97: Which woman doesn’t love beauty?

The sharp Nguyen Thi Linh immediately noticed Li Qinghe yawning.

She leaned forward with concern, whispering next to Li Qinghe's ear, "Brother, should we go back?"

Li Qinghe turned to look at Nguyen Thi Shui and Nguyen Tan Minh, who were still enthusiastically watching the show, and Luong Thi Thu, who was struggling to see through the gaps in the crowd.

"A Ling, let's wait a little longer. Look, A Ming and the others are having a great time watching it." Li Qinghe was quite considerate of others' feelings.

Seeing the three people so engrossed in such a clumsy performance, he felt immense sympathy.

These poor children, their material lives were not abundant, and their spiritual world was equally impoverished.

Meanwhile, in the families that had gotten rich first in Vietnam, children were already playing with the world's latest games.

"Brother, how about this: let A Ming and the others watch the show here, and I'll go for a walk with you."

Li Qinghe thought about it and realized there was indeed no need to stay there and endure the torture of such a shoddy performance.

So he had Nguyen Thi Linh turn around and inform Nguyen Thi Shui and the others.

Watching Nguyen Thi Shui and Nguyen Tan Minh nod their heads like pounding garlic, their eyes never leaving the stage, Li Qinghe directly pulled out his phone and filmed a piece of their 'dark history'.

He instructed Nguyen Tan Minh to take good care of the two girls.

Li Qinghe pulled Nguyen Thi Linh and squeezed out of the crowd.

The world felt quiet.

"A Ling, look how beautiful the stars are all over the sky."

In the mountains with little pollution, on a clear night, the stars were incredibly visible.

Even with the Mid-Autumn Moon hanging like a white jade plate in the sky, countless stars still sparkled above the firmament.

Such a sight, whether in Longguo or present-day Vietnam, could only be seen in the countryside. Considering the situation in Xiangyang County, it was likely that such clear stars could also be seen in the county town.

"Brother, by your side, everything looks beautiful."

Nguyen Thi Linh had a gentle expression, and under Li Qinghe's guidance, she had grown brave enough to express her true feelings.

The two walked slowly hand-in-hand down the street, where the lights were dimming and the crowd was thinning, enjoying the warm, heart-to-heart atmosphere.

After walking for a while, Nguyen Thi Linh said out of the blue, "Brother, I want to make you happy in Xiangyang."

"I am very happy," Li Qinghe replied, puzzled.

Nguyen Thi Linh said nothing, simply throwing herself into Li Qinghe's arms.

Li Qinghe didn't ask further. He knew that this kind-hearted girl, when facing many problems, would prioritize him above all else.

Therefore, he had absolutely nothing to worry about; this girl would never harm him.

The two walked around Gaoping Village's streets several times. Under the moonlight, the small town had a hazy beauty completely different from daytime.

Before the fair ended, Li Qinghe and Nguyen Thi Linh met Nguyen Thi Shui and the other two, who had left early, on the street.

"Brother-in-law!" Nguyen Thi Shui skipped over, hooking one arm through Li Qinghe's and still clutching her rabbit lantern reluctantly with the other hand.

She now felt increasingly attached to being by Li Qinghe's side.

Even the scent of heather on Li Qinghe's body smelled good to her.

It could be said that she had no resistance to Li Qinghe in any way.

Luong Thi Thu watched Nguyen Thi Shui and Li Qinghe's interaction with envy. She envied Nguyen Thi Shui for having such a brother-in-law; she wanted one too.

Unfortunately, she only had a brother, no sister.

"Why did you come out early? The show still seems to be on for a while," Li Qinghe's gaze swept over the three of them.

"Brother-in-law, I called them out. After the show ends, everyone will disperse, and our car will be very difficult to get out. We'll have to wait a long time to drive away."

Nguyen Tan Minh looked calm.

Li Qinghe looked at his handsome brother-in-law, smiling and giving a thumbs-up. To think things through so thoroughly, he really was a meticulous person.

"A Ming arranged it very well. Let's get in the car quickly and leave Gaoping Village before the motorcycle army comes out."

With Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Shui on either side, Li Qinghe gestured towards the parking spot and strode towards the Wrangler with the two sisters.

Poor Luong Thi Thu jogged along behind, with Nguyen Tan Minh bringing up the rear.

As the Wrangler roared up a steep slope, Nguyen Thi Shui pointed at the temple fair, which had been quiet just minutes before, and shouted, "The fair is over!"

Under the moonlight, the area of the Gaoping Village temple fair was instantly pierced by thousands of motorcycle lights.

It was like a large hedgehog with glowing quills rapidly expanding.

However, this motorcycle army no longer posed any problem for Li Qinghe and the others.

Because Luong Thi Thu had already received her father's permission, she could stay overnight at Nguyen Thi Shui's house tonight.

However, this meant Nguyen Tan Minh had to stay overnight at a friend's house.

So, Li Qinghe dropped Nguyen Tan Minh off at his friend's house at the village entrance.

He watched Nguyen Tan Minh successfully secure a place to stay before leaving.

The red Wrangler quickly pulled up in front of the tin house, and the girls rushed inside.

"Wow, Mom, you're so beautiful!" Nguyen Thi Shui's voice rang out loudly in the house, as if something incredible had happened.

When Li Qinghe turned off the engine, got out, and walked into the house, he found that Tran Thi Bao Anh was dressed very beautifully tonight.

She stood in the house wearing a striped short-sleeved T-shirt and a white pencil skirt, looking a little embarrassed at the girls who had rushed in.

Tran Thi Bao Anh

"Mom is really beautiful."

Nguyen Thi Linh also praised her.

"Auntie, you're much prettier than my mom!" Luong Thi Thu covered her small mouth beside them, clearly envying Nguyen Thi Shui's mother for being so young and beautiful.

But as Li Qinghe walked in, he noticed some details: Tran Thi Bao Anh had even put on jewelry—a pearl necklace around her neck, earrings, and a bracelet on her wrist.

What woman in this world doesn't love beauty?

It seemed Tran Thi Bao Anh's love for beauty had merely been suppressed by the pressures of life.

This time, Li Qinghe and Nguyen Thi Linh had bought her many beautiful clothes. Seeing hope in her life, she took advantage of everyone being out to dress herself up and admire her own beauty at home.

"Auntie Bao Anh, life is only a few decades long. I believe A Ling and A Shui both hope you can be beautiful and happy every day."

Seeing Tran Thi Bao Anh feeling a little ashamed that the children had caught her showing off.

Li Qinghe quickly spoke to comfort her.

This woman had endured immense hardship for her children for the past decade or so.

She had raised the well-behaved and obedient Nguyen Thi Linh.

For this alone, Li Qinghe was determined to ensure she lived a good life every day from now on.

It was fortunate that Nguyen Tan Minh hadn't come home today, which made Tran Thi Bao Anh feel relatively more natural when facing her two daughters.

Under everyone's persuasion, Tran Thi Bao Anh was no longer so embarrassed. She quickly went into the kitchen and brought out several basins of food onto the mat.

"Everyone, come and eat the brown sugar cakes! I also fried spring rolls and made eel porridge. This is the stir-fried eel A-He likes to eat."

"Haha, great! I'm just starting to feel a little hungry."

Nguyen Thi Shui happily pulled Luong Thi Thu to the kitchen to wash their hands.

Meanwhile, Li Qinghe looked at Tran Thi Bao Anh strangely, as she brought out that jar of Kaka Long medicated wine again.

Auntie, are you serious? A Ling is already overwhelmed!
