Chapter 8 I didn't wait for her

Yu Xiangwan felt that it was not advisable to stay here for long.

She covered the pumpkin seeds and tugged at Xiang Hong's sleeve: "Mom, Dad said he has to go to work later."

The village is so lively today that it seems like a big opera is being performed. No one in the village is in the mood to work, but Yu Daming is the production team leader and he cannot get used to everyone.

He asked Xiang Hong to take the brother and sister home first, mainly because he didn't want Yu Xiangwan, the person involved, to arouse everyone's desire to gossip.

But those who need to go to work still have to go to work.

Yu Xiangwan, a newly divorced woman, is no exception.

Newly married couples can take a day off, but divorced couples don’t need to do so.

Nothing is more important than production!

Nothing is more important than earning work points and filling your stomach!

Xiang Hong slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, it really is!"

"Sister Cuilan, I'm going to go back first. Ying Zheng finally came back, you must have taken a few days off, so spend some time with your son!"

Yu Xiangwan said goodbye politely.

As soon as the Lu family's gate was closed, the two young men breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Yingzheng almost dug his way out of the three-bedroom, one-living room apartment.

He thought Yu Cuilan was just talking, but he didn't expect that she would actually do it.

"Mom! Don't talk nonsense next time. I and..."

And that weird Yu Xiangwan? How is that possible?

Yu Cuilan ignored Lu Yingzheng's words, didn't even look at him, and left.

This son has the toughest mouth of all.

You don't like her but you're still staring at her?

By the time he catches the girl, all the mosquitoes will be gone.

Outside the courtyard, the mother and daughter were also talking.

Yu Xiangwan thought that by pretending to have amnesia, she could avoid Yu Cuilan's matchmaking.

Unexpectedly, Comrade Xiang Hong actually had this idea.

"Wanwan, I'm not pushing you, Ying Zheng is a really good kid—"

Yu Xiangwan interrupted: "Mom, are you serious?"

Xiang Hong: "Of course I am serious."

Yu Xiangwan: "But I just got divorced today!"

Xiang Hong suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot."

Yu Xiangwan: ...

How could you forget this?

Doesn’t her mother really care about Zou Jianwen?

That's right. Xiang Hong told her children to lock the door and go to work, feeling sorry for the way she walked.

It’s all Zou Jianwen’s fault. How abominable.

She wished Zou Jianwen had never appeared.

Yu Xiangwan and a few others walked to the fields in a low profile.

Taking his daughter's mood into consideration, Yu Daming arranged for her to pull weeds today.

In fact, even if he didn't care about his daughter's mood, Yu Daming would not assign her too much work.

One reason is that she loves her daughter, and the other is that Yu Xiangwan can't do anything about it.

Obviously, Yu Daming overestimated Yu Xiangwan.

When work was almost over, Yu Xiangwan looked at the endless fields, working mechanically with his hands, and everything in front of his eyes went dark.

[So tired, so tired...]

[Ah, when will this end...]

[Wuwuwu, I can’t stand it anymore. I really want to go home and lie down…]

Growing up in the city, she has hardly ever done farm work.

Her body's muscle memory allows her to do the job skillfully, but once she's done it, it's another matter.

The long periods of bending over and lowering her head and moving her hands made her feel pain all over.

[My hands are so sore, my neck is so sore, my waist is so sore. ]

It's like participating in the Metamorphosis!

The most terrifying thing is that Yu Xiangwan knew clearly that other people's metamorphosis took a few days, weeks or months, but what awaited her was several years!

[Three hundred and sixty-five days in a year, how many years...Oh my God, I can't stand it! ]

Yu Xiangwan went back home with no regrets.

This road seems particularly long.

Lu Yingzheng stood at the door, folded his arms and watched the figure moving step by step not far away.

He could always hear Yu Xiangwan's thoughts.

Yu Xiangwan kept talking, and thanks to her personality, he was able to infer a lot of information about her from her thoughts.

She seemed to be very docile and had never done farm work.

He can't even accept something like pulling out weeds. Is he from a city background?

He was not very familiar with the former Yu Xiangwan, but he also knew that although the former Yu Xiangwan was pampered, she had always been doing farm work.

It's not my first day on the job, so I definitely wouldn't express the same feelings as I do today.

So, is the Yu Xiangwan in front of us still Yu Xiangwan?

How did she "replace" it?

How did she know the things she was sure would happen?

She was like a mist.

Visible, yet unseeable.

Lu Yingzheng prided himself on being knowledgeable and experienced, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Should I interrogate her, or approach her quietly?

He's not sure.

Yu Xiangwan was so tired that she walked to the door of the next door before she saw the military green figure.

She looked over and saw Lu Yingzheng also staring at her.

Very sharp.

Yu Xiangwan was worried.

[Why are you looking at me like a criminal? I am not a criminal. I am a good citizen who obeys the law! ]

Lu Yingzheng's heart skipped a beat, but he continued to observe for a few seconds without showing any expression before he closed his eyes.

After being reminded by Yu Xiangwan's inner voice, his mind suddenly became much clearer.

Yes, if she was in good condition originally, why did she come here?

So, it is very likely that she did not do it voluntarily.

Furthermore, she considers herself a good person who abides by the law.

It's not that Lu Yingzheng is arrogant. He has arrested even the most vicious criminals and has met all kinds of people.

I do have the ability to tell whether a person is a genuinely good person or someone pretending to be a good person.

You can also tell whether the other person is telling the truth or lying.

He had never sensed any malice from Yu Xiangwan.

And when she said that she was a good person, he could tell that she was not lying.

It is this contradiction that makes the current situation even more difficult.

After watching Yu Xiangwan walk in, he heard greetings from next door. It sounded like Yu Xiangwan was getting along well with her family.

He was the only one who could hear Yu Xiangwan's inner voice, which meant that he had no evidence to prove that Yu Xiangwan in front of him was a "substitute".

If he really told others that he could hear his inner voice, he might be sent for a brain examination first.

Difficult.

Lu Yingzheng retracted his gaze.

He was about to close the door when he turned his head inadvertently and saw a head behind the kitchen door suddenly retract.

Lu Yingzheng: ...

"Click", the door is locked.

Lu Yingzheng stretched out his long legs and walked into the kitchen.

"Lu Yingxiao."

Yu Cuilan immediately hugged her little daughter and glared at her son: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yingxiao buried his face in Yu Cuilan's arms, revealing the back of his head which was pitch black.

Lu Yingzheng was helpless.

He didn't say anything, just called out my name, and that's how it was.

This sister is fifteen years younger than him.

When she was born, he was already a teenager.

She didn't even remember when he went to the army.

Moreover, my mother always said that my sister was very shy. Except for going to school, she basically never left the house and didn't talk to outsiders.

Lu Yingzheng felt that, to her, he was also a person who had returned from outside.

But this is his sister, how could he not love her?

Lu Yingzheng sighed: "What was she looking at me at just now?"

Yu Cuilan immediately said, "I asked her to see it."

When she said this, Yu Cuilan became excited.

"Were you waiting for Wanwan at the door just now? Xiaoxiao said she saw Wanwan passing by the door."

Lu Yingzheng: ...

He was waiting specifically for Yu Xiangwan, but it was definitely not the kind of "waiting" that Yu Cuilan mentioned.

Lu Yingzheng had no way of denying the fact. Yu Cuilan's heart moved and she became more excited. She wanted to stimulate her son and make him act quickly.

"I told you that you like her, right? If you don't like her, why are you blocking the door and staring at her?"

"Hey, your family leave is only a few days. When you come back, I can marry whoever I want."

"I heard that there are people in the city who are pursuing Wanwan. Maybe Wanwan will go to a big city when she gets there. I wonder where you can go to see her!"

Lu Yingzheng was stunned.

Yes, what should we do when he leaves?

Yu Xiangwan was indeed not a bad person, but he knew from her inner voice that she was capable of causing trouble.

What if something really happens? My mother and sister live next door, and he can’t help. What should he do?
