Chapter 766: Concordance (3)_1
Tie Tou was agitated and spoke incoherently, unsure of what to do. Rubbing his hands subconsciously, he ended up rubbing his chilblains, making the already ghastly wound look even more ferocious. He himself winced from the pain.
Mo Yan was torn between laughter and tears. After her laughter faded, her expression gradually grew serious, "Brother Tie Tou, have you ever thought about how the villagers would view you and Miss Liu if you really were to be together?"
Liu Qingqing had visited Liu Yang Village Old Man Mo’s House; it was impossible to conceal her identity. Moreover, she had no family of her own, and her behavior was very different from the peasant girls, which would definitely raise suspicions over time.
Some people walk together for a while and then part ways, not necessarily because the feelings have faded, but because they cannot withstand a lot of external pressure. Mo Yan was very worried that the village gossip would eventually hurt these two people, turning them into a pair of resentful partners and ending with a gloomy separation.
She had thought Tie Tou would be stumped by this question, but his response stunned Mo Yan greatly, and she would never forget the determined look in his eyes and his emphatic words.
"Sister Yan, Tie Tou is a simple man, doesn’t understand any grand principles, but Tie Tou knows that a man lives his life for himself, for his family. What the outsiders say, how they see it, what does it have to do with Tie Tou? They say what they say, Tie Tou lives his life, not eating their food, not drinking their water, why should Tie Tou care about what they say?"
...
Now that she knew where Liu Qingqing was staying, Mo Yan went directly by carriage, sparing herself from being distressed by Tie Tou’s foolish appearance.
The place where Liu Qingqing rented was somewhat remote; Mo Yan drove around for quite a while before she found the big door with copper plating that Tie Tou had mentioned.
