After returning home, He Lanlan told He Zhengguo about how Lin Hu had deliberately injured Lin Zhiheng with a wooden box.
“Dad, I bet Lin Hu did this because of me. I'm the one who caused Lin Zhiheng to get injured. We have to pay for his medical expenses, and I have to take care of him every day.”
He Zhenguo had long seen through his daughter's thoughts.
Although Lin Zhiheng was just a poor boy, he did not object to his daughter being with Lin Zhiheng.
Because he could tell that Lin Zhiheng was a very sincere and reliable person, and that he would definitely treat his daughter well in the future.
As for his abilities, he believed that the child was only too young, and if he were to give him some guidance, he might be able to achieve great things in a few years.
The key is that his daughter likes him. As long as his daughter is happy and the other person isn't too bad, he won't have any objections.
"Lanlan, I'll go over there first thing tomorrow morning to handle this. Lin Hu won't need to come to the market to work anymore."
"Um."
At midnight, at the educated youth settlement
In the quiet dormitory of the female educated youth, all the women were sleeping when a voice suddenly rang out from the darkness, filled with extreme excitement.
"Hahahaha, the jade pendant, my phoenix jade pendant. I finally got you, hahaha, that's great. I don't have to be afraid of being plagued by a terminal illness anymore, I won't die young in this life, hahahaha."
The noise was so loud that it woke up the other female educated youth in the room.
Chen Lu turned on her flashlight and shone it on her, only to find that Shen Man had her eyes closed but was laughing wildly.
"Hahaha, hahaha, the jade pendant, my phoenix jade pendant, thank you for saving me."
The educated youth listened to her muttering to herself, but none of them understood what she meant.
Only Lin Sisi became visibly nervous after hearing her words.
She wondered if the phoenix jade pendant that Shen Man had mentioned was the one she had lost.
Her attention was entirely focused on the four characters on the Phoenix Jade Pendant, and she had no time to think about the meaning behind Shen Man's other words.
She quickly asked Shen Man, "Shen Zhiqing, what do you mean by the phoenix jade pendant? Where is that phoenix jade pendant now?"
If it's the piece she lost, she'll definitely find a way to get it back.
Has it already been found by Shenman?
She glanced at Shen Man's neck instinctively; it was completely bare, with nothing on it.
Shen Man probably woke up when she heard someone talking to her.
She opened her eyes and saw that the other educated youths were all awake and looking at her, especially Lin Sisi, whose face was almost touching hers.
She instinctively took a step back, looking at Lin Sisi in horror.
"Lin Sisi, what are you doing?"
Only then did she realize that she had just been dreaming.
Because Hu's mother told her that morning that there was a phoenix pendant made of white jade in the Hu family, and that there was a high possibility that such a pendant contained a space, she had been thinking about that phoenix pendant and had high hopes of being able to obtain a space through it.
It's probably because I think about it during the day and dream about it at night.
She dreamed of the jade pendant and obtained the space she had always longed for by dripping her blood onto it to claim ownership.
There were mountains and rivers, medicinal fields and spiritual springs there. With her own space, she was no longer afraid of getting uremia again and would not face death soon. The sudden joy made her shout out excitedly.
Lin Sisi just asked her where the phoenix jade pendant was, so Lin Sisi must have heard what she said, and the other educated youth must have heard it too.
She immediately denied it, "Jade pendant? What jade pendant? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Shen Zhiqing, you just mentioned the Phoenix Jade Pendant? Shen Zhiqing, what's wrong with the Phoenix Jade Pendant? I'm very curious," Lin Sisi pressed.
"Oh? Did I say that? I don't remember. I have no idea what a phoenix jade pendant is. Even if you're curious, I can't answer you. Don't ask me anymore."
She was puzzled. Lin Sisi seemed to care more about the phoenix jade pendant than the other educated youth. Why did she care so much about it?
What is the connection between that phoenix jade pendant and Lin Sisi?
Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, Lin Sisi knew that asking her again would probably yield no results.
She shouldn't push the other party too hard; she'll wait for a suitable opportunity to ask them.
Shen Man felt uneasy.
She just mentioned the Phoenix Jade Pendant and the question of whether she was alive or dead. Lin Sisi heard it, and the other educated youth must have heard it too.
Hopefully, they won't understand what she means, otherwise someone will try to take the jade pendant from her.
Hu Jiajia said, "Shen Zhiqing, are you dreaming? What you're saying is so strange."
"Oh, then I must have been dreaming."
"Hey, it was just a dream. Everyone, go to sleep, go to sleep. Tomorrow is the autumn harvest, and we have to get up early to work in the fields," Chen Lu said.
Thinking about the work they would have to do the next day, the female educated youth quickly lay down again to conserve their energy so they could work well the next day.
Lin Sisi also lay down, but she was still wondering whether the Phoenix Jade Pendant was with Shen Man.
In an underground casino somewhere in the city
With nearly sixty yuan he had earned from selling his blood, Hu Qinghai originally intended to win back all the money he had lost and then win back the money he had saved to redeem the jade pendant.
But little did he know that his luck was still bad today. He lost all sixty yuan in less than two hours and even owed his opponent twenty yuan.
Because he simply couldn't pay, his opponents kicked him out of the casino and warned him to pay back the twenty dollars within three days or they would beat him every time they saw him.
He returned to the dilapidated house in a daze and frustration, and sat blankly on the ground.
He recalled how he stole and sold the jade pendant, lost money gambling, and was subsequently forced to sell his blood.
