Chapter 67 : Seduction

Chen Xianyun smiled happily. She could hear so many compliments even while cooking. She was full of energy every day. “If you like it, eat more.”

Qin Xiaoting showed off three buns in a row before stopping, feeling unsatisfied.

When Chen Xianyun left the kitchen, while Jiang Li wasn’t paying attention, she quietly dropped a drop of spiritual spring water into the Qi family’s large water tank and whispered, ‘Drink it, and you will be healthy and strong. Make lots of delicious food.’

Jiang Li turned her face away, suppressing the smile on her face, pretending not to see it, and urged Qin Xiaoting to go into the city.

“I have something new to tell you. Guo Haifeng was beaten up. Haha,” Qin Xiaoting covered her mouth and laughed. “As expected, God punishes those who are mean. I don’t know which hero did it for me and didn’t even leave his name. Lizi, it can’t be you, right?”

Jiang Li was still holding a bun in her hand, her mouth puffed up, and she shook her head, saying, “It’s not me.”

Qin Xiaoting nodded. “I guess so. Lizi, you definitely wouldn’t hide anything from me. Who did it?”

At the same time, inside the Dashuping Youth League Center, Guo Haifeng was lying on the bed, holding his stomach and groaning, cursing the thief who had put a sack over his head and beaten him the day before.

Chang Jinguang, who was awakened by the wailing, turned over heavily and made a dissatisfied noise, “If you want to howl, get out of here and wail. If you keep wailing here, how can others sleep?”

“Why should you care about what I do? You’re such a poor guy who can’t even afford to eat.”

“What did you say?” Chang Jinguang threw back the blanket and sat up, pointing at Guo Haifeng and said, “Say it again!”

Guo Haifeng refused to back down. “I’m talking about you, a skinny, poor bastard. Even your partner doesn’t want you anymore and married another man. If I were you, I’d kill myself by hitting my head against the wall, rather than embarrass myself here!”

“You touched my letter? You spread this? I’ll beat you to death!”

“Everyone in the Youth League Center knows that your boyfriend dumped you. Why do you need me to tell you?”

Chang Jinguang rushed forward and grabbed Guo Haifeng’s neck, his eyes flashing with madness. “I will kill you, I will kill you!”

The air in his chest became thinner and thinner. Guo Haifeng felt stars in his eyes as his life slipped away bit by bit. The huge fear gave him strength, and he kicked Chang Jinguang to the ground!

Then he covered his neck with his hands in horror, unable to speak. He was afraid that this madman, Chang Jinguang, would really kill him.

Chang Jinguang finally came to his senses, looked at his trembling hands, and went out without looking back.

He walked aimlessly in one direction, walking further and further away. His stomach rumbled, and his hands and feet became weak.

He looked at himself in the river, his dry and yellow skin, chapped lips, and swollen face and body, with dents where he pressed.

Since he went to the countryside, he had hardly ever had enough to eat. He sent all the money he brought with him and the food he was given to Yulian.

He knew that a woman in the countryside would have a harder time than himself, but he didn’t expect that Yu Lian would compromise despite such help.

She wrote in the letter, “Brother Jin, I am getting married. It is a helpless choice. Life has bent me down and dragged me into this quagmire. I can only grab the nearest life-saving straw at hand. Brother Jin, if we are destined to return to the city one day, we will meet again then.”

Chang Jinguang roared to the sky, knelt on the ground, pounded his fists, and then silently shed tears after a long time.

When he wiped his tears and stood up again, he had made up his mind that he also wanted to get married.

Change the current situation by getting married, survive first, and then wait to meet Sister Lian again in the future.

He first went back to the house and wiped the dirt off his body. Seeing him come in, Guo Haifeng shrank back. Xu Caixia, who was standing by, looked at him with dissatisfaction and stopped feeding him water with the spoon.

“Living in the same room with such a person, Brother Feng, you are wronged.”

Guo Haifeng didn’t dare speak and avoided Chang Jinguang’s gaze. Fortunately, Chang Jinguang didn’t go crazy again. He changed into clothes with fewer patches and went out.

He usually wore that extremely tattered blue cloth suit when working, and only changed into the gray one when going into the city.

Guo Haifeng was a little curious, but Xu Caixia didn’t care. “Who cares? Brother Feng, don’t go to the fields today. I’ll ask the team leader for leave for you. Don’t worry, half of the work points I earned today will be credited to your name and count as yours. Don’t worry about the manure-carrying work. I’ll help you when I’m done. Just focus on recovering from your injuries.”

Guo Haifeng pretended to be embarrassed and said, “It’s too much trouble for you to keep doing this, Caixia.”

Xu Caixia’s heart started beating wildly when she was addressed like that. “Brother Feng, why are we still talking about this?”

Guo Haifeng held Xu Caixia’s hand with a look of deep affection, “After going through the most difficult times, I finally knew who the most sincere people around me were.”

There was affection on his face, but it was not in his eyes. He couldn’t go back to the city for a while. He had lost the money to buy a job and had not yet compensated for the sows. The captain would definitely not let him go back for a while.

Since he’s going to stay in the countryside for a long time, he can’t do it alone.

Although Xu Caixia is not good-looking and her family is poor, she is strong and can help him with work, so now he has to keep her.

“Brother Feng, what is our relationship now?” Xu Caixia asked shyly, looking at Guo Haifeng expectantly.

Guo Haifeng felt sick in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. “Of course you are the person who knows me best. You are the only one who cares about me, takes care of me, and cares about me. Our relationship, needless to say, is all in our hearts.”

Xu Caixia was a little disappointed. She wanted Guo Haifeng to admit in person that they were in a relationship.

But now Guo Haifeng showed no intention of giving in, and she couldn’t make a fuss. She had to wait until he was willing to do so.

“Brother Feng, you know. I only like you as a person. I don’t care whether you have money or not. As long as you are sincere to me, I am willing to give you everything I have.” Xu Caixia leaned her head gently in Guo Haifeng’s arms, her face full of infatuation and madness.

Guo Haifeng held onto Xu Caixia, suppressing his nausea, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After leaving the educated youth point, Chang Jinguang went straight to the Li family. He had observed that Li Chunlan basically did not go to work except during the busy farming season. In the morning, she usually worked in their private plot of land.

As expected, he saw Li Chunlan across the courtyard wall. Seeing that she was the only one around, Chang Jinguang took a deep breath and walked over, “Comrade Li Chunlan, are you weeding? You are really capable. I have never seen you idle. Indeed, women hold up half the sky, and you are the best among them.”
