Wang Ming looked at the mountain of rice, yam, cabbage, radishes, and potatoes, stuttering, "This... this is really... for me!"
Zhou Ren'er nodded, and Xiao Shuan brought a large sack to stuff the items into. As the spokesperson, Aunt Ren Er gestured for him to come forward, "Little Wang, this Five Yuan is your payment. Take it!"
Wang Ming felt a bit dizzy; they were really giving him a salary. Should he accept it? Would it be a trap set by those women? "I... don't want it!" Five Yuan! His heart was bleeding!
Aunt Ren Er heard this and smiled more brightly, "Take it! Our words are like spilled water that can't be taken back. If you refuse it, I won't know how to explain."
Wang Ming clutched the money tightly. "I am accepting labor reform!" Aunt Ren Er's impression of Wang Ming improved a bit more. Just as she was about to say something, Spring Peach led Yezhi into the room.
Wang Ming was startled and immediately slammed the money onto the table with determination, saying, "I feel guilty accepting this money. Uncle, Aunt... you not only gave me a chance to start over but treated me so well... I... I..." Before he could finish, tears streamed down his face.
Aunt Ren Er patted his shoulder while nodding in appreciation. Spring Peach smiled at Wang Ming, and Xiao Shuan was the most sentimental. "Little Wang, our teacher says that a kid who can recognize their mistakes and change is a good kid. You can still be a good person without lying!"
"I will!" Wang Ming said while rubbing his eyes vigorously.
"Haha...!" Yezhi laughed uncontrollably; the scene was so out of place and dramatic. Wang Ming still needed some lessons! A piece of dyed cloth couldn't be cleaned just with water.
The Zhou family was confused by her laughter. Wang Ming had intended to shout a few more praises for Aunt Ren Er, but that woman's laughter ruined the atmosphere he had worked so hard to build. He glanced at her from the corner of his eye.
"Not acting anymore!" That woman had become clever; how did she know he was acting?
"What??" Wang Ming pretended to be confused.
"Things that aren't sincere are disgusting to look at!" Upon hearing this, Wang Ming got angry. "What gives you the right to say I'm not sincere?" During this time, he had seen clearly that the people in this village were genuinely good—so good that it was almost foolish. Who would treat a con artist with such kindness? Most of his injuries were from his own struggles; throwing him medicine was already merciful, and that Barefoot Aunt came every day to change his bandages. Even the worst woman among them hadn't truly mistreated him.
Without lime, they couldn't repair the road, yet these people still gave him money and sent him off with things. He felt it was incredibly unreal and thought these people were utterly foolish!
Zhou Ren'er stepped forward, "Yezhi, what are you all doing?" Spring Peach looked at Wang Ming and then at Yezhi. "Wang... Wang!" She stammered, unable to articulate what she meant.
"Why are you stuttering, girl? Just say what you want to say loudly!" Aunt Ren Er was irritated by Spring Peach's hesitance.
"Brother Wang... he's a good person, he can change!" It was not easy for Spring Peach to shout like that! Could it be that she had thought too poorly of him?
Sigh~ After staying in Zhoujiatun for so long, she seemed to have become conflicted, and her decisiveness was fading. Xiao Fang said she was going through a transitional period, shifting from a "cold" modern person to someone from Zhoujiatun. Just hearing that was frightening, but the reality left no room for her to avoid it...
Wang Ming was also dumbfounded; why did this family have so much confidence in him when he didn't even have confidence in himself?
After leaving the Zhou family, she walked ahead while Wang Ming carried the sack behind her. The two of them were silent until they reached the bridge.
Yezhi finally spoke, "The Cart Master will take you home later." After saying that, she prepared to leave.
"Are the people in your village out of their minds?" Wang Ming said irritably as he dropped the sack.
Yezhi remained silent because sometimes she felt the same way.
"You really made me lose my mind; I get nervous just seeing you. But you're the only one in your village with sharp eyes. People like me can't just change on a whim; crying, begging, and sweet-talking are my specialties..." The more Wang Ming spoke, the more exaggerated his expressions became.
Yezhi patted his shoulder, "Why are you rambling? Anyway, whether you change or not, you'll end up at the police station or the Re-education Center. Life is full of choices, and you only have two paths: one with a wife, kids, and a warm bed; the other with vegetables, radishes, and an empty sky."
"That's not bad either; at least I won't starve!" Wang Ming said while looking up at the bright blue sky, so clear and vast. After staring for a long time, he said, "I can't do anything! I can't support my mother or myself. You guys in Zhoujiatun have plenty of food and are foolish; why not just take care of me and my mother together!"
"Get lost!"
After sending Wang Ming away and returning home, Wolf Boy Feng Tai urged her to set off. "Yezhi, let's go!"
"The person is coming back!" Didn't that girl realize? She went to Aunt Ren Er's house just to avoid taking them along; otherwise, people would really think she went to send off that conman Wang!
Sister Luo, Aunt Zhou, hurry back!
What about Elder Brother Yu? Why isn't he taking care of Wolf Child since he's not in school? (Yu Jianhua: I wonder who advocated for lenient education for Wolf Child; don't push her too hard?)
"Let's go!" Wolf Child lifted a wooden stick, one end in her hand and the other end carrying two large bundles, and rushed out the door first.
Crazy Taiyi held Niu Niu in her arms while pulling Yezhi along with one hand. Luckily, Black Treasure had gone with One Gun Brother to finish up some work; otherwise, it would have been more troublesome.
Having just been inspired by gym class, Wolf Child liked to shout commands for no reason: "One two one two...!"
As they were about to leave the village, she still hadn't decided whether to go up the mountain or look for her husband.
"Master, you can take them for a quick tour around the mountain and then head home. We can sneak out again tomorrow!" Yes, why was she being so obedient today!
"Wolf Child this way!" Wolf Child happily followed her instructions and headed downstream towards the small river, with Madwoman closely following.
The further they went into the mountains, the colder it became. Madwoman shrank her body and gradually slowed down. "Master, Madwoman is tired!" Her mother-in-law had taken Bidefo's medicine and was as strong as a calf; how could she already be exhausted just after starting up the mountain?
Curiously, she walked in front of Madwoman. "Tired? Huh~ why is your body so cold!" Madwoman sniffled and gave her an innocent smile. When she pulled open Madwoman's collar, she was shocked to find that she wasn't wearing anything underneath. Playing in this weather without clothes was dangerous!
Wolf Child felt wronged after being hit on the head by Yezhi; it wasn't her fault that Madwoman insisted on wearing that ragged outfit. Besides, she was only wearing one piece of clothing and wasn't cold enough to make such a fuss!
"Firewood is here!" Wolf Child threw a bundle of dry branches at Yezhi, who got hit and ended up covered in dirt. Yezhi really wanted to kick her back, but that girl was too alert and ran far away: "Hehe~!"
Madwoman, draped in Yezhi's clothes, immediately stood up when she saw Wolf Child running. Yezhi was left dizzy by the antics of the two, wishing she could kick them both off the mountain right away.
