Seeing Jiang Yu leave without even glancing at him, Lu Yi grew anxious. He slipped out the back door to her usual route and waited quietly, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Seeing this, Bai Na felt a surge of anger and, not knowing how to vent it, kicked a pebble into someone's basin while they were washing clothes.
The man saw her features clearly, suppressed his anger, and remained silent. Everyone knew that Cui Jin, the educated youth administrator, was Bai Na's uncle; offending her meant losing your place in the educated youth team.
Relying on this relationship, Bai Na did whatever she wanted in the team; she could say that even a sow could fly and no one dared to contradict her.
......
Lu Yi waited by the roadside for a while before he saw Jiang Yu. After a moment of excitement, he gradually calmed down and pretended to be passing by, striking various poses.
Jiang Yu saw this person from afar, rolled her eyes, and pretended not to see him.
As she approached, she glanced at the man. He was indeed very fair-skinned, but aside from that, he seemed to have no other distinguishing features. For example, his eyes were small, and his lips were thin; he looked like a heartless person. She couldn't understand what the original owner of this body liked about him. Compared to the male lead, he was like heaven and earth.
Whether the original owner of this body or Jiang Meier liked him, it had nothing to do with her; this person was simply not her type.
Lu Yi watched as she pretended not to see him, haughty as a peacock with its tail feathers spread. He stood up, looked at the woman who was almost half a head shorter than him, and couldn't help but recite a line of poetry:
"The ospreys cry 'guan guan' on the river's islet. A fair maiden is the object of a gentleman's affections."
Her voice was sour and sarcastic that it gave people goosebumps. Lu Yi didn't think so. He considered himself a cultured young man. The original owner of this body loved to sit beside him and listen to him recite poetry. A few lines were enough to make her completely smitten, and she would praise him to the skies.
Thinking of the past, Lu Yi became more confident. He deliberately raised his voice, and Jiang Yu felt a chill run down her spine. She hugged her arms tightly and walked forward, wanting to escape from here as soon as possible.
Seeing that the effect was not obvious, Lu Yi began to wonder. Could it be that she was no longer interested in such poetry? Or was she waiting for him to coax her?
But he had never lowered his stance in front of this woman, not even giving her a kind look. Now, suddenly, he couldn't bring himself to be polite to her.
But then again, that meat was really delicious!
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yi quickly took two steps and blocked her path. He looked down at her with disdain in his eyes.
Jiang Yu patiently forced a smile:
"Excuse me, sir, you're blocking the way."
Having said that, she turned her head to one side, refusing to even glance at him. Lu Yi was enraged by her attitude and couldn't help but snort coldly:
"What? After I rejected you last time, you're acting like you don't know me when we meet again?"
He figured it was probably some kind of trick the woman was playing. However, considering she was trying to please him, he'd forgive her this time. If she continued to take his money, he'd let bygones be bygones. With confidence and self-righteous magnanimity, Lu Yi mentally counted down: ten, nine... three, two, one.
"If you're sick, go get treatment. Don't get in the way here."
Unable to contain her temper, Jiang Yu shoved the person in front of her aside and strode away without even turning her head, leaving Lu Yi standing there alone.
"Jiang Yu".
The man raised his voice, forcefully blocking her way, his teeth clenched. He had never suffered any humiliation at the hands of this woman before, and he was determined not to do so this time either.
Seeing his face flushed red, Jiang Yu worried that she wouldn't be a match for him in a fight, so she watched him rage without saying a word. Passersby, witnessing this, couldn't help but return to their villages and spread the news far and wide:
Shen Ying's family member has gotten entangled with Lu Zhiqing again. I saw it with my own eyes, on the way back to the village from the compound.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the village. When it reached Shen Suisui and Shen Niannian's ears, the two were still eating osmanthus cake.
Shen Suisui's first reaction was: Oh no! She had to quickly store everything away, preferably before her mother saw it. What a waste of the large sum of money her father had given her; it was probably going to end up in another man's pocket now. What would she and her brother do?
She hugged her younger brother, looking helpless.
Jiang Yu had no idea what had happened in the village. In her opinion, Lu Yi was a complete scoundrel, and so many women were infatuated with him; they were simply blind.
“Lu Zhiqing, we shouldn’t have any relationship, right? If you insist on blocking my way, then I’ll have to report this to your administrator.”
She knew that most people sent to the countryside in those days were there to secure jobs back in the city, so naturally they wouldn't dare get involved in anything else. Even if something did happen, they had to keep it a secret for the sake of their future. Besides, anyone could tell which was more important.
Jiang Yu didn't understand this man. In the original owner's memories, there were no close-ups of him except for his attempts to please her. The purpose of saying such things was just to scare him a little. If she really did it, it would inevitably involve her family.
Besides, we just secured a childcare class for Sui Sui. If something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it.
Sure enough, Lu Yi calmed down after hearing her words. He still needed to focus on his future, and as for women, even if he lost Jiang Yu, there were still Jiang Meier and Bai Na eager to please him. However, he still felt it was a pity, since he had personally trained this woman.
Thinking about it carefully, since she has changed so much, something must have happened. Considering that she didn't leave the house for the past two days, and even Shen Ying rushed back from the army, could it be that she has amnesia? Or did that man Shen Ying threaten her in some way?
Lu Yi had a sudden inspiration. Since he couldn't squeeze any money out of her, why couldn't he use her to pull Shen Ying out of the army?
Anyway, their marriage was only possible because of Lu Yi's instigation. Besides, in just six months, he could return to the city and wait for his superiors to arrange a job for him.
Lu Yi's calculations were meticulous. He looked at Jiang Yu, and his voice suddenly softened:
"Comrade Jiang Yu, have you suffered some injustice recently? It's alright, tell me, and I'll make sure you get justice."
Jiang Yu glanced at him, wondering what he was up to, and her guard went up.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you could let me through so I can go home and see my child."
On one hand, she wondered if her earlier threat had worked; on the other hand, she felt he might be plotting something malicious. Always cautious, Jiang Yu chose the latter. Besides, Lu Yi wasn't a good person to begin with. If it weren't for him, would the original owner have died? How could she have transmigrated into a book?
In her opinion, the culprit was Lu Yi.
Lu Yi stepped aside, watching Jiang Yu's departing figure, and thought to himself:
'Things have really changed; people are starting to care about the children now.'
He tentatively began to speak:
"I'll be waiting for you at the usual place at 8 PM tonight."
Jiang Yu twitched slightly and quickened her pace.
