The matter was quite simple. Chen Shuning, who had squeezed to the front of the crowd, quickly learned most of the story from the people around him.
Speaking of Zhao Qianjin, he's quite a character. He'd only known Widow Zhang for a few days when he hooked up with her and even planned to have her remarry with all of her ex-husband's pension money.
It's one thing to covet other people's money, but if you can take good care of their elderly mother and children in place of the husband who sacrificed himself for them, then it's understandable that you sleep with their wives and spend their money.
But you're so shameless that you only want money and a wife, and don't care about the mother's good intentions. That's just too shameless.
Not only were the villagers who had watched Zhang Qingshan grow up unhappy about this, but even the educated youth present were full of contempt and disdain for Zhao Qianjin.
Therefore, when some of the villagers, who were in a fit of emotion, started to hit the two people kneeling on the ground, the educated youth present, although they did not fight back, did not stop them in the slightest.
Seeing the increasingly excited villagers, He Chaoyang didn't care whether Chen Shuning agreed or not, and simply carried her out of the crowd in a princess carry.
Since the two are now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, no one will say anything even if there is a little physical contact. Besides, Chen Shuningzi still has an injury on her foot, so it shouldn't be a big deal for her boyfriend to hug her.
Although no one else said anything, Chen Shuning was worried about He Chaoyang's injury and struggled to get down.
"What are you doing? I can walk by myself. What if you aggravate the wound?"
At first, He Chaoyang was a little sad when Chen Shuning struggled, thinking that Chen Shuning didn't want to acknowledge him as her boyfriend in public.
But when she heard that Chen Shuning was worried about her injury, her heart instantly turned from bitter to sweet.
He shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay. You're not that heavy. You're just the weight of a small wild boar. Even if you carried two of you, it wouldn't aggravate your wound."
A few days ago, He Chaoyang found a lost wild boar in the mountains while on a mission, so he took it back to the unit. He figured that if the boar grew bigger, it could improve the soldiers' meals.
So, while holding Chen Shuning, he unconsciously thought of that little wild boar and made this analogy on the spur of the moment.
"What nonsense are you spouting? You're the little wild boar, you..."
"What's wrong with Chen Zhiqing? Tell your uncle if anyone bullied you, and your uncle will stand up for you."
Shen Baogen, who had already gone to bed, was woken up in a daze, told that something had happened at the educated youth settlement.
They dressed in a daze and ran out. Along the way, they saw that even those who weren't villagers were heading towards the educated youth settlement.
He became even more anxious and, without even having a chance to ask what had happened, he came over and saw Chen Shuning being held in He Chaoyang's arms.
My first thought was, "Could it be this little girl who got into trouble?"
That's why he asked that rather urgent question just now.
Chen Shuning, whose attention was focused on He Chaoyang, was also startled by Shen Baogen's shout.
By the time she realized what was happening, the old man had already run up to them.
Thinking about their somewhat ambiguous situation, Chen Shuning was so embarrassed that she didn't even bother to answer Shen Baogen and buried her head in He Chaoyang's arms.
In the end, He Chaoyang smiled and comforted the anxious old man who was about to snatch the child from his arms.
“Uncle Shen, Shu Ning is fine. There are just too many people here. I was afraid someone might touch her foot again, so I was carrying her back. The one who had the accident is Zhao Zhiqing over there. Uncle Shen, you should go and check on her quickly.”
Upon hearing that it wasn't Chen Shuning who was in trouble, the old man felt a little more at ease.
As long as it wasn't Xiao Chen, the educated youth, who got into trouble, he wouldn't be nagged by his wife and children when he got home.
You should know that nowadays, Xiao Chen, the former educated youth, holds a higher place in the hearts of his wife and several grandchildren than he does.
Another young Chen, a former educated youth, was indeed a sensible and well-behaved girl, whom he liked. So when he saw the scene before him, he was genuinely startled.
Although he knew whether the incident involved Chen Shuning, looking at the two people in front of him, Shen Baogen still disapproved and said, "Comrade He, after all, Chen Shuning is a female comrade. I'm afraid what you're doing is not good for her reputation. I think you should put her down first, and I'll find a strong old woman to carry her back later."
Although he was happy that someone else cared about the little girl, He Chaoyang had no intention of letting her go.
Instead, he smiled and explained, "Uncle Shen, Shu Ning is my girlfriend, so there's nothing wrong with me carrying her back."
Upon hearing this, Shen Baogen was taken aback at first, but after realizing what he had said, he was happy for the two young people.
He nodded repeatedly and smiled, "Okay, okay, you must let me know when you're getting married."
"Definitely, I'll definitely let you know first when the time comes," He Chaoyang replied readily.
"Okay, okay, then you go back with Xiao Chen first, I'll go over there and see what's going on."
As he spoke, the old man muttered with dissatisfaction, "None of them are any of them easy to deal with."
Hearing the captain's footsteps receding into the distance, Chen Shuning finally lifted his head from He Chaoyang's chest and first peered in the direction the captain had gone.
Seeing that the person had already pushed through the crowd and gone inside, she glared at He Chaoyang with a reproachful look and complained, "I told you I can walk by myself, look how embarrassed you are!"
"If your girlfriend sprains her ankle, isn't it normal for her boyfriend to hug her?"
