Chapter 56: Confession



"Yun Zhiqing, you misunderstood. I'm not such a vicious person. To be honest, I was moved the first time I saw you, and I wanted to date you with the purpose of getting married." The man didn't expect Yun Siying to say that, and explained anxiously, without the certainty and confidence he had at the beginning.

"No, it's best not to. I'm still young and don't want to be in a relationship. Besides, you're not my type. Please leave quickly and don't bother me here." Yun Siying didn't want to get entangled with him too much, so she continued walking forward after saying that.

Chang Huaxing felt unhappy when he saw her attitude, thinking that since he had a stable job in the county town, many female comrades in the surrounding brigades wanted to marry him.

"Yun Zhiqing, you are an orphan girl who went to the countryside, and you have a huge amount of money. Several second-rate guys in the village have already targeted you, and your current situation is very dangerous. I have a job in the county town and receive a salary every month. Marrying me is your best choice. After marrying me, you don't have to go to the fields to earn a penny every day. You just need to give me a few fat sons and live with me in peace." Chang Xinghua really liked Yun Siying's looks, and she had money, so they could live a good life together after marriage.

Yun Siying felt ashamed after hearing this. She even gave birth to several big fat boys. She looked like a person who favored boys over girls. "No, I can live better on my own."

Looking at the delicate and tender Yun Siying, she thought of those educated youth who married into the village. They all chose to marry villagers because they could not bear the hardship of working in the fields or were afraid of being harassed by scoundrels.

I want to see how long she can hold on: "Then I won't bother Yun Zhiqing anymore." He snorted coldly and left quickly.

After handing in the pig grass, Yun Siying looked at her watch. It was only nine o'clock in the afternoon and there was still early time. She continued to go to the fields to pick pig grass. She used her spiritual power to find several places where pig grass grew lushly. In less than an hour, she picked another basket of pig grass.

The scorekeeper was a little shocked when he saw Yun Siying coming to hand in the task again. In order to prevent Yun Siying from cheating, he even poured out the pig grass to check again. Looking at the green basket of pig grass, he said with a smile: "Yun Zhiqing, I didn't expect you to be a good pig grass picker."

"I was lucky too. I came across a patch of hogweed that was growing well, so I went a little faster." Yun Siying smiled, but she was actually rolling her eyes in her heart. After watching the scorekeeper give her four points, she returned the tools and went back to the Youth League Home.

Seeing that Nangong Ruochen's door was still locked, she took out the key. This was the key that Nangong Ruochen gave her when she and the others were having dinner together. At that time, he said, "You keep the key. Sometimes the three of us have urgent matters and cannot come back on time. We have to trouble you to help cook."

Taking the wild rabbit she had shot yesterday and the vegetables Aunt Cuifen had given her last night, she opened Nangong Ruochen's cupboard, found the rice, and started to cook lunch.

In the field, it was almost eleven o'clock and Nangong Ruochen had not come down the mountain yet. Although the two were reclaiming wasteland, they were a little anxious. During the year they went to the countryside, they often wandered around the mountains and paid attention to the villagers' every move.

Han Yuecheng looked towards the forest from time to time, but still did not see Nangong Ruochen. He asked in a low voice: "Banghua, do you think Nangong is in any danger?"

"The boss is in good health. He shouldn't be in danger. Don't worry." Chen Banghua looked at the mud under his feet and comforted him, but he was also worried about his friend's safety.

As they were talking, they noticed someone coming down the mountain. They glanced at the person and found that it was not Nangong Ruochen, but a man from the village who was carrying a basket of dry firewood. The two did not pay much attention to him.

After the man was out of their sight for a while, Nangong Ruochen appeared at the entrance of the forest. They were about to say hello when they received a signal from the boss. Chen Banghua said, "Nangong, we got some game today. We haven't eaten meat for a long time."

"I didn't go deep into the mountains today, so I didn't encounter any game. It's almost time to go down, and I have to go back to make lunch." Nangong Ruochen had a look of regret on his face, and he picked up his hoe and walked away, fearing that it would be too late and Siying would be hungry.

"Wait, the two of us also want to leave early today and work a little longer in the afternoon." Chen Banghua looked at the boss today and thought he should have discovered something.

The three of them moved closer together, and Han Yuecheng asked in a low voice: "Nangong, did you gain anything today?"

"I'm not sure. I just have some doubts. Pay more attention to Li Gang in the village in the future." Nangong Ruochen whispered to the two brothers.

"knew."

The three of them returned to the Youth League Home and saw Siying busy in the room. Nangong Ruochen felt satisfied and quickly walked into the room.

"You guys go out, I just prepared the food, go wash up, it's time to eat!" Yun Siying looked at the three people who came into the room one after another, and felt that the space was a lot smaller.

"Siying, thank you for your hard work. The food looks delicious. It makes us drool." Han Yuecheng's eyes sparkled as he looked at the pot of dry-pot rabbit meat and the large bowl of cabbage and vermicelli soup on the table.

"Then you should eat more later." People who cook want to be praised for their delicious food. Then he looked at Nangong Ruochen and said, "I'll use the rice in your cupboard to cook today."

"It's okay. The rice is bought here to be eaten. If you like rice, I'll buy it another day." Nangong Ruochen didn't care, as long as Yun Siying liked to eat it.

"No need. I can start cooking in a few days. Go wash the dishes quickly. I'll go serve the rice." Yun Siying drove a few people away. She was already hungry.

The four of them ate the sumptuous meal happily, but the people in the Youth League Institute suffered. There was a lack of oil and water, and if anyone wanted to eat meat, they had to wait until the New Year, when the village slaughtered the New Year pig.

Now, people can smell the aroma of meat every day but cannot eat it. They can only stand by and drool while gnawing on the rough, dry and hard steamed buns without any appetite. Some people are gradually becoming dissatisfied.

"Dad, Jianguo, Ruxue called back today." Tang Lingxue's face looked a little bad as she looked at the three men who came home.

"Is Ruxue okay?" Shu Jianguo asked worriedly. The child had just gone to the countryside and her money had been stolen. He didn't know if she was hungry.

"Ruxue fell on the field this afternoon and knocked out two front teeth. In the evening, her arm was broken by a tile. I asked you if you sent her money. She went to the post office today, but there was no remittance slip for her. She has no money for treatment now." As Tang Lingxue spoke, her heart ached, her eyes turned red, and tears overflowed from her eyes, ran across her face, and fell on her clothes.

"Is someone up to no good?" Why did Shu Jianguo feel that something was not going well for the child after he went to the countryside?

"Ruxue didn't say anything. I plan to get up tomorrow and go to where Ruxue is in the countryside to take care of her for a while." Tang Lingxue had no work to do this time, so she had plenty of time.

"Mom, I'll go with you tomorrow. I just happen to have a fifteen-day vacation." Shu Chengzhi was very worried when he heard that his sister was injured. He wished he could fly to the place where his sister went to work in the countryside.

"Okay, then you and your son should go to the countryside." Shu Jianguo made the decision.
