Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 664 World 124

"Yinyin," Di Heping called out, not getting angry with her after all, "then tell my mom that I'll go back home when I have my holiday this month."

“That’s more like it. I’ll tell Auntie,” Yinyin nodded reluctantly, “Does Uncle Zhou know about you and Lingling?”

Di Heping shook his head: "We haven't been together for long, and I haven't told Uncle Zhou yet."

Yinyin didn't know what to say to him. They were two lifetimes old, how could he not grasp the key point in such an important matter?

"Once you're on holiday, hurry back and have a good talk with your aunt. Also, be more attentive to her lately and go help out at the Zhou family."

“You both work in the same factory, and Uncle Zhou is a veteran there. What can you and Lingling hide from him? I'm afraid someone will tell Uncle Zhou as soon as you two start to have a little bit of a relationship.”

Di Heping visibly tensed up.

Just then, Zhou Lingling came out and saw that the two siblings were in a bad mood, so she quickly came over to ask what was wrong.

When she found out the reason, she blushed and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Yinyin, it's my fault for not telling my dad. I was thinking of getting to know Heping better before telling my family."

Yinyin's tone was much gentler when speaking to Zhou Lingling: "Lingling, you should have told your uncle sooner."

"Although he is my brother, you are also my good friend. Your future happiness will definitely be closely watched by your uncle."

Zhou Lingling nodded, then pulled Yin Yin aside and said she missed her.

Yinyin glanced at Di Heping, then spoke only to Zhou Lingling.

When Di Heping returned next time, he took the initiative to tell his mother, uncle, and aunt about it.

As Yin Yin had expected, Di Shulan was initially surprised but then happy. However, after learning about Zhou Lingling's situation, she became slightly anxious.

She wasn't the kind of picky mother-in-law who treated her son like an emperor and thought only a princess was worthy of him. She just thought, "Lingling's family is well-off, and they're all factory workers. Would they even look at our family?"

"Mom, don't worry," Di Heping realized that his mother was even more nervous than he was.

“Lingling and I have already spoken to Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, and we’ve even visited them. They’ve been very kind to us.”

Di Shulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Then when shall we go to present the betrothal gifts?"

Did their family make any requests?

"While I work in town, I also keep an eye out for any good things that I can use in a betrothal."

“If their family doesn’t look down on us, we should at least save face for them and not make Lingling feel wronged.”

After discussing it with his mother, Di Shengli said that they should just ask if they needed anything from him.

Zhou Lingling and Yin Yin were high school classmates. The Zhou family was aware of the Di family's situation and made slightly higher demands, but they would not exceed the Di family's financial burden.

The Di family didn't say a word more and immediately prepared the betrothal gifts.

After the betrothal ceremony, when it was time to choose an auspicious date, the news of Di Heping's upcoming marriage spread throughout the village.

Everyone who heard about Zhou Lingling's situation said that she was a good catch and that Di Heping had struck gold.

Di Shulan happily agreed and never argued back.

Feng Mingyue was one of the last people in the village to know about this. There was nothing she could do; she didn't have any close friends, so naturally, no one would tell her about these things.

She found out about this news by overhearing people talking.

"What are you saying, Di Heping's wife?"

"Di Heping isn't even married, so where would he get a wife?"

The two women chatting happened to be from the Di family's main branch. They knew that Feng Mingyue had schemed against Di Heping, and seeing her like this, they almost laughed out of anger.

“Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. The betrothal gifts have been given, and the two children may have even gotten their marriage certificates. How can they not be Heping’s daughters-in-law?”

"What, you failed to spread rumors about peace before, so now you're targeting our peace efforts?"

"Hmph, our peace is just that we weren't defeated by your evil intentions. We even married a good wife and are now living the good life of city dwellers who eat government-subsidized grain."

"Are you angry? Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was just angry with you!"

The two aunts talked back and forth, making Feng Mingyue tremble.

Fearing that Feng Mingyue might go mad, the two of them cautiously took a few steps back. The villagers nearby also subtly moved closer, keeping an eye on Feng Mingyue.

Feng Mingyue's eyes were so red that she threw the hoe on the ground and ran away.

Zhao and Qian, the two educated youths who noticed this, quickly went to stop her, since that direction led out of the village.

An auntie noticed something was off: "Could it be that Feng Mingyue has taken a liking to Heping again? Her reaction is exactly the same as when she found out about Comrade Xu's marriage."

The faces of the Di family aunts present all changed, their expressions clearly saying "Don't get involved."

"Come on, Peace can't handle a crazy woman like that."

"It hasn't been long since she went to great lengths for Comrade Xu, and now she says she's suddenly taken a liking to Heping? Who would believe that?"

"Not to mention that Heping has hardly returned to the village since he started working, just talking about meeting her, the number of times Heping has met her can be counted on one hand."

"Feng Mingyue must have her eye on Heping's worker status. Bah, she doesn't even deserve it!"

"That's right, that's right. I remember hearing from Qinghe Village that Feng Mingyue spread rumors about Heping and Zhu Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing. How old was Heping back then? Zhu Zhiqing and Qin Zhiqing were such good people, and she ruined their reputations like that."

"Not only that, she was also giving advice behind the scenes, telling Liu Laosan's ex-wife not to divorce him, but to keep sucking Heping's blood to support her."

"She's using one underhanded trick after another, and she still has the nerve to fancy He Ping?"

Jiang Xianjun had taken Di Shulan to confide in their relatives about these things. Families who were on good terms with them also knew a little about it, but since everyone was of good character and they saw each other all the time, they didn't tell anyone.

At this moment, Feng Mingyue was about to burst from holding it in, and everyone else couldn't hold back any longer.

Di Heping is Di Shulan's biological son, and now he takes the surname Di. He is a junior member of the Di family. Not to mention, he often brings snacks with him, and when he returns to the village, he helps to coax the children and greets them with a sweet tongue.

Which of the elders in the Di family could bear to see such a fine young man's marriage ruined by someone like Feng Mingyue?

Seeing that Zhao and Qian, the two educated youths, were busy, an uncle from the Di family who had influence immediately went to the village chief and secretary to tell them what had just happened.

When Yinyin returned to the village, Feng Mingyue was once again under strict surveillance.

Last time, she was only not allowed to leave the village, but this time, Feng Mingyue would be stopped if she even tried to get close to Di Shengli's family.

Seeing this, Yinyin sent a message to Di Shengli, telling him to buy more things for his relatives and friends in the village to sweeten their mouths when he comes back to distribute wedding candy next time.

Otherwise, if Feng Mingyue were to run away or get close to the Di family, the marriage would likely face many obstacles.
