Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Just as Qin Meiru was clinging to a sliver of hope, Old Zeng spoke up.

"Xiao Qin, Chang Kun is just like you. He used to be from the countryside and hasn't been in the city for very long. You might have heard of him."

The day before yesterday, Chang Kun mentioned that the Qin family had accepted betrothal gifts from others, but later regretted it and demanded more betrothal gifts.

At that time, Lao Zeng felt that Chang Kun should be familiar with the Qin family, at least they were from neighboring villages.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have immediately identified the Qin family just by hearing a name like Shi Zhenxiang.

Seeing that Qin Meiru's expression was off, Lao Zeng directly probed her.

Qin Meiru felt dizzy and weak in the legs, almost unable to stand.

"I...I don't know this person!"

She didn't realize that her voice had suddenly become hoarse and her body was trembling uncontrollably.

"Meiru, what's wrong?" Lu Jiawei asked with concern, unaware that Qin Meiru and Chang Kun were old acquaintances.

"It's nothing!" Qin Meiru trembled a few times, looked at Lü Jiawei, and forced a smile.

"Um, I suddenly feel a little unwell and want to go home first."

"Are you dizzy again?" Lu Jiawei wanted to go forward to help her. Yesterday, when he met Qin Meiru, she hadn't eaten breakfast and had fainted, which had startled Lu Jiawei.

"Uh, a little bit, I'd better go home first." With that, Qin Meiru hurriedly tried to rush out the door.

She couldn't even imagine what it would be like if she ran into Chang Kun here.

Moreover, judging from their tone, Chang Kun is already married and is taking his wife on a long trip.

In this situation, she wanted to avoid meeting him even more.

"No! You're not feeling well, sit down and rest for a bit!" Lu Jiawei quickly stopped her, afraid that Qin Meiru might get into an accident on the road. "Wait here, I'll go find you something to eat."

"No need, I have some food here..." Qin Meiru took out cornbread from the cloth bag in her chest and said shyly, "These were steamed by my mother. We don't have anything good at home, so she asked me to bring you a few to try."

Lu Jiawei rubbed his hands together and said, "This... Auntie has really gone to a lot of trouble!"

The cornbreads that Qin Meiru took out were all a pure golden yellow, and you could tell at a glance that they were made from pure cornmeal.

Hou Jun patted Lü Jiawei on the shoulder: "Xiao Lü, your mother-in-law treats you really well. This cornbread looks delicious!"

Xiao Yu was also a little envious. Lu Jiawei's blind date was good-looking, and his mother-in-law was good to him. He was free from the trouble of not being able to find a wife.

……

While the people in the office were discussing it, Chang Kun and Cheng Min had already packed up and were pushing their bikes toward the train station.

"Dad, Mom, don't bother seeing me off anymore. If you keep going, it'll be almost at my workplace."

Liu Meifen and Chang Dashan couldn't bear to part with their son and daughter-in-law. They saw them off from their doorstep to the alley entrance, then onto the main road, and then for quite a distance along the main road.

"Xiao Kun, please take good care of Xiao Min on the way."

"Mother, I understand!"

"When you're out and about, don't stand out; safety first!"

"Father, I understand!"

"Big brother, please remember me while you're out there!"

"Alright, Xiuer, I've got it!"

"Xiaomin, you're a girl, so you're more thoughtful. Take good care of each other with Xiaokun while you're out."

"Mother, I understand! Don't worry, we'll be back as soon as possible."

Even though they were reluctant, Chang Kun and Cheng Min still took the steps to leave.

"Chang Kun, thank you!"

Cheng Min took the initiative to hold Chang Kun's hand tightly, her eyes slightly red.

She knew that Chang Kun was doing all this for her, to help her find her mother and younger brother, which was why he had gone to such lengths, enduring the pain of separation from his family, and traveling thousands of miles away.

"I'm your man, and you're thanking me?" Chang Kun gently scratched Cheng Min's palm. "Say thank you again, and you'll be in for some serious discipline tonight!"

Being teased made Cheng Min forget the sadness of parting.

"Pah! We're going to take the train, and you still dare to think about such things! Behave yourself!"

"Who said we were taking the train? We bought sleeper tickets, and Sister Wu arranged a private carriage for us!" Chang Kun whispered to Cheng Min.

"The carriage is enclosed; no one can see or hear you. Outside the window are green trees and fields. Just imagine how exciting that is..."

Cheng Min didn't expect anything exciting; she just imagined herself sitting on the bed with Chang Kun in the small carriage, chatting leisurely while the beautiful scenery outside the window passed by.

Just imagining that scene made her feel wonderful.

Seeing that Cheng Min didn't react, Chang Kun didn't say anything more. This girl was easily embarrassed, so it was better to just do it directly than to say more.

"Now that we've found Mom and my little brother, our family will never be separated again, okay?"

Cheng Min still felt a pang of sadness at parting. Even before boarding the train, she was already missing Xiu'er's tearful face.

"Fine! You're the wife, you're in charge!"

This trip serves two purposes: first, to find his mother-in-law and brother-in-law; and second, to take Cheng Min on a tour of the beautiful landscapes, a kind of honeymoon for their future lives, so that when they grow old, they won't even have these wonderful memories of their first marriage.

First, head south to Nanjing to see if we can pinpoint my mother-in-law's exact location.

"Alright! Stop making that long face. You're going out this time to reunite with your mother. Give me a smile."

"Old man? I'm hitting the old man!"

The two chased each other, their laughter dispelling the sorrow of parting.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Meiru was helped to sit at the desk by Lü Jiawei, feeling restless as if her whole body was covered in ants.

She kept saying she was fine and just needed to rest at home, but Lü Jiawei stopped her several times.

Lu Jiawei was genuinely afraid that Qin Meiru would faint like she did yesterday. If something happened to her, it would be too late to regret it.

Old Zeng crossed his arms, squinted, and scanned Qin Meiru up and down, the more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

I had only mentioned Chang Kun's name a few times, and this woman acted strangely, as if she was in a hurry to run away.

Could it be that her family not only knows Chang Kun, but also has a grudge against him?

Otherwise, why wouldn't she dare to meet with Chang Kun?

But no matter what, as Xiao Lü's mentor, he has a responsibility to help him choose a good wife.

The more Qin Meiru wanted to leave, the more he wanted to keep her here.

"Xiao Qin, since you're not feeling well, why don't you rest here a bit longer? These are all family, so there's no need to worry about causing trouble."

"Hey monkey, don't you have any common sense? Hurry up and pour some water!"

"Xiao Yu, go to Xiao Wang's office and get some brown sugar to make some sugar water for Xiao Qin."

Old Zeng made arrangements in an orderly manner. Sometimes when his wife was not feeling well, drinking hot sugar water would make her feel better.

"Um... Uncle Zeng, I'm fine now." Qin Meiru stood up, stamped her foot, and said, "See, I'm perfectly fine now, no need to trouble you to pour me some water."

All she could think about now was escaping this place as quickly as possible, so that Chang Kun wouldn't see her and ruin her marriage with Lü Jiawei.

Just then, Chang Kun, holding Cheng Min's small hand, slowly walked into the police compound.
