"I won't be coy with you. I've noticed you've been paying attention to Song Zhiqing lately, so I know you're having some issues, but I'm fine now."

The borrowed food is all gone, and I can't work anymore. I can't survive another day here.

Li Zeyan listened to him the whole time without interrupting him.

"We each get what we need. You get me the quota to return to the city, and I'll help you get her. How about that? This is a good deal."

You can consider it, but time is running out. I can't wait any longer. If you don't give me a result, I'll have to think of another way. I can't go on like this if I can't get her."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled, and Bai Haoyu saw the food on the table. Without any hesitation, he grabbed a piece and started eating.

Li Zeyan watched quietly, waiting for this guy to give him a surprise.

After they had eaten enough, Li Zeyan recounted his observations one by one.

“Song Yining usually likes to go to the mountains, and she spends most of her days off there. We can start from there. Think about it, no matter how skilled she is in martial arts, if you drug her, she can still resist the effects of the drug. She will still obediently listen to you and let you do whatever you want.”

He picked up the water cup and started drinking, completely ignoring whose it was.

"I just want to get this done as soon as possible. The autumn harvest is coming soon and I can't harvest anything at all. If I don't think about it quickly, time will wait for no one."

After hearing Bai Haoyu's words, Li Zeyan was extremely anxious. Was this Bai Haoyu reliable?

This is another new problem. The rain keeps falling and shows no sign of stopping. It was still drizzling the next morning.

Tonight was destined to be another day without work, so Song Yining lit a fire in the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water to avoid attracting attention.

Actually, she cooks in the space using modern kitchen equipment, so there's no oil smoke at all.

It's very convenient to do whatever you want. Once the basics are set up, Song Yining will be waiting right there.

The oven inside is very big. Song Yining baked a lot of jerky and other meat products at once, which were basically ready to eat. Chengdu made some of them on the spot.

This way, we can send it to Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhiming when we have the chance, ensuring their nutrition.

It's been raining non-stop all day, and Song Yining has been busy on her social media.

But what's worse for her is that two people are after her.

Ever since he learned that Li Zeyan was against him, Xiao Hui had been keeping an eye on what was happening over there.

Xiao Bai was keeping an eye on Bai Haoyu's side, since he was in the educated youth compound and should behave himself.

Their intention to target Song Yining has already been discovered.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Hui kept an eye on their every move in his room, and Song Yining just had to wait for their reports.

Inside the space, Song Yining had already found several medicinal prescriptions in her family's ancient books and was studying them.

Bai Haoyu is still indulging in wishful thinking, trying to use himself to return to the city. He's really living in a pipe dream.

I haven't tested the recently developed medicine yet, and I was thinking about what I could use as a medicine boy when someone offered it to me.

Then she'll have free trial users to see how effective the drug is.

A few days later, Bai Haoyu saw a transfer order from Li Zeyan and was overjoyed, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the workstation list in the factory again made me feel much more at ease.

Li Zeyan gave Bai Haoyu money and secretly bought a potent aphrodisiac from the black market in town.

With the remaining money, I bought myself a new set of clothes and some food.

Feeling great, I took the things I bought back to the educated youth compound.

The people in the educated youth compound were all delighted to see Bai Haoyu, and they all looked at each other.

Bai Haoyu must have stepped in dog poop; he's got money now, and he's being incredibly extravagant today.

Seeing everyone staring at what he had brought, Bai Haoyu, feeling very vain, quickly grabbed a bag of peach shortbread and gave it to Yu Cheng.

"Yu, this is food I brought for everyone. Thank you all for taking care of me these past few days."

The female educated youths felt it was unreal when they saw Bai, who was so generous today.

Where did this educated youth Bai Haoyu make his fortune? After finishing his meal, Bai Haoyu took the opportunity to go out and went to the brigade leader's house to pay back the grain money he owed.

When Yang Chunlin saw that Bai Haoyu was still wearing a new shirt today, he thought to himself, "This educated youth Bai is rich now."

"To put it bluntly, Bai Zhiqing, even if you have money, you still need to plan how to use it. Winters here are very cold, so you need to make plans early."

Don't say we told you; this is common sense. Winter is long, don't forget that.

"Captain, thank you, I understand. I'll be going now."

Zhang Datao also overheard their conversation and saw Bai Haoyu walking away.

"This kid is still driven by vanity. He's already working in the countryside, but he still can't see reality. He dresses all day long, like he's some kind of commune cadre."

"Hey! Everyone has their own way of living. We just need to take care of ourselves."

"Exactly, worrying about things that don't concern you."

"If they don't appreciate it, then so be it."

"It's like that saying: you can't wake someone who's asleep."

After leaving the brigade leader's house, Bai Haoyu headed towards Li Zeyan.

When Li Zeyan heard the sound of his courtyard gate, he knew it was Bai Haoyu.

The doorman let him in and saw that Bai Haoyu was beaming, so he knew that the guy had already bought everything.

"Have you bought it yet?"

"Alright. We'll try it tomorrow."

After discussing it, the two quickly returned to the male educated youth's room.

I'm in a great mood today, and everyone I see feels pleasant.

At night, I dream of how extravagant I was during the day by buying things, and I feel so happy in my dreams.

Everyone was already asleep when Bai Haoyu's laughter in his dream woke them up.

Seeing Bai Haoyu sleeping peacefully, the others helplessly lay down to sleep as well, while the culprit was still having sweet dreams.

Completely unaware that his earlier joy had startled everyone awake.

Song Yining already knew about Bai Haoyu's actions today, so she would wait and see as they arrived.

The autumn harvest is just around the corner, so everyone is rushing to collect some mountain produce before the harvest. The villagers are all up in the mountains.

Song Yining continued walking deeper into the mountains, while Bai Haoyu avoided the crowd and secretly followed behind her.

Li Zeyan and Bai Haoyu came up one after the other. Today, everyone is resting and has come up the mountain to collect firewood.

The educated youth went up the mountain separately today. The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, and the mountain is filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.

There are many people on the mountain today, and everyone is filling their baskets with mountain produce.

Hickory nuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts, wild kiwifruit, and various other mountain products.

Song Yining kept busy putting whatever she saw into her basket along the way.

Bai Haoyu followed behind, waiting for the right opportunity. Today, they would find a way to make Song Yining cry and beg him.

To vent his anger, seeing Song Yining was like seeing a harbinger of misfortune.
