The person on the opposite side was just about to go out, and the two sides came face to face, without even time to dodge.

Ye Xiaojiao looked at the familiar figure and suddenly remembered that this was the man who sneaked back when she and Fang Zihuai came to the cowshed before.

It looks like she's going back again.

It’s so late, where do you go every time?

The person opposite him stiffened and immediately took two steps back subconsciously.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and for a moment, no one dared to move.

"You...are Zhuo Yuan?"

Mr. Bai hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

Since they have lived together in the cowshed for a long time, they are naturally familiar with each other.

The other party obviously recognized Mr. Bai. At this point, they had both discovered each other's secrets, so there was nothing left to hide.

Zhuo Yuan often went out to the mountains in the middle of the night to find food. He had no choice but to do so because he was really too hungry.

Here, we eat steamed corn bread every day and do the heaviest physical work, which our bodies simply cannot handle in the long run.

What's more, Zhuo Yuan's parents are also here. They are old and in poor health. Without other supplies, they will not live long.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent and agreed to keep it a secret.

On the way back, Ye Xiaojiao couldn't help but sigh. She wanted to say something, but in the end she swallowed the words back.

She didn't pay attention to these things in her previous life, but to put it bluntly, there were countless people trying desperately to survive.

*

Ye Xiaojiao was not in a hurry to become a disciple.

She often asked Zhuo Yuan to send some things to Mr. Bai. Anyway, the man went out at night, so it was a convenient thing to do.

Of course, we will also give Zhuo Yuan some benefits and ask him to take proper care of Mr. Bai. It will be a win-win situation for both parties.

The days passed, and winter came in the blink of an eye.

The closer it gets to the Chinese New Year, the more lively the village becomes, with people busy cleaning, preparing New Year's goods, etc.

And on such a joyous day, Lu Defu was released, and everyone in the Ye family felt it was bad luck.

I heard that the eldest son of the Lu family, who works at the county agricultural bureau, has been busy trying to use his connections to save his father.

Moreover, the amount of money the commune had was not large, so it was quite good that he had been detained until now.

After Lu Defu came back, he locked himself in the house and didn't go out for three days.

His positions as accountant and second team leader have been taken away from him, and he is currently a layman.

This means that all the hard work over the years has gone down the drain. It’s impossible not to be angry!

"Ye Family! I'm not done with you!"

He originally thought that he could take the opportunity to bring down Ye Kuotian, or at least bring discredit to the Ye family, but what was the result?

Who would have thought that the unlucky person in the end would be myself!

Lu Defu could not swallow this humiliation no matter what. The hatred towards the Ye family in his heart was surging, and his mind was quickly thinking about how to take revenge next!

After much deliberation, Lu Defu decided to start with Ye Xiaojiao.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that she is the easiest one to bully in the family, and the Ye family members care about her very much. Only when something happens to this girl will everyone feel heartbroken!

However, Lu Defu is now the focus of the entire village. No matter where he goes, he will be stared at by all kinds of people, which greatly affects his work.

He thought about it, called his third son, and whispered in his ear for a while.

Lu San nodded hurriedly.

Because of what happened to their father, the whole family is angry and just waiting for revenge.

and--

hey-hey!

Lu San had his own little thoughts. He had been coveting Ye Xiaojiao for a long time and had confessed his love to her before, but was rejected rudely and also suffered a round of ridicule.

This made Lu San extremely furious, but with the men from the Ye family around, he didn't dare to do anything.

Originally, my father had agreed that as long as the Ye family fell, he would let Ye Xiaojiao become his wife.

God knows how angry Lu San was when Ye Xiaojiao and Fang Zihuai got engaged!

Now that his father has instructed him to take revenge, Lu San has nothing to worry about.

She is a silly girl, she is just pretty, otherwise no one would like her.

Lu San found a child from a village neighbor, gave him ten cents, and asked the child to help trick Ye Xiaojiao out, saying that Song Anyang was looking for her.

result…

Ye Xiaojiao had no reaction and continued reading at home.

Lu San?

"It seems that the rumors outside are true. This girl is really determined to get the surname Song."

Lu San stroked his chin and thought for a while, then gave the child some instructions.

Here, Ye Xiaojiao's thoughts on study were interrupted again, which made her a little unhappy. She asked back, "Are you sure it was Fang Zihuai who asked me? Didn't he just say it was from Song Anyang?"

The child didn't know what was going on and was just doing what Lu San told him to do. When he was suddenly asked this question, he felt a little guilty.

"I, I..."

But Ye Xiaojiao took out a piece of White Rabbit candy, waved it in front of the child, and coaxed him like a wolf grandmother: "Tell me, who asked you to come?"

The child swallowed: "I, I..."

But Ye Xiaojiao took out another piece of dessert, a red fruit crisp with black sesame seeds sprinkled on it, which made people's appetite increase just by looking at it.

The child surrendered instantly...

When Ye Xiaojiao heard that it was Lu San, she knew that the other party had no good intentions at all, and sneered: "Go back and tell them that I know. I will be there soon."

Do you know that it is easier to invite gods than to send them away?

Originally, she could still care about such small minions, but now, there is no need to be polite!

Lu San had no idea that his little trick had already been seen through by Ye Xiaojiao.

At this time, he was happily waiting for Ye Xiaojiao in the grove behind the village.

It is dusk now. Winter nights always come earlier, and every household is busy cooking at this time. There are not many people outside, so it is a very suitable time to start.

But——

Lu San waited and waited, but never saw Ye Xiaojiao.

The longer he stayed outside, the colder he felt. His whole body was almost frozen through and he could only pace back and forth shivering to move around to warm himself up.

"That brat, could it be that he was trying to trick me?"

Lu San's patience was gradually disappearing, and the anger in his heart was surging.

Just as he was about to go back, he suddenly heard some noise behind him.

Ye Xiaojiao is here.

Lu San's eyes lit up. Seeing that she was now more graceful and beautiful, with a little more girlish beauty, his heart couldn't help but get hot. Humph, even if this damn girl insisted on marrying Fang Zihuai, she had to let me taste her first!

"Xiao San'er, why are you here?"

Ye Xiaojiao, wearing a brand new cotton coat and deerskin boots, walked over leisurely and asked doubtfully.

Lu San frowned slightly. Others called him "San'er", but when the word "xiao" was suddenly added before the name, people felt that something was wrong.

He didn't care about these things at the moment. He took a few quick steps, grabbed Ye Xiaojiao's arm, and smiled obscenely: "I have a pee, I want to show you."
