Chapter 58: Was Second Brother’s Injury Related to Wang Yumeng?

Shen Chuning packed her things and rode her bicycle to Shen’s house to get her second brother’s things.

But before going to Shen’s house, she went to He’s house next door.

“Sister He Hui, are you home?” She knocked on He’s door and called out.

“Yes!”

He Hui opened the door, seeing Shen Chuning outside, she was a little surprised, “Ningning, why are you here? How is your second brother?”

After Shen Chuning explained that she was back to pack her things and prepare to take care of her second brother,

she handed the yellow rubber shoes wrapped in yellow rough paper to He Hui, “Sister He Hui, this is from my Big Brother.”

He Hui was startled, her face flushed red, “What is this?”

Shen Chuning smiled, “Size 37 yellow rubber shoes.”

He Hui became even more shy, not daring to look at Shen Chuning, only whispering shyly, “I can make shoe soles myself, why did he spend this money?”

Shen Chuning looked at He Hui mischievously, “Sister He Hui, are you feeling distressed for my brother’s money?”

He Hui’s face turned red like a monkey’s bottom, “You… your brother isn’t anyone to me, why would I feel heartache for his money?”

Shen Chuning blinked her big eyes, “Then if my Big Brother wants to become someone to you, would you agree?”

He Hui shyly glared at Shen Chuning, “Ningning, you’re shameless, don’t make such jokes with me.”

After saying this, she ignored Shen Chuning outside the door and directly closed the door.

Leaning against the door, she held the yellow rubber shoes to her chest, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out.

Shen Chuning smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the matter between her Big Brother and Sister He Hui was just waiting for her Big Brother to propose.

She decided to urge her Big Brother to arrange this after her second brother was discharged from the hospital.

It would be best if her Big Brother and Sister He Hui could settle things before the end of the year.

Shen Chuning returned to Shen’s house to get the things her brother had packed for her second brother and rode her bicycle to the commune.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she saw Wang Yumeng in the ward.

Wang Yumeng had brought a bag of white sugar to visit Shen Zhengliang, and she was sitting by Shen Zhengliang’s bed wiping her tears!

“Comrade Shen, it’s all my fault, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have… woo woo woo…”

Shen Chuning: Could it be that Second Brother’s injury was related to Wang Yumeng?

She frowned, looking at the sadly crying Wang Yumeng.

She was a crybaby herself, but seeing Wang Yumeng cry, she felt disgusted.

This person looked pretty good usually, but why did she cry so ugly?

Her nose and tears were all mixed together.

Unlike her, when she cried, she looked like a weeping willow, so pitiful!

She didn’t know what her second brother saw in her.

She carried her own and her second brother’s two large bags of things and walked into the ward, “Second Brother, I’m back.”

“Oh, why is Comrade Wang here?”

“Comrade Wang, have you been crying?” She looked at Wang Yumeng with feigned surprise.

Then, she didn’t hide her disgust and made a sound, handing her handkerchief to Wang Yumeng, “Comrade Wang, wipe your face quickly. Your nose is running down your face, it’s a little…”

Although she didn’t say the word “disgusting,” she expressed it vividly on her face.

Wang Yumeng’s face was indescribably embarrassed.

She thought she had cried pitifully, but unexpectedly…

Shen Chuning’s words were even more uncomfortable than slapping her twice.

“Thank you, Ningning, no need, I have my own handkerchief.”

Saying this, she quickly pulled out her own handkerchief and carefully wiped her face.

After wiping, she said firmly to Shen Zhengliang, “Comrade Shen, you were injured because of me, I can’t repay you for saving my life. If you need any help in the future, just ask.”

Shen Chuning: Second Brother was really injured because of Wang Yumeng!

She directly asked, “Comrade Wang, I’m curious, why did you say that my second brother was injured because of you?”

Wang Yumeng bit her lip and said apologetically, “I took leave yesterday to go to the city to buy things, and when I returned to the production team, it was getting late, and I met two drunk hooligans.

If Comrade Shen hadn’t happened to pass by, I’m afraid…”

Shen Chuning frowned, her cheeks puffed up, “So my second brother was beaten up like this for helping you fend off hooligans, and you ran away? After you escaped, you didn’t even send a message to get someone to save him?”

Speaking of this, Wang Yumeng also felt a little resentful. She originally just wanted those two to cooperate with her to give Shen Zhengliang a chance for a heroic rescue.

Who knew that after she left, those two actually attacked Shen Zhengliang and beat him up like this.

But Shen Zhengliang was also a fool, two people beat him up like this.

Someone like him, still thinking of her, an educated youth, was like a toad trying to eat swan meat.

If it weren’t for the pendant in Shen Chuning’s hand, she wouldn’t even look at him.

Wang Yumeng’s eyes were filled with tears again, “I… I didn’t know… I was scared…”

Shen Zhengliang looked at her, his face full of distressed.

“Ningning, that’s enough. Comrade Wang is a woman, and she just came to our countryside, it’s normal for her to be scared when she encounters such a situation, don’t talk to her like that.

Besides, I wasn’t injured because I helped Comrade Wang fend off those two hooligans.”

Shen Chuning: …

She stared at Shen Zhengliang, who was frowning on the bed.

This was the first time she had felt angry at her second brother since she had that dream.

When she got angry, her eyes felt sore, and she couldn’t help but want to cry.

But she raised her little face, sniffed, and tried hard to hold back her tears.

Shen Zhengliang looked at her, feeling helpless, and said to Wang Yumeng, “Comrade Wang, thank you for coming to see me. It’s getting late, go back.”

Wang Yumeng wiped the corners of her eyes, nodded, “Mm, Comrade Shen, I’ll go back first today. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

After Wang Yumeng left, Shen Zhengliang beckoned to Shen Chuning, “Ningning, come here.”

Shen Chuning walked to the bedside angrily.

“Sit.” Shen Zhengliang beckoned Shen Chuning again.

Shen Chuning sat down on the stool by the bed angrily.

Shen Zhengliang raised his right hand, which he could still move, and pinched Shen Chuning’s angry little face, “Okay, don’t be angry. Second Brother wasn’t injured by those two hooligans because of Wang Yumeng.

Although Second Brother hasn’t been trained in the army like your third brother, Second Brother learned a few tricks from the old hunter, and has been making a living in the mountains for years, how could he be easily knocked down by two hooligans?”

Shen Chuning didn’t care about her emotions anymore, quickly covering Shen Zhengliang’s mouth, warning, “Second Brother, don’t talk nonsense outside.”

Although their brigade relied on the mountains for their livelihood, everyone tacitly agreed that as long as you didn’t flaunt what you got from the mountains, it belonged to you.

But in principle, the things on the mountain belonged to the country.

If someone heard this and casually put a hat on him for undermining socialism, Second Brother would be arrested.

Shen Zhengliang looked at Shen Chuning’s cautious look, feeling a little complicated.

His sister had really grown up a lot recently, she was no longer the little girl who only knew how to ask for things from them.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhengliang felt a surge of guilt, “Ningning, I’m sorry.”
