Chapter 14

It is 20 miles from the village to the county town.

There would be ox carts from the village to the commune or county town, but not every day.

At most four or five times a month, after all, villagers rarely go to the commune or county town.

There were no ox carts from the village going to the commune today, so Qin Lingnian and Yun Angge could only walk to the commune to see if they could meet ox carts from other brigades.

Not to mention walking to the commune, even walking to the county town would be easy for Qin Lingnian, but for Yun Angge, walking dozens of miles was not a challenge but a disaster.

After all, the original owner came from a wealthy family and had been spoiled by her family since she was a child. Before the “Big Movement” began, she was picked up and dropped off by car whenever she went out, and later when there were no more cars, she would still use a bicycle.

After she went to the countryside, she gritted her teeth and persevered in doing farm work for two or three months before she got a meal from Qin Lingnian, and continued to live a life of luxury that she could not lift or carry.

Her body was already fragile, and she was seriously ill. Asking her to walk dozens of miles would be like taking half her life.

But Yun Angge had to grit his teeth and hold on, even if he had to crawl, he had to crawl to the county town.

Qin Lingnian has to return to the army early tomorrow morning, so he has to get the marriage certificate today no matter what.

After walking two miles, although Yun Angge tried hard not to rest, his pace slowed down unconsciously, and beads of sweat covered his pale face.

When the footsteps behind him disappeared, Qin Lingnian suddenly realized something. Looking back, he found that Yun Angge had fallen far behind him, so he stopped and waited for her.

When Yun Angge caught up with him, panting, Qin Lingnian saw that her pale face looked like it had been washed by water, and the hair on her forehead and the small exposed part of her white neck were also wet with sweat.

My heart moved slightly, and I felt a slight pain.

He looked around and saw that there were no pedestrians on the empty road. He said shyly, “How about I carry you on my back?”

Yun Angge wiped the sweat from her forehead and took two deep breaths without any ladylike manner. She almost nodded in agreement, but in the end she remained reserved and shook her head, “No, I’ll walk slowly.”

She was going to join the army, so she couldn’t act too squeamish. Otherwise, if he thought she couldn’t endure the hardship and didn’t let her go, it would be a waste of time.

Qin Lingnian said nothing more, turned around and continued on his way, but his pace slowed down a lot.

Fortunately, it is not too far from the commune, only 6 miles away.

However, the commune was still 14 miles away from the county town, and Qin Lingnian kept repeating to himself that he must encounter an ox cart, otherwise this delicate little woman would probably walk her feet to pieces.

While Yun Angge was hurrying on his way with sweat all over his forehead, Luan Yingjie was racking his brains to find a way to calm Qin Feng down.

Because Qin Feng had three older brothers, she was loved by her parents since she was born. When her two younger brothers were born, she became the only daughter in the family, and Qin Wanliang and Li Xian’e doted on her even more.

Seeing that she suffered such a great humiliation and had her finger pierced by the scissors, Qin Wanliang and Li Xian’e, as well as the brothers Qin Darong and Qin Dagui, were really heartbroken.

As much as they felt sorry for Qin Feng, they were as angry with Luan Yingjie.

Of course, they also hated Yun Angge and Qin Lingnian, but they couldn’t vent their anger on them, so they could only vent their anger on Luan Yingjie.

“Wow… I’m so angry…” Li Xian’e snatched the scissors from Qin Feng’s hand, but she didn’t care about the pain in her fingers. She picked up a piece of rag and tore it hard while crying and shouting: “I have never been so embarrassed since I was a child… Wow… I will not be able to face people in the future…”

“Luan Yingjie, it’s all your fault…” Qin Feng’s youngest brother, Qin Daguan, was only 15 years old, at the age of youth and vigor. In addition, he had a bad temper. Seeing his sister so heartbroken, he kicked Luan Yingjie in the stomach.

“Ah…” Luan Yingjie was also a dramatic actor. Qin Daguan’s foot just touched his stomach. He screamed and fell backwards, hitting his head on the edge of the table.

This time, it really hurt, and he grimaced and screamed even more miserably.

But Luan Yingjie didn’t care about the pain in his head. He crawled to Qin Feng and snatched the scissors from Li Xian’e’s hand. He bit his back teeth, closed his eyes and stabbed his left arm.

“Hiss… Feng’er… I’m sorry…” Luan Yingjie’s voice was sobbing, and the pain made him gasp for air continuously. The intermittent sound sounded like sobbing.

“Yingjie, don’t… don’t hurt yourself…” When Luan Yingjie raised his hand to stab for the second time, Qin Feng suddenly crawled over and grabbed his wrist in panic and distress.

“Feng’er, I’m sorry… It’s my fault… I made you sad and hurt… I can’t do anything but be with you and get hurt and suffer together…”

Luan Yingjie was not made of steel, and even though the wound was not deep, he was still shaking with pain. His face was unconsciously covered with tears and snot, and he kept repenting and feeling sorry.

Not to mention Qin Feng, even Qin Wanliang, Li Xian’e and others were moved when they saw him apologizing like this, and their anger disappeared instantly.

“Yingjie, I don’t blame you…” Qin Feng tightly grasped Luan Yingjie’s wrist and cried heartbreakingly, but there was no anger in her heart, only heartache for Luan Yingjie, “Don’t hurt yourself… wuwu…”

Qin Wanliang leaned over and pulled the scissors out of Luan Yingjie’s hand. His expression and tone softened. “Kid, if you do something wrong, just apologize. How can you hurt yourself like this?”

Luan Yingjie sniffed twice, raised his head, looked at Qin Wanliang with tearful eyes, then looked at Li Xian’e, and finally stared at Qin Feng with grievance and heartache.

“Uncle, Aunt, Feng’er, I’m sorry… It’s all my fault. I was too confused at the time and thought things were too simple… At that time, Yun Angge saw that Feng’er and I were dating, so she asked me to send some things to Feng’er, hoping to use the opportunity to get close to our family and wash away her reputation as a capitalist daughter…”

At this point, Luan Yingjie raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Feng imperceptibly. Seeing that she didn’t seem to be angry, he continued to lie unscrupulously.

“But, Yun Angge was found out to be the daughter of a capitalist family. I was afraid that if Feng’er accepted her things, people would misunderstand that she was bribed by the capitalist family, which would damage the reputation of Feng’er and our family…

But I saw that Feng’er’s health was not very good, and I had long wanted to buy some good things for her to replenish her body. However, I was too incompetent and could not earn so much money and tickets, so I had to accept the things Yun Angge gave me privately.

In order not to arouse suspicion from outsiders, I said that I bought it for Feng’er… Who would have thought that Yun Angge would suddenly bite me back. Now she has Qin Lingnian’s support. I can’t confront them head-on, so I had to admit these accounts…”

“Yun Angge, that bitch!” Qin Feng believed Luan Yingjie unconditionally again, and wanted to tear Yun Angge to pieces. “She must have known that Qin Lingnian came back to get a marriage certificate with her, and her identity was recognized by the army, so she dragged Qin Lingnian into a double act with her.

First, she can prove to others that her identity is fine, and second, she can get back the things she gave away… Besides, she can make me lose face in the whole village and even the whole brigade…”

Even though Yun Angge was with Qin Lingnian and lived a good life that everyone envied, she must still like Luan Yingjie in her heart, so she was always jealous of her.

Find the right opportunity to take revenge on her!

Qin Feng thought about it and gritted his teeth. All his anger and hatred surged up. “Yun Angge, just wait for me. I will make you pay me back tenfold or a hundredfold for the humiliation I suffered today.”

In fact, it’s not Qin Feng’s fault that he is so easy to fool. It can only be said that Luan Yingjie’s deception skills have reached the pinnacle. Even the old fox Qin Wanliang believed it.

After Qin Feng’s self-righteous and profound analysis, Qin Wanliang and the others believed Luan Yingjie’s words more and more, and attributed all the fault to Yun Angge.

Seeing that his self-torture trick had successfully fooled Qin Feng and her family, Luan Yingjie pulled up a barely perceptible smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

Qin Feng was stupid enough, but Yun Angge was ten times more stupid than her.

He firmly believed that as long as he used his brain a little, he could fool Yun Angge again…
