This was Ruan Jiu's first time visiting Xiangyang Brigade. He was presentable and well-dressed, attracting the attention of many people along the way.
After all, in this day and age, even a few patches on a person's clothes were considered precious, but Ruan Jiu dressed so well that she was clearly different from them.
Ruan Jiu was used to people scrutinizing her and didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She smiled and asked an old man who looked like a farmer where Ling Heng was.
While Shi Lingheng was working hard in the field, he saw Ruan Jiu standing not far away with her arms crossed, looking like she was watching a commotion.
Li Dafu had already received the news. When a stranger came and saw Ruan Jiu, he took a puff of his cigarette and walked over: "Sir, what brings you to our village?"
Ruan Jiu was quite polite, pointing to Shi Lingheng not far away: "He is my friend, I came to see him, sorry to bother you."
Upon hearing his purpose, Li Dafu pondered for a moment. Shi Zhiqing was a law-abiding person and his friend, so there was no need to worry too much.
Wen Yuennan wasn't too surprised to see Ruan Jiu. She had done her research before she arrived and knew that Ruan Jiu had come to Qingcheng because of some issues.
The information she received also described the relationship between Ruan Jiu and Shi Lingheng, so she was not surprised by Ruan Jiu's arrival.
However, the weather was still so hot, and the sweat was sticky and uncomfortable all over her body. But she was determined to keep up with the work points earned by those adult men.
Jiang Yi was not far from her. Seeing her sway slightly, she quickly reached out to steady her and said curtly, "Be careful."
She didn't like Fan Xiaofan, but she didn't like Wen Yuennan either. At least Fan Xiaofan wouldn't interfere in other people's affairs, but this Wen Yuennan was simply unbearable to her since she came here. After all, she was already tired enough every day, and she had to listen to someone nagging on and on...
They complained that her things weren't arranged neatly, that she cooked slowly, and earnestly told her that she should have a never-give-up attitude and earn work points like an adult man, just like her.
Jiang Yi just wanted to laugh...
She's practically dying from barely managing to finish her chores every day...
You go ahead and strive for your own success, why are you dragging me into this? I'm just a degenerate person.
Jiang Yi felt that she was definitely the kind of person who would never do a job if given the chance.
Originally, she thought Ling Heng was efficient at his work and had a good family background, so she wanted to curry favor with him. But it turned out that her flirting was a waste of time, and she rejected his idea.
Her brother advised her that at least for now, life was peaceful and stable, and that they needed to be well so that they could see their father again.
Wen Yuennan smiled and said to Jiang Yi, "Thank you."
Jiang Yi twitched her lips, not wanting to pay any more attention to Wen Yuennan. She thought that if Wen Yuennan knew that her father had been labeled a bad element, who knew what she would do with her radical ideology.
In that case, there's no need to be friends.
Shi Lingheng's work was coming to an end. There was a place to drink water at the edge of the field, so everyone could take a short break. He patted the mud off his body. Although he couldn't get it all off, he still had to go through the motions.
What brings you here?
He poured a ladle of water directly into his mouth, and more water flowed down his neck, mingling with sweat, exuding a powerful masculine charm.
Ruan Jiu remained unfazed, clicking her tongue twice with a sarcastic remark: "It's a real pity I'm not a woman, otherwise I'd be staring wide-eyed..."
