"What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Song Jiajia said.
Sang Yu lowered her head immediately, lost in thought.
Song Jiajia, somewhat impatient, said, "Sang Yu, did you hear me!"
"Jiajia!" Chen Jinlan wasn't worried about Sang Yu. She was concerned about how serious Song Jiajia was about marrying that Lu Hao.
How could that be? How does Lu Hao compare to Jiang Jingming?
"Aunt, do you agree with this?" Sang Yu suddenly asked quietly.
Chen Jinlan didn't speak, obviously disagreeing.
However, Song Jiajia couldn't hold back and said, "Of course my mom agrees!"
Just as Chen Jinlan was about to speak, Song Jiajia stopped her, "Mom, don't say anything."
Sang Yu slowly raised her head, her small face full of bitterness: "Fine, cousin, I'll swap with you."
Saying this, Sang Yu went back to the room and took the tokens left during their engagement by their respective parents.
Lu Hao's father and Sang Yu's father were in the same military unit and both died honorably on a mission.
Back in the military days, Lu Hao's mother and Sang Yu's mother became in-laws and exchanged tokens at that time.
Sang Yu's face was sad, but her heart was elated.
Regardless of what kind of person Jiang Jingming is, Lu Hao isn't worth it.
The only reason Lu Hao could go south for business isn't it by exploiting Sang Yu?
Song Jiajia, since you love this freeloader so much, you can have him.
Sang Yu looked at the token in her hand with a sad expression.
Song Jiajia couldn't wait and snatched it over, then casually threw her own token to Sang Yu.
"Here you go, don't say I'm bullying you, your man is a police captain, how many people envy that."
Envy? Why not marry him yourself if you're so envious?
Sang Yu picked up the token from the ground, taking things one step at a time.
Anyway, she wouldn't be as obedient as the original owner.
Chen Jinlan witnessed the whole process, feeling a headache.
Who knows what's gotten into Song Jiajia.
——
In the evening, when Song Zhenhua returned from the factory and heard about this, he was furious.
"Nonsense!"
Song Jiajia sat at the dining table, not daring to make a sound.
She was most afraid of Song Zhenhua.
Chen Jinlan was also somewhat frightened.
Only Sang Yu was chewing her food slowly.
She wondered how she could get Song Zhenhua to return the compensation money from back then.
Three thousand yuan was not a small amount in the eighties.
Moving out was unlikely, does she really have to get married?
An arranged marriage wasn't good.
Who knows what kind of person the other side is.
Oh, it's so annoying.
"I don't agree with this. You two exchange the tokens back now!" Song Zhenhua reprimanded.
Sang Yu glanced at Song Jiajia, who must be unwilling.
Song Jiajia happened to catch Sang Yu's look, thinking Sang Yu was mocking her.
She immediately stood up and said to Song Zhenhua, "Dad, I'm not changing back. I want to marry Lu Hao, no matter what you say."
After speaking, she didn't eat, and just ran out.
Chen Jinlan quickly chased after her, but Song Jiajia ran too fast to catch up.
Chen Jinlan returned and glared at Sang Yu, who was still eating.
Sang Yu pretended not to notice.
"Kids' father, can't you talk nicely?"
"Talk nicely? Such a big matter and not discussing with me, you two mother and daughter have some nerve."
Song Zhenhua was a man with strong chauvinistic tendencies.
So, this time Chen Jinlan and Song Jiajia really touched his sore spot.
"Uncle, Aunt, I've finished eating, I'll go back now."
Song Zhenhua originally intended to say something to Sang Yu, but seeing Sang Yu's timid and weak appearance, he couldn't bring himself to say anything, and waved her away.
Sang Yu turned and went back to her room.
She needed to properly plan how to leave this house and retrieve the three thousand yuan compensation.
Once Sang Yu was back in her room, Chen Jinlan said, "I tried to persuade Jiajia, but I don't know what's gotten into her, she insists on marrying Lu Hao."
"I think she's asking for trouble." Song Zhenhua glanced at Sang Yu's room.
He lowered his voice, "Lu Hao's family has just two old folks and a sister. Going there won't it be eating bitter?"
"I told Jiajia the same thing, but she just won't listen."
Song Zhenhua snorted coldly, "In any case, I won't agree with this, and if the neighbors find out Jiajia's marrying such a man, where will I put my face, plus now everyone knows Jiajia is to be engaged to Jiang Jingming, she's just out of her mind!"
"Alright, don't be mad, I'll try persuading her again." Chen Jinlan quickly said.
Song Zhenhua's expression eased a bit.
That night, Song Jiajia didn't return, and Chen Jinlan assumed she was staying over at a friend's place, so she didn't worry.
Song Jiajia used to do this often.
Actually, after leaving home, Song Jiajia went to find Lu Hao.
Standing at Lu Hao's door, Song Jiajia was a bit excited.
Just thinking that in two years, Lu Hao would be a ten-thousand-yuan household and a big boss, she couldn't help being excited.
"Comrade, hello? Who are you looking for?"
Lu Hao returned home to find a female comrade standing at the door.
Song Jiajia turned around and saw Lu Hao, her face blushing: "I... I'm here to see Comrade Lu Hao."
"Looking for me?" Lu Hao curiously looked Song Jiajia up and down.
Not bad looking, better than the girls in their factory.
She seemed quite well-dressed and wealthy.
Lu Hao smiled gently, "Comrade, I am Lu Hao. What can I do for you?"
Of course, she knew he was Lu Hao, surprised by how gentle Lu Hao was.
"I, I'm Song Jiajia."
Lu Hao: "Hello, Comrade Song."
Song Jiajia blushed, "Comrade Lu."
Seeing her blush shyly, Lu Hao smiled smugly.
"Comrade Song, have we met before?"
Song Jiajia nodded, then shook her head. Not in this life but in the past one.
Seeing this, Lu Hao chuckled, "Haha, Comrade Song, you are interesting."
Hearing Lu Hao's laughter made Song Jiajia even shyer.
In the past life, she only exchanged two or three sentences with Jiang Jingming, who was always busy at the police station, never home to chat.
Now chatting with Lu Hao, Song Jiajia felt a bit thrilled.
"Comrade Song, you haven't told me what you're here for."
Song Jiajia looked up, shyly glanced at Lu Hao, then quickly looked away, "I... I'm your soon-to-be wife, so I wanted to meet you."
Lu Hao was stunned. He knew he had a fiancé, but hadn't seen her in years.
But he remembered she didn't have the surname Song, it was Sang.
