Chapter 351: The Soft‑Waisted Educated Youth Is Pampered by Her Boyfriend 14

Not even three hours had passed since the incident when, in the afternoon, Jin Chen was leading his three little brothers to help his uncle turn the valley, when he saw an educated youth run to the neighboring house and make a phone call to Xu Lin. Immediately afterward, Xu Lin turned his head fiercely, glared at Jin Chen several times, then anxiously ran over.

【Hahaha, Host, the protagonist top can now only lie on the bed groaning; even the barefoot doctor approaching him feels like he'll get hit.】

【Serves him right.】

Jin Chen chuckled and continued harrowing the valley's edge.

"Jin Bro, why is that kid glaring at you?" Liu Dazhuang knew Xu Lin and Zhang Zhishuai were in cahoots, so he immediately thought they were stirring up trouble again.

"He's acting crazy."

Jin Chen gave a brief reply.

The three brothers couldn't help laughing; the laughter drifted from the courtyard to Xu Lin's ears before he had walked far, making him even angrier, and he instinctively blamed Jin Chen for doing it.

Besides him, who else in Fengshu Cun could have such ability to beat Zhang Ge so badly he couldn't get out of bed!

Yet they had no evidence, not even enough to take the matter to the village chief.

——

A few more days passed.

During these days, Jin Chen's daily routine was: wake up in the morning, do some farm work at home, then go find his wife; sometimes he'd stay there for lunch and only return home in the evening.

Gui Fang and her siblings initially wanted to ask a few questions, but Jin Chen said he had work earning money to handle; this excuse never failed, after all the money he produced was genuine and couldn't be faked.

Now life keeps getting better, Gui Fang's smile grows more frequent, and she no longer suffers the former white looks or open sarcasm.

Perhaps there are still whispers behind their backs, but the Jin Chen family doesn't care—after all, who hasn't badmouthed someone behind their back? As long as it's not said openly, it's fine.

One early morning, the loudspeaker on the big maple tree in the village blared, telling villagers that tonight they would watch a movie at the main square and that each household should bring their own chairs.

This news made everyone delighted; men and women, old and young, all looked forward to it, and the whole village was filled with a joyful atmosphere all day.

That evening.

Jin Chen had his three brothers go early to help his maternal uncle seize seats; with them there, nobody dared to snatch the good spots, and Gui Fang and Gui Hua took a fine front-row seat.

After it grew dark, Jin Chen brought Mo Zhinan, arriving late but leisurely.

Originally Mo Zhinan didn't want to come to such a crowded place, but tonight there were other activities; educated youths had to sign in for attendance, otherwise they'd lose points.

He felt helpless, so he simply came with Jin Chen, thus avoiding having to mingle with those educated youths.

"Don't be afraid; just stay by my side."

As Jin Chen ushered him over, he directly took a seat at the side, letting Mo Zhinan sit at the very edge, with only himself beside him; ahead was a space blocked by a tree where no one could sit, but it didn't obstruct the view.

This seat made him feel much better, yet he still clung tightly to Jin Chen's sleeve; smelling the familiar agarwood scent eased him a little, so he wasn't visibly tense.

Jin Chen had also earlier told Gui Fang and her siblings about Mo Zhinan's situation, and they expressed understanding.

The three brothers and Liu Xiaomei sat on Jin Chen's left, with a distance separating them from the two of them.

With more than ten minutes left before the movie started, villagers had already been bringing their chairs over one after another; the scene was bustling, and quite a few people from neighboring villages had come to watch, and the village chief welcomed them as well.

【Time-limited task: Spend 20 yuan in cash within 3 hours.】

Jin Chen's smiling face while chatting with his wife froze.

【Can't you let me rest even while watching a movie?】

【Random, maybe it'll come in handy tonight!】

"What's wrong?" Mo Zhinan wondered, thinking Jin Chen had thought of something unpleasant.

"Nothing," Jin Chen shook his head, glancing around behind him.

During the movie, when the crowd was lively, many households had brought out homemade biscuits to sell, and there were also some soy‑milk popsicles.

"I'll go get you some soy milk and pastries to eat; the village chief said today's movie is two hours long."

Mo Zhinan also glanced back upon hearing that, but his hand gripping Jin Chen's sleeve didn't loosen: "No… let's go together."

Seeing the person before him looking at him with a slightly pleading gaze, Jin Chen couldn't bear to say no, so he took his hand and pulled him up.

"All right, let's go together."

He rose, took his hand and walked toward the back, not forgetting to call the three little brothers to follow.

"Auntie, give me some yellow bean cake and soy milk, nine portions each."

Upon hearing this, the auntie happily agreed, quickly scooping the food into bowls.

In this era, street stalls had no disposable utensils; after eating, one had to return the bowls and milk jars.

Liu Dazhuang counted the people; although he didn't know who the extra portion was for, he saw that Jin Chen had even prepared a share for his sister, and hurriedly said, "Jin Bro, my sister and I will share one portion."

Jin Chen thought, "You're kidding; I'm annoyed I can't spend my money, yet you're saving it."

"Forget it; with your build, half a portion wouldn't be enough."

While waiting for the auntie to fill the bowls, a noisy family child also came over intending to buy a portion; seeing that everything was being bought by Jin Chen, he clicked his tongue inwardly and bluntly said, "Being rich really makes a difference."

Moreover, some educated youths who used to look down on Mo Zhinan came to buy, saw this scene, and became so angry they couldn't help but jeer, saying he lived off others' mouths; the three little brothers just stood there and scared him off.

Mo Zhinan, however, didn't care either; he couldn't even remember who that person was.

He merely glanced furtively at the plastic box selling popsicles nearby, wanting to go buy one himself, but he didn't want to interact, and telling Jin Chen made him think Jin Chen wouldn't let him eat it.

After all, he had eaten two extra cucumbers at home, and Jin Chen would warn him to be careful about catching cold.

His little thoughts were really too obvious; Jin Chen found it hard to pretend not to notice.

Just as Mo Zhinan was still hesitating, Jin Chen suddenly walked a few steps to the side and said, "Boss, give me a few cream‑flavored popsicles, and separately one chocolate‑flavored popsicle."

Mo Zhinan's eyes lit up.

How does he know I like chocolate‑flavored ones!

"Hey, take it."

First Jin Chen had Liu Dazhuang and the others hold onto his own portion, then he told Lv Erding to deliver the yellow bean cake and soy milk to his mother and maternal uncle; he didn't prepare popsicles for them, since elders have a fixation that eating popsicles is bad.

His own and Mo Zhinan's portions were all held in his hand.

He handed the chocolate‑flavored popsicle to the person beside him who had been waiting a long time; Jin Chen chuckled, "If you wanted it, why didn't you tell me?"

Mo Zhinan took it, replied in a low voice, "I'm afraid you won't let me."

This appearance is really too obedient; Jin Chen couldn't resist rubbing his wife's head, "Tonight you can eat, even if you don't eat often usually you can eat."

Liu Xiaomei happily held a pile of snacks, happily thanked Jin Chen, "Thank you, Jin Dage!"

The little girl's voice was crisp Shengsheng, Jin Chen raised his head and replied, "No need to thank."

Even after buying so many snacks, he spent less than three; Jin Chen sighed and, under the cover of night, tossed the extra portion into the space.

0731 ate one and felt satisfied.
