Chapter 37: I suspect you're trying to seduce him
Two more days of carefree living passed when the postman brought a letter from Chu Lian on his way to the countryside. Fortunately, it was just a letter, not a large package, which put Shen Yuzhu at ease.
Shen Yuzhu opened the letter, glanced at it, and burst out laughing.
This letter must have been sent shortly after she went to the countryside. It said that on the third day after she left, the cases of Lü Jiahao and Zhong Fu were decided. Lü Jiahao was sentenced to a heavier sentence and would have to spend his life in prison. Zhong Fu, Shen Yuxia, and Shen Yukun were sent to a farm in the Northwest, where conditions were harsh and their survival depended on their fate.
As for Shen Yucheng, like Lü Jiahao, he will never have the chance to see the light of day again in this lifetime.
After explaining their plans, Chu Lian wrote at the end of the letter that she missed her very much, but she was about to move to the capital. Once she arrived in the capital, she would try to find some things that she could use in the countryside and send them to her.
Shen Yuzhu “.......”
A mother's love is so overwhelming, it can also be a burden!
With the dual guns about to be ready, Captain Lü Guangzhi held a mobilization meeting at the threshing ground, set the date, and gave some encouraging words. Shen Yuzhu secretly slipped Ma Daya a White Rabbit milk candy, and the two sisters smiled at each other, sharing their sweetness in the crowd.
"You and Sister Ma have such a good relationship now, it's making me jealous."
Hearing this, Liang Manxiu wholeheartedly agreed. She had wanted to live her life peacefully before, but when Shen Yuzhu came, she wanted to avoid her and pretend not to know her. However, she did not expect that Shen Yuzhu would not only not come over to talk to her, but would also get along with someone else.
This made her feel a little sour, but now it wasn't just a little sour; she felt extremely uncomfortable.
One after another, they're all vying for her position, especially this Ma Daya. Taking advantage of her pitiful background, she cleverly snatched Qiao Wangshu's place, leaving her practically unable to even get close. It's infuriating!
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're all my good sisters. Listen carefully, or someone will say you're not paying attention in the meeting."
"Okay, okay."
The two were whispering to each other with their heads down when Liang Manxiu overheard them. Her eyes lit up, and she reached out and tapped Shen Yuzhu's shoulder.
Am I one of your best friends?
Shen Yuzhu: "???"
Qiao Wangshu: "!!!"
What kind of ears do you have? How can you hear so clearly?
"Hehehe, Liang Zhiqing, you have such sharp ears. We are all educated youth, of course we are a loving family, all good sisters, good sisters."
Liang Manxiu was somewhat displeased to hear that she spoke as if they were brothers, as this was not what she wanted to hear.
"There's something else. A group of researchers from the Beijing Agricultural Research Institute have come to our county. They're here to conduct research on increasing grain production. Everyone must treat them with utmost respect. They are all national talents. If I find anyone neglecting them, hmph, one word: deduct work points."
"Captain, deducting work points isn't just a word."
Lü Guangzhi: "...Don't talk too much. That's pretty much the gist of it. By the way, if any researchers need accommodation when they go to the countryside, please be understanding and treat them well with food and drinks. The brigade will provide subsidies."
Shen Yuzhu didn't take the matter to heart, but when she turned her head, she saw that Qiao Wangshu's body was stiff and there were some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Wangshu, Wangshu, what's wrong?"
"Wang Shu..."
Shen Yuzhu touched her forehead and tugged at her, finally bringing her back to her senses.
"What's wrong with you? I called you several times but you didn't hear me."
"No, I'm fine. Is the meeting over yet? I'm not saying this to be mean, but every time the brigade leader holds a meeting, his words are like an old lady's foot binding cloth—long, tedious, and without any point. Tsk tsk tsk, it makes people want to doze off."
Shen Yuzhu: "!!!"
"......."
Goodness gracious, can you please keep your voice down? These are all local villagers here. Are you afraid they'll secretly make things difficult for you?
At the county agricultural research institute's resettlement site, Zhou Congsheng came out of his dormitory and saw Qiao Nianyu, a researcher from the institute, walking over with a bag on her back and a stack of materials in her hands.
"Comrade Zhou, I need to talk to you about something. Would it be convenient for us to go to your room to discuss it?"
Zhou Congsheng locked the door and stuffed the key into his pocket.
"It's inconvenient, Comrade Qiao, please say what you have to say here!"
"......"
Qiao Nianyu bit her lip and looked at him with a hint of grievance. "Comrade Zhou, we came to the countryside together to be comrades who will stay on the front line. Although I don't know what I did wrong that made you dislike me, I hope we can still get along well, since we'll be here for a long time."
Zhou Congsheng frowned as he looked at her, thinking that this person seemed even less intelligent than Zhao Yue.
"Comrade Qiao, we should just focus on our duties and there's no need for personal relationships. What you said to me today is a bit unnecessary."
Qiao Nianyu: "......."
"No, I just felt that since we live in the same unit, we should get to know each other better so we can help each other in the future. I'm a girl who came all this way here and don't know anyone, so I'm a little scared."
"You have so many colleagues in your research institute, and you don't know a single one of them? You're not even familiar with your teacher?"
Qiao Nianyu: "......."
This is impossible to talk to today!!!
"Comrade Zhou is here to protect our safety, right? I just wanted to get to know you beforehand so it would be easier for us to work together in the future. If you felt that what I just said was presumptuous, then just pretend I didn't say anything, okay?"
Zhou Congsheng was losing patience. This subtle intimacy was making him feel incredibly awkward!
"Brother, I've come to have dinner with you. Oh ho, there's also the spoiled sister here, spoiled sister."
"Zhao Yue, don't give people nicknames!"
"What are you doing? I'm not at work today, so don't order me around, hmph!" Zhao Yue raised her eyebrows and gave Qiao Nianyu a sly look from head to toe. The latter felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and hid behind Zhou Congsheng.
Before Zhou Congsheng could get away, Zhao Yue pulled her out.
"What are you doing? It's one thing to keep finding excuses to see my brother, but you're also sticking to him like glue. Do you know he has a fiancée? I suspect you're trying to seduce him."
Zhou Congsheng: "???"
Qiao Nianyu: "!!!"
"......."
"You, you're talking nonsense. I just came to see Comrade Zhou about something. Comrade Zhao, how could you assume such things about me? I really didn't mean anything by it. Could it be that Comrade Zhao is thinking this way himself, so he can imagine other things about everyone he sees?"
Zhao Yue shrugged and turned to Zhou Congsheng, "Brother, what does she mean by this? Does she mean I like you? Do you believe her?"
"Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Look, he doesn't believe you, and even says I'm a ghost. Your attempts to sow discord just now, hehe, no, they didn't work!"
Qiao Nianyu: "......."
This woman is sick, this woman is absolutely insane!!!
