Actually, when Luo Yang saw Zhang Jing's identity card, he wanted to ask this question.
Now that Tang Guihua had asked for him, it was even better.
Zhang Jing calmly said, "In general, the opportunities in the provincial city are better than in the small county. However, I want to train my abilities and come back to try doing some business. Let's see how it goes. For now, I'll learn from my master. If Master doesn't mind, I can also help manage the martial arts school."
In the future, as the martial arts school expanded, it indeed needed people to manage it.
"Sure. Sister Jing, it has been said since ancient times that there are all sorts of strange things in folklore, like the Fox Immortal and such. Could this be true?" Luo Yang looked up at the moon, pretending to ask casually.
"I'm not sure, it might be true, or it might be false." Zhang Jing replied.
At that time, Luo Yang's soul had left his body and was waiting at the Village Office for Zhang Jing, and from her actions, it was apparent she had sensed the direction where Luo Yang's soul was.
Whether Zhang Jing had seen Luo Yang's soul was still an unknown.
"Why suddenly talk about this?" Tang Guihua asked curiously.
"Sister Hua, a snake!" Luo Yang suddenly yelled.
This action was also meant to change the subject.
Luo Yang didn't want Tang Guihua to get involved in matters between him and Zhang Jing.
It was filled with danger.
Tang Guihua exclaimed, moving closer to Luo Yang.
"Where is the snake?!"
"Sister Hua, if I hold you, you won't be afraid."
Saying this, Luo Yang then picked Tang Guihua up across his body.
Tang Guihua wrapped her arms tightly around Luo Yang's neck, still looking for the snake.
By this time, the three of them had walked several meters forward.
"Niu Zai, are you deliberately trying to scare me?" Tang Guihua playfully chided.
"Sister Hua, there really was a snake, but it ran away," Luo Yang laughed.
Hearing this, Zhang Jing chuckled softly.
Tang Guihua realized Luo Yang was lying and playfully punched his sturdy chest with her small fists.
"I won't let you off!"
"Sister Hua, there really was a snake."
…
…
While joking around, they had almost reached the doorstep of Tang Guihua's house.
"Put me down," Tang Guihua requested.
Although Tang Guihua's parents hadn't fully accepted Luo Yang as their daughter's boyfriend, they knew Tang Guihua considered Luo Yang her other half.
In such a situation, they had no choice but to initially acknowledge Luo Yang as Tang Guihua's boyfriend.
However, Tang Guihua couldn't be too affectionate with Luo Yang in front of her parents, as she was aware that her parents were still assessing Luo Yang as their prospective son-in-law.
Luo Yang then put Tang Guihua down, and after she steadied herself, he whispered in her ear, "Sister Hua, should I change how I address your parents when I see them?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Guihua giggled.
"Not yet." Tang Guihua said with a smile.
Zhang Jing felt somewhat awkward standing there and could only turn her head around, pretending to admire the night scene.
Every time he visited Tang Guihua's house and met her parents, Luo Yang could feel their complicated emotions from their gaze.
At the beginning, Luo Yang was quite nervous.
After many visits, he became accustomed to it.
Now, when seeing Tang's parents, Luo Yang was very calm.
In the front of the house, Tang's parents were sitting in rocking bamboo chairs, enjoying the cool breeze.
Luo Yang walked up to greet them and even offered a cigarette to Father Tang.
After Tang Guihua went upstairs with Luo Yang and Zhang Jing, Mother Tang pointed towards the direction of the second floor; Father Tang smoked his cigarette and shook his head with a bitter smile.
The daughter was grown up, and the parents couldn't force her to marry someone.
Although in modern times love is free and women don't need their family to arrange their marriage.
However, in the countryside, it was still very common for parents to choose partners for their children.
Even if they did not completely control the decision, the opinions of the parents had a significant impact.
Actually, the situation was similar for city dwellers.
The customs passed down over thousands of years did not just disappear because someone said they should.
Moreover, to step back ten thousand steps,
Parents who harm their children are extreme cases, while those who love and care for their children are the mainstream.
Parents are experienced, have seen more of the world, are generally more accurate in judging people, and their method of taking everything into consideration is more comprehensive.
What parents strive for is also for their children to find the right partner and to spare them some detours.
Unlike those in love, whose intelligence seems to drop several notches, seeing only the good qualities in the other and overlooking their faults until marriage reveals them, leading to late regrets.
As the saying goes, "Men fear choosing the wrong career, and women fear marrying the wrong man."
Once a woman marries, she follows her husband, and if she discovers they are not compatible after marrying and seeks a divorce, it not only harms her deeply, but if there are children involved, it harms them significantly.
So, it makes sense that parents, especially regarding their daughters finding a partner, are vigilant.
Tang Guihua was one of the most beautiful women in the village and had been the apple of her parents' eyes since she was a child, pampered despite being from a middle-class family.
For this daughter, Father Tang and Mother Tang hoped she would marry a good man, not only for her own happiness, but also hoping she and her husband could support Tang Dexing.
Presently, Tang Guihua had chosen Luo yang.
The elder Tangs were not fully satisfied with Luo yang but would not completely deny him either.
After all, Luo yang had solved big problems for the Tang Family.
The most important thing was that Luo yang was not the same as he once was.
Luo yang now had the potential to become a highly eligible bachelor in the near future, a promising investment indeed.
Father Tang and Mother Tang saw a good future for Luo yang, although they were not very optimistic about the current economic situation of the Luo Family.
However, according to Father Tang and Mother Tang, Luo yang and another village beauty, An Yuying, were recognized by the villagers as a couple.
Therein lay the problem.
Father Tang and Mother Tang did not wish to indulge Luo yang's fantasy of embracing both women, and had been looking for a suitable opportunity to discuss this issue with him.
Going upstairs, they saw Tang Dexing watching television.
Since having a feud with the Lin Family, Tang Dexing rarely left the village, fearing retaliation.
Although the tea shop in the town had been taken back, Tang Dexing dared not open it.
Luo yang was still helping the Tang Family find someone suitable to manage the shop.
Tang Dexing had deep respect for Luo yang as a brother-in-law, greeting him with, "Brother-in-law."
This title, Tang Guihua also agreed to.
Luo yang nodded and said, "Dexing, when you have time, I'll teach you a Minor Capture Technique."
Tang Dexing joyfully responded, "Great!"
Before entering Tang Guihua's room, Luo yang asked Tang Dexing to entertain Zhang Jing.
Upon entering the room, Luo yang casually closed the door.
Tang Guihua walked over to the bed and sat down, staring at Luo yang with puffed cheeks.
On the way here, Luo yang had guessed she was jealous.
Thus, he sat down beside her on the edge of the bed and reached out to hold her hand.
"Sister Guihua," Luo yang softly called.
"Stop pulling and tugging, I'm not familiar with you!" Tang Guihua slightly turned her body, looking away.
Seeing Luo yang's lips curl with a mischievous smile, Tang Guihua climbed onto the bed to escape him.
As Tang Guihua crawled on the bed, Luo yang's glance shifted to her rounded buttocks.
"Sister Guihua, don't run," Luo yang also climbed onto the bed.
"Giggle, why are you grabbing my foot?" Tang Guihua's left foot was caught by Luo yang.
She tried to kick Luo yang away, but lacked the strength, so she had to sit up on the bed first, then raised her right foot to kick him.
Luo yang switched to his right hand to grab Tang Guihua's left ankle and held her right ankle with his left hand.
Then, gently applying force with both hands, he pulled her over so she sat astride his lap.
