"Brother Heng, I heard you were bravely injured. Is it serious? You didn't even tell me about something this big." Wang Fushun was stunned when he heard this in his village.
Wang Fushun had complete faith that Shen Heng was capable of such a thing.
But even though he'd been coming to collect the goods for so many days, Shen Heng hadn't given him a single word.
"What injury?"
"It's that human trafficker. You didn't tell me about something this serious so I could brag about it and say you're my brother. Where exactly are you hurt?"
"Hurt my ass! Those two boogers can't hurt me, who the hell told you that?"
Isn't this an insult?
Shen Heng felt that some of the women in the village were gossipy and prone to spreading rumors, turning a sesame seed into a watermelon.
“That’s what everyone in our village says,” Wang Fushun replied.
"From your village?"
Who says good news doesn't travel far? In just a few days, the news has already reached the neighboring villages.
"It may have already spread to other communes by now."
"..." Shen Heng felt utterly humiliated. "You should find someone to spread the word for me. I wasn't hurt at all. Damn it, which gossipy person spread rumors that I'm a coward."
Upon hearing Shen Heng's words, Wang Fushun knew that it was most likely a rumor, but he laughed and said:
"Wouldn't being wounded heroically further demonstrate your great contribution?"
"What's the use? Catching two human traffickers and getting injured in the process, I'll be laughed at to death. I might as well give up my life."
Shen Heng always had his own special insistence on strange things. Wang Fushun smiled and agreed. In addition to the rice noodles, he also took away more than 800 meat floss cakes that Bai Jiaojiao had already made.
"Come to my place tonight, I need to talk to you about something."
“Okay. Heng-ge, I can gather the tickets you mentioned last time, and I'll bring them to you tonight.”
Wang Fushun didn't ask any more questions; he needed to deliver the meat floss cakes to the town before the people went to work.
Bai Jiaojiao finally finished ordering the pork floss cakes. With some free time, she started looking through the books she had bought in town a few days ago.
Some of the high school knowledge had faded from Bai Jiaojiao's mind, but seeing the notes in this book, Bai Jiaojiao sighed that the owner of this book was indeed not just putting on a show.
It was worth the ten dollars.
When Shen Heng entered the house, he saw Bai Jiaojiao reading by lamplight. It was only three o'clock. "Why are you awake?" he asked.
"I woke up when I heard you make a sound."
Bai Jiaojiao lovingly touched the book in her hand and found a Chinese textbook: "Heng-ge, come here."
Normally, Bai Jiaojiao would never wake up at this time, but today she is unusually excited.
Shen Heng leaned closer, hugged his wife, and listened to her read the text to him.
Bai Jiaojiao made pork floss cakes at home for three days and didn't go to work for those three days.
When she went back to the field, she saw a small baby being held up by a cloth bag behind Huang Meijuan.
"Sister Meijuan, why did you bring your child to work?"
Bai Jiaojiao asked a question casually, and then saw Huang Meijuan's tears fall.
"What's wrong?"
I didn't expect Huang Meijuan to be so emotional; she must have suffered a great injustice.
Bai Jiaojiao thought to herself that although she couldn't help, she could at least listen to her vent.
Huang Meijuan then turned to Bai Jiaojiao and complained, "My mother-in-law is so biased. I suspect my husband isn't her biological son!"
"ah?"
Chen Hong chimed in from the side: "Don't listen to her nonsense. Her sister-in-law is in labor and everything is inconvenient for her, so her mother-in-law went over there."
Because of her act of bravery, Chen Hong's attitude towards Bai Jiaojiao has improved.
