Chapter 51 I blush when I see you
When Xia Yutong met Su Yuanzheng's handsome face, her face turned bright red, burning intensely, and she unconsciously lowered her head.
Why is your face so red?
I absolutely hate people who ask questions they already know the answer to.
"I don't know, I just saw you..."
Halfway through her answer, Xia Yutong realized that what she said wasn't quite right. "I'm going back. Don't touch my camera. Tell them too."
“Li Miao told me that she would help me film videos of the handicrafts.”
Xia Yutong quickly turned back, and the man followed her a few steps. "Tongtong, write down what you need, and I'll buy the materials for you."
Xia Yutong fled into the cabin as if her life depended on it, closing the door behind her to block out all sound.
Through the door, she heard Su Yuanzheng chuckle softly, and her heart pounded.
Why was Li Miao able to notice her change while Su Yuanzheng didn't? She suddenly understood.
Li Miao is an outsider, but Su Yuanzheng is not. The saying "the onlooker sees more of the game than the player" applies here.
He had finally received her response, and in the throes of love, he would gladly accept it even if she suddenly went out and slapped him twice or cursed at him.
They can even quickly adjust themselves, believing that hitting or scolding is a sign of affection.
This is Su Yuanzheng, the top tycoon in the original novel who gave everything but couldn't win the heart of the woman he loved, and who spent his life busy with his career and no longer believed in love.
Liu Yaozong arrived at noon, having drunk a lot of alcohol. He had been absent from work for several days since his last argument with Su Qinglian.
Xu Lei couldn't help but say to him, "Didn't you say you weren't coming? Why are you here again?"
"When will I stop coming?"
Su Yuanzheng's refusal to pay Liu Yaozong's cousin a high salary has always been a source of resentment for Liu Yaozong.
Xu Lei and Zhang Ji had discussed this matter behind their backs, and they guessed that Liu Yaozong had boasted to his relatives that he would ask Su Yuanzheng's brother-in-law to help him get a high-paying job in the village, where his cousin would also be able to take care of his family.
His relatives had high hopes for him, which is why he was so eager to talk to Su Yuanzheng. But he was met with a wall, so he went to Su Qinglian to make a scene, but that didn't work either.
He was absent from work for several days, waiting for everyone to persuade him to come, but everyone treated him as someone who was dispensable.
He couldn't resist any longer, so he took the initiative to come to work in the fields.
Xu Lei didn't speak, and Liu Yaozong then looked at Zhang Ji and Li Miao, the couple, and asked, "You two are my sister-in-law's classmates, and you're new here, right?"
Li Miao nodded, and Zhang Ji took the initiative to shake hands, saying, "Hello."
Liu Yaozong's face was flushed from drinking, and his whole face was red under the sun. He couldn't help but snort, "I don't do these things. We're all country folk, we don't care about these things."
Her words were laced with sarcasm, implying that Zhang Ji was putting on airs. Li Miao tugged at Zhang Ji, who had no choice but to pull his hand back.
Xu Lei got along well with Zhang Ji, and most of the villagers also had a good impression of him. They thought that Li Miao and Zhang Ji were good at handling things and were very hardworking, unlike Liu Yaozong, who relied on being Su Yuanzheng's brother-in-law to slack off everywhere and was often drunk.
With the sun so strong, the consequences of heatstroke are unimaginable.
Xu Lei said, "Liu Yaozong, you'd better drink less alcohol during work hours."
"We're all from the countryside, what's wrong with having a little drink? Drinking won't stop me from farming."
Liu Yaozong lit a cigarette. The sun made his face even redder, and it was oily and covered in beads of sweat.
Seeing that this person was not someone to be trifled with, Li Miao pulled Zhang Ji aside, making an excuse to go water the roses, and put on a sun hat to go to the field first.
Xu Lei frowned unhappily. "Although we are farming, we treat the expedition as an industry. There are investors above us, and there must be rules and regulations. The new rules say that drinking is not allowed during working hours."
Liu Yaozong looked up at the sky, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.
Xu Lei added, "Also, smoking is not allowed. The sun is strong, and we grow roses. If a fire breaks out, the whole garden will burn down. There is a designated smoking area over there."
Liu Yaozong remained unfazed, completely unconcerned about the matter. "You control drinking and smoking too. So, you're telling me to have Su Yuanzheng come out and talk to me personally? You're clearly targeting me, aren't you?"
Xu Lei sighed. "Everyone's the same. Who's targeting you?"
"It's targeting me, I can tell,"
"Even if we didn't consider the risk of fire in the fields during the summer, there was a pregnant woman inside. We had to think about her. Yuanzheng even gave up smoking for the sake of the child..."
Xu Lei tried to persuade him, but Liu Yaozong wouldn't listen. He said agitatedly, "What does his quitting smoking have to do with me? Does it mean I have to quit too? What does his quitting smoking have to do with me? His wife isn't my wife..."
Su Yuanzheng had just returned from the county in his van, carrying a large amount of materials. He had just parked the van and was heading this way when he heard this sound.
Xu Lei saw Su Yuanzheng not far behind Liu Yaozong.
Liu Yaozong, having been drinking, spoke louder than usual. Xu Lei blinked frantically at him, but Liu Yaozong ignored him completely. "Let me make this clear: I'm his brother-in-law, he's my brother-in-law, I'm the elder, I'm Liu Xiaomi's father!" Liu Yaozong threw his cigarette butt on the ground. "I drink, I smoke, what can he do to me? He only lets you guys say these things to me, would he dare say them to me himself?"
"He wouldn't dare!"
Xu Lei gave him a clear look, signaling him not to speak.
Liu Yaozong became increasingly arrogant, "What is Su Yuanzheng anyway? The Su family has no money. He only got married because he met some big shots in the city. If it weren't for that, would his beautiful wife be with him? Everyone knows that his wife is arrogant and looks down on everyone. She only cares about her looks and will kick anyone with money..."
Su Yuanzheng stood straight, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to reveal his arm muscles, jeans, and sneakers covered in mud...
With a thud, the mud on the soles of his feet landed on Liu Yaozong's buttocks.
"What happened? An earthquake..."
Liu Yaozong was kicked a distance away, pushing some mud onto the ground...
Xu Lei was speechless and went over to pull Su Yuanzheng away, but Su Yuanzheng was clearly furious and grabbed Liu Yaozong by the collar.
The slightly chubby man was like a roly-poly toy in his hands, which Su Yuanzheng threw far away.
Liu Yaozong blushed and realized he was scared.
He took a few steps back, unsure of what to do, "Expedition, expedition, I..."
"roll."
Xu Lei pulled him back, "Alright, that's enough."
Not satisfied with that, Su Yuanzheng grabbed the lighter that Liu Yaozong had dropped and threw it at him.
Liu Yaozong ran very fast. The lighter hit the upright stone pillar and exploded with a loud "bang".
There's a smell of liquefied gas...
Su Yuanzheng wanted to chase after him, but Xu Lei pulled him back, saying, "Never mind, he's your brother-in-law."
