...
I slept well all night.
A night of turmoil.
The next morning, the two rode their bicycles back and encountered Wang Jianshe and Zheng Fang, who were returning in a mule cart with large and small bags.
Zheng Fang was the first to see Chen Yifei and his wife, so she quickly covered her face and silently prayed that they couldn't see her.
Wang Jianshe was also somewhat embarrassed; his situation was even more dishonorable.
Others who went to the countryside as educated youth left behind glorious honors, but he left behind a shameful criminal record.
It's truly one of a kind.
Especially when I saw the culprit Chen Yifei, my cheeks felt burning.
It wasn't shyness; it was being terrified of Chen Yifei.
Wang Jianshe felt that he was probably the person who had been beaten by Chen Yifei the most.
He closed his eyes, his face covered with the marks of past beatings, though he had been hospitalized several times and was almost fully recovered.
It's a physical fear now...
The more afraid they were of Chen Yifei, the more Chen Yifei wanted to get closer to them.
He rode over with his wife on their bicycles: "Oh my, isn't this Comrade Zheng Fang and Comrade Wang Jianshe? It's been a long time!"
"I haven't been doing anything sneaky lately, I haven't seen you guys for several days."
Upon hearing Chen Yifei's words, Zheng Fang's expression darkened even further.
"We are very busy."
He Runqing looked at the mule cart, which was full of festive items, peanuts, melon seeds, and many other things needed for a banquet.
I remembered hearing my mother-in-law say that at home.
The Zheng family is going to hold a banquet.
"Are you preparing for your wedding?" He Runqing asked.
Zheng Fang nodded, quite haughtily: "Otherwise what? I married for true love. Unlike you, how vulgar."
"That's how the two of them got married—by sleeping together. It was an arranged marriage, the kind that the older generation did."
"Construction, how do you use that cultural term you taught me?"
“We are enlightened. Because you are with me, my dear, and we are inseparable, we don’t care about so many material things. Those things like ‘three turns and one sound’ are all external possessions.”
"Zheng Fang and I are in love! It's like the love between Lin Daiyu."
Chen Yifei: "...Damn it, how dare you insult Lin Daiyu? Zheng Fang isn't even as good as one of her fingers."
He Runqing covered her mouth and laughed. Chen Yifei's words were so funny that her stomach was about to hurt from laughing.
Zheng Fang was also puzzled, clenching her fist and saying, "Didn't you say that clearly? Who is Lin Daiyu? What kind of wild woman is she?"
"Wang Jianshe, have you fallen in love with someone else?"
Wang Jianshe had originally thought of countless cultural terms to justify his actions, believing that these rural people were not cultured.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Fang was even more humiliated.
Wang Jianshe clenched his fists, furious: "I can't say for sure about the others, but Zheng Fang, you shut up."
"Why should I shut up? We're getting married, and you're still thinking about other women. Jianshe, you were saved by our family. Don't you know how much money we've spent on you?"
"Your parents should thank our family for coming to your wedding this time. You'll owe me for the rest of your life."
Wang Jianshe covered his head, feeling extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Finally, he sighed and said, "I understand."
He was like a puppet, powerless and without dignity, yet he was ridden on a bicycle by Chen Yifei, whom he looked down upon the most, and the most beautiful educated youth.
Chen Yifei is no good person; he's just looking for a spectacle.
"Your family isn't planning to send us invitations?"
Zheng Fang, now defiant, handed it over: "Your dad is the brigade leader, do you think our family would dare refuse? You didn't invite me, but you have to come."
“I will come. When you get married, I think I will even sit in the VIP section. After all, I was the one who brought you together.”
"As for this gift money, we won't give it. When we have a banquet, your mother will come and steal some vegetables and rice to take back for you to eat."
"I saw it."
Zheng Fang: "..."
They did indeed eat there, and Chen Yifei's family hosted a very good banquet. Everyone was incredibly envious and eager to eat.
"If you don't want to give it, then don't. People saying you're stingy has nothing to do with our family."
Chen Yifei shook his head: "No, it won't happen. It'll be done tomorrow, right?" He looked at the invitation.
"Okay, prepare a chair for me when the time comes. I'll go over and support you when you serve tea to thank the elders and matchmaker."
Zheng Fang was furious when Chen Yifei said that.
But what about the energy of gas?
Her current concern is that Chen Yifei's reputation in the village is too high.
Especially after the commune brought the brigade leaders and village party secretaries from other villages to come and inspect the area during those few days.
The villagers are praising Chen Yifei like a god.
Zheng Fang completely broke down: "Get out! Chen Yifei. Take He Runqing with you and get out. I never want to see you again in my life."
"My bright future with you is all thanks to you; you changed everything."
After Chen Yifei had angered Wang Jianshe and Zheng Fang to the point of stomping their feet, he pulled his wife aside and said, "Wife."
"How about it? Watching the clown act crazy, isn't it kind of funny?"
He Runqing nodded: "Yes! We've already been very kind, Comrade Chen Yifei. Shall we go watch the excitement tomorrow too?"
“Go ahead. Everyone in the village will be there tomorrow, so we can turn the wedding into a mobilization meeting. The educated youth can’t keep up with my pigsty and mushroom farm right now, we don’t have enough manpower.”
"Get everyone moving, come over and pay up."
He Runqing gave a thumbs up: "Comrade Chen Yifei is really amazing."
"It's because of Comrade He Runqing that it's so impressive."
