Chapter 4

“Little sister, little sister.”

I heard his voice before I saw him.

The cheerful voice was obviously that of her mother, Ye Hongmei.

“Mom!” Song Ruan quickly ran to the door to greet her family.

“Dad, Mom, eldest brother, third brother.” Song Ruan’s voice was hoarse.

After having that dream, seeing them again seemed like a lifetime ago.

“Oh, my dear, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Ye Hongmei obviously misunderstood the reason why Song Ruan was crying. “Mother has heard everything. I will go and seek justice for you later.”

Oh no, it seems that the person who just eavesdropped in the cornfield spread the news very quickly.

Seeing that Song Ruan didn’t say anything, Ye Hongmei looked at her with a complicated look and said, “If you still want to marry that Zhao guy, I can also find a way to make him break up with that vixen Chen Hongying and marry you.”

She was really afraid that her daughter would seek death for Zhao Jianguo again.

Song Ruan quickly said: “No need, I have already broken up with him.”

Song Ruanniang’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

Song Ruan nodded: “Really.”

“That’s great.” Song Ruanniang smiled with her eyes curved, glad that her daughter finally figured it out.

Behind her, her father, eldest brother, and third brother all looked obviously relieved.

Her third brother was the first to speak: “That’s great. I was worried that my sister would be stubborn and insist on marrying that Zhao Jianguo.”

Her father heard this and said jealously, “She used to help that boy with farm work. We can’t even say a bad thing about that boy.”

“Well,” her steady eldest brother concluded, “it’s like lard has blinded your heart.”

Song Ruan was ashamed and angry, begging for mercy: “I admit that I was blind before, please don’t mention these dark histories.”

As soon as she finished speaking, they all laughed, and even the most steady eldest brother smiled.

The second brother Song Wu spoke up at this time: “Big brother, third brother, although my sister broke up with that bastard Zhao Jianguo, we can’t let him off easily. The three of us have to teach him a lesson and let him know that our little sister is not so easy to bully.”

“Hey, no, no, no, really. Brothers, I don’t want to have anything to do with Zhao Jianguo anymore. Let’s go in and eat, okay? It will get cold if we don’t eat now.”

The eldest brother Song Wen looked at his sister and saw that she did not look fake, so he said, “Listen to our little sister and don’t get involved with that kind of person in the future.”

Seeing this, Ye Hongmei also reminded them: “There must be a lot of gossipers outside waiting to gossip. Remember not to talk nonsense when you go out, or you will ruin my sister’s reputation.”

The brothers quickly responded.

Song Ruan felt warm in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart that he must change the ending of his three brothers and his parents in the dream, so that they would all be well in the future.

At the table, a family of six was happily eating dinner.

The staple food is steamed corn bread made of pure sweet potato flour, and there are two dishes, one is pickled sauerkraut and the other is freshly picked wild vegetables.

“Little sister, why do I feel that you have become more beautiful?” The third brother Song Cai has always been good at observation.

“Yes, it seems so.” Several people took a look and agreed.

“I look good every day, okay? When did I not look good?” Song Ruan was already experienced in changing the subject. “Second brother, the food you cook is terrible.”

“Ah?” Song Wu raised his head from the steamed bun, a little confused that his sister suddenly disliked his cooking skills.

Song Ruan said coquettishly: “I will cook from now on.”

Song Wu was even more confused: “But didn’t you say you don’t like cooking?”

“But now I suddenly love cooking, is that not okay?” Song Ruan glared at her second brother.

“Okay, but can you do it?”

“Yes, yes. I’ll let you taste my cooking skills tomorrow.” Song Ruan said confidently.

The other people had complicated expressions. Although Song Wu’s cooking was not delicious, at least it was edible. The little sister usually just helped out, so it was not worth asking her to cook…

How could Song Ruan not understand their expressions? Humph, just wait and see, they will be shocked when I cook tomorrow.

She was not being blindly confident. In her dreams, when she lived in the city, she had to do all the dirty and tiring work, not to mention cooking.

Later, she worked in a restaurant. The proprietress was very kind to her and was generous in teaching her the best skills, so her cooking was really delicious.

The reason she was able to escape later was because she borrowed the boss’s kitchen, secretly made some snacks to sell, and saved some money.

“What a coincidence.”

After dinner, Song Ruan went out for a walk to digest the food, but unexpectedly she met Yang Bin.

Yang Bin stared at her closely with his dark eyes. After a while, he said, “Unfortunately, I came here specially to find you.”

Song Ruan bent her eyes and said, “Okay, then… let’s talk while we walk?”

“Um.”

Song Ruan couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth. This Yang Bin was really as her second brother said, taciturn. He said he came to see her specially, but they had been walking for such a long time and he still didn’t say a word.

Forget it, forget it. How can we let a taciturn man speak first? Women must take the initiative.

Song Ruan bent her almond eyes and asked, “Didn’t you come to see me on purpose? What’s the matter?”

Yang Bin hesitated: “Zhao Jianguo, he…”

“Oh? Are you here to ask me for gossip and make fun of me too?” She came out for a walk and met at least three people who came to gossip with her.

The tall and strong man next to him immediately said nervously: “Of course not.”

“Zhao Jianguo said that I’m not a good partner because I refused to do that kind of thing with him. Do you also think that this is not a good thing for me?” Song Ruan’s voice was about to cry, but where he couldn’t see, the corners of her lips raised playfully.

“You are good, it is he who is bad, you…don’t be sad.”

Song Ruan stopped, pressed down the corners of her lips, her face looked a little innocent, and turned to look at him: “Then, is it because I’m not good-looking enough that he treats me like this?”

“How is that possible?” He also stopped and looked at her fair and beautiful face, with the tips of his ears slightly red. “You, you are the prettiest.”

He knew that she had always been good-looking, but today she was extremely beautiful, dazzlingly beautiful, so beautiful that it made people’s hearts sway.

Song Ruan tilted her head: “Oh? Then why don’t you dare look at me?”

“Could it be…” Song Ruan stretched out her voice, deliberately teasing him, “Could it be because you kissed me today?”

“……sorry.”

Song Ruan shook her head: “Don’t say sorry.”

He had never done anything wrong to her. He just helped her with work silently in normal times, and even in his dreams, he avenged her silently after she died.

She was the one who felt sorry for him.

She easily misjudges people, but fortunately, she can now see the good in him.

Unlike Zhao Jianguo, a weak and hypocritical person, he is taciturn but practical, and full of masculine charm.

“I’ve broken up with Zhao Jianguo now, let’s… start a relationship.” Her pretty face showed a serious and straightforward expression.

A struggle flashed across the man’s deep eyes: “No.”

The word “no” seemed to carry a heavy weight. He hated his own rationality at the moment.

“What did you say?” Song Ruan widened his eyes.

The man lowered his eyes: “You… deserve better.”

No one knew how much he loved her, so much that he had to suppress himself and think about her.

Song Ruan was ashamed and angry: “You, you… Humph! I hate you so much!”

After saying that, she ran away without looking back.

Damn Yang Bin! Stinky Yang Bin! She was with Zhao Jianguo and it was Zhao Jianguo who confessed his love first. It was the first time she confessed her love in her life, and he actually dared to reject her!

Seeing her run away angrily, Yang Bin secretly slapped himself, but he felt aggrieved again. Why didn’t she ask him a few more questions? If she was more resolute, would he lose his inferiority and rationality like he did when he kissed her today?
