Chapter 32 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind



Liu Dazhu gave in to Song Manhua's tearful and persistent advances.

Despite being the brigade leader, his family situation was probably worse than those families with many able-bodied men.

He would never bully anyone because of his position as the brigade leader, and he would never be selfish when assigning tasks to his own people.

In recent years, we've helped our eldest and second sons get married, and then we had two more grandsons and a granddaughter.

Both daughters-in-law were pregnant and taking care of their babies for almost a year without working.

Many people eat at home, but earn few work points.

With the third son about to find a wife and the youngest daughter also getting married...

When Liu Dazhu came out again, his shoulders were slumped down.

He forced a smile. "It's impossible to build you a separate room."

"The entire team and the entire educated youth settlement are watching."

"The original plan was to build another male dormitory and a female dormitory on the left side of the courtyard."

"However, I can arrange to add a small storage room."

"The room wasn't big, just big enough to fit a bed and a cabinet, so we didn't have to worry about the educated youth coming later crowding in."

"That's right, that's right..."

Liu Dazhu rubbed his hands nervously, unsure how to begin.

Such a large piece of cloth and ten catties of fine grain—that's quite a heavy gift.

He felt a little guilty.

A person who stood tall all their life bent their back for their children.

Su Qingci roughly understood what Liu Dazhu meant.

"Uncle, I understand even if you don't say it. I understand your difficulties."

“I’m not an ungrateful person. The team paid for the house construction, so I got a great deal.”

"Once the house is built, you don't need to worry about it. I'll figure out how to move in myself."

"But you have to make sure you tell them to make sure there's a window at the back of the storage room, otherwise it won't be good if people move in without proper ventilation."

Liu Dazhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, Uncle will remember."

"Uncle Liu, you guys go ahead with your work, I'm leaving."

Seeing that the deal had been reached inside, Song Manhua came in carrying her eldest grandson with a joyful expression.

"Young Su, it's still early, why don't you sit for a while longer?"

"Auntie, come visit again next time you have time."

As he spoke, he reached out and teased the baby in Song Manhua's arms.

"Little baby, how old are you? What's your name?"

The child snuggled closer to his grandmother and buried his head in her arms.

Song Manhua smiled and said, "He's shy. He's two and a half years old, and his full name is Changxing."

Su Qingci took out a few candies. "Come on, Changxing, call me sister, and I'll give you something nice."

Xiao Changxing raised his head and looked at Su Qingci's palm with his big eyes.

"elder sister."

"Oh, Changxing is so good."

Little Changxing clutched the two candies like precious treasures, his face flushed with excitement.

After Su Qingci left, Song Manhua pried open Xiao Changxing's hands.

"Come to Changxing and let Grandma see you."

"Old man, here are three fruit candies."

“This Su educated youth is quite capable. The young lady has had a tough time. Please take good care of her in the future.”

"If you can help, then lend a hand."

"Changxing, we'll eat one today, and Grandma will save the rest for you to eat tomorrow."

"Hey, our Changxing is the best behaved."

The construction of the house was in full swing, and the men who went to work were also paid work points, so there was no such thing as being provided with meals.

The educated youth settlement was considered collective property of the team, so the cost of materials was covered by the brigade.

With the help of the educated youth, the house was built in about ten days.

After airing it out for a few days, everyone moved in.

Luo Song, Lu Linping, and Liu Fuqun moved from the original Susse to the new Susse.

Li Li and Chen Xiuxiang also moved into the newly built women's dormitory. Zhou Huijuan looked at Chen Xiuxiang, who had gotten there first, with a displeased expression.

Su Qing porcelain was naturally moved into the storage room.

Inside are cabinets and a bed that I paid for myself.

Others might make a few sarcastic remarks, but considering that she paid for the bed and cabinets herself, they weren't so envious.

Feng Jianjun's eyes grew increasingly cold.

He discovered that Su Qingci not only had some connection with Secretary Ma, but also had the strongest economic power in this educated youth settlement.

Judging from her economic strength, she must have come from an extraordinary background.

This explains her arrogant and rude behavior; after all, she has the confidence to back it up.

He had put in a lot of effort during this period, but the other party simply ignored him.

Thinking of this, he became even more anxious.

He's not the only smart person in the world.

Good things are never just something that only one person is eyeing.

Moreover, he had already heard that new educated youth would be arriving soon.

Therefore, we must act swiftly to avoid any unforeseen complications.

The best plan is to kill her in one place, forcing her to submit to him.

As the weather gradually gets warmer, more and more mischievous children are playing by the river.

Su Qingci led the water buffalo slowly, watching the children playing in the river.

Suddenly, a firecracker went off. Someone had thrown a firecracker at the feet of the water buffalo. Startled, the buffalo charged headlong into the river.

Ah~

With her wrists bound by a cow rope, Su Qingci was thrown into the river by the water buffalo.

She struggled with difficulty, trying to untie the cow rope binding her hands.

Upon hearing the firecrackers, Feng Jianjun's eyes lit up with joy. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly dropped his hoe and ran towards the riverbank.

As Su Qingci was struggling to untie the cow rope in her hand, she saw Feng Jianjun running over.

"Qingci, are you alright?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Help! Someone come quick! Su, the educated youth, has fallen into the river!"

He clasped his hands together and shouted around before diving in.
