Chapter 825 - 821: Dressed Very Festively

Chen Jie’s mother stepped forward, smiling brightly. "Silly girl, Leng Yuan is back."

"So what if he’s back? What does that have to do with me!" Chen Yu wasn’t interested and turned to leave. Just a couple of days ago, her brother had yelled at her over Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao, so she still felt a bit angry hearing that name.

Seeing her daughter about to return to her room, Chen Jie’s mother hurriedly grabbed her, looking anxious. "You silly girl, Gu Jiaojiao isn’t coming back. Leng Yuan is going to be a single man from now on. He’s capable, knows how to dote on his wife, and is a hard worker. If you marry a man like him, I won’t have to worry about you for the rest of my life."

In the past, Leng Yuan had been too cold and aloof, so she had thought he wasn’t marriage material. But after he got married, who knew how many people regretted misjudging him? Leng Yuan might have seemed cold on the outside, but he was warm on the inside. He knew how to care for people better than anyone else.

Chen Yu’s eyes widened, and then her face turned red. To be honest, during the busy farming season, she had been forced to work in the fields as well. From a distance, she had seen Gu Jiaojiao following behind Leng Yuan. It was clearly a two-person job, but the man hadn’t let Gu Jiaojiao lift a finger; he did all the work himself.

At that time, she had thought that a man like that was a true man. It was just a pity that he was already married. Now, hearing her own mother’s words, her mind immediately began to race with possibilities.

In the end, yielding to her mother’s persuasion, Chen Yu dressed entirely in red. Not only did she pin a large red flower in her hair, but she also applied rouge. Red clothes, a big red flower on her head, red lips, and red cheeks. This was the most popular makeup style nowadays. It was very festive.

Chen Jie’s mother nodded in satisfaction. Without another word, she grabbed Chen Yu and ran off.

On the way, she saw other women also running toward the village entrance with their nieces, daughters, or relatives’ daughters in tow. With her short legs, Chen Jie’s mother picked up the pace, running as fast as she could, her heels practically catching fire. Finally, they arrived at the village entrance just as the leaders arrived.

Chen Beiguo looked back. Good heavens, these people were dressed so festively. However, it was only natural to dress up a bit to welcome the leaders, so the smile on his face grew a bit wider.

He straightened his collar. This Chinese tunic suit was his best outfit. His wife had told him that wearing it made him look several years younger. In fact, he had bought this outfit for his wedding. It was very expensive, so he rarely wore it on ordinary days.

"Sir, on behalf of all the villagers of the Qingshan Team, I welcome you," Chen Beiguo said.

The Deputy County Chief stepped out of the car and shook hands with Chen Beiguo. "You’re too polite. I’m here with a mission this time. Let’s head inside and talk later."

As the Deputy County Chief and the team captain exchanged pleasantries, Leng Yuan also stepped out of the car. Everyone saw him neatly dressed, his expression as indifferent as ever. Standing there, his imposing presence was fully on display.

When someone noticed Leng Yuan, they immediately shouted.

"Leng Yuan is back! Leng Yuan is really back!"

Chen Beiguo was speechless.

The village head was speechless.

What was going on? The crowd was more enthusiastic about seeing Leng Yuan than the visiting leader.

Chen Beiguo let out a dry laugh and turned to look at the festively dressed women. "I know you’re all concerned about Leng Yuan. Don’t worry! Leng Yuan is completely fine."

His words silenced those who wanted to ask about the situation. Knowing Leng Yuan was safe put their minds at ease. Then, someone shouted.

"Leng Yuan, even though Gu Zhiqing made a mistake, it has nothing to do with you! We all know you’re a good man. Look at my niece—she’s fresh, pretty, and just reached marriageable age this year. Plus, she has wide hips and is good for bearing children. I guarantee she can give you a son!"

Chen Beiguo was speechless.

The village head was speechless.

Leng Yuan was speechless.
