In Shi Yan's opinion, he didn't do anything and didn't need the Lin family's thanks.
Seeing that Shi Yan was unwilling to go, Lin Ran naturally would not give up easily. She immediately nodded in distress.
"Okay, since I'm too humble to invite Shi Zhiqing, I'll let my dad invite you."
As she said this, she pretended to go back and call Lin Weiguo.
Of course, she didn't say this casually. If she really didn't invite Shi Yan, Lin Weiguo would definitely come personally.
"That's not what I meant..."
As soon as Shi Yan saw Lin Ran lower his brows, he immediately surrendered.
He couldn't explain what was wrong with him. It seemed like he could never refuse Lin Ran.
However, he could only comfort himself in his heart that he compromised because he didn't want to trouble Lin Weiguo to make another trip.
…
The educated youth were amazed to see the two of them leaving together.
"When did Shi Zhiqing and Comrade Lin become so close?"
"Yes, I remember that the educated youth used to be very cautious with female comrades, including Comrade Lin. He even refused to accept the mushrooms when he heard that Comrade Lin had picked them. Now Comrade Lin has invited him to dinner, why doesn't he avoid suspicion?"
"That's nothing! I saw the educated youth giving candy to Comrade Lin before!"
"What? There's such a thing? When did this happen? Tell me more about it!"
“…”
The educated youths went back gossiping all the way.
The other team members who were passing by after work naturally saw the backs of this handsome man and beautiful woman walking together, and they talked about it a lot.
One jealous look in the crowd was particularly noticeable.
It was He Hua who came to work in place of Widow He.
She came back with a puffy face, and as soon as she got home she heard Widow He calling her.
"He Hua, you're back? Come and scratch my back, it's so itchy."
"What a curse! Why is my body itchy all of a sudden?"
"Even the barefoot doctor couldn't explain it. Could it be that I have leprosy?"
He Hua's small body was exhausted after a whole morning. Now she couldn't even lift her arms and just wanted to lie down on the bed and rest.
But when she heard Widow He's call, she had no choice but to say nothing and drag her heavy steps into the house to tickle Widow He.
Widow He was still muttering to herself, but soon she realized that there was something wrong with He Hua's unusual silence.
I could only endure the itching all over my body and ask:
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the fields?"
He Hua was already feeling uncomfortable, and when Widow He asked this, she sniffed and told him about Shi Yan going to Lin Ran's house for dinner.
"Mom, Shi Zhiqing is so close to Lin Ran, is he attracted to her?"
Widow He naturally felt uncomfortable when she heard this. Although she knew that there was no possibility between her and Shi Yan, how could she not have some feelings for such a handsome guy? Even if she just stayed with him for one night, it would be fine.
"That girl looks so seductive, she really knows how to seduce people."
The tone is sour.
"Don't worry about this. Wait until I'm better, then I'll think of a solution for you. Once you've scratched me, hurry up and cook. I'm starving."
But these words directly triggered He Hua's anger. You know, she had been enduring it for several days.
Widow He was itchy these past two days and couldn't do any work, so He Hua not only had to go to work for her, but also had to prepare food and drink for her. She was already exhausted.
She endured all of this, but when she thought about what happened that night, she couldn't bear it anymore.
She had originally wanted to wait until Widow He got better before discussing this matter, but now Widow He's attitude completely broke her down. She stopped immediately, her eyes red and she was hysterical:
"What can you think of? Are you going to go back to relying on Shi Zhiqing again? How could I have a mother like you!"
"You clearly knew that I liked Shi Zhiqing, yet you still went to seduce Shi Zhiqing!"
"I don't care if you like to fool around with men all day, but why do you have your sights set on Shi Zhiqing?!"
"How can you be so shameless!"
Widow He, who was lying on the bed, turned her head in surprise when she heard her daughter's accusation, as if she didn't expect her daughter to think of her so much.
It turned out that on the night when Widow He went to frame Lin Weiguo, He Hua was also hiding in the crowd.
She originally wanted to see with her own eyes the joke of Lin Ran's family, but unexpectedly what she saw was Widow He trying to rely on Shi Yan.
No one knew how she felt at the time. Her own mother actually had feelings for her lover.
This realization made her feel a little nauseous, and she actually vomited.
For the first time in her life, she felt that her mother was really disgusting.
Even though she had witnessed her mother moaning and groaning under other men before, she had never felt this way.
Widow He also wanted to explain:
"No, I didn't, He Hua. Mom was being plotted against. I really didn't seduce Shi Zhiqing."
"I clearly wanted to blame Lin Weiguo, but he pushed me down and knocked me unconscious. I really don't know anything about what happened afterwards."
"I don't know why Shi Zhiqing suddenly appeared here."
But He Hua didn't believe a word of it. She thought about what the team members said, and also about the last time at the reservoir, when her mother did say something rude about wanting Shi Zhiqing to press her breasts.
She couldn't help but sneer and asked:
"Can you guarantee that you don't have any dirty thoughts about Shi Zhiqing?"
Being stared at so directly by her own daughter, Widow He subconsciously avoided her gaze.
Of course she couldn't guarantee that, because she did have some unspeakable thoughts about Shi Yan.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Similarly, no one knows a mother better than her daughter.
He Hua could see through Widow He's guilty conscience at a glance. She looked a little crazy, as if she had grasped evidence.
"See, see, I was right, didn't I? How dare you explain to me just now!"
"As a mother, you actually covet your daughter's sweetheart. Do you have any shame?"
At this time, Widow He had turned over. She originally felt a little guilty towards her daughter, but after being humiliated by her daughter again and again, her patience was finally exhausted. She raised her hand in anger and slapped He Hua hard.
With a crisp sound, He Hua covered half of her cheek and looked at Widow He in disbelief.
"You actually hit me!"
"You are so shameless, and you won't allow me to say it? How dare you hit me?"
Widow He was just acting on impulse and regretted it as soon as the slap landed.
But when she heard He Hua's next words, she only regretted that she had not hit him lightly.
"Why can't I hit you? I'm your mother. I raised you, and this is how you repay me? Are you going crazy with your mother just for a man?"
"You are not my mother. I don't have a mother as shameless as you!"
He Hua couldn't hear anything at this moment. She just covered her face and ran away crying.
"Where have you been, you damn girl? The meal isn't even cooked yet!"
Widow He lay on the edge of the bed, leaning on her body and shouting out the door.
But no matter how she shouted, He Hua didn't look back and disappeared in a moment.
