After listening to Chu Jingqiu's story, Shu Yahan's face was full of shock. She said in disbelief: "This... How is this possible? When I was first sent down,
There were always some bad guys in the village who wanted to bully us, and it was his father who helped us beat those guys, so our lives were not so hard.
Kaixuan would secretly send me some delicious food at the cowshed. I remember one time, my father had an acute enteritis attack at night.
Her eldest brother and second brother pushed the cart and pushed my father to the clinic. They saved my family's life.
Although Kaixuan is a bit impatient and a bit arrogant, he wouldn't be so easily tricked into harming me by a few words from others, would he?
Chu Jingqiu paused for a moment. "Yahan, excuse me for asking, but when you were sent down there, did you know the Ping family?"
Shu Yahan shook her head, trying to sort out her thoughts: "When we were sent down, we really didn't know the Ping family.
But my uncle knew someone from the Ping family. He used to be a comrade-in-arms with Ping Kaixuan’s father, and the third son of the Ping family, Ping Kainan, was a soldier under my uncle.
After we were sent down to the countryside, although we had drawn a clear line with all our relatives, my uncle still secretly contacted Ping Kaixuan's father, hoping that he could take care of us more in private.
Therefore, the Heike clan's help to us may have initially been due to my uncle's relationship.
But later, Heping Kaixuan and I became friends. I secretly tutored her in cultural knowledge and even saved her life.
That year, I was picking grass for pigs by the river, and she was washing clothes by the river. Over a disagreement, she started fighting with Yingzi from the village, and both of them fell into the water.
Yingzi had learned to swim for a few days and managed to struggle to the shore, but was pulled up by someone.
But Ping Kaixuan couldn't swim and was about to sink. I jumped into the icy river and rescued her.
If she really wants to harm me, then that's really...!" At this point, Shu Yahan couldn't continue, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Chu Jingqiu gently held Shu Yahan's hand and comforted her, "Yahan, I know this is hard for you to accept. The reason I tell you this is not to destroy the friendship between you and He Ping.
I just hope you can be on guard. After all, one should always be on guard against others.
She paused and continued, "The whole thing was instigated by Yue Wenli. Perhaps Ping Kaixuan was bewitched by her and agreed to assassinate you.
But after she goes back, she may become clear-headed, and considering the relationship between you, she will eventually choose to give up.
Of course, no one can say for sure. I just want you to be more vigilant and not be tricked by others."
Shu Yahan's mind was in a mess. She was silent for a long time, as if she was digesting this information.
After a long pause, she raised her head and looked at Chu Jingqiu, "Jingqiu, thank you for telling me this. I'll pay attention to it and find a chance to explain it to her and see how she reacts!"
As a result, before Shu Yahan could find a suitable opportunity to talk, Ping Kaixuan couldn't wait to take action.
That afternoon, Shu Yahan received a call from Ping Kaixuan.
"Sister Yahan, I have good news for you. The suitcase you lost when you returned to the city last year was found, and the manuscripts and other things inside are still there.
It's just...it's just that someone took away those valuable things. Do you still want this box?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Yahan said happily, "Yes, of course. These are all my hard work. In my eyes, these manuscripts are much more valuable than those vulgar things like gold and silver.
Kaixuan, can you help me find someone to bring it over?"
Ping Kaixuan smiled and said, "Sister Yahan, tomorrow is the weekend, and it happens to be my father's 60th birthday. Why don't you come to my house and spend a day there?
Oh, by the way, my boyfriend will be there too, so I'll let you meet him and see if he's a good match for me."
When Shu Yahan heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She asked tentatively, "Kaixuan, you said you didn't have a partner the last time you came. Do you have one so soon?"
Ping Kaixuan paused and said in a low voice, "Sister Yahan, we haven't made our relationship public yet, so don't let anything slip when you come.
Please help me check it out first, and then see if he can pass my parents' test."
Shu Yahan's eyes flashed with a trace of pity. She closed her eyes and slowly said, "Kaixuan, I... I'm afraid I won't have time tomorrow.
I've already made an appointment with my friends to go out in the suburbs. It's already been agreed upon and I can't go back on my word. Please wish my uncle a happy birthday on my behalf!"
Ping Kaixuan was anxious. She asked hurriedly, "Who are you going out with? Is he your boyfriend? What does he do?"
Shu Yahan said calmly, "I don't have a boyfriend. If I were dating someone, would I not tell you? You know this person. It's none other than Teacher Chu."
Ping Kaixuan pressed on, "Is there anyone else? How are you going? Is it his cousin who's sending you there?"
We're going to play outside anyway, so if you don't have anything urgent, why don't you and Teacher Chu come over to my house? The scenery here is pretty good too."
After hearing what Ping Kaixuan said, Shu Yahan felt mixed emotions. She took a deep breath.
Pretending to be relaxed, he said, "Okay then! I'll ask Teacher Chu first. If Teacher Chu is willing, then we'll go to play with you tomorrow. Please wait and don't leave. I'll call you back later."
Ping Kaixuan shouted excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Okay, hurry up! I'm waiting for you!"
In the family compound, Chu Jingqiu was packing up, while Xiao Yihan was holding Xiao Kexin and playing with a small windmill.
Chu Jingqiu had just put Xiao Kexin's clothes into the bag when the phone rang.
Xiao Yihan picked up the phone out of habit. When he heard that the other party was Shu Yahan, who was looking for Chu Jingqiu,
He whispered to the bedroom, "Xiao Qiu, it's Teacher Shu calling!"
Chu Jingqiu hurried out of the bedroom, took the phone from Xiao Yihan and started answering it.
Shu Yahan was reluctant to say too much on the phone, so she simply told her that Ping Kaixuan had an appointment with her tomorrow.
She wanted to ask Chu Jingqiu's opinion, and if possible, she hoped Chu Jingqiu would accompany her to meet Ping Kaixuan.
Chu Jingqiu didn't expect Shu Yahan to trust her so much, nor did she expect Ping Kaixuan to take action so quickly. She immediately agreed and promised to accompany her to Ping Kaixuan's hometown the next day.
Xiao Yihan heard a clue from Chu Jingqiu's words, "What's going on? Ping Kaixuan can't wait to take action?"
Chu Jingqiu nodded. "Yes, he really went to great lengths to trick Shu Yahan into coming over. He even found the suitcase she lost a year ago."
Xiao Yihan thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid she hid this box secretly! She coveted the money in other people's boxes and stole it secretly.
Even if he were to use it as bait now, he would still be reluctant to spit out the money. He is really greedy.
But this is also good. It's easy to be a thief, but you can't be on guard against thieves. Since she has chosen to take action, we don't need to be polite to her!"
