CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: A TRUE BOSS WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS REACHING THE HEAVENS

"If you encounter difficulties, you can talk to the team leader, or I can see if I can help you!"

When Jiang Xingye said these words, his heart was pulled, bleeding.

After speaking, he didn’t dare to look at Xu Qinghuan.

Afraid to see her astonished expression.

In what capacity did he make such a statement?

A rustic man from the village!

A lazy loafer!

Or a murderer?

Xu Qinghuan was silent for a moment. Was the big boss really so loyal? Had he quickly brought her into his fold? Although she had given him two meals, the big boss had saved her twice and given her a hefty amount of supplies.

Those mushrooms were a newfound delicacy for her, along with the wild rabbit, which also held high nutritional and medical value.

Sure enough, those who accomplish great deeds are not petty, but rather, they are noble and generous, possessing extraordinary charisma.

If Jiang Xingye could read minds: ...?

But then again, why would the big boss say such things to her? How did he realize she was in trouble?

Just as Xu Qinghuan hesitated about whether to create some trouble for herself despite having none, to increase the big boss’s sunk costs, a familiar voice came, "Qinghuan?"

Xu Qinghuan turned towards the sound and saw Lin Yufei running towards her, instantly smiling brightly and waving, "Brother Yufei!"

Behind Lin Yufei were several male educated youths. When they saw Xu Qinghuan, her beauty stunned them, leaving them dumbfounded, unable to take their eyes off her.

One of the educated youths gazed at her brazenly, eyeing Xu Qinghuan up and down and asked, "Lin Yufei, is this girl your sister?"

Xu Qinghuan disliked the man’s attitude. His look was akin to a drooling dog eyeing a piece of meat, not pure admiration, but tinged with greed.

Xu Qinghuan moved a step closer to Jiang Xingye, guarded all over.

A fierce look flashed in Jiang Xingye’s eyes. He shifted sideways, shielding Xu Qinghuan behind him, blocking the gaze of those people.

Lin Yufei was also a bit unhappy. He stepped forward, his height alone blocking some people’s gaze behind him, "She is not my sister; she is my sister’s classmate. Qinghuan, I heard Lanlan say you’re here. When did you arrive?"

"I’ve been here for two days. I was just about to write a letter to Lanlan today, and give her a call."

Finding a familiar big brother thousands of miles away, Xu Qinghuan quickly relaxed, shielded by Jiang Xingye’s tall figure from the sun overhead, a cool breeze blew, bringing the pleasant scent of pine from him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they both had things to do. Xu Qinghuan invited Lin Yufei to come by when he had time, mentioning that Qiao Xinyu was also there.

"Okay, once we’re on break, I’ll come and find you guys. If you need anything, send a message to Liaozhong Team. Lanlan also asked me to take good care of you all."

Lin Yufei waved goodbye to Xu Qinghuan and left with the educated youths from Liaozhong Team.

Even from afar, Xu Qinghuan could hear someone asking him about her.

Xu Qinghuan watched for a while, then turned her head and saw Jiang Xingye’s dark face, nearly dripping water, inexplicably unhappy.

He lifted his foot to leave, and Xu Qinghuan hesitated to approach and ask, "Big boss, is there anything your little brothers can help with?" So, she could only watch him leave with open eyes.

Jiang Xingye only felt the two burning gazes from behind almost igniting his back, but remembering she waved someone like Lin Yufei away, he felt vexed again.

She was his sister’s good friend, in other words, he had known her for ages, perhaps even raised her under his care since childhood.

Lost in thought, Jiang Xingye didn’t know Xu Qinghuan had a former fiancé.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxu was also preparing to go to the countryside.

The day Xu Qinghuan left for the countryside, he and Xu Manman were hugging and kissing on the street, got caught, and detained. Soon, Xu Manman confessed that they were dating.

But Jiang Chengxu didn’t acknowledge it; he wished to reconcile with Xu Qinghuan. The person he wanted to marry in this life was Xu Qinghuan.

He even thought about ensuring no one drugged Xu Qinghuan again, wanting her to have their child. That way, he wouldn’t need Xu Manman to bear him a child.

As for his second wife Lu Nianying, he presently hadn’t remembered her, and even if he did, their relationship would be courteous and bland.

No heartache for Xu Qinghuan, no unforgettable passion for Xu Manman, only the compromise and mundane hardship alongside Lu Nianying with age.

If they weren’t dating, hugging and kissing in public like that was being a hooligan.

Being a hooligan could mean labor reform at best or severe punishment at worst.

Not yet naked, their deeds hadn’t escalated to severe punishment, but labor reform was unavoidable.

Mother Jiang was nearly scared senseless; she bitterly hated Xu Family for their shameless conduct, with the elder sister breaking off the engagement one day and the younger sister throwing herself at him the next, stirring such a scandal.

But at this moment, she was too concerned for her son to manage her husband’s affairs outside, begging and pleading with him until he finally admitted they were dating.

Either way, he and Xu Qinghuan had already canceled the engagement.

Luckily, they canceled the engagement, otherwise, it would indeed be hooliganism.

Xu Manman finally awaited this day, anticipating Jiang Family’s proposal, and hoping to choose a wedding date soon, only to learn Father Jiang had been reported for misconduct and was about to be sent for labor reform.

And Jiang Chengxu’s job, originally having suspicious favoritism from Father Jiang, now faced accusations about Jiang Chengxu’s indecency, engaging with the sister when engaged to the elder sister, hugging and kissing in front of the factory was not their first time.

Mechanics factory found Jiang Chengxu’s scandalous behavior unacceptable and fired him.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang divorced; Father Jiang was sent to labor reform; Jiang Chengxu went to the countryside.

At this time, the educated youths office visited again, delivering Xu Family the ultimatum: Xu Hongtu and Xu Manman must soon go to the countryside.

The chain reaction caused by Xu Qinghuan’s broken engagement made Song Wanlin feel her daughter’s betrayal profoundly, fostering deep resentment against Xu Family, refraining from harming them was already decent, she no longer would help arrange jobs for Xu Hongtu and Xu Manman.

Both had no choice but to prepare to go to the countryside.

Xu Qinghuan didn’t pay attention to the situation of people in Shen City; to her, they were strangers.

Currently, she was lying on the postal counter, writing a letter to Lin Xiaolan, "Sister, everything’s great here. I’m living with Xinyu and a new friend Yu Xiaomin, renting a place together. There are mountains here offering abundant wild delicacies. Once familiar, I plan to hunt and gather, then send you some to try...

Give my regards to Uncle and Aunt, and Brother and Sister-in-law. Bean Sprout must have grown quite tall by now..."

After finishing, she wrote another for Zhou Xinyan.

When purchasing stamps, she found an old tacky scarf she’d bought somewhere in her past life, gifting it to the postal clerk, "Big sister, do you have any old stamp stock? I’m a stamp collector, would love to buy some older ones."
