Chapter 10 Friends who trust each other

Early in the morning, the male educated youth went to fetch water while the female educated youth prepared breakfast.

The meal was ready, but Jiang Haoran had not come out to eat.

When asked, the male educated youth all looked disgusted.

Li Cheng covered his mouth and nose and said, "Don't mention it. Luckily we were not suffocated to death last night."

The female educated youth were very curious and asked further. They learned that Jiang Haoran fell into the toilet last night.

While talking, Jiang Haoran left the house and took the lunch box to the kitchen to get rice.

He was still emitting a foul smell. Everyone quickly took the lunch box and left far away, leaving only Wang Yanhong.

Wang Yanhong looked at Jiang Haoran's pale face and asked with concern: "Haoran, are you okay? Did Shen Jiale hurt you, so you walked unsteadily and accidentally fell in?"

Being beaten by a woman is not a glorious thing. When Wang Yanhong mentioned it, Jiang Haoran's face turned ashen.

"No, I was pushed down last night."

"Who did it? Was it Shen Jiale? Let's report it to the village chief and punish her severely."

"I didn't see anyone, but I'm sure it wasn't a girl."

"Why didn't you fight back yesterday and just let Shen Jiale beat you? I used to think she was harmless, but I didn't expect her true face to be like this."

"Maybe I broke into the house and scared her yesterday."

Wang Yanhong said angrily: "She wanted to kill you, and you still spoke for her!"

Jiang Haoran's eyes were gloomy, but he said: "Time will tell, I believe one day, she will understand my feelings."

...

Last night's deeds made Tang Xiaotian and Shen Jiale the focus of today. As soon as they got to the ground, women surrounded them and asked about what happened.

Tang Xiaotian was telling the story vividly.

Jiang Haoran walked up to Shen Jiale.

"I was reckless yesterday. I shouldn't have suddenly barged into your room and startled you."

Shen Jiale took two steps back in disgust, looking at Jiang Haoran like a fool. Did he become stupid after being beaten up like that? He was still able to explain with a smug face. What's wrong with him?

It seems that I didn't hit him lightly, otherwise why wouldn't he learn his lesson?

Jiang Haoran not only didn't learn his lesson, but also asked Captain Zhou to arrange him to pull weeds next to Shen Jiale.

When Shen Jiale was working, he never looked up at him.

Jiang Haoran wanted to help Shen Jiale to gain his favor, but the pain in his body made him slow down. On the contrary, Shen Jiale was in a good mood. Even if Lu Mingfeng didn't come to help today, he was still far ahead.

When Shen Jiale was weeding, he heard Chen Qiao say that Lu Mingfeng's mother was sick and he had to help her today. When

he got off work, Shen Jiale looked along the way and saw Lu Mingfeng still working in the field from a distance.

Walking up to him, he asked, "I heard from Chen Qiao that your mother is sick. Did you go to the clinic?"

Lu Mingfeng stood up and said, "I just have a little cough. My mother said that I will be fine after a day of rest."

Shen Jiale said, "Even if it is a minor illness, you can't be careless. I have some medicine sent by my family. Come to me after you finish your work."

Lu Mingfeng nodded in agreement.

On the way back, Shen Jiale took out the cough syrup from the space, tore off the packaging, and put it in his pocket.

...

Because Jiang Haoran fell into the cesspool, no one wanted to eat with him, and the female educated youth took the food to the room to eat.

When Lu Mingfeng came over, Shen Jiale was cooking outside.

Shen Jiale handed him the bottle of cough syrup and explained the usage and dosage.

Lu Mingfeng took the medicine home and gave it to his mother.

Liang Qiaoli blamed him and said, "I told you it's okay. Why waste money? We have to save money for you to get married."

Lu Mingfeng poured the medicine into the bottle cap and handed it to Liang Qiaoli, "Mom, I didn't spend any money. It was given to me by Shen Zhiqing."

Liang Qiaoli drank the medicine and showed a surprised expression, "This medicine is sweet and tastes really good!"

Lu Mingfeng smiled and said, "How can you say that medicine tastes good?" Then he asked how much money was still missing for the betrothal gift for his eldest brother.

Liang Qiaoli smiled and said, "The betrothal gift is enough. I plan to go to the Zhou family to propose marriage after the summer harvest and arrange your eldest brother's wedding by the end of the year."

The Lu family came back one after another, and Lu Bailing served the meal on the table.

Liang Qiaoli said to her husband Lu Yongfu, "His father, please take some time to go to Xiaoli Village to find Carpenter Li. The bed, wardrobe, table and chair can be made."

Lu Yongfu's eyes dodged for a moment: "The marriage has not been decided yet, why rush?"

"This is not something that can be made in a day or two. Of course, you have to tell them in advance so that they can prepare the wood."

"Does the Zhou family want these things?"

"Do they still need to ask for them? Nowadays, you have to prepare these for marriage. This is the first time our family is getting married. If others have them, we have to have them too."

Lu Yongfu didn't say anything and went out after dinner.

Liang Qiaoli asked curiously, "Aren't you going to take a nap today?"

Lu Yongfu said he didn't.

...

At noon, everyone was taking a nap. Shen Jiale went to the back mountain to pick up some dry branches and heard some movement behind him.

Looking back, it was Lu Mingfeng.

"Don't you need to take a nap now?" Shen Jiale asked.

"You didn't sleep either."

"It's going to rain in a few days, and I don't have much firewood, so I came to pick some."

"My mother said that after drinking the medicine you gave her, her throat immediately became much cooler, and her cough was not so severe. Thank you for the medicine."

Shen Jiale smiled and said, "Why are you being polite? You have helped me so much. If the medicine works well, drink it for three days."

Lu Mingfeng followed and picked up branches. After a while, the two of them picked up a lot of branches.

Lu Mingfeng also went to cut a lot of thatch, and then wove the thatch into straw curtains.

Seeing Shen Jiale's puzzled expression, it was very cute.

Lu Mingfeng explained: "Putting straw curtains over the branches will keep them from getting wet."

Shen Jiale was not afraid of the branches getting wet, so he took out a plastic sheet from the room to cover them. However, he did not expect Lu Mingfeng to be so considerate.

"You are actually not like what others say."

"I am afraid that I am not a good person in others' words?"

"Have you ever done anything evil?"

"No, do they say that about me?" Lu Mingfeng, who never cared about other people's opinions, was now a little worried that other people's evaluation of him would make Shen Jiale have a bad impression of him.

Shen Jiale did not answer, but asked him: "Do you often beat people? I don't think you are a hot-tempered person."

Lu Mingfeng tried: "If what they said is true, will you be afraid of me?"

In his previous life, although Lu Mingfeng was ruthless in the business world, people who had worked with him said that he was a loyal person.

In addition, he had taken care of him before, so Shen Jiale absolutely did not believe that he was the cruel person the villagers said.

"I did beat up some people. No, I beat up animals. I don't regret what I did."

"Didn't you explain it?"

"No one would believe me. My father even wanted me to go to jail."

Shen Jiale recalled that in his previous life, after Lu Mingfeng became successful, his father was instigated by someone to sue him in court, saying that he did not support the elderly, which once became a news headline.

Later, his eldest brother and sister testified in court for him, proving that he sent living expenses to his father on time, but this incident still affected his business.

"I won't be afraid of you. No matter what happens, as long as you are willing to tell me, I will choose to believe you."

Looking at Shen Jiale's sincere eyes, Lu Mingfeng's eyes were a little wet.

For the first time, someone believed in him unconditionally.

Lu Mingfeng turned his head to look at the sky, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you don't believe me."

"Then are you willing to believe me too? Trust should be mutual."

Shen Jiale stretched out his palm, motioning Lu Mingfeng to stretch out his hand as well.

Lu Mingfeng carefully stretched out his palm, and Shen Jiale quickly high-fived him: "From now on, we are friends who trust each other!"

At this moment, Lu Mingfeng couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

Looking at his palm, Shen Zhiqing just said that he wanted to be friends with him!

Suddenly, Lu Mingfeng ran towards the mountain, shouting while running.

A woman ran over in a hurry: "Shen Zhiqing, have you seen Mingfeng?"

Shen Jiale pointed at the man running wildly on the hillside.

The woman yelled: "Mingfeng, hurry home, your house has been robbed!"
