Chapter 165: Chapter 166: Lu Daya Falls in Love

Sun Lifang looked at her with suspicion all over her face. “Really?”

Gao Guihua hurriedly nodded with a face full of sincerity.

Sun Lifang was temporarily convinced.

However, Xu Ying wasn’t so easily fooled. Gao Guihua was the type never to do anything without a profit in mind; she must be waiting for something from her.

Xu Ying didn’t know what scheming was going on, but she received some good news: her little uncle was getting married.

“How come it’s so sudden, they haven’t even gotten engaged, have they?” Xu Ying had just heard about this big news during her rest break when she went back home.

Mrs. Xu didn’t think much of it, sewing clothes in her hands, she said, “What’s so sudden about it? Once the New Year is over, your little uncle will be twenty-four, and your little aunt isn’t young either, nearly twenty-three.

In our countryside, that’s not young at all. The family next door to your little uncle’s has a boy of the same age, and his son is already over three years old.”

Otherwise, her mother wouldn’t be so anxious about her younger brother’s marriage matters.

Xu Ying felt there was reason in these words.

But she didn’t want to get married that early, at least not until after she turned twenty.

Moreover, in almost another two years, the national college entrance exams would be restored, and she didn’t want to take the exams or attend school with a big belly. How tiring that would be.

“By the way, Daya came to look for you a while ago, but you were too busy then, and Daya went back. It looked like she had something to tell you, do you want to go find Sister Daya?” Mrs. Xu asked.

As soon as Xu Ying heard it was Lu Daya, she got up and stood: “Mom, I’ll go find Sister Daya.”

“Okay, remember to come back for lunch,” Mrs. Xu called out.

Xu Ying had already dashed away without a trace.

She hurried to find Lu Daya.

“Sister Daya, my mom said you came to find me a few days ago? What’s up, is there something wrong?” Xu Ying asked curiously.

Lu Daya’s face was flushed and she looked all bashful.

Xu Ying wasn’t a fool; she could tell this girl had a love interest.

She blinked mischievously and teased, “Why is your face red? Don’t tell me you’re talking about getting a boyfriend!”

Lu Daya was shocked, her pupils dilating, “How did you know?”

Xu Ying feigned mystery, “I figured it out by finger-guessing.”

Lu Daya was immediately extremely curious, “Then do you know who my boyfriend is? Can you figure that out too?”

This question stumped Xu Ying; she wasn’t really a fortune teller, but Xu Ying still played along, “Let me guess, is the guy a coworker?”

Lu Daya nodded excitedly, her eyes shining as she looked at Xu Ying as if she was some kind of genius.

“Is he also quite handsome?”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

No surprise there, love makes beauty in the lover’s eyes – even if not handsome, he’d look handsome to her.

“Is he taller than you?”

“Yes!”

There were only a few male teachers at the commune. Xu Ying had met most of them when she went to the commune to see Director Sun.

Definitely not her second brother, and the other two male teachers were out of the question too, since they were married. Lu Daya wouldn’t be foolish enough to seek out a divorced older man.

That left only a few female teachers, and Xu Ying found herself at a loss.

His complexion quickly turned extremely bad, “Is it Sun Yiliang?”

Lu Daya was even happier now, looking at Xu Ying with full admiration, “Yingying, how come you’re so smart, how do you know everything!”

But Xu Ying didn’t share her joy, Sun Yiliang definitely wasn’t a good guy.

In her past life, he was Chen Yanran’s lapdog, helping her do no shortage of dirty work. How did he end up with Daya in this life? Could it be Chen Yanran’s doing?

“Sister Daya, do your parents know about you and Sun Yiliang dating?”

Lu Daya shook her head, “They don’t know, I haven’t dared to tell my parents yet. Besides, Yiliang said that our relationship isn’t stable yet. We will wait until it’s stable and we want to get married before we tell them.”

Xu Ying couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation at her words, what does ‘wait until we want to get married to say anything’ mean? Isn’t that just messing around?

Dating should be aimed towards marriage, not wait to mention it until breaking up.

Without any official standing, sneaking around together, what’s the point? And nowadays, a girl’s reputation is so important, this man clearly just doesn’t want to take responsibility.

“Sister Daya, don’t be fooled. If you two like each other and are dating, why not tell your families?

What’s his intention? He plans to date you, and then once he’s had enough, he’ll break up. After all, no one knows you were dating. Even if you didn’t want to break up later, if he denies your relationship, it won’t affect him at all.”

Lu Daya looked uncertain, “Yiliang isn’t that kind of person, right?”

Xu Ying knew that Lu Daya probably wouldn’t believe anything she said right now; after all, a woman in love tends to be brainless.

She said with a smile, “It’s just a guess after all. But you need to trust your own feelings. We girls must protect our reputations, so be careful not to do anything over the line.”

On hearing this, Lu Daya’s face turned as red as a monkey’s butt, and she quickly nodded, “I definitely won’t.”

Xu Ying didn’t know what else to say, so she could only nod in agreement.

Lu Daya kept talking non-stop, “Do you know Sun Yujuan? She’s actually Yiliang’s younger sister.”

Xu Ying pretended to be shocked.

Lu Daya continued, “Since I’m with Yiliang now, his sister is my sister. I was thinking of having Yujuan come to live with me at my place. What do you think?”

She hadn’t dared to tell her mom about this, as naturally, adding another person to feed at home was a big deal.

She was earning her own salary now, and her mom’s attitude towards her had improved a lot. If it came to it, she could cover Sun Yujuan’s food expenses herself.

As soon as Xu Ying heard this, she rolled her eyes. Sister, can we not be so love-struck?

“I think it’s extremely inappropriate. First of all, you and Sun Yiliang are just dating without an official relationship. Secondly, you and Sun Yujuan don’t even get along.

Sun Yunjuan and Chen Yanran’s temperaments are also notably peculiar in the Youth Corps. A little aunt and sister-in-law would not get along, and would prefer to stay far apart.

Bringing her to live with you could lead to trouble; if things turn sour, you might just be doing more harm than good. And imagine, Sun Yiliang might even hold a grudge against you!”

Lu Daya hadn’t thought that far. She just wanted to help Sun Yiliang’s sister. Now, frightened by Xu Ying’s analysis, she patted her chest, “It’s a good thing I didn’t bring her home.

If I strained the relationship, it would be better not to help at all.”

“Sun Yiliang makes the same monthly salary as you, and while you have to give some to your mother, he spends freely. He can definitely save some money. If he isn’t providing for his own sister, why on earth should you?”

“Don’t be foolish. Sun Yiliang said he’s unsure if he can marry you. If that’s the case, spending money on his sister would be for nothing if you break up later. You’ll be left with neither money nor love.

Listen to me, save the money for yourself. When the time comes to get married, you’ll have a dowry, instead of having given it away for nothing.”

Lu Daya instantly saw the light; indeed, coming to Xu Ying was the right move, lest her money be wasted.

“Xu Ying, thank you, I know what to do now.”

“Mhm, a woman’s money is her safety net. Even if your parents kick you out, you’ll have money to rent a place and live on.

So this money is extremely important. Unless it’s someone you can trust for a lifetime, don’t spend a penny on him.”
