Luo Jingyan said, "It's just some clothes and daily necessities, nothing fancy."
Luo Jingyan took out Luo Changtian's clothes from inside, threw the rest into the closet, and locked it.
Song Yinglan's face turned slightly cold, and then she started talking to Luo Jingyan.
"Jingyan, you've taken such good care of yourself, your skin is so fair and tender. Your parents must be heartbroken for you. How could they bear to send you to the countryside? And your younger brother is so young, why did he come here too? Can he handle the hardships of farming?"
Luo Jingyan remained calm; she had anticipated this question and had prepared her answer in advance.
"Didn't Song, the educated youth, know the current policy that every household, except for families with only one child, must send one person to the countryside? As for my brother, he just thought the countryside was fun and insisted on coming with me."
"Oh, is that so?"
Song Yinglan thought of her brother. It was pitiful that she had gone to the countryside in his place, while he was just there to have fun.
Luo Jingyan calculated the time. Currently, the teachers and students at the school are on holiday for the autumn harvest. She would arrange for Luo Changtian to return to school after the autumn harvest.
She went to the kitchen to get some water to wash her face, but Zhao Wensong stood behind her.
"Jing, Jingyan."
"Just call me Luo Zhiqing. Calling me by my name makes me sick."
"Alright then, I'll call you Luo Zhiqing," Zhao Wensong said. "Jing, Luo Zhiqing, I have something I want to tell you."
Luo Jingyan turned around: "What is it?"
“Luo Zhiqing, I know you have a problem with me, but listen to me, I really didn’t mean it before. I was doing it for your own good. I wanted to coax Li Hongying and get her uncle to release Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo. It’s all my fault for not explaining to you back then, which caused you to misunderstand me. Now that we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding, let’s continue our marriage agreement as before, okay?”
Luo Jingyan was almost sick of hearing it: "Keep making things up. Zhao Wensong, you're really talented. You're so good at making up stories, it's a pity you're not writing books. You can fool Li Hongying with your sweet talk, but you can't fool me."
"Jingyan, I didn't lie to you, everything I said is true."
"Alright, alright." Luo Jingyan waved her hand: "If you just want to talk nonsense to me, I don't have time to listen to your rambling."
Zhao Wensong hadn't expected Luo Jingyan to be so hard to please. If someone like her became an enemy, it would definitely be very disadvantageous for him. But if she became his woman, it would be much more advantageous for him. Obviously, the second option was unattainable, so he had no choice but to change his mind.
“Luo, you’re an educated youth. Listen to me. Even if we can’t go back to the way things were, can’t we live together peacefully? We’re both educated youth sent to the countryside now, and we’ll be living in the same courtyard. We’ll see each other all the time. Why don’t we put aside our past grievances and help each other like the other educated youth? Isn’t it better to be friends than enemies?”
Luo Jingyan said, "Zhao, it's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. But I've already seen your true colors, so it's impossible for us to be friends anymore. From now on, we'll keep to ourselves. You are you, and I am me. We have no other relationship except that we are both educated youth. Let's just treat each other as strangers. I don't want to talk to you."
Zhao Wensong thought for a moment and could only nod in agreement: "Okay, we'll do as you say."
After saying that, Luo Jingyan carried the basin of water into the house.
A short while later, Luo Changtian ran in excitedly: "Sister, let's go play in the mountains! I really want to go for a walk in the mountains. I heard from the educated youth brothers there that there are lots of good things in the mountains."
"There are tigers and other wild animals in the mountains, aren't you afraid?" Luo Jingyan tried to scare him.
"Sister, let's not go too deep into the mountains. Let's just stay outside. Sister, I really want to see the mountains. I want to go play in the mountains."
Playing is a child's nature. Luo Changtian is only twelve years old and is curious about many things.
"Okay, let's go together."
Sun Tiantian said, "I also want to go for a walk on the mountain. The autumn harvest is tomorrow, and if we don't go soon, all the leaves on the trees will fall off."
Liu Huifang said, "You know that the autumn harvest is tomorrow, but instead of resting properly, you're running around everywhere. You won't be able to handle it when the harvest starts."
