"Mm." Chen Yifei nodded.
Indeed, in his past life, he was a bachelor who came home empty-handed every day after socializing. At that time, he thought it would be nice if someone could prepare a simple meal of three dishes and a soup for him.
Then, fearing he might misunderstand, He Runqing quickly added, "I don't want to be a parasite, I just want my husband to take care of me..."
“It’s great to be a strong woman. You can do your own thing every day, and you’re very serious and capable. But I can’t do that. I want to take care of the things I want to do, and more importantly, I want to take care of my family.”
At this point, her face flushed red: "I'm sorry, I accidentally said too much..."
"Mm." She could say whatever she wanted without needing to apologize to herself.
"We've arrived." It just so happened that we had arrived at the educated youth settlement. Chen Yifei still had to set up his stall, so he didn't say much to her, only reminding her to be careful.
He Runqing watched his bicycle ride away into the distance, and felt a moment of disappointment.
I feel extremely comfortable being with him.
She wasn't uncomfortable in the slightest.
Wang Mei came over carrying a hoe and handed He Runqing a sickle: "Qingqing, what are you thinking about?"
"No...no." She quickly looked away.
Wang Mei covered her mouth and laughed: "I think Chen Yifei is pretty good. If you two get married, it would be great if he could protect you and treat you well!"
“We were female students before we came here. We didn’t know anything, and being bullied was a common occurrence. We don’t know what we will do as educated youth in the future! It’s better to get married as soon as possible.”
"Yes." He Runqing nodded. "I think so too."
He is indeed a good person, very considerate, and good-looking. Although he doesn't talk much, He Runqing remembers when he stood up for her!
Was this a twist of fate that led to a good marriage?
They were so desperate they wanted to die, but surprisingly, in just a few days, they started to look forward to the marriage. It's amazing.
Wang Mei pointed to the room with the male educated youth and whispered, "Let's hurry up and get to work."
"Then Zheng Fang came to see Wang Jianshe."
He Runqing didn't understand: "What does her coming to see Wang Jianshe have to do with us?"
"Wasn't she and Chen Yifei childhood sweethearts?"
He Runqing, who was usually gentle and easy to talk to, felt like she had misheard the news.
She still remembers the words Zheng Fang said to her that day.
However, He Runqing was indeed ashamed that night, and there was nothing to argue about.
But Zheng Fang has come here to see Wang Jianshe more than once or twice... Isn't that letting Chen Yifei down?
Chen Yifei was such a good person...
He Runqing clenched her fists, and her small body seemed to be filled with a strange energy.
Wang Mei said, "Who wouldn't want to cover their ears after hearing those suggestive sounds in broad daylight? Seriously, they're already doing *that* in broad daylight!"
"Wasn't Wang Jianshe always thinking about returning to the city? I don't know what he was thinking, getting involved with Zheng Fang."
"Now that they're all at the educated youth settlement, if they can go back to the city, they'll definitely take them with them."
After he said that, the sounds coming from inside the room grew louder and louder.
He Runqing felt she couldn't listen anymore, and the other female educated youths also left one after another.
Isn't this a matter of conduct?
It's better to avoid trouble; those who can leave have already left!
Inside the room, Zheng Fang lay in Wang Jianshe's arms, her face still streaked with tears.
"Jianshe...does this hurt a lot?"
"That Chen Yifei is such a bastard, he actually hit you in the face. He's been harassing me, and now he's even laid a hand on you!"
Being hit by a man is never a shameful thing. Wang Jianshe pushed her hand away.
Having just finished, I need to calm down, and I'm not as enthusiastic about Zheng Fang's health anymore.
He sat up and lit a cigarette.
"Fangfang, what did you say? Haven't they apologized to you yet?"
"Isn't Chen Yifei's father the brigade leader? He'll definitely have money to compensate you. You can take their money and come with me."
Speaking of this, Zheng Fang was also a little angry.
Half-clothed, she stood up and hugged Wang Jianshe, her face full of grievance: "Their family is really shameless. Chen Yifei has already slept with that female educated youth, but they still haven't explained themselves to our family."
“I don’t know what to do either. I can’t just let my parents cause trouble, can I? That would be so embarrassing, it would make it seem like our family is interested in Chen Yifei.”
"You know I only love you. It was because of your schemes and plots against He Runqing that I agreed to go through with that good-for-nothing Chen Yifei to discuss marriage."
"Chen Yifei isn't even worthy to carry my shoes. I only love you, Jianshe. I'll give you my body..."
Zheng Fang was shy and reserved. She liked cultured people like Wang Jianshe, who could recite poetry and reason with her. He would also often wear glasses and doodle in a notebook.
He just looks different from the people around him. His appearance isn't exactly rugged, but he's cultured! He has a scholarly air about him.
When Zheng Fang first pursued him, Wang Jianshe righteously rejected her. So she kept trying to get closer, and eventually, her efforts paid off and they got together.
The night she gave herself away, Zheng Fang felt that her life had been worthwhile! No one else deserved to have her first time; only Wang Jianshe did.
Even if Chen Yifei does marry me, I can't let him succeed!
Zheng Fang looked down on petty thugs from the bottom of her heart.
All she ever wanted in her life was to climb the social ladder and move upwards; she absolutely refused to spend her entire life humiliated and miserable in the countryside.
Wang Jianshe held Zheng Fang's hand and said earnestly, "Zheng Fang, love means giving your all for someone. Now that I've given my all, my dad says I'll definitely get a spot to move to the city. Anyway, He Runqing has no hope."
“We’re leaving the day after tomorrow, and you need the money by tomorrow. You said you’re coming to the city with me, but if you don’t have money, will my parents respect you? If you don’t have money, can you buy nice clothes? Can you support yourself?”
Zheng Fang was a little unhappy. She pouted and turned her head away, saying, "Then you don't want to support me..."
"Modern women these days are supposed to be independent and self-reliant. Of course I'm willing to support you, but you have to be capable on your own. You can't use a single penny of the money you're owed as a partner."
"Only then will others respect you. If you have nothing, even if you go to the city, our love won't stand the test."
"Love must be built on a solid economic foundation!"
He spoke righteously, and Zheng Fang quickly wrote down the last sentence in her notebook, looking at Wang Jianshe with admiration.
"Yes, that's the idea."
"You're right."
Wang Jianshe enjoyed seeing the way others looked at him with admiration.
It makes him seem really awesome.
At least we got our revenge at Chen Yifei's place yesterday.
He easily won over a village beauty like Zheng Fang.
