Shen Mu looked coldly at the calculating expressions of the two educated youths, and then said coldly after they finished speaking.
"Step aside."
Due to her family situation, Shen Mu lived a low-key life in the Educated Youth Institute. She ignored the ridicules and cold looks at other educated youths on weekdays, as if she had fallen into a quagmire and was completely depressed, without any temperament that a man should have.
The male educated youths who lived with him naturally looked down upon his weak personality, and when they felt angry, or were too tired from work, they would say a few words to Shen Mu to calm down their anger, so that they could sleep well at night.
Seeing Shen Mu's eyes shining coldly at them like the sharpest ice pick in the cold winter, the two educated youths felt frightened and took two steps back.
After retreating, they realized that they were actually afraid of going to Shen Mu, a capitalist bastard who would always look down on them. Their faces turned black and blue.
Shen Mu ignored them, picked up the gift and walked past them before leaving the Educated Youth Yard.
The reason why he doesn't cause trouble easily is because he has just joined the brigade, and given his situation, someone may be looking at him.
If he had a conflict with an educated youth and was known by those people or the Educated Youth Office, he would not be able to live a peaceful life now, and might be sent to a place that was several times more difficult than here.
The letter his grandfather left for him was to ask him to live well. Even if Shen Mu's heart was full of gloom, he would not take his grandfather's words in vain, because a few words put him in a difficult situation, and he went to see his grandfather not long after.
Walking to the Yu family's house along the road that he had traced in his mind countless times, Shen Mu looked up and looked into the Yu family's yard. He hesitated for a moment and did not step forward.
Yu Shu came out to pour water and saw Shen Mu standing at the door without coming in, as if she was worried about something.
Is it because he is afraid that she will bully others?
Yu Shu, who was bullied miserably by Shen Mu in her dream, opened her eyes wide and shouted at people.
"You're still standing there, do you want me to come over and invite Shen Zhiqing in?"
The girl was holding a basin, and the sleeves of her shirt were rolled up, revealing her white and slender wrists. She looked very much like a wife doing chores at home.
Shen Mu used some strength to carry the luggage and walked into Yu's house. When she approached the people, she saw that the handkerchief in the basin that Yu Shu was holding was stained with old black ash that could not be washed away.
Looking at the girl's wet hands, he seemed to be able to see Yu Shu lowering her head and trying hard to wipe the room.
"It's me who's bothering Comrade Yu's family. It's my turn to take care of these things."
He took the basin with his other free hand and saw that Yu Shu's palm was a little red, and his eyes darkened.
How can a person whose skin is rubbed red by harder clothes endure working with a harder veil?
Shen Mu took the basin away from her, but Yu Shu didn't try to snatch it back. It wasn't like she was working stupidly, so why wouldn't she want to rest if she could.
What's more, she wiped it for too long and her palms were now very hot. She already regretted trying to help.
Yu Shu glanced at Father Yu who was cleaning up the utility room and confirmed.
"It's your own responsibility, it's not that I won't do it."
This fear of being criticized by her family made Shen Mu shudder.
She might not know how lethal she is to others, so who would have the heart to accuse her? I just wish I could pile up all the good things to make people more delicate.
Shen Mu nodded and saw Yu Shu smiling with satisfaction and sneaking into the room lazily. Shen Mu carried the luggage in one hand and a basin in the other and entered the utility room which was almost tidied up.
"Shen Zhiqing is here? This house has been left there for too long and it's not easy to clean up. It's still a little damp. Don't mind Shen Zhiqing." Father Yu greeted Shen Mu hurriedly when he saw her.
He is lucky to be able to live here, and Shen Mu would not dislike it.
"It's okay, the house is damp. Just open the door and let some air blow in every day. I have to thank the captain for accepting me, otherwise I wouldn't even have a place to go."
Shen Mu smiled bitterly. He was handsome and looked like a noble prince in trouble. Father Yu, who knew his life experience, was also saddened to see him. He patted him on the shoulder as a silent comfort between men.
