Reborn in the countryside, a delicate educated youth married a rough man and became a millionaire

"Be careful--"

A hand tightly grasped Shen Shuhe's arm, and Shen Shuhe fell into a broad chest as the world spun around. The smell and temperature were so familiar.

Shen Shuhe was walking on the path with a winnowing basket on her shoulder. As the path was very narrow, she slipped accidentally. Just as she was about to fall, someone grabbed her arm.

Shen Shuhe immediately broke away from that familiar embrace, so fast that it seemed as if he was avoiding something.

"Thank you, Comrade Qin." Shen Shuhe kept his head down the whole time.

Qin Si looked at the top of Shen Shuhe's head, pursed his lips, and then said, "It's okay."

Shen Shuhe squatted down and put the things that had fallen off back into the dustpan.

"Let me do it." Qin Si squatted down and joined Shen Shuhe.

Shen Shuhe leaned back and said in a calm voice, "No, thank you, Comrade Qin."

Qin Si paused for a moment while squatting, then continued his action, as if he didn't hear Shen Shuhe's words.

He put all the sweet potatoes scattered on the ground into the winnowing basket, then picked up the basket and walked forward without saying a word.

Shen Shuhe looked at Qin Si's smooth movements with a frown on his face, not knowing what Qin Si meant.

Logically speaking, I have made it very clear in this life and should not have any contact with him anymore.

But why is it that the more I hide from this man, the more he always appears in front of me at unexpected moments?

Looking at Qin Si's receding back, Shen Shuhe took a deep breath and slowly followed him.

Qin Si walked in front, his expression was like a pool of still water, calm and deep, making it difficult to see the waves in his heart.

Only he himself knew the panic that flashed through his mind when he saw Shen Shuhe almost fall down.

At this moment, he felt even more confused.

Arriving at the destination, Shen Shuhe stood far away, with a hint of alienation in his eyes: "Thank you, Comrade Qin."

Qin Si looked at Shen Shuhe who was far away from him, and felt uncomfortable. "It's okay."

His voice was extremely low, and apart from being slightly hoarse, no emotion could be heard.

Shen Shuhe lowered her head and worked, trying her best to ignore Qin Si's existence. The dream of that day still echoed in her mind from time to time. Those were real things that happened, and this was the most fatal thing to her.

Finally, Shen Shuhe heard the footsteps moving away.

Let out a breath.

After all, Qin Si didn't do anything to her and even helped her, so she could only try to be more indifferent to Qin Si and keep her distance.

She found herself unable to do anything else.

Shen Shuhe couldn't help but laugh at himself. He felt so pathetic. He had lived a new life but seemed unable to do anything.

Night falls

"Zhiping, come here, I have something to ask you." Zhao Xiuyun was sitting in the yard. When she saw Ma Zhiping coming back from outside, she called Ma Zhiping over.

Zhao Xiuyun looked serious, with her brows slightly furrowed.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ma Zhiping walked over and looked at Zhao Xiuyun with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let me ask you, what's going on between you and those educated youth in the educated youth institute?" Zhao Xiuyun asked.

Ma Zhiping was stunned: "What's going on?"

Looking at her son's silly appearance, Zhao Xiuyun felt like her head was about to explode.

"Let me ask you, were you deceived by those educated youth into working for them? Why did you come back so late these days?" Zhao Xiuyun felt that this must be the case without even getting Ma Zhiping's answer.

When Zhao Xiuyun thought of her son helping those weak and fragile educated youth with their work, she became so angry that her face immediately turned red.

"Mom, what are you talking about? When did I ever help others with work?" Ma Zhiping thought Zhao Xiuyun was weird.

Not only did they call me over as soon as I came back, but they also insisted that I had gone to help the educated youth with their work.

"What else?" Zhao Xiuyun asked sternly.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Ma Zhiping scratched his head, looking confused and distressed.

"Mrs. Ma told me that she saw you talking and laughing with the educated youths in the educated youths' institute. Do you dare to say that you didn't?"

Ma Zhiping thought about it, but actually didn't say anything or laugh, because the educated youth ignored him completely. He wanted to ask others the educated youth's name, but he was too embarrassed to ask. When he asked her himself, she wouldn't tell him.

"You still say no, but look at you." Seeing her son looking so amorous, Zhao Xiuyun immediately frowned and looked at him coldly.

Seeing that Zhao Xiuyun had misunderstood, Ma Zhiping hurriedly explained: "Oh, Mom, don't talk nonsense, I just want to make friends with the educated youth."

"Make friends? Do you think I believe it?" Zhao Xiuyun asked solemnly.

"Really, Mom, why would I lie to you?"

Zhao Xiuyun looked at Ma Zhiping with a warning tone: "I'm telling you, Zhiping, the only daughter-in-law I recognize is Liu Juan, don't even think about the others."

When mentioning Liu Juan, Ma Zhiping looked somewhat reluctant.

Zhao Xiuyun also saw it, and said earnestly: "Liu Juan is such a good girl, filial, and she is a member of the supply and marketing cooperative, with a stable job and income. She doesn't despise you. If you don't hurry up, be careful that Liu Juan won't want you anymore."

Ma Zhiping said nonchalantly: "If you don't want it, then don't."

He didn't like Liu Juan in the first place. Liu Juan was not a likable person at all. She liked to bully people and was particularly rude.

"Ma Zhiping!" Zhao Xiuyun scolded.

"I understand, Mom." Ma Zhiping said perfunctorily.

Zhao Xiuyun took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, remember what your mother said, otherwise, I will break your legs."

Ma Zhiping shrank his neck and dared not speak.

"Okay, okay, stop talking." Seeing that the situation was almost over, Ma Zhiping's father, Ma Tianguo, came out to act as a peacemaker.

While comforting Zhao Xiuyun, he said to Ma Zhiping: "Zhiping, just listen to your mother. Besides, those educated youth will have to go back sooner or later. Why are you provoking them?"

Ma Zhiping didn't say anything.

"You should have less contact with them in the future." Zhao Xiuyun scolded. In her opinion, it must be those educated youth who provoked Ma Zhiping.

Otherwise, how could an honest man like Ma Zhiping take the initiative to provoke those people.

They must want to find someone who is obedient and easy to deceive to help them do the work. That must be the case.

So Zhao Xiuyun blamed all the mistakes on Shen Shu and them.

So the next day, Zhao Xiuyun came to Shen Shu and the others and started to act sarcastic.

"Some people just think that we country folk are easy to deceive, so they use sweet words to deceive us honest people and make others do things for them. They are really shameless."

"His aunt, who are you talking about?"

"Whoever you say that knows the answer. It's a pity that we honest people have been cheated without even knowing it." He looked in the direction of Shen Shu and them with a vague look.
