Chapter 11 A Village Girl in the 1970s

The next day, Yao Sheng and Yao Hai set off with Yao Yunzhen and Yao Kemei.

Yao Sheng was also carrying a bag of grain, which was Yao Yunzhen's rations.

As for Yao Kemei's, she had to carry it herself; Yao Hai wouldn't help her.

Yao Jigen was originally going to come along, but he was too mischievous and difficult to discipline. Tan Guihua was afraid of adding burden to her daughter, so she stopped him from coming.

Therefore, Yao Hai disliked Yao Kemei in every way, let alone taking care of her.

Yao Kemei didn't care; she was just feeling very agitated.

She waited outside for most of the night, but Li Yunqi didn't come out of the educated youth settlement.

She made it so clear in her letter, and that bastard Li Yunqi is interested in Yao Yunzhen, so why doesn't he come?

Yes, Miao Cuilan's guess was correct; she did write that letter.

She originally planned to lure Yao Yunzhen out after Li Yunqi was released.

With Yao Yunzhen's stunningly beautiful appearance, no man could resist her charm.

Once the two have consummated their relationship, Yao Yunzhen will have no choice but to marry Li Yunqi.

As for the original marriage contract she was bound to, it naturally fell on her shoulders.

In her past life, this marriage contract brought Yao Yunzhen a good life; in this life, it's her turn.

Yao Kemei had a wonderful idea in mind, but to her surprise, Li Yunqi didn't show up!

All her painstaking planning was for nothing.

She didn't know that Li Yunqi had been beaten so badly he couldn't get up; she just thought that this man was indeed a good-for-nothing.

After being beaten, Li Yunqi remained in bed. When the other educated youths asked him, he wouldn't say anything. Seeing this, the others didn't care and didn't say anything more, so the news of his beating didn't spread.

Anyuan County is more than 30 kilometers away from Baiyang Brigade, so the group had to go to the town first to take a bus to the county.

Fortunately, the group set off early, and Baiyang Brigade was not far from the town, so they arrived in the county at just after eight o'clock.

After delivering Yao Yunzhen and Yao Liuzhi's home, the two Yao brothers gave a few brief instructions and then hurriedly left with their brother-in-law, Yu Chunlai.

Jobs are in high demand these days. Even temporary jobs like theirs, which can only be held for a few months each year, are highly sought after. They can't afford to be late.

Yu Chunlai, like Yao Sheng and the others, also worked at the brick and tile factory and was a minor leader, which is why he was able to get two temporary jobs for the Yao family.

Because of insufficient connections, this temporary job can only be done for a few months each year.

Yao Liuzhi also has a formal job. She works at a biscuit factory, which is closer to the Yu family's house, so Yao Liuzhi doesn't have to rush and can leave a little later.

Yao Liuzhi was overjoyed to see Yao Yunzhen and quickly greeted her, "Zhenzhen and little sister are here! Come in quickly, Auntie will make you some malted milk powder."

Yao Yunzhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Yao Kemei pursed her lips.

Sycophant.

"Oh, you're welcome."

Yao Liuzhi made herself a cup of malted milk powder.

Have you eaten?

"I've already eaten, Auntie."

"Then you guys have some snacks."

Yao Liuzhi then took out some biscuits and candies and placed them on the table, inviting the two of them to eat.

"Auntie, don't bother. I've been here so many times already, and you're still being so polite."

Yao Yunzhen didn't stand on ceremony and picked up a biscuit to eat.

Yao Liuzhi chuckled and said, "How many times? Not even once a month. I often ask your dad to bring you over to play, but he always makes excuses."

In the end, she even complained a little.

Heaven knows how much she misses this sweet, soft, and beautiful niece, but unfortunately her older brother is very protective of her and rarely takes her out.

Yao Yunzhen spoke up for Yao Hai: "My dad was just worried about troubling you too much."

"What's the trouble? I'd love to welcome you."

Yao Liuzhi checked the time, then rummaged in her pocket and gave each person 50 cents and another grain coupon.

"If you're bored, you can go for a walk around the neighborhood. If you get hungry, you can go to the state-run restaurant to buy something to eat. It's a pity that Xiaofeng and Xiaowen are at school, otherwise I would have asked them to come and play with you."

Yu Feng and Yu Wen are Yao Liuzhi's two sons, one is 15 and in high school, and the other is 13 and in junior high school.

"Alright, it's almost time, so I'll head to work now. Remember to take your keys if you two are going out, and be careful."

"Okay, Auntie, take care."

Yao Liuzhi left in a flurry.

Yao Kemei watched all of this coldly, and as soon as Yao Liuzhi left, she immediately turned around and went out the door.

She wants to change her name first, then go to the black market to see what she can do to make money.

She hadn't been to the county much in this life, but she had been there many times in her previous life. She had even been to the black market many times to buy meat for Li Yunqi. So Yao Kemei was not afraid at all in this life, and was even quite confident.

Yao Yunzhen didn't care where Yao Kemei went; she was happily eating snacks right now.

She can't come to the county often. The snacks she bought last time she came to the county have long been gone, and lately she's been drinking porridge every day, so her mouth is getting so bland.

I not only want to eat snacks, but I also want to eat meat.

Thinking of meat, Yao Yunzhen felt that the biscuits in her hand no longer tasted good.

She touched her purse, and without much hesitation, got up and walked out.

Miao Cuilan and Yao Sheng did not keep the money that Li Yunqi compensated her; instead, they told her to keep it herself.

In their view, their daughter was indeed frightened this time, and this money was a consolation to make her feel better and less afraid.

So now Yao Yunzhen is a little rich woman.

Yao Yunzhen, who had never been so rich before, decided to treat herself to a meal at a state-run restaurant to improve her life.

She wasn't worried about not being able to eat. Although they had eaten breakfast, it was just porridge, and they had digested most of it on the way to the county town.

Yao Yunzhen, familiar with the place, arrived at the state-run restaurant and ordered a braised pork and a bowl of rice.

She wanted to order more, but unfortunately, she used up all her meat coupons after just one bowl of braised pork.

Her father had secretly slipped this ticket to her that morning.

The service at the state-run restaurant wasn't great, but the service was quite fast, and Yao Yunzhen quickly received her meal.

Holding her bowl, she walked to a corner without much hesitation and sat down with her back to everyone.

Fortunately, it was already working hours, and there weren't many people eating at the state-run restaurant, so Yao Yunzhen was able to sit at a table by herself.

The other guests could only see her back or profile.

But a beautiful woman is beautiful from any angle.

The person sitting next to Yao Yunzhen looked up unintentionally and was immediately stunned.

Her profile is smooth and beautiful, with a delicate nose and tender lips...

She exudes a fatal attraction.

In the somewhat noisy restaurant, she seemed to be a sight to behold.

"Hey, why aren't you eating? What are you looking at..."

Beside Yao Yunzhen, the people at the same table noticed their companion staring blankly in a certain direction, wondering what she was looking at. Curious, they looked over as well and were instantly stunned.

Yao Yunzhen felt a pang of panic and unconsciously sped up her eating.

In the past, her family members always accompanied her to meals, and they would sit on either side of her to shield her from view. This was the first time she had come to eat alone.

Even though she was sitting with her back to everyone, some people still noticed her.
