1970, A Bit Sweet

He Tiantian treated everyone around her with a grateful heart. However, reaching middle age, she discovered she had been living inside a full-bodied lie.

Returning to the year 1970, He Tianti...

Chapter 321 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

321

After returning home, Lin Xiaoru pondered how to make things happen! Only by doing this well could she gain leverage over Qi Shuqiang.

Huang Jingli had prepared the meal and called Lin Xiaoru to eat, but Lin Xiaoru was too engrossed in her thoughts and didn't hear her.

"Xiaoru, hurry up and eat!" Huang Jingli said, "The food will get cold soon."

"Okay, okay," Lin Xiaoru said irritably. "There's nothing good to eat anyway, so it doesn't matter whether I eat or not!"

But Lin Xiaoru said that, but she didn't hesitate. She picked out the bowl of thick porridge and drank it, while the remaining bowl of rice porridge was for Huang Jingli.

Huang Jingli was already used to Lin Xiaoru like this, so she wasn't surprised and kept all the hatred in her heart.

Lin Xiaoru was in a bad mood, probably because she hadn't gotten the official stamp from the village branch.

Serves you right!

She thinks everyone should revolve around her!

After dinner, Lin Xiaoru came up with a solution, which was a secret she had discovered before, and she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

Since Wang Lei and Wu Jin got married, Ye Xiaofan and Zhang Qingshan have been unable to get married because their families disagree with their decision.

Zhang Qingshan and Ye Xiaofan often went on dates, and what they did is obvious to anyone.

To avoid crowds, they often go to some remote places.

This is an opportunity!

Lin Xiaoru wrote a small note and asked Ye Xiaofan to meet her in a small cave on the back mountain to the west.

When Lin Xiaoru went up the mountain to gather wild game, she saw Ye Xiaofan and Zhang Qingshan on a date there.

They found a time when Zhang Qingshan was out chopping firewood and not at the educated youth settlement, and took advantage of Ye Xiaofan's trip to the outhouse to slip the needle through the crack in the door.

When Ye Xiaofan returned, he found a small note.

Upon seeing the small cave on the west side of the mountain behind the house, Ye Xiaofan blushed and looked embarrassed. In her excitement, she quickly put away the note without carefully checking whether it was Zhang Qingshan's handwriting.

If she were calmer and more composed, she would definitely notice the difference between the handwriting and Zhang Qingshan's handwriting.

The thrill and tension of sneaking around and trying to avoid attention threw Ye Xiaofan into a state of confusion.

Ye Xiaofan packed up his basket, preparing to go up the mountain to pick some dried goods or dates.

Seeing Ye Xiaofan leave the educated youth settlement, Lin Xiaoru revealed a sly smile, and then went directly to the village branch.

Seeing that only Qi Shuqiang was inside, Lin Xiaoru whispered, "Okay, hurry up and go to the cave on the west side of the back mountain. Ye Xiaofan is waiting for you there!"

"It's done? How did you do that?" Qi Shuqiang couldn't believe it. This woman was too fast. She had only mentioned that matter in the morning, and she had already accomplished it in the afternoon.

"Hehe, easy peasy. As for how you did it, don't ask," Lin Xiaoru said. "Hurry up and go, or Ye Xiaofan will be back."

Qi Shuqiang smiled, squinting his eyes, and said, "Great! It's settled. I'll help you with whatever you want to do in the future. We're in this together now, so you can't cheat me."

"How could that be!" Lin Xiaoru retorted. "We're natural allies. I can tell you're at odds with Accountant Qi and the others, and with Qi Dazhu. I also hate Qi Dazhu, He Tiantian, and Zhao Dajiao. We're going to deal with them together, so why would I betray you? Besides, if I betrayed you, and you exposed me, what good would that do me?"

Lin Xiaoru spoke logically and persuasively.

Although this natural alliance is not very stable, just as Lin Xiaoru said, neither of them dares to betray the other.

"You're a smart woman," Qi Shuqiang smiled. "Come on, I'll go take a look."

The two left the village branch office and locked the door.

Lin Xiaoru returned to the educated youth settlement, and Qi Shuqiang went to the small cave on the west side of the back mountain!

After Lin Xiaoru left the educated youth settlement, Huang Jingli felt something was strange and secretly followed behind Lin Xiaoru. When she saw Lin Xiaoru enter the village branch office, she leaned over the wall of the village branch office to eavesdrop.

Huang Jingli only clearly heard a few simple words: "It's done," "the small cave on the west side of the back mountain," "a grasshopper on the same rope," and "don't cheat me."

Although she didn't hear the specifics clearly, Huang Jingli judged that Lin Xiaoru and Qi Shuqiang were full of bad intentions and were probably up to something wicked!

After Lin Xiaoru and Qi Shuqiang left, Huang Jingli hurried to find He Tiantian.

Huang Jingli knew He Tiantian's capabilities and that she could make Lin Xiaoru suffer, so she was willing to tip her off.

If she can't deal with Lin Xiaoru herself, then she'll let someone else deal with her!

Furthermore, Lin Xiaoru and He Tiantian already have a grudge, so if she hears that Lin Xiaoru is up to no good, she definitely won't pretend not to know.

Meanwhile, when Huang Jingli ran to Grandma Qi's house, He Tiantian was chopping cabbage!

Huang Jingli ran over, panting, and said, "He Tiantian, I have something to tell you."

He Tiantian was taken aback. If Huang Jingli hadn't come looking for her, fine. But the fact that she did prove that Lin Xiaoru was up to her old tricks again.

"What is it? Let's go inside and talk," He Tiantian said, putting down the kitchen knife in her hand.

Huang Jingli waved her hand and said, "I'm not going inside. Just one sentence, and I'll leave right away. Lin Xiaoru acted strangely today. She went to the village committee and said things like 'getting things done,' 'allies,' and 'being in the same boat' to Qi Shuqiang, and also mentioned 'the small cave west of the back mountain.' I didn't quite catch what she said, but I know it's definitely not good news. After that, Lin Xiaoru went back, and Qi Shuqiang went to the west side of the village, probably to the small cave west of the back mountain. Okay, Lin Xiaoru is probably back now. I need to hurry back, or she'll become suspicious."

After Huang Jingli finished speaking, she turned to leave.

He Tiantian had something on her mind, but seeing Huang Jingli in such a hurry, she didn't dare to ask any further.

After running a few steps, Huang Jingli turned around and said, "He Tiantian, you have to keep this a secret. Don't tell anyone I told you."

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret," He Tiantian replied, reassuring Huang Jingli.

"Thank you," Huang Jingli said, and then ran away.

Watching Huang Jingli's retreating figure, He Tiantian smiled and shook her head.

Huang Jingli is also a pitiful person, but she has a bottom line in her actions.

Although Huang Jingli tipped her off last time in order to get revenge on Lin Xiaoru, she did help her after all.

The matter that could cause Huang Jingli such panic must be no small thing.

He Tiantian's hate ledger still clearly records Lin Xiaoru's accusations of her improper conduct.

Now that she has the opportunity, He Tiantian won't let it slip by.

Anything that Lin Xiaoru tries her best to promote, He Tiantian will resolutely sabotage to the end!

He Tian quickly chopped the cabbage, then carried the bamboo basket on her back and headed towards the back of the mountain.

Wang Shuping asked curiously, "Tian Tian, ​​why are you carrying bamboo shoots?"

"I remembered seeing a jujube tree yesterday with lots of jujubes. I need to hurry and pick them, or someone else will have already picked them all," He Tiantian said as she ran.

Soon, the figure disappeared from sight. (To be continued.)
