Chapter 128: Sent Away

　　Huo Chengyu was still thick-skinned, so she followed him in.

　　After seeing the appearance of Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After seeing Xu Manqiu, who was younger than Han Taorui, Huo Chengyu was really moved.

　　He recovered earlier than Han Yanqing. He had already walked out of the warm environment of the army and felt the reality and vicissitudes of society in advance.

　　Han Yanqing was about the same age as him. Their two families lived in Shangxiayingzi, not far from each other, and they had played together since they were young.

　　When they reached the same age, a group of children of similar age went to join the army together, but only he and Han Yanqing were selected.

　　The two went to the same unit and were in the same recruit company. After being assigned to the company, they were assigned to different companies. The following year, they were both selected into the spearhead unit. After two years of training and testing, Han Yanqing went to perform a very dangerous but easy to meritorious mission, while he had to stay and leave the original training place and return to his original unit.

　　After serving in the army for six years, Huo Chengyu felt that if he wanted to get promoted by staying in the army, he could only gain experience, so he decisively chose to retire.

　　When he returned from the army and saw the beautiful Han Taorui, a plan came into his mind.

　　The team Han Yanqing is in has a high military rank and status. If nothing unexpected happens, Han Yanqing can still work there for another 20 years. If he becomes Han Yanqing's brother-in-law, it will more or less help his future.

　　But after all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, Huo Chengyu still wants to wait and see, so he first flirts with Han Taorui, while still being single. Before Han Yanqing retired from the army, he flirted with Han Taorui and dated several women, but the results were not satisfactory.

　　Either they come from an ordinary family but has an uncle who is a high-ranking official, or they are just the daughter of a director. Not to mention their family background, their appearance is far inferior to Han Taorui's.

　　Just when Huo Chengyu was wavering, Han Yanqing returned from military service and immediately became the deputy director of the county public security bureau. The director of the county public security bureau was already in his fifties and was about to retire.

　　At this moment, Huo Chengyu's wavering heart instantly settled. He wanted Han Taorui.

　　Huo Chengyu agrees that his sister likes Han Yanqing.

　　The two parties are brothers-in-law to each other, and in this way, their two families are truly inseparable.

　　Anyway, Huo Chengyu was determined to have sex with Han Yanqing. To put it bluntly, if Han Yanqing didn't dislike men, Huo Chengyu would have taken off his pants and had sex with him himself.

　　The things Fu Shaohua brought were liked by everyone. Jiang Youtao and the others couldn't eat so much, so they played the role of money-giving girls and gave one to each of the children in the yard.

　　Everyone was very happy.

　　Compared with the whole bunch of candied haws, Huo Chengyu's two candied haws looked particularly stingy.

　　Han Taorui doesn't like sour food. Candied haws are made from hawthorn. After eating the sugar coating, the food inside tastes very sour, so she doesn't like it.

　　She ate roasted sweet potatoes and sugar-fried chestnuts and found them delicious.

　　Huo Chengyu was not embarrassed at all. After distributing the candied haws to the children, he approached Fu Shaohua.

　　"Where are you working, comrade?"

　　Fu Shaohua moved his eyes away from Jiang Youtao and said, "It's not that high, it's the mail that was delivered by the post office."

　　Huo Chengyu's mouth twitched, and his interest in Fu Shaohua instantly faded. He thought Fu Shaohua was good-looking and well-dressed, and thought he was a cadre from somewhere, but it turned out that he was just from the post office, not even a leader.

　　In Huo Chengyu's life creed, such people are not worth associating with.

　　Huo Chengyu said nothing more and looked at Han Taorui: "Taorui, the cinema is showing Youth in War today. Haven't you always wanted to watch it? Let's go and watch it?"

　　Huo Chengyu's words were so intimate and ambiguous that not only Jiang Youtao and the others, but even Teacher Zheng and the others in his own yard pricked up their ears.

　　Everyone knows that Huo Jingshuang is chasing Han Yanqing, but not many people know that Huo Chengyu and Han Taorui are a couple.

　　Teacher Yu's mother-in-law, Aunt Lu, told Teacher Zheng's mother-in-law, "The Huo family is relying on the Han family, right? Look, the girl failed to get into bed last night, so this morning she asked her brother to seduce the girl. This is really like taking a bath in a boiling water pot. After all the changes, they are still familiar people."

　　Aunt Lu had a naturally loud voice. When she said this, Huo Chengyu's face instantly turned black. If he wasn't a leader and couldn't argue with others, he would have scolded her long ago.

　　Old Mrs. Han was cooking in the house. When she heard someone mention the Huo family, she came out with a spatula. When she saw Huo Chengyu and her daughter Tao Rui living in the same space, she felt terrible.

　　"Tao Rui get back inside, it's time to eat." Old Mrs. Han didn't even look at Huo Chengyu.

　　Han Taorui said "oh", put down the sugar-roasted chestnuts, and went back obediently.

　　When she was about to reach the door, Han Taorui turned to look at Huo Chengyu and said seriously, "When I wanted to watch Youth in War. It was three months ago. I have already watched it with my friends. I don't need you to accompany me."

　　Three months ago, Han Taorui didn't really want to watch Youth in War. She just heard that if two people went to see a movie together, they would be in a relationship. She told Huo Chengyu because she wanted to settle down with him.

　　At that time, Huo Chengyu was unwilling to go with her. Now that Huo Chengyu wants to go, she is no longer willing.

　　Huo Chengyu's face changed drastically.

　　Old Mrs. Han closed the door after she entered the yard.

　　Huo Chengyu had never been treated so coldly in the Han family. Even when they were young, he liked to go to the Han family the most, because Han Yanqing's grandparents were the kindest and would never get angry no matter how they made trouble.

　　Old Mrs. Han was very welcoming to Han Yanqing's playmates like them. If there was anything delicious or fun at home, she would never hesitate to share it with them.

　　This was the first time that Huo Chengyu was turned away like this. He was incredulous. He never thought that one day, the door of the Han family would be closed to him.

　　His heart was completely panicked. Huo Chengyu knew that it was time for him to make a decision.

　　Huo Chengyu stood there for a while, feeling everyone's gazes on him, strange, mocking, and malicious.

　　Huo Chengyu never knew that being stared at like this would be so uncomfortable.

　　Huo Chengyu turned and left.

　　When he got home, Huo Jingshuang was still making a fuss. She was still complaining about how she was forcibly dragged back last night and how He Jinzhi slapped her. He Jinzhi was deeply hurt by her.

　　Once, she was accused of favoring boys over girls. He Jinzhi didn't want to endure it anymore. She pointed at Huo Jingshuang and said, "You are not from the city, but since you were a child, you have everything your brother has. In fact, because you are younger, you get more."

　　"Our family lives in the countryside, but I've never asked you to work since you were little. I never said a word even when you didn't want to cook or wash clothes at noon. If you don't do it, I'll come home exhausted and have to cook for you."

　　"You have four sets of clothes a year. Go and ask around on the street. Even among the girls in the city, who can make four sets a year? Go and see which girl can enjoy such a good life as you do!"

　　"Even Han Taorui has to work. She is good at all kinds of housework. What about you? Can you tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings?"

　　He Jinzhi admitted that when she made certain decisions, she would indeed be biased towards Huo Chengyu. After all, he was the future pillar of the family, her only son, and he was working outside. Wasn't it normal for her to listen to his opinions and be more biased towards him?

　　Whose family didn't do this? Compared to other girls, Huo Jingshuang already lives in a good home. What else is she dissatisfied with?

　　He Jinzhi didn't agree with the saying that boys are favored over girls. She felt that how could women compare with men? In terms of men being able to carry on the family line, Huo Jingshuang couldn't compare. She was a girl, she had to get married, and the child she gave birth to would have someone else's surname.

　　What she thought was good was not worth mentioning in Huo Jingshuang's eyes. Before she traveled through time, her family was wealthy. Although her parents had no love for each other, they were very generous to her. What was the big deal about making clothes four times a year?

　　She casually bought seven or eight sets of clothes online. Before she traveled through time, there were still many clothes with tags on them in her room's closet that she hadn't worn.

　　The clothes that Huo Jingshuang had originally worn had all turned pale from being washed, and the styles weren't nice either. Huo Jingshuang wouldn't have worn them if she really had something else to wear.

　　She remained expressionless.

　　Huo Chengyu saw Huo Jingshuang's expression clearly, and he said to He Jinzhi: "Send her back to the countryside."

　　He Jinzhi turned her head suddenly, with tears still lingering on her face, and Huo Helong was also looking at him.

　　Huo Chengyu was terribly calm: "I just went to look for Han Taorui, but she didn't want to go out with me. Grandma Han closed the door and wouldn't let me in. Do you know what this means? This means that the Han family no longer wants Han Taorui to get married."

　　Huo Chengyu's words made He Jinzhi panic: "How could this happen? Why is the Han family so unreasonable? Jing Shuang did something wrong, it's Jing Shuang's fault, what does it have to do with you?"

　　Huo Chengyu had already thoroughly analyzed with He Jinzhi and the others what was good about the Han family's marriage.

　　There are not many unmarried girls of Huo Chengyu's age in the government leadership team. Those who are not married either have their fathers or brothers' career paths come to an end, or they are ugly and have strong personalities.

　　There is no one as well-behaved and obedient as Han Taorui. If Han Taorui married into her family, she can control her as she pleases, but it is not certain for others.

　　Therefore, to sum up, Han Taorui is the most suitable candidate for daughter-in-law in her family.

　　He Jinzhi, who had just claimed that she did not favor boys over girls, immediately changed her mind: "Okay, I will send your sister back to the countryside and let your grandmother take care of her."

　　Huo Chengyu nodded: "Wait another two years, and then find someone with better conditions and marry her."

　　He Jinzhi became happy again: "I feel relieved to have a son like you around."

　　Huo Chengyu returned to the room. He decided to pay more attention to Han Taorui. After all, he was holding two candied haws today, while Fu Shaohua was holding a bunch of candied haws, which somewhat irritated him.

　　Huo Chengyu didn't want to spend money on women. In his opinion, women shouldn't be too materialistic. The things he gave to Huohao Han Taorui were ordinary things, but they were full of his thoughts.

　　His intentions are the most important.

　　But Huo Chengyu did not deny that women all worship money. Today, Han Taorui's eyes lit up when she saw the things delivered by the courier.

　　Jiang Youtao didn't know what Huo Chengyu was thinking, but she knew what happened in Huo Chengyu's family.

　　She was shocked by the actions of the Huo family.

　　This family is full of hypocrites. Just like Huo Helong, he has no sense of existence. No matter what happens at home, he doesn't care about himself. He doesn't interfere in any matter at home. As long as he has food to eat and clothes to wear, everything is fine.

　　The most hypocritical person is He Jinzhi. She says that she does not favor boys over girls, but for the future of her son, she can sacrifice her daughter without hesitation.

　　Huo Jingshuang was sent back to the countryside that same day. In order to prevent Huo Jingshuang from running away when no one was paying attention, He Jinzhi asked her mother-in-law to keep an eye on her.

　　Han Taorui felt a little uncomfortable when she learned that Huo Jingshuang was rushed to the countryside. She said to Jiang Youtao, "Although my family and the Huo family are not from the same village, hers is at the head of Xiayingzi Village, and mine is at the end of Shangyingzi Village, so we are very close. Huo Jingshuang's grandmother is not easy to get along with. She is the kind of person who sticks to her own principles and you can't communicate with her no matter what you say."

　　"And she values her grandson Huo Chengyu very much. Even if Huo Chengyu wants a star, she will find a way to build a ladder to it. As it concerns Huo Chengyu's future, Huo Jingshuang's life will be difficult."

　　Han Taorui was a little depressed. She was originally attracted to Huo Chengyu. After Gu Nianwei's advice last time, she still had a little bit of feelings left. But after this incident, Han Taorui's attraction disappeared in an instant.

　　Han Taorui said, "I have always liked singing and dancing. Two years ago, the officer who came to our camp to recruit people said that I had talent, but my grandparents thought that I was too young and too far away from home, so they didn't let me go. But the officer said that if I changed my mind, I could call him anytime."

　　"She said I have a talent for high notes and that age is not a limitation. I plan to go, and my grandmother and the others agree. My grandmother said it's a good idea for me to give it a try. She saw from what happened to Huo Jingshuang's family that the Huo family is a bit unscrupulous in their actions."

　　"My brother is a man and he almost got hit. If I were to be hit by Huo Chengyu, I would not have the strength to resist."

　　Han Taorui still has a strong desire for love. She hopes that she and her future husband will be together because of love, rather than being bound together for some other reasons. That would be too painful for Han Taorui.

　　"It's good to go and see the world outside. It's pretty good." Jiang Youtao said.

　　Han Taorui nodded: "Yes, I think so too."

　　After Han Taorui went back, Jiang Youtao took out the book with Huo Jingshuang as the heroine and read it carefully. According to the content of the book, Huo Jingshuang married Han Yanqing first.

　　According to the Han family's character, they would not allow their granddaughter to marry into the Huo family again.

　　Your sister will marry me, and my sister will marry you. How is this different from the old exchange marriages?

　　So the question is, how did Han Taorui get together with Huo Chengyu?

　　The book doesn't go into detail, it just says that Han Taorui and Huo Chengyu had a good relationship and they got married naturally.

　　Jiang Youtao felt that it was not realistic, so she asked the melon-eating system: [ Tongzi, in that book, how did Han Taorui marry Huo Chengyu? ]

　　Gossip system: [ After Huo Jingshuang married into the Han family, the two families became closer, and gradually, rumors about Huo Chengyu and Han Taorui spread. Once, Han Taorui fell into the water, and it was Huo Chengyu who rescued her and gave her artificial respiration. ]

　　According to the nature of this era, Jiang Youtao already knew why Han Taorui would marry Huo Chengyu. The Huo family is really awesome, one trick is simply one trick, eat everything!

　　Regardless of why Han Yanqing did not come out to stop the melon-eating system, Jiang Youtao also understood that after marrying Huo Jingshuang, he was no longer the real Han Yanqing. Apart from Han Yanqing's background and appearance, he did not have any of Han Yanqing's character.

　　He can even do things like abusive love and chasing his wife to the crematorium, so what else can we pray for him to do?

　　The next day after Han Taorui said this to Jiang Youtao, she was sent away by Han Yanqing.

　　Two days later, Han Yanqing came back alone. According to Mrs. Han, Han Taorui joined the Capital General Political Department Song and Dance Troupe and became a soprano singer.

　　Huo Chengyu discovered this almost a week after Han Taorui left.

　　He was extremely angry and glared at Han Yanqing: "Han Yanqing, you are too authoritarian, aren't you? Did you ask for my opinion before sending Taorui away? As Han Taorui's partner, I don't even have the right to know in advance?"
