Chapter 210 Yang Qiong’s Complaint
Because of Liu Changlong’s righteous action, he and Xu Yan got to know each other.
Xu Yan’s first impression of Liu Changlong was very good, and during the conversation, she also learned that Liu Changlong was actually a relative of Xie Jiagui.
Xu Yan told Liu Changlong that she was Zhong Xiuying’s cousin.
When Liu Changlong heard this, it was a coincidence.
If you calculate it this way, the two people can be called relatives.
In order to express her gratitude, Xu Yan said that she would not charge Liu Changlong for buying clothes and gave him the clothes Liu Changlong selected.
How could Liu Changlong be willing to do it?
He felt that he had just done a small thing, how could he take advantage of it.
And it is not easy for Xu Yan to open a store as a woman.
Liu Changlong said that he could never get someone else's things for free, so he gave Xu Yan the money to buy clothes and left.
Xu Yan felt more and more that Liu Changlong was a good person.
Later, when he arrived at the imperial kitchen, Zhong Xiuying asked about Liu Changlong.
Xu Yan then learned that Liu Changlong could be regarded as a miserable person. He had been suffering from emotional setbacks and was still alone at a very old age.
However, when Xu Yan heard that Liu Changlong was single, she felt a little happy.
She had a good impression of Liu Changlong. The reason why I didn't express it before was because I was afraid that Liu Changlong would have a family, so as not to cause trouble to Liu Changlong.
Zhong Xiuying saw the difference in her cousin's attitude towards Liu Changlong, so she told Xie Jiagui about it.
Xie Jiagui came forward to formally introduce Xu Yan to Liu Changlong on the pretext of introducing Liu Changlong to a blind date.
As for Liu Changlong, he also learned about Xu Yan’s past events through Xie Jiagui.
Xu Yan was very aggressive about what her ex-husband did, and she only stopped after her ex-husband's reputation became as stinky as a cesspool.
Because of this, people in the village gossiped about Xu Yan, saying that no one would dare to marry such an unreasonable and unforgiving woman in the rest of her life.
Xu Yan herself doesn't care about these gossips, but she can't stand others gossiping.
This is also the reason why Xu Yan rarely returns to the village.
Xie Jiagui was originally worried that Liu Changlong would have a bad impression of Xu Yan because she heard that Xu Yan deliberately wrote a big-character poster to tarnish his reputation in order to retaliate against her ex-husband.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Changlong heard this, he not only did not say anything bad about Xu Yan, but said that Xu Yan's ex-husband deserved it.
Liu Changlong really admires women like Xu Yan who dare to love and hate.
He also admired Xu Yan very much.
Facing a cheating and domestically violent husband, Xu Yan did not just endure it like traditional women. Instead, she took the initiative and not only obtained custody of the child, but also drove her ex-husband out of the village.
As the captain of the brigade, Liu Changlong also saw many wronged women in the village.
They endured it for the sake of their children, family harmony, and a good reputation.
Once you endure it, it lasts a lifetime.
Liu Changlong felt sorry for them, but as an outsider, he couldn't interfere.
After all, it is difficult for an upright official to stop family affairs.
The women Xu Yan and Liu Changlong knew before were different.
Moreover, given the situation at that time, if Xu Yan had not decided to deal with her ex-husband, she would not have done anything wrong.
Perhaps until now, Xu Yan is still entangled by her ex-husband, so it would be impossible to have the career she has now.
Liu Changlong and Xu Yan gradually became fond of each other, and they naturally became good friends.
However, because of what happened to Yang Qiong before, Liu Changlong no longer wants outsiders to know what his love life is like.
Xu Yan respects Liu Changlong’s wishes.
She also knew that Liu Changlong's previous relationship with Yang Qiong was well known to everyone, and it ended in a mess.
It can be said to have caused a psychological shadow to Liu Changlong.
So the relationship between the two can be regarded as an underground love affair.
Now that the dust has finally settled, Liu Changlong and Xu Yan obtained their certificates at the city’s Civil Affairs Bureau last Friday.
The two are now a legal couple, and it's time to go back and announce Xu Yan's identity to everyone.
Liu Changlong took Xu Yan's hand and returned to the village. Needless to say, the relationship between the two was immediately obvious.
When I met people in the village on the road, they were all shocked: "Captain, is this your girlfriend?"
Liu Changlong was a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many pairs of eyes. He said, "I'm not my girlfriend, I'm my daughter-in-law."
When Xu Yan heard this, her heart felt as sweet as honey, and a shy smile appeared on her face.
Seeing the two couples so intimate, everyone in the village winked.
Liu Changlong, who has been single for many years, is finally going to have a family. This is a big event in the village.
The villagers all asked questions, and most of the questions were about Xu Yan.
Ask her which village she is from, how long she has known Liu Changlong, and how far they have developed.
Xu Yan's face was a little embarrassed. She didn't know who to answer so many questions at the moment.
Liu Changlong stood in front of Xu Yan and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, don't ask. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Seeing that Liu Changlong was protecting Xu Yan tightly, the villagers even deliberately made noises.
Liu Changlong rolled his eyes at them and quickly sent Xu Yan home to prevent these people from coming to pry about this or that.
Xu Yan was sitting in the main room and said with a smile: "The people in the village are quite enthusiastic."
Liu Changlong poured a glass of warm water for Xu Yan: "Don't be too honest. Just answer whatever they ask. These people are just joining in the fun."
Xu Yan nodded: "I understand."
At this moment, there was a "bang bang" knock on the door.
Liu Changlong went out and opened the door. When he saw the person coming, Liu Changlong was stunned for a moment.
The people who came were not the villagers watching the excitement, but Yang Qiong.
The smile on Liu Changlong's face faded, and he asked her out of politeness: "Yang Qiong, what can I do for you?"
Yang Qiong felt a little sour in her heart when she heard Liu Changlong's unfamiliar tone.
I vaguely remember how caring Liu Changlong was to me in the past, and how passionately he looked at me.
However, times have changed, and now she is worse than a stranger to Liu Changlong.
The cold eyes of Yang Qiong and Liu Changlong met, and they felt timid.
But when Yang Qiong thought of what Xue Ningxiang said to herself, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth: "Changlong, I know you are still blaming me for the past. I really had my reasons at that time. I... hope Can you forgive me, please?”
Yang Qiong looked at Liu Changlong anxiously, but what she didn't expect was that Liu Changlong's face was very calm, and he nodded quickly: "Okay, I forgive you."
Liu Changlong really has no feelings for Yang Qiong anymore, not even resentment. In Liu Changlong’s heart, Yang Qiong is now the same as other villagers in the village.
As soon as she heard this, Yang Qiong was extremely happy, and there was a smile on her lips.
Liu Changlong actually forgave her so easily. Does this mean that Liu Changlong still has her in his heart?
In other words, Liu Changlong has been waiting for him to come back to find her for so many years.
Yang Qiong was suddenly overwhelmed and excited by the thoughts that came to her.
She was about to ask Liu Changlong if he wanted to start over with her.
A female voice came from inside the house: "Changlong, who is outside?"
Xu Yan sat in the main room for a long time and did not see Liu Changlong come back.
She felt a little strange, so she couldn't help but asked aloud.
Yang Qiong heard the female voice coming from Liu Changlong's house, and the expression on her face went blank for a moment.
When did Liu Changlong have a woman in his house?
And he also called Liu Changlong "Changlong".
Yang Qiong was panicked and couldn't help blurting out: "Are there any guests at your house?"
Liu Changlong shook his head: "She is not a guest, she is my wife."
Yang Qiong's face suddenly froze, and Liu Changlong's words were like a basin of ice water pouring down her heart.
Since when did Liu Changlong have a daughter-in-law?
Isn’t he single?
Yang Qiong moved her lips. She wanted to ask who Liu Changlong's wife was.
Liu Changlong was not prepared to stand at the door and continue chatting with Yang Qiong. Liu Changlong said, "Do you have anything else important? If not, I will go in."
Yang Qiong shook his head as stiffly as a piece of wood, and then left.
Liu Changlong also returned to the main room, and Xu Yan asked him who he had been chatting with for so long.
Liu Changlong didn’t want to hide it from Xu Yan, so he said it was Yang Qiong.
That is, the person he was talking about in his last relationship.
Xu Yan: "That woman who thought you were going to jail for the rest of your life, so she ran away out of fear of getting herself involved?"
Liu Changlong: "It's her."
Xu Yan sneered.
How can this woman have the nerve to come to Liu Changlong?
When people are in trouble, they run away without saying anything.
Even friends would generally not do such unloyal things, let alone Yang Qiong who was still Liu Changlong’s partner at that time.
Although Xu Yan didn't have a good impression of Yang Qiong, she was a little lucky.
It was precisely because of Yang Qiong's ignorance that she had the opportunity to be with Liu Changlong.
Yang Qiong was walking on the road with a pale face. Only then did she hear the surrounding villagers chattering about Liu Changlong and his partner.
“Captain, his partner is tall and fair. The clothes he wears are also very nice.”
“Two people stand together as if they were opposite each other. What a match!”
“Didn’t he say that the captain called him his wife? Have the two of them already received their certificates?”
"I think most of them have already received the certificate and have gone back to live in the same house. If they haven't received the certificate, they won't be afraid of people gossiping."
The villagers were discussing excitedly, and Yang Qiong quickened his pace after hearing these words.
almost jogged all the way back home.
Xue Ningxiang saw Yang Qiong coming back, stood up and asked with a smile: "Mom, how are things going between you and the captain?"
Xue Ningxiang didn’t go out all day today and had no idea what was happening in the village.
Yang Qiong is embarrassed because of Liu Changlong's incident.
Fortunately, she didn't say anything about getting back together to Liu Changlong, otherwise, she would have been really embarrassed.
Especially when she thought that Liu Changlong’s daughter-in-law was still in the back room, Yang Qiong felt that she was not trying to be a mistress?
As soon as he heard Xue Ningxiang's question, Yang Qiong took his anger out on her and said aggrievedly: "What else can I do? Liu Changlong is already married, what else can I do with him?"
Xue Ningxiang was stunned: "Uncle Changlong is married? Is this true or false? Mom, are you sure? Didn't it mean that Uncle Changlong doesn't even have a partner? How could he get married inexplicably? Is there something wrong with this? Misunderstand…"
Yang Qiong: "How could there be another misunderstanding? Liu Changlong brought his wife back to the village. Now the news has spread throughout the village. I heard his wife's voice when I just went to find him. You said, still What misunderstanding can there be?"
At this point, Yang Qiong felt extremely embarrassed, "Ningxiang, what do you think you came up with? Fortunately, I haven't had time to tell Liu Changlong about getting back together, otherwise I would have really embarrassed myself today. "
Xue Ningxiang was really anxious when she heard Yang Qiong's tone, and quickly comforted her: "Mom, don't be angry. I didn't expect that Uncle Changlong would get married quietly in private. I did it for your own good." , it would be a good thing for us if you and Uncle Changlong could get back together."
After Xue Ningxiang and Yang Qiong moved back to the village, they basically became marginalized figures in the village.
Because they have not interacted with people in the village for so many years, the relationship between the people in the village and them has long been alienated.
Coupled with what happened to Liu Changlong, what Yang Qiong did was not honest at the beginning, so this also caused the villagers to dislike Yang Qiong and Xue Ningxiang's mother and daughter, and no one wanted to come to socialize with them.
It was precisely because Xue Ningxiang realized this that she wanted to help Yang Qiong and Liu Changlong get back together.
If Yang Qiong and Liu Changlong get back together, they will no longer be marginalized in the village.
Furthermore, more importantly, someone will also pay for Xue Ningxiang’s tuition and living expenses at the Imperial Film School.
The tuition for the Imperial Film Academy costs five to six thousand for an academic year, and it has to be paid in one lump sum.
Including living expenses and the like, Xue Ningxiang had to scrape together at least 8,000 yuan to take with her to school in Beijing.
Xue Tingting has all the income from the odd and odd dramas that Xue Ningxiang has filmed over the years.
Neither she nor Yang Qiong had any money.
Yang Qiong also relies on Xue Tingting for living expenses every month.
Xue Ningxiang’s eyes darkened.
I didn’t expect that life would be so difficult after leaving Xue Tingting.
It is indeed true to say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
When school starts, Xue Ningxiang can only lower her head to find Xue Tingting and ask for money, otherwise she won't even be able to read.
Xue Ningxiang felt a little frustrated.
Xue Tingting has controlled her in almost every detail over the years. Xue Tingting even wanted to become Xue Ningxiang's future agent.
Xue Ningxiang has long been dissatisfied with Xue Tingting.
She is not a puppet who can be manipulated at will, nor does she like to do whatever others ask her to do.
Originally, when she returned to the village this time, Xue Ningxiang wanted to take this opportunity to escape from Xue Tingting's control.
Who knew it couldn’t be done at all.
Xue Ningxiang had never worried about money before using the money given by Xue Tingting. Now she realizes that it is difficult to do anything without money.
So, economic independence is the prerequisite for everything.
