I have been farming since I crossed over.

Chapter 168 Let each other go!

Lu Jintang sent Yang Mingxi back to her room, hugged her tightly and said, "Axi, don't mind what he said. In my heart, my involvement started from the moment you agreed to pursue me. I don't mind your past experiences, but I feel bad for you."

Yang Mingxi stared at Lu Jintang blankly and said, "I don't mind, because after all, it's my own experience. I had some regrets before, but now it's fine. This is good."

Lu Jintang kissed Yang Mingxi's forehead and said, "Cry if you want to! Don't be like this, I feel so bad."

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang and said, "I don't want to cry. I'm not sad at all. I had just returned at that time. As you know, I was old and afraid of being forced into marriage. So I thought of finding someone from my own village. If I was bullied, I could go back to my parents' home, so I agreed. Later, he backed out, so I gave up because in his eyes, I was just a commodity, not a flesh-and-blood person with emotions."

Yang Mingxi paused, walked to the table, pulled a stool for Lu Jintang to sit on, and sat on the bed herself, continuing: "Lu Jintang, I told you that love is crowded and can only accommodate two people. If one day you have another woman you like, tell me and I will leave. I won't hinder you, okay?"

Lu Jintang stood up in a flash, walked over to Yang Mingxi, put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Axi, you are the woman I used some trickery to get your consent. I swear to you that you will always be my only love. If you break my promise, I will not live a good life."

Before she could finish her words, Yang Mingxi covered her mouth with her small hand and said, "No need to swear, oaths don't work. Let's work together. If that day really comes, we won't bother each other, okay?"

Lu Jintang looked at Yang Mingxi's sparkling eyes, swallowed several times, and then said with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you, but I won't let that day happen." After that, he lowered his head and kissed Yang Mingxi's lips.

After a long moment, Yang Mingxi nudged Lu Jintang and said, "It's late. Let's go home quickly. You won't be able to sleep for long before you have to get up again. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Okay, Axi, my mother has picked a date. She will propose on the sixth of May, and we will get engaged and give the betrothal gifts on the eighth of June. Once all the formalities are completed, we will get married on the tenth of October. I can't wait."

Yang Mingxi was stunned for a moment and said, "So soon? I didn't even know about it."

Lu Jintang pretended to be angry and said, "Don't you want to marry me sooner?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "I won't tell you. Go back quickly! It's too late."

Lu Jintang chuckled and said, "Axi is shy. I get it. You're still looking forward to it, right? By the way, I've told mom that after we get married, we'll live in a small courtyard by the river. We can just go back occasionally."

Yang Mingxi nodded, pushed Lu Jintang towards the window, and urged him to go back quickly.

When they reached the window, Lu Jintang suddenly stopped, took out a bundle from his arms, and handed it to Yang Mingxi, saying, "This is what I bought you every year for my birthday. My mother said that she would buy something for her future wife every year and give it to her when we get married, so that she can participate in all of her life. The ones before the age of five were prepared by my mother, and the ones after that were prepared by me. Take a look and play with any that you like."

After saying that, he looked at Yang Mingxi, took out a small bundle from his arms, opened it, and said, "I saw this when I went to Beijing this time. I thought it suits you very well, so I bought it. The packaging box is too big, so I just wrapped it in cloth. Do you like it?"

Yang Mingxi was startled by the large bag Lu Jintang had just stuffed into her, but then she noticed a set of jewelry on the cloth in Lu Jintang's hand. The main part was gold, with green gemstones, all in the shape of teardrops. It was simple, elegant, and very beautiful. A hairpin, a pair of earrings, a necklace, a pair of bracelets, and a ring. All of it was made of simple materials, but it was very pleasing to Yang Mingxi's eyes.

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Thank you, it's very beautiful."

Lu Jintang said, "I'll put it on for you and you'll wear it from now on."

"You'd better save such a beautiful thing for later! I have to work now, it's inconvenient. By the way, are you going back to your home? Is it dangerous?"

Lu Jintang chuckled secretly and said, "I went back secretly, took what I needed, and came out. It's okay."

"Well, be safe and go back!"

Lu Jintang kissed Yang Mingxi on the forehead again before turning and leaving.

Yang Mingxi put down the things in her hands and thought about things in her mind. She had so many cousins and it was time to make good use of them. Some things were better to be planned early.

While thinking about things, I slowly fell asleep.

In the Zheng family yard, Zheng Huairen dragged his injured body and finally returned home. He was planning to get some water to wash before going to bed, but he didn't hold the water scoop properly and it fell to the ground, waking up Zheng's mother.

Mother Zheng came out and saw Zheng Huairen in such a mess. She hugged him and said, "Ren'er, have you gone to look for Miss Yang again? I've told you so many times that since you've already quit, you shouldn't bother her anymore. Just find a girl and live your own life. Isn't that good?"

Zheng Huairen took two deep breaths and said, "Mom, I'm unwilling to accept this. It's true that I withdrew first, but she can't just throw herself into someone else's arms right away! She's too fickle!"

Mother Zheng looked at Zheng Huairen in astonishment and said, "You've been the one who wronged her in the first place. Do you still want her to remain faithful to you forever? Ren'er, how can you be so selfish? It's all because of your poor health that I didn't teach you well. It's not too late to teach you now."

After Zheng's mother finished speaking, tears were already streaming down her face. She wiped her tears, pulled Zheng Huairen to sit on a stool, squatted beside him and said, "Ren'er, for two people to be together, it means you have accumulated blessings for eight lifetimes. The fact that you two can't be together in the end means that you haven't accumulated enough blessings. So, just be well and let each other go. Maybe you can be together in the next life."

Mother Zheng sighed and said, "Also, I want to tell you that a girl is willing to follow you, not because you are capable, but because you treat her well, treat her well with all your heart. Then even if you are not capable, or even don't have enough food to eat, she will follow you. But if you make her sad, even if you can give her the whole world, she will leave you. Think about it carefully!" After that, she stood up and left in tears.

Old Man Zheng came out from the shadows, kicked Zheng Huairen and said, "You coward, you don't have any other skills, but you are good at making your mother angry! With your selfish attitude, you will never be treated sincerely by girls. Can you learn from your father? The wife is the most important thing, and everything else is bullshit." After that, he kicked Zheng Huairen again and left.

Zheng Xiaoliu walked out of the room, helped his eldest brother up, took a towel, wiped the stains on Zheng Huairen's body, and cried, "Brother, please give up Sister Yang! I hope you two are happy. It's best if you can be together. Even if you can't be together, I still hope you are happy. Okay, brother."

Zheng Huairen grinned and said, "Xiao Liu, I just realized that without her, I don't know what happiness is. What do you think I should do?"

"Brother, put down all the burdens on your shoulders and don't think about anything else. Now that we are out, let's not think about going back. Let's live a good life here, okay?" Zheng Xiaoliu looked at Zheng Huairen eagerly.

For some reason, Zheng Huairen couldn't say no and nodded numbly.

What he didn't know was that because of this letting go, he really let go of this relationship slowly and lived a happy and healthy life afterwards.
