Chapter 157: Chapter 158 Mutual Disgust
Xu Xiangdong stord out with great pride, running straight towards the Youth Corps.
Zhang Dacao’s heart shattered at this sight; her beloved son, whom she cherished above all else, was thus bewitched by a woman.
Xu Xiangdong ran to the Youth Corps, standing at the entrance and calling out Chen Yanran’s na.
At that mont, Chen Yanran was being threatened by Dong Wenzhong inside a house.
“Chen Yanran, if you dare to shout, I’ll reveal that you’re carrying my cousin’s child,” Dong Wenzhong threatened with a gloomy pair of eyes.
Ever since he ca to the countryside, with Xu Ying’s help, his life had been very comfortable.
Chen Yanran was the apple of his eye, and he had never been willing to lay a hand on her; he was waiting for the right opportunity for them to marry.
But he hadn’t expected this wench to be so shaless, sleeping with both his cousin and his younger cousin and now turning around to marry Xu Xiangdong.
This woman was indeed formidable, securing her safety net in just a few short days.
After all, she wasn’t clean anymore, what harm was there in him having his way.
Dong Wenzhong slowly closed in on Chen Yanran.
Chen Yanran wanted to scream but dared not; since the two had fallen out, their affection for one another had all but vanished.
They both looked upon each other with extre disgust and resentnt.
“Dong Wenzhong, no wonder Xu Ying doesn’t like you; you’re nothing but a hypocrite.
Without Xu Ying, you could never return to town, and there will be plenty of hard days ahead for you!” Chen Yanran said these vicious words, but her lip-biting, pitiful appearance only incited more lust.
Dong Wenzhong liked her eternal damsel-in-distress deanor that always aroused a desire to protect.
“Oh, what would you like?” Dong Wenzhong said, eyeing her playfully.
Chen Yanran, seeing the man closing in step by step, backed up to a corner wall, with nowhere to go, she suddenly raised her voice, “If you let go, I’ll help you out in the future.”
“Chen Yanran, I turned out this way all because of you. Don’t think just finding a man to marry is enough. You’d better listen to , or else I’ll ruin your reputation,” Dong Wenzhong glared at her malignantly, his hand pinching her chin.
Outside the Youth Corps, Xu Xiangdong was still calling for Chen Yanran.
Soone annoyed by the noise called for Sun Yunjuan, “Sun Yunjuan, you and Chen Yanran have always been close; where has she gone? Hurry and tell Xu Xiangdong, so he doesn’t keep making a racket at the door.”
It was the dead of winter, and bitterly cold; Sun Yunjuan had already burrowed into her covers and refused to go out!
Pretending to be asleep, she snored loudly.
Xu Xiangdong continued to call out for Chen Yanran outside the door.
In the firewood shed, Dong Wenzhong, both excited and disgusted, pounced on Chen Yanran.
The seven-day rest period quickly elapsed, and Xu Ying woke up early in the morning, miserably dressing for the cold winter day, and started a new day of work.
“Mom, I’m off now,” Xu Ying called out, then wrapped up tightly and rushed out.
As she pushed her bicycle out, a sowhat familiar voice reached her, low and robust, filled with masculine, magnetic resonance, “Xu Ying.”
Hearing this voice, Xu Ying felt inexplicably anxious; she unnaturally lifted her head, “You, do you need sothing?”
“I’ll take you to work; the road is covered in snow, it’s not easy to ride your bike,” Huo Chen said, pushing a n’s bicycle, “I’ll take care of sending your bike to the county.”
He preemptively blocked all the words Xu Ying had wanted to say.
“It’s okay, thank you,” Xu Ying stubbornly turned her head away, regretting her words as soon as she spoke them, worrying about hurting Huo Chen.
She stole a glance at Huo Chen, thinking maybe he was different from other n.
Her eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and her father were all good n and kind to their wives.
Perhaps Huo Chen was one of those ten good n, she couldn’t just question all the n in the world because of scumbags like Dong Wenzhong.
Xu Ying said sowhat coyly, “Forget it, you take .”
The man, who had been feeling a bit down, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his lips when he heard her words.
“Get on.”
Xu Ying looked up and was dazzled by his starry eyes, almost having her heart stolen. She walked over, trying to maintain her composure. Indeed, she had no resistance to handso n.
Xu Ying got on the bicycle, her hands resting honestly on the seat, no longer as bold as before.
Huo Chen felt the hands on his back were not pulling at his clothes as before and felt a twinge of disappointnt, but that was quickly replaced by eyes filled with radiant admiration.
The heavy snow continued to fall, and Huo Chen managed to get Xu Ying to the restaurant before the streets were sealed by snow.
He turned his head, intending to go back and bring Xu Ying’s bicycle over as well.
Xu Ying stopped him, “With the heavy snow, I can’t ride the bike anyway, don’t bother bringing it.”
Huo Chen nodded and watched Xu Ying enter the restaurant before turning to leave.
As soon as Xu Ying entered the restaurant, Sun Lifang couldn’t help herself and rushed over for a big hug, “Yingying, I’ve missed you so much.
You’ve really made sothing of yourself, stirring up such a fuss in another county.”
The two county towns were next to each other, and the incident had caused quite a stir; Xu Ying had instantly beco famous in her own county.
Gao Guihua, seeing that Xu Ying had lost her previous arrogance and had a hint of timidity in her eyes, didn’t dare to make faces behind Xu Ying’s back as she had before.
Liu Guohua, with eyes shining with admiration, said, “Master Xiao Xu, you’ve beco quite famous after this one trip.”
Xu Ying chuckled wryly, “Famous for what? Those people got what they deserved; even if it hadn’t been , their family would have been punished.
Justice may be late, but it never fails to arrive. Those who do evil will surely et their retribution.”
Hearing this, Gao Guihua shivered involuntarily, worried that Xu Ying was talking about her.
Thinking of what the matchmaker had said, Gao Guihua straightened her back, believing she had Xu Ying’s best interests at heart.
For a young woman, no matter how excellent she might be, she still has to marry.
After marriage cos having children, then taking care of them; there’s no ti to work, so finding a good husband is essential for a woman.
Thinking of the other family’s conditions, Gao Guihua felt she was helping Xu Ying and suddenly beca full of pride.
She was about to talk to Xu Ying when Xu Ying entered the kitchen, donned her work clothes, and started getting busy.
The goodwill value had remained unchanged during the ti she had not been cooking.
Upon entering the kitchen, she found Liu Guohua already busy at the stove.
Seeing Xu Ying drawn to the stove with shining eyes, Master Ge instictively felt his days of retirent approaching, “Why don’t you co over here?”
“Sure,” Xu Ying happily walked over.
Outside the kitchen, Gao Guihua looked at Xu Ying as if she were looking at a fool; while they all snuck monts of relaxation during work, Xu Ying genuinely never wanted a mont of idleness.
She had never encountered soone who loved cooking so much, unfazed by dealing with the stove and preparing the sa dishes every day.
And to see Xu Ying enjoying herself—it was truly baffling.
Master Ge looked at Xu Ying with regret, such a good apprentice, but unfortunately, she was not destined to be his.
Ah, if only he had t this girl earlier and accepted her as his disciple.
