much do you think we should give her as a betrothal gift?"

When Jiang's mother heard about this, she was not happy at all about her son's marriage. She just felt that Fang Yun was here to snatch her son away from her.

Moreover, she always felt that Fang Yun was an uneasy person. Marrying such a person would be like marrying a troublemaker.

What sensible person would hold on to someone and insist on relying on her son after he or she falls into the water?

Maybe she fell into the water on purpose so that her son could save her and enter her house. In her heart, she didn't want such a person to be her daughter-in-law.

She definitely didn't really like her son. She must have chosen her son because she heard from the villagers that her son had a job in the city and was eating commercial grain.

Thinking of this, she was very repulsive to Fang Yun. She said, "Son, I don't like Fang Zhiqing to be my daughter-in-law. She looks restless. Otherwise, don't marry her. I'll ask the matchmaker to find you a good one."

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Mom, I'm working in the city, how can I marry someone from the village? I think Fang Yun is quite suitable. She is from the city and is worthy of me."

Jiang's mother was still unwilling: "But..."

Jiang Yuan put down his chopsticks and said, "Mom, you don't have to say anything. I'm going to marry Fang Yun."

Jiang's mother had always doted on her only son and had never said anything harsh to him, so she could only look at the child's father, hoping that he would say something: "Dad, what do you think?"

Father Jiang was silent for a while and then said, "Just listen to our son. He is right. He has a job in the city now, so he should marry a city girl."
