Chapter 98: Can I Also Go to School?
Shen Meng felt Lu Zhenping’s gaze burning hotly. She tilted her head slightly, her heart in turmoil. Although they had only been together for a few days, she could tell that this man was upright and resolute, someone she could entrust herself to. Moreover, their communication had been very harmonious, stirring emotions and growing fondness within her.
Thinking about how she used to handle project pitches and dinner meetings with ease, and even though she was inexperienced in relationships, she should not be this indecisive. Moreover, the children were a consideration. Maybe it was worth a try!
"I trust you, whether you’re in the army or at home, as long as we can live a good life."
Lu Zhenping’s eyes brightened, understanding that she was accepting him as he gripped her hand tightly.
"Okay."
Shen Meng looked at the money in her hand and pursed her lips before speaking: "I should tell you about the bricks and tiles. You know the situation with my family’s old house, it’s been made of mud bricks for decades, and not to mention the thatched roof is rotten, the walls are constantly being eroded by rain, losing earth and crumbling. If we don’t repair it soon, it’ll be hard to survive the winter. I saw that we have some money at home, so I borrowed it. In the next few days, we should be able to start building, just that... we’re still a bit short."
"How much?"
Shen Meng suddenly raised her head and looked at him, steadying her heart before saying, "Around three hundred yuan, mainly because I want to build it larger. Xiao Bin is at the age for marriage, before long he’ll be able to seek a match. If our house looks nicer, good families might consider him for their daughters."
