Chapter 9
"You second-rate guy, stop meddling in other people's business here." Zhao Pengfei raised his fist but was stopped by Jiang Yao. "You still want to hit someone, right? If you punch me, I promise to report it to the police."
As they were talking, Jiang Yao had already walked out the door. She said to Lu Che, "Don't worry about him. Just keep moving."
Lu Che did not reply, but changed from holding the box with both hands to holding it with one hand. After the hand that Zhao Pengfei was holding was freed, he swung it hard, and the skinny Zhao Pengfei almost lost his balance.
Lu Che, who was freed, continued to be his porter.
Zhao Pengfei was already furious, and now Jiang Yao didn't listen to him and instead helped Lu Che, the landlord's son, which was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
"Jiang Yao." He reached out to grab Jiang Yao's hand, but she dodged it nimbly.
Zhao Pengfei was so angry that he raised his voice several degrees and shouted directly, "Jiang Yao, I know you are mad that I am dating Jia Jia, but you can't move into the wolf's den just because you are angry. You will only get yourself into trouble..."
"Wait." Jiang Yao raised her hand and interrupted him. "What do you mean I'm mad that you're dating Jia Jia? Are you kidding? Who you're dating is none of my business. How can you be so shameless?"
"You..." Zhao Pengfei was so angry that he couldn't help but say what he didn't want to say. "I know you like me, but I always treat you as a sister. You can't force feelings, but don't worry, no matter what, I will take good care of you."
"Fuck you." Jiang Yao cursed directly, "Who gave you the confidence to say that I like you? When did I ever say I like you?"
Zhao Pengfei: "You didn't say that, but you didn't enjoy the good life in the city and came to the countryside with me. I don't need to say it, everyone understands."
"You are so shameless that you dare to over-interpret other people's behavior." Jiang Yao sneered, "I went to the countryside to respond to the country's call to build the motherland. I did go to the countryside for love, but I love the motherland, not you. Please stop being narcissistic."
"Jiang Yao, you..." Zhao Pengfei's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed. Finally, he stomped his feet and left angrily.
Seeing this, Du Yuejia didn't try to avoid suspicion and chased after him.
Although it was ugly to have such a commotion so early in the morning, she was still very happy because Zhao Pengfei had just announced in front of everyone that they were dating.
"Okay, everyone, hurry up and go in. Don't gather at the door and let people laugh at you." Zhu Xia urged everyone inside, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all about being watched, because what Jiang Yao said was so pleasing to the eye.
Everyone present had the same feeling, including Lu Che, who treated himself as a tool and kept moving things back and forth. When he turned his back to everyone, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Of course, he didn't notice it himself.
After Lu Che carried all of Jiang Yao's belongings onto the ox cart, she really had to say goodbye to the educated youth center.
"Yaoyao, you must be good in the future. When you go to your fellow villagers' home, you must get along well with them and control your temper." Zhu Xia gave Jiang Yao advice like an older sister.
"I know. Am I the kind of person who has no sense of propriety?" Jiang Yao said with a pout.
"You are it." Zhu Xia was amused by her and said, "Anyway, I'm at Auntie Tian's house. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future." Then, she said to all the educated youths, "We will be disbanded today. I don't know when we will get together again. We all left our hometowns to come here. We are each other's family. Even if we don't live together in the future, our hearts are together."
The emotion of parting was stirred up, and everyone hugged each other and expressed their reluctance to leave.
Lu Qing was somewhat moved watching from the side, while Lu Che sat on the ox cart and watched it all with cold eyes.
As soon as Jiang Yao hugged Zhou Qiong, Jiang Chao walked up to her and wanted to hug her.
She knew that Jiang Chao was interested in her, but facing this friendly embrace, she couldn't deliberately avoid it.
"Jiang Yao, if you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me." Jiang Chao extended his hand to Jiang Yao. At this moment, an impatient voice sounded, "Do you want to leave or not? I still have to go to work."
When everyone heard the sound and looked over, they saw Lu Che with a stinky face, which clearly said "If you want to leave, leave now. If not, forget it."
Although the Lu family was not from a good family, Jiang Yao was going to live under someone else's roof after all. Zhu Xia did not dare to delay and pushed Jiang Yao forward, "Go ahead. I'll come find you when I'm free."
"Okay." Jiang Yao nodded, then got on the ox cart with Lu Qing.
Lu Che sat in the front and drove the ox cart towards the Lu family.
Back at the Lu family, the task of moving things fell on Lu Che again. Lu Qing pulled Jiang Yao towards the main hall, "Grandma asked me to cook egg syrup early in the morning. Let's go eat it."
"There's also egg syrup. This is too much money for you." Jiang Yao felt a little embarrassed, but was also happy in her heart.
She really did not choose the wrong place. Everyone in the Lu family was kind and nice. Even Lu Che, who always had a cold face, although his attitude was not good, moved things quickly and neatly without any complaints.
"How could that be?" Lu Qing said, "Everyone is a guest, and we should treat you well, but our family is limited now, so please don't laugh at me."
Jiang Yao: "I'm so happy, how can I laugh at you?"
After drinking egg and sugar water in the main hall and chatting with Old Lady Lu for a while, Lu Qing took Jiang Yao to her room.
"Your room is close to the backyard and has all the basic furniture. It was smashed before and is a bit torn, but Lu Che has fixed it. I also cleaned it last night, so you just need to pack your things later." Lu Qing said.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the room, and Lu Che was moving the last box of things back to the room.
"Have you finished moving?" Lu Qing asked.
"Okay." Lu Che put the box on the table, turned around and said to Lu Qing, "I'm going to take a shower and then go to work."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the room without even glancing at Jiang Yao.
Lu Che's cold attitude made Lu Qing, as his sister, feel a little embarrassed. She could only explain to Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry. Lu Che didn't mean it. He just... I don't know how to put it. He's just used to it."
"Sister Qing, you don't have to tell me, I understand." Jiang Yao said: "His indifference is a shell to protect himself. I know he is a good person."
Lu Che, who was striding outside the wall, suddenly paused, but quickly continued forward.
"Yes, that's what I mean." Lu Che said with a smile: "As long as you understand, just don't bother with him."
"No."
"Just treat this place as your own home from now on. Of course, if staying here affects you in the future, you can move out. Just tell us the truth and we will understand." Lu Qing had a heart-to-heart talk with Jiang Yao, and then helped her pack up for a while before going out to work.
Now that Jiang Yao was the only one left, she began to look around the room.
If the Youth League Center is a youth hostel, then the Lu family's room is a luxury suite in a five-star hotel.
Although the blue brick walls and blue brick floors are not as good as the ceramic tiles of later generations, they are much smoother and cleaner than the mud walls and mud floors of the educated youth site.
In addition, there was a large bed, dressing table, wardrobe table, chairs, and all the necessary furniture was there. Even though it had been damaged as Lu Qing said, it still looked great after careful repairs.
Jiang Yao opened the wardrobe and was about to put her clothes in when the door suddenly became dark.
She looked up and saw Lu Che standing at the door. Because he had just taken a shower, his short hair was still shining with water droplets.
"Is there anything wrong?" Jiang Yao asked.
Lu Che stared at her and said in a warning tone: "Behave yourself here and don't cause any trouble. Don't run around everywhere, especially don't bother my grandma."
At the end of his speech, he spoke each word with pause, and his eyes became increasingly cold and stern.
If it were someone else, they would have been frightened by the gaze of such a big shot, but Lawyer Jiang had been in the industry for many years and had seen many evil people. At this moment, he calmly greeted him and said, "I know."
"I'm glad to know." Lu Che turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Yao.
"Anything else?" Lu Che paused and asked impatiently.
Jiang Yao quickly took out a five-dollar bill from her messenger bag and handed it to him, "This is this month's rent, keep it."
Lu Che glanced at the money, left a sentence "Just give it to my grandma or my sister", and then left without looking back.
Jiang Yao looked at his unhappy back, not knowing how she had offended him again. She pursed her lips, put the money back, and continued to clean up.
She had a lot of stuff, which had been placed in a mess by the original owner. But when she was packing yesterday, Jiang Yao had already sorted them out by category, so now she just had to take them out and put them away.
It took Jiang Yao about half an hour to tidy up the room. At this moment, she heard footsteps outside the door. Just as she raised her head, the twin brother and sister had already run to her door and said, "Sister Yaoyao, there are three sisters outside looking for you."
"Three sisters?" Jiang Yao was confused. When she went out, she saw that they were Zhu Xia, Zhou Qiong and Wen Qian. They came to find her to go to the county town together.
They had just "separated up" and were missing some things, so they had to go to the county town to get them.
There is no woman who doesn't like shopping, and Jiang Yao was certainly happy to do so. She went back to her room, took the money and tickets, said goodbye to the brother and sister, and went out.
"Yaoyao, it seems that you get along well with the Lu family!" Zhou Qiong said sullenly, "I thought it would be nice to go to the secretary's house, but who knew that there were seven or eight children in their family, and they were all hostile to me and told me not to eat their rice."
"My situation is similar to yours." Wen Qian said, "The captain usually takes good care of us educated youth, but his sisters-in-law stare at us with eyes that are more fierce than the other. Now it seems that there is really no place better than your own. No matter how shabby the educated youth's place is, it will not be despised by others."
"Don't be like this, you two. I'm in the Tian family, and the uncle and aunt are kind to me, but their son and daughter-in-law don't welcome me very much." Zhu Xia comforted them.
According to the current situation, Jiang Yao is the best, but Zhu Xia couldn't help but remind her: "Yaoyao, you live in the Lu family now, and Lu Che is unmarried. You should keep your distance from him. There are many women in the team who want to see you make a fool of yourself."
"That's right." Zhou Qiong agreed, "Lu Che was very active when he helped you move things this morning. Maybe he likes you!"
"How is that possible?" Jiang Yao blurted out, "He just came to warn me. That look could kill me."
Just as he finished speaking, a man suddenly appeared from the sugarcane field nearby, with the same murderous look that Jiang Yao had described.
The author has something to say:
Xiaomi: Why are you so fierce?
Lu Che: Yaoyao actually said that I don’t like her, I’m angry!
Xiaomi: ...
