Chapter 37 Li Ling and Li Yu
The next day, Zhang Shiye came to the educated youth center early and brought her breakfast, which included pumpkin millet porridge, egg pancakes, and shredded potatoes and pickles.
The morning sun shone through the curtains into the room. Xia Wanyang was lying on the bed when she heard a knock on the door. She walked to the door with her eyes closed, yawning and asking, "Who is it?" Her voice was still filled with sleepiness and the nasal sound of waking up early.
She slowly opened the door, and the person who appeared in front of her made her wake up instantly. Zhang Shiye was standing at the door with a bright smile on his face and looking at her gently.
Xia Wanyang's eyes widened, and she immediately realized how embarrassed she looked. She hurriedly tried to close the door, but it was too late. Zhang Shiye's hand pressed against the door, stopping her from moving.
"Wait a minute!" Xia Wanyang was a little flustered and quickly closed the door. Then, she hurriedly washed up. In less than a minute, she had packed everything and opened the door again, wearing neat clothes and combing her hair neatly.
She pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened, and asked Zhang Shiye with a smile: "Why did you come so early?"
Zhang Shiye signaled her with his eyes, "Send breakfast. I bled yesterday and need to replenish my body. The food at the educated youth camp is not nutritious."
Xia Wanyang's mouth twitched, "Come in!"
Zhang Shiye handed the basket in his hand to Xia Wanyang and said softly, "I have to go to work, so I won't go in. Just leave it there after you finish eating, no need to wash it. I'll bring it to you after I finish lunch at noon and pick up the basket on the way."
Xia Wanyang took the basket, glanced around, then quickly pecked Zhang Shiye on the face and whispered, "Thank you!"
The little rabbit on Zhang Shiye's chest was bumping around again, his ears turned red instantly, and his throat coughed unconsciously, "I made these dishes myself, I hope you like them." After he finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry as if he was scalded.
Xia Wanyang was shaking her head while eating in the house. She didn’t expect that this silly man’s cooking was so delicious. She would have a treat in the future!
Just after finishing her meal, she heard a knock on the door. Xia Wanyang quickly wiped her mouth, looked in the mirror and tidied her hair, then opened the door and said, "Why are you back again..." Before she could finish the word "back", she was startled by the person at the door.
Li Ling and Li Yu were standing at the door.
It turned out that last night, after being insulted, Li Ling went back to her parents' home after dinner and tried to persuade her sister to let it go, but Li Yu was crying and making a fuss and refused to listen.
There was no other way. Seeing Zhang Shiye’s firm attitude, Li Ling could only bring Li Yu to find Xia Wanyang.
Xia Wanyang frowned. How did these two people know to come here to find her?
"Who are you?"
Li Ling took Li Yu's hand and squeezed into the house while Xia Wanyang wasn't paying attention. "I'm Zhang Shiye's third sister-in-law, and this is my sister. I have something to talk to you about."
Xia Wanyang looked at the two people sitting on her kang in a familiar manner and immediately frowned, "What do you want from me?"
Li Ling looked Xia Wanyang up and down and said, "I heard that you and Shi Ye are dating?"
Xia Wanyang didn't say anything. Li Ling was not afraid of embarrassment and continued, "The fourth son of our family has no say in his marriage. My parents don't agree. On their behalf, I'm here to tell you that they want to find a girl they know well as their daughter-in-law. They've chosen my sister. You have to go back to the city in the future, right? There are so many good guys in your city. Don't hang yourself on this tree in my house!"
Xia Wanyang sneered and looked down at the two of them, "Okay, you two sit down first and wait for me."
Then he immediately closed the door and went out, locking it with a click.
Li Ling and Li Yu panicked in the house and knocked on the door hard, but unfortunately everyone had gone to work at this time and there was no one at the educated youth site.
The two sisters thought of countless answers, but they didn't expect Xia Wanyang to do it this way.
Xia Wanyang walked slowly to the field, came to Zhang Shiye's workstation and shouted, "Zhang Shiye~"
Zhang Shiye saw the little girl from a distance and immediately dropped the tools in his hands and ran towards her.
"Why are you here in the fields again? Didn't I tell you to rest well?" Zhang Shiye asked with a frown.
Xia Wanyang snorted, "Follow me."
Then he walked towards the educated youth point by himself. Zhang Shiye hurriedly followed him, "What's wrong? What happened?"
No matter how he asked, Xia Wanyang ignored him. The two of them returned to the educated youth camp one after the other. Xia Wanyang opened the door, pointed at the two people standing on the ground and said, "Zhang Shiye, your sister-in-law brought her sister to me and asked me to break up with you. She said that your parents have set their eyes on her sister as their daughter-in-law!"
Zhang Shiye's face turned dark in an instant, his eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze everything. He walked into the house step by step. Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the hearts of Li Ling and Li Yu, making their heartbeats more violently.
When Li Ling and her sister saw Zhang Shiye like this, they were so scared that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled involuntarily like fallen leaves in the wind. Li Ling held Li Yu's hand tightly, trying to seek a little comfort, but she herself could not control the fear in her heart.
Li Ling tried hard to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, and stammered, "Shi Ye, Shi Ye, Xia Zhiqing may have misunderstood. I really didn't mean that!" Her voice was obviously trembling, as if she wanted to explain something but didn't know where to start.
"Li Ling, you think I'm easy to talk to now that I've been the accountant of the brigade? You dare to trip me up behind my back? You're living a comfortable life now, right? I, Zhang Shiye, have no habit of not hitting women, don't you know that?"
Li Ling suddenly remembered when she first married into the Zhang family. At that time, she liked to be lazy. Her mother-in-law scolded her, and she started arguing with the old woman. She pushed her casually, and Zhang Shiye kicked her without saying a word. That kick made her lie on the kang for two weeks!
"No, no, no, Third Sister-in-law was wrong. I shouldn't have come to Xia Zhiqing to say such nonsense. Please forgive Third Sister-in-law this time. I will never dare to do it again next time!"
Zhang Shiye glanced coldly at Li Yu who was hiding behind him, "Have you ever heard the saying that a toad wants to eat swan flesh? This saying is not only applicable to women, but also to men. Go home and take a good look in the mirror. Wishful thinking is a disease and must be treated..."
After saying that, he turned to face Xia Wanyang, his deep eyes full of apology, "Yangyang, I'm sorry, I promise this is the last time, and such a disgusting thing will never happen again, please don't be angry, okay?"
Xia Wanyang raised her head slightly, looked at Zhang Shiye with a firm gaze, then took two steps forward gracefully and gently took his arm. Her fingers gently slid across the back of Zhang Shiye's hand, then gently held his palm and interlocked her fingers with his.
Xia Wanyang turned her gaze towards Li Ling and Li Yu with a proud smile on her face, "Give up on this idea. Zhang Shiye will be mine, Xia Wanyang's, for the rest of his life."
Li Yu started to cry. Li Ling looked at Zhang Shiye's contemptuous eyes and hurriedly pulled Li Yu away.
Zhang Shiye gently held Xia Wanyang in his arms and asked with a smile in his eyes: "Who is Zhang Shiye's in this life?"
Xia Wanyang pinched the flesh on his waist, but unfortunately she failed to move it. "I have completely offended your sister-in-law today. Will it affect the relationship between you and your brother?"
"No, she is her, and my third brother is my third brother."
Xia Wanyang was relieved, and the two hugged each other for a while, and then Zhang Shiye went back to work.
