Hua Cui followed his words: "Fortunately, we haven't encountered any problems for the time being."
The two of them walked along the path beside the pond. The villagers in the countryside all rested early. After dinner and chatting, they packed up and went to bed early. No one would come to the fish pond at this time, so the two of them walked together without fear of being discovered.
Zhou Haiwen said: "I went to the county seat in the morning and heard that Comrade Zhao Qiming was with Sun Mingjing during my absence."
"Yeah, the beating made my face covered with blood, which is scary." Hua Cui was curious, "Why are you going to the county seat?"
"I sent some things from home. I'll go to the post office to pick them up."
Hua Cui nuzzled, this kid had a lot of good things in his hands, and he ran to the post office every two days. In the days when everyone could not afford pork, he had secretly achieved the freedom of canned beef.
"I really envy you for having such good parents." Hua Cui was so greedy that her family was well off and her parents would send her supplies every now and then.
Unlike the original owner, she wore it for so long and received nothing.
"By the way, I still have a few bags of beef jerky here. I can't finish them all by myself." Zhou Haiwen took out a few bags of beef jerky from his pocket. It was difficult for him to hide them so well, and he said without blushing or out of breath, " Can’t finish it”.
In this day and age, how can there be times when we can’t finish our food?
"Oh, how embarrassing is this? Thank you, Zhou Haiwen." Hua Cui accepted the beef jerky with a smile.
The smile on his face became more sincere. This trip was worth it.
Zhou Haiwen looked at her cheerful look and whispered softly: "You're welcome, as long as you are happy."
Hua Cui shook her head: "But I can't be happy."
"What's wrong? Are you wronged? Or is he treating you badly?"
Hua Cui told the story about the recent rumors and Sun Mingjing. Of course, she had slightly polished it herself. The targets of Sun Mingjing's rumors were basically old men and women in the village. These people liked to gossip when they had nothing to do.
The educated youth and the villagers are not in conflict with each other, and they usually can't get together. Hua Cui guesses that they are probably like herself, and each one is more closed-minded than the other.
Sure enough, Zhou Haiwen frowned after hearing this and asked: "So, does Comrade Zhao Qiming fight with people because of these things?"
Hua Cui nodded: "But we have no evidence, and it would be too cheap to beat Sun Mingjing up."
Zhou Haiwen felt a little regretful.
He didn't know much about this, he just thought that Zhao Qiming was young and frivolous and acted impulsively. He originally planned to take this opportunity to give Huacui some eye drops to make her dislike Zhao Qiming...
but.
"Cui Cui, if you are willing to believe me, leave this matter to me and I will take care of it."
Zhou Haiwen frowned, lowered his head and his eyes turned cold for a moment. Sun Mingjing... he had many "dealing" methods.
Huacui pretended to be surprised: "Really? Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
"Of course not." Zhou Haiwen affectionately straightened her long hair that was blown by the wind. "On the contrary, I hope that when you encounter difficulties, the first person you turn to for help will be me. This is my honor."
Huacui: "..."
She reminded tactfully: "I'm married."
Zhou Haiwen smiled: "I know."
Hua Cui is a straightforward and frank person most of the time, but occasionally she gets into trouble. For example, at this moment, when Zhou Haiwen invited her, she came without any worries and excitedly, but she always said something mean " I am married".
She didn't have any psychological burden herself, but she didn't like others and always wanted to step on Zhou Haiwen and stab him.
No matter before or after reading books, her habit of tormenting people has never changed.
Facts have proved that she still underestimated Zhou Haiwen's face.
"Well, it's getting late, I'll go back first."
Hua Cui used getting up at night as an excuse to go out. If she stayed any longer, Zhao Qiming would probably suspect that she had fallen into a latrine.
"Okay, I'll give you a ride."
"No, I can do it myself. You can go back and rest. We... will talk next time."
Zhou Haiwen was startled and smiled at the corners of his eyes: "Okay, let's talk next time."
Hua Cui returned to Zhao's house satisfied. She slipped into the main room and quietly hid the few bags of beef jerky she had obtained in the pile of debris.
She couldn't explain the origin of the beef jerky, so she had to hide it secretly and take it out the next day when she was alone at home.
Hua Cui closed the door of the hall, turned around and walked a few steps before she saw Zhao Qiming standing at the door. He didn't know how long he stood there, looking at her quietly.
"What are you doing here? You are scary, you will scare them to death! Do you know?" Hua Cui got angry.
She didn't know exactly how much he saw, but she remembered seeing no one there when she entered.
Zhao Qiming looked calm, and there was nothing unusual about his appearance: "I just heard a noise outside, so I got up to take a look. I didn't expect it was you."
Hua Cui patted her chest and punched him: "You scared me to death, did you know that you made no sound when you walked?"
She took his arm, leaned against him lazily and said in a soft voice: "Okay, what time is it, go back to sleep."
Zhao Qiming said "hmm" softly and asked: "What did you do in the main room just now?"
"Don't ask too much about girls."
Zhao Qiming was the only one who didn't ask, but Hua Cui couldn't think of a suitable reason to deal with him for a while. She made too many mistakes, so she simply didn't say anything and didn't let him ask.
If I ask her again, she will get angry. "Okay." Zhao Qiming knew in his heart that Hua Cui was hiding something from him.
The next day, the first thing Hua Cui did when she got up was to go to the main room to retrieve the beef jerky she had hidden. She counted it and found that there was not one package too much or one package missing. The location was the same as where she had put it last night.
It seems no one noticed.
Model worker Xiao Ming had a half-day break yesterday afternoon and went to work in the fields again early this morning. Zhao Fuguo was worried about the vicious fight between him and Sun Mingjing. In the end, he simply beat each other fifty and regarded the two as typical in front of the entire brigade. They were scolded for the negative cases, and even voted down the two people's end-of-year evaluation of excellence and models.
Sun Mingjing is a mute who eats Coptis chinensis and cannot tell of his sufferings. Zhao Qiming is a native of the countryside. His reputation is of little use, but it is different for educated youths. Those who perform well can even return to the city early
Having lost an opportunity in vain, Sun Mingjing was so angry that he could vomit blood, but he did not dare to completely offend the Zhao family, so he could only admit defeat.
But he didn't expect that things were far from over.
Sun Mingjing found that he had been really unlucky recently. First, when he was working in the fields, his hoe came loose and injured his left foot. Then his house was stolen. The package he just got back from the post office disappeared in the blink of an eye. What's more, the entire educated youth We ate with the people who ordered, but he was the only one who ate poisonous mushrooms and had vomiting and diarrhea while leaning on a cane
His expression was grim.
Once or twice he could regard it as an accident, but once it happened more than once, the piles connected one after another. Sun Mingjing couldn't believe that he was really so unlucky. Someone must have deliberately retaliated!
The first person he suspected was Zhao Qiming, but after several days of secret observation, he found no useful clues, unless Zhao Qiming could clone himself. But how could that be possible.
What was even more irritating was that one morning, as soon as Sun Mingjing went out, he was stopped by a tall man. The man had a sinister face, stared at him angrily, and slapped him several times without saying a word.
Sun Mingjing was stunned by the slap, his teeth were loose and bleeding, and half of his face was swollen. He didn't even know who this man was!
He could no longer maintain his "personable" image and cursed loudly, attracting many passers-by to watch. However, the man was obviously angrier than him. He spat and told what happened in a fast but very clear manner.
It turned out that Sun Mingjing, a talkative man, spread the rumor that his wife had someone outside, saying that he saw his wife having a private meeting with someone in Xishan yesterday, but at that time his wife was clearly staying with him!
"I was almost deceived by you bitch! Let me see if I don't tear your mouth apart today!"
Hua Cui stood behind the crowd and raised her eyebrows after hearing this. The script she gave her didn't include this sentence. It was purely a secret addition by him.
The onlookers were also very impressive.
"I testify that Dashan did stay with his wife yesterday."
"It turned out to be a lie. Let me tell you, Dashan and his wife obviously have such a good relationship."
"Why are you so vicious? Why did Dashan's wife provoke him?"
"Who knows, I can't believe a word this person says!"
"Unfortunately, I thought it was not easy for educated youths before. It turns out that this person is a talkative person"
Among the chattering crowd, there were actors hired by Zhou Haiwen with his money, and real people who didn't know the truth but were exploited. In short, the public opinion was one-sided.
Sun Mingjing was so angry that he was dizzy and his eyesight turned black. He wanted to faint immediately and let the time go back to an hour ago. These people! These people are simply slanderous!
He doesn’t know Dashan at all, let alone his wife, and he has never said these words!
It's all slander! It's all slander! It's all slander!
Sun Mingjing spat out a mouthful of blood with saliva. He wanted to refute vaguely with a swollen face, but no one wanted to believe him at this time. Who would dare to believe a talkative man who loves to spread rumors?
Hua Cuili stood in the crowd watching his ugly appearance. She yawned slightly. In order to watch this good show, she got up so early.
"I didn't! I didn't say that at all!" Sun Mingjing saw Hua Cui in the crowd for some reason, and he suddenly wanted to explain to her urgently.
She didn't look disgusted at herself like the others.
Maybe, maybe she believed him... It was true that he did something wrong before, but he was just angry that she chose Zhao Qiming!
Hua Cui frowned slightly, but still showed a look of pity. She took a few steps forward and handed him the handkerchief: "Wipe it, it's all blood."
Sun Mingjing trembled and wanted to take it, but he heard Hua Cui say in a breathy voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Of course I know how wronged you are."
"After all, I framed you."
