Chapter 83: Different Fates for Different People
Shen Chuning gradually got into the groove.
The corn stalk she was focusing on and controlling with her mind actually started to grow taller visibly, the corn cob enlarged, then the corn leaves and the outer shell of the corn cob withered and turned yellow, until it was fully mature.
Looking at that unique corn stalk, Shen Chuning felt physically tired but mentally excited.
She could actually use her mind to accelerate the growth of crops.
Shen Chuning, with renewed vigor, continued to use her mind to control two, three, four… stalks.
Until she controlled five stalks at once, her body was exhausted.
She thought she could hold on a little longer and let these five corn stalks mature.
However, before the corn matured, she collapsed.
When she woke up, she looked at her watch and found it was already the next morning.
She had spent the whole night in the space!
If someone had come to look for her last night…
Shen Chuning felt her body.
Before she collapsed last night, she clearly remembered the feeling of all her strength and energy being drained.
But now she felt refreshed and more energetic than before.
She felt that she could definitely ripen five corn stalks at once now, maybe even ten.
But she had to go to work at the commune and didn’t have time to stay in the space.
She quickly left the space, washed up quickly, took a large steamed bun she had made and put in the space, ate it while pushing her bicycle out.
Time in the space seemed to be still.
Everything put into the space would remain the same as when it was put in, no matter how long it stayed.
So recently, when she cooked, she often cooked extra, putting the leftovers in the space.
When she didn’t want to cook or didn’t have time to cook, she would just take it out to eat.
Shen Chuning left home a little late today, just as the early work bell rang, villagers were going out to work in groups of two or three.
The Zhou family also went out at this time.
Lin Shulan saw Shen Chuning and came over, lowering her voice, “Ningning, be careful when you go to and from the commune, Mother heard that the brigade secretary’s daughter from the neighboring brigade, who worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, was a little late getting home from work and was almost dragged into a grove by a hooligan.
The hooligan hasn’t been found yet, you should tell Accountant Peng to get off work early every day and come back, don’t delay.”
“Mother, I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll come back early.” Shen Chuning responded with a smile and got on her bicycle.
Lin Shulan watched her leave and reminded her to be safe again.
“Oh, Lin Shulan, your daughter-in-law is going to the commune again?”
As soon as Shen Chuning’s figure disappeared, a sarcastic voice came from behind Lin Shulan, “Your youngest son has such good eyesight, marrying Shen’s precious daughter, she runs to the commune every day, not even looking at the fields, I wonder how much salary your youngest son has to support her.”
Lin Shulan turned to see that it was Widow Li.
She immediately lost her temper, “None of your business!”
If her daughter-in-law hadn’t specifically told her to keep her studies with Accountant Peng a secret, to avoid attracting trouble, she really wanted to publicize that her daughter-in-law was chosen by the commune accountant and would be Accountant Peng’s successor, one of the “eight major officials” of the commune.
Just wait!
In twenty days, after her daughter-in-law passed the assessment and officially became the commune accountant, she would slap those gossiping women in the face!
Widow Li was choked by Lin Shulan and looked at Lin Shulan’s proud back, gnashing her teeth angrily.
Why was that girl so lucky?
Back then, Shen Qingsong refused her for that girl.
Seeing that the girl was spoiled and lazy, she was waiting to see the joke.
Unexpectedly, the girl was favored by Zhou Yubai, the most promising man in the whole brigade and even the whole commune.
Now she didn’t even get her feet dirty, riding her bicycle to the commune every day.
Lin Shulan, who used to be so strong, actually spoiled her.
Although Widow Li was very angry, she was helpless.
She could only go to work angrily.
At this time, Li Xiaolan, who was a few steps behind, had a bitter expression, was there such a good mother-in-law as Aunt Shulan in the world?
When her daughter-in-law was confinement, she had eggs to eat every day, three chickens for a month, and could rest for three months without working.
Such a good mother-in-law was rare, maybe even in the whole country.
She thought Lin Shulan was already good to Sun Fengjiao and Xia Yue’e, but now she was even better to Shen Chuning.
Except for Lin Shulan, who else would tolerate a daughter-in-law like Shen Chuning?
Seeing her daughter like this, Zhao Xiuyin knew she liked the Zhou family and still missed Zhou Yubai.
She quickly reminded her, “Xiaolan, let’s go. I’m telling you, no matter how good Lin Shulan is, her son can’t marry you, give up on this.
Director Lu will find a suitable man for you in two days, go on a blind date honestly. Did you hear me?”
Li Xiaolan frowned, “Mother, I know, haven’t I already agreed to you? Don’t keep nagging in my ear.”
Shen Chuning felt a pair of eyes on her while working at the commune today.
Several times she looked up and followed the gaze, only to see Yin Linjiang quickly looking away.
Shen Chuning was slightly puzzled.
Until Yin Linjiang’s gaze really interfered with her work, she got up and asked Yin Linjiang, “Comrade Yin, you’ve been looking at me all day, is there something inappropriate about me? Or do you have something to tell me?”
Facing Shen Chuning’s frankness, Yin Linjiang blushed and quickly waved his hands, “No… no…”
He was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.
He had been trying hard not to look at Shen Chuning.
But he didn’t know what was wrong, his eyes couldn’t control themselves, unconsciously following Shen Chuning’s beautiful figure.
Just looking at Shen Chuning made him feel happy and relaxed.
If he couldn’t see her, he felt like there were cats scratching his heart.
Yin Linjiang suspected he might be sick.
Seeing him like this, Shen Chuning felt embarrassed and quickly said, “I may have misunderstood, Comrade Yin, I’m sorry!
Continue working, I’ll go back to work too.”
Shen Chuning quickly returned to work.
After that, she often caught Yin Linjiang’s gaze, and it felt very awkward every time.
And from that day on, when she got off work and went home from the commune, she always felt like someone was following her.
But every time she looked back, there was no one, or just ordinary passersby.
Shen Chuning suspected that she was affected by her mother-in-law’s story about the girl being dragged into the grove by a hooligan, making her suspicious.
