Shen Ruyi continued, "Then, about three or four months later, she got together with Lai Zi, and then she jumped into the river."
"Sister Ruyi, haven't you ever suspected that there was something fishy about her death? Perhaps she was threatened by Lai Chunming, and that her later relationship with Lai Zi was a setup?"
Shen Ruyi thought for a moment, "Jingyan, it would be a lie to say that we don't have any doubts. Huifang and I discussed this matter privately before, and we both felt that it was related to Lai Chunming. Other educated youth probably thought the same way, but no one dared to say it out loud."
After all, speaking out wouldn't do me any good. Everyone keeping quiet would actually create a peaceful living environment. Ziyue is dead. We're all educated youth; she wasn't anyone important here. No one will investigate the real cause of her death, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't find anything, which would only disrupt their peaceful lives. Besides, who can she blame for ending up in that situation? The people at the educated youth settlement bear no responsibility; it's her own fault. Even if she had her reasons, it's her fault for not trying to save herself, or perhaps she simply didn't want to. Jingyan, do you understand what I'm saying?"
Luo Jingyan nodded, indicating that she understood: "Sister Ruyi, I just wanted to chat with you casually. After all, we are all outsiders, and it is certainly better not to interfere in some things, but that doesn't stop us from chatting privately."
"Yes, I also like to chat with people when I'm bored, but we old educated youth don't usually talk about these things. Today it's just that I'm alone with you. If we were in the dormitory over there, I definitely wouldn't say anything."
“I understand.”
Black Tiger nestled lazily beside Luo Jingyan; Shen Ruyi had long wanted to hug Luo Jingyan's chubby cat.
"Jingyan, can I hug your cat?"
Luo Jingyan had no objections; it was up to Hei Hu to decide.
Black Tiger, would you like this older sister to hug you?
【OK. 】
"Sister Ruyi, you can hold it. It's very gentle and won't scratch or bite."
This time, Shen Ruyi reached out and hugged the black tiger, placing it on her lap and gently stroking its incredibly smooth fur.
Her movements were quite gentle, and the black tiger lazily half-closed its eyes, showing no resistance, but it felt very uncomfortable inside.
Compared to being held by other women, it prefers being held by its owner.
Hmm, there's also a feeling that the cat's body has been defiled.
It was its master's cat in life, and it died as its master's dead cat.
After Shen Ruyi left, Black Tiger immediately jumped to Luo Jingyan's side, raised its fluffy little head, and pitifully asked its owner for a hug.
Luo Jingyan put down the half-finished sweater she was knitting, reached out and picked it up onto her lap, gently stroking its fur.
Petting a cat not only makes the kitten feel good, but it also makes you feel good.
After closing the door and drawing the curtains, Luo Jingyan immediately went into the space, took a comfortable hot bath, and then washed Black Tiger as well. After wiping its body with a towel, she used a hairdryer to dry the moisture remaining on its fur.
Black Tiger enjoyed its owner's meticulous care and felt that it had reached the pinnacle of its feline life.
After taking care of the kittens, she went to the chicken coop to check on the chicks, worried that they might be constipated. Fortunately, she fed the chicks spring water, and they were all lively and energetic. She then fed them some soaked millet.
She discovered she wasn't using enough laundry detergent, so she planned to go to the county town's supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy some more and sell some goods along the way.
As for what to sell, she no longer wants to sell low-value-added grains directly. She has a skill, and making and selling pastries will definitely earn her more than selling primary agricultural products such as grains directly.
Although her space contains a thousand acres of farmland, only about one-fifth of it is used for growing grains. Compared to grains, the restaurant needs vegetables more, so fifty percent of the land is used to grow various vegetables, and the rest is used for growing fruits and spices.
She used her mind to command the combine harvester to harvest all the grain and store it in the warehouse. She took out ten catties of mung beans and decided to make mung bean cakes first. After soaking the mung beans in water, she went to bed.
The next day, I got up early to make mung bean cakes. First, I steamed the soaked mung beans, peeled and mashed them, added an appropriate amount of glutinous rice flour and sugar, and pressed them into pretty shapes with molds. In just two hours, I made about 20 kilograms of mung bean cakes.
Her favorite thing is cooking. She doesn't find it tiring to get up early to make mung bean cakes. Instead, she feels very happy, as if she has returned to the time when she was a chef in her previous life.
Recalling the excitement she felt when she first learned to cook, she thought cooking was the happiest thing in her life in her past life.
After breakfast, she set off and met Song Yinglan while riding in an oxcart. The two exchanged brief greetings.
At the same time, Song Yinglan took the initiative to greet a woman holding a child sitting on the oxcart: "Qin Zhiqing, are you and your family of three going to the county town too?"
The woman referred to as Qin Zhiqing was named Qin Yumei. She glanced at Song Yinglan indifferently and gave a soft "hmm".
Sitting next to her was a man whose appearance was completely at odds with hers; he was her husband, Wu Shunlai, a member of the Shengli Brigade.
The child in Qin Yumei's arms was quite good-looking.
Qin Yumei asked Song Yinglan, "What are you going to the county town for?"
Song Yinglan's expression was a little unnatural: "We're out of shampoo powder, let's go to the county town to buy some."
Qin Yumei's eyes flickered, as if she noticed something was off about Song Yinglan's expression. She didn't delve into it, and then chatted casually with Song Yinglan for a few minutes.
Song Yinglan, trying to make conversation, introduced Luo Jingyan to her.
Qin Yumei was immediately stunned by Luo Jingyan's appearance. She also secretly felt sorry for her, thinking that she must have been targeted by someone. She wondered if the other party had succeeded and what the final outcome would be.
After the oxcart arrived in the county town, the people on it went their separate ways. Luo Jingyan went to the supply and marketing cooperative first, Qin Yumei and Wu Shunlai headed in another direction, while Song Yinglan did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative and it was unknown where she was going.
Luo Jingyan didn't care where others were going; she just did her own thing.
After buying laundry detergent at the supply and marketing cooperative, I prepared to go to the family compound.
The supply and marketing cooperative was not far from the county committee, and by sheer coincidence, she saw Lai Chunming riding his bicycle out of it.
When Lai Chunming saw her, a triumphant smile appeared on his face. Only after confirming that there were no familiar faces around did he stop the car.
