Chapter 67 Crickets Behind Them



When Shen Xingchen finished his meal and was returning to the educated youth point, he was suddenly stopped by Song Hewei.

He immediately took several steps back and kept his distance from the other person.

When Song Hewei saw this scene, her heart ached. She was not a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast. Was it necessary to do this?

Shen Xingchen spoke first: "Song Hewei, I already have a partner now, it's impossible for me to be with you, give up!"

While waiting, Song Hewei reflected deeply.

He felt that he was pushing Shen Xingchen too hard, causing her to develop a rebellious mentality, so he just found someone to be with.

So we decided to change our strategy.

The first step to changing strategy is to change the name you use so that the other party can let down their guard.

"Shen Xingchen, don't worry, I have thought it through now and will not pester you anymore.

I'm waiting for you here, just to end things with you.

After all, we all have to live under the same roof, and we see each other every day. We can’t get along like enemies, right? "

"It's best if you think so."

"Of course, I'm not in bad condition either, there's no need for me to rely on you for support.

However, I think it is necessary for you to write a letter to tell your uncle about such a big thing as finding a partner."

"This is my business, so don't worry about it."

"Okay, then I wish you happiness."

After saying that, Song Hewei turned around and walked away gracefully, as if she had really let it go.

Seeing this, Shen Xingchen didn't think much about it.

But Song Hewei turned around and wrote a letter back. In addition to complaining, she also mentioned in passing that Shen Xingchen had found a fool as his partner in the countryside.

She knew that her stepmother was a gossip and would definitely tell her neighbor Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang’s son and Shen Xingchen’s cousin were high school classmates and now work in the same workshop.

As long as she sends this letter, Shen Xingchen's cousin will know it, and if his cousin knows it, Shen Xingchen's uncle will also know it.

Xu Jianzhong is so good to Shen Xingchen, he would definitely not agree to him being with a fool.

Of course, Xu Jianzhong is far away in Beijing, so even if Shen Xingchen disagrees, he might not listen to him.

But it doesn’t matter, she has a backup plan.

That is next year’s college entrance examination.

Shen Xingchen will definitely take the college entrance examination and will definitely pass.

As long as Xu Jianzhong delays Shen Xingchen and doesn't let him get married within this year, Shen Xingchen will leave Lianhua Village after the college entrance examination.

As long as Shen Xingchen and Mai Sui separate, she can take advantage of the opportunity.

Moreover, within this year, she can also find a way to get close to Shen Xingchen.

She hasn't used the CQ medicine she bought on the black market last time.

She bought this from several black market dens and spent a huge sum of 200 yuan.

If she hadn't stolen her stepmother's secret stash before going to the countryside, she wouldn't have had the money to buy it.

Because of buying this medicine, Song Hewei now has only more than 80 yuan left.

Although it seems like a lot, she is not good at working and her family cannot send her money, so these are her last resort.

It seems that I won’t be able to buy eggs from the villagers often in the future.

This CQ medicine that I spent a huge amount of money to buy must not be wasted!

This is her golden key to a better life!

However, she had to make sure there was no trace left and Shen Xingchen would never find out that she was the one who drugged him.

Otherwise, Shen Xingchen would probably hate her even more.

Song Hewei was busy calculating, and she didn't notice that Chen Chien was secretly observing her.

She thought that the other party was a lapdog she raised, and as long as she gave him some benefits, he would listen to her and do her bidding.

Little do people know that dogs and wolves look very similar.

........

In the afternoon, Shen Xingchen went to the fields to harvest corn as usual.

Yang Lin, who was working with him, suddenly poked him with his elbow and said, "Look, who is that?"

I saw Mai Sui coming with Mai Lao San.

Mai Sui walked in front with a faint smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Mai Laosan walked behind with a long face, as if someone owed him money.

But as soon as Mai Sui turned around, Mai Lao San's expression immediately changed, revealing a big smile, looking quite like a kind father.

Shen Xingchen immediately went up to him, holding a freshly picked corn in his hand.

"Uncle Mai, why are you here?"

Mai Sui frowned, feeling slightly dissatisfied that Shen Xingchen only called her Mai Lao San and not her.

Little did they know that Shen Xingchen was just a little embarrassed.

Mai Sui said, "Shen Xingchen, stop working and go fishing with me. I'll let Mai Lao San do the work in the fields for you."

After saying that, she turned and looked at Mai Lao San.

Although Mai Lao San was extremely reluctant, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically due to the power of Mai Sui, snatched the corn from Shen Xingchen's hand, and kept saying:

"Yes, Shen Zhiqing, you and Mai Sui go fishing, and I'll do the work. I'm the best at harvesting corn."

In fact, Mai Sui had no intention of exploiting Mai Lao San, but as luck would have it, when Mai Sui went out, he happened to see Mai Lao San slacking off and beating Hu Tou.

Hu Tou is the grandson of Mai Xiangdong and the son of Mai Juncai.

Raising a child in the countryside is not that precious. If the child makes a mistake, he or she will be beaten up.

Hu Tou was beaten by Mai Lao San and screamed loudly.

Mai Sui didn't care what happened between them. Maybe Hu Tou was naughty and deserved a beating.

But since Mai Lao San has time to beat the kid here, it means he has nothing to do, so he can go help Shen Xingchen with the work.

So, Mai Lao San was dragged away.

Hu Tou immediately put on a gloating expression and made a face at Mai Lao San.

"Long live aunt, Third Grandpa, lelelelelelelel~"

Mai Laosan was very angry. If he had known this would happen, he would have stayed away when he was slacking off.

Wheat Ear was worried that he would not obey, so he gave him a strict order: "All the corn in this field must be harvested this afternoon, otherwise you will not have any food tonight."

There wasn't much corn left in the field. As long as he and Yang Lin didn't get lazy, they would definitely be able to harvest it all and maybe even finish work early.

What could Mai Lao San do but just nodded in agreement.

Shen Xingchen didn't feel comfortable asking Mai Laosan to work for him, so he quickly refused.

But he was pulled away forcefully by the wheat ear.

You have to know that people are conservative these days. Even when couples walk outside, they don't hold hands.

What's more, Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen are just in a romantic relationship.

Mai Sui obviously didn't realize this and just pulled Shen Xingchen away. Many villagers around saw it.

Shen Xingchen wanted to pull his hand back, but Mai Sui was holding on tightly and he didn't have enough strength.

Seeing that many people were looking in their direction, Shen Xingchen immediately reminded Mai Sui: "There's someone here, let go quickly."

Mai Sui was confused: "There are people, there are people. We are not afraid of the light."

Mai Sui was very stubborn and Shen Xingchen couldn't persuade her at all. He could only let her lead him to the river with a red face, receiving many glances along the way.

He could imagine how many villagers were teasing them behind their backs at this moment.

However, looking at the unusually determined look of Mai Sui, Shen Xingchen felt warm in his heart again.

Chen Chien also saw it and specifically reminded Song Hewei to look.

"Look over there! You know what, although Mai Sui is not very smart, she is indeed very pretty. The two of them standing together look quite a good match."
