Jiang Yang was holding a bundle of sugarcane in his hand, which still had a hint of fresh earthy scent and refreshing sweetness.

This was specially given to him by Sister Li from the cafeteria. It was said to be a welfare benefit from the factory.

However, only regular workers can enjoy this kind of good thing, and temporary workers like them can only watch helplessly.

Sister Li smiled and said that her teeth were not very good and she could not eat so much sugarcane, so she gave him one and told him to take it back for his wife to try.

Jiang Yang felt a little embarrassed at first and kept declining, but in the end he couldn't refuse the kindness and had to accept it.

Remember the other person's kindness in your heart, and repay them when you have the chance in the future.

Seeing this, my uncle smiled and gave him one as well.

In order to make it easier to carry the sugarcane home, his uncle helped him cut the sugarcane into pieces. The two pieces of sugarcane were quite heavy, so they were tied into a bundle without him noticing.

The long-distance bus sped past, and soon the village entrance was in sight.

When they arrived near the platform, the wheels slowly moved down and stopped. Without the conductor shouting, Jiang Yang quickly picked up his things and jumped off the car with swift movements.

At the same time, Jiang Wangjing from the captain's family also got off the car.

For some reason, ever since Jiang Yang married his current wife, Jiang Wangjing's attitude towards him has changed 180 degrees.

There had been a time when the two of them were quite close, but now that warmth was long gone, replaced by an obvious sense of distance.

Jiang Yang didn't regret Jiang Wangjing's change at all.

As the saying goes, "He who strikes first is the strongest, and he who strikes last will suffer the consequences"!

Who made the other party's mother so unhelpful that she had to haggle and bargain with the matchmaker over the gift money? How could she give him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and get there first?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yang couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

He is lucky to marry his wife!

Jiang Wangjing tightly gripped the bag strap in his hand, staring intently at Jiang Yang's receding figure, with traces of jealousy flickering in the depths of his eyes from time to time.

He thought to himself:

"If, if Jiang Yang hadn't taken out fifty yuan as a gift first, then the one who would have married Su Miantang would have been me!"

However, there is no such thing as "if" in this world. Now, he is filled with regret and anger.

He hated his weak, incompetent and penniless self immensely.

If he had been stronger and had more money at that time, his mother would not have bargained over a mere gift money, which ultimately caused him to miss out on this wonderful marriage!

Whenever he thought of this, Jiang Wangjing's gaze would involuntarily fall into his backpack, where a crucial work certificate lay quietly.

This certificate will be a ray of light in his dark life, illuminating his future path.

As long as he has it, from now on, he will be able to become a glorious trainee police officer in the Public Security Bureau, and thus have a stable and well-paid job!

Thinking of this, Jiang Wangjing couldn't help but snorted coldly, and secretly swore in his heart:

"Jiang Yang, don't be too proud too soon!

Don’t think you’re so great just because you have an uncle who is a manager in the food factory in town. After all, you are just a temporary worker!

And I am about to become a legitimate trainee police officer!

One day, I will let everyone see that I, Jiang Wangjing, am definitely much better than you!"

At the same time, a group of villagers gathered by the lotus pond in Hanshan Village to watch the fun.

On the riverbank——

A frail figure lay prostrate on the grass, crying loudly:

"Woo woo woo~"

"I won't live anymore!"

"You all bully me!"

"Why is my life so miserable~"

On the shore, a little boy with a runny nose was eating popcorn in his pocket and asked his grandmother:

"Grandma, why does this elder sister say she doesn't want to live anymore? She can eat delicious food if she lives. Doesn't the elder sister have a grandma?"

"Da Mao, you have to learn how to swim so that you won't be afraid of water. Even if you accidentally fall into the pond, you won't drown.

As for why this Liu Zhiqing doesn't want to live anymore, whether or not Grandma is there, Grandma doesn't know, but Grandma tells you, a good death is worse than a bad life, we must live well, understand?"

Standing nearby was an elderly woman with gray hair. She was explaining something to her lovely grandson in a soft and kind voice.

At the same time, her eyes narrowed slightly and she shook her head gently, a movement so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

She was still muttering, "Among the female educated youth from the city, this new educated youth Liu is the most pretentious, and she has so many problems!

Anyone who gets involved with a troublemaker like this will be in big trouble!"

Da Mao blinked his big eyes, nodded as if he understood, and replied:

"Yes, okay grandma, I will definitely learn to swim well from daddy."

Although he didn't fully understand what his grandmother said, he knew in his heart that his parents had told him that as long as he listened to his grandmother, he would definitely not go wrong.

"What a good and obedient child!

Let’s go home, grandma is going to steam some delicious eggs for my dear grandson!”

As the old man spoke, he arched his already slightly bent back, and his face, which was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, was filled with kindness.

In this way, the grandfather and grandson walked home hand in hand, talking and laughing.

The originally tense atmosphere was suddenly broken by this heartwarming conversation between grandparents and grandchildren.

After hearing what the old man said, the villagers looked at each other, and then everyone seemed to suddenly react and started to talk in low voices:

"That's right, this Liu Zhiqing is really a bit too contrived!"

"Why is this Liu Zhiqing seeking death again this time?"

"I heard that these were the female educated youth from the educated youth camp who were returning from their work. This educated youth Liu was relying on..."

"Ah? Liu Zhiqing hasn't done any work in this period. What kind of family background does she have that she can go so long without working?"

"Who knows? Anyway, he's lazy and not hardworking at all."

"That makes sense. If my daughter did that, I'd chase her and beat her with a club."

"Come on, I'm a delicate girl, how can I withstand a beating from you?"

"That's true. Hey, why don't we go our separate ways? I think this Liu Zhiqing just keeps repeating the same few lines."

"Let's disperse. The captain is here. Let him persuade them."

"That makes sense."

"Let's go~"

"Dispersed~"

"Go home and collect the clothes."

"I have to go home and cook dinner."

"What are you having for dinner?"

"My dinner..."

Liu Yiyi was completely bewildered. She lay prostrate on the grass. She had just finished setting up the stage, but now the audience was gone. Now the main character was coming, what was she supposed to do?
