She finally understood that with Brother He protecting that woman, there was nothing she could do.
However, Du Juan still didn't believe that Brother He would be truly sincere towards such a woman. She thought he was just used to delicacies and occasionally craved simple porridge and side dishes.
In Du Juan's mind, a privileged young man like He Chaoyang could have any woman he wanted, so she believed that He Chaoyang was only with that woman because of a fleeting infatuation.
Hmph, once Brother He loses interest in that woman, she'll make her pay back tenfold, a hundredfold, for the suffering she endured today.
While enduring her mother's rage, with her body being pinched and twisted by her mother, Du Juan was also plotting in her mind how to take revenge on Du Xiangqian and Chen Shuning in the future.
Meanwhile, Chen Shuning was sitting in the passenger seat, happily eating the roasted sweet potato that He Chaoyang had bought for her sometime during the day.
Holding the hot sweet potato in both hands, she was sweating from the heat but couldn't bear to take her mouth away. Her small face, no bigger than a palm, was almost buried in the sweet potato, which made He Chaoyang, who was driving, extremely fond of her.
Although the road wasn't easy to travel, the car was much faster than yours. The two of them wandered around the town for most of the day and returned to Qingshan Brigade just as it got dark.
By the second day of the Lunar New Year, the educated youth settlement had already become quiet. The older educated youth in the front yard had stayed in the village for many years and had more or less some friends in the village.
After the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone went out to visit friends on the second day.
There is relatively little entertainment available at this time of year, and most of the men in the village like to get together and play games or something during the winter.
In Heilongjiang Province, there's a kind of playing card similar to mahjong. During the winter, everyone likes to get together and play it, including the male educated youth in the educated youth settlement. During the Spring Festival, they all went to find places to play cards.
Of course, unlike some people in the village who used it for gambling, the educated youth were poor and usually just played around with it.
The female educated youth would go back to chat with people they knew, since the kang (heated brick bed) in the village was much warmer than the old house in the educated youth settlement at that time. The female educated youth went out to chat for one reason, and it was also true that the old house in the educated youth settlement was too cold.
Of course, there were also some female educated youths with ulterior motives who went to chat with villagers to find a way out for themselves.
After spending many years in the countryside and with no hope of returning to the city, many female educated youth began looking for good families to marry into.
So during the Spring Festival, the gates of the educated youth settlement were locked at night, but when the two returned, the gates were wide open.
Without disturbing anyone else, the two returned to Chen Shuning's cottage. He Chaoyang started the fire, while Chen Shuning cooked. They chatted and laughed as they prepared dinner.
The tacit understanding between the two is like that of a couple who have lived together for many years, filling their hearts with sweetness.
