Chapter 170 How do you want me to answer you?
"Sister Yuying, please don't be like this. Can't we talk it out nicely?"

"If your parents saw you like this, they would think I bullied you!"

"Hey! The more I talk, the more you cry, right?"

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go now!"

Li Guoqiang saw that Xu Yuying cried harder the more he talked, and he immediately wanted to get up and leave.

After all, he didn't want to pursue Xu Yuying, let alone be a bootlicker.

The reason why he agreed to come was simply because he didn't want to make his relationship with Xu Guangfu too strained.

"no!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuying immediately sat up, reached out to grab Li Guoqiang, and then said in a hurry: "You can't leave!"

"Are you still crying?"

Li Guoqiang frowned, then asked in a somewhat unpleasant tone.

"Don't cry! I won't cry anymore!"

Xu Yuying shook her head and spoke with some grievance.

In fact, if possible, she didn't want to behave so humble in front of Li Guoqiang, but who could blame her for falling in love with Li Guoqiang!
Ever since she gave Li Guoqiang a pen last time and was rejected, her mind has been filled with Li Guoqiang's shadow, and she even dreams about him at night.

Moreover, she knew that this was her last chance. If she really let Li Guoqiang leave, she would never have the chance to be with Li Guoqiang again.

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang's expression relaxed, then he nodded and said, "Sister Yuying, I know how you feel about me, but it's impossible for us to be together."

"why?"

Xu Yuying was slightly stunned, then asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Why not? Do you think I'm too old? Or do you think I'm not pretty enough?"

"no!"

Li Guoqiang shook his head and explained softly: "These are not the main reasons. The main reason is that I don't plan to find a partner here."

"You know, I'm an educated youth from the city. I might go back to the city someday."

"So, I'm very sorry, I hope you can understand, and I also hope you can find a better man."

"So that's it!"

After listening to this, Xu Yuying showed a look of sudden realization on her face.

Then, she looked at Li Guoqiang's handsome and charming face, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say it.

Li Guoqiang didn't say anything else at this time. He just silently picked up the bowl and drank a sip of boiled water.

After a while, Tian Guixiang suddenly opened the door curtain, and walked in from the outer room with a plate of fried peanuts and a pot of wine. Then she greeted them with a warm smile on her face, "Qiangzi, the food will be ready in a while, you and Xiaoying can eat some peanuts first!"

"Well, Xiaoying, you should drink with Qiangzi first."

After saying that, she stuffed the wine jug directly into Xu Yuying's hand and gave her a wink.

Seeing this, Xu Yuying couldn't help feeling a little bitter in her heart, and then silently placed the wine pot on the kang table.

Now that Li Guoqiang has made his words so clear, it would be really shameless for her to still approach him without any tact.

No matter what, she is also a grown-up girl. She had taken the initiative to hold Li Guoqiang's arm before, which was the most she could do. We can't let her act like a wife and shamelessly put meat into Li Guoqiang's mouth, right?
"Forehead"

Tian Guixiang was slightly stunned when she saw Xu Yuying's behavior, and then she couldn't help but scolded her in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "Why are you so ignorant, kid? I asked you to drink with Qiangzi, didn't you hear me?"

"Need not!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said without waiting for Xu Yuying to speak, "No, Aunt Guixiang, I don't feel like drinking right now. Let's drink with Uncle Fu later!"

Hearing this, Tian Guixiang felt a little relieved, then nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then let Uncle Fu drink with you later."

After saying this, she glared at Xu Yuying with some disappointment, then turned around and ran out in a hurry, obviously wanting to tell Xu Guangfu about Xu Yuying's non-cooperation.

Li Guoqiang watched Tian Guixiang leave, then turned around and saw Xu Yuying lowering her head with a sullen look on her face. He couldn't help but ask, "Well, Sister Yuying, you are so good, and there should be many people pursuing you. Don't you like any of them?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Xu Yuying raised her head and glared at Li Guoqiang, then spoke back with an unhappy look on her face.

Li Guoqiang: “.”

Fine!

Anyway, everything has been made clear, you can do whatever you want!

When Xu Yuying saw that Li Guoqiang did not respond, she couldn't help feeling annoyed.

She was angry at herself for not being able to control her emotions, and also angry at Li Guoqiang for being so heartless and not giving her any chance at all.

If Li Guoqiang didn't look like he was not willing to negotiate, perhaps she could consider maintaining a secret relationship with Li Guoqiang first, and then wait for Li Guoqiang to return to the city one day before marrying him.

Little did she know that it was precisely because he was worried about such a situation that Li Guoqiang spoke so bluntly, leaving her no room for maneuver.

As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

Li Guoqiang didn't think anything of it, but Xu Yuying was the first to feel a little overwhelmed.

She raised her head and glanced at Li Guoqiang, then curled her lips and asked, "Hey, if you stay here, you can't go back to the city for ten or eight years. Don't you plan to find a partner by then?"

"Don't look for it!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang shook his head and spoke without even thinking.

"Forehead"

Xu Yuying was slightly stunned, then asked unwillingly, "What if it's ten or twenty years? You can't just stay single for your whole life, right?"

"Ah!"

Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he laughed and said, "You also know that the situation outside is changing every day. How can I answer you about such a long-term matter?"

Xu Yuying: “.”

Yes!

It has only been three or four years, and the situation outside has undergone earth-shaking changes. No one can predict what will happen in the future!
Moreover, even if Li Guoqiang could not return to the city by then, she would not be able to wait until then.

So, it is useless to ask this question.

Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Yuying's speechless expression, smiled slightly, and then suddenly thought that when he went home to visit his relatives in two years, he would get a marriage certificate with Luo Huijuan.

As a result, he couldn't say anything too absolute now, lest Xu Yuying think he was a big liar in the future.

"Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Xu Yuying came back to her senses after hearing that, and asked with some confusion.

"how to say!"

Li Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "There is a girl in my family who said she would marry me after I return, and I also promised her that if she is still unmarried when I return, I will marry her."

"you"

Xu Yuying's eyes widened, and then she asked in surprise, "Is what you said true?"

"real!"

Li Guoqiang nodded, then explained softly: "Originally I didn't plan to tell anyone about this. After all, it's not settled yet, and it's so far away. If she gets married by then, wouldn't it damage her reputation?"

"That's true!"

Xu Yuying frowned slightly when she heard Li Guoqiang's explanation, then nodded slowly and agreed: "You are so far away from each other now, and you don't know when you will be able to go back in the future. It's not good for you or her to talk about this."

At this point, she paused for a moment, looked at Li Guoqiang with mixed feelings, and then continued, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."

She knew that the reason why Li Guoqiang confessed this matter to her was to make her give up completely.

But, if I like this kind of thing, how can I just say I don’t like it?

If it were really that simple, there wouldn't be so many infatuated men and women in this world, nor would there be so many tragic love stories.

In fact, when she knew that Li Guoqiang promised to go back and marry that girl, she felt a little resentful in her heart, and she had an urge to snatch Li Guoqiang away.

This is like an old toy in a child's hand. Normally, the child won't even look at it, but once someone rushes to play with it, the child will treat this old toy as the most precious thing.

In short, the good things in this world are usually stolen.

In other words, things that are not wanted are good things, while things that are not wanted are junk.

In fact, if it weren't for Xu Guangfu and Tian Guixiang, who kept telling Xu Yuying how good Li Guoqiang was and how many people in the village wanted to marry their daughters to Li Guoqiang, Xu Yuying wouldn't have fallen in love with Li Guoqiang so quickly, and liked him so much.

"Thank you!"

Li Guoqiang was slightly surprised to see Xu Yuying suddenly become so reasonable, and then he hurriedly opened his mouth to thank her.

At this time, Xu Guangfu just lifted the door curtain and walked in. Then, while carefully observing the situation of Li Guoqiang and Xu Yuying, he sat on the kang and took the main seat.

"Uncle Fu!"

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang hurriedly shouted.

"Ok!"

Xu Guangfu nodded, then tentatively asked, "What did you talk about just now?"

Hearing this, before Li Guoqiang could answer, Xu Yuying answered first: "Actually, we didn't talk about anything, we just chatted casually."

"Oh?"

Xu Guangfu frowned, then looked at Xu Yuying with some confusion, not understanding what tricks his precious daughter was playing.

You were clearly thinking about Li Guoqiang a few days ago. Now that he has invited him to your home, why don't you take the opportunity to have a good chat with him?

Could it be that this is because I am too shy?
Thinking of this, he silently took a puff of his pipe, thinking in his mind how to help Xu Yuying.

However, before he could think of any solution, Xu Yuying suddenly said, "Dad, come out with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, she didn't care about Xu Guangfu's reaction and just got off the bed and walked out.

Seeing this, Xu Guangfu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed.

Tian Guixiang saw Xu Yuying and Xu Guangfu coming out of the inner room one after another. She was immediately confused and hurriedly went forward to ask, "What's the matter? Why did you two come out?"

"Mom, Dad, I don't want to go on a blind date with Li Guoqiang anymore!"

Xu Yuying glanced at Tian Guixiang, then spoke seriously.

"what?"

Tian Guixiang's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she asked anxiously, "Didn't you say before that you liked him? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"

"Yup!"

Xu Guangfu also asked anxiously: "You obviously liked him before, why did you change so suddenly now?"

"Did he just say something to you?"

"Dad, this is none of his business. I just think we are not suitable for each other!"

Xu Yuying shook her head, and then spoke somewhat hypocritically.

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Tian Guixiang stamped her feet, and then said unhappily, "You haven't even talked to him yet, how do you know that you two are not suitable?"

"Let me tell you! Qiangzi is a good man that you can't find even with a lantern. If you miss this shop, you will never be able to come back again!"

"Mom, I said it's inappropriate, so you and my dad don't have to worry about it anymore!"

Xu Yuying suppressed the discomfort in her heart and spoke stubbornly.

After saying this, she didn't care about Tian Guixiang and Xu Guangfu's reactions and turned around and went into the innermost room.

Upon seeing this, Xu Guangfu and Tian Guixiang were so angry that they were speechless.

If Xu Yuying wasn't their own daughter, they would really want to give up on her.

After being angry, they looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

I don’t know what sin this couple committed to have such a willful daughter!
Li Xiuqin stood in front of the stove. Seeing Xu Guangfu and Tian Guixiang looking worried, she hurried over and suggested softly, "Dad, Mom, how about I go and talk to Xiaoying?"

"What do you say?"

Xu Guangfu glanced at Li Xiuqin, then said angrily: "She is already such a grown-up, and she doesn't understand anything. Do we still need to explain it to her?"

"If you ask me, she won't cry until she sees the coffin. In a few years, when she's older and no one wants her, she'll regret it!"

"Anyway, I don't want to care about it anymore. Whoever wants to care can do it!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the inner room. Only Tian Guixiang and Li Xiuzhi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were left standing there, looking at each other. It seemed that they had not expected Xu Guangfu to be so angry that they even said they didn't want to care.

Li Guoqiang, who was sitting on the kang in the inner room, hadn't figured out what Xu Yuying was doing when he saw Xu Guangfu walking in with an angry look on his face.

Then, without waiting for him to say hello, Xu Guangfu grabbed the wine jug and shouted loudly.

"Come on, Qiangzi, let's drink!"
