In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...
"What are you doing?"
Ye Jin's body suddenly flew into the air. She was startled and began to struggle violently after she came to her senses.
She pinched Gu Yan's arm hard, but she had just cut her nails last night, so her fingertips were not sharp at all. Plus, Gu Yan's skin was so thick that she couldn't pinch him at all.
She was so angry that she waved her fists and hit his back. Gu Yan endured the pain and put her down in the main room to sit, and took a hot water bottle from the stunned grandmother.
"This girl is disobedient and has been outside in the cold wind. I tried to talk to her nicely but she wouldn't listen, so I had to bring her in."
Gu Yan was afraid that his grandmother would have a bad impression of him, so he quickly started to explain.
Grandma's mouth, which was wide enough to fit an egg, finally closed.
"She's disobedient, but she's a girl after all, so you should be a little gentle with her."
"I will, grandma. I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault. I will be more careful in the future!"
Gu Yan asked Ye Jin to sit down and stuffed the hot water bottle into her arms before going out to work.
"Grandma, this guy bullied me, and you didn't do anything about him!"
Ye Jin's face turned red with embarrassment. Looking at her granddaughter's shy look, her grandmother felt both happy and worried.
"Gu Yan is a good guy. You should get along well with him, but you should also be careful and don't let yourself suffer any loss."
"Grandma, it's because of your acquiescence that some people have become more and more arrogant. You are my grandma, you have to stand by me and not turn your elbows outward!"
As Ye Jin was speaking, she glanced outside and happened to see Gu Yan looking over. Their eyes met and Ye Jin quickly turned her head away.
"Yes, yes, grandma will side with you next time. But Gu Yan is a really good guy. You have to keep a close eye on him. If a girl in the village sees him like this, she will be very surprised."
Grandma agreed on the surface and praised him, but Ye Jin simply went back to his room with the hot water bottle.
Ye Jin took a nap, and when she woke up, Gu Yan had already tidied up all the branches and leaves. Except for a lot of wood placed in the yard, the yard had returned to its original clean and tidy appearance.
She looked around and didn't see Gu Yan, and she felt uncomfortable.
Could it be that those words I said before hurt him, so he left without saying a word?
But he's a grown man, so he can't be so stingy, right? And he doesn't look like a stingy person.
Ye Jin felt a little aggrieved, but remained calm on the surface.
"Ye Jin, look what good things I brought you?"
Han Wenqing was holding an oil-paper bag in his hand. This was the scallion pancake he had just asked someone to buy from the town. It was from a well-known brand. He had waited in line for a long time before he could buy it, so the taste was naturally great.
Ye Jin is a girl who has never seen the world. If you buy her a scallion pancake, she will definitely be very touched.
When Ye Jin heard the noise, she thought it was Gu Yan coming back. When she looked up, she found it was the annoying Han Wenqing. She just glanced at him and walked straight into the house.
"Ye Jin, Ye Jin, this is the signature scallion pancake from Lin Ji in town. It's made with genuine ingredients and it's freshly baked. I went to great lengths to buy it. You must try it."
Han Wenqing looked around. The terrifying man was not there today, so it was time for him to show his abilities.
Regardless of whether Ye Jin was willing or not, he simply climbed over the fence and strode in.
"Who let you in? Get out right now, or I'll be rude to you!"
Ye Jin was very angry at this man who couldn't understand what others were saying.
She grabbed the machete that was lying in the corner, turned around and chopped it back.
Han Wenqing was just about to put his hand on her shoulder when a strong wind blew over and he took a step back reflexively, cutting off a few strands of hair on his forehead.
"Don't be like this, don't be like this, let's talk it out."
Even in the middle of winter, Han Wenqing's back was soaked with sweat.
"I have nothing to say to you. Either get out of here now, or I'll drag you out of here as a corpse!"
Ye Jin's face was as pale as ice. She stared at Han Wenqing with her almond-shaped eyes, and held the machete tightly in her hands. As long as he dared to get any closer, she wouldn't mind chopping him.
"I'm just giving you a scallion pancake. I really don't mean anything else. Eat it and I'll leave."
Han Wenqing handed over the scallion pancake again without giving up, but Ye Jin suddenly raised his leg and kicked him.
She kicked out quickly and fiercely, accurately hitting Han Wenqing's abdomen.
Han Wenqing was hit hard and took several steps back. He lost his balance and sat down on the ground.
If it were any other time, it would be fine. There was such thick snow on the ground that it wouldn't hurt much even if he fell. But this time, Gu Yan dropped a piece of wood in the snow.
The wood was square at one end and pointed at the other. The square end was facing the ground, and the pointed end was facing upwards. The pointed end just happened to pierce Han Wenqing's butt.
A sharp pain came over him, and Han Wenqing broke out in a cold sweat.
"You fell in such thick snow and you still feel hurt? I told you you were faking it and you still refuse to accept it. Your tricks won't work on me. If you don't have anything to worry about, get out of here!"
Ye Jin once again rudely ordered Han Wenqing to leave. Han Wenqing wanted to leave now, but he was in so much pain that he couldn't.
"I'm injured, and I'm in your house. Can't you give me a hand?"
Han Wenqing looked at Ye Jin pitifully, trying to make her feel a little sympathy for him.
"Don't look at me. I'm not as soft-hearted as you think. On the contrary, I'm crueler than anyone else to those I hate. If you don't want to die, get out of here right now. If I push you too hard, I'll cripple you!"
Han Wenqing struggled several times before turning over and sitting on the other side.
My back still hurts a lot, as if someone had hurt me.
He kept breathing heavily and holding the scallion pancake tightly in his arms.
"Han Wenqing, have you finished pretending? This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other. I know you're not that weak. People like you are like indestructible cockroaches. If I hadn't chopped you off, you wouldn't have died so quickly."
"Besides, who are you showing this to? It's just a minor injury. Even if you were missing an arm or a leg, or even a head, and stood in front of me, I wouldn't even blink!"
"If you accept this, I'll leave, right away, and I won't bother you again."
Until this time, Han Wenqing still remembered the task assigned to him by Zhang Duo.
Ye Jin is a tough nut to crack. Although he is not a capable person, he thinks he has some experience in picking up girls.
Isn't it just that a strong woman is afraid of a clingy man? As long as he can lose face now and tries hard to make his presence felt in front of Ye Jin, it won't be long before a little girl like Ye Jin who has never been in a relationship will definitely fall for his work pants.
What's the big deal about suffering a little loss now? I'll get it back a hundredfold and a thousandfold in the future!
