Chapter 61 Upright and Honest
"I brought it with me!"
After saying that, she reached into her pocket without hesitation and rummaged around for a while.
This is a slightly yellowed thin paper with some creases along the edges.
The pen in question was borrowed from the brigade headquarters and had not yet been returned.
Although the ink was not plentiful, it was still enough to write words.
This is a tool she uses specifically for recording accounts, to check the household's food intake and expenditure, and other trivial matters such as small change income.
To her utter surprise, it came in handy at such a crucial moment.
He Dayong stood opposite, his gaze fixed on the pen Qiao Wanyin handed him.
He was completely stunned.
He looked at the slightly worn white paper and the black fountain pen.
Sweat was pouring uncontrollably from my forehead.
He was startled.
Who carries paper and pen with them when they go out?
This is so unusual!
Could it be...?
Was she prepared in advance?
He originally planned to casually make up a few words in front of everyone to embarrass her, so that he could gain an advantage.
Now she's seized the opportunity to make a claim; isn't this blatantly trying to undermine him?
But once the words are spoken, there's no going back; he's already brought it up.
If you back out now, you'll not only lose face, but you'll also be ridiculed for being cowardly.
He was still waiting for an opportunity to reveal his true intentions, and he needed to maintain appearances.
If we can successfully negotiate the terms today, and make Fu Li'an lose face and take the initiative to break off the engagement.
When that time comes, won't Qiao Wanyin naturally become his fiancée?
He even pre-booked his future wife!
With a "swish," the document was written down carefully, and the name was signed stroke by stroke.
After finishing writing, he even looked up and smiled, appearing confident and composed.
Seeing that the other party had indeed signed, Qiao Wanyin smiled slightly, her eyes turning cold as she didn't say another word.
Instead, he neatly folded the paper in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket.
He then lifted his foot and strode directly into the woods not far away.
In fact, she already had a plan in mind.
They had already planned this whole thing long before agreeing to the "signature exchange" scheme.
If this guy really resorts to violence or tricks, then don't blame her for showing no mercy.
Two hundred yuan is no small matter for her.
Now that she'd reached this point, she certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by easily.
At this moment, sunlight shines obliquely through the gaps in the trees onto the dirt road in the field.
Meanwhile, Fu Lian was slowly walking along this narrow country path.
The mud underfoot had dried and hardened for several days, making walking relatively easy.
But his steps were much slower than usual.
His mind kept replaying Qiao Wanyin's recent behavior and the rumors circulating in the village, and he felt conflicted...
Fu Lian stopped and stood by the roadside, his hands in his pockets, deep in thought for a while, frowning as he pondered.
Should he go back to the team now?
Should we go to the edge of the woods and see what happened?
Just then, a light and hurried footstep came from not far behind.
"Fu, the educated youth!"
A voice came from behind me.
Fang Wanyu, wearing a pair of red plastic sandals, jogged over.
Her hair was neatly combed, with two jet-black braids hanging down her shoulders and swaying from side to side.
With a light touch of makeup, she looked clean and serene.
When she saw him stop and look at her, she smiled slightly at him.
Seeing this, Fu Li'an just looked at her coldly.
He said calmly, "Comrade Fang, just say what's on your mind."
Upon hearing this, Fang Wanyu was not annoyed.
Instead, he took a small step closer and deliberately lowered his voice.
"It's not appropriate to talk here."
She glanced at the empty paths on either side, as if afraid someone might hear her.
Then he pointed ahead.
"Come with me first."
Fu Li'an hesitated for a moment, struggling with his inner conflict.
He didn't know whether he should go with that person.
However, an inexplicable curiosity and instinct drove him.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to follow.
As the sun sets, its orange-red rays illuminate the earth.
The two walked one after the other on a country road.
The setting sun cast their shadows long, long.
Fang Wanyu deliberately slowed down her pace.
As she pondered with her head down, she slowly approached Fu Lian'an.
That cautious look on his face.
She wanted to approach him in the most natural way possible, so that he would feel her presence.
"Actually... I didn't treat you well in my past life."
Fang Wanyu's eyes dimmed as she silently repeated those words in her heart.
She secretly vowed to herself that since God had given her a second chance...
I'll do everything I can to make up for the regrets of the past in this lifetime.
"I shouldn't have betrayed your feelings, and I shouldn't have hurt someone like you!"
Her hands clenched into fists.
"I must atone for my sins, and I must make it up to you!"
Just as they were about to leave the village.
"Fu Li'an, I have something important to tell you."
She paused, then said in a low voice, "I saw Qiao Wanyin and He Dayong from our village hugging each other yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Fu Lian was stunned, and his eyes widened suddenly.
His steady steps came to a halt, and the expression on his face turned bewildered.
He turned to look at Fang Wanyu, his gaze somewhat complicated.
"What did you say? Qiao Wanyin and He Dayong?"
Before he could finish speaking, a hint of doubt arose in his mind.
"I'm too lazy to get involved in this kind of thing."
Fang Wanyu continued speaking.
"But I think this is so unfair. A kind person like you shouldn't be deceived or hurt!"
Seeing her angry expression, Fu Li'an couldn't help but frown.
Although he is not good at perceiving changes in other people's emotions, he can still sense that the other person is genuinely angry at this moment.
Fu Li'an spoke in a slightly cold tone: "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't just say whatever you want!"
In his eyes, Qiao Wanyin was an upright, honest, and honorable girl who would never do such a treacherous thing.
Upon hearing this, Fang Wanyu was so angry that she bit her lips until they bled.
“I guessed you would think that way,” she said, her voice trembling, “because you are such a pure and forgiving person.”
After she finished speaking, she looked up and gazed at the woods not far ahead.
"If I'm not mistaken, they're probably meeting secretly at their usual spot again right now. Do you want to see for yourself what's going on? Maybe then you'll understand!"
Just then, a soft call came from the depths of the woods not far away.
"He Dayong".
The speaker's tone was slightly furrowed.
"Are you bothered by the fact that my engagement with Fu Lian has been broken off?"
This made Qiao Wanyin, who was standing still and listening, even more certain of her suspicions.
The atmosphere today is very strange, and the other party's behavior is also too abnormal.
According to what she knew from her previous books, He Dayong was always a reckless and hot-tempered guy.
They never beat around the bush when they speak, let alone hide their thoughts or secrets.
Let's go back to the incident where Fu Lian fell into the river.
From that day on, Qiao Wanyin harbored doubts.
