Xie Zhi saw Jiaojiao, took off his glasses lazily, and put his arms on the desk: "Jiaojiao, why are you here?"

"Stop talking. I'm so embarrassed. I went to find Hongyan and planned to go to the back hill to pick mushrooms together, but I saw them...them."

Xu Jiaojiao was so embarrassed that she stood in front of Xie Zhi angrily and hit him lightly.

Xie Zhi felt itchy when he saw his little wife's lovely appearance, and felt extremely thirsty when he saw her lips opening and closing constantly.

The man put one hand on her waist and gently led her to sit on his lap. He put her arms on his shoulders and his nose was filled with Jiaojiao's unique fragrance.

Xu Jiaojiao's face turned red instantly, but she said nothing and sat obediently on her husband's lap.

Xie Zhi opened the drawer, peeled a piece of candy for Jiaojiao, put it into the girl's mouth, looked at her big round eyes blinking, and couldn't help but move closer to kiss her trembling eyelashes.

Then, he lazily asked, "Do you want to take a nap? It might be very hot now."

Xu Jiaojiao shook her head and refused, and answered honestly: "I just ran here and sweated, and I won't sleep anymore. It's just that no one wants to go pick mushrooms with me."

Xie Zhixiao's eyes narrowed, his black pupils sparkling: "Why don't you go find Yang Mei? I remember you gave her candy."

"But I don't know where she lives."

Xie Zhi raised his wrist, looked at the watch on his hand, and smiled: "I'll take you to find her, okay? It's still in time for the class at two o'clock."

"What to do during lunch break?"

"I walk very fast, so a half-hour lunch break is enough." Xie Zhi said seriously.

Xu Jiaojiao blinked her eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. Apart from her parents, she would never find such a good person again.

He took out the orange soda from the basket: "Mom, mix it for me, drink it."

Then she unscrewed the bottle cap. The bottle had been chilled in the well, so it was still cool to the touch.

Xie Zhi moved closer, their noses touching. He stared at the girl with his dark eyes. He took a sip of the soda from Jiaojiao's hand, and then deliberately made a "tsk" sound.

"Very sweet, like you."

A blush appeared on her face. She screwed up the soda bottle hastily and tried to escape in a panic. She had just taken a step.

"Jiaojiao, won't you hold my hand?"

Xu Jiaojiao turned around and saw Xie Zhi's hand reaching out to her. The fresh breath melted her. The two of them clasped their fingers together and walked out together.

Yangmei's home is not far from the school and also close to the back mountain. When the get out of class is over, she can go and pick up Jiaojiao.

When seeing this scene, Xu Jiaojiao was quite at a loss. Most of the houses were brick houses, and at least some had tiles on them.

But Yangmei's home is covered with straw and plastic sheets. It is very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter.

The two walked in and saw the family sitting under a tree eating. Fortunately, they were almost done eating.

To be honest, Xu Jiaojiao had never been aware of the fact that she had come here through a book. After all, her family spoiled her very much and she always had snacks and candies from her brother and Xie Zhi, and even orange soda.

Even though I knew that most people’s conditions were not as good as mine, I never expected it to be this bad.

In front of the five people was a plate filled with chopped chili sauce and a basket of steamed buns made of cornmeal mixed with flour. They seemed very hard and their faces showed pain as they ate.

Xu Jiaojiao just felt very uncomfortable, and even regretted being dressed like this, so she could only whisper: "Yangmei.

When Yang Mei heard the voice and turned around, she saw Xu Jiaojiao and Xie Zhi. The two of them were standing next to the pool with their hands tightly clasped together.

She smiled unnaturally and asked awkwardly, "Jiaojiao, why are you here?"

After saying that, she immediately stood up and tried to block the dishes on the table. She clearly saw the confusion in Xu Jiaojiao's eyes.

Yang Mei knew that the girl would not look down on her, but she still felt inferior in her heart. Looking at the green ribbon twisted on the side of the girl, she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Xu Jiaojiao saw her confusion, focused her eyes on her, and asked softly: "Yangmei, I want to ask if you want to go to pick mushrooms later."

"Oh, isn't this Teacher Xie and Jiaojiao?" Yangmei's mother came out of the house carrying water. Her smile deepened when she saw the two of them.

When his eyes turned to Yang Mei, his expression changed: "You bitch, you don't even know how to ask Teacher Xie and Jiao Jiao to sit down. You have no sense."

"Go get some water."

"No, no, I just want to ask Yangmei if she wants to go to the back mountain. If she doesn't, I'll leave first." Xu Jiaojiao replied embarrassedly.

Then, he lowered his eyes and hid his legs behind Xie Zhi. The gaze of the man at the table was too frightening for him.

Mother Yang looked at her eldest son's greedy expression towards Xu Jiaojiao, a gleam in her eyes, and she immediately stepped forward and tried to pull him over.

But when he saw Xie Zhi's eyes, his movements froze instantly.

His sharp gaze swept through everyone in the yard, and when he looked at Yangmei's brother, his narrow black eyes narrowed, with a bloodthirsty murderous aura.

Yang Tianci immediately lowered his head in fear, not daring to look at Xu Jiaojiao.

After a long while, Xie Zhicai said with a half-smile: "Jiaojiao, I will accompany you to find Yangmei in the future."

After saying that, they left without waiting for Yangmei's reply. The two of them walked quickly, completely ignoring the noise coming from the yard behind.

Mother Yang was so angry that she was about to explode. Her face was gloomy and she lost her previous attempt to please her. She picked up the broom in the yard and hit Yang Mei hard on the back. The clothes, which were thinly washed, instantly seeped out blood.

With a curled mouth, he said sarcastically, "You bitch, why don't you leave Xu Jiaojiao behind? Wouldn't it be perfect for your brother to play with her? Ah, do you want to keep the Yang family as your last resort?"

After saying that, he hit him hard with the broom a few more times.

Yang Mei couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying, but she didn't even dare to hide. The habits she had acquired since childhood made her feel only fear when facing this woman who was shorter than herself.

"Mom...Mom Jiaojiao has a husband now. She married Xie Zhi."

"So what? It's not enough for Xu Jiaojiao to be your brother's toy. It's better to have a child. Look at the life of Village Chief Xu and what he eats. Then look at our family. Your brother is so outstanding. He sleeps with this woman and follows her wholeheartedly. Then everything in the Xu family will be ours."

Yang's father and Yang Tianci at the table looked as if they had known it, and they even ate with more relish. In their opinion, what Yang's mother said was absolutely correct.

Especially Yang Tianci, who is fat and has big ears, and a greasy face. It is obvious that he has sucked all the blood in the family, but his parents are eager to dedicate all their flesh and blood to their son.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yang's mother immediately began to wipe her tears and tried to be sympathetic: "Xiaomei, it's not that mom wants to force you. Our family is connected with Xu Jiaojiao, and when you marry into your husband's family, mom will have the confidence to support you, right?"

“Look at how much benefit Sheng Jie got from Xu Jiaojiao, and he is still a widow.”

Yang Mei was almost in despair. She closed her eyes tightly, tears sliding down from the corners of her eyes. She looked at her brother with despair as he wiped his snot on the dining table, trying hard to hold back the urge to vomit in her heart.

"Mom, look at my brother. He is no match for Teacher Xie."

Before she finished her words, a chipped enamel bowl hit the girl's thin back hard. For a moment, she felt like she was about to die, and a strong smell of blood emerged in her throat.

I could hear clear insults and the sound of my mother crying while holding the bowl in her arms.

"You bitch, if you dare to say that to me, I will beat you to death."
