Widow He glared at Lin Ran fiercely, her eyes almost spitting fire.
Lin Ran didn't care at all.
"Whatever you think, it was you who wanted to plot against my family first, so it's not unfair for He Hua to be arrested.
I just want to give you a chance to redeem yourself.
If you don't want it, I won't force you."
Widow He's expression gradually relaxed as she spoke.
Because what Lin Ran said was indeed correct. Neither she nor He Hua was wronged in this matter involving the Lin family.
So after thinking it through, Widow He was no longer opposed to Lin Ran's request.
But, she was worried about...
"How do I know if you're lying to me on purpose because you want revenge? What if you regret not saving He Hua after the fact?"
Lin Ran gave her a look that looked like she was stupid.
"Then you won't expose me?"
But Widow He was still worried.
"So what if I expose you? My family's reputation is ruined now. I guess no one will believe me even if I tell the truth."
"But as long as you say it, even if others don't believe it, it will still affect my reputation.
I'm not married yet, so I cherish my reputation. There's no need to ruin it because of He Hua. You're not worthy enough!"
What Lin Ran said was unpleasant, even harsh, but when it fell into Widow He's ears, it made her inexplicably relieved.
Because she felt that what Lin Ran said seemed to make sense.
Of course, the most important thing was that she suddenly remembered Lin Ran's age, and she had watched Lin Ran grow up, so she knew his temperament well.
How could such a little girl be so scheming?
So Widow He finally agreed.
And she had to agree even if she didn't want to.
Apart from this, she really couldn't think of any other way to save He Hua.
Before they parted, Widow He confirmed with Lin Ran for the last time.
"Do you really have a way to make them release He Hua?"
"Don't worry, my family is the victim. As long as we agree, He Hua will definitely be released."
Lin Ran nodded in assurance for the umpteenth time.
She had never intended to lie to Widow He about this matter.
What's the point of going to the farm for transformation?
It would be fun to let the dogs fight each other!
Looking at Widow He's leaving back, Lin Ran couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes full of coldness.
Since you have the guts to plot against your own family, you must be prepared to be punished!
"What is Comrade Lin looking at?"
Just when Lin Ran was lost in thought, Shi Yan's voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
She subconsciously turned her head and saw Shi Yan standing beside her, staring at her.
There was actually a hint of nervousness and tenderness in his black eyes.
"I didn't see anything."
Lin Ran looked forward holding the handkerchief, and only then realized that Widow He had already walked away.
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became cold.
Shi Yan opened his mouth and hesitated whether he should apologize for his previous recklessness.
Lin Ran felt that she couldn't stand this strange atmosphere and Shi Yan's burning gaze at all.
She clutched the handkerchief tightly and couldn't help but start looking for topics to talk about.
"Isn't Shi Zhiqing in the silkworm house? Why is he here?"
"There are no more mulberry leaves in the silkworm house. I'm going to go to the back mountain to pick some."
"Going to the back mountain to pick mulberry leaves? Are you sure?"
Lin Ran looked at their current location and found that it was indeed the fields in front of the brigade.
The mountain is behind the brigade, how could they pick mulberry leaves here?
"Sure."
Shi Yan nodded without changing his expression.
Lin Ran: “…”
Is it on the way to here from the back mountain?
However, Lin Ran did not expose him and just followed up with a sentence.
"Then go quickly, and don't let the silkworms go hungry."
Seeing Lin Ran's expression as if she couldn't wait for him to leave, Shi Yan pursed his lips, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and mustered up the courage to speak again.
"I heard the wild roses in the back mountain are in bloom. They're really beautiful. Comrade Lin, would you like to go see them?"
Lin Ran instinctively shook her head and refused.
"I still have to go to work, so I won't go."
As soon as these words were spoken, the disappointment in Shi Yan's dark eyes almost solidified into reality.
He finally couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"Are you deliberately avoiding me because of what I said that night?"
"Of course not."
Lin Ran subconsciously lowered her eyelids while speaking, not daring to look at Shi Yan, with a guilty look in her eyes.
She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Yan would say something that she couldn't handle and wouldn't be able to answer, so she quickly found an excuse to slip away.
"Shi Zhiqing, I still have work points to record, so I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, he didn't even give Shi Yan a chance to react and immediately trotted away.
She hasn't thought it through yet and doesn't want to discuss this issue with Shi Yan for the time being.
So I can only continue to hide.
Shi Yan looked at Lin Ran's leaving back, his outstretched hand froze in mid-air, but in the end he still failed to stop the person.
He could only remind himself again and again: Don't be impatient, don't be impatient!
When Shi Yan returned with the mulberry leaves, Lin Laosan was trying to walk by himself.
Seeing Shi Yan coming back, he shook his injured leg and said proudly:
"Brother Yan, do you think my leg is almost healed? I don't feel any pain when I walk now."
But suddenly he seemed to think of something, and he immediately lost his joy and sat down on the stool in frustration.
Shi Yan: “???”
Is it so unpredictable?
He seemed to suddenly understand Lin Ran's attitude towards him.
Over there, Lin Lao San was already wailing.
