Chapter 22: First confession
"Afu, we have to pick a hundred kilograms every day. This business is very strenuous."
Qin Fang held the steering wheel, staring straight ahead, but his tone revealed worry.
To be honest, he was not very reassured. A few dozen dollars was not a lot for him. If Ruan Fu really needed money, he could just give it to her. There was no need for her to work so hard.
But seeing how motivated the other party was just now, I didn’t want to spoil the fun.
Ruan Fu shook her head. She was not a stubborn person who only knew how to use brute force to do things.
"Brother Qin, don't worry. I can find someone to help."
Qin Fang just thought that the other party was comforting him. After all, these days, strong laborers are busy working in the fields to earn work points. Who has time to help a girl pick mulberry leaves?
Ruan Fu pursed her lips and smiled. She had just thought about it quickly in her mind. It was indeed too tiring to do this job by herself. The adults in the village had to go to the fields to earn work points, so naturally they had no time to pay attention to her, but there were still half-grown children!
Don’t treat mung beans as food!
These children are very skilled at climbing trees and swimming in rivers. They can't do other heavy work, but they have no problem picking mulberry leaves from all over the mountains.
Ruan Fu was only responsible for collection and transportation. She would buy a pound of mulberry leaves at five cents and sell them in the city, and the remaining twenty-five cents profit would be hers.
She expressed her thoughts, and to be honest, she felt like a capitalist in later generations, squeezing human labor to the extreme.
Qin Fang looked at her seriously, his expression slightly surprised.
He had never thought of this method at first. After all, it was generally assumed that children were not considered labor force. However, Ruan Fu was able to think of taking advantage of this, which was indeed very smart.
As the two were talking, the car arrived at the entrance of the village.
Ruan Fu said thank you and was about to open the door and get out of the car.
"Afu," Qin Fang suddenly called her, "Wait a minute, I have something to give you."
Ruan Fu rarely heard him speak in such a serious tone and was stunned for a moment.
Looking back, I saw the other party taking out a small round black stick.
It looks like a flashlight, but it seems to be different from an ordinary flashlight, after all, there is no light bulb in the front.
Ruan Fu widened her eyes and suddenly had a guess in her mind. There shouldn't be such high-tech gadgets in this day and age, right?
"Is this a flashlight?"
Qin Fang shook his head and started demonstrating it to her.
"No, there's a switch here. If someone gets close to you, just press it and then put it on their skin. They'll be knocked unconscious immediately and won't be able to do any harm to you."
What flashlight? Ruan Fu now understood that it was actually a stun gun.
In her previous life, she had also bought a civilian one to protect herself.
But in this era, this kind of thing is hard currency and will definitely not be open to ordinary people. You can't get it just by spending money. The most important thing is to rely on connections.
Qin Fang must have put a lot of thought into it to get it in such a short time. This is more sincere than just treating him to a few meals.
Ruan Fu's heart warmed, and she was speechless for a moment. Where on earth did this guy learn these tricks? He was so good at pleasing girls.
Seeing her silence, Qin Fang thought she was frightened, and quickly explained: "The back of this is made of plastic, it won't hurt you. I thought the world is a bit chaotic, and you often run around alone, so it would be safer to carry this with you."
Ruan Fu said "hmm" softly and reached out to take it. It would be a lie to say that she was not touched that the other party was willing to spend so much time on her.
With this thing, I don’t have to worry about encountering ordinary hooligans.
As for the conspiracy between Ruan Hongxing and the others to plot against him, it no longer poses a threat.
Qin Fang felt relieved when he saw that she finally accepted it.
In the past, other girls always chased after him, and he just had to reject them with a cold face.
This was the first time he took the initiative to show his affection to a girl, and he was really inexperienced.
Especially since Ruan Fu has a very stubborn personality. After being rejected by the other party when he asked for money last time, he has been thinking about how to make the other party accept it.
After much thought, he used several connections overnight and finally found this way to protect himself.
Seeing the expression on Ruan Fu's face, Qin Fang knew that this gift had touched the girl's heart, and he felt a little proud.
Things are promising! With a little more effort, Afu will definitely be willing to accept him! Qin Fang is very confident in himself!
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two people is just right. Anyone who doesn't take advantage of this situation is a fool.
Seeing that they were about to part, Qin Fang immediately got out of the car and said happily, "Let me walk with you."
Ruan Fu had no reason to refuse, so the two of them walked back along the village road.
"Afu," Qin Fang glanced at the girl next to him and said casually, "You told Tiantian before that you wanted to apply to a university in Beijing. Is that true?"
Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. He is now even using military tactics.
Ruan Fu smiled. "Brother Qin, do you think I'm dreaming? Jing City represents the highest institution of learning. Personally, I really want to go there, but which school I choose to apply to will depend on my college entrance examination scores."
Qin Fang listened silently.
Although he didn't know what Ruan Fu's grades were like, she must be good to say such things. Besides, he always felt that Afu was very clever, which was different from other girls.
"If you want to take the test, just don't put too much pressure on yourself. By the way, last time I saw you saving that old man on the street, had you ever learned first aid?"
Ruan Fu hesitated, not knowing how to explain. She couldn't tell the other party that she was a doctor of medicine in her previous life, right?
He spoke vaguely, "I'm quite interested in medicine. There was an educated youth who went to the countryside who was a doctor. I learned from him for a few days. Last time, the situation was critical, and I did that subconsciously."
Qin Fang was secretly shocked when he heard this. He later consulted an expert and learned that most regular doctors might not have that kind of reaction speed. How could someone achieve such a professional level just by learning from them for a few days? Ruan Fu was a genius!
As a result, I hope even more that she can pass the exam and go to Beijing as soon as possible.
It's a rare occasion for me to fall in love with such a smart girl. She's also pretty. She must be very popular with boys. I feel more at ease if she's in the same place with me.
Both of them have outstanding figures and looks, and they attract countless people's attention when they just walk around the village.
Among them, there are many young men who have feelings for Ruan Fu.
Originally, after hearing that she had separated from the Ruan family, he was a little eager to take the initiative to show his courtesy, but he never expected that there was such a handsome man by the side of this girl. Just standing there was enough to outshine everyone else.
The young men immediately lost interest and even greeted him perfunctorily.
Ruan Fu didn't know that by just wandering around, she had destroyed all the peach blossoms in the village.
But her attention was not here at all. She looked around and found her target immediately.
