Chapter 20
Wu Min is the heroine after all, so she does have some brains.
She could tell that Li Shan was not joking with her.
If I really don't pay back the money, he might actually go to the police and sue me.
By that time, I might really not be able to go to college.
Going to college is the only way for me to escape from this mountain village and return to the city.
Wu Min didn't dare to gamble.
She looked at the group of educated youth around her who were not only watching the fun but also whispering to each other.
Feeling angry.
I called them over because I was thinking of breaking up with Li Shan. In case Li Shan gets angry and wants to harm me, there will be someone around to help him.
But now, Wu Min feels like he has shot himself in the foot.
In front of so many people, Wu Min really couldn't bring herself to say anything softly to Li Shan.
Forget it, I'll give him the money first to calm him down, and then I'll go and coax him after a few days.
Li Shan loves me so much, if I just lower myself, he will probably listen to me like before, right?
By then, not to mention the money for schooling, even the bracelet will be back in my hands.
After figuring it out, Wu Min raised her head and looked at Li Shan with disappointment, as if Li Shan was being unreasonable. "Li Shan, how could you become like this? I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back. I know your family's situation, so how could you swallow this money and not pay it back?"
At this point, Wu Min showed a miserable smile: "I didn't expect that I was such a person in your heart. Well, then I will return the money to you."
After Wu Min finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Li Ningyun's reaction, and saw an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Wu Min shut her mouth in embarrassment. She felt embarrassed as if Li Shan had seen through her.
Wu Min didn't dare to say anything more. She took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom, opened it, counted out 188 yuan from it, and handed it to Li Shan: "I'll return your money. From now on, we owe each other nothing!"
After Wu Min finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. Before turning around, she gave Li Ningyun a look that seemed both sad and resentful.
Li Ningyun was so frightened that she shuddered.
The group of educated youth who were watching the fun saw that one of the protagonists had left.
Only then did he walk towards the educated youth site with a sense of reluctance.
As they walked, they were still discussing in low voices: "This Li Shan is really pitiful. He has been with Wu Min for three years, giving her money and effort, and now this educated youth Wu has been admitted to university and is going back to the city."
"Who says it's not true? When Wu Zhiqing first came to the countryside, Li Shan fell in love with her. He always followed her around and asked about her well-being. He finally managed to coax her into marriage, but before they even got married, she ran away."
"It's no wonder Wu Min ran away. What good could there be in this poor mountain village? Wu, the educated youth, is capable and could even get into university. Why would she marry a farmer who scrapes for food in the dirt?"
"What you said is interesting. Why didn't you despise Li Shan when you asked him to help you with the work? Why didn't you despise him when you took his things and spent his money? Oh, now that you've been admitted to university, you despise him for being incompetent?"
"That's right, she really eats with the bowl in her hand and curses when she puts it down. She gets all the good things."
"Hey, hey, hey, no, what does this have to do with me? I'm just expressing my personal opinion, why are you targeting me?!"
"I'm not targeting you. I'm just saying that Wu Min hit the cook after eating. This behavior is a bit shameful."
…………
The heroine Wu Min, 23 years old this year, is an educated youth from Hongcheng.
When Li Shan and his father, the team leader of Qishan Village, were responsible for picking up the educated youth, they took a liking to Wu Min at first sight.
Wu Min has a pure appearance, with black hair divided into two parts and tied with a handkerchief.
When she looks at people, she is delicate and timid, and her eyes seem to contain a pool of spring water.
The original owner was stunned after just one look.
The captain felt that his son was embarrassing and kicked him.
This brought the original owner back to his senses.
Li Shan's face flushed as he stepped forward to help Wu Min with her luggage: "I... let me help you with it."
Wu Min looked down on Li Shan in her heart, but she also knew that she would have to live here in the future and could not just do what she wanted.
She smiled softly at Li Shan and said, "Thank you, Brother Li Shan, but it's a bit heavy, I'd better carry it myself."
Li Shan was so stimulated by Wu Min's words "Brother Li Shan" that he almost floated away.
His face flushed as he said, "How can I let a girl like you carry such heavy luggage? I'll do it."
That's how the two of them got to know each other.
Wu Min also felt Li Shan's unique attitude towards her.
She started chatting with Li Shan in various ways.
"Wow, Dashan is so awesome."
"Brother Dashan, you are so strong! You haven't walked for such a long time, and you are not tired at all? Alas, I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't do heavy work."
Blah blah, and we walked all the way back to Qishan Village.
It was from this time that Li Shan remembered that Wu Min was weak and needed more care.
So after Li Shan finished the work assigned to him, he would go to help Wu Min do hers.
Whenever Li Shan made something delicious at home, he would always send a portion to Wu Min.
Li Shan's parents thought that the two were already dating, after all, that's what Li Shan said, so they turned a blind eye.
We all think that we will be a family in the future, so we should take care of each other if we can. It is not easy for a girl to be alone outside.
In this way, the two of them lived together in a confused state for three years.
When Li Shan's parents felt that it was not a good idea to continue dragging it on like this, they asked Li Shan if he had any plans for Wu Min.
After all, in the past few years, the old couple have also realized that their silly boy is a fool when it comes to Wu Min.
Nothing!
Li Shan was also anxious. He had asked Wu Min when she planned to get married in the past few years, but Wu Min always fooled him with a few words.
Li Shan once again asked Wu Min when she planned to get married.
She said to Li Shan with some guilt, "Brother Dashan, I know you treat me well. I told my family about getting married some time ago, but my mother wrote to me and asked me to give her 188 yuan as a betrothal gift, otherwise she wouldn't let me get married. I...what should I do..."
After Wu Min finished speaking, tears fell from her eyes: "Wow, wow, brother Dashan, I know you are a good person, and I also know your family situation. Your brother just got married a few years ago, and now the family doesn't have that much money. How can I still open my mouth to tell you about this?"
Wu Min was a little flustered. She didn't want to marry Li Shan in this mountain valley.
That means she will have to stay here for the rest of her life.
She dreams of going to the city.
But there is no chance to return to the city now.
But if she breaks up with Li Shan, she knows that her future life will be miserable.
So Wu Min came up with this idea, saying that Li Shan couldn't afford the bride price right now, and the number couldn't be too high. Wu Min was afraid that Li Shan would be scared away because she asked for too high a price.
In that case, what if Li Shan no longer helps me with the work?
But it can't be too low. If he borrows it from someone, won't I have to marry him?
So Wu Min thought about it and felt that a betrothal gift of 188 yuan was appropriate.
One reason is that Li Shan’s eldest brother had just been married for less than a year. Li Shan had told him before that his family gave his eldest sister-in-law a betrothal gift of 88 yuan, and his eldest brother built a separate house when he got married. In this case, their family should not have much money left.
If I marry him, I will need to build a new house.
That would be another considerable expense.
By this calculation, building a house and the betrothal gift will cost at least 700 yuan.
Sigh... let's just delay it for as long as possible.
This is what Wu Min thought.
But Li Shan was determined to marry her.
Li Shan knew the situation of his family.
So I didn’t tell my parents about this.
He secretly went to the black market and started speculating and profiteering.
He was careful and was not discovered.
After struggling for half a year, I only made more than 800 yuan.
After giving Wu Min 188 yuan as a betrothal gift, the two got engaged and started building a house.
Wu Min was at a loss, and just when she was getting anxious, the country resumed the college entrance examination.
Taking advantage of the time when Li Shan was preparing to build the house, Wu Min secretly signed up.
A month and a half later, Wu Min secretly went to the county town to take the exam.
Li Shan's house was built and he was happily preparing for his wedding.
Wu Min's admission letter came.
Then there was the scene where Li Ningyun came here.
Wu Min found Li Shan and told him about their breakup.
The original owner, Li Shan, felt like a bolt from the blue.
But he still couldn't bear to ruin the future of his beloved.
So even though I was reluctant, I still agreed to break up.
But in Li Shan's heart, although the two broke up, Wu Min is still his sweetheart.
So he did not ask for the 188 yuan and the heirloom back.
Wu Min left the small mountain village with the money and the bracelet.
While she was studying at Hongcheng Normal University, her family introduced her to a blind date.
The man is the son of the director of Hongcheng Textile Factory.
The conditions are particularly good and the other party also likes Wu Min very much.
She is good-looking and a college student, so she can become a teacher directly after graduation.
The two were very satisfied with each other and became boyfriend and girlfriend directly.
Because Wu Min was still studying, the two of them were not in a hurry to get a marriage certificate.
But both of them did the whole thing secretly, both what they should and shouldn't do.
Two years later, Wu Min accidentally discovered that Zhang Ke had another woman outside.
How could the proud and arrogant Wu Min tolerate this?
So naturally, the two of them had a quarrel.
A few days after the two broke up, word spread around the school that Wu Min had problems with her conduct.
If it happened earlier and there were problems with work style, he would be arrested and sent to jail.
However, because of this incident, Wu Min was expelled from school.
But even if he was not expelled, Wu Min would not be able to stay in school.
Because wherever you go, people will point fingers at you.
Wu Min returned home, but her parents and brother disliked her for letting the family down and kicked her out.
Wu Min came to a stone bridge with no other options. A few days ago, she always felt that something was wrong with her body and her period had not come for a long time. She went to the hospital quietly and found out that she was pregnant. She didn't know what to do next.
Wu Min felt that the whole world was dark. With no other options left, he sat down under a stone bridge and committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
Then a magical scene appeared.
Wu Min was seen wearing the bracelet that Li Shan had given him on his right hand. The bracelet absorbed the blood from his wrist cut and then suddenly disappeared.
Then a bracelet pattern mark appeared on the inside of Wu Min's wrist.
The wound where Wu Min had just cut her wrist healed miraculously!
Wu Min was stunned. What was going on?
She carefully touched the pattern on the bracelet with her left hand.
A suction force came from the pattern.
Before Wu Min could react, she was sucked in.
When Wu Min opened his eyes, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.
There is a field of more than ten acres, in which corn is planted that is about to mature.
Across the field, a small river about two meters wide flows slowly.
On the other side of the stream is a dense forest.
At this moment, Wu Min was standing in front of the door of a thatched hut.
Wu Min looked at this unfamiliar environment and felt a little overwhelmed.
She didn't know where she was.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, she subconsciously shouted towards the thatched hut, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"
But no one responded to her.
Wu Min carefully pushed open the wooden door of the thatched hut.
There was a wooden bed, a table, a chair, and some simple daily necessities inside.
She shouted to the air in fear, "Is there anyone here? Can anyone tell me where this is? How do I get out?"
Then the next second, Wu Min appeared under the stone bridge where he was before.
Wu Min was a little dazed, feeling that everything was like a dream.
Wu Min just sat on the rock, staring blankly at the sky.
As night fell, she still had nowhere to go.
At this time, Wu Min remembered the thatched hut again.
As the thought came to his mind, Wu Min appeared in front of the thatched hut again the next moment.
Wu Min: …???
She was sleepy and tired, and didn't care about anything else, so she just lay down on the wooden bed and fell asleep.
Wu Min stayed in this thatched hut for several days. When she was hungry, she would go to the cornfield to pick a few cobs of corn and cook them. When she was thirsty, she would go to the river to fetch a bucket of water and boil it to drink.
Fortunately, the thatched house is fully equipped with such living utensils.
That's why Wu Min stayed here for so many days without starving to death.
Wu Min stayed here for a few days, and after thinking it through thoroughly, she decided to go back to Qishan Village to find Li Shan.
She could no longer stay in Hongcheng and the school expelled her.
The only way out now is to find Li Shan. It was only when she saw the bracelet when she cut her wrists two days ago that she remembered Li Shan.
Wu Min had never thought about what she would do if Li Shan was already married.
She also never thought that even if Li Shan was not married and she was pregnant with someone else's child, would Li Shan still be willing to accept her like this?
She just took it for granted that by going to Li Shan, she was giving Li Shan a chance to get her, and he would definitely be happy to accept her, including the child in her belly.
Of course, things turned out just as Wu Min had imagined.
