To thank Guan Wenru, Che Wang and Lü Amei really went all out today.
They thawed the little beef and mutton they had left and cooked a table full of hearty dishes.
Seeing this table full of dishes, Guan Wenru couldn't help but feel glad that she had brought a lot of beef jerky.
The meat on the table is probably all the Che family has in stock.
After this meal, the Che family will probably not have any meat to eat for a long time to come.
As soon as they sat down, Che Wang and Lü Amei hurriedly greeted Guan Wenru, "Little Guan, eat up, don't be shy, make yourself at home."
Che Xiaoni quickly handed the chopsticks to Guan Wenru, saying, "Wenru, if you're friends, eat as much as you want."
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "Alright, then I won't be polite."
Despite saying that, she still rarely picked up meat when eating.
She has plenty of meat to eat, so she thought that if she ate less, the Che family could eat more.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat together to drink milk tea and chat.
The milk tea here is salty, and even though Guan Wenru had drunk it countless times in her past life, she still didn't like the taste.
However, she still drank several bowls to be polite.
Lu Amei took out the pumpkin seeds she had traded with someone a few days ago. "Come on, Xiao Guan, try these. These are the pumpkin seeds the team distributed this year. They smell really good when roasted!"
Guan Wenru reached out and took it, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Don't be so polite, child. Luckily you showed up in time that day, otherwise my Xiaoni would have suffered a lot. Auntie is truly grateful to you."
When the topic of that day came up, Guan Wenru thought for a moment and then asked, "Was that person dealt with?"
Che Xiaoni suddenly snorted, slightly indignant, "He got off easy. My brother had already sent him to the commune's social security group. Logically speaking, his hooliganism was a serious offense, and he should have been paraded through the streets with a placard and then sent to a labor camp."
But we beat him too badly that day. After my brother took him away, we broke his ribs. He turned around and tried to extort money from us. Plus, his family tried to morally blackmail my father by using the debt of saving his life years ago. This matter dragged on for several days. In the end, the people from the commune told us to reconcile, the marriage was called off, and neither side would pursue the matter further.
"..." Guan Wenru frowned. "Are we just going to let him go like that?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Che Zhenxing's eyes. "There's nothing we can do. Li Daming's uncle is a minor leader in the commune. If we insist on pursuing this, we won't get any benefit."
I see!
Guan Wenru pursed her lips slightly. If Li Daming's uncle was a leader of the commune, then the Che family really couldn't go too far, otherwise they would be harassed by the commune leaders.
A higher-ranking official can crush you!
That's just how society is!
Che Xiaoni seemed to have let it go as well. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, what's done is done. No matter what, the marriage is off, and I've gotten what I wanted. As for that scumbag, I believe he'll be punished by heaven!"
Her father was the head of the Dahewan production brigade. If her family offended the commune leaders...
The commune leaders will definitely find an excuse to make things difficult for their Dahewan production brigade.
When that happens, the herdsmen in the production brigade will definitely blame their family.
Therefore, for the sake of her parents and brother, and for the sake of the entire production brigade, she had no choice but to accept her fate.
Guan Wenru didn't think the matter was over. She took a sip of her milk tea and secretly glanced at Che Zhenxing.
In his previous life, Che Zhenxing died young without ever getting married and having children.
His death... is probably related to Li Daming.
Li Daming had his ribs broken, but he's been released and sent home. Given his personality, he certainly won't let this go easily.
After thinking for a moment, she looked up at Che Zhenxing and reminded him, "Li Daming wasn't sent to a labor camp. He might come back to cause trouble after he recovers from his injuries, so you still need to be careful."
Che Zhenxing thought so too, and he nodded, "Yes, I will try my best to avoid all dangers."
This is a heavy topic, and continuing to discuss it will only make everyone feel bad.
Che Xiaoni seemed to have thought of something, and with a smile, she changed the subject, "Wenru, would you like to ride a horse and explore the area around here?"
The scenery here is quite beautiful. If you're physically fit, we can ride horses for over two hours to a more distant area to see the diverse Danxia landforms.
It was only noon, and Guan Wenru thought for a moment and nodded, "I want to see the Danxia landform."
In her previous life, after she got older, she no longer had the energy to travel, nor did she ever return to Gansu Province.
For her, it had been more than a decade since she had last seen the Rainbow Mountains.
Although riding a horse for more than two hours would be tiring, she is young, energetic, and capable of taking risks.
After making the decision, Che Zhenxing immediately went to borrow a spirited horse from the brigade.
The three of them packed some food and drinks and set off quickly.
Three fine horses galloped along the winding path with light, quick steps.
To make the journey faster, they made the horses run for more than thirty minutes.
Che Zhenxing noticed that Guan Wenru was sweating, so he quickly told them to stop. "There's a stream nearby, let the horses drink some water before we go on."
Che Xiaoni nodded, "Okay, Wenru, let's take a break too."
Guan Wenru smiled; she knew the brother and sister were doing this to take care of her.
Although she has been riding horses these days, she has never run this far at such a fast pace. Her thighs are slightly sore from the chafing, and she needs to rest for a while.
But in order to get back to the production brigade before sunset, they couldn't rest for too long and set off again after ten minutes.
They would run for about thirty minutes and then rest.
After going back and forth several times, Che Xiaoni felt tired.
When they rested again, she frowned slightly. "Brother, why aren't we there yet? Did we take the wrong path today?"
