Speaking of Cui Hao, Mo Yuan and Lin Xue were extremely wary of him.
Back then, quite a few things happened in Xiaomo Village. And many of those troubles were caused by Cui Hao, who was always stirring up trouble and causing chaos behind the scenes.
In particular, the incident where Lin Xue contemplated jumping into the river was actually meticulously planned and orchestrated by Cui Hao. He was very shrewd; he simply wanted to stage a "hero saves the beauty" scene to create opportunities for himself to get closer to Lin Xue.
Who could have imagined that things would turn out differently from what we planned? At the crucial moment, Mo Yuan suddenly appeared and snatched the prize away.
Therefore, shortly after Mo Yuan carried Lin Xue home, an enraged Cui Hao immediately led a group of people to surround the Mo family's gate, demanding an explanation from Mo Yuan. Later, seeing that Lin Xue had actually agreed to be with Mo Yuan, Cui Hao completely abandoned all pretense of decency, becoming emboldened by lust and attempting to take advantage of Lin Xue.
Fortunately, Mo Yuan arrived in time and gave him a good beating. If it weren't for the possibility of damaging Lin Xue's reputation by making a scene, and the many pleas for leniency from the other educated youth, Mo Yuan might have punished him even more severely. Thankfully, the old Party Secretary was worried that it was a crucial time for the educated youth to return to the city, and that something might go wrong and become difficult to handle, so he stepped in to suppress the matter, trying to minimize the damage and make it disappear. It was thought that as the educated youth gradually returned to the city, the matter would be over.
Unexpectedly, that person reappeared! And the timing was perfect, just as Lin Xue and Mo Yuan returned.
This sudden turn of events instantly put Lin Xue and Mo Yuan on high alert.
Mo Yuan asked without hesitation, "Could it be that he happens to live nearby? So his appearance here is just a coincidence?" However, before Lin Lei could respond, Lin Xue quickly interjected, "That's highly unlikely! They live far away from here and don't have any relatives here. Normally, if there's nothing going on, why would they appear here for no reason? Besides, didn't Xiao Lei mention before that the man was asking around among the neighbors about something? Obviously, this is no accidental encounter!"
Then, she turned to Lin Lei, her eyes filled with expectation, and continued to ask, "Lin Lei, have you ever seen this person around this area? Especially since Cui Hao and the others returned to the city, have you had any contact with him?"
Seeing Lin Xue ask this question, Mo Yuan decided to listen carefully, hoping to find some key clues from Lin Lei's account.
Lin Lei's previously calm face instantly turned bright red, his chest heaving violently, as if a ball of anger was burning fiercely in his heart.
He stomped his foot, put his hands on his hips, and shouted angrily, "Oh dear, I'm so angry about this! That Cui Hao is a complete scoundrel! When I heard they were going back to the city, I was thinking, since he was sent to the countryside in the same place as you, sister, I was going to ask him about you. Who would have thought that that bastard would make up all sorts of awful things and say such nasty things! And he even said... he said things about you and your brother-in-law, and that a lot of the things about you came from him. When I heard that, I was so angry I wanted to punch him and teach him a lesson!"
But after spreading those rumors, that despicable guy disappeared like a coward. It makes sense; back in the city, just finding a job was enough to keep him incredibly busy, he wouldn't have had time to gossip! Anyway, no matter what, that guy is definitely not a good person, humph! Otherwise, he wouldn't have run away when he saw me today, he must have felt guilty!
Seeing Lin Lei's sullen appearance, it was easy to tell without thinking that what he hadn't said was definitely not pleasant.
However, after careful consideration, Mo Yuan couldn't help but wonder: there might be some unknown secrets hidden here! Perhaps Cui Hao's visit was actually aimed at him and Lin Xue. As for why he fled upon seeing Lin Lei, it wasn't simply because he was afraid of being beaten; it was very likely because he was worried about revealing his weakness and being exposed.
But upon closer examination, it seemed this person wouldn't cause much of a stir, so let him be for now. As the saying goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it," there was nothing to worry about. Therefore, the topic was dropped and no longer pursued.
Originally, Mo Yuan planned to tell everyone about Lin Zhennan and others' work so that everyone could be happy.
But then he changed his mind and felt that this was not a good idea. Although he was very confident and had a plan, from Lin Zhennan's point of view, they would definitely find it unbelievable that Mo Yuan could easily solve their work problems by simply going out and finding someone.
This sounds like a fantasy, no matter how you look at it. Once they know the truth, they will surely be restless and terrified.
Rather than letting them worry and live in fear all day, it would be better to tell them after everything has settled down. With this in mind, Mo Yuan ultimately decided to leave it at that for the time being and not mention the matter.
However, just as Mo Yuan and Lin Xue put the matter of Cui Hao aside for the time being, he, filled with resentment, stood in front of a woman in her thirties, with flamboyant and beautiful makeup, dressed in gorgeous clothes.
At this moment, Cui Hao had decided to go all in and gamble everything, pinning all his hopes on this opportunity, because it concerned his job, and perhaps this would bring a turning point.
Back then, when Cui Hao returned to the city full of ambition, he thought that a new chapter in his life was about to begin.
After all, his time working in the countryside was too bleak, with daily hard work and a monotonous life that was almost unbearable for him.
Not only physically, but also mentally, I feel extremely distressed!
So when he finally made it through all the hardships, caught the last bus back to the city, and successfully returned to Shanghai, his heart was filled with anticipation and hope for the future. He was determined to make great strides here and reach the pinnacle of his life.
But to his utter surprise, the reality that awaited him was far more cruel.
The influx of people like him, returning to the city from their hometowns, has led to fierce competition for jobs. With supply falling short of demand, finding a satisfactory job is no easy feat.
This series of blows came like a storm, instantly turning the once spirited Cui Hao into a dejected and dispirited man.
Now that he's finally found an opportunity, Cui Hao has decided to make the most of it.
He thought viciously to himself, "Mo Yuan, Lin Xue, this time, I'll make you pay!"
