Chapter Thirty-Nine: As long as your reputation is ruined
"If it were that easy, you'd be letting me off easy, Zhang Li. Don't tell me you have some ulterior motive, do you?" Lai Pi Tou grabbed a handful of his scalp covered in sores and rubbed it vigorously on his clothes.
He scratched his chest, flicked the mud ball he had grabbed off with his fingernail, and spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground. He rubbed his feet together vigorously, and still not satisfied, he scratched his dark toes with his dirty hands.
Zhang Li's face remained expressionless, but inwardly he was extremely disgusted.
"What's wrong with me giving you a free ride? You've seen that woman surnamed Chen before, she's very beautiful and rich. She built several spacious houses as soon as she came to our village. I don't believe you're not envious, hehehe... Now she's taking pity on my old woman. As long as I ask, I can lure that woman surnamed Chen out. Then you can do whatever you want, right?"
As Lai Pitou listened to his description, the beautiful figure of Shen Yuzhu involuntarily appeared in his mind. Not to mention Xiangyang Production Team, it would be hard to find a woman as beautiful as Shen Yuzhu in the surrounding villages and even in the entire Ningyang County.
From the moment she arrived at Xiangyang Production Team, a bunch of young men went crazy. If they could be assigned to a task with her, they would work with great enthusiasm and boundless energy. After work, they would drag their tired bodies around in front of Shen Yuzhu, just wanting to take a second look.
Marry her?
I'd have the desire, but not the guts!
They come from big cities, they're not pretentious or delicate, they're quick to do farm work, and they're incredibly kind. You can't bring yourself to have any bad intentions towards them. Every auntie and grandma in the village likes them.
As a single man approaching forty, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it!
Seeing that his gaze was wandering and he didn't respond, Zhang Li rolled his eyes and continued, "No matter where she comes from, she's still a woman, over twenty years old. She should at least find a partner, right? If she's going to find a partner, why can't it be you? You shameless bastard, someone like you would never find a woman like that in your next life. But as long as she ruins her reputation, tsk tsk tsk!"
"During the busy harvest season, people are exhausted. It's normal to accidentally fall into the river while washing clothes. This happens every year. If you could save her, you would have hugged and touched her. Wouldn't she marry you? I'm just useless. Otherwise, would it be your turn?"
Zhang Li leaned closer to Lai Pi Tou, supporting himself on his back.
"After this is done, I want half of the Shen family's fortune. You rascal, tell me, are you in or not?"
Lai Pi Tou stared at him, his eyes slowly revealing a fierce glint.
Ma Daya covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would make a sound and be heard by the two vicious men in the room.
They want to harm Yuzhu, they want to harm her sister! No, this is absolutely unacceptable!!!
When Zhou Congsheng rode his bicycle to Xiangyang Production Team, it was still bright outside and not yet dark. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and a military belt around his waist was very eye-catching.
A gentle breeze swept by, causing his slightly long bangs to flutter messily across his forehead, and his shirt to billow in a large bulge.
The young women, wives, and female educated youth who had gathered wild vegetables from the foot of the mountain were stunned by the sight.
"Who is this guy? Why is he so handsome?"
"I don't know, I've never seen them before. Who are they looking for?"
"He's coming, he's coming, Shujuan, did you see him glance at me twice? He's coming this way, is he looking for me?"
........
Zhou Congsheng originally wanted to stop and ask if anyone knew where the educated youth settlement was, but suddenly his gaze fixed on a few people squatting at the intersection not far away, eating melons. His cheeks twitched a few times, and he almost dropped the handlebars.
After finishing her meal, Shen Yuzhu was about to go into her spatial dimension to rest when there was a knock on the courtyard gate. Lu Jianshe, along with Zhou Li and Li Wang, came over carrying a watermelon. Not wanting to eat it all by herself, she immediately called out to Qiao Wangshu and Lin Wanwan, and after thinking for a moment, she also called out to Liang Manxiu and Wang Liping.
Then the seven of them squatted at the intersection and divided the watermelon among themselves.
Shen Yuzhu, who was enjoying her meal, squinted her eyes and was about to turn to talk to Lü Jianshe when a pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up and saw a familiar person. She excitedly exclaimed "Ah!" and was about to stand up when her legs went numb and she almost fell to the ground.
Zhou Congsheng had no time to be angry anymore. He grabbed her waist and carefully pulled her into his arms.
Are you alright?
"I......"
"Hey, who are you? Let go right now. How dare you touch a woman like that? I'll break your legs."
"Release Yuzhu!"
........
Qiao Wangshu took the lead, followed closely by Liang Manxiu. Lü Jianshe and Zhou Li also smashed watermelon rinds, pretending to fight. Li Wang, who had just gotten the last piece of watermelon, quietly took a step back, worried that if this opportunistic bastard got beaten up, his blood might splatter on his watermelon.
Shen Yuzhu laughed heartily twice and tried to get out of Zhou Congsheng's arms, but he wouldn't let her go. Not only did he not let her go, but he also pulled her closer and pressed her head against his chest.
He raised an eyebrow and gave Lü Jianshe a provocative look.
"Hey, you little brat, don't you understand me?"
"Let go of my hand? I told you to let go of my hand?"
"Damn it, Zhou Li, get him!"
"Get him!"
Wang Yanhong and Zhang Shujuan, who were standing over there, also rushed over. They had just seen Shen Yuzhu deliberately lean against this man when she stood up.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? It's obvious that Shen Yuzhu leaned against that guy. Are you blind?"
"That's right, they're really not being considerate of their image. Shen Yuzhu, you're an educated youth, get out of his arms right now. What kind of behavior is this? It'll only damage the reputation of us educated youth in the end."
Seeing the two of them looking angry, Shen Yuzhu not only refused to get out of his arms, but also rubbed her cheek against him slightly. Feeling the man who had been acting awkwardly just now, she immediately froze.
Zhang Shujuan and Wang Yanhong blushed and looked at Shen Yuzhu, muttering under their breath, "Shameless."
Seeing that Lü Jianshe and Zhou Li were about to rush over, Shen Yuzhu quickly pulled off the iron arm around her waist, turned her head and looked at the two of them, saying, "Stop, stop, cough cough cough... Um, let me introduce you, this is my fiancé, Zhou Congsheng."
Everyone: "!!!"
"......."
Isn't this a joke?!
He led Zhou Congsheng back to his small courtyard, turned to look at him and said, "When did you come to Heilongjiang Province? Didn't I tell you to prioritize your own goals?"
"I'm on a mission, and it's very important, Sister Yuzhu. It's not entirely for you, so don't overthink it."
Shen Yuzhu pouted. Since he was already here, she couldn't just send him away. Besides, she missed him anyway.
Seeing him constantly looking up at the sky, Shen Yuzhu, who was walking towards the main room, muttered, "It's already dark and he's still looking at the sky. Is he looking at the sun or the moon?"
Zhou Congsheng, looking up at the sky, was speechless.
He clenched his fists tighter and tighter, then pursed his lips before saying, "Your shirt button popped open."
He couldn't help but offer a reminder.
Shen Yuzhu: "......."
It burst open...
Shen Yuzhu looked at her chest in a daze, and sure enough, a button had popped open.
"It broke open on the way back. Don't worry, I was the only one who saw it."
Shen Yuzhu: "..."
Why didn't you say so earlier, you pervert!!!
