"It doesn't hurt." Lu Huai didn't dare to look at her any longer.
Shen Shuyi stepped forward and directly pulled his quilt, “Let me see.”
Lu Huai tightened his grip, “Shen Zhiqing, I’m really fine.”
"His head is broken, how can he be okay!" Shen Shuyi's tone became heavier. She put down the medicine box she brought, and Yingzi brought a basin of water.
This matter was kept secret from Grandma Lu. Chen Shuyi asked Yingzi to go back and sleep with her grandma. Yingzi looked at her brother worriedly before leaving.
Shen Shuyi saw his eyes and said, "Lu Huai, if you don't want grandma to worry, let me bandage your wound quickly. If you collapse, who will support this family?"
Lu Huai loosened his hand, sat up silently, and then revealed all the injuries on his body.
“Shen Zhiqing, I’m bothering you again.”
Seeing the marks of beatings all over his body, Shen Shuyi asked with a depressed heart, "Why didn't you run away if you couldn't beat him?"
"Those people are just gossiping. There's no need for you to do anything."
Lu Huai had a cold face, looking like a stubborn person who refused to admit defeat, "They deserve to be beaten."
Shen Shuyi’s hand poked his bruise, and when he heard a “hiss”, he responded to him.
"I heard about it. Anyway, thank you for your protection."
"But I don't want you to get hurt."
Lu Huai didn't look into her eyes, but he could hear the concern in her tone.
He stuttered for no apparent reason, "No, you're welcome. They scolded me."
Shen Shuyi leaned forward as he helped him apply medicine.
In an instant, the girl's body fragrance drifted over as she leaned slightly, vaguely. Just as Lu Huai was about to hide behind, Shen Shuyi spoke first.
"Don't move, or the oil will get everywhere."
Her words were so light, like a feather falling into his heart.
Lu Huai subconsciously looked up and met her gentle and coquettish expression.
She is so kind, how could Lu Huai tolerate others slandering her.
"Yeah." Lu Huai looked away.
After taking the medicine, Lu Huai gave her money again.
Shen Shuyi glanced at Qian and realized the distance he had deliberately kept.
"Lu Huai, do you just treat me as a doctor?"
When Lu Huai heard the bitterness in her tone, his heartbeat first paused, and then began to beat rapidly.
She...what does she mean?
Lu Huai froze, and after a while he raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.
The girl in front of him also looked at him, her fair and delicate face showing a bit of melancholy and stubbornness, and her eyes were red.
Lu Huai's mind went blank.
Shen Shuyi's red eyes completely confused his mind.
The more this happened, the more blocked his chest felt, and his voice became colder, as if he was reminding himself.
"I get stabbed in the back every day. I don't care what others say about me, but you are staying at my house and are my guest. Now you are implicated by me. I beat them just to let people know that there is nothing wrong between you and me, and it is not as bad as they say."
Shen Shuyi pursed her lips.
Are you so eager to cut ties?
But Shen Shuyi didn't believe that Lu Huai's protection and care for her came from the landlord's concern for the tenant.
She had no evidence for the time being regarding the relationship, but Shen Shuyi could feel that the 50% favorability value also clearly told her that Lu Huai liked her.
Wait a little longer, it can't be done all at once.
After getting in a good mood, Shen Shuyi followed Lu Huai's words and said, "Why are you saying so much? I just thought that you and I should be considered friends. I can't accept this money, so don't be polite to me."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he looked at her.
Could it be that he misunderstood...
That's right, she is an intellectual from the city, how could she like a rough country guy like him?
I felt relieved, but at the same time, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
…
It was autumn, and the wild chestnuts in the mountains were ripe. Chen Shuyi did not want to compete for a place as a worker-peasant-soldier, so the time she spent working in the fields to earn work points was greatly reduced, so she carried a bamboo basket into the mountains to pick chestnuts. Not to mention that she could make some money by frying the chestnuts and selling them on the black market, she just wanted the special soft, glutinous and sweet taste of chestnut stewed with meat.
Before entering the mountain, she unexpectedly ran into Cheng Wanqin and a man in a remote place. The man was not Wang Chuzhe, so she took a second look at him.
Oh, it turned out to be Liu Dayong, the foolish son of the village chief who was Cheng Wanqin’s bootlicker.
She didn't stop, but asked System 66 as she walked up the mountain, "66, what's the current situation between Cheng Wanqin and Liu Dayong?"
In the previous life, Cheng Wanqin kept Liu Dayong hanging to gain benefits, but eventually she married Wang Zhechu. Liu Dayong didn't even make a fuss, which was very strange.
[Doesn’t Cheng Wanqin live in the village chief’s house? Liu Dayong provided her with good food and drink, and even stole money from home to give to her. Cheng Wanqin pushed Liu Dayong away but still took his money. Liu Dayong was so happy just to touch her hand. ]
A dark light flashed in Shen Shuyi's eyes. She couldn't let Cheng Wanqin live so comfortably in this life. She was a vengeful person, and she had not forgotten the pit that Cheng Wanqin had dug for her.
Cheng Wanqin saw Chen Shuyi walking up the mountain from afar and her heart sank. She pulled Liu Dayong to the haystack nearby and hid there.
"Wanqin, Wanqin!" Liu Dayong looked at her excitedly, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Wanqin looked at the man in front of her. Although he looked ordinary, he was the son of the village chief, and most importantly, he liked her very much.
With him around, she no longer has to worry about meat and grain coupons!
"Nothing, don't you have something to tell me?" She asked shyly with her head slightly lowered.
Liu Dayong's eyes widened when he saw her shy look. In his eyes, Cheng Zhiqing was the best girl in the entire Red Star Village.
