Chapter 13 Scumbag

Lin Chen was a little stunned.

Shen Ruoqing had never spoken to him in this tone before.

In his eyes, Shen Ruoqing was the delicate and gentle girl who always spoke softly and would blush when she saw him.

How come after not seeing each other for a while, she became so vulgar and treated him like this? It seems that Taohua was right. Shen Ruoqing really changed a little after hitting his head.

"I was at school, and after I came back I heard that you hit your head, so I came to see you as soon as possible."

It must be said that Lin Chen's appearance was quite good. He was 1.75 meters tall, thin and tall, with short hair, a high nose bridge, and a white shirt with a slightly open collar and rolled up sleeves. It must be said that he had a good appearance, no wonder the original owner liked him.

"Now that you've seen the person, you can go." Shen Ruoqing was not happy with Lin Chen. She said it was nice to come over to see him the first time, but why didn't she bring some things to visit him at her own home? Why did she run to the place where she was digging wild vegetables without bringing anything?

"Ruoqing, why do I feel like you've become more distant from me? Is it because I didn't come back last week? Are you in love with someone else?"

Lin Chen looked at Shen Ruoqing with a somewhat resentful look, as if Shen Ruoqing was a heartless man.

"Don't say things that might cause misunderstanding. We aren't familiar with each other to begin with." Shen Ruoqing said coldly.

"Ruoqing, my school has an opportunity to go to another province for a competition next week, but you have to bring your own food and other things." Lin Chen looked at Shen Ruoqing with some embarrassment, but Shen Ruoqing seemed not to see him. She ignored Lin Chen and continued to dig wild vegetables.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth. In the past, Shen Ruoqing would have offered to give him food and money if the conversation had come to this point. But what happened to her today? After a while, Shen Ruoqing looked up and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed and wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought about the money and food, he endured it.

"Ruoqing, didn't you say you would help me finish my studies? This out-of-province competition is very important to me. Being able to show my face in front of the school leaders and getting a letter of recommendation from them will make it easier to find a job..."

"Is there any benefit for me in helping you finish your studies?" Shen Ruoqing said calmly, looking at Lin Chen, "Hasn't my help to you been enough before? You only thanked me verbally for so much money and food, but there is no real benefit for me. Why should I continue to help you?"

"Ruoqing, isn't it the best reward for you when I graduate from high school and find a good job? You are still young now, and when that time comes, I can..." Lin Chen hesitated to speak. He wanted to see shyness on Shen Ruoqing's face, but there was none.

"Can you, what? Can you come and marry me?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a while. Although Shen Ruoqing was good-looking and treated him well, if he really found a job, he would definitely find a city wife in the future, so he never gave Shen Ruoqing a clear promise. But now he still had to rely on Shen Ruoqing's help to go to school, so Lin Chen just hesitated for a while and nodded.

"Oh."

Shen Ruoqing smiled. She had noticed Lin Chen's hesitation. If this guy had been more honest, she would have thought highly of him. But now, it was obvious that he wanted to deceive an ignorant girl like her. Scumbag! "But I don't want to marry you!"

How is this possible?

Lin Chen's first reaction was that Shen Ruoqing knew about his high school classmate. Then he immediately rejected this idea. Shen Ruoqing had been in the village all the time, how could he know about his high school classmate? There must be some other reason for Shen Ruoqing's change of attitude. But Lin Chen felt that Shen Ruoqing was still angry with him.

Lin Chen said unhappily: "Ruoqing, do you know what you are saying? Forget it, if you don't want to help me, forget it!"

He gave her so much face!

Seeing Lin Chen run away angrily, Shen Ruoqing felt relieved. No one should ever treat her as an ATM machine again!

After driving the scumbag away, Shen Ruoqing continued to hum a song while digging wild vegetables.

"Ding - Yam was found 50 meters to the left."

Shen Ruoqing's eyes lit up. Yams are good stuff! Although this season is not a good season to dig yams, who cares about it now? It's good to have something to eat! This is very good food and can be eaten as a staple food. Shen Ruoqing was just worried that there was nothing to improve the food, and here it came!

She started digging immediately, but the small piece of yam was hidden by the bushes and was not discovered.

About ten pounds of yam were dug up. The price given by the system mall was 60 cents per pound, but Shen Ruoqing didn't lack this little money, so he decided to take it back to improve the diet for his family. Yams are good for the spleen and stomach!

Next, they dug up some medicinal herbs one after another, earning a total of more than 60 yuan. Only then did Shen Ruoqing carry the basket back.

After returning home, Shen Ruoqing was naturally praised by Old Lady Ji again.

…

Today Shen Ruoqing got up earlier than last time because he had to drive the team's ox cart. If he got up late or left late, there would be no seat. Shen Ruoqing didn't want to walk on his own two legs.

Before leaving, Old Mrs. Ji even stuffed money into Shen Ruoqing's pocket.

"Mom, I have money on me." He took out a dozen yuan.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

My goodness, last time Grandma Ji gave Shen Xiangbei money to buy food, both in small and large amounts, and she thought that was all the family savings. She didn't expect that Grandma Ji still had another trick up her sleeve.

Seeing that Shen Ruoqing had more money on her than she did, Old Lady Ji didn't force it on her.

"Spend your money sparingly, and go directly to your fourth brother's house when you get there." Old Lady Ji was afraid that Shen Ruoqing would go to eat noodles again, so she went directly to Shen Xiangbei's house. For the sake of a fat rabbit, could it be that Shen Xiangbei couldn't treat Shen Ruoqing well? "Okay, Mom."

Fortunately, Shen Ruoqing came out early, and there were only three seats left on the ox cart.

Shen Ruoqing paid five cents and got on. After waiting for a while, when the ox cart was full of people, the uncle driving the ox cart waved his whip and slowly set off.

"Ruoqing girl, what's in your basket? Why is it covered with a black cloth?"

A nosy aunt asked.

"It's the acorn flour my mother gave to my fourth brother." Shen Ruoqing replied. Anyway, no one would really open it now.

"Life in the city is already hard, and your fourth brother still wants your mother to help him? That's not right. Didn't your fourth brother just bring back some food two days ago?"

"I did carry a little, half of it to help my family, and the other half was exchanged by my mother for acorn flour to send back to him. Aunt, you don't know, the city is only slightly better than our country now, and we can't buy food either, there is not enough food to eat. Now I heard that modern food has appeared in the city! You will know when you go there today. No matter how poor our country is, we still live by the mountains and rivers."
