Chapter 38 The Scumbag is Back

He Wanqing’s head lowered with each word her mother said, until she had nowhere left to lower it. She then raised her head and gave a flattering smile, thinking to herself, “Thank goodness I only went over the wall to beat people up, I didn’t do anything else, and I didn’t use the space. Otherwise, I would have been exposed as a monster right now.”

“Alright, stop looking so pitiful. You’ve beaten up He Cao, Zhu Sanni and her daughter, and those two wives enough. Now be quiet and don’t cause any trouble. Be careful not to be caught.”

“Mom, I understand. I promise I won’t go beat them up anymore.” She could wait until Xu Weijun appeared, and then she could beat them up. By then, people wouldn’t say she was savage, they’d say she was provoked and changed her temper, and they would pity her, and look down on Xu family and He Cao even more.

“Let’s forget about that. Now tell me about the educated youth.” Thinking about the educated youth who kept sending things to compensate her, Shen Yu Niang was very satisfied with his handsome face. But she was also worried that he might not be good enough, and when he could return to the city, he would leave her daughter behind.

“Mom, Jiang Zhiqing and I have nothing going on. Except for that day when we rolled down the mountain, we were alone for a while. Every other time he came, you were at home. You know that.” Although she was very satisfied with his face, she shook her head when she thought that he might be the short-lived fiancé of He Cao.

“Where is his family from? Do you know?” Shen Yu Niang asked thoughtfully, looking at the blush on her face.

“I don’t know.” Even if she did, she wouldn’t say. She wasn’t idle.

“Then what about the thing you two did?” Shen Yu Niang was thinking a lot because it concerned her daughter’s reputation. She knew that people in the village weren’t talking about it now because of the rumors about He Cao and her, and Xu Weijun. But now, with their efforts, He Cao was tied to Xu Weijun, so who knew if the rumors about her and the educated youth would spread? Thinking about the current atmosphere, Shen Yu Niang looked at her daughter who was indifferent, and she was anxious and worried. She had lost the ease she had just now.

“Daughter, although the people who saw what happened that day were all from our family, there’s no guarantee that they won’t tell others. So we need to be prepared.”

“Mom, that’s not necessary! We just bumped into each other when we fell down. It’s not like we were rolling in the hay…” As she spoke, she also remembered the current atmosphere, and her face immediately turned cold. She remembered what Zhu Sanni and Xu Dahua had said. “Mom, what should we do?” It was probably too late to cover it up, since so many people had heard it. When they went home and asked the people who went up the mountain that day, they would know if it was true or not.

“You stay home and watch the two little ones. I’ll go find your grandpa and grandma.” After handing over the two great-grandchildren to her, Shen Yu Niang left in a hurry, her feet burning with anxiety.

“Mom…” Before she could finish, the only response she got was the sound of the door closing. Seeing this, she put her two nephews on the ground to play, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

At this time, outside, as the mother and daughter had said, the women who had watched the show went home and inquired, and they heard the truth. Although it was a little different from what Zhu Sanni said, they had definitely kissed. A few nosy people went directly to Jiang Cheng, who was working, and asked him, but he managed to send them away. However, the rumor spread, but because of He Cao’s incident, not many people knew about it. It was probably also because there were fewer old women in the fields. Otherwise, the whole brigade would have known within a day.

Shen Yu Niang found Grandma He and the others, and after telling them about the incident, she sat down and watched. It wasn’t until they talked about precautions that she felt relieved and left. However, she didn’t go home, but went to the field where people were working to see them. When she got home, Zhou Xiao and the others who were digging wild vegetables were just making lunch. They didn’t go home, but helped with the cooking. During lunch, she told them about it again, and now Grandpa He and the other men took it more seriously. Grandma He said her thoughts, and also talked about her observations these days. Finally, Grandpa He told He Jialin to investigate in the afternoon, and then the matter was settled. They didn’t ask He Wanqing’s opinion at all, they just told her the result.

He Wanqing was both excited and a little resistant to their consideration of Jiang Cheng as her other half. She was hesitant, but didn’t know how to say it. Looking at her family who went their separate ways after dinner, she thought for a moment and didn’t say anything. She planned to find an opportunity to talk to Jiang Cheng in the evening.

However, she was a little too optimistic. Not long after she finished thinking, Shen Ping ran in in a hurry. “Sister, something big happened!”

“What happened?” It couldn’t be the commune people coming, could it?

“Xu Weijun is back! He’s at the entrance of the village.”

“What? Really???” She jumped up. How could this be? Wasn’t he hiding? He was still planning to scheme against her with He Cao? And… Her eyes looked out the window, thinking about what happened in her last life. In her last life, when did Xu Weijun come back? Oh, it was noon on the day of the wedding. And because he came back in a hurry, even the wedding procession was replaced by Xu Xiahua and her sister. But now they said he was back. She couldn’t believe it. Would He Cao agree? She remembered that when she died, Zhu Sanni said that they had lived in the commune for a long time. Because He Cao had made money selling ginseng from the mountains, she had just bought a house the day before her wedding. It was also for this reason that she agreed to He Cao being with her son, and she suppressed her, not allowing her to join the army or get a marriage certificate. Recently, she had been looking for He Cao’s hiding place for money. Although she hadn’t found the money, she had a general idea of where it was. But that wouldn’t make Xu Weijun appear so many days in advance, would it?

“He’s back, but he’s not here voluntarily. He was caught after being reported!” Shen Ping saw her confused expression, thinking that she liked Xu Weijun, and immediately explained.

“Caught? ” What was this all about?

“Yes, Jiakang said that He Cao went to find Xu Weijun, but she didn’t see them. Then, after confirming who she was looking for, he left someone to watch over them and took people to catch them in the act. They caught him right away. Now everyone is at the entrance of the village, Sister, are you going?” Shen Ping remembered why she came back, and immediately pulled her and asked.

Without thinking, she nodded. “Go!” Such a good opportunity to beat someone up. If she didn’t go, wouldn’t it be a pity to miss it?

Hearing this, Shen Ping was happy. “Let’s go.” The two sisters ran out together, listening to Shen Ping’s account as they ran. When she learned that not only He Jiakang had helped, but also Jiang Cheng and his companions, He Wanqing’s eyes flickered.

Wu Xia and the others, who were a few steps behind them, ran as fast as they could, telling them to slow down, so they wouldn’t run out of breath and suffer later.
