Chapter 27

Lu Dongsheng grabbed her hand and saw a thorn stuck in her palm. He said, “Bear with it for a moment. I’ll help you pull it out.”

As soon as he stretched out his hand, Su Ying took her hand back on her own initiative.

“I can just pull it out myself.”

She pulled out the thorn from the palm of her hand quickly and neatly without groaning at all.

Lu Dongsheng was stunned at first, then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This girl is really good, not pretentious at all. If it were another girl, she would definitely moan, but she pulled it out cleanly and neatly.

This kind of personality is good, but it also shows that she suffers a lot in her daily life.

The more she acted like this, the more distressed Lu Dongsheng felt.

A girl like this deserves to be loved.

After pulling out the thorn from the palm of her hand, Su Ying stood up and brushed the dirt off her butt. Lu Dongsheng also stood up, but his lips were still burning with pain.

He reached out and touched it gently. When Su Ying saw this, a trace of apology flashed across her face.

“I’m sorry, it was an accident. I didn’t stand firmly.”

Lu Dongsheng took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his mouth and licked it twice.

“It’s okay. Let’s go. Let’s get out of the woods first.”

Su Ying was a little dazed, and the plot in her mind was a mess. Logically speaking, Lu Dongsheng should not be here at this time. She had seen him too frequently in the past few days.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m coming to see you.”

Looking for her?

Su Ying became more and more confused, and her mind was filled with the stories written by readers in the comment section.

Su Ying asked tentatively: “Comrade, may I ask what you want to talk to me about?”

“Comrade Su Ying, I came to you because I want to marry you. I know this is a bit sudden and presumptuous, but I think we are a good match.

A few days ago, I asked a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage, and your stepmother has already agreed.

I came here today to explain this to you face to face. If you are willing to marry me, I will take you home tomorrow.”

Su Ying stood there in a daze, feeling as if she was dreaming.

Did she hear it right?

Wasn’t her original wife Song Min? Now it has really become her.

Also, who would say they want to marry someone as soon as they meet?

Could it be that she, the supporting actress, is going to make a comeback?

If that were true, it would be exciting to think about it.

They are definitely willing to get married. After marriage, he will live his life and she will live hers. At least it is better than staying here and being schemed over the bride price every day.

It’s not that she has no future, it’s just that she can’t go anywhere without a letter of introduction these days.

Perhaps this is her only chance to leave here.

But at this juncture, she couldn’t give him an accurate answer.

Su Ying said: “Let’s talk about this later. I have something important to do now. I’m leaving first.”

Su Ying was about to leave, but Lu Dongsheng grabbed her and pulled her back by the collar.

She obviously likes me, otherwise he would have taken advantage of her just now. Why isn’t she angry? She must like me very much in her heart.

He is a man, so he must be responsible for this kind of thing, and he must take the initiative.

She was shy just now and must have been embarrassed to talk to me about these topics directly.

“Why are you running? I just discussed this with you.”

Su Ying saw that he was holding her tightly and said anxiously, “Oh, I really have something to do.”

She looked up at the sky and saw that it had become completely dark in just a short while.

A few burly men came from the neighboring village. It was time for lunch, and after they entered the village, they didn’t see anyone.

As it was getting dark, Tian Cuifen suddenly panicked.

“Oh, I don’t know where this damn girl ran off to. We have to go out and look for her.”

Su Fugui squatted under a pillar, smoking a pipe with an impatient look on his face.

“Where can she die? Just wait. She must be wearing new clothes to show off to others.”

Su Dabao, who was chewing a steamed bun nearby, muttered, “I saw her at the entrance of the village heading towards the Youth Office.”

Tian Cuifen thought of the few words Su Ying had said to Wang Liang this afternoon. Her face darkened and she slapped her thigh and said, “Oh no, could she be seducing Wang Liang?”

Su Fugui also widened his eyes: “How is this possible? Don’t scare me. That damn girl is as timid as a mouse. Let’s get some food first. Those people will be here soon.”

As he was speaking, several people came to the door. They were all relatives of the lame man.

Although they are relatives, they all have children and privately disapprove of this marriage, but who can blame the girl’s parents for agreeing to it?

These people were still discussing on the way here.

“Tell me, which parent in this world would be willing to marry their daughter to a man like this? He’s ugly, lame, has a bad temper, and likes to hit people.”

“Some people are parents, and some people are just beasts.”

“Okay, we can be angry, but since we’ve been promised this, we’ll just help. After all, we’re relatives.

We have already persuaded them before we came here, and the rest depends on whether they can accumulate virtue on their own.”

As soon as these people came in, Tian Cuifen hurried to greet them and after a few greetings, she welcomed them into the house.

“Where’s the bride? We’ll take her away now.”

Tian Cuifen smiled awkwardly and said, “Wait a minute, brothers. The child is still playing and hasn’t come back yet. You guys should drink some water first.”

They don’t want to do anything immoral at all, and they can’t wait to take the person away.

Before they came, the other party also told them that the girl was stubborn and they might have to use force to tie her up and take her back. Now that they have all arrived, they didn’t expect that they still haven’t dealt with this family yet.

At this time, Su Xiuxiu sat in Wang Liang’s room for a while.

Wang Liang’s eyes were fixed on her, and Su Xiuxiu was delighted.

That damn girl Su Ying was right. Once she put on this dress, Wang Liang couldn’t take his eyes off her.

There were several male comrades in the Youth League Office. They usually took turns cooking with the female comrades. At this moment, Su Xiuxiu came to the dormitory. Everyone knew what the two were going to do, so they all went to the kitchen to help awkwardly.

Su Xiuxiu was wearing a red dress, with her head lowered and eyes downcast, looking like a newlywed bride. She looked really beautiful.

Wang Liang was really afraid that she was pregnant, but he didn’t want to ask directly.

He said, “Xiu Xiu, let’s go out for a walk.”

Su Xiuxiu nodded shyly and followed Wang Liang. As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, several heads popped up next to the shabby kitchen door frame of the Youth League Office.

“You know what, these two are quite a good match. One is lazy and full of lies, while the other is sarcastic and self-righteous.”

“Stop saying that. We are not as good as them. We all came here together. Look at them. They have people to wash their clothes and sleep with them. We are just doing hard labor every day.”

“Tsk, what are you envious of? With Tian Cuifen being such a shrew, if Wang Liang gets her daughter pregnant and he can get away from this godforsaken place by himself, I’ll be the first one to kneel down and kowtow to him.”

Under the dim light, Song Min blushed when she heard this. Were they also saying the same thing about her behind her back?

But there was no other way. The number of places recommended for university admission in the village this year would be announced soon, and she had to find a way to get Jiang Xiaofei to help her get it.

She paid such a huge price, good things must not fall into the hands of these people around her.

There were less than seven people in the small kitchen, all planning for their future.
