Chapter 117: Sun Xiaoqin Transforms at Night

~8 min read 1,453 words

"Alright, let her go, don't dirty your hands." Liang Huan looked down at Sun Xiaoqin from above, "People who take me for a fool don't live very long; you can try it."

"Zhuangzhuang, pack up." Liang Huan called out to Liang Zhuang directly.

They had only arrived in the countryside yesterday and didn't have a pot or any way to heat the kang, which was why they had chosen the Educated Youth Dormitory to make do for a while before looking for a better place.

They hadn't expected to run into such a person, and then hit a hard nail in An Yinan.

Liang Huan went straight to the front courtyard to find Qian Zhao and asked for two single rooms.

"This was formerly Educated Youth An's room, and this one was formerly Educated Youth Xie's. Both of them have moved to the back, and these are the only two rooms that are tidied up; you can't live in the others." Qian Zhao didn't yet know what had happened in the back courtyard, and Wang Chunmei had watched all the excitement without any intention of going to the front to call anyone.

"An Yinan's?" Upon hearing it was An Yinan's room, Liang Huan frowned.

She went inside to take a look; it was indeed the best room, only lacking a pot, and could be moved into immediately. Moreover, this room had two small inner rooms, so she and Zhuangzhuang could live together without having to separate.

"Yes, Educated Youth An's. The layout of the room was designed by Educated Youth An herself. When Educated Youth An came to the countryside, she brought her younger brother, so she partitioned the room like this for the convenience of the two siblings living there." Qian Zhao didn't hide it; everyone in the Educated Youth Courtyard knew about this.

"What exactly is the grudge between that Sun Xiaoqin and An Yinan?" Liang Huan asked.

Upon hearing the name Sun Xiaoqin, Qian Zhao subconsciously frowned; in his heart, Sun Xiaoqin was the type of person who stirred up trouble everywhere.

"A grudge? There isn't one." Qian Zhao thought back to the process from when they first met until now.

How could there be a grudge between them?

"No grudge? How is it different from what I heard in the village?" Liang Huan said in a low voice, feeling confused. The whole village said so, it couldn't be wrong, right?

Qian Zhao chuckled upon hearing this, "There's no grudge at all; it's purely a case of someone unilaterally asking for a beating."

Liang Huan understood; put that way, it really seemed there was no grudge.

For instance, she had just let Zhuangzhuang beat her, and there was no emotional baggage from that!

Right, they didn't have a grudge either, great!

With Qian Zhao saying it like that, it was as if Liang Huan had opened the door to a new world.

"Which room have you decided on?" Qian Zhao asked.

Although he was the current person in charge of the Educated Youth Courtyard, staying in the Erjin Yuan all the time wasn't a solution.

"Let's take this one." Liang Huan pointed to the room An Yinan used to live in.

"You have a good eye. The roof of Educated Youth An's room was reinforced, and the walls inside are lined with newspapers, so you barely need to tidy up; just install a pot. However, since you're moving out, you'll have to prepare your own firewood. If you don't want to cook separately, you can eat with the main canteen, but you'll have to take turns cooking. If you cook separately, it doesn't matter; just be self-sufficient." Qian Zhao was a warm-hearted person, and as the person in charge, he naturally wanted to make everything clear in advance.

"By the way, spring is coming soon, you should start your own vegetable patch. If you want to eat from the Educated Youth Dormitory's vegetable patch, you'll have to pay in grain, which isn't worth it." Qian Zhao thought of how everyone had been shirking the work of starting a garden these past two days, and felt quite helpless.

He really didn't know how this group of Educated Youths had survived so long; aside from work that earned Work Points, they basically avoided everything they could. Not to mention taking initiative, even when tasks were assigned to them, they would just do the bare minimum.

"Okay." Liang Huan agreed.

Liang Zhuang went into the room to sweep away the dust and made the kang, only then letting Liang Huan enter.

That night, in the woods next to the Educated Youth Courtyard, Sun Xiaoqin covered her face, and Zhao Jiang looked at her with heartache.

"How did this happen?" Zhao Jiang asked, his fingers constantly rubbing Sun Xiaoqin's hand.

Sun Xiaoqin began to sob, the tears hitting her face, making her look even more miserable.

"Liang Zhuang hit me, Brother Zhao, you have to help me."

Zhao Jiang didn't know what was wrong with him these days; the work assigned to him in the village was the heaviest, and he had been carrying manure for fertilizer these past few days.

Sun Xiaoqin leaned on Zhao Jiang's shoulder and could faintly smell that scent of returning to nature.

"Xiaoqin, Qian Zhao is the person in charge now, unlike Zhang Zhihe; we can't cause any more trouble." Zhao Jiang was also somewhat helpless.

As an old Educated Youth, he was afraid of Qian Zhao; no one would believe it if he said it out loud.

But Qian Zhao was truly ruthless, and the work he assigned was based on contribution; whoever did more work had less of the village's corresponding labor.

Whoever did less work in the Educated Youth Courtyard, especially those troublemakers, ended up either sweeping pig pens or carrying manure in the village.

And the Captain tacitly approved of this arrangement. They still had to survive in Quanshui Village; who knew when they would be able to return to the City?

"Zhao Jiang, when An Yinan hit me, you didn't dare to stand up for me. Now that the new Educated Youth is bullying me, you still don't dare to stand up for me?" Sun Xiaoqin's eyes were like poison. Why was it like this?

"Xiaoqin." Zhao Jiang wanted to reach out and pull Sun Xiaoqin.

But Sun Xiaoqin dodged him with a shift of her body.

"I, Sun Xiaoqin, don't want to be with a loser." Sun Xiaoqin snorted coldly and walked away directly.

But the direction she took was not toward the Educated Youth Courtyard.

Zhao Jiang followed, only to receive a cold snort.

He was a step too slow, and could no longer see Sun Xiaoqin's figure.

At this moment, Sun Xiaoqin had already wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with poison, and walked to the West Mountain.

A figure had long been waiting there. Upon seeing someone approach, that person didn't even look at who it was and pulled her directly into his arms.

Then he kissed her directly. Sun Xiaoqin only let out a soft sound before obediently wrapping her arms around the man's waist.

Er Gouzi heard this and thought, "Alright, this is going to be good."

His hands also became restless, reaching in from under the thick cotton-padded jacket.

Sun Xiaoqin was kissed until she was somewhat oxygen-deprived. The moonlight shone over, and Er Gouzi, who had been full of excitement, let out a "Mommy!" and stood up quickly, "A ghost!"

Sun Xiaoqin felt a bit aggrieved, "Brother Er Gou."

When Er Gouzi heard the voice, it was Sun Xiaoqin.

She had been so gentle and sweet during the day, why did she transform at night?

Why did she look like this ghost now? Even if he had the desire, he couldn't get interested anymore.

"Qin'er, why is your face like this? Brother Er Gou feels so much heartache." Er Gouzi touched Sun Xiaoqin's face, his expression full of heartache, making it impossible for anyone to doubt him in the slightest.

Sun Xiaoqin blinked shyly. Brother Er Gou was indeed better at caring for people than Zhao Jiang; that coward Zhao Jiang only knew how to tell her to endure, endure, and endure.

Sun Xiaoqin embellished the story, turning the tables on today's events.

Upon hearing the name An Yinan, Er Gouzi's eyes darkened. Last time he had been beaten by that bitch until he was bedridden for half a month. Just as he was able to leave the room, he had been thrashed by the Captain's Tobacco Pouch. He had only just been able to come out and roam around, and now he heard that name again.

He really hated her to the bone!
