Wen Yuennan originally planned to follow Shi Lingheng closely today, but Wen Minting's sudden appearance ruined her plans.
When she looked for him again, he was gone.
She was really losing patience. Wen Minting was still standing there with her hands on her hips, spouting self-righteous nonsense. She dragged her to the Wen family home and told Wen's father to deal with her.
A fool like Wen Minting shouldn't know too much, so as soon as she arrived at the Wen family home, she was locked in a room.
After Wen Yuennan briefly explained the situation, Wen's father slapped his beard and glared at her, while Wen's mother said awkwardly, "Ting'er didn't do it on purpose. She didn't know anything, so it's inevitable that she would misunderstand. You're too kind to hold a grudge."
This time, Wen Yuennan wasn't as agreeable as before; her voice turned cold: "Aunt, if you continue like this, in the future..."
Her eyes were icy cold, which startled Wen's mother, who immediately took a step back and held out her hand, saying, "I will definitely keep a close eye on her from now on. Even if she doesn't know anything, it's not her fault, it's not her fault..."
When Wen Yuennan was about to return to Xiangyang Brigade and went to the place Grandpa Niu had mentioned, she did not see Shi Lingheng.
So he asked, "Wasn't it the agreed time? Why didn't Shi Zhiqing come...?"
Grandpa Niu said nonchalantly, "Someone greeted me and said that Shi, the educated youth, went back first..."
Wen Yuennan felt uneasy. He didn't know what Shi Lingheng had done during the time he had disappeared from his sight...
What if something goes wrong?
Wen Yuennan no longer dared to be as arrogant and complacent as before. Wu Ying had an accident right in front of them. How could it be such a coincidence? Wu Ying had been frozen in the yard all night, unable to use her hands and feet or speak.
Shi Lingheng was strong and healthy, and he didn't find the journey from Qingcheng to Xiangyang Brigade particularly arduous. Meanwhile, when Grandpa Niu and Wen Yuennan's oxcart was almost at the village entrance, they happened to run into Shi Lingheng walking briskly.
Grandpa Niu greeted him warmly: "You're so energetic... You're a young man after all, you have inexhaustible strength..."
Shi Lingheng smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just a bit too energetic."
Wen Yuennan got out of the car and followed Shi Lingheng, relentlessly asking him about his itinerary for most of the day.
Shi Lingheng paused for a moment, then spoke very solemnly: "Wen Zhiqing, I have no interest in you, and I have no plans to settle down and start a family right now. A girl like you, always following a man around, is very troubling to me..."
Wen Yuennan was stunned for a moment, and Shi Lingheng turned and left after he finished speaking. When she realized what Shi Lingheng meant, she quickly became so angry that her face turned red.
She had no romantic feelings for Shi Lingheng.
But by then the two had already entered the village entrance, and Shi Lingheng's words were overheard by a group of women talking at the village entrance.
They glanced at her, their lips curling in disdain: "Tell me, with her looks, how could she possibly be interested in Shi Zhiqing? Anyone with eyes can see that Shi Zhiqing is much better to our Xiao Fan. They seem like a perfect match..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Xiao Fan is still so young... You mustn't say such things, it's ruining the child's reputation..."
"Oh dear, I'm so bad at talking. Let's not even talk about Xiao Fan. Look at her, since she came to our village, she's been talking so loudly, like she can do so much work. But look at how much she's actually done! Now look at her, shamelessly following men around. She's really made us women lose all face..."
"Isn't that right? Didn't you hear how impatient the educated youth were back then..."
