The captain decided on Song Pandi's marriage, saying that the two should get married as soon as possible.

Grandma Ma was overjoyed. She had given Yun Ningyan and two Song Pandi as compensation. Not bad! Her son was finally going to get married.

The brigade leader waved his hand and said, "You two will get married tomorrow. Don't ruin the brigade's reputation. Old Ma's family, get ready to bring your bride home."

"Okay, okay."

Aunt Ma saw everyone off with a smile. She needed to get herself ready for her son's wedding tomorrow.

Song Pandi, supporting her back, followed the group toward the educated youth settlement. She stared at Yun Ningyan's back with a sinister look. Yun Ningyan and Lin Mengmeng were chatting and laughing. Yun Ningyan felt the gaze behind her, turned around, and gave Song Pandi a provocative smile.

Song Pandi wished he could eat her bones and drink her blood!

She will definitely avenge this! Yun Ningyan caused her to lose her innocence, and she will repay Yun Ningyan in the same way!

Huo Junshan walked among a group of men, patted Zhang Qiang on the shoulder, and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for speaking up for her."

Liu Zhijun sneered, "I also spoke up for her, why don't you thank me?"

Huo Junshan raised his fist and swung it at Liu Zhijun's face. Liu Zhijun shuddered in fright. "Forget it, it's just a small matter. I would have helped her even if you hadn't asked. We're friends!"

Huo Junshan......

If it weren't for seeing him speaking up for Yan Yan, he really would have wanted to beat him up!

Yun Ningyan returned to the educated youth settlement. She hadn't eaten dinner yet, and her stomach was growling with hunger. She took a shower in her space first, intending to eat something there, but then she heard footsteps outside.

Huo Junshan brought in a bowl of noodles. "Come and eat some noodles."

Yun Ningyan sniffed, the aroma of sesame oil filling the entire room. "Did Auntie make this?"

Huo Junshan nodded. "My mother said you must not have eaten anything, so she went back early and cooked a bowl of noodles for you."

It looked very appetizing, with a few green vegetables and scallions floating on top. She ate a whole bowl of noodles in one go, even drinking the soup clean.

She put down her chopsticks and asked Huo Junshan, "Tell me, what were you doing up in that tree today?"

“It was Song Pandi who came to me and said that you went up the mountain alone and she was worried that you might be in danger, so she asked me to go find you. That’s when I realized something was wrong. Plus, she’s been getting very close to Ma Lao Er’s family lately, so I went to check on her. I didn’t expect her to be so vicious!”

His eyes were cold as he spoke, and his sharp phoenix eyes were filled with hatred for Song Pandi.

"It's alright. She's already reaped what she sowed. She's getting married to Ma Lao Er tomorrow, so she shouldn't dare to cause trouble again."

Huo Junshan's expression was still not very good. He looked at Yun Ningyan and seemed a little angry. "Why didn't you call me yesterday? If something happened, you should have told me first, and I would have worked with you to figure it out."

"I can handle things myself, and I don't want you to worry about them."

She knew Huo Junshan was a little angry that she had gone to Ma Lao Er's house alone yesterday without telling him in time. She was confident that she dared to go alone.

But Huo Junshan didn't know that.

She kissed Huo Junshan's lips, cupped his face, and coaxed him, "Okay, I'll tell you if anything happens in the future, don't be angry."

Huo Junshan grinned.

Yun Ningyan shook her head inwardly; she really was easy to coax.

Huo Junshan's face stiffened for a moment. Was he really that easy to coax?

Yun Ningyan added, "I want to go to the commune tomorrow to buy some things and go for a stroll."

Huo Junshan thought for a moment and said, "What do you want to buy? I'll go with you."

Yun Ningyan shook her head. "I'll take an oxcart there tomorrow, buy some things, and come right back."

How could she tell Huo Junshan that she was going to buy menstrual pads? If she made him buy them, wouldn't he be embarrassed to death? Although she could use sanitary napkins herself, she still needed to have some on hand.

Huo Junshan's face almost turned red. He automatically gave up listening to what was to come. He almost couldn't help but blush after hearing just the first two sentences. Afraid that Yun Ningyan would discover his little secret, he simply picked up his bowl and turned to leave.

Yun Ningyan shook her head. Actually, she wanted to explore the black market at the commune tomorrow, but she didn't dare tell Huo Junshan. If Huo Junshan knew she was going to the black market, he definitely wouldn't let her go.

I read about black markets in novels in my past life, but I didn't know what they were like. I'm guarding this big warehouse, so I can sell some of it on the black market and use it as start-up capital.

Fortunately, Huo Junshan didn't hear any of this; he had already walked far away.

the next day.

Yun Ningyan got up early, waiting to see Song Pandi make a fool of himself.

Ma Lao Er's family wasn't prepared, and Ma Da Niang didn't have much money.

Ma Lao Er pushed a cart over to pick up Song Pandi. Ma Da Niang smiled and took out 10 yuan to give to her, saying, "Pandi, this is all we have at home. I'm giving it all to you."

Song Pandi really wanted to tear that 10 yuan into pieces and throw it in Aunt Ma's face.

But seeing everyone gathered in the courtyard of the educated youth settlement, she hesitated for a moment before finally accepting the gift.

She combed her own hair today. Usually, mothers comb their daughters' hair when they get married, but she was not only forced into marriage, but also into this kind of family. If her mother were here, she would never let herself get married so hastily.

A tear slid down her cheek. She squeezed her eyes shut, then opened them again, her mind clear. She wanted revenge, she wanted Yun Ningyan dead!

No bride was as poor as her; she didn't even have a new dress, and her dowry was only 10 yuan.

She strode out of the house and met Yun Ningyan's gaze, who was standing at the door. Yun Ningyan's lips curled into a half-smile, a smile that contained mockery, contempt, and a haughty disdain, as if Yun Ningyan had never taken her seriously.

She walked past Yun Ningyan, her eyes filled with hatred, and whispered, "Yun Ningyan, this isn't over yet. I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Yun Ningyan glanced at her disdainfully. "Is that so? Feel free to cause trouble. I'm always ready."

Song Pandi was taken away by Ma Lao Er's cart, and her small bag of luggage was also taken to Ma Lao Er's house.

While everyone else went to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, Yun Ningyan quietly took her basket and left the brigade.

Just then, they caught up with an oxcart, and Huo Junshan was talking to an old man by the cart.

When the old man saw her arrive, he smiled and asked her, "Did Yun, the educated youth, go to see the excitement? Little Huo came early this morning and told me to wait for you."

Yun Ningyan nodded shyly, handed the old man two cents, which he accepted without hesitation, then flicked his whip and said, "Let's go."

Yun Ningyan looked back and saw that Huo Junshan had already walked into the village. He seemed to sense her gaze and turned around. Their eyes met in the air, and then they were intertwined, sticky and sweet, creating many sweet threads.

The aunties and grandmas who loved watching the excitement laughed at her, saying, "Yun, the educated youth, everyone's gone, stop watching."

Aunt Guihua went to the commune to buy things today. She pulled Yun Ningyan to her side and said, "Girl, come sit here with me. Don't listen to those old hags' nonsense. They're just sour grapes."
