After holding her husband’s hand for a moment, Lu Jueyu mounted her bicycle and headed home. As she rode past the central area, she noticed a man walking out of the production team’s office. Their eyes met briefly, and although he seemed familiar, Lu Jueyu didn’t stop to inquire further and continued on her way.
Upon seeing Lu Jueyu, the man’s heart skipped a beat, and he muttered in surprise, "What a beautiful girl."
Shortly after, Han Yuheng approached and asked, "Comrade Xiao, why are you standing here lost in thought? Did you see someone you know?"
"Comrade Han, do you know a girl who owns a bicycle?" the man inquired.
Han Yuheng pondered for a moment and replied, "There is only an educated youth who owns a bicycle, but it’s not a girl."
The man glanced at Pan Meijia, who was working in the field, his expression filled with complexity as he said, "That girl isn’t an educated youth."
"Not an educated youth? Then she must be the Li family’s third daughter-in-law." Han Yuheng concluded after some time.
"Daughter-in-law? You mean she is married?" the man asked in surprise. She appeared to be so young, how could she already be married?
Despite his disbelief, Han Yuheng nodded and confirmed "Yes, she got married to the Li family’s third son last year. It’s been almost a month now."
Hearing this news, the man felt a pang of disappointment. It was a shame for such a beautiful girl to marry a villager. If only he had met her earlier…
His disappointment lasted only for a few seconds before he composed himself and said, "Comrade Han, can you take me to my sister now?"
Given the benefits he had received from the man, Han Yuheng couldn’t refuse his request. He nodded and replied, "Sure. This way please."
Guided by Han Yuheng, they reached the Yang family’s house in fifteen minutes. Standing outside the gate, Han Yuheng knocked while calling out, "Is anyone home?"
Aware that Mother Yang was working in the field, Han Yuheng assumed either Yang Lichao or Xiao Yiqing would be the one who opened the door. Shortly after, they heard the sound of a door slamming, followed by a man’s hoarse voice.
"Who is it?!" Yang Lichao asked, his voice laced with clear annoyance.
The moment the door opened, both Han Yuheng and Xiao Yiguan were taken aback by the sight of Yang Lichao’s disheveled appearance.
Upon recognizing Han Yuheng, Yang Lichao suppressed his anger, trying to appear composed as he tidied his clothes.
"Team Leader, what brings you to my house today?" he inquired as his voice was laced with doubts.
