Even if Daya can't succeed, marrying anyone would be better than marrying Ji Suzhen, a bitch who only eats and does nothing.

The mother and son had a heart-to-heart talk, and both of them agreed on some things in their hearts.

At the same time, the dull atmosphere just now also became relaxed.

Chen Wende tidied himself up and walked around the door.

The Qiao family lived in the north of the village. After Qiao Daya finished washing her clothes, she had to pass by her own door.

Thinking of Qiao Daya's agility and her youthfulness, Chen Wende felt that it was not impossible for him to accept an uneducated country girl.

After all, the pure lilies in the town turned into lifeless dead branches and rotten leaves in less than a year.

Thinking of Chi Suzhen's sallow and haggard face, and the way she was struggling with Che Jinmei, Chen Wende's eyes flashed with disgust.

His previous innocence, quietness, knowledge and elegance were all pretended. He was deceived into marriage by the Chi family.

"Jiang Xin, how long will you stay this time? When are you planning to go back?"

"I definitely can't go back today. I have to stay at home for one night. I'll take a look tomorrow afternoon. If there's nothing else, I'll go up in the afternoon."

The voices of Liu Xinyan and Qiao Jiangxin came from a distance. Chen Wende was shocked. He straightened his back and patted his clothes.

"Daya, are you done washing?" He seized the opportunity, jumped out, and had a smile on his face that he thought was as warm as spring breeze.

Qiao Jiangxin rolled her eyes, turned away, took two steps to the side, and walked past him as if avoiding the plague.

The smile on Chen Wende's face froze, and he turned around and stood in front of Qiao Jiangxin again.

"Daya, I apologize for what happened before. Also, please don't mind that Suzhen didn't listen to me just now. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Looking at Chen Wende, who was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back and pretending to be aloof, Qiao Jiang felt a flash of disgust in his eyes.

"Are you done? If you are, get out of the way."

Chen Wende choked, "Daya, are you still angry?"

At this moment, Liu Xinyan's eyes lit up and she waved behind Chen Wende, "Brother Gu, are you here to pick us up? Come quickly, this guy keeps pestering Jiang Xin."

She winked at Gu Yunzhou, as if to say, "Brother, here comes the chance, go for it."

Gu Yunzhou's face darkened when he saw Chen Wende. He rushed over, grabbed Chen Wende by the back of the collar and threw him to the side, causing him to stagger.

"Are you okay?" He looked at Qiao Jiangxin with concern.

Qiao Jiangxin was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yunzhou said in a gentle voice, "I haven't seen you guys come back all afternoon, so I'm just bored and come out to hang out."

As he said this, he turned his head with cold eyes and looked at Chen Wende up and down.

Gu Yunzhou said nothing, just sneered with disdain.

“Heh~”

Just this one look and this one sneer instantly shattered the self-esteem that Chen Wende had tried so hard to maintain.

Ever since he was persuaded to drop out of school and returned home, Chen Wende still felt that he was superior. Relying on his literary knowledge, he was arrogant and looked down on the country people, thinking that he was superior to them.

But now, the huge shame seemed to drown him. His face flushed and he avoided looking at people, not daring to look up at them for fear of revealing a trace of embarrassment.

Gu Yunzhou took the bucket from Qiao Jiangxin's hand with one hand, and took her hand with the other hand, holding it tightly and passed in front of Chen Wende.

"From now on, please stay away from the center of the river."
