Chen Jiali forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, her heart heavy with sorrow, unable to utter a word.
Many times, she doubted whether she was her parents' biological child.
Ye Weiwei sighed silently to herself, "We can't choose our parents, but we can choose to live our own lives well. Chen Jiali, we're all adults now. Since we can't rely on our parents, we should just live our own lives well."
"Can I...? They are, after all, my parents..."
Xu Meijun rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Besides asking you to send food home, what else did they say in their letters? Did they ask if you were doing well here, if you needed anything, if you had enough to eat, or if you were warm enough to wear?"
With each sentence Xu Meijun spoke, Chen Jiali's head drooped a little lower.
Xu Meijun sneered, "What's the point of having parents who don't care whether you live or die? Anyway, you're in the countryside now, far from the reach of the emperor. Even if they're angry, they can't do anything to you. Let them die!"
Chen Jiali was persuaded by Xu Meijun and Ye Weiwei, and crumpled the letter in her hand into a ball and threw it into the stove to burn.
"You're right, I need to survive first!"
Ye Weiwei and Xu Meijun exchanged a smile.
In the afternoon, Ye Weiwei went to give Huo Xiao his last acupuncture treatment.
Huo Xiao's leg has finally recovered thanks to Ye Weiwei's treatment over the past month.
After confirming that his leg had fully recovered, Huo Xiao excitedly picked up Ye Weiwei and spun her around. His first words were, "Wife, let's go get our marriage certificate first thing tomorrow morning!"
Ye Weiwei: ……
"The grain will be distributed tomorrow."
"It's alright, we'll go early in the morning and come back early, it won't delay us."
Ye Weiwei: "No! We'll go after we've distributed the grain."
Huo Xiao looked down at Ye Weiwei pitifully and said, "But I can't wait to settle things with you!"
Ye Weiwei chuckled, "I can't run away anyway."
Huo Xiao took a deep breath: "Then let's wait until the grain is distributed tomorrow, and then we'll go get our marriage certificates first thing the day after tomorrow. After that, we can go for a trip to the county town."
After saying that, fearing that Ye Weiwei would disagree, he quickly added, "It's a good opportunity to go to the county hospital to see the rats."
Ye Weiwei found it amusing. She had only rejected this guy twice, so why was he still traumatized?
Deliberately wanting to tease him, Ye Weiwei pretended to be troubled and said, "After we get our marriage certificate, we won't be able to catch the bus to the county town."
It's such a long way, I can't possibly ride a bicycle there.
Huo Xiao didn't take it seriously at all. "Don't worry, this is not a problem. Just tell me if you agree or not!"
Ye Weiwei felt like she was being stared at by a cheetah; if she dared to disagree, she would be pounced on in the next second!
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow."
No sooner had she finished speaking than her lips were sealed tightly.
Huo Xiao's kiss was passionate and tender.
This guy's kissing skills have improved rapidly lately, teasing Ye Weiwei until she was panting heavily before reluctantly letting go.
Someone who benefited from the situation acted innocent, saying, "Just do some pre-study."
"Huo Xiao, you've changed. You've become shameless!"
He's no longer the innocent, big, lovable wolfhound he used to be!
After the two flirted for a while, Huo Xiao finally took Ye Weiwei back to the educated youth settlement.
When Xu Meijun saw Huo Xiao and Ye Weiwei traveling together, she was momentarily stunned by their good looks and handsome appearance.
After Huo Xiao left, she circled Ye Weiwei twice, raised her chin, and snorted, "You better watch yourself. You're not married yet, don't be silly and let someone take advantage of you!"
Ye Weiwei looked at the proud little peacock with amusement and didn't hide anything: "We're going to get our marriage certificate the day after tomorrow."
"What?! Weiwei, you're going to get your marriage certificate with Huo Xiao?!"
Zhao Mingzhe suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and his loud voice startled everyone in the educated youth settlement, who all looked at Ye Weiwei.
Ye Weiwei glanced coldly at Zhao Mingzhe, "What's it to you!"
Zhao Mingzhe became anxious, "You... how could you be so hasty about your marriage! Weiwei, actually I was deceived by Ye Wanwan before. I realized that I still love you. I regret it. Don't marry Huo Xiao. Let's make up, okay?"
During the autumn harvest, Zhao Mingzhe was so exhausted that he almost lost half his life and didn't have a chance to talk to Ye Weiwei about these things. He originally planned to wait until the grain was distributed, then go to town to get the money sent from home to buy Ye Weiwei some small things to coax her before bringing up the matter of reconciliation.
Who knew he would overhear Ye Weiwei saying that she and Huo Xiao were going to get their marriage certificate the day after tomorrow.
He couldn't wait any longer, fearing that if he hesitated even a moment longer, he would never have another chance.
Ye Weiwei looked at Zhao Mingzhe as if he were a lunatic; this guy must have something seriously wrong with his head!
Xu Meijun exploded, "Zhao Mingzhe, have you no shame?! Who was it that always looked down on Ye Weiwei like she was nothing, teaming up with Ye Wanwan to bully her? Now that she's about to get married, you want to get back together with her! How can you be so jealous of Ye Weiwei's happiness?!"
Zhao Mingzhe argued vehemently, "We've known each other for so many years, we grew up together as childhood sweethearts, how can Huo Xiao compare? They've only known each other for a few days! Besides, Weiwei was just throwing a tantrum at me before!"
After saying that, he looked at Ye Weiwei with a deeply affectionate expression, which made Ye Weiwei so disgusted that she almost threw up her dinner from the night before.
Damn it, when she was reading the book she only thought Zhao Mingzhe was hypocritical and pretentious, but she didn't say that Zhao Mingzhe was also a lunatic!
Chen Jiali weakly said, "But you and Ye Wanwan went through the woods."
Zhao Mingzhe seemed to have been choked, but quickly retorted, "I was deceived by her. She shamelessly seduced me!"
"Ye Weiwei! You tolerated all this!" Xu Meijun glared at Ye Weiwei, her eyes blazing with anger.
Ye Weiwei's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "I can't stand it!"
After saying that, he grabbed Zhao Mingzhe by the collar and slammed him against the wall.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Ah... Ye Weiwei..."
"Murder!"
"Help……"
Zhao Mingzhe's screams echoed through the sky!
"Ye Weiwei, you..." Liu Xiangqian saw Zhao Mingzhe's face covered in blood and was about to tell Ye Weiwei to stop when he was frozen by a look from her. He subconsciously changed his words: "Good for you!"
Hou Zheng: "Zhao Mingzhe is so shameless, he deserves to be taught a lesson!"
Xie Ning felt Ye Weiwei's gaze sweep over her and was so frightened that she quickly said, "I, I think Ye Zhiqing and Comrade Huo Xiao are a very good match."
Wu Yue: "They're getting married already, what's the point of saying all this? Where were you before!"
Seeing that no one in the educated youth settlement spoke up for him, Zhao Mingzhe simply closed his eyes and pretended to faint.
Ye Weiwei threw him on the ground and stepped on his pressure point, causing Zhao Mingzhe to scream and wake up again.
"Are you awake yet? If not, I wouldn't mind helping you wake up a bit more?"
