Ruan Wenbin's face turned even greener when he heard Zhao Yajing's question.
She gasped, frowned, and said impatiently, "That's ancient history, why are you bringing it up again?"
Besides, my parents aren't my stepmother or stepfather. Why would they beat me over a dress and a handkerchief?
As he said this, Ruan Wenbin rolled his eyes in annoyance, thinking that the person in front of him had no sense of propriety.
"I don't know how someone as stupid as you managed to defeat the enemy and earn military merit!"
Ruan Wenbin's tone was full of disdain for Zhao Yajing.
But Zhao Yajing seemed to have long been used to Ruan Wenbin's sharp tongue, and instead seized on the loopholes in his words to press for answers:
"Does that mean you did something even worse than tearing Ruan Miaomiao's most beloved dress?"
"..."
Ruan Wenbin rolled his eyes at Zhao Yajing, then turned around and looked at Ruan Miaomiao ingratiatingly: "Miaomiao, please help your third brother plead for Mom and Dad. Your third brother really knows he was wrong and will never make the same mistake again."
Ruan Miaomiao just wanted to teach Ruan Wenbin a lesson so that he wouldn't be sold out and then help count the money.
She nodded in agreement.
"Miaomiao, what did Ruan Wenbin do wrong this time?"
Zhao Yajing listened to the conversation between the brother and sister and asked curiously.
Ruan Miaomiao stood up and said to Zhao Yajing, "Ask him!"
After saying that, he got up and went upstairs to pack his luggage, planning to return to Bicheng in a few days.
Downstairs, Zhao Yajing kept pestering Ruan Wenbin with questions.
Ruan Wenbin couldn't stand being pestered anymore, and only after Zhao Yajing swore not to tell anyone else did he recount the whole story.
After listening, Zhao Yajing's expression was priceless:
"Men can have sex with other men?"
How can a man like another man?
Upon hearing Zhao Yajing's question, Ruan Wenbin secretly wondered: Is Zhao Yajing out of her mind? Is this the crux of the matter?
The crux of the matter is that Miaomiao was almost harmed by Lin Changhai.
However, neither Zhao Yajing nor Ruan Wenbin mentioned it.
He said with a look of disgust, "I felt that Lin Changhai and Li Pengfei were not right. They were always exchanging glances in front of me, and sometimes they would quarrel in front of me, and I would even help mediate between them."
Looking back now, I realize how ridiculous I was; they were just flirting.
Zhao Yajing still couldn't accept it, muttering, "But what man likes another man? Shouldn't men like women?"
Ruan Wenbin picked up where Zhao Yajing left off, and said dismissively, "Oh, you're not very knowledgeable. I heard from Miaomiao that not only do men like men, but women also like women."
As the conversation progressed, Ruan Wenbin's gaze towards Zhao Yajing suddenly turned strange: "Oh my, you tomboy, you dress like a man and live like a man all day long. Could it be that deep down you see yourself as a man? Would you like women?"
After he finished speaking, before the shocked Zhao Yajing could even recover, Ruan Wenbin hurriedly and frantically pushed her out of his house, cursing as he did so:
"Tomboy, for the sake of us growing up together, don't come to my house again."
If you really like women, and Miaomiao is beautiful, has a good temper, and is capable, you will definitely fall for her.
I only have one younger sister, and I want to be an uncle in the future. Please, please let her go…
? ? ? ?
"..."
Zhao Yajing, who was pushed to the door of the Ruan family, was completely confused: When did she start liking women?
What a joke! How could Zhao Yajing like women?
She clearly likes effeminate men!
But before she could explain, Ruan Wenbin hurriedly closed the door, bracing it from the inside, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, I was smart enough to realize the tomboy's intentions early on.
Otherwise, my poor little sister will be harassed by someone again.
Oh, my poor sister, how can she be so charming? It's one thing for men to have their eyes on her, but women do too?
The more Ruan Wenbin thought about it, the more he sympathized with his sister. He felt that the reason why Ruan Miaomiao had changed so much after going to the countryside must be because she had been watched by too many people outside, which had made her tough.
Realizing this, Ruan Wenbin felt extremely distressed.
On one hand, he wanted to get his younger sister out of this den of wolves as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to make it up to her...
In the days that followed, Ruan Miaomiao noticed that Ruan Wenbin was acting strangely. Apart from going to the cultural troupe for training, he spent all his time revolving around her.
At first, Ruan Miaomiao thought the other party felt guilty about what had happened before, but after a few days, as Ruan Wenbin kept muttering something in her ear:
"Miaomiao, when you're out and about, people can be unpredictable. You need to be wary not only of men, but also of women!"
"Miaomiao, let me tell you something. It seems that some women like to use the guise of friendship to get close to other women, but in reality, they want to date them."
"Miaomiao, you are a woman, you must take good care of yourself when you are out and about."
"Miaomiao, isn't Bicheng too far? Should we skip it?"
"Oh no, Haicheng isn't safe either. The bigger the place, the easier it is for new ideas to be accepted, and the worse the people become!"
...
"Third Brother, are you worried that some lesbians are eyeing me?"
Having figured it out, Ruan Miaomiao directly asked Ruan Wenbin.
Ruan Wenbin didn't expect his sister to ask so directly, and immediately nodded and said, "Miaomiao, you understand your third brother the most. You understand what your third brother means even without me saying it."
Ruan Miaomiao: You've made it so obvious, even a fool would know.
However, she never refuses the concern of her family.
She continues to play the role of a well-behaved and sensible younger sister, dragging Ruan Wenbin to the department store to shop every day...
******
Qian Sheng, Provincial Chinese Medicine Factory.
Zhou Shuixian, wearing the uniform of the provincial Chinese medicine factory, her hair braided into a long braid and tied at the back of her head, sat in the processing room of Chinese medicinal materials, selecting different medicinal materials according to different prescriptions, weighing them, checking their quality, and piling them up...
"Astragalus!"
"Angelica sinensis!"
"Chonglou!"
...
As she deftly rummaged through the various Chinese medicinal herbs, a female worker nearby watched Zhou Shuixian in amazement and couldn't help but praise her:
"Sister Shuixian, you are really amazing. You've only been at the factory for a few months, but you can already recognize so many Chinese medicinal herbs."
When I first came to the factory, I stayed for about half a year and only recognized about half of the Chinese medicinal herbs. I needed the team leader to help me confirm many of them.
Even so, it's only because my sister went back and gave me extra tutoring!
Hearing her colleague's praise, Zhou Shuixian wore a faint smile, but secretly thought to herself:
What's so great about it?
Aren't they all the result of hard work?
How could she not work hard?
She finally escaped that awful place, the Wang family, and finally managed to come to the city. How could she not work hard?
If she doesn't work hard, how can she face her family who helped her and her brother?
