county seat.
Su Linlin opened the letter secretly. She felt the "weight" of the letter when she took it from the post office just now.
Thinking that there would be a thick wad of money in the letter, Su Linlin swallowed.
You know, since the last time she returned the money to Xia Yao, there was not a penny left. Not only that, Xia Yao still held her letter of apology in her hand. She was on tenterhooks every day, just thinking about what she wanted. Hurry up and get the money from Xia Qingqing, and then get back the letter of repentance.
And she had been waiting for a month, and the letter was finally delivered to her!
Su Linlin felt excited. After she opened the envelope, she saw a thick stack of solidarity.
"Xia Qingqing really still has a lot of money!" Su Linlin sneered in her heart and stuffed the money into her waistband without hesitation.
She sewed a pocket on the waistband just for today.
Su Linlin's eyes flashed with excitement. Without thinking, she rushed to the state-owned restaurant and bought a plate of braised pork with a wave of her hand.
She chewed the braised pork with big mouthfuls, as if she was chewing Xia Yao's meat, her eyes filled with hatred.
The waiter at the state-owned hotel stood on end. Fortunately, Su Linlin left after finishing her meal. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Strange." She muttered, "The last time she came here, it wasn't like this."
The scene when Su Linlin ordered ten beef buns for Xia Yao and the others last time when she came to a state-owned hotel was clear in her mind.
"What's wrong?" The eyes of the sister beside her shone, "What's wrong with that woman just now?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just..." The waiter shook his head, with confusion on his face: "The last time she came here, she just had a swollen face to look fat, but it wasn't as abnormal as today. I looked at her like she was a hole. That lunatic in the alley.”
At the mention of the madman in Dongkou Alley, the two of them shuddered in unison.
Su Linlin's face was full of gloom. She held the bulging pockets on her waistband, her eyes full of reluctance, but when she thought of Xia Yao, her eyes became firm again.
"Xia Yao!" Su Linlin muttered this name in her heart, and her hatred almost turned into reality.
She hurried back to the Qingshui Brigade, but when she arrived at the Lu family, she was rejected.
Although the Lu family was dilapidated, the walls and gate were not broken. Su Linlin stood outside the door and couldn't get in at all.
In addition, there was Lu Changbai talking to her in a loud voice, and several aunts living around had already walked out of the house with unkind expressions on their faces and were staring at her.
"This woman has come to the Lu family again. Is she trying to trick Xia Zhiqing?"
"I can't say for sure, but looking at her like this, I'm afraid you can probably guess it."
"Xia Zhiqing is such a good girl, why did she meet such a person!"
Su Linlin didn't expect that in just a short period of time, Xia Yao would become the object of praise from everyone in Qingshui Brigade. Didn't she just come up with a way to raise a chicken farm?
She can too!
Su Linlin screamed in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, but she failed to show off her pretense. Her face was blue and purple, distorted and peaceful at times, which made people's hair stand on end.
"No, no! I'm going to call my man back! What if she goes crazy?"
"I'm not crazy!" Su Linlin's eyes were as wide as bells, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Oh, her eyes are red! She must be crazy, crazy, crazy! Let's go!"
The surrounding atmosphere was quiet for a while, and then there were the rustling voices of several aunts, and two aunts running into the fields and the other to the chicken farm.
Others stood a few steps away from Su Linlin, staring at her, as if they were worried that she would do something bad to the two children of the Lu family.
Su Linlin was so filled with hatred that she moved her mouth and just about to curse, she saw Xia Yao walking back slowly on the path.
It was an awkward time for Xia Yao to hold Lu Jing's hand.
She didn't want to be so close to Lu Jing, but they were husband and wife now, so they had to pretend no matter what, so they got together.
Su Linlin's eyes almost burst into flames when she saw the two of them being so close.
"Xia Yao, are you worthy of Brother Cheng Hai?"
Su Linlin blurted out a sentence without thinking.
Xia Yao's eyes widened: "It's so good, why are you mentioning Xu Chenghai? I'm a little closer to my husband, you can just watch it if you don't want to, so why are you mentioning Xu Chenghai?"
Su Linlin wrung her hands tightly and laughed maliciously: "But Brother Chenghai is your fiancé. If you do this, aren't you afraid that Brother Chenghai will be sad?"
"Lu Jing, you can't believe what she said!" Xia Yao stamped his feet angrily and huddled in Lu Jing's arms in "grievance".
Su Linlin looked at Lu Jing nervously. In her opinion, although Lu Jing had a bad background, he had a handsome face and would never fall in love with an ugly guy like Xia Yao!
However, what disappointed her was that Lu Jing actually put his arm around Xia Yao's shoulders and leaned Xia Yao into his arms. They were husband and wife, and no one would talk much about anything they did.
Lu Jing's face only showed discomfort, not the slightest bit of disgust.
Su Linlin couldn't believe it, she took a step back: "Don't you dislike that she already has a fiancé, you..."
"She has already obtained a marriage certificate from me." Lu Jing's voice was cold, and he glanced at Su Linlin warningly, "She is my wife, what does it have to do with the Xu Chenghai you mentioned? Does it mean that if you are engaged, you must Getting married?"
Aunt Guihua had already arrived to inquire. She was furious when she heard Su Linlin's words.
"We are now in a new society! We don't want to be like the old society!" She also looked at Su Linlin warningly, "Su Zhiqing, you are still an educated youth, why can't you understand this?"
Su Linlin's face turned pale and pale, and she didn't know how to answer.
She stared at Xia Yao with sinister eyes.
Suddenly, she said: "Xia Yao, come with me."
Xia Yao looked wary, and Lu Jing grabbed Xia Yao's hand: "Don't go."
The two were leaning against each other, Lu Jing was handsome, but Xia Yao was ugly. Su Linlin couldn't believe that Lu Jing would talk to Xia Yao in such a gentle tone.
However, no matter what she thought, the facts were already in front of her.
"Xia Yao, don't forget what you promised me!" Su Linlin was extremely angry.
She came to Xia Yao today. Her original intention was to get back the letter of repentance and make Xia Yao feel disgusted. Who knew that instead of being disgusted with Xia Yao, she would actually make her feel angry.
But no matter what, she must get the confession book!
Su Linlin stared at Xia Yao, and saw a little smile in Xia Yao's peach blossom eyes, as if she was laughing at her.
"you……"
"Linlin, come with me." Xia Yao sighed.
She patted Lu Jing's hand: "I know you are worried about me, but after all, Linlin and I have been friends for many years, and she will definitely not hurt me."
Lu Jing looked worried.
He was not really worried about Xia Yao, but he was worried that Xia Yao would strike too hard. Anyone could see that Su Linlin was no match for Xia Yao.
Xia Yao crossed Su Linlin and walked to the back wall.
Su Linlin followed immediately.
Out of everyone's sight, Su Linlin gritted her teeth: "Where is what I want? Give it to me quickly!"
"Where is what I want?" Xia Yao gave her a cold look, "Did you bring it?"
Su Linlin felt a pain in her body and took out a large stack of money from her pocket.
"Three hundred and fifty yuan!" Su Linlin gritted her teeth, "Count it yourself!"
She didn't dare to look at this wad of money. Xia Qingqing was very stingy and didn't want to give more. She asked for five hundred yuan, but Xia Qingqing only gave her four hundred!
After returning the money to Xia Yao, she only had fifty yuan left!
Su Linlin's heart was bleeding, fearing that just one look at Xia Yao would make her unable to hold back her inner impulse.
However, after Xia Yao took the money, he didn't accept it immediately.
After she counted them one by one, she counted them again.
Su Linlin listened to the money rushing in her ears, but Xia Yao got it all. She was so angry that she almost bit her lip: "Have you counted enough? Where is the letter of repentance? Give it back to me!"
When Su Linlin spoke, she stared at Xia Yao closely, fearing that Xia Yao would regret it.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xia Yao collected the money slowly, "During the time you owed me money, I didn't press you for it."
"you……"
As soon as Su Linlin finished speaking, Xia Yao threw a piece of paper in her face.
Not caring about settling accounts with Xia Yao, Su Linlin quickly unfolded the paper.
After confirming that this piece of paper was the letter of repentance she wrote last time, Su Linlin immediately tore the piece of paper into pieces.
She was worried about Xia Yao, so she stuffed the piece of paper into her pocket.
Xia Yao looked at her ugly appearance and did not hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
After Su Linlin finished all this, she smoothed the hair on the side of her face and smiled at Xia Yao: "Xia Yao, did you know? Brother Chenghai and Sister Qingqing are engaged."
"I heard that the efficiency of the steel plant is very good, and Director Xu has been promoted again."
"What a pity. If you were the one who stayed in the provincial capital, wouldn't you be the Xu family's wife? Why do you have to endure hardship in this village?"
After Su Linlin said this, she waited for Xia Yao to lose control.
Who knew that the sarcasm in Xia Yao's eyes had not changed at all. She stared at Su Linlin and smiled meaningfully: "I don't regret it. Who knows where a coward like Xu Chenghai is."
"I see." Xia Yao trailed off, "Are you regretting it? After all, you have missed Xu Chenghai for so many years, but you have watched him get engaged to other people twice, and each time Not you."
