Chen Wenjuan went limp and snuggled into his arms.
However, Chen Jian Country didn’t see her expression—
Pah!
Rely on you to give a good life? What kind of good life? A life where even eating a bite of at has to be calculated and haggled over?
Wenjuan has fought so hard for so many years, how could she be content with this?
But she softly said:
"Brother Jian Country, are we going to live here? Will we be discovered?"
Chen Jian Country frowned but quickly relaxed:
"Don’t worry, Niu Hong’s family is coarse and careless; they won’t notice these details at all."
He tenderly stroked the woman’s face in his arms:
"Rest assured, you won’t have to pretend to be just my sister anymore."
The place where his fingers touched felt smooth, Chen Jian Country couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Your skin is still better, not like Niu Hong, rough every day like sothing else..."
Wenjuan glanced at his hand and imdiately saw a layer of white powder on his fingertips; she hurriedly grasped his fingertips.
She thought: This is the duck egg powder I reluctantly applied, and it cost 17 yuan a box! It’s all been wiped off!
This handful of powder is worth at least two cents!
Sigh, to think she once was used to using cushion foundation, now she has to act coy just to get a box of duck egg powder.
But her words were entangled with affection:
"Brother Jian Country, I know your heart. Rest assured, I’ll strive to get into college and beco a woman worthy of you!"
...
In reality, she rolled her eyes:
"Once I get into college, what has it got to do with you?"
After working hard for years and enduring grievances in these tough tis, she wasn’t going to settle for being a diocre cadre.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel resentful again—
If it weren’t for that ungrateful man Shi Suifeng, how would she have ended up in her current situation!
Pah!
Calling himself a protagonist, yet lacking even this bit of foresight!
As soone who ti-traveled, filled with advanced thoughts of the future and an outlook far beyond others, he failed to cherish it!
She even went through all the trouble to visit him in the hospital from afar, and yet Shi Suifeng managed to find soone to have her kicked out.
As a fired employee in tis where personal docunts and reference letters were required just for employnt, did he not know how hard life would be for a lonely young woman?
Wenjuan struggled through many hardships to secure a stable life.
The money she painstakingly acquired was nearly all spent.
...
Fortunately, that year, Chen Jian Country’s parents died, and he returned ho to pay his respects, getting a full month off.
Wenjuan happened to be renting a place at his ho, noticing how refined Chen Jian Country seed, although he was educated youth, he was quite generous with spending.
And she had to rent a place secretly, fearing her incomplete reference letters and proof would be discovered...
Bit by bit, the two of them ca together.
But who would’ve known this man had no money at all, acting generous solely through the support of another woman, utterly useless!
Here he was entangled with her, promising a lifeti together, yet turning back ho, he claid life was unbearable and married Niu Hong, a fellow female educated youth.
What he aid for, was the big packages Niu Hong received from the post office each month!
And the family behind her.
Upon inquiry, it turned out they had been seeing each other for quite so ti before getting married! Now, they even had a daughter!
This fucking—
Wenjuan, traveling all the way, was completely stunned!
Traveling back to the past, I ended up being Little Three?!
...
Fortunately, Chen Jian Country was still intrigued by her, and Wenjuan was indeed young and adept at maintaining herself, never having faced hardships.
At that ti, Chen Jian Country, leveraging the fact that he had arranged his introduction docunts to list the registered ho address as their family address, boldly introduced her to Niu Hong as his cousin from his aunt’s family.
Niu Hong found it odd—
"Why does your cousin from your aunt’s side have the sa surna as you? You never ntioned this before?"
Before they got together, they had also exchanged information about their family backgrounds.
Chen Jian Country: ...
Wasn’t it just a rushed excuse?
But, given the limited communication at the ti, Chen Jian Country casually made an excuse, and with the registered address, saying she had been living with his family all along, Niu Hong simply accepted it.
Privately, he found Wenjuan to pour his heart out—
Don’t underestimate a man’s cunning, Chen Jian Country played it precisely because he knew Wenjuan couldn’t even secure her registration without him, which is why he dared to bring her ho so boldly and dared to flirt with one while engaging with the other.
And Wenjuan hadn’t considered any of this.
Spending years without making any progress, she believed it was her own charm, and while being Little Three brought a faint sense of guilt, Chen Jian Country also said his marriage with Niu Hong was purely a stopgap due to the hardships of rural work.
