Chapter Eighty: My Heart Wavered
Wang Liping was happy to receive the betrothal gifts and dowry. She hadn't expected Feng Zhengyang to be so formal and not make her suffer any grievances.
They've taken care of everything, both outward appearance and inner substance.
On the other hand, Yu Xiaolin hasn't decided on marrying Lin Wanwan yet.
Looking at the few female educated youths who had previously insulted Wang Liping but were now gathered around her kang (heated brick bed) talking to her, Lin Wanwan's face twisted for a moment.
She secretly told herself not to rush. Yu Xiaolin must have talked to his family first. He didn't bring much money with him when he came to the countryside, and he had mentioned this before.
So she has to wait patiently.
Wang Liping already knew that she didn't need to make much effort to befriend the people in the educated youth settlement, but she was moved by the friendship between Shen Yuzhu and a few others, and suddenly she felt lonely.
It's surprising that someone who seems like a little white rabbit, easily frightened, could be so cunning.
Despite her numerous explanations, it wasn't her.
But if that weren't the case, Shen Yuzhu wouldn't have slapped her twice as soon as she arrived.
After dealing with a few people, Qiao Wangshu and Liang Manxiu returned, walked straight up to her, and stuffed a sand jar into her arms.
"This is what Yuzhu asked me to give you. It's homemade bibimbap with meat sauce in it. Let me tell you, it's incredibly delicious."
“We told Yuzhu that the three of us can go out and cook for others to earn a living. We can manage. When spring comes, Wangshu and I will build two rooms in front of Yuzhu’s courtyard and go out to live a normal life.”
To avoid getting upset here.
As they chatted, Xia Zhenzhen entered the room. The two women exchanged a glance and told Wang Liping what they had overheard outside, which made Wang Liping's heart skip a beat.
She had previously thought of discussing with Feng Zhengyang the idea of getting married first, and then separating later if there was a chance. After all, without feelings for each other, forcing themselves to live together would only hurt both of them.
But now she suddenly doesn't want to talk about it anymore. She's too lonely and longs for someone to rely on. And isn't Feng Zhengyang just that right now?
Xia Zhenzhen looked at the things piled on Wang Liping's kang (a heated brick bed), and felt a pang of sadness. She had sensed Feng Zhengyang's affection for her before, and although her marriage to Wang Liping was forced, seeing such a formal marriage proposal was still heartwarming.
She was still wavering and felt upset.
I pursed my lips, thought for a moment, and forced myself not to think about it or look at it; that would make me feel a little better.
Lin Wanwan blinked, stood up, and slowly moved closer to the group, gently tugging at Liang Manxiu.
Of the group, Qiao Wangshu was rude, Wang Liping was hypocritical, and Liang Manxiu was stubborn, but in her eyes, since they all came from poor backgrounds, only she could understand her.
"Manxiu, why didn't you talk to me just now? Now no one is talking to me, I'm so scared!"
"If you're scared, go to bed. Why are you all fussing over here? I can't warm you up."
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Someone in the educated youth settlement couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. Lin Wanwan's face turned pale instantly. She usually preferred to hide in the background, and this was the second time she had been openly surrounded and ridiculed like yesterday.
She didn't expect Liang Manxiu to be so disrespectful. How could she be so heartless? If it were based on their previous relationship, she would have at least hugged her and comforted her properly by now!
"Man, Manxiu, how could you say that? This didn't happen willingly, really, sob sob..."
"Don't whine in front of me, I didn't do anything to you."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and moved closer to Lin Wanwan. Lin Wanwan saw endless indifference through her cold gaze, and a chill ran down her spine.
"Lin Wanwan, you said you poured water for Feng Zhengyang and Wang Liping, and it's their bad luck that they drank it. You also said you gave water to Yu Xiaolin, but you never said you drank it yourself!"
Lin Wanwan's eyes widened instantly, her lips twitched, her eyelids twitched wildly, and her body swayed slightly.
Qiao Wangshu and Wang Liping were very unhappy to see the two of them seemingly embracing. They had just promised Yuzhu not to get close to her, but by playing the victim, they were softened by Manxiu.
Tsk, I'll have to have a good talk with her later.
"Lin Wanwan, do you think I'm friends with you? You and everyone else in this educated youth settlement are nothing but farts in my eyes. I'm warning you, Yuzhu is someone you can't afford to mess with. If you try anything bad with her, I'll definitely kill you."
Her words floated lightly, yet they slipped into Lin Wanwan's ears.
Her fierce appearance startled Lin Wanwan, who flinched for a moment, broke free of her grip, and staggered back a few steps.
Alright, he quickly took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed).
"What are you saying to her? Didn't you hear Yuzhu say to stay away from her?"
"Ah, she didn't say anything, just that it was her own choice and we won't play with her anymore. Liping, put all your things away, these were all given to you by Feng Zhiqing."
It's been sitting on the kang (heated brick bed) for a while now; that should shut up those gossipy mouths.
Lin Wanwan lay trembling in bed, her mind filled with Liang Manxiu's words. She could tell that Liang Manxiu was serious and would actually take action; she had actually called everyone a fart.
She could be so ruthless for Shen Yuzhu. When did they meet, and what was their relationship like?
At this moment, Shen Yuzhu is at Lü Zhiguang's house asking for leave!
“Shen, even though it’s the time to hibernate now, you can’t keep taking leave. If people see you going out all the time, it won’t look good. If they report it to the educated youth office, you’ll definitely get a lecture.”
The words of advice were heartfelt and considerate, and Shen Yuzhu knew exactly what they meant. However, she had important business to attend to and had to go out and take a look.
“I know, I know. Last time, we asked someone at the police station to look for my sister’s daughter, Yaya. We just got news that they’ve found the family. My sister is anxious to go see her.”
Holding a bag of coarse grains that someone had made for her, Aunt Qian listened to Shen Yuzhu's words and said happily, "We found the child! How is that girl doing?"
Shen Yuzhu shook her head. The visitor didn't say much, but judging from his tone, he must not be doing well. Otherwise, her sister wouldn't have been so absent-minded when she came to the house, which led to the misunderstanding with Zeng Hu. Cough cough cough... The scene was too beautiful to recall.
"Sigh, did the old man approve it? If the child is doing well, and the family treats her like their own daughter, then they can treat her like a relative. After all, they've raised her for so many years. But if they treat the child badly, then they should take her back. You have to love your own child, and you can't let her continue to suffer."
That old bastard didn't give the child away; he had someone sell him.
The girl wasn't particularly precious, but the family secretly had her fortune told and it was said that she had a good destiny, so they paid for her.
So Shen Yuzhu had already made up her mind to get the child back.
