Chapter 215 Chen Xue's confession was rejected, and Wang Erxiu asked Chen Shuning to keep it se
After Chen Shuning finished speaking, she lowered her head and walked out quickly. After she left the door, she raised her head, her watery eyes shy and timid, and two red clouds flew on her cheeks.
She heard what Guo Junshan said, and it turned out that he also had feelings for her.
She patted her cheek and said to herself silently: Chen Shuning, you have to calm down! Studying is important, personal problems should be put aside.
Even so, the smile on Chen Shuning's face was palpable. It was a genuine smile, tinged with the shyness of a young girl amidst her joy.
It was not until she turned the corner and saw Chen Xue stopping Li Tieniu that the joy in her heart was replaced by doubt.
Li Tieniu scratched the back of his head and said in a muffled voice, "Comrade, please move aside. I'm here to do something, and I'm in a hurry to get back after I'm done!"
Li Tieniu's tall figure completely blocked Chen Shuning who was not far away, and Chen Xue did not notice Chen Shuning's presence.
She bravely said, "Comrade Li Tieniu, there are many women out there, and you can't just hang yourself on one tree... You can also consider other... other female comrades."
Li Tieniu frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I, I mean, you can consider me..." Chen Xue said shyly: "I, I am Chen Shan's sister, my name is Chen Xue."
Li Tieniu let out a long sigh and said patiently, "I don't have any other thoughts about you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tieniu walked around Chen Xue and headed towards Lin Shitou's house.
His departure exposed Chen Shuning to Chen Xue. Chen Xue's expression immediately changed, and she asked with a frown, "Chen Shuning, were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Chen Shuning shook his head and said, "You think too much. I was just passing by."
Chen Xue stamped her feet fiercely and said fiercely, "You are eavesdropping! I tell you, if you dare to tell anyone, I will fight you."
Chen Xue was both angry and anxious. It was embarrassing enough to be rejected by the gay man she liked, and it was such a coincidence that Chen Shuning saw it.
"I'm not your mother. I don't like gossiping about others." Chen Shuning walked past Chen Xue, took a few steps, and then stopped to add, "Chen Xue, a forced melon is not sweet."
"Ah—" Chen Xue clenched her fists and shouted, "Chen Shuning!"
Chen Shuning replied with a smile: "Why are you shouting so loudly? I can hear you."
Wang Erxiu walked out of the yard and saw Chen Xue’s furious look, so he quickly dragged her back home.
Wang Erxiu said with a look of dismay, "If you really like Li Tieniu, you should have taken him down earlier. Why are you angry with Chen Shuning?"
"Mom—" Chen Xue said angrily, "Chen Shuning saw it! If she goes out and tells everyone about it, my reputation will be ruined."
"She's not that kind of person." Wang Erxiu said without hesitation: "Even though I don't like her, Chen Shuning knows the importance of things and won't say anything careless."
Chen Xue pouted and said angrily, "Mom, why are you speaking for Chen Shuning?"
"Being a fighter or making a fuss is fine, but she's still a good person." Wang Erxiu whispered, "I'm telling you, whether Chen Shuning knows or not is not important at all. If you're interested in Li Tieniu, you'd better act fast."
"How can I hold on tight?" Chen Xue said with tears in her eyes, aggrieved: "I've said it so bluntly, but Li Tieniu doesn't accept it at all. He, he doesn't care about me at all..."
Wang Erxiu coaxed him, "Don't cry! I'll ask Chen Shan to talk to him. With your conditions, I don't believe he won't be tempted."
"Don't go, it's so embarrassing..."
Chen Xue pushed Chen Hongjiang who was standing at the door away and ran into the house crying.
Chen Hongjiang was completely confused and had no idea what was going on. He walked over and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoxue? Why is she crying so early in the morning?"
Wang Erxiu quietly explained the whole story and asked, "Master, what do you think of this marriage?"
"Not very good." Chen Hongjiang shook his head like a rattle and replied in a deep voice: "Erxiu, you don't understand men. If he doesn't have our daughter in his heart, he won't treat her well even if he marries her."
After saying that, Chen Hongjiang walked out the door with his hands behind his back. After taking two steps, he stepped back and said worriedly, "Let's stop with this matter and don't mention it again.
If Secretary Lin finds out, it won't be good for our family. Besides, Xiaoxue's reputation is important, she can't afford to be with a man!"
Wang Erxiu said dissatisfiedly: "He knows what's wrong? His family looks down on Li Tieniu, but they don't allow others to have any ideas about Li Tieniu?"
Chen Hongjiang said with a stern face, "Anyway, don't tell anyone! You don't want others to laugh at our daughter for being so devoted, do you?"
His daughter regretted her decision after being frustrated, and the head of the household disapproved of it. What else could Wang Erxiu do? He could only give up on the idea.
Wang Erxiu sighed and shouted into the house, "Xiaoxue, go directly to the fields to work. Mom will get you some farm tools. Don't worry, I'll talk to Chen Shuning."
Chen Xue raised her head, wiped her tears, buried her face in her arms and started crying again.
Chen Shuning arrived a few minutes late today, and many villagers were already gathered at the warehouse entrance. She quickly opened the door, moved out the table, and began to register.
Chen Erlai sat in front of the stove at the door of the warehouse, stuffed a handful of firewood into it, and shouted, "If anyone needs hot water, come find me!"
Lin Shitou stood beside him with his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Er Laizi, you did a great job!"
Chen Erlai said embarrassedly: "Hehe... Serving the people is what I should do."
"By the way, how is the blind grandma?" Lin Shitou asked with concern: "They came back too late yesterday, I didn't have time to go over and see them."
Chen Erlai raised his head and answered, "The doctor said it was because of his old age and his blood pressure was unstable, so he prescribed blood pressure medication."
"Oh..." Lin Shitou frowned, his face full of worry: "Her family conditions are already poor, and she has to raise a child and take medicine. How can she live like this..."
Chen Erlai scratched his forehead and said in a deep voice, "I just sent some food over yesterday, so they can last for a while. But we don't have any money. We need money to buy medicine!"
Secretary Lin sighed and said, "Well, I'll report this to my superiors and see if there's any way to find some odd jobs for Gao Ye."
Jiang Lichun came over and agreed, "Yes, ask Gao Ye. Their family's situation is special, and the town should give them special care."
Everyone in Chenjia Village knew Gao Ye's situation: she had elderly parents and young children, and she was a widow. So when Lin Shitou suggested finding her some odd jobs, no one in the village objected.
Chen Shuning moved quickly and the crowd gradually dispersed.
When only Chen Shuning was left in the warehouse, Wang Erxiu came over and said, "Shuning, I have a favor to ask of you. It's about what happened this morning. Don't tell anyone!"
Chen Shuning quickly wrote down her name, looked up and said, "I didn't see anything this morning."
"I feel relieved after hearing what you said." Wang Erxiu said happily, "What should I do today?"
"Watering the fields." Chen Shuning handed her a shovel and pointed to the list on the table. "The production team leader has decided. Here's the shovel."
Watering the fields is an easy job, just make sure the water doesn't leak out.
Wang Erxiu took the shovel and said with a smile, "What is my Xiaoxue doing? She is too shy to come over, so just tell me."
Chen Shuning said crisply, "The team leader said she should go to the wasteland west of the village to plant potatoes with the educated youth. Auntie, you have to let her go quickly, it's getting late."
"Well, Shuning, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go tell her right away."
