Chapter 1734 - 1736: Departure
It was already dark.
Yang Dong lingered at the entrance of Hope Academy for a long time.
Since Li Chuntao woke up, he hadn’t had a chance to say a word to her.
He felt he was just too stupid.
Now he was going to Lin County again, not knowing how many days he would be gone, he wanted to inform her, and that’s why he came.
Raising his hand, wanting to knock on the Academy’s door.
But before he could knock, there was a sound from inside.
"Who is it?"
Hearing the voice, Yang Dong hurriedly answered, "Third Brother, it’s me."
Chuntao’s third brother came out on his way to the latrine, noticed a figure at the door, and came to ask, not expecting it was Yang Dong. He opened the door and asked, "Is there something you need?"
He had observed Yang Dong’s actions, helping a lot with chores.
But his younger sister was against this marriage, so their family hadn’t allowed Yang Dong to interact with her these days, to avoid village gossip.
Yang Dong actually understood the Li Family’s intentions, fearing village gossip, after all, they weren’t officially engaged, so he kept doing things quietly without complaint, thinking that once he returned from Lin County, he would propose, and then visits would be legitimate.
Therefore, he didn’t plan to enter but stood at the entrance, saying, "Third Brother, our family will leave for Lin County early tomorrow morning. We’re not sure how many days we’ll be gone. I wanted to let you know, if anything comes up, you can contact my uncle and the others."
"Alright!"
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, with no more words exchanged, Yang Dong looked at the house and worriedly asked, "How is she?"
"She’s fine, her wound is almost healed." Chuntao’s third brother didn’t give Yang Dong a hard time.
Hearing this, Yang Dong was relieved internally; as long as she was well, that was good. Seeing no more to say, he said, "Then I’ll head back."
"Okay."
Yang Dong turned and left, Chuntao’s third brother closed the door.
Seeing Yang Dong like this, Chuntao’s third brother thought Yang Dong wasn’t a bad person, didn’t have any devious thoughts, seemed quite honest and down-to-earth, but his younger sister...
Fate is unpredictable; no matter what he thought, he still had to listen to his younger sister.
No matter how good Yang Dong was, he was on his younger sister’s side.
After going inside, he mentioned the Yang Family’s plan to go to Lin County.
Chuntao’s father said, "I see our daughter’s wound is almost healed, why don’t we return to Stone Village tomorrow?"
They had been away for some time, they had to return eventually, after all, Stone Village was their home, and they were also worried about the people at home; if it weren’t for letting the Boss and the second brother go back first, they’d have come over earlier.
Chuntao’s father’s suggestion met with no objections; they couldn’t just stay there indefinitely.
Anyway, these conditions were worse than home, plus there were many people; in the daytime, there were children, and they couldn’t rest well.
Chuntao’s mother, concerned about her daughter’s health, asked Li Chuntao’s opinion, "Daughter, what do you think?"
"Mother, let’s follow Father’s suggestion and go back."
Li Chuntao felt happy at the Academy too, but after all, her parents couldn’t stay with her here all the time, so she decided to go home to recuperate first. Once her health was restored, if she was still worried about the Academy, she could come over again then.
And so, the next day, after the Yang Family left for Lin County, the Li Family also returned to Stone Village.
