"What's wrong with you, girl?"
Were you bullied outside?
When Aunt Wang saw her daughter return with red eyes, she immediately put down her sewing basket, rolled up her sleeves, and stormed out, cursing:
"Which blind bastard dares to bully my daughter, Wang Chunxiang? Does he have a death wish?"
Seeing her mother like this, Er Ya cried even more aggrievedly, sobbing as she asked:
"Mom, why isn't Jingyun your son? Why isn't Jingyun my biological brother?"
"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat?"
"You have a brother, don't you!"
Aunt Wang felt something was off about her daughter, so she stopped and looked her over.
Hearing her mother's words, Zhou Erya felt even more wronged:
"I have brothers, so what if I have three brothers?"
She's still not as good as Peach Blossom. Although she only has one brother, he's capable enough to win over Ruan Zhiqing.
From now on, Ruan Zhiqing will be Taohua's sister-in-law. What future do my three brothers have...?
The three older brothers of the Zhou family, who had just returned from cutting corn stalks in the field to earn work points, felt a chill in their hearts when they heard their second sister's words: I treated you like a sister, and you actually despise me?
Although they admitted that they were indeed no match for Zhou Jingyun.
However, it's not just those three who can't compare to Zhou Jingyun!
In the entire Jianshan Brigade, which young man can compare to Zhou Jingyun?
They tried to save face by saying, "We're still young. Even our eldest brother isn't seventeen yet. We're too young to pursue Ruan Zhiqing."
Seeing her three older brothers, dressed in tattered clothes and tanned like black devils, Zhou Erya was even more heartbroken:
"It's as if you could have won over Ruan Zhiqing if you were two or three years older."
"Don't you even look at what you all look like? And what does Brother Jingyun look like!"
The three older brothers of the Zhou family: They are disliked by their second sister, and they are so heartbroken!
Scratching the back of his head, the eldest brother of the Zhou family spoke up to save face: "Like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole."
We all look like this because we were born of our parents!
"Hey, you three bastards, do you think your father and I aren't as good-looking as Zhou Jianjun and his wife?"
Aunt Wang picked up a willow twig from the ground and chased after her three sons, hitting them as if to vent her pent-up frustration.
She also wanted Ruan Zhiqing to be her daughter-in-law!
However, her son was a disappointment, and Ruan Zhiqing looked down on him too!
******
"Brother Qingming, can't you still forget Ruan Zhiqing?"
At the foot of the mountain, in the cornfield, Zhou Shuhua, who had come to deliver water to her family, secretly found Shen Qingming, who was busy cutting corn stalks to earn work points.
Meeting the woman's resentful gaze, Shen Qingming, who was so busy that his back ached, almost lost his temper.
But when she thought about the eggs she had eaten these past few days, she could only try her best to suppress her anger.
Feigning a bewildered expression, she asked the person who came in, "Shuhua, why would you ask that?"
Did someone say something to you?
Seeing that Shen Qingming's attitude towards her hadn't changed, Zhou Shuhua felt relieved and began to speak, her voice choked with emotion:
“I heard from the villagers that when the corn was being harvested a while ago, you went to find Ruan Zhiqing and asked her to break up with Zhou Jingyun and beg her to come back to you.”
"If you weren't still hung up on your past relationship with Ruan Zhiqing, why would someone as proud as you grovel and beg her in front of so many people?"
"..."
Upon hearing Zhou Shuhua's words, Shen Qingming expressed that he felt like he was having a heart attack:
How could that be?
Of course, they're after Ruan Miaomiao's money and votes, and the Ruan family's influence!
But who knew that that bitch Ruan Miaomiao would be so heartless and never turn back?
That shameless, promiscuous woman actually went and saw another man right in front of me!
The more Shen Qingming thought about it, the angrier he became.
Seeing Shen Qingming's increasingly ferocious and distorted expression, Zhou Shuhua was somewhat frightened and took a step back, asking nervously and anxiously:
"Brother Qingming, are you... are you alright?"
This sound pulled Shen Qingming back from his painful hatred.
Realizing his lapse in composure, he immediately adopted a gentle and refined demeanor, and sighed at Zhou Shuhua:
"Shuhua, I'm fine. I just didn't expect that my good intentions would be spread like this by the villagers."
How could I possibly still have feelings for Ruan Miaomiao?
I just thought that since we were classmates, I couldn't bear to see her go astray, so I made an excuse to try to win her back and separate her from Zhou Jingyun.
As you know, Ruan Miaomiao was spoiled since childhood. Although she has a bit of a temper and is a bit violent, she's not a bad person.
If I start dating a man from the village without any clear understanding of the situation, won't I end up marrying into the village?
I couldn't bear to see her wallowing in self-pity, so I thought I'd give her a hand.
I never expected to be misunderstood like this!
When Shen Qingming said this, the expression on his face was extremely painful.
This made Zhou Shuhua's heart ache terribly. She cautiously reached out and gently smoothed Zhou Jingyun's furrowed brows, saying with a look of relief:
"I knew it! I knew Qingming had no feelings for Ruan Zhiqing anymore. The villagers were all lying to me!"
Hearing that this girl believed him so easily, Shen Qingming felt much more at ease.
Having already lost Ruan Miaomiao, a big fish, we can't afford to lose Zhou Shuhua, our meal ticket.
After all, Zhou Shuhua was the daughter of the brigade accountant, and she had easily helped him pay back several tens of yuan from Ruan Miaomiao before, so you can imagine how wealthy her family was.
