Chapter 123 The Cattle Herder of the Brigade
Gu Yuehuai touched Yan Shaotang's little face, his pupils also sparkling.
Every time she looked at the little girl, Yan Shaoyu's image would appear in her mind.
The brother and sister look very similar, but Yan Shaoyu's skin is even more delicate than Yan Shaotang's. However, he has an unruly personality, like a burning flame, and his appearance is never the first thing others notice.
After Yan Shaotang had eaten and drunk his fill and Gu Yuehuai had packed up, he made a pot of bamboo leaf tea with well water.
The bamboo leaves are the tender leaves that she picked out. They become flavorful after being dried. They taste sweet when brewed. With the help of the well water in the space, they are very sweet and thirst-quenching. She has been delivering bamboo leaf tea to the fields these days.
She had just poured the tea when Gu Zhifeng and others came back.
Gu Tinghuai had a very strange expression on his face. He looked at Gu Xihuai, and the two of them looked at each other in confusion. Gu Xihuai's ears even turned slightly red. He didn't know what he had heard, but he felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"
Gu Zhifeng's mouth twitched, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Chen Yuesheng, I heard that something happened in the reed marsh at the west end of the village last night. Widow Li and Chen Yuesheng... were found."
Although he spoke vaguely, Gu Yuehuai understood it immediately.
She was a little surprised. Chen Yuesheng was so shy yesterday trying to win her favor, but he got together with Li Chaoying at night? Was it the innate conditions in his previous life that were at work, or was Chen Yuesheng born a scum?
However, she did not dwell on it too much. After all, Tian Jing and Chen Yuesheng were a thing of the past. He and Gu Ruihuai had been eliminated one after another and were no longer a bargaining chip against Tian Jing. Now the only one who could be of use was Ren Tianxiang.
I wonder if Ren Tianxiang has succeeded yet? Why is there no news?
Gu Yuehuai's expression was calm, which made Gu Tinghuai and Gu Xihuai beside him look at him twice.
Perhaps out of doubt, Gu Tinghuai couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, you... you're not angry?"
Gu Yuehuai was slightly surprised and asked, "Angry? Why are you angry?"
As she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered her previous reputation. She was willing to risk her life for Chen Yuesheng and even did many things that lost her dignity. Thinking about it now, it was nothing but funny.
However, after such an incident, I'm afraid that everyone in the team will look at her with strange eyes for some time to come.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai felt a little headache and thought about going to the black market during the day and coming back at night.
While she was thinking about it, a voice came from outside: "Gu Yuehuai! Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you!"
Gu Tinghuai was slightly shocked: "It's Chen Yuesheng!"
Gu Xihuai said unhappily, "Why is he not in the brigade accepting punishment, but coming to find Yuehuai? He just had an incident with Widow Li, can he be quiet? Why does he have to take others with him to be satisfied?"
He has never had a good impression of Chen Yuesheng, both in the past and now, especially after seeing how he used to look down on Gu Yuehuai, and now seeing how he can't get what he wants, he feels even more disgusted.
Thinking of this, Gu Xihuai said, "I'll go chase him away!"
Chen Yuesheng seemed to know that he was in the spotlight and Gu Yuehuai might not be willing to see him. After thinking for a while, he added: "Gu Yuehuai! I want to talk to you about Tian Jing!"
Hearing this, Gu Xihuai paused and turned to look at Gu Yuehuai.
He also knew about what happened between Gu Yuehuai and Tian Jing, and the two seemed to have a blood feud.
Gu Yuehuai did not hesitate. He got up from the kang, lifted the curtain and walked out.
Chen Yuesheng was standing outside the yard, his face covered in bruises, and it was obvious that he had been beaten. The "murderer" could only be someone from Li Chaoying's in-laws' family. Unexpectedly, these two people had slept together so early.
As soon as Chen Yuesheng saw Gu Yuehuai, his eyes lit up, but when he thought about his current situation, he became depressed again.
His work style is problematic now and he has been criticized by the team. If he doesn't deal with the threatening Li Chaoying, he will probably be stripped of his title as the captain of the Sixth Production Team!
Such consequences were really unbearable for him, but giving up Gu Yuehuai and being with Li Chaoying made his heart ache like needles. So, after the meeting, the first thing he wanted to do was come here to see Gu Yuehuai, even if it was just for a look.
When Gu Yuehuai approached Chen Yuesheng, he saw someone pointing in this direction in the distance.
She asked bluntly, "What happened to Tian Jing?"
Although Chen Yuesheng already knew that Gu Yuehuai was more interested in Tian Jing than him, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that she didn't care about him and Widow Li at all. He said in a low voice: "Can't you just ask me?"
Gu Yuehuai just looked at him without saying anything, with a cold expression, as if he was looking at a stranger with no relationship to him.
Chen Yuesheng felt a little pricked in his heart, and glanced away and said: "Nothing happened between Li Chaoying and me. Yesterday she asked me to go..."
Gu Yuehuai looked a little impatient. She didn't want to hear about the affair between him and Widow Li, so she interrupted him and asked again, "What happened to Tian Jing?"
Chen Yuesheng gritted his teeth and suppressed the emotions surging in his chest: "Listen to me first."
He was already feeling depressed and wanted to find someone to talk to, but the person he wanted to talk to didn't want to listen at all.
"Widow Li asked me to go to the reed marsh yesterday, but I didn't go. But she said if I didn't go, she would come and knock on my door at night. I was afraid that things would get out of hand, so I went over, but when I got there, she had already..."
"I am innocent, there is nothing between her and me!"
When Chen Yuesheng said the last sentence, he almost growled.
Everything he said was true, but no one believed him. Widow Li insisted that he was the one who rolled around in the reed marsh with her. There was even a "witness" who said that he saw him and Widow Li rolling around together with his own eyes.
Now, no one would believe him.
God knows, he is really innocent!
Gu Yuehuai didn't want to listen at first, but after being forced to listen to the news, his eyes flickered slightly: "Witness? Is it Liu Er'er?"
Chen Yuesheng felt relieved when she spoke and nodded. "When I arrived yesterday, Widow Li suddenly started yelling and saying that I... forced her. Later, Liu Er'er came out to testify... but I really didn't!"
"In my heart, Widow Li is not as good as you! How could I possibly get along with her?"
As Chen Yuesheng spoke, he did not forget to express his loyalty.
Gu Yuehuai pretended not to hear and thought to himself that when the incident broke out in the previous life, Widow Li was already pregnant. Under pressure from public opinion, even though Chen Yuesheng loved Tian Jing deeply, he had to turn around and marry Li Chaoying.
But in this life, things suddenly happened earlier, and the only thing that remained the same was the witness.
Liu Er'er was short, fat and ugly-looking. He was nearly forty years old and had not yet married. As he had no strength, he was lazy when working in the fields, so the team assigned him the easiest job, herding pigs and cattle.
He worked for a long time and even gained a lot of experience in caring for pigs and cows. Whenever there was an accident with the pigs and cows in the surrounding area, they would come to ask him for help. Gradually, his reputation spread and outsiders would call him the "cattle herder."
