Yan Sisi was immediately nervous when she was reminded of yesterday's incident. She didn't know if what she said would scare the man away. After thinking for a while, she said, "Gu Jingping, I want to know what you like about me? You've seen my temper, which is not very good. I don't like cooking, and the term "virtuous wife and good mother" definitely doesn't apply to me. There was also a childhood engagement that broke off. The person was the one you met yesterday. Are you really willing to be with me like this?"

She thought about it for a long time yesterday. Although she did have some differences towards Gu Jingping, she was still afraid that he would dislike her after knowing them. So it was better to say some things in advance, so as to avoid saying that he didn't like her because of these things after she agreed to it and developed feelings for him.

Gu Jingping saw the subtle uneasiness in her eyes and said firmly, "You have a bad temper, but I have a good temper and we complement each other; you don't like cooking, but I like to study cooking and I hope you don't mind. Although you have said a lot of bad things about yourself, in my eyes you are the best. Everyone has shortcomings, and I am not perfect. Besides, I am already 25 years old this year, and you are only 19 years old. I am afraid that you will be too idle to care about me."

Gu Jingping finally replied: "You asked me what I like about you. I can't tell you the feeling. It's just that when I see you, my heart beats faster. When I can't see you, I feel empty inside. When you are angry, I want to make you happy. When you are happy, I want to laugh with you. That feeling cannot be expressed in words."

Yan Sisi had never heard such beautiful words before, and the violent beating of her heart already revealed her answer.

Yan Sisi looked at Gu Jingping earnestly with her bright eyes, smiled happily and said to him: "Please give me more advice in the future, Jingping."

After saying that, without waiting for him to react, he turned around excitedly and ran towards the car, completely ignoring Gu Jingping who was standing there in a daze behind him.

Yan Sisi climbed into the car and squeezed between her parents' seats with a smile. When she looked out the window, she saw Gu Jingping standing stupidly not far away, with a silly smile on his handsome face. When he saw her, he immediately waved.

Yan Sisi waved despite the curious looks from others. Even after the car started away, she could still see Gu Jingping standing behind and looking at her.

Yan's mother and father smiled at each other. Seeing them like this, they knew there was nothing they didn't understand. After all, they had also been through that time.

After riding in a car or donkey cart for half a day, Yan Sisi just jumped off the donkey cart when she heard a noisy sound not far away.

Yan Sisi looked over there curiously. They were all gathered together to watch the fun in such a cold day. They really weren't afraid of the cold.

While walking, I kept my ears erect, listening to the movements there.

"This is going to be fun."

"Who says it's not true? When did that blockhead Liu Laoer give birth to such a smart girl? I didn't notice it before."

"Tang Mingze's family is from J City, his grandfather is a university professor, and his father is an official. How could he possibly bring Xiaoying back home as his daughter-in-law?"

When Yan Sisi heard her cousin's name, she stopped walking, pulled her mother in front of her and whispered, "Mom, they seem to be talking about my cousin."

"What happened to your cousin?"

Yan Sisi was not very clear either. She glanced at the crowded crowd and slowly squeezed in from the back. When she squeezed in, she found that a woman was holding her brother's hand and crying loudly. She pulled the auntie next to her and asked, "Auntie Li, what happened?"

"Sisi is back." Li Cuihua turned her head to look at Yan Sisi, then turned back to continue watching the lively scene, gossiping, "You may not know, but Tang Mingze, who was previously sent down to our village, his grandfather and his father have been rehabilitated."

"Rehabilitated?" Yan Sisi couldn't believe what she heard. The vindication she had been waiting for had come just like that? Why didn't anyone tell them?

"Yes, everyone in the village says that Tang Mingze's family is powerful in J City. The daughter of Liu Laoer at the end of the village has set her sights on him. She just now insisted that Tang Mingze touched her hand and wanted him to be held responsible."

"Isn't it because I see someone getting rich and want to rely on him? You know, before I wanted to avoid him, but now I want to get close to him."

Tang Mingze, who was surrounded in the middle, looked at his hands, frowned and said, "Let go."

"I won't let go. If you want to run away without taking responsibility, there's no way." Liu Ying said with full energy. If there weren't a few drops of almost dried tears on her face, no one would have been able to tell that she had cried.

Tang Mingze pulled his hand out with all his strength and said with a dark face, "You were the one who bumped into me. Why should I be held responsible?"

I pulled my hand out, but it was pulled back the next second. I don't know why it happened so quickly.

Seeing her cousin being held back and unable to walk, Yan Sisi helped out, “This is the first time I’ve seen a girl holding a man’s hand so shamelessly. Sister Xiaoying, you’re not trying to take advantage of him, are you?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of the two parties was drawn to him.

Tang Mingze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Yan Sisi appear. In recent days, whenever he went out, he would always encounter various things. If something hadn't happened today, he would not have gone down the mountain.

Liu Ying, who was holding Tang Mingze's hand, couldn't help blushing when Yan Sisi said that, and she retracted her hand. After all, she was an unmarried girl, and this was the first time she had done such a thing. If her mother hadn't kept talking to her, she wouldn't have been so moved as to suddenly do such a thing.

Now that so many people were watching him, he slowly calmed down. He lowered his head and thought carefully whether he had been seen when he bumped into someone. Only when he was sure that no one had noticed did he feel relieved and said pitifully, "Sisi, how could you think of me like this? I'm the one who was taken advantage of. Don't help him just because your two families are close."

She really miscalculated. If she had known Yan Sisi would come back today, she would have changed the time. You know, she is the girl in their village who has the closest relationship with Tang Mingze.

Yan Sisi said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoying. I misunderstood you because I saw you were holding him. By the way, didn't you say before that you hated Chou Laojiu the most? Why don't you hate him today but are holding him instead? Could it be that you want to get close to him because his family has been rehabilitated?"

Liu Ying had this in mind, but when someone said this to her face, her face turned pale and she said in defense: "How is that possible? It was Tang Mingze who first..."

Liu Ying said half of what she meant and left the other half, and the following scene left everyone with endless room for imagination.

The surrounding villagers must have sided with the people in the village, saying one after another: "Tang Mingze, you are too bullying. You can't bully us ordinary people just because your family has been rehabilitated."

"You have touched a girl, you must be responsible, otherwise you will be a hooligan."

Yan Sisi looked back at the people who were talking more and more biased. They were all people who had good relations with Liu Laoer's family. If they said it wasn't them who set up the trap, who would believe it? Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation. If it was anyone else, she might not be able to do anything, but Liu Ying! It's a piece of cake.

Yan Sisi held her mother's hand, looked towards her, lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, don't worry, I'll do it."

After saying that, he stared at Liu Ying and reminisced, "Sister Xiaoying, I saw you lost a red hairband when I went to the birch forest on the back mountain some time ago. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so I didn't have time to catch up with you. When I came down the mountain, I was distracted by other things and forgot to return it to you. I don't know if you still want it."

It happened when she was playing in the countryside before she went to school. She and her cousin went up the mountain to cut grass for pigs. On the way back, they found Liu Ying and another man they had never seen before, playing games hand in hand in the birch woods. She was wearing a red dress and a red headband on her head.

At that time, I just told my cousin to pretend that she saw nothing, but who knew it would be used here.

Could it be that she broke up with that man after not seeing him for a few months? Otherwise, why would she suddenly set her sights on her brother?

Liu Ying was about to take advantage of the situation to say something, but when she heard about the birch forest and the red headband, her face suddenly turned pale. She looked at the smiling Yan Sisi in panic. How could she have seen what happened that day, and how much did she see?

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ying knew that she couldn't go on making trouble, but she couldn't leave in shame, so she let go of Tang Mingze's hand, stood up and said, "Sister Sisi, maybe you saw it wrong, I haven't been to any birch forest..."

"Really?" Yan Sisi said only two words and nothing else. She let go of her brother's hand and was about to say something else when she heard the village chief's voice coming from behind her.

"Why are you all gathered here? If you have nothing to do, just go and dig a river." A powerful voice rang out from behind the crowd.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was the village chief. He said, "Oh, I have something to do at home, so I left first."

"Wait for me, I just need to talk to you about something."

Soon, the crowd that had just been watching the excitement dispersed. The village chief could still be heard scolding them from behind: "You are so idle all day long. If you had the time to watch the excitement, you would have done so much farm work."

Village chief Yan Youfu came over and looked at Liu Ying who was still standing there and said, "Why are you still standing here? You are not idle enough, do you want me to call people back and watch your performance again? If you have to take responsibility for bumping into people every day, you would have been married long ago, why did you become an old maid? Hurry and go back."

I worked too late last night and wrote too little code, so I didn't publish it. I'm sorry to all the little cuties who followed me last night and kept you waiting for a long time.
