Chapter 6: Tooth for Tooth
The whole family was in chaos.
Liu Mei, however, knew nothing and just lay on the kang in the outer room and hummed.
She was so angry that all her arrangements were ruined by that damn girl, and in the end, Zhiguo couldn't even keep his place in high school.
Ruan Dajiang is still making money in the county town and doesn't know this news.
How would I explain it to myself when we meet again in the future?
"Sister-in-law," someone knocked on the door. Liu Mei looked up and saw that the person who came was Ruan Laoer's wife.
"What are you doing here?" Liu Mei frowned. This woman had no good intentions.
Sun Hongxia looked concerned: "I saw that you didn't have dinner, so I brought you a sweet potato."
As soon as Liu Mei saw that thing, she felt even more upset.
"I don't want to eat it, take it away."
Who knew that Sun Hongxia not only didn't leave, but came even closer.
Whispered: "Sister-in-law, are you worried about Zhiguo's schooling?"
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic.
Liu Mei said sourly: "I am not as lucky as you. If there is a college student in the future, you can enjoy the good life with him."
"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood," Sun Hongxia said quickly, "In fact, I think Zhiguo is just starting high school. He is going to do great things, and when the time comes, our Ruan family will have to rely on him."
Liu Mei remained silent. This person was pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth. If he really thought so, why didn't he say so this afternoon? Now he was pretending to be nice.
A hint of malice flashed in Sun Hongxia's eyes as she stated her purpose.
"Sister-in-law, I've thought about it. I can't let Fuzi decide everything. If she gets married and has a baby, she probably won't have the heart to continue studying."
The conversation went further and further, and Liu Mei felt that the other party was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her.
"She's not stupid, how could she possibly be happy with this? She even threatened to cancel the engagement today!"
Sun Hongxia smiled contemptuously.
"It's up to her whether to retreat or not. If we just make it a done deal, she won't be able to escape."
Ruan Fu stood up from the corner with an expressionless face and brushed the dirt off her body.
She knew that Sun Hongxia had bad intentions and would not easily give her a place in high school.
But she didn't expect that the other party would want to kill someone with her help so soon, and the whole family planned to take turns sucking her blood.
You will suffer the consequences if you commit evil deeds. Don't blame yourself for being so cruel.
Night falls.
Many people were enjoying the cool air in the threshing ground.
Ruan Fu walked closer and immediately saw Lu Lijun outside the crowd.
Just like in his previous life, this man was still tall and fair-skinned, standing out among a group of dark and rough men. No wonder Ruan Hongxing liked to flirt with him now.
He was an educated youth sent to the countryside, but because his personality offended his superiors, he was never able to return to the city.
It is precisely because of this that his character became more gloomy and he became silent all day long.
In my previous life, I was really blind. I was attracted by these characteristics and thought that this man was honest and reliable. In addition, Ruan Hongxing and her daughter kept whispering in my ears, so I felt that I had met true love and married him wholeheartedly.
I thought I was heading towards happiness, but I never expected that I had already fallen into the other party's scheme.
In the end, he was drained of his bones and marrow and died tragically on the street.
This time she's going to fight back.
Count clearly the pain inflicted on you by the other party, including the cost and interest.
"Lu Lijun," she called out.
The man turned his head, his eyes full of coldness.
He had some impression of the girl in front of him. She was pretty, especially when she smiled.
In the past, I would occasionally stuff myself with an egg or some saved toffee.
It's a pity that she probably did farm work all year round, so her skin is a little dark and her personality is dull. Compared with the sweet-mouthed and coquettish Ruan Hongxing, she is really a fairy and a country girl.
Thinking of this, he responded coldly, "What's the matter?"
"I'm Hong Xing's sister. She asked me to tell you to wait until the village is quiet tonight and then go find her in the house."
If she was not mistaken, the two of them were currently at the peak of their relationship, and she could take advantage of this.
Later, when Lu Lijun was sure that he could not return to the city, Ruan Hongxing completely turned against him and refused to marry a poor educated youth.
Sun Hongxia then turned her evil intentions on herself and tricked her into marrying him...
Sure enough, Lu Lijun frowned and his mind suddenly became active.
I had agreed to keep my relationship with Ruan Hongxing a secret for now.
How come her sister came here in the blink of an eye?
Is there anyone else who knows about this?
Ruan Hongxing is so anxious, could it be that she wants to force him to get married as soon as possible?
That won’t do!
No matter how delicate and tender Ruan Hongxing is, she is just a country girl after all.
As an educated youth who went to the countryside, he must return to the city in the future. Is he going to be tied to a village girl for the rest of his life?
"What did you say? I don't understand."
"I don't understand." Ruan Fu just pretended to be impatient. "Hong Xing said that something was urgent, so she asked me to pass on the message. She also said that there was a red cloth tied on the backyard door. You can go and see for yourself."
When the relationship between these two people was at its peak, red ribbons would appear in the backyard from time to time.
I discovered this several times in my previous life, but unfortunately my mind was not focused on it at the time and I didn’t think about it carefully.
After hearing this, Lu Lijun believed it a little.
Things like the red ribbon are too secretive. If the person involved doesn't say it himself, no one else will know about it.
"Okay, I'll go later."
"Don't forget," Ruan Fu said seriously, "Hong Xing said it's something very important."
She turned and tried to leave.
"Hey, your name is Ruan Fu, right?" The person behind her suddenly called her.
Ruan Fu raised her eyebrows. It turned out that this person knew her name.
"The candy you gave me last time was very sweet."
If it were before, if the other party was willing to talk to her actively, Ruan Fu would probably be happy for several days.
But now, looking at that extremely familiar face, she only felt disgusted.
"That's not mine. Hong Xing asked me to give it to you."
As the night deepened, the village gradually became quiet.
Ruan Fu turned off the lights and lay on the kang, her eyes wide open, listening carefully to the movements outside the yard.
With a "click" sound.
She heard the front gate being gently pushed open, followed by the sound of light footsteps, as if heading towards the next house.
People are coming!
She immediately got up, quietly went out, and walked to the window at the base of the wall next door.
Later there was a rustling noise in the room.
"Why are you here? What if someone sees us?"
It was Ruan Hongxing's voice.
"I saw the red ribbon on the gate and knew you missed me."
The man's tone was frivolous, completely different from his seriousness during the day.
Then there was another blushing and heartbeating sound.
Ruan Fu listened expressionlessly, and felt that the time was almost right, so she found a thick wooden stick to block the window.
He grabbed a handful of pebbles and secretly walked to Old Lady Ruan's door, throwing them one by one at her window.
After what happened today, Mrs. Ruan was so heartbroken that she couldn't sleep at all.
Ruan Fu had just thrown a stone when there was a commotion in the house.
"Who's out there so late at night?"
