Chapter 2

A pair of dry and slippery hands reached over and tightly grasped Zhao Nianhui’s hand.

“Xiao Hui, don’t say anything stupid. Brother Zheng is just too concerned.”

“As for me, Brother Zheng only took care of me because of you.”

Shen Meizhu tried to persuade him earnestly.

She really looks like a good friend who always cares about her.

But who knew that all this was designed by this good friend in front of me?

Her brothers took over her job in the county, making her one of the educated youth who went to the countryside.

Fortunately, her fiancé Zheng Zhen was with her on the way, until she met Shen Meizhu.

Shen Meizhu and the original owner met on the way to the countryside.

At the beginning, the original owner was not very enthusiastic, as she was a shy girl by nature.

But he couldn’t resist her enthusiasm, and the original owner opened his heart to her.

Shen Meizhu is warm and generous, while Zhao Nianhui is timid.

Zheng Zhen gets along better with Shen Meizhu in many things.

Gradually, the fiancé spent more time with Shen Meizhu.

The two of them were quarreling so much that they looked more like a young couple.

Everyone at the educated youth site knew that an unmarried couple would be coming this time.

Naturally, I thought of Shen Meizhu and Zheng Zhen as a couple.

After all, Zheng Zhen always likes to make fun of Shen Meizhu.

Pull her braids and pretend to be a ghost to scare her.

Even when the three of them entered the educated youth site, they helped Shen Meizhu carry her suitcase.

The two never explained their relationship.

In this way, misunderstanding is inevitable.

The original owner was misunderstood as a follower chasing after someone else’s boyfriend.

In this day and age, if a woman chases after a man everywhere, it will naturally give the original owner a bad reputation.

Being timid by nature, she didn’t dare to explain and could only endure the strange looks from others.

The person she cared about the most, under the pretext of protecting the original owner.

But they always get together to do things that cause misunderstandings.

In the ambiguity between Zheng Zhen and Shen Meizhu, the original owner felt endless pain and torture.

Until he was killed by Zhang Mazi in that dilapidated house, his death was a miserable one.

From the beginning to the end, no one cared about this poor girl or whether she was willing to be protected by them in this way.

“Really? Because of me, he has to carry your suitcase for you. Because of me, he helps you get food and water. Because of me, he brings you a floral dress from town?”

“In that case, I have to thank Zheng Zhen very much. He is so kind to my friend.”

Zhao Nianhui’s words made Shen Meizhu’s face change.

The villagers behind him were also shocked by this sudden change.

I thought Shen Zhiqing and Zheng Zhen were an engaged couple.

Little did he know that his fiancée was actually the quiet Zhao Nianhui.

At this moment, some people in the village looked at each other strangely.

I really didn’t expect Zheng Zhen to be so passionate.

He seems to be a decent guy, but what he did is despicable.

The strange looks from people in the crowd made Zheng Zhen collapse.

He walked to Zhao Nianhui with difficulty, lowered his head and said, “Nianhui, I was wrong, but I just couldn’t bear to see Meizhu, a little girl, helpless, so I reached out to help her. Please don’t be unreasonable, okay?”

As he spoke, his tone became helpless.

He reached out and touched Zhao Nianhui’s head with a doting look in his eyes.

It was as if he was really coaxing his girlfriend who was quarreling with him and throwing a tantrum.

Shen Meizhu on the side also chimed in, “Yes, Xiaohui, if you really don’t want to, I will never see Zheng Zhen again.”

Zheng Zhen immediately took over the conversation and said in a serious tone: “Meizhu, don’t talk nonsense. You are a little girl and you are friends with Nianhui. It’s not wrong for me to help you. She won’t care.”

Shen Meizhu looked at Zheng Zhen with tears in her eyes.

This weak look made Zheng Zhen’s machismo burst forth.

He deeply felt that at this moment he was a hero who saved two women.

Until a sneer was heard.

It turned out that it was Zhao Nianhui who was smiling with her head down.

Although she was smiling, the anger in her eyes did not seem fake.

Zheng Zhen was panicked for a moment.

“Zheng Zhen, I can understand that you took care of her, but you had to abandon your sick girlfriend and send her to the hospital. Not only that, you stayed with her in the hospital all night, but you didn’t care about your girlfriend who had a fever and was in a coma.”

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

People of this era did not know the term central air conditioning.

But this did not prevent them from despising Zheng Zhen’s actions.

He ignores his girlfriend and takes care of her friends instead.

No matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

Zheng Zhen’s face turned red. He felt really wronged about this matter.

When he sent Shen Meizhu to the hospital, he didn’t know that something had happened to Zhao Nianhui.

She wanted to drop the person off and then come back to pick him up, but Shen Meiju had a nightmare all night.

She, who had always been strong, even shed tears, which made Zheng Zhen really unable to extricate himself.

“I, I have my reasons, Nianhui, you have encountered such a thing, who else can you marry if not me?”

Zheng Zhen originally just wanted to explain.

As I was talking, I got angry.

He didn’t care that Zhao Nianhui didn’t care about herself.

In order to get revenge on him, he actually got involved with Wang Mazi.

“Don’t worry, I don’t care about that. Even if you… I will still marry you!”

His eyes became firm.

This approach also made everyone admire it.

No matter what, he was considered a hero for being willing to marry Zhao Nianhui, who had suffered such a disaster.

In a place where no one was paying attention, Shen Meizhu pulled the corner of her clothes tightly.

Seeing Zhao Nianhui remaining silent, another plan came to his mind.

“Xiaohui, look, Brother Zheng doesn’t care anymore, so stop making a fuss. If you hadn’t made such a fuss this time, Zhang Mazi wouldn’t have…”

Zhao Nianhui was so angry that she almost laughed.

These two people are really scary. Every word they say hits the nail on the head.

It was as if he was afraid that others didn’t know that the original owner had been ruined.

She calmly took out the book and put it on the table. “Oh, you misunderstood. I broke Zhang Mazi’s leg. I was afraid of being punished, so I came to read the medical book. I don’t know if he can be saved.”

Shen Meizhu looked like a duck with its throat tied.

For a moment I was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

Not finding Zhao Nianhui in the shabby house, she led everyone to run so far just to witness the scene of Zhao Nianhui being insulted.

But now she said that she was fine and that she had injured Zhang Mazi.

“Yes, Zhang Mazi did break a leg.”

Someone in the crowd stood up to testify.

When everyone looked again, they saw that Zhao Nianhui’s clothes were clean and there were no traces on her body.

I believed her words a little more.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like he was kidnapped or done anything bad.

The girl was even kind enough to offer to treat Zhang Mazi’s leg.

Suddenly, many women felt sympathy for Zhao Nianhui.

They don’t care about Zhang Mazi’s scabby legs.

It’s better to be lame, so that he won’t cause trouble everywhere.

In the end, it was the village chief who spoke.

“This matter ends here. Zhao Zhiqing, don’t feel guilty. Just think of that leg as a lesson for Wang Mazi.”

“Let’s all go.”

As soon as the village chief spoke, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Before leaving, Zheng Zhen looked at me with a complicated look.

Zhao Nianhui was the only one left in the room. She glanced at the cabinet which was motionless.

I walked forward and opened the door, but there was no one inside.
