Xu Yan really didn't want to be alone with Han Xiaoyu.
The feeling of being trapped by the original plot was too suffocating, and she didn't want to experience it a third time.
However, before she could take the snacks out of the kitchen, Han Xiaoyu suddenly called out to her.
Xu Yan paused, but did not turn around.
"Was everything you said at noon today true?" Han Xiaoyu asked. "Do you really want to marry Xie Zhuo?"
Xu Yan didn't turn around, so he didn't see Han Xiaoyu's expression when he asked those two questions, but he could tell from Han Xiaoyu's voice that he was very unhappy.
If you're unhappy, then you're unhappy.
Nobody wanted to coax him.
“Yes,” Xu Yan coldly turned her head to look at him, then thought of something and continued, “I’ll write a letter to my family later and ask my parents to go to your house to break off our engagement.”
Han Xiaoyu's expression turned even uglier.
“After all, you said before that you came up with this idea to help me,” Xu Yan looked at him, “now, it’s not necessary.”
"You really want to marry a country bumpkin? Aren't you afraid of upsetting your parents to death?" Han Xiaoyu clenched his fists.
"Oh, that's my business then," Xu Yan said in a calm tone, but it sounded very uncomfortable. "You don't need to worry about it."
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
After walking all the way to the female educated youth dormitory, I sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) to calm myself down, and the lingering sadness of the original owner slowly dissipated.
Xu Yan frowned.
Han Xiaoyu was so angry at Xu Yan's attitude that he slammed his hand on the table.
For some reason, starting from noon, he felt that something was wrong.
Many things shouldn't have turned out this way.
In his mind, Xu Yan would never say such a thing to him. She was always obedient and docile in front of him, and she was even willing to sacrifice her life for him.
And the Sun family too.
When he rushed to the commune's granary today, Sun Guoan and Chen Guizhen were surrounded by people from the Qingshan Brigade, who pointed and whispered among themselves, which gave him an indescribable sense of fear.
Wrong, all wrong.
It wasn't Chen Guizhen who stole the public grain; it was Xie Zhuo who stole it!
He wanted to shout it out loud.
But amidst the clamor of the crowd, he didn't dare to utter a sound, and even when Sun Jiarou looked at him, he didn't dare to glance at her.
On the other side.
Led by Xie Zhuo and Yang Shulan, the group arrived at the gate of the educated youth settlement in a grand procession.
Xie Zhuo went in first.
The educated youth at the settlement had just finished eating and washing their dishes, and were sitting together reminiscing about their wonderful life in the city when they saw a figure stride in.
"Xie Zhuo?"
Wu Shi was sitting facing the door when he saw Xie Zhuo come in and immediately stood up.
What are you doing here?
Seeing him like this, the other educated youth quickly jumped up and surrounded Xie Zhuo.
Xie Zhuo laughed mockingly at their reactions. If there were no one behind them, he would have shown these educated youths today how to be polite.
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?" Wu Shi raised his voice.
He still remembered the grudge from yesterday's kick, and as he looked at Xie Zhuo, he secretly gave a wink to the person next to him.
The man instantly understood what he meant.
They're preparing to launch a surprise attack.
"What are you doing?"
The others were two steps behind Xie Zhuo. Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, they heard the loud, boisterous voices inside, as if they were about to start arguing.
I came in again and took a look.
A group of people surrounded Xie Zhuo.
"You've gone too far!" Yang Shulan had heard about Xie Zhuo being beaten by the educated youth yesterday.
Although Liu Mancang told her immediately that Xie Zhuo was an actor, she saw today that Xie Zhuo was indeed fine.
But seeing this scene after entering was still quite a shock.
She grabbed a hoe from the ground and rushed towards Wu Shi.
Xie Zhuo was also startled by her actions, but knowing Yang Shulan's character, he didn't stop her.
Wu Shiping usually seemed quite arrogant, but when faced with Yang Shulan's imposing aura that seemed to want to kill him with a single blow, he still chickened out.
He quickly took a few steps back, but unexpectedly there was a wooden stump he had picked up from the edge of the grove behind him. He tripped on it and fell backward.
"This is a youth settlement. What are you trying to do?!"
Han Xiaoyu came out of the kitchen and saw Xie Zhuo again. He was so angry that his veins were bulging, but he didn't dare to do anything.
"Hey Han, you're really good at turning the tables on me," Xie Zhuo said, taking the hoe from Yang Shulan's hand and sticking it against the wall.
"Everyone saw clearly who couldn't speak properly and tried to fight right away. I think this place should be renamed a bandit's den from now on."
After saying that, he deliberately smirked and smiled at Han Xiaoyu with narrowed eyes.
"you!"
Han Xiaoyu was almost furious!
He really wished he could punch Xie Zhuo's face and smash it to pieces so that he could never smile again.
But there's nothing he can do right now.
The courtyard of the educated youth settlement was packed with people who seemed to have come for no apparent reason.
They were chattering noisily at that moment, and it was impossible to hear what they were saying.
He was truly fed up with the countryside.
She also hated Xie Zhuo to the core.
I don't know why, but nothing good ever comes of it when I'm with him.
I hope he really gets caught stealing public grain!
Why wasn't he the one arrested?
Why?
Han Xiaoyu's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He tore off a layer of oily skin from his palm with his fingernails, and blood flowed down between his fingers.
After all that fuss, the light in the yard wasn't as bright anymore, so no one noticed.
Xie Zhuo felt that Han Xiaoyu's behavior was a bit strange, but before he could take a closer look, Han Xiaoyu suddenly looked away and turned to walk towards the male educated youth dormitory.
Xie Zhuo: "?"
Seeing that Han Xiaoyu had left, the others didn't linger in the courtyard and followed him directly to the male educated youth dormitory.
Xu Yan also heard the commotion outside, but she was feeling unwell at the time.
When she came to her senses and went outside, she saw Han Xiaoyu striding into the dormitory with bloodshot eyes.
His hands were still covered in blood.
Xu Yan frowned.
Although she knew it couldn't be Xie Zhuo's blood, she still subconsciously glanced at Xie Zhuo's body before leaving.
Seeing that he was unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Then……
He took another breath when he saw the courtyard full of people.
What happened?
I've never heard of so many people being needed to arrange a marriage in the countryside before!
In the afternoon, I only heard Xie Zhuo say that he would come with an aunt.
Xu Yan guessed at the time that it was an elder he was close to.
But what's the situation now?
There were not only seven or eight aunties standing in the courtyard, but also several uncles, older brothers, and older sisters, and even five or six children staring at her with their big, round eyes.
