You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 297 Secret

"Let her go! Anyway, the job they agreed to should be confirmed in the next few days. I'll have Guangzong send us a telegram as soon as he gets the news, an urgent one, and then he can take Ruolan home directly."

"Hmph, she got off too easy."

"You need to control your temper and not lose your temper. Don't treat her the way you used to. Be nice to her these next few days. You know she's soft-hearted. Don't forget, you still have two sons. Guangzong is graduating soon. If he doesn't have a job, he'll have to go to the countryside. Even if you give him your job, his salary will definitely be reduced significantly. We also have Yaozu. They'll get married in the future. You need to appease Ruolan and make sure she helps Guangzong and the others even after she gets married."

"Hmph, I'm good to her? Didn't you see her attitude just now? She talked back to me for some random guy, and even said she was good at making money. See, she's lying to us now. I think it's because you've been too nice to her."

"To be honest, she might not be lying. At the time, I was worried that if she really got married in the countryside, how would we explain it to the Fang family? If we just let go of all the benefits the Fang family gave us, I would be furious. But now that I think about it, I seem to remember the factory manager mentioning that there is a bamboo ware factory in Yu'an City that specializes in selling bamboo handicrafts to foreign merchants."

"How could that be? Even if there is a bamboo ware factory in Yu'an City, it wouldn't be in such a small place."

"Have you forgotten the bamboo weaving that Ruolan sent back? She said it was woven by Lu Mingnan. So, this is what the factory director was talking about. You don't know, our factory participated in the Canton Fair last year, and the factory director told us when he came back that these bamboo handicrafts can sell for a lot of money, all to wealthy foreign merchants."

"If it's true, you're really going to agree to them? Let me tell you, I'm not going to agree."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Even if what the factory manager said is true, and Ruolan said that Lu Mingnan really has that skill, can earn money, and has a job, this place is too far from us. No matter how powerful the other party is, we won't get any benefits. The Fang family will help Guangzong and the others find jobs and stay in the city. I can tell the difference."

"It's good that you understand. This brat has only been away from home for two years and she's already talking back. What will she become if this goes on for too long? Maybe it's that guy Lu Mingnan who taught her. If she really agrees, won't she make us forget all about her? We raised her all these years and are still counting on her to help her two younger brothers!"

"So, be nice to her these next few days. She's soft-hearted. Take her back to the city first."

"Okay, okay, I got it!!!"

Liu Ling listened intently to the conversation between the two people inside the room, forgetting even to eat.

Just then, the other educated youth returned.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng shut up, changed the subject, and began to chat warmly with the educated youth.

With so many people around, the Cheng couple became even less aware that Liu Ling had come home early. They didn't even go into the main room, heading straight to the kitchen.

Liu Ling, however, was completely at a loss for words.

The matter has been clarified.

Cheng Ruolan's parents came to the village.

They opposed Lu Mingnan and Cheng Ruolan, and even found her a job so she could return to the city.

However, there must be some scheming behind such a good thing.

Liu Ling shook her head.

It's his business, not hers, so I won't get involved.

Liu Ling continued eating, and after a while, she went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Whether Cheng Ruolan listens to her parents and returns to the city to separate from Lu Mingnan is none of her business as an outsider.

Although Cheng Ruolan's parents seemed to have schemed against her, they still found her a job. Didn't Cheng Ruolan hate working and really want to go back to the city? How is she now?

As for Lu Mingnan, well, what can he do? He's not from the city! He can't help Cheng Ruolan's two younger brothers find jobs!

right!

Cheng Ruolan was so obedient to her parents, and in the end, she followed their arrangements to return to the city and separate from Lu Mingnan. It seems there's no need to guess much.

So the ending seems pretty clear. Knowing all these truths, what can she change?

As an outsider, she already has a hard time just surviving, let alone caring about other people's relationship problems!

Liu Ling convinced herself and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

I still have to go to work this afternoon!

She can only get full work points occasionally, and most of the time she only gets eight or nine work points.

The very tiring autumn harvest is just around the corner, and she has to worry about working hard during the harvest to earn more work points so that she can get a bigger share of the grain when it's distributed.

If she can't finish the food, she can exchange it for some money, which will solve her daily needs.

However, she felt she could finish it.

Liu Ling reached out and grasped the doorknob, paused, sighed deeply, and turned to leave.

……

Cheng Ruolan didn't know what she was feeling when she came to see Lu Mingnan.

She knew he was at work, and she was standing not far from the bamboo ware factory, staring blankly at it.

When it was time to leave work, the people in the bamboo ware factory also went home for lunch.

Even if everyone saw Cheng Ruolan, they would know that she and Lu Mingnan were dating and that she was waiting for him.

Normally, people might make a joke about it.

But when it's time to eat, you can't think about anything else, you just want to go home.

When Lu Mingnan came out of the bamboo ware factory, he still looked preoccupied.

When I'm busy, I don't overthink things.

But after get off work, my mind involuntarily keeps thinking about the things that bother me.

When Lu Mingnan saw Cheng Ruolan, he instinctively wanted to smile at her.

But Cheng Ruolan seemed not to see him or anyone else; she just stared blankly at the entrance of the bamboo ware factory.

Seeing her expression, Lu Mingnan's face darkened, and a bad feeling arose in his mind.

Shaking his head to dispel the slight panic that had risen within him, Lu Mingnan approached again with a smile, waving his hand in front of Cheng Ruolan's eyes. After she regained her senses, he said, "It's lunchtime. Why are you here? Didn't you say yesterday that you were in charge of making lunch today?"

When Cheng Ruolan came to her senses, she saw his smile, and immediately her eyes stung and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Mingnan anxiously reached out to wipe his tears, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Tell me what happened."

After finishing his sentence, Lu Mingnan paused for a moment and said, "I heard from my third uncle that your parents came. Do they dislike me, so they scolded you?"

Cheng Ruolan shook her head, sobbing, but tears kept flowing.

Lu Mingnan kept comforting her verbally, but his heart sank to the bottom.

Cheng Ruolan cried for a while, her eyes red and swollen. "Mingnan, my parents found me a job in the city, and they want me to come back!"

Lu Mingnan paused in his hand as he wiped away her tears.
