Most of the roads in Jiang County were built along various rivers. They are winding and narrow. Bicycles sway slowly when riding, and one has to get off from time to time to make way for the wheelbarrows pushed by the villagers.

Then, under their envious eyes, I continued to get on the bus and walked down.

We walked on and off for about half an hour and finally arrived at Shangxi Brigade.

Although they belonged to different production brigades, they actually knew each other very well. The Shangxi Brigade where Ye Pin's family lived was later merged with the Xiaxi Brigade where the Xie family lived and the Zhongxi Brigade in the middle. Many years later, the three brigades were called Huaxi Village.

Ye Pin's home is under a bridge, and there is no need for directions. There are adobe houses all around, and occasionally brick houses, but only Ye's home lives in a thatched house.

There were three thatched houses, housing eight people.

When Xu Jianqiang reached the door, he began to ring the bell. The ring of his bicycle was very penetrating: "Ye Pin, is Ye Pin here?"

Ye Pin came out of the house and saw Jie Guiqiu, who was lowering his head and wanted to hide behind Wen Qin. His face turned pale.

Wen Qin looked up and down at this "Golden Phoenix" whom she had hardly seen in her previous life.

This poor student was admitted to the best university in the country. After returning from school, he brought his new wife to hold a large-scale ancestor worship ceremony in the village, and then he took his entire family to the imperial capital to enjoy a life of luxury.

In the 80s, this kind of story was considered a good story by both men and women in the village.

The crazy person who wanted him to marry his country woman, Jie Guiqiu, was the lunatic.

But in the new century, after reading so many jokes, stories and real-life events on the Internet, most people can instantly understand what a Phoenix Man is.

The first requirement for a Phoenix Man is that he should be good-looking.

In fact, according to Wen Qin's standards after seeing so many celebrities in later generations, the Phoenix Man can only get a 60-point appearance at most.

But according to current aesthetic standards, Phoenix Men score at least 90 points.

He is tall in today's society, probably over 170cm tall. He has regular features, a square face, and a fair complexion that doesn't look like someone who does farm work. His clothes are washed white and a little pudding-like, but they are very neatly dressed. Plus, he has an admission letter from the country's top university. If it weren't for his family background, he would have been a perfect choice for a son-in-law.

No wonder Xie Guiqiu plunged into it.

However, it is true that Xie Guiqiu is stupid, but it is even more hateful that he cheated the girl of her money and then gave the scumbag nothing in return.

"Ye Pin, should we talk here or go to the side?" Xu Jianqiang saw people peeking around and thought to himself, it's rare for college students to come out from here, and they're about to report to the capital, so he should give them some face.

Wen Qin raised her eyebrows. She knew what Xu Jianqiang was thinking, but she didn't object.

As for face, Xu Jianqiang can't keep it just because he wants to.

The three of them walked towards the bridge tunnel next to the Ye family’s house.

This bridge was built many years ago. It can accommodate two Jiefang brand trucks in parallel and was considered the largest project within a radius of 100 miles at the time.

The area under the bridge is a good place for villagers to cool off in the summer, so the ground is made very flat. But now it is bitterly cold in winter, and there is no one here.

The four of them stood still, and Wen Qin pulled out Jie Guiqiu, who had been hiding behind her, and said, "You speak for yourself."

Xie Guiqiu shrank her head and secretly looked up at Ye Pin. She didn't dare to speak for a long time. Wen Qin twisted her waist.

Xie Guiqiu twisted around like an earthworm, and Xu Jianqiang turned his face away, pretending not to see it.

Ye Pin also bit his lower lip and stared at Jie Guiqiu intently. Unfortunately, Jie Guiqiu had been slapped so hard by Wen Qin yesterday that the little bit of romantic expectations she had for him had become very small.

Wen Qin still understood Guiqiu. Although she was sometimes stupid and gullible, in essence, she loved herself. She was unwilling to admit it just because she wanted to save face. But if she lost her face, she would frantically protect her inner self and would never let herself suffer any loss.

She asked her to pay the money back to Ye Pin herself.

It is absolutely impossible to marry Ye Pin when her dream is shattered.

So, she will definitely get the money back.

"Ye Pin, can you please return the 180 yuan and the eggs I gave you to me?"

Xie Guiqiu lowered his head and his voice was not very loud, but the bridge tunnel had the effect of amplifying human voices and even had an echo, so the other three people present heard this sentence clearly.

"Gui Qiu, this money, this money is a loan from me, okay? You know, when I go to college..."

"What do you mean by 'borrowed it from you'?" Wen Qin interrupted Ye Pin's argument. "Borrowing is borrowing, giving is giving, so do you plan to pay it back or not?"

Ye Pin didn't know Wen Qin, but the bumps on her face were well-known in the neighborhood. Plus, she was the one driving Jie Guiqiu here, so Ye Pin guessed her identity immediately.

"Ms. Wen, this is a new society. The feudal patriarchal style is no longer popular. This is a matter between Comrade Jie Guiqiu and me. Please don't interfere."

Seeing Ye Pin speaking righteously and trying to make the decision for Jie Guiqiu, Wen Qin laughed in anger: "In the new society, you can instigate a little girl to steal her sister-in-law's money to go to school for yourself?"

Ye Pin looked surprised: "Comrade Jie Guiqiu, this, this, this money..."

Xie Guiqiu bit her lower lip and tried to hide behind Wen Qin, but was grabbed by Wen Qin.

Ye Pinyi gritted his teeth and said, "This money was given to me by Jie Guiqiu, so it is mine. I didn't know she stole it, so you can't blame me."

At that time, stealing money was a very serious crime, and going to college was not just about grades. If he was involved in stealing money, he would not be able to go to college even if he had money.

When Xie Guiqiu heard his words, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He immediately looked up at Ye Pin with disbelief in his eyes.

Even Xu Jianqiang, who had been standing by silently, was a little stunned at this time.

He never expected that Ye Pin would be such an irresponsible person.

Only Wen Qin laughed. She hugged Jie Guiqiu and whispered in her ear, "Are you awake?"

Xie Guiqiu's tears burst out instantly. His eyes, already red and swollen from crying, looked very miserable, and now they looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.

She just squatted down, hugged her knees, and sobbed. Her voice was not loud, but it made people feel heartbroken.

The vague little girl's feelings were finally shattered by this statement that distanced herself from the relationship.

Even a second ago, when she asked for money, she still hated Wen Qin in her heart. She felt that Wen Qin obviously had money, so why did she force her and Ye Pin like this.

It is obvious that Wen Qin could have forgiven others, but why did he not care about his own face at all?

Wen Qin's earnest words yesterday were ultimately no match for the fatal blow from her lover at the last moment.
