Chapter 67: The Crickets Behind Them

After finishing his meal, Shen Xingchen was returning to the educated youth point when he was suddenly blocked by Song Hewei.

He immediately took several steps back and kept a distance from her.

Seeing this, Song Hewei felt a pang of pain in her heart. She was not a venomous snake or a ferocious beast. Was it necessary to do this?

Shen Xingchen spoke first: “Song Hewei, I already have a partner now. It’s impossible to be with you. Give up!”

Song Hewei reflected deeply while waiting.

She felt that she was pushing too hard, which made Shen Xingchen develop a rebellious mentality, so he just found someone to be with.

So she decided to change her strategy.

The first step to change the strategy is to change the name so that the other party can relax their vigilance.

“Shen Xingchen, don’t worry, I have thought it through now and will not pester you anymore.

I am waiting for you here just to make peace with you.

After all, we still have to live under the same roof, and we will see each other every day. We don’t want to get along like enemies, right?”

“It would be great if you can think so.”

“Of course, I am not bad either, so there is no need to hang myself on your tree.

However, I think it is necessary to write a letter to your uncle to tell him about such a big thing as finding a partner.”

“This is my business, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“Okay, then I wish you happiness.”

After saying that, Song Hewei turned around and walked away, as if she had really let it go.

Shen Xingchen didn’t think much about it.

But Song Hewei turned around and wrote a letter back. In addition to complaining, she also mentioned “in passing” that Shen Xingchen had found a fool as a partner in the countryside.

She knew that her stepmother was a chatterbox and would definitely tell the neighbor Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang’s son and Shen Xingchen’s cousin were high school classmates and are still working in the same workshop.

As long as she sends this letter, Shen Xingchen’s cousin will know, and if the cousin knows, Shen Xingchen’s uncle will also know.

Xu Jianzhong is so good to Shen Xingchen, he will definitely not agree to him being with a fool.

Of course, Xu Jianzhong is far away in the capital, and even if he disagrees, Shen Xingchen may not listen to him.

But it doesn’t matter, she still has a trick.

That is next year’s college entrance examination.

Shen Xingchen will definitely take the college entrance examination, and he will definitely pass it.

As long as Xu Jianzhong holds Shen Xingchen and doesn’t let him get married within this year, Shen Xingchen will leave Lianhua Village with the college entrance examination.

As long as Shen Xingchen separates from Mai Sui, she can take advantage of the opportunity.

Moreover, within this year, she can still find a way to get close to Shen Xingchen.

The CQ medicine she bought on the black market last time has not been used yet.

She found several black market dens and bought it for a huge sum of 200 yuan.

If she hadn’t stolen her stepmother’s small treasury before going to the countryside, she wouldn’t have had the money to buy it.

Because of buying this medicine, Song Hewei now has only more than 80 yuan left.

Although it seems like a lot, she is not good at working and her family can’t send her money. These are her last guarantee.

It seems that she can’t buy eggs from the villagers often in the future.

This CQ medicine that cost a huge amount of money must not be wasted!

This is her golden key to a better life!

However, it must be done without any traces, and Shen Xingchen must not find out that it was her who drugged him.

Otherwise, Shen Xingchen will probably hate her even more.

Song Hewei’s abacus was clattering, and she didn’t realize that Chen Chien had been secretly observing her.

She thought the other party was a pug she raised, and as long as she gave him some benefits, he would listen to her and let her do her bidding.

As everyone knows, dogs and wolves look very similar.

……..

In the afternoon, Shen Xingchen went to the field to harvest corn as usual.

Yang Lin, who was working with him, suddenly poked him with his elbow: “Look, who is that?”

Mai Sui came over with Mai Lao San.

Mai Sui walked in front with a faint smile on his face, looking in a good mood.

Mai Lao San walked behind with a long face, as if someone owed him money.

But as soon as Mai Sui turned around, Mai Lao San’s face immediately changed, showing a big smile, looking quite like a kind father.

Shen Xingchen immediately went to meet him, holding a freshly picked corn in his hand.

“Uncle Mai San, why are you here?”

Mai Sui frowned, feeling slightly dissatisfied that Shen Xingchen only called Mai Lao San and not her.

As everyone knows, Shen Xingchen was just a little embarrassed.

Mai Sui said, “Shen Xingchen, stop working. Come fishing with me. Let Mai Lao San do the work in the field for you.”

After that, she turned to look at Mai Lao San.

Although Mai Lao San was very reluctant, he immediately stepped forward enthusiastically due to Mai Sui’s power, snatched the corn from Shen Xingchen’s hand, and kept saying,

“Yes, Shen Zhiqing, you go fishing with Mai Sui, I will do the work, I am the best at harvesting corn.”

In fact, Mai Sui didn’t want to exploit Mai Lao San, but as luck would have it, when Mai Sui went out, he happened to see Mai Lao San being lazy and beating Hu Tou.

Hu Tou is the grandson of Mai Xiangdong and the son of Mai Juncai.

Raising a child in the countryside is not so precious. As long as you make a mistake, you will inevitably get a beating.

Hu Tou was beaten by Mai Lao San and screamed.

Mai Sui didn’t care what happened between them. Maybe Hu Tou was naughty and deserved to be beaten.

But since Mai Lao San has time to beat the kid here, it means he has nothing to do, so he should go help Shen Xingchen with work.

So, he dragged Mai Lao San away.

Hu Tou immediately changed to a gloating expression and made faces at Mai Lao San.

“Long live Auntie, Third Grandpa, Lelelelelelelele~”

Mai Lao San was so angry. If he had known this, he would have walked away when he was lazy.

Mai Sui was still worried that he would pretend to obey but secretly disobey, so he gave a death order:

“All the corn in this field must be harvested this afternoon, otherwise you won’t have dinner tonight.”

There was not much corn left in the field. As long as he didn’t slack off, he and Yang Lin would definitely be able to harvest it together, and maybe even get off work early.

What could Mai Lao San do? He just nodded in agreement.

Shen Xingchen didn’t have the nerve to let Mai Lao San work for him, so he quickly refused.

But he was pulled away by Mai Sui.

You know, people are conservative these days, and even couples don’t hold hands when they walk outside.

What’s more, Mai Sui and Shen Xingchen were just in a relationship.

Mai Sui obviously didn’t realize this, and directly pulled Shen Xingchen away. Many villagers around saw it.

Shen Xingchen wanted to pull his hand back, but Mai Sui held it tightly, and he didn’t have enough strength.

Seeing that many people were looking at them, Shen Xingchen immediately reminded Mai Sui: “There are people, let go.”

Mai Sui didn’t understand: “There are people, there are people, we are not afraid of the light.”

Mai Sui’s attitude was tough, and Shen Xingchen couldn’t persuade him at all. He could only let her lead him to the river with a red face, and received a lot of attention along the way.

He could imagine how many villagers were whispering about them behind their backs at this moment.

However, looking at Mai Sui’s unusually firm look, Shen Xingchen felt warm in his heart again.

Chen Chien also saw it, and specially reminded Song Hewei to look.

“Look over there! You know what, although Mai Sui is not smart, she is really beautiful.

The two of them standing together look quite compatible.”
