Chapter 170 Things Have Changed
Liu Xian and Zheng Haiyang were left in the yard by Tong Liqun.
The aroma of meat wafting from the house filled the air.
Thunder rumbled in both of their stomachs.
There was no way around it; that stewed goose in an iron pot was just too delicious.
For people like them who haven't had meat or oily food for a long time, just the smell of it makes their stomachs ache.
Staying any longer would be absolute torture for them.
"Brother Zheng, are we really going to go to the county town to buy the materials?" Liu Xian asked somewhat reluctantly.
That's true; who would want to pay for something they can get for free?
"Xu Yirou simply refuses to lend us the money, what can we do? Don't forget, she now has Secretary Tong and the others as her backers, would you still dare to lay a hand on her?"
Zheng Haiyang said irritably.
"I..." Liu Xian immediately deflated.
"No matter what, we absolutely have to buy these review materials." Zheng Haiyang looked at the dilapidated houses around him. He really couldn't stand staying in this Eight Trees Village for even a day longer.
He missed his hometown, his books, and everything in the city.
Looking at Zheng Haiyang's determined expression, Liu Xian's eyes reddened: "But, but I really have no money left."
As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at Zheng Haiyang's sleeve, her voice soft and gentle: "Brother Zheng, I really want to accompany you all the way, no matter where you are, I want to stay by your side."
Zheng Haiyang, who had been holding back his anger at Tong Liqun's house, felt his anger dissipate considerably after hearing Liu Xian's gentle and sweet words.
Looking at Liu Xian's gentle and obedient appearance, he raised his hand and patted her head, saying, "How could I let you spend money on materials again? Just wait at home tomorrow! I'll go to the county town by myself, which will save me the cost of another person's transportation."
The bus fare to the county town is so expensive! Since one person can do it, why spend extra money?
Early the next morning, Zheng Haiyang boarded Tong Deliang's oxcart alone and headed to town.
The bus from the town to the county seat leaves very early; if you're late, you might miss it.
Liu Xian gently and considerately saw Zheng Haiyang off. Thinking that she didn't have to work this morning, she was just about to sleep in when she heard a knock on her door.
She impatiently opened the door and saw Xia Yi's face, which had been beaten into a pig's head, standing in front of her.
Liu Xian was startled. If it weren't for the bright daylight, she would have thought she was seeing a ghost. She immediately asked in an annoyed tone, "Xia Yi, what are you doing here?"
Xia Yi gritted her teeth and glared at Liu Xian, her voice sinister: "I saw everything just now!"
Hearing her say that, Liu Xian was stunned, clearly not understanding what she meant.
Xia Yi continued, "Liu Xian, how can you be a good friend like this? You actually seduced Zheng Haiyang behind my back, you knew he was mine..."
Liu Xian scoffed, looking at her with a mocking gaze, her voice full of malice: "What is he to you? Xia Yi, don't forget your current status, you're Tong Yaozu's wife! Do you really want to keep clinging to Brother Zheng? Aren't you afraid Tong Yaozu will find out…"
As she spoke, Liu Xian's obviously gloating gaze slowly swept over the red and swollen areas on Xia Yi's body.
These wounds are clearly from being punched.
That Tong Yaozu really has the guts to do that!
"You... even so, how could you..."
Xia Yi's body trembled, whether from anger or pain, it was hard to tell.
She originally wanted to come and see if Liu Xian and Zheng Haiyang had any study materials for her to borrow.
Now, having left the Tong family and Bakushu Village, and returned to the city, their only hope is to pass the college entrance examination.
But to her surprise, when she arrived early in the morning, she saw Liu Xian nestled in Zheng Haiyang's arms, bidding him a warm farewell.
These two people, one was her best friend, and the other was her lover. How could they betray her?
Why can't I?
Liu Xian looked at her with a reproachful expression: "Don't tell me you haven't given up on Brother Zheng yet? Don't forget, you're already a member of the Tong family."
Xia Yi's face turned pale. This identity was a disgrace to her, a fact she was unwilling to accept.
"I……"
Liu Xian looked at Xia Yi with a sinister gaze, her eyes filled with resentment and malice.
At school, her grades were not as good as Xia Yi's, and she lived a very cautious life in a family with many sisters.
Xia Yi, although her family was not well-off, was an only daughter, so her life was much better than Liu Xian's.
This made Liu Xian feel extremely unbalanced.
Actually, Xia Yi didn't have to come to the countryside. Although there was a quota for Xia Yi's family to go to the countryside.
However, Xia Yi's parents actually planned to borrow money to buy her a job so that she could avoid going to the countryside.
It was Liu Xian who, through Zheng Haiyang's words, encouraged Xia Yi to accompany Zheng Haiyang to the countryside.
Otherwise, if they are separated by distance, their relationship will have no future.
Xia Yi became frightened after Liu Xian said that.
They volunteered to go to the countryside.
Xia Yi's brother and sister-in-law were reluctant to spend money to buy her a job, so when they heard Xia Yi say this, they immediately stopped Xia Yi's parents.
This led to the three of them going to the countryside together.
Now, seeing Xia Yi, who used to be living a better life than her, living such a miserable life after marrying Tong Yaozu, Liu Xian finally felt satisfied with the imbalance in her heart.
Once Xia Yi and Zheng Haiyang pass the college entrance examination and leave Bakushu Village, she will be stuck in Bakushu Village for the rest of her life!
He's just an idiot, a perfect match for Tong Yaozu, a good-for-nothing who can only live off his parents!
"Liu Xian, how come you've changed?" Xia Yi looked at Liu Xian with some unfamiliarity.
In her memory, Liu Xian was always gentle and soft-spoken.
It has never looked so sharp and piercing.
"It's changed?"
Liu Xian curled the corners of her lips. She had never changed; it was just that her circumstances did not allow her to reveal her true self.
"Maybe so! After being sent to the countryside for so long, things have to change."
Now is not the time to completely break ties with Xia Yi.
Since this fool is going to continue deceiving himself, why should she have to expose the truth?
“Yes! Who would have thought that being a sent-down youth in the countryside would be like this?” Xia Yi said, then thought of the purpose of her visit.
He said, "Liu Xian, do you have any college entrance exam materials? Let me borrow them! Let's take the exam together, leave this Eight Trees Village together, and go back to the city!"
