Chapter 227 Better sooner rather than later (fourth update)
The two rode horses all the way through Huilong Tun and then to Xiushan Tun. Many people were stunned when they saw this scene. It was so bold.
Lu Lu ignored those strange looks and rode his horse directly to the door of their courtyard. He jumped off Zhui Feng's back first, and then asked Chen Xiuyu to dismount.
"Go back quickly, wash up, and change into clean clothes. Well... just the one I bought for you!"
Rainy nights are uncomfortable. Being outside in the cold and wet all night is not something that even a young man, let alone a girl, can bear.
"Yes!" Chen Xiuyu responded, opened the courtyard door and walked inside.
"Xiuyu, after you finish it, go to Uncle Wang's house and wait. Remember to bring your household registration certificate with you!"
It is better to do things sooner rather than later, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.
As the old saying goes, it's better to choose the day than to hit it. Seeing that it was just after noon, it was completely late.
Lu Lu planned to simply choose the time today and not give Ma Jinlan and others time to react.
If you think about it carefully, this is also an unforgettable day.
Probably, for the rest of my life, when I talk about the day of getting a wedding certificate, I will think of this incident.
Chen Xiuyu smiled slightly, nodded, and ran towards the house.
Ma Jinlan and Chen Xiuqing were probably looking for Chen Xiuyu on the mountain. The door was locked. Chen Xiuyu ran to a pillar of the barn on the left side of the house, reached behind and touched it, took out a key, ran back to the door of the house, and opened the door.
Drilled in.
Many rural families have the habit of hiding a key at the door of their house, just so that they can still enter the house if they forget to take it out or lose it.
Seeing Chen Xiuyu enter the house, Lu Lu turned his horse's head and rode towards the back mountain.
When he went into the mountain to search for the second time, he noticed that Zhang Shaofeng and Wang Demin were walking up the back mountain.
Walking quickly through the mountain forest and climbing over two mountain ridges, you can hear the shouts coming from the mountains.
Lu Lu followed the sound and found the person. After finding the person, he told them that Chen Xiuyu had been found. After expressing his gratitude, he asked them to call back the people who helped search. By the way, he asked about the whereabouts of Wang Demin and Zhang Shaofeng.
According to the guidance, it didn't take Lu Lu long to find Zhang Shaofeng and Wang Demin who were shouting in the mountains.
"Brother Feng, uncle, Xiuyu has been found!"
When Lu Lu saw the two figures, he shouted from a distance, then rode towards them on horseback.
After the two heard this, they also came towards Lu Lu. As soon as they met, Wang Demin asked: "Where did you find it?"
"On the hill three miles away from Huilong Tun... a little further there is the main road that branches off to Qingshan Tun. Xiuyu stayed there for one night and wanted to go to Wu Mingwei's house in Qingshan Tun and called off the marriage.
"
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he took a long breath.
"This girl...how did she run so far away? She never thought of going to that kind of place, but she has such a good temperament!"
Wang Demin was a little surprised, but also expressed appreciation for Chen Xiuyu's approach.
"No matter what, just find someone!" Zhang Shaofeng was more interested: "How did you come up with that kind of place?"
"Having known her for such a long time, I know her temperament somewhat."
Lu Lu smiled, he couldn't tell people that it was because he remembered some things in his previous life, thought of that place, and ran there to try his luck.
Zhang Shaofeng suddenly laughed: "This is fate... What are you going to do next? This mess caused by Ma Jinlan must be solved quickly, otherwise when someone comes to Qingzi's house, there will be quite a fuss.
trouble."
Lu Lu heard him mention it and took the opportunity to say: "Brother Feng, I have to trouble you to be a middleman and help with this matter. It doesn't make sense to get engaged without anyone having met... I owe you another favor.
"
Zhang Shaofeng thought for a while, then looked at Lu Lu, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go there tomorrow. You and I, brothers, don't talk about being merciful or unkind. Again, if I need help at any time, I will definitely help you."
You have to help me."
"must!"
Lu Lu smiled gratefully and turned to look at Wang Demin: "Uncle, I need to trouble you today. When you get back, give me a certificate and a letter of marriage introduction. I plan to go to the district with Xiuyu today to give the marriage certificate to me.
Got it."
Wang Demin was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively: "Aren't you going to ask Qingzi and Ma Jinlan?"
"Qingzi is fine, he's very supportive. As for Qingzi's mother, she doesn't like to see me. She wants to wait for her to agree. It's hard to do, so we can't do it the old way. We decide it ourselves!"
Lu Lu thought for a while and said with a smile: "The sooner this happens, the better."
"Then have you ever thought about how you will face Ma Jinlan in the future after doing this?" Wang Demin asked again.
"Respect what you should be filial to, and help where you should be helped. As for whether she accepts it or not, that's up to her!"
Lu Lu could only think this way. There were so many people who were disliked by their mother-in-law, and he was not the only one missing.
What can Ma Jinlan do after the raw rice is cooked?
It's up to her to decide whether she wants to feel better or whether she should just be so stubborn and seek to suffer. That's her own business.
Zhang Shaofeng listened on the sidelines and didn't say anything. He just gave Lu Lu a thumbs up.
"Okay, I'll open it for you when I get back." Wang Demin also laughed.
"Brother Feng, please go back and inform the men who are helping you find someone. I will prepare it tomorrow and treat everyone to dinner the day after tomorrow."
"Okay...go get to work!"
"Then uncle and I will take the first step!"
Lu Lu said, getting on his horse, pulling Wang Demin up as well, and then rode towards Xiushan Tun.
When they returned to Xiushantun, they could already see people returning from the mountain one after another. Lu Lu thanked everyone he saw along the way and told them about the invitation to dinner the day after tomorrow.
When they arrived at Wang Demin's house, the two of them quickly entered the house. As soon as Wang Demin saw Chen Xiuyu, he noticed the household registration certificate she was holding tightly in her hand and asked with a smile: "Girl, sir, I want to ask you one more question. Have you thought about it?"
How long will it take for you to live your whole life?"
When it came to the marriage certificate, even though I knew Chen Xiuyu would agree, I still asked cautiously.
Chen Xiuyu looked at Lu Lu, took a deep breath, and said seriously to Wang Demin: "Uncle, I have thought about it. Please give us a certificate and a letter of introduction."
After hearing this, Wang Demin stopped delaying, took a letterhead paper and a pen, and began to write seriously on the paper in semi-traditional and semi-simplified handwriting.
There were not many words, but it took almost half an hour to finish. Wang Demin took a page of letter signing paper in one hand, reviewed it carefully, signed his name, stamped it, and then handed it to Lu Lu with satisfaction.
.
"Thank you, sir. I'll thank you at the door another day!"
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he called Chen Xiuyu and walked out.
Once again, he led Chen Xiuyu on Zhui Feng's back and drove along the road to Dijiazi. Lu Lu needed to go to Dijiazi to get his household registration certificate and change his clothes.
Not far away, they both saw Ma Jinlan coming down the hillside along the path that forked toward the village.
Ma Jinlan also saw the two people riding on the horse together, her expression suddenly changed, and she ran down the trail quickly.
Lu Lu glanced at her, shook the reins, and Zhui Feng immediately started running.
Chen Xiuyu looked back at Ma Jinlan who was chasing her on the road. She suppressed the tears in her eyes and stopped looking at her. She just hugged Lu Lu tighter.
"Xiuyu, do you want to stop?" Lu Lu also looked back and asked, knowing that Chen Xiuyu was sad.
