Jiang Xiaoyan angrily shook off Aunt Cui's hand, wiped away her tears, and ran out of the educated youth compound.
Cui Hai saw his mother give him a wink and immediately understood. He chased after her, calling out as he ran, "Xiao Yan, I know you're upset because my mother hit you without asking any questions, but she didn't know we were dating. Now that she knows, she'll definitely treat you well."
When Qian Duoduo came home from school, she saw this scene and was a little confused. What was going on? Had the two of them officially crossed paths?
Liu Yuan walked over, clapping her hands. When she saw Qian Duoduo, she handed her half of her hand and briefly explained what had happened at the educated youth compound. Qian Duoduo looked at Aunt Cui, who was walking over with great energy, in surprise. This was completely different from the fierce old lady who had just forced people to give her money!
When Aunt Cui saw Qian Duoduo looking at her, she grinned and then left the educated youth compound like a victorious rooster.
Liu Yuan looked at Feng Niaoniao who was approaching and said, "Jiang Xiaoyan is still a bit green. She was stunned by the old lady's two big breasts and was still crying there. As a result, she was forced into a relationship. The most important thing is that she ran away. Doesn't that just give people more room for imagination?"
Feng Niaoniao nodded and said, "Let's leave quickly, this is a dangerous place."
Liu Yuan nodded immediately and followed Feng Niaoniao toward their place, not forgetting to turn back and say to Qian Duoduo, "Duoduo, let's go home!"
Qian Duoduo waved to her, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a slender figure not far away. It was Zhou Lina.
Qian Duoduo didn't say anything to her and strode home.
Zhou Lina knew that Qian Duoduo had seen her. She was wondering how she could say something to her, but Qian Duoduo had already left. Zhou Lina's hands clenched into fists. What did she mean? If it weren't for the fact that the only family in Beian Village that best met her parents' requirements in terms of both family and personal circumstances, she really wouldn't have agreed.
As she was lost in thought, a tall figure passed by her—Qian Mao! Zhou Lina's eyes fell on Qian Mao like searchlights, her face flushing slightly, like a newlywed wife waiting for her husband to return home. However, Qian Mao's figure turned a corner not far away and disappeared from her sight.
Zhou Lina raised her hand and touched her heartbeat; it was a little fast. It seemed to be a destiny bestowed by heaven. But how could she get to his side? The normal way would probably be difficult, as he never had any contact with the educated youth. It seemed she could only think of another way.
Ever since Qian Duoduo heard Liu Yuan say that Zhou Lina was always staring at her third brother, it seemed that she had taken a fancy to him. Thinking about what the educated youth and the villagers thought of Zhou Lina, Qian Duoduo knew that such a person could not enter her family. Otherwise, her third brother might have his life ruined because of her.
So she told the village children to keep an eye on Zhou Lina and to tell her to report any strange behavior she might do.
After the spring planting season ended, Zhou Lina did nothing. However, Cui Hai and Jiang Xiaoyan got their marriage certificate, and the Cui family held a banquet. However, there were only five tables, not as many as the Qian family's. The banquet ended after the meal.
Jiang Xiaoyan felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the Cui family's shabby appearance. If it weren't for Cui Hai ruining her reputation in the village and even hugging her in front of everyone, she would have had no choice but to marry him. She thought their wedding would be like Qian Xiang's, with him picking her up on a bicycle and hosting a banquet with 10 tables. It couldn't be worse than Guo Ni's wedding, but it was truly worse, and by a huge margin.
Cui Hai was finally satisfied with his new love and happily went to the bridal chamber. But before the night was even half over, Cui Hai slapped Jiang Xiaoyan across the face with his bare hands, cursing, "Damn it, you're a used slut! I gave you my whole heart, and you're a second-hand goods!"
After saying that, he started beating Jiang Xiaoyan. Jiang Xiaoyan struggled and cried out. At first, Aunt Cui could still make a sound, but when she heard Cui Hai's cursing, she immediately fell silent.
For three days in a row, Jiang Xiaoyan did not go to work. Everyone thought it was because Cui Hai doted on his wife and praised him. Cui Hai just smiled honestly and did not refute it.
When summer came, many people went to the river near the village to wash clothes and take a bath. One day, Qian Duoduo came home from school and before he even entered the village, he saw two children who saw him and immediately ran over.
"Sister Duoduo, Sister Duoduo, I have information, I have information!" A child with a bronze complexion ran towards Qian Duoduo.
"Ningbo, what intelligence?" Qian Duoduo asked, looking at the child.
"Sister Duoduo, didn't you tell us to keep an eye on that educated youth Zhou when we had nothing to do? These past few days, she's been going to do laundry every evening, always after Brother Qian San has left." After Ningbo finished speaking, Qian Duoduo understood Zhou Lina's intentions.
Seeing that Qian Duoduo didn't speak, Ningbo was unsure if what she said was right. Another child said, "Sister Duoduo, today this educated youth Zhou took a piece of clothing that was washed yesterday and washed it by the river. However, she kept looking towards the village entrance."
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "I understand. Ningbo, go and call Liu Sanzhu for me. Tell him that someone has fallen into the water. He's a good swimmer and he should come quickly to save them."
Then he looked at another child and said, "Tiger, when you see Liu Sanzhu running towards the river, go find your grandma and the others and tell them that Liu Sanzhu is hugging a woman in the river."
Ningbo and Hu Zi immediately nodded. After lighting the candy, they saw that Qian Duoduo had two White Rabbit milk candies in his hand. Their eyes widened immediately, and Hu Zi even swallowed hard.
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "These two are for you. After things are done, I'll give you two yuan each."
Tiger looked up at Qian Duoduo and asked, "Really? Sister Duoduo?"
Seeing Qian Duoduo nod, the two immediately ran into the village.
Qian Duoduo knew that Zhou Lina was going to take action again today. After all, she had been observing for so many days, and she was bound to take some action soon. So she didn't go into the village, but waited for Qian Mao at the village entrance.
Before long, Qian Mao appeared in front of Qian Duoduo in an oxcart. Seeing his sister at the village entrance, Qian Mao immediately got off the cart and said, "What are you doing standing here? Why don't you go home?"
Qian Duoduo said, "I'll wait for you here." Seeing that Uncle Chen was still watching them, she smiled and greeted him. Then she slowly led Qian Mao into the village, but their walking speed was about as slow as a snail's pace. She whispered Zhou Lina's plan to her third brother.
Qian Mao laughed: "My sister is quite something, she even knows how to protect her third brother. Good, your good food wasn't wasted, and your love for her wasn't for nothing."
Qian Duoduo rolled her eyes at him: "I don't like her either. It's impossible for her to be my sister-in-law."
Qian Mao laughed: "It's alright. I noticed this woman too, but I'm a man, so I can't just take action directly."
Qian Duoduo asked, "My method should work."
Qian Mao whispered something in Qian Duoduo's ear, and then he laughed.
Qian Duoduo glanced at the person in front of her and thought, "What a black heart!"
