Chapter 7: Sold to a bachelor as a wife?

The two of them had pork stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, and ate the entire pot of rice.

This time, Chen Yi didn’t want to eat anything in the space. She was already so full, what else was there to eat?

Moreover, this simple meal tastes really good. It is true that food tastes better when there are more people around.

She felt the food was tasteless and boring when eating alone these days.

After breakfast the next morning, He Mingcheng went out wearing a thick cotton jacket.

After seeing him leave, Chen Yi thought about helping to clean up the house.

No matter what, they have taken me in for several days, so I will try to help in any way I can.

The other side.

He Mingcheng found Li Qinglin, who was sitting in the yard picking corn kernels.

"Captain, are you busy?" He walked over and greeted him.

Li Qinglin looked up at him and said with a smile, "Chengzi is here, come in."

He knew why He Mingcheng came, so he didn't ask.

The two people entered the house and He Mingcheng went straight to the point.

"Captain, what's the matter with that female educated youth?" He frowned slightly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

We clearly agreed to move out soon, but it's been several days and there's still no news.

Li Qinglin sighed and said helplessly, "The two houses with collapsed roofs have not been repaired yet, and the kangs at the educated youth camp don't have yellow mud. What do you want me to do?"

"Chengzi, let Xiao Chen stay at your place until spring. It will be easier once the snow melts."

"What the hell? Live here until spring?" He Mingcheng made a stop gesture.

"Don't even think about it! Don't you consider that we are both of the opposite sex, how can this be convenient?"

He doesn't want to do it at all! Don't even think about it!

Besides, it’s not convenient for a lesbian like her.

Li Qinglin was very helpless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Chengzi, look at how pretty that little Chen is. How nice it would be to have her as your wife? Wouldn't that make things more legitimate?"

He actually had this idea in mind from the beginning, but was just too embarrassed to say it.

He Mingcheng came to Xiaohe Brigade when he was four or five years old. Now he is twenty-two years old and it is time for him to get married.

Uncle He had helped them a lot in the past, so Li Qinglin remembered their kindness.

Although Chen Yi was an educated youth from the city, he did not have any bad habits.

It has been several years since the educated youth went to the countryside, and none of them can go back. Some have already settled down here, and it is only a matter of time before the remaining educated youth settle down here.

"What?" He Mingcheng was stunned and waved his hands quickly, "Uncle Li, are you kidding me? How could I possibly be with her..."

Isn't this nonsense?

No, no!

Although the female educated youth was pretty, he didn't like her.

People in the city are used to a good life, how can they get used to it here?

What if he can return to the city one day, won’t he be the one abandoned?

If I leave two children behind, it will be the end of me.

The thought of this made him even more unwilling.

"Captain, there is no room for negotiation. I don't agree." He Mingcheng clearly refused.

No matter what Li Qinglin said, He Mingcheng just disagreed, and the two of them parted unhappily.

Fang Xiaoli stood in front of the captain's house. Seeing that there was no one in the yard, she mustered up the courage to go in and knock on the door.

"Is the captain at home? I'm Fang Xiaoli." She hasn't seen Chen Yi for several days. Where did this person go?

She came here because she was worried.

The captain saw the people outside the door and said to He Mingcheng, "Wait a moment, I'll go out and take a look."

He Mingcheng rolled his eyes, then went into the house and sat on the kang waiting.

Fang Xiaoli saw the captain coming out and asked quickly, "Captain, where is Chen Yi? I haven't seen her for several days."

In fact, she even suspected that the person had been sold.

After all, Chen Yi is good-looking, and I heard that there are many people in rural areas who can’t find a wife.

What if the captain is a local tyrant and sells Chen Yi to a man without a wife?

Then she would cry to death.

Seeing Fang Xiaoli was extremely anxious, Li Qinglin then remembered that she and Chen Yi were from the same place.

It’s his fault that he forgot and didn’t explain.

"Comrade Xiao Fang, don't worry. This is what happened. There is no vacant house in our brigade, so I arranged for her to live with another fellow villager. But I forgot to tell you, I'm really sorry."

Fang Xiaoli was not reassured after hearing his explanation. Instead, she looked at him warily and said, "Captain, I must see Chen Yi today, otherwise I will go to the commune to sue you!"

Sue him?

Li Qinglin was stunned. "Comrade Xiao Fang, why are you suing me? What did I do?"

This puzzled him greatly, as he had been the team leader for several years and no one had ever suggested reporting or suing him.

What's wrong with this little girl?

Fang Xiaoli looked at his puzzled expression and thought to herself that this guy was really good at pretending.

"You must have sold Chen Yi to a bachelor as his wife! Otherwise, why wouldn't you let me see her!" she said solemnly.

Looking at this serious look, Li Qinglin was really speechless.

Flying green mullet!

"Comrade Xiao Fang, you misunderstood. How could I do such a thing! Xiao Chen really lives with her fellow villager. How about this, you come to my place in the evening and I will call her over." He had no choice but to do this.

He also said that he sold out Chen Yi. What nonsense!

Fang Xiaoli looked him up and down, still not quite believing it, "Why at night? I want to see her now! I think you have a secret!"

"Oh, I see!" She pointed at Li Qinglin and said, as if something had suddenly dawned on her: "You must be going to sell me out too! I tell you, I don't believe you!"

She applauded herself for her wit!

This person must have bad intentions, otherwise why would he wait until night to meet someone?

He must be selling her too!

Li Qinglin mullet...

"Comrade Xiao Fang, please don't talk nonsense. We are all honest farmers. We can't do anything like businessmen!"

"We live in a new society now. The old ways were feudal. Even in the past, we wouldn't have done that!"

These are all big matters, Li Qinglin said very seriously, human trafficking is not a joke.

Fang Xiaoli hesitated for a moment. She was a little anxious just now. The hat was indeed too big for the man.

She said in a relaxed tone: "Captain, I just wanted to meet Chen Yi. Now that I have met her and asked her clearly, isn't that enough?"

This request isn't difficult, right? As long as Chen Yi isn't sold out, why wouldn't they be allowed to meet?

Li Qinglin had no choice but to nod and say, "I'll take you to see her, but don't go out and tell her nonsense about what you just said. Is that ok?"

Fang Xiaoli agreed after hearing this, "Let's go."

As long as I see Chen Yi, everything will be easy.

Li Qinglin sighed. The people in the city nowadays are really stubborn.

It’s also his fault. He didn’t ask Chen Yi to talk to him before, otherwise why would there be so much trouble?

Please collect it
