Su Yuhe glanced and found Meng Xin looking at Lu Jianrong with a distressed expression in the crowd, but she didn't dare to stand up.

Her mind raced, and she quickly came up with an idea: "Lu Jianrong gave me a scarf. I said I didn't want it, but he insisted on forcing it on me. He also said it was a gift from someone else and he didn't need it, so he might as well give it to me. I refused it, and he even made advances on me."

Su Yuhe did not point out that this was a gift from Meng Xin, but she also wanted to remind Meng Xin and let her know what kind of person Lu Jianrong was.

It’s best to leave as soon as possible. She can only help up to this point. Otherwise, whatever happens in the future will be what Meng Xin deserves.

However, Meng Xin didn't understand her good intentions. As if offended, he gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but said, "How could he give it to you? Maybe you want it!"

"Why not? He gave me some coal last time! You live in the same room with me, you wouldn't have forgotten, would you?"

Meng Xin choked and dared not speak anymore.

Lu Jianrong not only took other people's things and gave them away, but also forced them to give to him when they didn't want them, and even touched them. None of these actions were good behavior of a good person. The educated youth looked at Lu Jianrong with meaningful eyes.

Lu Jianrong was very concerned about his reputation. He didn't care whether it would offend Su Zeming or not. He just bit back, "She's talking nonsense! She was the one who liked my scarf. I refused to give it to her, but she insisted on getting it herself! Sister Yuhe, I told you, this was a gift from someone else. I'm embarrassed to give it to you."

Su Yuhe laughed in anger, her eyebrows raised, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be spitting fire. "Last time, you even asked someone to deliver coal to me, and the time before that... Every time, you came up to me disgustingly, and I rejected you every time. Do you still want to turn black into white? With your malnourished appearance, I'm dating someone a hundred times better than you! Anyone who likes you is really blind!"

Luo Yan: “…”

Meng Xin: “…”

Su Yuhe said this while no one was reacting, she swung the carrying pole and hit Lu Jianrong on the shin bone. The other man wailed and rolled on his knees.

When other educated youth were about to go up and stop Su Yuhe, she turned around and left, put the carrying pole under the wall, and went back to the house.

Because of what Luo Yan had revealed before, Lu Jianrong's popularity at the educated youth site had declined a lot. For a while, everyone was busy with their own things and was not willing to come forward.

Finally, Song Zhiguo couldn't stand it anymore and helped him up: "Why do you always want to provoke Su Zhiqing?"

Lu Jianrong lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes very gloomy.

He now understood clearly that Su Yuhe had no interest in him anymore. Since he couldn't get her, he would destroy her.

…

"Brother Rong, who gave you that scarf?" Luo Yan could accept Lu Jianrong's hookup with Su Yuhe, because it was all for the development of the Lu family.

But she couldn't accept that someone who had nothing would compete with her for Lu Jianrong!

Lu Jianrong's legs were still hurting. Hearing Luo Yan's questioning tone, he looked impatient: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! Mind your own business!"

Luo Yan knew that Lu Jianrong had no patience with her at all. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, then showed a weak look and threw herself into Lu Jianrong's arms.

Her tone was gentle: "Brother Rong, I'm worried about you. I'm afraid you'll be deceived by a bad woman with bad intentions. If you're unhappy, I won't tell you anymore."

Lu Jianrong's self-esteem, which he had lost with Su Yuhe, was satisfied with Luo Yan. His expression finally softened. He let Luo Yan touch him, his eyes staring fiercely into the void: "Su Yuhe."

Luo Yan leaned on his chest and couldn't help but shiver at the chilly tone.

.

Su Yuhe specifically told Jiang Lin to wear the scarf and sweater she gave him when he went out, for fear that he would keep them for himself.

Jiang Lin put it on as soon as he went out. He changed into an old but clean cotton coat, wrapped a new scarf around his neck, and put on a hat. He felt warm all over before riding his bike out.

When we got to our destination, Jiang Xiaohai ran over, rubbing his hands. "Hey! Brother, why are you wearing a scarf today? Isn't it said that grown men aren't afraid of the cold? Are you giving in to reality?"

"Go to hell, you're just kidding your brother." Jiang Lin cursed with a smile, and rarely said a few more words, "You're still young and don't have a partner, so you don't understand these things."

"Hehe, my mom said that she'll find me a partner in two years, but I want someone as pretty as my sister-in-law!"

Jiang Lin glanced at him and poured cold water on him: "Then you have to be single."

Jiang Xiaohai pouted, looking miserable. Someone inside called out, and he perked up again: "Brother, what business are we going to do today?"

"Go in first."

There were seven or eight people waiting in the small room, and when they saw Jiang Lin, they all called him Boss Jiang.

Jiang Lin waved his hand: "Don't do this. If the boat capsizes one day, everything will be ruined. I recently got this batch of stuff. Do you want to sell it?"

As he spoke, he took out stacks of red bills from his pocket. They were small but neatly bundled.

"Is this a cigarette ticket?"

Jiang Lin nodded. "It's a lot. A stack of 100 sheets. You can divide them up and sell them."

Cigarette tickets are the first thing to be resold in the free market. The red cigarette tickets that Jiang Lin had were for good cigarettes, including Daqianmen and Mudan.

This stuff sells better as the year comes to an end. Many people with a certain status will inevitably buy two packs of cigarettes when they visit relatives and friends during the New Year.

Even if you can't smoke, you will still buy it. At most, you will hang it on your ear and accompany others to inhale secondhand smoke.

Jiang Lin wanted to save a lot of money for the betrothal gift, so he went out more frequently, sometimes going out in the dark at two or three o'clock.

That day, Su Yuhe asked him to help watch the fire. As he watched, Jiang Lin sat there like a pine tree, holding the fire tongs in his hand, but his head nodded.

Su Yuhe felt distressed and woke him up softly: "Why are you so sleepy? Go back to your room and sleep."

Jiang Lin shook his head and rubbed his face vigorously: "No, just eat, wash up, and go to bed early. It's just that I got up too early today and was busy for a long time."

"Don't try so hard. How many times has this happened to you? You'll fall into the fire soon."

"I won't do that again." Jiang Lin rubbed Su Yuhe's hair.

"I know how to give acupuncture now," Su Yuhe said. "Grandpa Shi also praised me for my good acupuncture."

Jiang Lin blinked, eager to try: "Give me two injections."

Su Yuhe twisted his arm and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you think this is a good thing? Why are you sticking needles into your body for no reason?"

Speaking of this, Su Yuhe felt a little guilty.

Fortunately, it is cold now. If it were hot, the blue and purple wounds on Su Yuhe's hands and body would not be hidden.

She practiced acupuncture by herself. At the beginning, she didn't do it accurately and suffered a lot of pain, but she just gritted her teeth and endured it.

.

As usual, Su Yuhe went to work in the fields with Xu Yun and the others. The land allocated to them today had light work, so there were not many men and she did not see Jiang Lin.

She worked for a while and was about to take a break to drink some water when she noticed a woman staring at her.
