Chapter 22 Intimacy, Threat



Cheng Dabao and Cheng Xiaobao laughed and said, "Kiss."

Jiang Lin's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out. She reached out to twist Cheng Rushan's chest, but his flesh was too tight and she could only twist his clothes.

Cheng Rushan smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed her. Jiang Lin was so scared that she quickly lowered her head, and his kiss fell on the top of her head.

Jiang Lin: "You are going to make a mistake in broad daylight." He was arrested and paraded through the streets as a hooligan!

Cheng Rushan let her go and said, "Who cares if I kiss my own wife?" I was just teasing you, otherwise you could have avoided it.

Jiang Lin's face turned red and hot: "That can't be done outside."

Cheng Rushan nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll stay at home from now on."

Jiang Lin: “…” That’s not what I meant.

The two brothers put their arms around each other's shoulders and watched happily as Dongsheng teased Linlin. Although they didn't understand, they found it very funny.

Jiang Lin walked away quickly, "It's time to grind the millstone. Don't dawdle."

Cheng Rushan pushed the mill, Jiang Lin was responsible for taking care of the grain, Xiaobao would climb onto Cheng Rushan's back to increase the weight, and Dabao would sit on the millstone to help pour the grain in.

Jiang Lin: "Eat the food directly, don't make it dirty."

Cheng Xiaobao: "I can be naked, there is no dirt." Cheng Dabao: "Won't it smell?" Cheng Xiaobao: "After taking a shower."

In order to stop them from thinking about the grinding disc, Jiang Lin said, "Come here, I'll teach you how to play the game of Peace in the World."

The two children learned it quickly and then started playing happily.

Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan concentrated on grinding the mill.

Cheng Rushan pushed for a while, then stopped to let Jiang Lin clean up the millet powder. He smiled and said, "It's your turn to push."

Jiang Lin thought he was tired, so she naturally took the millstone. However, he held it in his arms, held her hand with his big hand, and they pushed the millstone together.

Jiang Lin was instantly overwhelmed by his strong masculine aura. Her back was pressed against his chest, and her whole body was covered in his arms. There was a millstone in front of her, and she had nowhere to escape!

Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to jump out.

Cheng Rushan lowered his head, and a voice sounded above her head, "Are you still afraid?"

His voice is magnetic but not too low, with a masculine and steady power.

At first, Jiang Lin's heart beat faster and she was sweating from nervousness, but after he pushed her around for a while, her heart slowly calmed down.

She knew that he would not hurt her, he would protect her. She kept thinking about how he played with the children, gentle and soft. His claws were only for enemies, and he used his soft belly to face his relatives.

He was harmless to her. He sent her this signal. Then, she miraculously calmed down and was no longer so afraid of his approach and touch.

"Almost." He lowered his head, pressed his lips lightly against the tip of her ear, and then let her go.

Jiang Lin's back was soaked with sweat and her face was red and hot. She quickly ran out to get some fresh air and watch Dabao and Xiaobao play games.

She stood there fanning herself with her hands, and just in time she saw Cheng Ruhai coming down the road. He looked so anxious, maybe he was going to the commune? Shuihuai Village was very close to the commune, and it was easy to get there. She returned to the mill gate, leaned against the door frame and said to Cheng Rushan, "It seems that Cheng Ruhai went to the commune to file a complaint."

Cheng Rushan swept the broken millet powder into the basket and looked at her. "Don't worry, Cheng Fugui won't dare to do anything. It's not the same as before."

Seeing that he was confident, Jiang Lin was not worried and stood there to enjoy the breeze and the rural scenery.

It was the beginning of the seventh lunar month, and the temperature was still high. The trees were green and the wild flowers were in clusters, which made the scenery quite nice. Unconsciously, she glanced at Cheng Rushan in the house again. Hmm, he had a very pleasing figure, tall but not stout, thin but not skinny, with even bones and flesh, and hidden strength.

She felt hot all over again and quickly looked away.

After everything was packed up, Cheng Rushan carried the food and his son on his back, Jiang Lin carried the basket and the tools, and the family went home together.

On the way, Jiang Lin saw Qian Bo and a female educated youth coming over.

The female educated youth was called Wei Qiongfang. She was an educated youth who went to the countryside from the city to live with her cousin, who was Ma Kaihua, the wife of Cheng Fugui's younger brother.

Cheng Fugui's younger brother is Cheng Fuwan, who is the production team leader of the second team. Ma Kaihua is responsible for the propaganda work of Shuihuai Village and often competes with Cheng Yulian, the women's director.

"Jiang Lin, who is this person to you?" Wei Qiongfang deliberately asked loudly. Of course she knew it was Cheng Rushan. Even if she was not familiar with him before, she had heard about Cheng Rushan beating his own brother.

Jiang Lin knew that the original owner had a mediocre relationship with the educated youth, and had a bad relationship with Wei Qiongfang. Both of them were beautiful girls, but Wei Qiongfang's skin was a little yellow and not so attractive. If beautiful and proud girls get together, if they both restrain themselves, there will be no trouble. If neither of them restrain themselves and try to show off to each other, the conflict will naturally intensify.

The reason why the original owner wanted to find someone to marry was because Wei Qiongfang had her cousin as a backer, so she could arrange an easy life for her and also secretly harm her opponents.

Jiang Lin heard her tone, as if to say that there was someone else besides this person. She raised her eyes and gave the other person a Hua Fei-style eye roll without any hesitation, saying, "You figure it out yourself. I don't even bother to pay attention to you."

Cheng Dabao shouted: "My mother's man!"

Cheng Xiaobao: "Our Dongsheng!"

After saying this, the two children burst into laughter. They didn't know what Wei Qiongfang meant, but showing off that they had a father and a mother was a good opportunity to take advantage of any opportunity.

Qian Bo immediately understood what Wei Qiongfang meant. He said, "This is Jiang Lin's husband. What nonsense are you talking about?"

Having said that, I feel really jealous, and I don't know whether Linlin will appreciate it or not.

Originally, he was also one of those men.

Wei Qiongfang asked in surprise, "Cheng Rushan?" She then looked at Cheng Rushan and said with a smile, "Hello, Cheng Rushan. I am Wei Qiongfang. I live at the home of the second team leader Cheng Fuwan."

Cheng Rushan didn't look at her directly, but turned back to urge Jiang Lin, "My wife is leaving."

Jiang Lin followed quickly.

Cheng Rushan was carrying a shoulder pole on his shoulder, with one hand free, so he held Jiang Lin's hand.

Jiang Lin subconsciously wanted to pull it back, but he held it tighter. Qian Bo was still watching from behind, he had to make that boy give up completely and stop thinking about his wife.

Seeing the two men leave, Wei Qiongfang curled her lips and deliberately said loudly: "Qianbo, didn't everyone say that she sold her child to raise money to return to the city?"

Qian Bo's face changed, "Nonsense, who told you that?"

Wei Qiongfang sneered: "Anyway, several people know about it."

Qian Bo: "Did Meng Yiyi say that?"

Wei Qiongfang: "She and Jiang Lin are in the same boat, can she tell me? So Meng Yiyi knows about it? I'll go ask her." She turned around and ran away despite Qianbo's objection.

When Jiang Lin heard Wei Qiongfang talking about selling the child, her palms skipped a beat. She smiled and turned back to Xiao Bao and said, "I just said I would sell you, but no one gave me 10,000 yuan."

Cheng Xiaobao chuckled: "My dad has it."

Jiang Lin quickly glanced at Cheng Rushan. He was looking at her with a half-smile, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

Cheng Dabao: "Goudan had three pancakes, and Gou had half a bag of sweet potatoes left."

Almost all the children in the village have a price tag. The adults just say it and the children keep talking about it.

Cheng Xiaobao felt very accomplished, "I am the most expensive."

Jiang Lin was relieved to see that Cheng Rushan didn't take it seriously. The only problem was with the Zhao family.

When they arrived at the door of the house, Cheng Rushan let go of her hand, and Jiang Lin pushed open the gate to let him in.

Yan Runzhi had already prepared lunch. She made vegetable pancakes by mixing several kinds of flour together, adding starter and dough. After the dough had risen, she chopped the fillings into celery and dried tofu, leek and egg, lentil, gourd and dried shrimp. There were plenty of vegetables in the vegetable garden anyway, and some of the leftovers from Mrs. Shang's family were given to her, so she made a few more.

In order to save oil, she only made a few oil pancakes for Jiang Lin and the children, and she and Cheng Rushan had to eat dry pancakes. Yan Runzhi knew that Jiang Lin loved it, so in order to let her try it, she didn't make the pancakes too big.

Seeing the two adults and two children come back, Yan Runzhi immediately felt that her son and daughter-in-law were a little different. Hehe, it turned out that if they were left alone, they would become familiar with each other more often.

The vegetable pancakes were so delicious that Jiang Lin ate one as well. Finally, she ate one with dried shrimp filling. It was so delicious!

Dabao and Xiaobao were just like her, their bellies were round as they ate a lot, so the three of them went to the yard to stretch their bellies.

Yan Runzhi whispered to Cheng Rushan: "Once Dongsheng comes back, we will have enough food to eat. We can't be away for so long in the future."

Cheng Rushan withdrew his gaze from Jiang Lin and the child, "Mom, don't worry, it won't happen again."

After lunch, Cheng Rushan wanted to tidy up the kang in the east room.

Yan Runzhi: "Let's talk about it when you come back. There's no rush."

After finally coming back, she had to go and make connections. She should spend more time with her daughter-in-law. In order to leave some space for her son and daughter-in-law, she ran out with her sewing basket, not even taking a nap.

Cheng Rushan asked Jiang Lin to take the two children to take a nap while he took some things to the commune.

Jiang Lin: "They must be off duty at noon."

Cheng Rushan smiled and said, "I know."

Jiang Lin didn't say anything.

Cheng Rushan went outside to take a shower, dried himself, changed his clothes, went into the house, touched Dabao and Xiaobao on their heads, and then stroked Jiang Lin's cheek, "I'm going out."

Jiang Lin hummed and continued fanning herself with the palm-leaf fan.

Cheng Rushan closed the gate and went to the educated youth station first, shouting at the door, "Qianbo."

Qianbo was lying on the kang reading a book. He shuddered with fear when he heard Cheng Rushan's voice. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but finally went out obediently. "What are you doing?"

"Have you settled your relationship back in the city?"

"What are you doing?" Everyone knew that he was taking revenge on Cheng Ruhai, and Qianbo was afraid that he would come to settle the score with him for his affair with Jiang Lin.

Cheng Rushan: "I'll get you stamped by the commune. Let's go."

Qian Bo wanted to say that he could go by himself, but under the pressure of Cheng Rushan's eyes, he couldn't say no, "Wait for me to get the documents."

He carried his schoolbag and went to the commune with Cheng Rushan, "Why are you so kind?" It would cost at least more than a hundred yuan to use the connections himself.

Cheng Rushan: "Thank you for helping me carry the backpack."

The two of them went to the commune. Qianbo couldn't keep up with Cheng Rushan's pace and had to jog several times. He felt inexplicably humiliated.

As a result, the commune was not open at noon and asked them to come back in the afternoon.

Qianbo: "I forgot, they are taking a break at noon."

Cheng Rushan: "Let's go." He went in first and went straight to the secretary's office.

A female secretary stopped them and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Cheng Rushan: "We are from Secretary Cheng's village."

The female secretary saw that he was tall and handsome, and smiled, "Come in and wait."

She led the two to Cheng Fugui's office and asked them to wait, as Secretary Cheng would be back soon.

Cheng Fugui had heard Cheng Ruhai complain before, and felt a little uneasy, so he went to the communications team to make a long-distance call to ask about it. After the call, he was upset and went out for a walk, smoked a cigarette and thought about things. After a while, he returned to the office and heard that the villagers were waiting for him. He thought it was his brother and nephew.

When I entered the office, I saw Cheng Rushan sitting in his office.

Cheng Fugui subconsciously wanted to grab a gun. He had been a soldier, and although his shooting skills were poor, it did not stop him from using a gun to give himself courage. He still owns a Mauser pistol.

Cheng Rushan said calmly: "Secretary Cheng, don't be nervous."

Qian Bo regretted following him. He was really out of his mind. How could he think that Cheng Rushan was kind enough to help him get back to the city? Was he here to cause trouble? Looking at the tense atmosphere, was he afraid that they were going to fight?

Cheng Fugui laughed and scratched his hair. "It's no use being nervous about a nephew from the village coming to visit. Rushan, you're finally back."

Cheng Rushan: "Well, he didn't die outside."

Cheng Fugui shook his head and laughed, "You are such a naughty boy. You are still like this after all these years. Now you are a father and an adult. Be more stable. I will arrange a job for you when you come back."

Cheng Rushan: "I don't dare to trouble Secretary Cheng, just don't arrange for me to go to labor camp."

"Look at what you said. You didn't break the law, so who can send you to labor camp? Are you holding a grudge for something in the past?" Cheng Fugui raised his eyebrows, his eyes sharp, "Dongsheng, you are wrong. Policy issues are decisions made by the Party and the government, and we as cadres can only implement them truthfully. If I don't implement them, there will always be someone else who will, right?"

Cheng Rushan smiled, stood up, and took the form from Qianbo. "Of course I know this, so even if you shot my grandfather and killed my uncle, I didn't kill you, right?"

He slapped the form on the table.

Cheng Fugui glanced down and saw that it was a job transfer back to the city, which had already been arranged in the city. They would usually ask the educated youth to give them a gift of one or two hundred yuan.

However, Cheng Rushan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, so Cheng Fugui took out his seal and stamped it, "Look, the procedures are legal, and I handle things impartially. I have always done this. As long as the government says your father is fine, I will release him immediately!" Cheng Yunzhi and the others were on the farm. In the past, Cheng Fugui could do bad things to them, but later he was out of reach.

Cheng Rushan nodded slightly, "I will go to handle the rehabilitation procedures for my family now."

He stared at Cheng Fugui, his eyes sharp as knives, and his voice cold, "If you dare to touch a hair of my family when I'm not at home, I will turn your whole family into grass on the grave!"

Cheng Fugui knew that Cheng Rushan was here to warn him not to stand up for Cheng Ruhai. He also knew that Cheng Rushan usually didn't say harsh words, but would do harsh things. As long as he said harsh words, he would do it 100%. Cheng Fugui knew this better than anyone else, as he had experienced Cheng Rushan's bravery.

When he was on the farm, he beat back those who bullied him. He also tried every means to get back at those who wanted to bully his father and mother outside the policy, even if it meant getting his head broken and bloodied.

Cheng Fugui and Cheng Rushan looked into each other's eyes, their sharp eyes clashed, there was grudges spanning the years as well as bonds of blood.

Cheng Fugui's father and Cheng Rushan's grandfather are brothers, but his father is a concubine, not a legitimate man, keeping actors and smoking opium. Cheng Fugui feels that Cheng Rushan is more like his son, ruthless and ruthless, unlike Cheng Yunzhi who is soft and bookish.

He smiled again, "Dongsheng, just go ahead, I'll be waiting. If you can really get your name rehabilitated, I'll be happier than anyone else."

Cheng Rushan took the stamped form and returned it to Qianbo, "Let's go."

Qianbo was so panicked that he hurried out, not caring whether he was the secretary or not. When Cheng Rushan said that to Cheng Fugui just now, Qianbo's heart almost exploded. He really felt that Cheng Rushan might take out a knife and stab Cheng Fugui to death at any time. Yesterday, he seemed to be in a good temper when coaxing the child, but today he was so scared.

After leaving the commune compound, Cheng Rushan walked very fast in front, and Qianbo jogged after him, not noticing that it was not the way back to the village.

Although Qianbo was nervous, he still couldn't help but say something mean, "Cheng Rushan, tell me, why did you turn me into a grave weed?"

You are such a boaster!

If you want to kill someone, then just kill him. The worst that can happen is that you can use their blood to water the grass on their grave. Can you really turn people into grass?

Cheng Rushan suddenly stopped and turned to look to the side.

Qianbo subconsciously looked over and found that it was the cemetery of the commune brigade. Although there was a demand for a grave-leveling campaign in the 1950s, it was not so easy to level the ancestral graves in the countryside. This area was fine. There were big bulging graves, with yellow paper pressed on them by round dirt clods. The dirt clods were covered with thatch and swayed in the wind.

Qianbo: “!!!”

He instantly imagined Cheng Rushan turning Cheng Fugui into grass on a grave, and he felt like his hair was standing on end.

Cheng Rushan glanced at him and said, "Wait until your hair grows longer."

Qian Bo: "Cheng Rushan, please spare my life. I...I will never dare to do it again."

Cheng Rushan raised his eyebrows, "What did you do?"

Qianbo: ...I want to seduce your wife and elope. Is this serious? His legs became weak and he almost fell to his knees.

Under Cheng Rushan's pressure, he trembled, "Cheng Rushan, I'm sorry. I thought you were not coming back. Cheng Ruhai said you were not coming back. I... But don't worry, Jiang Lin didn't pay any attention to me. She even kicked me."

He subconsciously covered his crotch, fearing that Cheng Rushan would kick him, which would be really bad.

Cheng Rushan suddenly smiled, and Qianbo was so scared that he almost peed himself.

Cheng Rushan patted Qianbo's shoulder. Qianbo's legs softened and he wanted to sit down, but Cheng Rushan grabbed him and said, "It's okay. I'm not that stingy. It's your freedom to like someone."

Qian Bo breathed a sigh of relief, with cold sweat pouring down his face.

"But." Cheng Rushan looked down at him, put his left hand on his shoulder, patted it gently, and said with a smile: "Just like it in your heart, don't show it." He poked Qianbo's heart with his finger, "Such a fragile place, if it sprouts, it will be very painful."

Qianbo immediately imagined the grass on the grave again, his face turned frighteningly pale, and he nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I won't take it out. I will never dare to do it again."

I was so scared that I never dared to like a woman in my life.

Cheng Rushan let him go with a smile, "I just happened to be going to the provincial capital for some work, so I'll go with you tomorrow morning."

Qianbo had originally breathed a sigh of relief, but now he was so scared that he wished he could die here. Who wants to travel with you? I’m not a masochist.
