Chapter 128 : Clear Stupidity

Fang Xiaoluo smiled with curved eyebrows, her skin glowing white and smooth in the sunlight, making her look like a porcelain doll. Zheng Lanhua sighed and said that the Shen family’s ancestors must be very proud of themselves, having married such a beautiful girl.

“Mom, shall we go to Red Flame Village together?”

Zheng Lanhua was stunned for a moment. “I’m going too?”

“I want you to go, but of course, it depends on your own wishes,” Fang Xiaoluo said. “When Haifeng is on summer vacation, I want to take the three children to my parents’ place to help harvest corn. It will be good exercise.”

“I was thinking, Mom, you haven’t met my parents yet. In-laws are family, so it wouldn’t hurt to meet them.”

Zheng Lanhua agreed, “Okay, if you don’t mind me being too much trouble, then let’s go together.”

Fang Xiaoluo was very happy. “It’s no trouble at all. What trouble?”

Shen Haifeng was actually a little nervous during the exam because he really wanted to do well. But when he saw the test paper, the nervousness gradually faded. This exam wasn’t like the midterm exam, where he didn’t know the questions. This time, he knew what to expect.

Shen Haifeng answered quickly. Although he was unsure about a few individual questions, he felt he did well overall.

After finishing the Chinese and math exams in the morning, Shen Haifeng was in a good mood.

When he returned home, he eagerly found Fang Xiaoluo and said, “Mom, I think I did well in the exam.”

Fang Xiaoluo asked, “When will the test papers be handed back?”

“Next Tuesday,” Shen Haifeng replied.

Fang Xiaoluo calculated and said, “Then you can pick up the papers and your summer homework on Tuesday, and we’ll go to Honge Village on Wednesday. How about I take you to grandma’s house?”

“Good.”

Fang Xiaoluo continued, “You did well this time. I won’t tutor you next semester. It’s tiring for me. From now on, you will have to keep up with your lessons on your own. It depends on you.”

Shen Haifeng solemnly promised, “I will study hard.”

After lunch, Shen Haifeng and the others didn’t sleep. Since they had finished the exams, they weren’t too concerned.

The children ran out to play.

Shen Haifeng also took Shen Haiping outside.

The house had been quiet for only two minutes when someone entered the yard.

Fang Xiaoluo heard the voice and looked out the window. Wasn’t this Yan Mingyi?

Shen Zheng said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”

Yan Mingyi didn’t see Fang Xiaoluo, so he could only ask, “Captain Shen, I’m here to see Comrade Fang.”

“What’s the matter?” Shen Zheng asked.

Yan Mingyi had spent two days in Honghe Village asking around about certain things and felt he needed to come here.

“I came here to apologize to her,” Yan Mingyi said.

Shen Zheng led Yan Mingyi to the living room. Fang Xiaoluo walked over and asked, “Didn’t you apologize the other day? Why are you here again?”

Yan Mingyi said, “I’m sorry, I wanted to take revenge on you because of Wang Hongfang.”

When Shen Zheng heard this, he became angry.

Fang Xiaoluo asked, “Wang Hongfang?”

Yan Mingyi nodded, “Yes, Wang Hongfang came to me and said that you had been bullying her and kicked her into the river, almost drowning her. She hoped I could help her get revenge.”

“I went to Honghe Village these past two days to inquire. It’s Wang Hongfang’s own issue. You’re not the person she said you are. What’s more, you saved my sister.”

Fang Xiaoluo crossed her arms and said, “You’re not a bad person. You’re not completely brainless. You even went back to Honghe Village to ask about things. You know you were wrong, and you still came here to apologize. That’s pretty impressive.”

Yan Mingyi felt that Fang Xiaoluo was praising him and was very happy.

“So, you accept my apology?” Yan Mingyi asked. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you again. I’ve also told my brothers that you’re our family’s savior.”

Fang Xiaoluo replied, “However, Wang Hongfang was right about one thing, which is that I did kick her into the river.”

Yan Mingyi was stunned. “But…but everyone in the village said she wanted to commit suicide because she was depressed.”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “Do you think I would kick her into the river and then go around telling the whole village that I did it? Do you have any brains?”

After a long pause, Yan Mingyi asked, “Then why did you tell me?”

Fang Xiaoluo: “Because of the clear stupidity in your eyes.”

Yan Mingyi: …

Is this a compliment or an insult?

Fang Xiaoluo asked, “Do you like Wang Hongfang? If I’m not mistaken, you like her, but she neither refuses nor agrees. She’s just keeping you hanging.”

Yan Mingyi was a little embarrassed but still said, “That was in the past. Since yesterday, I’ve decided not to like her anymore.”

Fang Xiaoluo looked at him and said, “Not bad, you even looked back. I thought you were stuck hanging on a tree.”

Yan Mingyi touched his nose and said, “I’ve figured it out clearly now. She likes your eldest brother. She was just using me this time. Thanks to this incident, I’ve become more sober. Even though I don’t have any great abilities, I know a lot of people. If you have any problems, you can always come to me.”

He pointed to something on the ground and said, “This is my apology gift. I hope you’ll accept it.”

After that, Yan Mingyi left.

Fang Xiaoluo said, “This Yan Mingyi is quite interesting.”

Shen Zheng: “I don’t see what’s so interesting about him. What’s interesting about a grown man?”

Fang Xiaoluo looked at him suspiciously, “Don’t you think he has some good qualities?”

Shen Zheng: “I don’t think so.”

Fang Xiaoluo reached out and pinched his face, “Why are you acting weird?”

Shen Zheng grabbed her hand, “Do I have it? I don’t.”

Fang Xiaoluo snorted, “Men’s words are deceitful.”

Shen Zheng pointed to his face and said, “I’ll show you with a practical action.”

Fang Xiaoluo glared at him but still stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the face.

Shen Zheng took the opportunity to hold her in his arms and said softly, “I feel like the way Yan Mingyi looks at you isn’t right. He must like you.”

Fang Xiaoluo suddenly burst out laughing. “Comrade Shen, you have too little confidence in yourself. Let me put it this way: I look at the face. Have you ever seen a man who’s more handsome than you?”

Shen Zheng coughed lightly, “Of course not.”

Fang Xiaoluo patted his shoulder and said, “Okay, it’s good to have this awareness.”

A few days later, it was time for Shen Haifeng to pick up his test papers.

After finishing her work in the morning, Fang Xiaoluo went to get her bicycle. “I’ll take you there. After you get the papers, we can go shopping in Qingshi Town.”

Shen Haifeng nodded, “Okay.”

Fang Xiaoluo said, “We agreed before that both subjects must score above 80 points. If you achieve that, I’ll reward you with 100 yuan.”

Shen Haifeng was surprised, “One hundred yuan? So much!”
