Chapter 114 Shocking! She has a dual personality!

Zhou Ye looked at her brother's unpleasant expression with a sense of distress and asked with concern, "Brother, what happened to you?"

"I'm your own sister, aren't you going to tell me?"

Zhou Ye touched Zhou Ye's cheek, his eyes filled with unspoken words.

Not wanting his younger sister to worry, he said softly, "Xiao Ye, it's alright, your brother is fine! I've already seen Grandpa!"

I'm relieved to know that Grandpa and you are safe!

Zhou looked at her brother with a puzzled expression: "Brother? Are you busy with something else? You went to the countryside with Grandpa, weren't you always together?"

Why do I always feel like you and Grandpa are very far apart?

Were you assigned to another place?

Zhou Ye wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes, gently touched Zhou Ye's cheek, as if she were looking at some priceless treasure.

"Xiao Ye, my grandfather and I have a complicated relationship. You shouldn't worry about it, okay?"

"Once my brother finds news of Mom and Dad, we'll go find them."

"Okay!"

"Good boy!"

Suddenly, Zhou Ye glanced out the window. Through the gap in the curtains, he could see that the sky was still a dark blue...

He was horrified: "Brother, why are you here now? Have you been spotted? Huh?"

Zhou Ye shook his head and reassured him, "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ye, your brother is very discreet, no one will find me! Don't be afraid!"

Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt incredibly sad again when she thought of what her grandfather had said.

"Brother, Grandpa wants me to get married!"

Zhou Ye felt a pang of sadness and hugged Zhou Ye to comfort him, saying, "Don't be afraid. I've already talked to Grandpa. Although Grandpa is doing this for your own good, I will stop him."

Your happiness is important.

My daughter must marry someone she loves!

"elder brother……"

Zhou choked up, remembering that besides her grandfather, she also had her brother, who had always unconditionally loved and helped her.

"Okay, okay, don't cry! My little one won't cry anymore! Okay?"

Little did the two know that outside the door stood a figure on the verge of collapse—Snow White!

Bai Xue covered her mouth, unable to believe what she was seeing.

She bit her lower lip tightly and pinched herself hard, trying to use the pain to bring herself back to her senses.

I must have seen it wrong!

How could Sister Zhou do that?

But... no matter how hard she tried, the scene before her eyes remained.

She originally wanted to ask Sister Zhou what she wanted to eat for dinner, since she got back quite late today and Sister Zhou must be starving.

However, she witnessed a shocking scene.

Sister Zhou... was talking to herself, as if two people were talking.

This isn't real, this isn't real!

Bai Xue backed away, holding her breath, hoping to get back inside and clear her head.

"Clang!"

Bai Xue was startled. In her panic, she knocked over a basin.

Damn it...

"Squeak..."

Sister Zhou's door opened.

"Sister Zhou..."

Bai Xue forced a smile and looked up at Zhou Ye, who had no expression.

The person before me had an expression as cold as ice in the twelfth lunar month, radiating an aura of chill that was impossible to ignore…

This isn't Sister Zhou!

no!

But she dared not say it!

Taking a breath to bolster her courage, she smiled and asked, "Sister Zhou, I just got back!"

Are you starving?

Would you like something to eat?

There's still meat at home... and tomatoes..."

The more Bai Xue spoke, the more frightened she became, and her voice trembled.

Why are you shaking?

The person in front of me asked.

Bai Xue mustered her courage and smiled, saying, "No... I'm not shaking, Sister Zhou. Can I have some peanut porridge?"

I remember you like peanuts!

"Is...is that alright?"

"Heh... You're even stuttering when you speak, aren't you afraid?"

Bai Xue looked at the person in front of her and suddenly laughed, patting her on the head and saying with a smile, "Did I really scare you? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In a couple of days, I'll give you some fabric and make us a couple of shirts."

That familiar tone, those familiar instructions…

Yes, Sister Zhou is back.

Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief: "Sister Zhou, you really scared me to death! I thought..."

The person in front of him, who had been thinking, changed his expression again.

Bai Xue suddenly realized that this person was playing a trick on her.

Oh my god!

With a wry smile, she said, "I...I really didn't see or hear anything! I'm Sister Zhou's good friend, her dear sister!"

real! "

Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Bai Xue simply gave in.

Sister Zhou wouldn't let herself be silenced, would she?

Sister Zhou, please come back soon.

Snow White prayed helplessly in her heart.

Zhou Ye raised his hand, and Bai Xue was so frightened that she knelt down immediately.

"I was wrong, I didn't mean it, I just care about Sister Zhou, I'm not a bad person! Please don't hit me!"

Waaah...

I was wrong! "

Looking at the little girl kneeling on the ground, she was about the same age as my younger sister!

He crouched down and looked her over carefully: "You're Bai Xue?"

"I...I am!"

"Since you already know, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Zhou Ye said coldly, looking at Bai Xue as if she were a dead person!

"I won't tell anyone, I really won't. I like Sister Zhou a lot too, how could I possibly harm her?"

Bai Xue immediately promised that she would do anything to save her own life!

But the person in front of me seems to be anything but kind.

Bai Xue watched as the person in front of her gripped her throat tightly, slowly tightening, tightening...

"Sister Zhou... Sister Zhou... save... me..."

"Um... Sister Zhou..."

Bai Xue struggled desperately, trying to wake Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye's expression changed drastically: "You deserve to die!"

"Brother, no, don't touch her. She's my friend. Even if she knows you exist, she won't hurt us."

They certainly won't report us!

Brother, let go!

Zhou Ye snorted, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "I only believe the words of the dead!"

"elder brother……"

"Xiao Ye, I can't leave any potential problems behind!"

Zhou Ye didn't let up at all, and Bai Xue was about to faint from being choked.

Zhou panicked and grabbed his brother's arm: "Brother, don't do this! If Bai Xue dies here, how am I supposed to explain it?"

Besides, she's my friend!

She takes good care of me and is very kind to me! Please trust her just this once, okay?

"Xiao Ye, you're too soft-hearted!" Zhou Ye said, exasperated.

Zhou held on tightly, pleading, "Brother...please..."

Zhou Ye angrily let go: "You actually begged me for an outsider? Is my brother a murderer?"

Zhou looked at her brother with guilt: "No, I didn't think that!"

"Why……"

Zhou Ye finally stood up: "Alright, I won't hurt her anymore, don't be sad!"

"Thank you, brother!"

"Alright, she's fine. She just fainted. She'll be fine in a bit!"

"Okay, then brother, you should go back quickly!"

"What an ungrateful little brat!"

Zhou Ye left helplessly!

Bai Xue wakes up from a nightmare to find Zhou Ye by her bedside.

"ah……"

"Bai Xue, how are you?"

Zhou asked worriedly.

"Ah... I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't see anything, I'll never do it again, please don't kill me!"

Waaah... I was wrong!

Bai Xue covered her face and desperately tried to avoid it!

Zhou Ye held Bai Xue tightly: "Bai Xue, it's me, don't be afraid! My brother is gone! Don't be afraid!"

Only then did Bai Xue dare to peek her head out secretly...

"Sister Zhou...?"

Zhou nodded firmly, stroked Bai Xue's hair, and said gently, "It's me, don't be afraid!"

"Wow..."

Bai Xue threw herself into Zhou Ye's arms and burst into tears.

"I was so scared! I thought I was going to die! Sister Zhou, you saved me, right?"

"I'm sorry, my brother didn't mean it. He was just too worried about me!"

Zhou Ye looked at Bai Xue apologetically.

Bai Xue sniffed and shook her head: "It's okay, Sister Zhou, I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all, I was just a little scared!"

Suddenly remembering that I hadn't cooked yet, I jumped up.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ye was startled instead.

Bai Xue touched her nose and chuckled, "Sister, I haven't cooked yet. What do you want to eat first?"

Shall I cook for us?

Zhou Ye smiled helplessly and said, "I'll do it! You can rest today!"

"No!" Bai Xue firmly refused.

"Tap tap..."

"who?"

Bai Xue asked anxiously, "You absolutely mustn't let anyone know about Sister Zhou's matter."

"It's me, Su Da!"

Upon hearing the sound, Su Da immediately became alert, thinking that something had happened.

Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Ye opened the door and explained, "Sorry, it's nothing serious. I was just about to cook and I was making a little noise!"

Su Da nodded and prepared to leave.

"Master Su, will you start teaching me martial arts tomorrow?"

Zhou also said.

Su Da nodded immediately. This was something the teacher had instructed him to do, and he would definitely do it.

"Alright, I'll follow Comrade Zhou's orders!"

While Bai Xue was cooking, she also cooked Su Da's meal. After all, Su Da stayed behind to protect Zhou Ye, so she probably just ate whatever was available.

Bai Xue was soft-hearted and felt sorry for Su Da, since it was just a matter of adding a bowl of water anyway.

After finishing his meal, Zhou wasn't sleepy, but he had things to think about, so he went back to his room first.

Bai Xue sat at the doorway, looking at Zhou Ye's room, her eyes stinging with tears.

What exactly happened to Sister Zhou? Why did she suddenly become like this?

She never imagined that the gentle and kind Sister Zhou would have a dual personality.

He swallowed hard, suppressing the heartache in his heart.

It seems that Sister Zhou simply has an extra personality, and the brother she talks about is actually a figment of her imagination.

Bai Xue's tears streamed down her face, and afraid that others would see, she quickly hid inside the house.

No one knows what happened in the backyard.

At four o'clock the next morning, Su Da and Zhou Ye began training at the foot of the mountain...

In order to avoid suspicion, they could only begin under cover of darkness.

Su Da had taught others before, but he had never seen anyone so intelligent; they were simply a prodigy.

Even if you don't have enough strength, you can memorize the movements after just one repetition of any style of boxing, and master them after three repetitions.

Su Da had to admit that there are people in this world whom you can never surpass no matter how hard you try.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Ye was filled with even more admiration...

Only someone like this is worthy of you, sir.

You have good taste, sir!

Suzhou University students disappeared before 7 o'clock...

Zhou Ye was covered in sweat as he ran through the village, and his appearance, with his head covered in sweat, surprised everyone.

"Zhou Zhiqing, what have you been doing? You're sweating so much!"

"Yes, Zhou Zhiqing, is something chasing you? Why are you running? Have wild animals come down from the mountain?"

"Oh dear, that won't do, Zhou Zhiqing. You go back first, I'll have my husband get a machete!"

Seeing everyone's tense expressions, Zhou stopped and explained with a smile, "No, aunties and sisters-in-law, you're overthinking it!"

I was exercising.

You all know my health isn't good!

"Oh, I see. Haha... City people really know how to have fun."

"Yeah, well... take your time practicing! We'll get to work!"

"Hehe... I'm leaving, I'm leaving..."

After finishing his workout and having breakfast, Zhou went to the county town again to prepare a truckload of corn seeds, wheat seeds, and soybean seeds for Brother Luo.

"These are seeds?" Brother Luo was surprised, because Hongqi Village was not the only village in Qingshan County that was affected by the disaster. Usually, grain seeds are distributed in this month, but this year they are extremely scarce!

Almost all the villages didn't receive any, and everyone said that the coming year would be a disaster!

Even people in the county town might not be able to get enough to eat!

I'm so worried!

Miss Zhou is indeed capable; she managed to get so many seeds.

That's amazing!

"Go find a tractor and take this whole load to Hongqi Village."

"yes!"

Without saying anything more, Brother Luo immediately did as he was told. Zhou watched his retreating figure, lost in thought...

Village chief Xie Youfu pinned all his hopes on Zhou Ye. He thought that even if they could only cultivate one-third of the land, at least people would have something to look forward to!

He never expected that someone would be able to prepare so many seeds, so he was shocked when he saw a tractor enter the village.

When the man said that this was a truckload of seeds, I was completely stunned!

"What did you say? These are all grain seeds?"

Xie Youfu's voice trembled...

"Yes, it was all prepared by Zhou Ye, an educated youth. There were wheat seeds, corn seeds, and soybean seeds."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon receiving the prepared answer, Xie Youfu jumped up on the spot... slapping his thigh with joy!

"Great! Great! Our Red Flag Village is saved! We're saved!"

As he spoke, Xie Youfu's voice trembled as he looked at Zhou Ye and gratefully stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you so much, Zhou Zhiqing, you are our benefactor in Hongqi Village!"

You saved our whole village!

Xie Youfu knew all too well the value of this truckload of seeds!

Zhou shook his head, indicating that it was alright, but the villagers didn't think so.

The whole family depends on this little bit of food to make a living. Without food, they would die. This land is the lifeblood of the people.

Every household has someone with their mouth open, wanting to eat...

Some of the more emotional ones almost knelt down before Zhou Ye. If it weren't for the need to protect Zhou Ye's reputation, they would have kowtowed several times given the current atmosphere.

"Thank you, Zhou Zhiqing! You are our great benefactor!"

"Yes, they not only gave us food, but also helped us find seeds. From now on, when I work in the fields, I will give Zhou Zhiqing one work point every day!"

One sentence unlocked everyone's potential!

"I want one too! I want one too! I'll make a daily allowance too!"

"Yes, me too! Me too..."

Everyone expressed their gratitude, one after another. Bai Xue tugged at Zhou Ye's sleeve and said, "That's great, Sister Zhou. Now you've established yourself in Hongqi Village. If anyone dares to bully you, none of us will let them get away with it!"

Zhou Ye patted Bai Xue's forehead, and Bai Xue stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak!

She was really happy for Sister Zhou. With everyone's love and gratitude, Sister Zhou's life would be even better!

May is the usual season for planting grain in Hongqi Village. The fields have long been prepared and can be planted at any time.

The villagers cherished this opportunity and worked much harder than usual...

The village chief, Xie Youfu, clearly divided the grain in the truck: wheat was planted on the west side, corn on the east side, and soybeans were planted on the relatively barren land!

After the planting was finished, the village chief didn't let everyone rest.

They started by having everyone cultivate new land at the foot of the mountain, neatly planting the vegetable seeds they had left behind, and assigning people to water and guard them.

Now all grains and vegetables are treasures.

Although the problem I was worried about has been resolved, there may be even bigger problems to come.

Xie Youfu was worried.

He divided all the men in the village into twenty groups, and each piece of land in the village was guarded by someone.

Although it's hard work and requires a lot of effort, there's no other way; every grain of rice is too precious!

He can't be careless!

News of the seeds spread like wildfire from Hongqi Village to other villages. The day after the crops were planted, the village chief's house was filled with visitors, all of them village chiefs from neighboring villages.

"Old Xie, we're old friends. Tell me, where did you get your food from?"

I went to the commune to ask, and the commune itself doesn't have any.

Could it be that the Party Secretary lied to me?

"Did they give you all the grain seeds?"

The village chief from the neighboring village asked pleadingly.

Nobody wants to see their villagers starve to death...

After that, the village chiefs from the other villages chimed in, all trying to get Xie Youfu to reveal where he got the seeds from.

Xie Youfu sighed: "We used to have an educated youth from Beijing in our village. You all know that. Isn't this thanks to him?"

but……

They've already left Hongqi Village, there's nothing I can do about it!

The other village chiefs looked at each other in bewilderment: "Old Xie, are you serious?"

"Would I lie to you? You've heard of them before, and maybe you've even seen them. It's a kind gesture for them to help our Hongqi Village."

Do you think I'm some big shot? Do you think I'd ask someone for help again?

This is nothing but food!

When Xie Youfu said this, everyone looked helpless. Yes, where can you find such a kind-hearted person who keeps helping others?

Even if I had the desire, I wouldn't have the ability.

How much money would it cost to buy grain seeds for several villages?

Why……

It can only be said that our village is unlucky and has not encountered anyone with such abilities.

"Sigh... never mind, I'll go to the commune and ask if there's still a chance."

"Yes, I'll go take a look too!"

"Old Xie, if you ever have any more grain seeds in the future, remember to save some for us, okay?"

"Okay...okay..."

Xie Youfu could only agree verbally!

After everyone left, Aunt Guihua said in bewilderment, "Old man, you have no conscience to say that."

Why are you taking credit for Su Yunzhou's work when it was clearly Zhou Zhiqing's?

Do you know how much they sacrificed for these grain seeds? They probably spent a fortune.

If you're so capable, why don't you give it back?

Xie Youfu smiled helplessly: "My silly wife, if I told you that he is now the educated youth in our village, wouldn't they be begging to the girl?"

"At that point, I won't be able to explain myself!"

Aunt Guihua suddenly realized, glared at Xie Youfu, and laughed, "You old fool, you're actually quite clever! Our son did all this for you!"

"hehe……"

Xie Youfu grinned foolishly...

Xie Jianshe happened to walk in at that moment, and suddenly felt that his presence seemed a bit superfluous...

But then, remembering what she had just heard, she asked, "Dad, did the village chiefs from the nearby villages come looking for you?"

"yes!"

"They've left?"

"Yes! But it's not easy to handle. They're all shrewd people. If I hadn't said that Su Yunzhou found the grain seeds, those people probably wouldn't have been able to leave."

It's so annoying!

Xie Jianshe frowned: "Dad, you said it yourself, they're all shrewd people!"

After saying that, he strode away.

Xie Youfu was taken aback: "What do you mean? What does 'son' mean?"

Aunt Guihua slapped her thigh: "Oh dear, this is terrible! You old fool, you're so stupid!"

I'll go check it out!

Xie Youfu looked at the door with a wronged expression and muttered, "Didn't you just say I was smart? Women, they can change their tune as quickly as the weather!"

Don't believe a word they say!

Suddenly, I slapped my forehead and realized a possibility!

His face changed drastically: "Oh my god, I'm such a pig-brain! Didn't they open their mouths? Couldn't they have asked?"

My God!

With that, he took off running!

When Xie Jianshe arrived at the educated youth settlement, he saw several village chiefs sitting in the backyard, in front of Zhou Ye's door.

Their faces were all wearing fawning smiles.

"Young lady, I just heard that you got all the seeds for your Red Flag Village?"

Could you get us some more?

As you know, we suffered from natural disasters, we're really suffering... The people have nothing to eat or drink... We're in a terrible situation..."

A village chief complained!

Another village chief wiped away his tears and said, "Little girl, I can tell that although you are young, you are a sensible person!"

If you have any ideas, please help us.

I'm practically begging you here today, shamelessly!

Zhou Ye's help to Hongqi Village was simply following his grandfather's advice. Even if he had a little more good intentions, they were only directed at the people of Hongqi Village.

Sorry, I don't know anyone from other villages!

A problem that even a commune couldn't solve, I, a girl, solved it. Doesn't that make me the target of everyone's criticism?

This is not a good thing for me.

"I'm sorry, as I just said, we don't even have enough grain seeds in Hongqi Village. That's all I can do!"

If I really had the abilities you all claim, why would I bother dividing the grain seeds I bought for Hongqi Village into three categories?

Why not just buy all the wheat seeds directly?

The village chiefs looked at each other, somewhat at a loss...

But if you can get it once, you'll definitely do it again...

This time, those old guys really lost all shame!

"Little girl, please..."

"Yes, we're begging you! We'll raise whatever it takes!"

"That's right..."

"What are you doing?" Xie Jianshe appeared as if a god had descended, suddenly blocking Zhou Ye's path.

Su Da stood aside, his gaze towards Xie Jianshe now filled with a hint of apprehension.

Zhou Ye's head was buzzing...

Bai Xue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Zhou Ye with trepidation. When she saw the sudden change in Zhou Ye's expression, her heart skipped a beat...

He tentatively asked, "Sister Zhou...?"
