Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie found Duan Mingming beside the river at the entrance of the village.
Seeing that she was fine, Lu Yao asked Duan Mingjie to go back first.
Duan Mingjie was worried about them, so he waited for them not far away.
Lu Yao walked gently to Duan Mingming, and Duan Mingming stood up warily, "Who!"
Lu Yao smiled, "It seems that I learned something real in college."
Very vigilant.
Hearing Lu Yao's voice, Duan Mingming relaxed and called his sister-in-law in a low voice.
Lu Yao sat down next to her and patted the soft ground, "Sit down and cool down for a while."
Duan Mingming sat cross-legged next to Lu Yao, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice, "Sister-in-law, does everyone know that I was rejected by Tang Long?"
Hearing the sourness in her words, Lu Yao's heart ached. She turned around and faced Duan Mingming, "I can count all the people who know about it, and there are three of them who are our own family members. We don't have them." I'll tell you."
Duan Mingming lowered his head, "Sister-in-law, isn't it embarrassing to be rejected to this extent?"
"What's so embarrassing? Your third brother even rejected me!"
Hearing this, Duan Mingming looked at Lu Yao in disbelief, and then shook his head, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to belittle myself in such a way to comfort you. My third brother rejects you? You rejecting my third brother is just as good."
Everyone could see that her third brother was not good enough for Lu Yao, so how could he reject Lu Yao.
"If you don't believe me, go back and ask your third brother later. I want to marry him, but he doesn't want to."
Duan Mingming's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
"Sister-in-law, you're not making fun of me, are you?"
"Then there's no need for me to tease you with this matter. People in the village think it was your third brother who asked me to marry you. In fact, it was me who asked your third brother to marry me first. Your third brother was unwilling at first, so I said It took him a long time before he agreed, but your third brother wouldn’t let me tell anyone else.”
Duan Mingming was shocked and speechless.
After a while, "No, sister-in-law, what do you like about my third brother?"
Not only is he ugly, he also has a bad temper.
"Your third brother is the most reliable man in Duanjia Village. He is good to his wife and daughter. The most important thing is that your third brother is motivated."
Duan Mingming didn't know what to say.
Lu Yao held her hand and patted it, "Look, you are not the first girl to be rejected by a man. I have been rejected too. It's okay."
Duan Mingming twirled his fingers, "It's different. My third brother is eager to marry you home. He refuses you because he feels he is not worthy of you."
Thinking about himself again, Duan Mingming smiled bitterly, "But I'm different. Tang Long thinks I'm not worthy of him."
"Who said that!"
Lu Yao raised her voice, "I think Tang Long is not worthy of you!"
"You are so old that you won't be able to find a good one in the future. You are tall and beautiful. How many outstanding young people want to chase you? You can still live a good life without him!"
Lu Yao was not optimistic about this couple from the beginning. The deeds of Tang Long and his fiancée were very touching. She was moved when she heard it. It was understandable that Tang Long did not want to marry again, even if Tang Long was really willing to marry Mingming in the future. At the same time, he will still miss his lost fiancée in his heart.
The living are never as good as the dead.
Duan Mingming was very kind to her, and she hoped that Duan Mingming would marry a man who would devote himself to her.
"Many women cannot choose their own marriage. We are much luckier than them. Besides, we women do not have to rely on men or get married. If you think Tang Long is good now, it is because you love But no, there are many outstanding young people in our country. When you graduate, you will meet many outstanding officers and many outstanding young people from all walks of life. Maybe you won’t feel good about Tang Long by then."
Duan Mingming knew that Lu Yao was right, but she also knew that it would take time to forget.
Lu Yao continued, "Taking a step back, if you really can't find someone who is in love with you in the future, then there is no need to settle for marriage. It's good for us to be companions."
Duan Mingming smiled bitterly, "Mom won't agree. If I don't get married, she will feel embarrassed."
"You don't have to worry about Mom, just do what you want and leave the rest to me."
Duan Mingming looked at Lu Yao's blurred face through the night. Although he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, she could hear her determination from her voice.
Duan Mingming stretched out his arms and hugged Lu Yao.
Lu Yao hugged her and stroked her hair, "Cry if you want. Cry out all your sadness. After tonight, don't think about him again."
Duan Mingming nodded heavily, tears quickly wet the clothes on his shoulders.
Not far away, Duan Mingjie clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he listened to his sister's whimpering cries.
An hour later, Duan Mingming came to the river and washed his face, turned around and said to Lu Yao, "Sister-in-law, let's go home."
"After the banquet is over tomorrow, I will tell my dad that I will no longer give Tang Long any assignments at the National Defense University."
Hearing this, Duan Mingming smiled, "Sister-in-law, no need, I will graduate next year. If we don't perform the same task, we will never meet again."
Lu Yao didn't insist anymore and held her hand and walked back.
After walking dozens of meters, Duan Mingming discovered that the third brother was secretly protecting them.
Duan Mingming wrapped his lips, "Third brother..."
Duan Mingjie walked over and took her other hand, "Let's go home."
Duan Mingming was so moved that he burst into tears and called Third Brother with sobs.
Duan Mingjie awkwardly raised his hand to wipe away her tears, as if suppressing his anger, "Tang Long is not good at all. The eldest brother is the chief of staff of the special operations force. He has many outstanding officers under him, who are young and handsome. Let the eldest brother introduce them to you. , you look at it one by one, if you think it’s not suitable, it’s okay not to get married for the rest of your life, I, Duan Mingjie, can still afford to support my sister, I don’t think anyone dares to say anything wrong!”
After saying this, Duan Mingming burst into tears.
Lu Yao let go of her hand, Duan Mingming hugged Duan Mingjie's neck, buried her face in Duan Mingjie's chest and cried loudly.
Duan Mingjie gritted his teeth in anger and felt extremely distressed.
Lu Yao reminded from the side, "Okay, it's getting late, we have to go back quickly."
If Gu Fulan could hold on until now without finding her, it must be because her elder brother was holding her back.
But it can't be too late.
"If you go back with swollen eyes, your mother will become suspicious if she sees you."
Duan Mingming wiped his tears and said, "Let's go home."
The three of them returned home, and Duan Minghua was the only one left in the yard.
Duan Mingjie walked over and asked, "Has everyone else fallen asleep?"
Duan Minghua hummed, "My mother went to sleep with the second child, and everyone else also rested."
With that said, Duan Mingjie looked at Duan Mingming and said, "It's getting late. Go back to bed quickly. Comrade Zheng Jiajia has been waiting for you in the room."
Duan Mingming hummed softly, "Brother, I'm going to bed first."
Duan Minghua nodded, "Go ahead."
Seeing Duan Mingming return to the house, Duan Mingjie clenched his fists and looked at the room where Zheng Weiguo and Tang Long lived, "Brother, I want to beat Tang Long!"
