Chapter 35: Taking Over as a Gatekeeper?



"Chu Zhiqing, you're finally back!"

Bai Qin was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

She ran towards Chu Zheling.

Chu Zheling dodged to the side, and she missed her target.

"Why?"

Bai Qin stared at him blankly.

Chu Zheling frowned at her. "You still have the nerve to ask me?"

"Listen to me, it's not what you think."

Bai Qin thought her affair with Leng Hongxing and those thugs had been discovered, and she panicked and became incoherent.

Chu Zheling interrupted her impatiently, "What do I want?"

Didn't I tell you to get that roughneck Leng Lie shot? At the very least, make him go to jail.

What? They got married instead?

So that's what he was talking about.

Bai Qin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She rubbed her eyes, looking aggrieved, "I don't know either."

To ensure that everything goes perfectly.

She summoned people in the middle of the night to catch them in the act.

Who knew that overnight...

Guan Yuxi seemed like a completely different person, refusing to be controlled by her at all.

Thinking about the hard life she had endured after moving out of the Guan family home, her eyes welled up with tears.

"I don't know what kind of bewitching potion Leng Lie gave Guan Yuxi."

She not only kicked me out that night, but also stole all my money.

Look, I've gotten so thin from starvation..."

She pouted and moved closer to Chu Zheling again.

This time, he didn't push her away.

Instead, he held her in his arms and stroked her face with immense tenderness.

"It's all your fault for messing things up."

I told you before, Leng Lie is your nemesis.

The longer he exists, the more unlucky you will be!

Thinking of the chilling look in Leng Hongxing's eyes, Bai Qin couldn't help but shiver.

Her bad luck really did start with him.

If she hadn't fallen for him at first sight, she should have been sent down to the better-off Osmanthus Village!

She came to this remote Lengjiagou for him.

Unexpectedly, Leng Lie completely ignored her and kept glancing at that bitch Guan Yuxi.

Finally, all for that bitch Guan Yuxi, he let her be raped by Leng Hongxing and those thugs...

She hated it so much!

And that old hag, she must get rid of them!

Chu Zheling coldly observed her anger, a meaningful smile flashing across his face.

"Leng Lie is ruthless and acts without any restraint."

Dealing with him won't be easy.

Bai Qin hugged him tightly, raising a fawning smile, "Then please help me."

Chu Zheling snorted coldly and suddenly pushed her away.

His face was full of arrogance and disdain.

He pointed to the tip of his nose. "Who do you think I am?"

"You think I'd be your henchman? You're so arrogant!"

He raised his hand and said coldly, "See this? This should have been a pair of hands for writing and painting."

As for me, the foundation of my existence is my clever mind.

Instead of being manipulated by you, a woman!

Bai Qin blushed deeply at his words, but didn't take them to heart.

The admiration and worship in their eyes only intensified.

"Brother Ling..."

"Stop, just call me Chu Zhiqing."

"Why?"

Bai Qin's joy turned to gloom.

Chu Zheling arrogantly raised his chin. "I'm doing this for your own good."

If others hear us and say we're having an affair, how will you come back to the city with me?

"A frivolous and dissolute woman will never be accepted by my family."

Bai Qin instantly became happy again.

Bah! Guan Yuxi, that little bitch, just married a rough country bumpkin.

Why is she trying to use those same tricks to please men?

"Chu Zhiqing, I was wrong."

So what should I do next?

Chu Zheling was a little annoyed by her admiring gaze and the way she rubbed against him.

He couldn't resist putting his hand inside her chest.

Bai Qin blushed and hummed softly, feigning reluctance.

Before long, the two of them were huddled together in the corner.

Chu Zheling found it inconvenient to stand, so he pulled her into the nearby grove of trees.

......

"Xiaoxi, young people need to think long-term when it comes to life."

"The period after spring, when food is scarce, is the most difficult time, and grain prices will rise accordingly. You should be more frugal."

Wen Er's mother took the cornmeal out of the basket.

Sweet potatoes were carelessly scattered all over the ground.

Before Guan Yuxi could say "no need," Aunt Wen Er had already left with her small basket on her back.

She had no choice but to take a sieve and put the sweet potatoes, which were full of sand and dirt, inside.

"Xiaoxi, come quick, I've found lots of wild vegetables for you."

Aunt Du placed the large basket on the stone mill.

He pulled out a bag of tender green wild vegetables and a small bag of white rice.

"I heard from Leng Lie that you love eating these wild vegetables, so I picked some for you while I was looking for pig feed."

If you like, I'll pick some for you again next time.

However, we can't just eat these things; we also need to eat some grains.

Otherwise, a person will get thinner and thinner, and may even swell up...

Aunt Du hurriedly stuffed the bag into Guan Yuxi's hands, "Remember what I said, don't just eat those wild vegetables."

If you run out of food at home, come to my auntie's house; she'll give you a meal.

"Aunt Du, I still have grain at home..."

"Take it if you have it, don't save everything for your man."

Guan Yuxi: "......"

She was simply unaccustomed to the winters of this era, where all she could eat were radishes and cabbages.

How did it come to this? Was it because the food was saved and the food was left cold?
