"She does call me 'Sister Xiaoke' all the time, but that's just on the surface. She hasn't even given me a single piece of candy. Do you think we have a good relationship?" Tian Xiaoke was speechless. Was she implying that Tang Xiaoyun's disappearance was related to her?
Although she disliked Tang Xiaoyun's lingering feelings for Xia Minglei, she disliked Tang Xiaoyun's feigned affection for her and her attempts to break her and Xia Minglei up.
But she dared not do anything illegal, because if she were sent to a labor camp, she would lose everything, and then other women would really benefit from it.
Therefore, even in order to protect Xia Minglei, she would not allow herself to make a mistake.
"Minglei, Tang Xiaoyun hasn't shown up all morning. Do you know what's going on?" Tian Xiaoke asked worriedly when Xia Minglei arrived.
Xia Minglei frowned. "Why should we care about her? She's a grown woman, does she need someone else to worry about her?"
Seeing that Xia Minglei was quite impatient with Tang Xiaoyun, and knowing that he didn't like her, Tian Xiaoke felt relieved. "I'm just worried about her because she's your neighbor's sister. If something happens to her, won't her family blame you for it?"
"Never mind her, she's not a child anymore, she has to take responsibility for her actions." Xia Minglei said impatiently, then closed his eyes. Farm work was too tiring, and he couldn't take it anymore.
Seeing that Tian Xiaoke and Xia Minglei really didn't know anything about Tang Xiaoyun, Wang Caiyun stopped worrying. She wasn't familiar with Tang Xiaoyun, and whatever happened to Tang Xiaoyun had nothing to do with her.
With Tang Xiaoyun's matter resolved, Lin Yihui personally took Lin Jing to sign up for tree planting in the Northwest, as he was not comfortable leaving Lin Jing with Lin Yiwan again.
Although Tang Xiaoyun instigated this, doesn't he himself have a problem? If he didn't harbor evil thoughts, he wouldn't have been able to reach an agreement with others.
Lin Yihui not only took Lin Jing to register, but also personally saw Lin Jing off on the train, instructing his friend who worked on the train to keep an eye on Lin Jing the whole time and not let him escape.
Lin Yihui could only feel at ease after Lin Jing arrived in the Northwest and settled down there.
If Lin Jing were not an acquaintance but a stranger, he would have killed Lin Jing outright and would never have given him a chance to live.
That evening, not long after Wenxi and her colleagues returned home from work, there was a knock on the door. Wenxi went to open the door, puzzled, and saw Qian Qiusheng standing outside. Wenxi was speechless.
"Comrade Qian Qiusheng, what do you want to see me about? Hurry up and tell me so you can get to work in the fields sooner." He had just returned from a busy day and hadn't even had a chance to rest when he was called out. In addition, Wen Xi didn't have a good impression of Qian Qiusheng's family, so her tone was inevitably a bit unpleasant.
"Wenxi, my mom said that as long as you return our work points to our family, she will agree to let you marry me and move into our big house," Qian Qiusheng said confidently.
Although he lost everything and had no girlfriend, the fact that two women liked him showed that he was very outstanding. In addition, his family had a big house, so there were plenty of women willing to marry him. As long as Wenxi returned the work points to their family, he would give Wenxi the opportunity to marry into their family. After all, Wenxi was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
"Your family's work points were deducted by Captain Qian. If you're so capable, go find Captain Qian. Why are you coming to me?" Wen Xi was so angry that she laughed.
This man has absolutely no self-awareness. He's a fickle man who actually thinks that by sending her vegetables and firewood a few times, he can get her to marry him.
Fortunately, she refused each time; otherwise, she would have had a hard time extricating herself from the situation if her family had morally blackmailed her.
Qian Qiusheng, seemingly not understanding Wen Xi's meaning, said excitedly, "Wen Xi, you mean that as long as Captain Qian asks you to return the work points to us, you're willing to return them to our family? That's wonderful! My mom even said that your family doesn't need to provide a dowry, and of course, our family doesn't need to provide a bride price either..."
"Comrade Qian Qiusheng, how disgusting are you?" Wen Xi was no longer willing to be polite. "Go out and ask around. You won't give a single penny of dowry. See if anyone is willing to marry you. Also, who exactly gave you the illusion that I'm willing to marry you? Are you handsome or rich? You have no redeeming qualities at all, and you're fickle. You can be seduced by someone with just one glance. Do you think I'm stupid enough to fall for a piece of scum like you?"
“Which girl isn’t born of a mother and raised by her parents? They’ve worked so hard to raise their daughter, and you’re not even giving a penny of dowry, yet you want to just take her away? Go ask the people in the village, ask them if they’re willing.”
"You insulted the woman and her parents like this, you have no character at all, no wonder Chu Wan'er would rather choose an older man than marry you."
"Get out of here right now and don't show your face in front of me, or I won't just report it to the police, I'll report it to the county or the province. I want to ask the leaders how a man should be punished for deliberately harassing and framing others. If it implicates the brigade and your whole family gets kicked out of the brigade, don't blame me, because it's all your fault, Qian Qiusheng."
Wen Xi's words were very blunt, making Qian Qiusheng feel extremely embarrassed, his face turning as red as a pig's liver.
Wen Xi didn't give Qian Qiusheng a chance to speak again, pushing him directly into the courtyard with a loud 'bang,' blocking everyone's curious gaze. She had already used a kitchen knife in the cafeteria, but she didn't expect Qian Qiusheng to dare to come so close to her. Was he really not afraid of death? Or was he deliberately testing her bottom line?
When Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue saw Wen Xi come in, they came over to comfort her, "Xiao Xi, don't be angry. It's not worth getting sick over someone like that."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Wen Xi shrugged dismissively. She was an experienced woman; how could she be bullied by a country bumpkin?
You want to marry her?
Can you afford to marry him?
It's like a toad trying to eat swan meat!
As someone who's been through it all, how could she not tell who genuinely likes her?
All they want is to marry a wife to serve them and carry on their family line, right? But they're insatiable. They want to marry a wife, and they want a beautiful and rich one from the city. The key question is, do they even deserve her?
It doesn't matter if the conditions don't match, but at the very least you should be a kind, good-hearted, and sincere person. They have neither the conditions nor the sincerity, and they have no character. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she won't cherish her if she marries them.
Even if Wen Xi didn't have He Chen'an, she wouldn't marry a fickle person like Qian Qiusheng. He didn't cherish his fiancée and cheated on her with Chu Wan'er. It's no wonder he can't find a wife.
