"Then what?" Damn Xiaobinzi, why is he so calm? This is not the reaction she wanted to see. In fact, what does she want to see? She isn't sure, but it just feels wrong!
"You... aren't angry?" Yezhi managed to ask a completely unhelpful question after holding it in for a long time, purely instinctively.
"Forget the past! From now on, I will treat you well!" The more sincere Lin Haitao sounded, the more shocked Yezhi became. She finally stumbled upon a good opportunity, but had she ever mentioned the past to him?
The seriousness and tolerance in Lin Haitao's eyes were almost melting her away. He really doesn't care! She had never thought that not being a virgin was an issue; she had long decided to "deceive him to the end." Of course, she wouldn't prepare things like chicken blood or red ink. Some things become fake when done too much. She still had some confidence in using her body to fool Xiaobinzi, that naive boy. Besides, she had only been intimate with one man before and hadn't done anything for six years; her functions had regressed to the very beginning.
Zhang Ling said, "No man minds." In fact, she believed that way when she was seventeen or eighteen. Time always pushes us forward; times change, and people change. Xiaobinzi not minding is quite rare in this relatively conservative era. Ultimately, she doesn't believe that feelings remain unchanged and doesn't trust Xiaobinzi enough. Trust is something that truly needs to be built over time.
"Yezhi, don't do foolish things anymore; it's not worth it!" Xiaobinzi's words were filled with concern. Her earlier self-deprecating remarks about not being a virgin were said impulsively, but she's not foolish. With their marriage report not approved, it would be extremely difficult for them to get married. She heard that those who are stubborn end up losing their jobs. By saying that, there was both distrust and an alternative form of care; perhaps when the day comes to make a decision, it could make things easier for Xiaobinzi.
"When have I ever done something foolish?" Yezhi pursed her lips, refusing to admit that her earlier confession was a mistake.
"No foolishness? Then who did Aunt Zhou save from the river last year?" This remark left Yezhi pounding her chest and coughing incessantly.
"Aunt Zhou told me everything!"
"What did she say?" Yezhi was very curious.
Lin Haitao said seriously: "I am different from the person who abandoned you; I will treat you very well!"
Yezhi wanted to laugh; this misunderstanding means that Aunt Zhou has always thought she jumped into the river because someone abandoned her. Haha~!
"Yezi!"
She was clearly smiling, yet tears streamed down her face. The way she cried was quite timely, making Xiaobinzi's heart ache. Such a good man should not be left to roam free; he must be kept within her sphere of influence.
Yezi leaned softly against Lin Haitao, saying, "Xiaobinzi, I really want to be your wife right now." This prompted Lin Haitao to resubmit the marriage report that afternoon.
According to the report from the messenger Zhang Dou, that afternoon, the usually reserved and humble Xiaobinzi had an unprecedented argument with Deputy Director Sun.
Zhang Dou waved his fist and assured her, "I will definitely find out who spread those rumors!" Yezi smiled lightly; finding the source would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Yezi, don't you believe me!"
"I believe you! It's just..."
"It's just what?"
"It's just that I want to invite your family over for dinner tonight."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dou beamed with joy. "Great! It's been a while since I've had your cooking!"
...
With Elder Brother Yu and Sister Luo teaming up in the kitchen, there was no need for Yezi's help. Taking advantage of her free time, she made a trip to Zhang Ling's house and then visited a bookstore. She initially intended to find a few agricultural books but ended up buying over 200 comic books instead.
"Sister, you're the first person I've seen who is so willing to buy comic books!" The bookstore staff smiled as they looked at her like a cash cow and eagerly brought over bags to pack her books.
"Master, can we sell so many 'Earth's Rarity' comic books?" Since estimating the funds needed for the 18 planets, the plan to save the fruit business has been declared a failure. Xiao Fang now looks at everything with envy and wants to trade for 'Earth's Rarity.'
"Not selling; this is for those kids from One Egg, bought by that girl!" Last time when they bought comic books, the kids cherished them so much. Yezhi knows better than anyone how much they loved them. She had mentioned wanting to enrich their library, but Xiao Cheng stopped her, saying that the kids are at a good learning age and comic books would distract them. Now that summer vacation has started and Xiao Cheng is not around, it's the perfect time to enrich the kids' extracurricular life.
"Master, Brother Bai said there's no future in selling fruit anymore. Cultural export, like our New Year Pictures, is a business that brings in huge profits. By the way! Brother Bai set up a new book sales display in our store to support our profitable venture, selling his book 'Destroying Heaven and Earth to Chase After You.'” The title is quite cheesy. Xiao Bai could have chosen something better instead of writing sentimental stories.
"I say... when did Xiao Bai start to con you?"
Xiao Fang pouted in dissatisfaction, "Hmph, 'con' essentially means to deceive by any means necessary. Xiao Bai wouldn't trick me!" Fool, if not you, then who? However, Xiao Bai does have a good business mind. Cultural export? Why not put up comic books of the Four Great Classical Novels and compete with Xiao Bai.
Xiao Fang looked excitedly at the pile of comic books on the kang bed, exclaiming loudly. Even though she couldn't recognize many characters, she seriously held up 'Shining Red Star' and read it to Wolf Child.
The early-arriving Zhang Ling was tightly hugging Black Treasure, who was struggling to break free and anxiously grunting, "Mama Bear, help me! I'm being touched all over!"
After watching Black Treasure's pitiful state for a while, Yezhi finally spoke up: "Reiko, isn't Black Treasure too hot to hold with all that fur?"
Zhang Ling patted Black Treasure's chubby body, "Not hot! Black Treasure is just too cute; I want to hold it as much as I can."
After failing to rescue Black Treasure from Zhang Ling's grasp, Yezhi continued: "Have you talked to Xiao Huang yet?" Speaking of sad matters should mean she has no time to bother with Black Treasure.
Zhang Ling tightened her hold on Black Treasure and retorted, "Sister Ye, has your marriage report with Brother Lin been approved?" If this girl doesn't want to talk about it, fine; why sprinkle salt on her "wound"? (Mama Bear, I'm still in big sister's arms! No time for you; your sister was asked about something painful.)
"I'm just thinking of a roundabout way to save the country."
"Ask my dad!"
"Find everyone you can, start with your dad!" Yezhi had never been so eager to get married. Her political background was a blank slate, and she couldn't withstand scrutiny; the more they investigated, the bigger the problems became. Even if the County Party Secretary intervened, it would be hard to explain.
...
Lin Haitao and Zhu Team had just stepped out of the Investigation Room when Deputy Director Sun called out to them, "Xiao Lin, come to my house for dinner tonight. Let's have a calm and thorough discussion."
Lin Haitao hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed; some matters were better resolved sooner rather than later.
Sun Huiru stood at the door, frequently glancing outside. As soon as Lin Haitao and Deputy Director Sun appeared, her bright voice rang out like a cheerful songbird, "Brother Lin, Second Uncle."
Lin Haitao nodded slightly and followed Deputy Director Sun into the house. Sun Huiru smiled charmingly, busy serving cigarettes and tea.
Once Deputy Director Sun's wife brought out all the dishes, he began to counsel Lin Haitao.
"Xiao Lin, flies don't buzz around an uncracked egg. Those rumors, whether true or false, being with that girl will affect your future," Deputy Director Sun said earnestly. However, Lin Haitao was unconvinced; since it was his future at stake, he felt he had the right to choose.
Sun Huiru gazed at Lin Haitao with affection and noticed the atmosphere had turned a bit cold. She interjected, "Brother Lin, have some food!" She picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Lin Haitao's bowl.
"Xiao Lin, you're an elite in our bureau with a bright future ahead. What kind of daughter-in-law can't you find?"
Lin Haitao couldn't help but laugh. Just yesterday they said Yezi wasn't worthy of him; today they were talking about his future. "Deputy Director, I've said it before: 'I will decide on my marriage.'" He reiterated his stance.
Deputy Director Sun downed his drink in one gulp and sighed, "Is there really no point in saying anything? Xiao Lin, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. Marriage is a major life event; you need to be cautious."
Faced with Lin Haitao's stubbornness, Deputy Director Sun felt helpless. "I really don't understand what you young people are thinking. I'm genuinely looking out for your best interests." His concern was sincere; otherwise, he wouldn't be sitting in his home listening to him ramble on.
"What does she have that's good?" Sun Huiru couldn't help but ask.
"What does she have that's bad?"
"She's careless, uneducated, lacks grace... she's nothing compared to me." Sun Huiru was determined to voice her thoughts.
"How can Huiru speak like that!" Deputy Director Sun was surprised. Did Huiru like Lin? Were those rumors something Huiru had told him? Was there some hidden agenda?
The informed Deputy Director Sun's wife was about to stand up to ease the tension when Lin Haitao spoke up, "Well, there may be many women who are better than her, but in my heart, she is the most outstanding one."
Sun Huiru bit her lip stubbornly. She was unconvinced; she liked him, he was her hero. "I like you!" If Yezhi were here, she would definitely applaud Sun Huiru. Not many dared to express their love these days.
However, Deputy Director Sun did not think so. He slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! Do you still have any shame left?"
Lin Haitao stood up and said seriously to Sun Huiru, "I don't like you!" Being rejected by someone you like is not only heartbreaking but also embarrassing.
Lin Haitao left, leaving Sun Huiru with a cold back. The flame of love in her heart was extinguished by a night of tears.
It was unclear whether Yezhi had intervened through Secretary Zhang to facilitate things or if Deputy Director Sun felt embarrassed. Two days later, the marriage report between her and Lin Haitao was approved.
