Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Help
"Oh? How can you help me?"
Li Zhiqiang stopped, reached out to push his glasses up on his nose, and spoke patiently and sincerely.
Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Shu Meilan smiled and said, "My cousin and I have a very good relationship. Although she is arrogant and looks down on everyone, she has no other major problems. You have good taste in her."
After many days, Shu Meilan finally got the chance to say something in a veiled way about Shu Niannian. She felt much better.
Li Zhiqiang's eyes darkened, and he asked again, "How are you going to help me?"
Shu Meilan fiddled with her instant noodle head, smiled contemptuously, and said, "My cousin likes to go to grandpa's house to fiddle with herbs. If you want to pursue her, you must first understand her preferences and cultivate the same interests and hobbies as hers. Only in this way can you slowly make her like you."
"How about this, my cousin will go to grandpa's place tomorrow, you can go directly to the old house tomorrow, my grandpa's place is easy to find, you can find the place by asking people in the village, and give my cousin a surprise, what do you think? Girls, sometimes they say no, but they really like it in their hearts."
Shu Meilan finished speaking happily. She thought Li Zhiqiang would be grateful to her, but Li Zhiqiang said, "It's very rude to go to someone else's house without saying hello. Are you sure your cousin likes it?"
Shu Meilan choked and her expression cracked for a moment, but she soon smiled again, "Surprises? All girls like them. How about this, if you have any concerns, I'll say hello to her tonight, so that you can go directly to the old house tomorrow and it won't seem too abrupt. What do you think?"
Li Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment, then said to Shu Meilan politely, "Thank you for your concern. I'm sorry for bothering you. Please tell Nian Nian about this."
Shu Meilan smiled brightly, "Hey, it's just a small favor. You are so polite. I will be embarrassed to ask you for help in the future."
After saying what she needed to say, Shu Meilan left contentedly.
However, Li Zhiqiang went back and took a shortcut to Shujia Village, and repeated to Shu Niannian what Shu Meilan had said word for word.
Shu Niannian frowned, "What does she want to do?"
Li Zhiqiang pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, but I feel like it's not a good thing."
Shu Niannian thanked Li Zhiqiang, but Li Zhiqiang waved his hand and said, "I do want to date you, but I want you to be willing to date me. I don't want to use these despicable means."
Shu Meilan's words were full of loopholes. He would just listen to them but would definitely not do what she said.
"What should I do? Do you need me to cooperate with you?"
Li Zhiqiang is a gentleman with a smart mind. If he doesn't force himself on being with her, he will be a very good comrade.
Shu Niannian was very grateful to Li Zhiqiang. After thinking for a moment, she told Li Zhiqiang a plan, and Li Zhiqiang understood it.
It was getting late, and after finishing their business, Li Zhiqiang left in a hurry. A moment later, Shu Meilan came to the main room. Shu Niannian was sitting next to a small red clay stove, warming herself and making tea. She looked up at Shu Meilan, but didn't chase her away, nor did she pay any attention to her, just pretending not to see her.
Shu Meilan came over smelling the fragrance of tea. She thought Shu Niannian would pour her a cup of scented tea, but Shu Niannian ignored her completely. Shu Meilan was very disappointed. If it had been in the past, she would definitely not be able to bring herself to do it, but today she had something to say to Shu Niannian, so she had to stay.
"Cousin, grandpa is going to visit relatives in the next county tomorrow. I don't know if he will be back at night or not. No one is looking after the herbs in his yard. I thought you like to play with herbs the most. How about you help grandpa take care of them tomorrow?"
Shu Niannian poured herself a cup of rose tea. The enamel cup was held in her hands, warm and comfortable. "I don't want to go. It's only a day. It doesn't matter if Grandpa doesn't come back. He won't be home for ten days or half a month. Don't worry, those herbs are well taken care of by Grandpa. They won't die."
Seeing that Shu Niannian was not fooled, Shu Meilan said anxiously, "It's not a matter of life or death. I know it's okay for those herbs to be left alone for a day or two, but it's always a good thing to have someone to take care of them. Besides, grandpa has been away a lot recently, and I'm afraid he hasn't taken good care of the herbs. Why don't you take this opportunity to go and take a look? If there is really anything wrong, you can help take care of it. Cousin, you have always had your own ideas about taking care of herbs."
Shu Niannian looked at Shu Meilan steadily and suddenly smiled. If Li Zhiqiang had not come back today to tell her something, she would probably have been moved by Shu Meilan's sincerity.
She forgot that Shu Meilan was a bad person, but she also had her own reasons when it came to reasoning.
"You're right. Grandpa hasn't been paying enough attention to the medicinal herbs recently. I'll go check on him tomorrow." Shu Niannian frowned, looking very distressed.
Shu Meilan stretched out her hand to tidy up her instant noodles and smiled happily, "Yes, you must not forget to go, those herbs in grandpa's yard, they really can't survive without you!"
Shu Meilan flattered Shu Niannian a few more times and then left in a hurry.
The next morning, after Shu Chengzu left home with his bag, Shu Meilan came quietly. Shu Guoqiang had secretly made a key to Shu Chengzu's house before, and he didn't expect it to come in handy today.
Shu Meilan opened the door, put the medicine in the water tank and the thermos, shook it well, and went to the backyard, stepping on the neatly grown herbs a few times. Suddenly, the herbs were scattered all over the place, crooked, and some even had their roots broken.
Shu Meilan looked at the messy herbs in front of her and smiled happily, "Now, Shu Niannian won't be able to leave this yard in less than a day!"
When working, one will feel thirsty, and when thirsty, one will drink water. In this yard, all the drinkable water has been added with something by her. As long as Shu Niannian drinks it, she will be ruined!
Shu Meilan looked at everything in front of her and smiled happily, "Cousin, please don't blame me for being cruel. You should blame yourself for this. As long as you don't get married, Brother Jianjun will miss you. I can't lose Brother Jianjun, so I think it's better to destroy you. Besides, you won't suffer any loss. The other party is the son of the director of the machinery factory, and you are taking advantage of him. What good marriage can you get as a country girl who has broken off the engagement?"
If she had a choice, Shu Meilan would definitely find an illiterate domestic violence man for Shu Niannian and pair her with Li Zhiqiang. That's because Shu Meilan is kind-hearted.
Shu Meilan wiped out all traces of human intervention at the scene, locked the door quietly and left, as if she had never been there.
An hour later, Shu Niannian went out and went to Shu Chengzu's place. Unlike Shu Meilan, her key was given to her by Shu Chengzu, so Shu Niannian could go to the old house anytime and anywhere.
When Shu Meilan saw Shu Niannian go out, she went to the village entrance and found a secluded place to hide. Sure enough, after a while, Li Zhiqiang came. She saw him asking people about the direction of the old house, and her heart was pounding with excitement!
It’s done!
Next, she just waited for Yang Guihua to catch the person, and everything would be done!
Shu Meilan thought to herself: Shu Niannian, I will now pay back double the humiliation I suffered before!
Shu Meilan returned home and told Yang Guihua about the matter. Yang Guihua patted her chest and said that she would take care of the matter.
She has no other abilities except being unreasonable and inciting others to laugh at her. In Shujia Village, if she dares to call herself second, no one dares to say that she is first.
Two hours later, Yang Guihua drank a teacup of warm water, adjusted herself to the best condition, and went to Shu Chengzu's old house with her head held high.
She called her friends along the way. Of course, she didn't leave many friends behind. It's just that people in the countryside love to watch the fun, and Yang Guihua is good at making jokes, so when she called out, the uncles and aunts who were basking in the sun on the roadside all followed her.
On the way, someone asked her, "Guoqiang, what are you taking us to do?"
Yang Guihua spoke with full energy. She walked at the front with a proud and confident look, followed by a group of onlookers.
"I'll take you to see the fun, just follow me!"
A group of people soon arrived at Shu Chengzu's gate. Yang Guihua looked at the locked door and smiled happily. She stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Bang, bang, bang." She controlled the strength very well, neither too much nor too little, ensuring that people outside could hear it, but people in the room inside could not hear it.
"Guoqiang, why are you knocking on the door so gently today? Use a little more force! Did you miss breakfast? It's a wonder the people inside can hear you knocking like that!!"
Yang Guihua thought, I just want the people in the house not to hear it, so that I can catch them off guard!
"Hey, the door of the old man's house is old and worn out. I knocked hard on it and it fell apart. What should I do?"
Someone among the crowd soon said:
"I saw your old man go out with a bag on his back this morning. I said hello to him and he said he was going to visit relatives in the next county. How come he came back so soon?"
Before Yang Guihua could say anything, someone explained it to everyone, "That's impossible. I happened to be going to the county town this morning. I even drove the old man for a while. He told me that he would not be back for two days."
"So, who is the person who locked the door in this room?! Guoqiang, what on earth are you bringing us to see?!"
Yang Guihua sneered twice, "What are you looking at?! Nothing to look at! I brought you here to catch a thief! My old man went to visit relatives, and I don't know which petty thief took advantage of the opportunity and stole things in broad daylight! Today, I asked everyone to come together as witnesses. It's not that I want to smash my old man's door, but I really have no choice. I'm afraid that if I don't come, my old man's little assets will be taken away by the petty thief."
Originally, because of what happened to Shu Meilan some time ago, everyone had a bad impression of Yang Guihua. But now, everyone saw that she was righteously protecting Shu Chengzu's property, and in order to avoid being misunderstood by Shu Chengzu, she even led everyone to catch the thief. Some soft-hearted old aunts began to think that Yang Guihua was not bad!
This is exactly the effect Yang Guihua wanted, killing two birds with one stone, clearing herself and pinning Shu Niannian to the ground and beating her!
She put all her strength into banging on the door, and it only took her two or three tries to break it open.
"If I don't catch you red-handed today, I'm not called Yang Guihua!
Hey, isn’t this my niece Shu Niannian’s coat? Why is it hanging in the yard? ”
