Chapter 4

Liu Meilan’s voice was quite loud, attracting many people’s attention.

Zhao Haiyang saw that Qiao Changfu’s face was ashen and the fierce look in his eyes seemed to want to tear him to pieces.

He hurriedly shook off Qiao Xifeng’s hand and crawled down from the high hill.

Zhao Haiyang rushed to Qiao Changfu and stammered, “Director Qiao, please listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think!”

Qiao Changfu’s eyes fell on Zhao Haiyang, trying to determine whether his words were true or false.

Liu Meilan was known for her quick temper. She said indignantly, “In broad daylight, you two are standing on the slope, pulling each other. You are so brave!”

“Qiao Xifeng is engaged, and it’s a military marriage! Zhao Zhiqing, you’ll go to jail if you ruin a military marriage!”

Liu Meilan put a big hat on Zhao Haiyang for destroying his military marriage, and he was so scared that his body staggered and his legs were so weak that he almost couldn’t stand.

As soon as Qiao Xifeng ran over, she heard what Liu Meilan said and became furious.

He yelled at the top of his voice, glaring at her, “Liu Meilan! You are just the women’s director of the village, do you really think you are a cadre?”

Everyone present looked at Qiao Xifeng in shock. No one expected that she would suddenly go crazy.

Liu Meilan looked at Qiao Xifeng in disbelief, “Qiao Xifeng, what did you say?”

Qiao Xifeng rolled her eyes impatiently, crossed her arms and snorted arrogantly.

“I say that the villagers are too ignorant, that’s why they treat your Women’s Federation as a toy. Let me tell you, I, Qiao Xifeng, am different from them. I won’t fall for your tricks!”

Qiao Xifeng was reborn just a few hours ago, and her thoughts and ideas are still stuck in her previous life.

In her previous life, she hated Qiao Baozhu for being luckier than her. She married a promising husband and became the wife of an official in the provincial capital.

But in fact, Shen Xiao is a master in Qingyanshan State Farm.

In front of the ordinary people of Qingyan Mountain, Qiao Xifeng always puts on an arrogant and condescending look.

Qiao Xifeng blocked Zhao Haiyang behind her. She looked at Liu Meilan with half-lidded eyes, exuding unspeakable arrogance.

“Since you introduced me to someone, I’ll kindly remind you.”

“The times have endowed you with a little bit of power so that you can provide good services, not abuse your power or exploit the people.”

The words “abuse one’s power and oppress the people” petrified everyone.

Liu Meilan laughed in anger and turned to look at Qiao Changfu. Thinking of the movements that had been carried out on the farm over the years, Qiao Changfu secretly said something bad and quickly stepped forward to say something nice.

“Comrade Meilan, don’t bother with a child…”

Liu Meilan interrupted Qiao Changfu and said, “Director Qiao, if I remember correctly, Qiao Xifeng is already eighteen years old. Adults should be responsible for their own actions.”

Her eyes were stern, and she pointed at Qiao Xifeng and said sternly, “She has a bad work style and is having affairs with both men and women. According to the organization’s regulations, they should be detained immediately and the committee should be notified to hold a public trial!”

The scene was dead silent. In this day and age, rumors of promiscuity and sexual relations between men and women were no small matter.

Zhao Haiyang was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

“Director Qiao, I am innocent. I did not have any sexual relations with any man or woman! She came to me on her own. I really did not know her before that.”

Zhao Haiyang’s family was poor and he was just an ordinary worker on the farm. After working diligently for several years, he was finally valued by Qiao Changfu.

If he was demoted to labor camp because of his work style problems, Zhao Haiyang would never be able to turn things around in his life.

Thinking of this, Zhao Haiyang’s legs went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

“We weren’t the only ones who saw you holding hands with Xifeng just now. Don’t try to put the blame on my sister alone.”

Zhao Haiyang raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, then he noticed Qiao Baozhu.

Qiao Baozhu looked at Zhao Haiyang with a cold tone, “Who can hold hands and hug when they meet for the first time?”

“I don’t believe this even if you say it!”

Qiao Xifeng was originally furious with Liu Meilan’s criticism and couldn’t think of a way to save herself for a while.

Seeing her ‘mortal enemy’ now, Qiao Xifeng turned her gun around and said proudly: “Believe it or not. Zhao Zhiqing didn’t get married with you, he is a free man!”

At this point, Qiao Xifeng had an idea. She and Shen Xiao had not obtained a marriage certificate, and she was also single. As long as she insisted that she was dating Zhao Haiyang, wouldn’t marriage be a foregone conclusion?

“I haven’t obtained a marriage certificate with Shen Xiao, nor have we held a wedding. I’m still single. We are in a free and open relationship, not having an affair.”

Qiao Xifeng’s bold remarks left Zhao Haiyang dumbfounded.

Qiao Xifeng winked at Zhao Haiyang proudly, signaling him to stay calm.

Looking at Qiao Xifeng’s unscrupulous look, Qiao Baozhu suppressed the corners of her slightly raised mouth.

Her sister was still as arrogant and domineering as ever. She was reborn, but she still thought she was the highest-ranking lady in Qingyan Mountain.

Liu Meilan ignored Qiao Xifeng completely. She stared at Zhao Haiyang, trying to find any flaws on his face.

“Zhao Zhiqing, are you really dating Qiao Xifeng?”

Zhao Haiyang, who was sitting on the ground, slowly stood up, his head lowered with a gloomy expression.

Just now he was overwhelmed by the great surprise of being able to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

In his excitement, he didn’t know what he did. Zhao Haiyang himself didn’t know whether he shook Qiao Xifeng’s hand or Qiao Xifeng touched him secretly.

But what he was sure of was that Qiao Xifeng had tricked him.

Zhao Haiyang was not angry, but was secretly happy.

Qiao Xifeng knew that he was about to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and saw that he had more prospects than that soldier, so she took great pains to get close to him.

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Only an ambitious and resourceful woman like Qiao Xifeng is worthy of him, Zhao Haiyang.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Haiyang weighed the pros and cons and made a choice.

He walked past Liu Meilan and went straight to Qiao Changfu, bent down and bowed deeply.

“Director, Xifeng and I love each other, please agree to our marriage.”

Qiao Changfu’s breathing stagnated, and before he could say anything, he heard Liu Meilan’s furious voice.

“You two are in love with each other, so you don’t care about other people’s lives, right?”

“How dare you two fool around before marriage? What do you think of Captain Shen? What do you think of the army?”

“Director Qiao, you are the boss of the Qiao family. You have to give me an explanation for what happened today!”

“Otherwise I will go to the regiment headquarters right now and publicize everything your Qiao family has done. It depends on the people on the committee. Whether they arrest you or not is the end of you!”

Qiao Changfu was angry and scared, and he wanted to find a rope to hang himself immediately, which would be better than the embarrassment and difficulty he was in now.

“I know I’m sorry to Captain Shen, but what can I do? You’ve seen it too, Xifeng and Zhao Haiyang…”

The word “compromise” lingered on Qiao Changfu’s lips, but he swallowed it. Qiao Xifeng was shameless, but the other girls in his Qiao family still had some dignity.

Qiao Changfu hung his head, looked sad and worried.

“If I had a daughter who could marry Captain Shen, this problem would be easily solved. But I don’t have a daughter!”

Qiao Xifeng looked annoyed, secretly complaining that Qiao Baozhu had a low sense of presence. Even after all this, Qiao Changfu didn’t even think of her.

She tugged at Qiao Changfu’s clothes, pointed her slender finger at Qiao Baozhu’s face, and said righteously.

“Why don’t you just let San Ya marry Shen Xiao for me?”
