Chapter 222 The scumbag finally completed his ultimate evolution
Lin Zhiwan sat on the edge of the bed and picked up the last corn in the dustpan.
The corn kernels were piled as high as a hill in the pot next to her, and the bare cores were neatly stacked on one side.
In rural areas, the remaining corn cobs should be well preserved and used as fire-making materials.
It had been a while since she had done this kind of work. Her fingers were rubbed red, but she seemed unaware, lowering her head and feeling a little distracted.
This time I came back to my hometown because I wanted to buy back my old house.
When I came back from the land, I passed by it and took a look. It was already planted with other people’s crops and it was difficult to buy it again.
But the house looks like it has been idle and no one is using it.
Rural people are superstitious and stubborn and pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots.
No matter how hard my mother lived, she never sold these things that have been passed down from generation to generation.
It was her fault and inability, but Lin Tong's schooling was far more important than that.
Now that life has become better, Lin Zhiwan has been thinking about this matter in her heart.
So after Lin Tong finished the exam, she took him back to her hometown, hoping to discuss things with the original buyer.
The buyer is a former neighbor, Sister Li, who is a nice person and would often help the two little bitter gourd siblings.
When I later heard that she was selling her house and land to raise tuition fees, I immediately offered her a helping hand.
Lin Zhiwan, who had always been grateful, originally thought that everything would go smoothly, and she even prepared gifts.
The result was...
After the last corn was peeled off, Lin Zhiwan sighed softly and stood up with the basin in hand.
A circle of people were sitting in the yard, eating melon seeds and chatting about her.
As soon as Lin Zhiwan opened the door, she was so frightened by the sudden scrutiny that she almost closed the door.
She didn't understand why when she came back to the village this time, these people looked at her like a vicious dog seeing meat, glowing green.
If we want to compare, in the past, it was like seeing the god of plague and avoiding it.
"Wanwan, come, come here. Let Aunt take a good look at you."
The person who said this was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman, but Lin Zhiwan knew who she was.
The most famous matchmaker in Shicunbadian.
Lin Zhiwan resisted subconsciously, shook her head, and handed the basin in her hand to Sister Li, who was watching the show with a smile.
“Look, this is a good job.”
Sister Li showed the pot in a circle, causing people around her to sigh.
Being able to shuck corn is nothing to praise. Of course Lin Zhiwan knew that this was all a show in front of the matchmaker.
As she turned around to go back to the house, Sister Li grabbed her hand and forced her to stay in the social circle.
"We Wanwan have been in the city for a long time, and our hands have developed fine skin and tender flesh. This face is even more like a flower."
Lin Zhiwan got goosebumps all over her body and exerted some strength. I want to withdraw my hand.
But the strength of a middle-aged woman who has been doing farm work for a long time is very scary. Sister Li’s hand clutched her wrist tightly like an old tree root, and she could not break free.
"Let me tell you, no matter how nice the city is, it is not the place we should stay. Now that Tongtong has finished the exam, what are you doing alone in the city?
As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her immediately responded, as if they had heard some wise words.
Lin Zhiwan lowered her head, not knowing how to react.
She has a soft temper and has always been afraid of offending others. Even if she is bullied, she rarely holds grudges.
When Sister Li, who had always been very grateful in the past, said this, she felt some inexplicable rebellion in her heart.
But she was indeed a little confused.
In the past, I went to work in the city to take care of Lin Tong. Now that Lin Tong is about to go to college, what is the meaning of staying in the city?
But seeing the deep gentleness in her lowered eyebrows, Sister Li was a little surprised as a woman. She immediately spat in her heart and said with a smile:
"Wanwan , There are no elders in your family who make the decision. Sister Li has watched the two siblings grow up, so I will tell you about your marriage today."
Lin Zhiwan was shocked and shook her head.
"Don't be shy! We women have all had this day. Marrying a good man and living a down-to-earth life, what's better than that?"
The matchmaker on the side smiled and came forward.
"Sister Li will not harm you. The family I told you about is from a very good family. She is also honest and can endure hardships."
Sister Li looked into the room After waving, a man with black hair, black face, and a short build walked out.
There is a big tumor on the face, which makes people feel disgusted when looking at it.
He scratched his head, his dark face flushed with red, and his three-white eyes stared straight at Lin Zhiwan.
Lin Zhiwan naturally didn't want to look at him at all, so she turned away and left.
The crowd watching the show naturally began to cheer, interpreting all disgust and resistance as shyness.
Just when the chickens and dogs were jumping up and down, a contemptuous sneer suddenly came from above everyone's heads.
“Huh.”
Everyone turned their heads and found the source of the sound without much effort.
Two teenagers with unfamiliar faces were lying on the wall looking into the courtyard, with only their upper bodies exposed.
Like two radishes that just came out of the ground.
Amidst everyone's doubts, Lin Zhiwan felt her heart beating faster and the voice in her ears had never been so clear.
Sister Li checked everyone's faces in her mind, but she couldn't remember who these two white-faced boys were.
“Sister Lin!”
One of them smiled widely, raised his hand to say hello, and almost slipped off the wall.
The other one looked a little more steady, but his eyes were cold and scary.
Seeing that Xu Yang almost fell, Lin Zhiwan was naturally worried and broke free from the restraints to go out.
Unexpectedly, someone grabbed her again and refused to let her go.
“Hey! What are you doing?”
When Xu Yang saw this scene, he frowned, turned over and entered the yard, and rushed forward menacingly.
He is a tall and powerful person, which may seem a bit bluffing at first glance.
But the people in the village have always worked together to protect each other, and after realizing it, they were naturally not afraid of him.
The black-faced man bore the brunt of the attack. Although he was short in stature, he still stood in front of him.
When the argument was about to start, Su Chengyi also turned over and walked in, but he just sat calmly on the wall.
Then he took out his cell phone, turned on the ringtone, turned on the flash, and pressed the shooting button very deliberately.
"Click."
The effect was remarkable, and everyone was stunned.
"Ah, don't pay attention to me, you continue."
Su Chengyi waved his hand, lowered his head and muttered while recording on his mobile phone.
"In Zhuanqiao Village, Bihai County, Tang'an City, the author witnessed a shocking and extremely anti-intellectual act of forced marriage.
The villagers actually ignored the woman's personal will and used the excuse of introducing the marriage. The reality of buying and selling is really shameful!”< br>
At this time, someone became anxious. "Duangduang" knocked on the courtyard door and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Wang Xiaoli! Open the door!"
Sister Li heard the voice sounded familiar, so she had to Step forward and take off the door bolt.
The man was very anxious and quickly opened the door and rushed in.
"Village Chief?"
Now the people watching were a little stunned.
The village chief, who was never seen when there was business, why did he take the initiative to come to his door today?
The village chief coughed and was about to speak when the boy on the wall continued to read:
"The author's assistant, based on humanitarian concepts, patiently stepped forward to dissuade him, but he was brutally insulted and beaten.
Every time he dreamed about it at midnight, he would cry to me in tears about the injustice he suffered that day. Fair treatment"
Now Sister Li understood and immediately argued:
"Who hit him?"
When the black-faced man heard this, he quickly let go. He grabbed Xu Yang's collar.
"This punch and kick, on the surface, only hit the assistant's weak body, but in fact, it severely hit the process of human civilization and society, affecting the beautiful vision of building a new rural area, emphasizing civilization and establishing new practices." Zhuanqiao Village All of this is worth pondering.”
“I’m asking you! Did everyone see it?”
Listen, Sister Li! He seemed to understand, but slapped his thigh and retorted sharply.
The village chief's face darkened and he shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
Su Chengyi sat on the wall, swinging his legs leisurely, and threw a smile at Lin Zhiwan leisurely. eyes.
Lin Zhiwan received this signal and knew that he did it on purpose. She immediately wanted to laugh and lowered her head to suppress it.
"Um, classmate Su, you come down first and let's discuss it carefully. As a reporter, you have to write articles based on facts, right?"
The village chief rubbed his hands with flies. asked cautiously.
Su Chengyi shook his head pretending to be serious, indicating that he was about to finish writing.
“In today’s era of rapid economic development, how many Zhuanqiao villages still exist that are divorced from civilized society? It is not advisable to focus on one and lose the other. In response to this problem, the first thing we need to discuss is the dereliction of duty of the management class. ”
When the village chief heard this, he thought, "Is this okay?" Failure of management?
It’s over, you’re coming for me.
Gotta think of a way.
"Wang Xiaoli! Come here!"
The village chief roared angrily, pointed at the young man on the wall and said:
"Immediately apologize to Reporter Su from the city! The whole village has been disgraced by you!"
Sister Li was stunned for a moment after being yelled at, and walked over to her. Just as she was about to speak, Su Chengyi He smiled and raised his hand to stop.
"No need to apologize to me, I am a reporter, not a bully."
Xu Yang was watching the show with great interest. At this time, he couldn't help but complain: He is indeed not a bully, but a charlatan. fraud.
Sister Lin seemed to want to step forward to smooth things over, but Xu Yang blocked her and told her to just watch.
The people in this village combined are not as smart as the guy on the wall.
"Reporter Su, you said she is a rural woman who can't read a few Chinese characters. Why are you arguing with her, right?" The village chief smiled apologetically and took the time to glare at Sister Li. She He immediately understood and continued:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm uneducated and don't understand anything."
Su Cheng's opinion was almost deceived, so he put it away He smiled just now and got to the point.
"I just heard the whole thing outside. It's really hard to understand. Can you please explain why you have to introduce someone to her?"
Sister Li's eyes dodge and hesitantly said:
"Because, reporter, you are from the city, so you don't know. People here have to get married and have children when they are old, and I also want her to be talented."
Su Chengyi nodded thoughtfully, and then He looked at Lin Zhiwan again.
She was looking up at him with bright eyes.
Su Chengyi cleared her throat, almost unable to continue acting, and said seriously:
"You came back here for a blind date?"
Lin Zhiwan was panicked, not understanding the twists and turns inside. , I just thought his tone was serious, yes He asked seriously, and quickly explained with gestures:
"No, I came back to buy my old house."
"To buy a house? Then why did we start dating again? What?”
Su Chengyi was afraid that others present could not understand the sign language, so she deliberately repeated her words in a higher tone.
"Sister Li said that only in this way would she be willing to sell the house back to me. I thought there was no other way but to give up the house, but she kept me and wouldn't let me leave."
Lin Zhiwan He sighed and told the truth.
Su Chengyi laughed again and said slowly:
“So it’s not just forced blind dates, but also restrictions on personal freedom and illegal detention?”
The village chief was so heartbroken now that he glared viciously at Sister Li, who was also panicking next to him.
The other people eating melons in the yard were also confused. They wanted to run but didn't dare, for fear that they would be dealt with too.
“Whoever illegally detains others or illegally deprives others of their personal freedom by other methods shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights.
Those who are beaten or insulted shall be severely punished. Punishment."
After Su Chengyi recited this law, he looked at Sister Li's horrified expression with interest.
"Wanwan, please tell him quickly. There is no beating or insult."
She explained hurriedly.
Xu Yang didn't mind watching the excitement and started making noises on the side.
"How come it's not an insult? Isn't it an insult to go on a blind date with this guy? Why don't you act "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" here?"
Su Chengyi couldn't help but smile after hearing this, He cleared his throat again and continued:
"The prerequisite for not pursuing legal responsibility is that the parties concerned are willing to reach a settlement with you. That's all I'm saying. You have to discuss it yourself on how to settle."
As Su Chengyi walked out, he kept thinking. , as long as there is someone who understands the law present, he will not be able to finish his play.
But fortunately not.
The frightened Sister Li quickly agreed to Lin Zhiwan's request and resold the house to her at the price back then. She didn't even dare to ask for the gift money prepared by Lin Zhiwan.
With the "enthusiastic help" of the village chief, Reporter Su and his assistant also found Lin Tong, who had been sent to live temporarily with a distant relative.
The surprise of seeing them soon turned into shock due to Xu Yang's vivid description of the facts.
Lin Tong has always had a good impression of his hometown. He feels that everyone is simple and kind, and the neighbors are also very friendly.
I never expected that it would turn out like this.
Lin Zhiwan also doesn’t understand why people’s views on her have changed.
But from a third-party perspective, it is quite clear.
In the past, everyone knew that Lin Zhiwan was beautiful, but she had physical defects, a poor family, and a troubled younger brother.
This looks like a bottomless pit. No one wants to get involved, so they avoid it.
But now, Lin Tong's college entrance examination is over, and it is not long before he gives feedback to his sister.
Lin Zhiwan also seemed to have changed. She no longer had any aura of suffering in her body. She was as beautiful as the heroine of a TV series.
Those who were intimidated in the past naturally started to have dirty thoughts again.
It’s just human nature.
Su Chengyi didn't expect so much at first, but she just intuitively felt that they were going to do something serious when they returned to their hometown.
In addition, I really want to go out and relax for a while.
The real thing is the old house bought with so much hard work.
Su Chengyi originally thought that the outside was very dilapidated, but she didn't expect that the inside was the most terrifying.
There were so many cobwebs that they looked like coiled holes. As soon as Xu Yang entered, he was choked by dust and escaped. It was not a place for people to live at all.
Lin Zhiwan apologized profusely all the way.
But aside from other things, the scenery in Zhuanqiao Village is really beautiful and has a quaint atmosphere.
We have already checked in at the ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village, and now we have arrived at the brick bridge together.
Su Chengyi sat on the stone bricks at the head of the bridge, looking at the gurgling river flowing by under his feet.
The river is clear and shallow, how far will it go again?
The water is full of water, and the pulse is speechless.
A bit like Lin Zhiwan’s eyes.
After coming to such a clueless conclusion, Su Chengyi turned sideways and lay down on the stone bricks.
The wind by the river blew past my face and was very cool.
For a while, the only sounds were the rustling of leaves in the wind and the sound of the river flowing by below.
After a long time, someone slowly walked over.
Su Chengyi opened his eyes and saw Lin Zhiwan sitting down carefully next to him.
She pursed her lips and gestured to explain:
"I'm afraid that if you fall asleep, you will roll into the river."
"."
Su Chengyi wanted to laugh, but did not get up.
Lin Tong and Xu Yang were treading water on the opposite side of the river bank, making a lot of noise.
Xu Yang was reluctant before he came, but after he came, it was as if the wild nature in his body had been aroused, and his ape-like appearance was revealed.
The apes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait can’t stop crying.
Su Chengyi raised his head and asked:
"Have you had any problems with the hearing aids recently?"
"They are all good."
Lin Zhiwan shook her head with a smile.
After another moment of silence, when Su Chengyi felt that she was gradually getting sleepy, Lin Zhiwan mustered up the courage to gesture and said:
"Thank you, I am today."
Su Chengyi waved her hand directly to stop her from continuing.
"No need. Just think about it and you will know that you are not here for a blind date."
Lin Zhiwan was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Su Chengyi did not notice her daze at this moment, and continued:
"But has Sister Lin ever liked anyone?"
For a while, the sound of wind, water, and the sound of two people laughing and playing across from each other, all the noise in my ears seemed to quiet down again, and he could only be heard After asking this question, the voice echoed in my heart over and over again.
Lin Zhiwan has a very slow temper and always does things quietly and calmly. For the first time in her life, she feels like her heart is in her throat.
Su Chengyi narrowed his eyes slightly, the clouds floating in the clear sky were slowly changing shapes.
Lin Zhiwan followed his eyes and felt her heart rising and falling along with it.
But his next words made his heart completely sink to the bottom.
——"I seem to have someone I like recently."
So all the delusions came to an end at this time.
Lin Zhiwan lowered her head and stopped looking at the clouds. Her drooping eyelashes trembled slightly with the flow of the river.
Su Chengyi suddenly didn’t know what the people next to him were thinking, and just continued to talk while thinking:
"Sister Lin, do you think it is possible for people to like two people at the same time? If it is possible, how should we deal with it?"
"No matter which side you choose, you will always have regrets. Only Only when you have them at the same time can you feel complete."
"This is against ethics, I know. But feelings are difficult to control, right? If you can take them back, what will happen in the world? How much less trouble there is."
"."
Lin Zhiwan coughed twice as if he was choking.
When Su Chengyi heard the sound, he turned over and sat up, running straight into her red eyes.
Subconsciously, she felt that she was shocked by her shocking theory. Su Chengyi sighed and explained:
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I suddenly said this. Isn't it a bit hard to accept? ”
Su Chengyi really didn’t know why he suddenly revealed everything that had been on his mind these past few days.
Perhaps it was not just the past few days. He had been troubled by this problem from the moment he realized it.
To this day, he has not mentioned it to anyone.
Just in this situation, Lin Zhiwan is probably the best listener in the world.
No matter what is said to her, she will listen silently. This is enough, and she does not even need to give any response.
Lin Zhiwan had tears in her eyes and slowly shook her head.
She lowered her head, her eyes reflecting the sparkling water of the river.
Su Chengyi was deeply reflecting on whether her words would be too forward for Sister Lin, who was very conservative at first sight.
Lin Zhiwan suddenly raised her eyes again and looked at him steadily.
So, her teary eyes just now seemed to be just a momentary illusion?
After a long silence, she gestured slowly:
“You want to be Consummated.”
The breeze by the river was as gentle as before, blowing her hair against Su Chengyi's fingers.
I don’t know if it was because of itchiness or something else, but he lowered his head and smiled.
"Okay."
It would be nice if I didn't wear a hearing aid at this time, Lin Zhiwan couldn't help but think.
That way, you won’t be able to hear the sound of your own heart breaking.
Thank you Mr. Power for the reward, and thank you all for your subscription and voting support.
