After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 88, Episode 0090: We both got beaten up.

Secretary He's nephew was transferred to the farm due to his injury and became a team leader, but he was not in charge of the area where Leng Xingshu and his team worked.

Even Grandpa Leng didn't know where Leng Xingshu was being held before. There are several farms in Northeast China, so how would Secretary He know?
It was only after this matter was brought to Secretary He's attention that Secretary He investigated and discovered that Leng Xingshu was being held captive at the place where his nephew worked.

There's nothing we can do about saving lives. Even transferring Leng Xingshu to the area under Secretary He's nephew's jurisdiction wouldn't work, because Leng Xingshu is being given special 'care'.

However, since they are all on the farm, Secretary He's nephew can still take care of them a little.

It's impossible to live a comfortable life; suffering is inevitable. The only thing to say is that things will be a little better than before, and they will have time to lend a hand in emergencies.

These are things that children don't need to know.

Lin Yuexi sighed inwardly. It seemed she needed to recover quickly and make a trip to Jiuquan.

No one has ever managed to escape unscathed after bullying her.

Leng Xingran pushed the door open and entered. Noticing that Xiao Zhaoyang had clearly been crying, her brows immediately furrowed.

The child is probably missing his father again.

At this moment, Xiao Zhaoyang was already drowsy, and was being held by Lin Yuexi, leaning against her with her eyes drooping.

Leng Xingran didn't disturb them and quietly slipped out again.

After eating lunch in the kitchen with Ren Yanwen, they went to Lin Yuexi's room, but Xiao Zhaoyang was no longer there.

Leng Xingran asked, seemingly unsurprised, "Did Ren Yan take Yangyang to take a nap?"

Lin Yuexi nodded, took a plate of nuts from the cabinet and placed it on the kang table, "Tell me how Xu Zhichuan and the others are doing?"

Those two "hidden dragons and phoenixes" always manage to add a touch of humor to whatever happens to them, whether it's good or bad.

When his two brothers were mentioned, Leng Xingran blushed slightly, but he would never hesitate to choose between satisfying his sister's wicked tastes and embarrassing his brothers.

"When I was helping them move, I chatted with Liu Jie for a while. Liu Jie had already figured out that Wang Laidi had designs on Xu Zhichuan, and had even subtly reminded him several times."

Liu Jie has a really sharp tongue. He meant to give a reminder, but no matter how you listen to his words, they sound like insults.

“For example, once, Wang Laidi waited by the well for a long time. When Xu Zhichuan and Zhang Ze returned, Wang Laidi carried a bucket of water and deliberately passed by them. Then, he pretended to stumble and splashed the water on them.”

"Liu Jie could tell that Wang Laidi was doing it on purpose, trying to get involved with the two of them. Wang Laidi almost succeeded. The two of them were still a bit naive. When Wang Laidi offered to do their laundry, they didn't suspect anything."

At this point, Leng Xingran's face clearly showed her disdain, indicating that she was somewhat unwilling to acknowledge the two as brothers.

"Liu Jie told me that he originally didn't want to get involved, but seeing how stupid the two of them were, he felt that it would be a disgrace to men."

So they went out and laughed at Xu Zhichuan and his companion for not even being able to avoid water, and said things like they were useless scholars, which was quite manly of them.

Xu Zhichuan and Zhang Ze were both young and vigorous, and came from good families. No matter how friendly they appeared on the outside, they were inherently arrogant. How could they withstand such stimulation?

Unfortunately, neither of them could out-argue Liu Jie. They were so angry and couldn't win the argument, so they could only go back to their room to change their clothes and then wash them themselves to prove themselves and show their manliness.

This perfectly foiled Wang Laidi's plan.

"Another time, when Wang Laidi was carrying Xu Zhichuan to the bathhouse for the male educated youth while he was chopping firewood in the yard, Liu Jie saw this and scolded Xu Zhichuan again, saying that he was chopping firewood in the dark and that he had impure motives and wanted to take the opportunity to attract the attention of the female educated youth. This made Xu Zhichuan so angry that he threw down his axe and went back to the house."

Wang Laidi's plan failed again. But Xu Zhichuan and Zhang Ze were completely unaware of this. They still thought that Liu Jie was taking his anger out on them because he couldn't find Leng Xingran after she moved away.

If you can't out-argue someone or beat them in a fight, what can you do?

Just bear with it!
Little did they know that Liu Jie was simply sharp-tongued; his values ​​were probably more upright than those of Xu Zhichuan and Zhang Ze.

Lin Yuexi looked at him strangely, "Everyone says you and Liu Jie don't get along, but I think you admire him quite a bit."

Leng Xingran admitted with a smile, "He and I have been fighting since we were little. When we were young, we were always bickering. Either I would tell on him or he would tell on me. We both felt that we hated each other."

How could someone not hate someone who gets beaten by their parents so often?

When he was in fifth grade, on his way home one day, he passed an alley and heard the sound of a fight inside. Curious, he went in to take a look and saw several older students surrounding Liu Jie and beating him.

He didn't know where he got the courage, but he picked up a brick and rushed out while yelling.

Seeing that he had fallen silent, Lin Yuexi could more or less guess the result, and forced a smile as she asked, "...And the result?"

Leng Xingran rolled her eyes at her, "What else could happen? We both got beaten up."

"Pfft~"

Leng Xingran: "..."

Is she even my biological sister?
Under his mournful gaze, Lin Yuexi relived her past life's experiences before finally suppressing her laughter and making a gesture to seal her mouth.

I'm not laughing anymore, I really am not laughing anymore.

Please continue.

Leng Xingran was helpless, but this was her younger sister whom she had doted on for more than ten years. Could she just throw her away?

There's no other way but to continue spoiling them.

“From then on, we still didn’t get along, but no matter who needed help, the other would always help if they called out.”

There are many instances of people agreeing to fight each other to "avenge" someone, but there are also many instances of people actually starting a fight over a mere disagreement.

It's hard to define our relationship. We trust each other, but we don't get along and we can't stand each other.

This person goes first; talking too much about them will hurt your liver.

Leng Xingran continued talking about Xu Zhichuan and his group:
“Wang Laidi tried to get close to Xu Zhichuan several times. At first, Liu Jie thought that Wang Laidi was just trying to curry favor with Xu Zhichuan. With Liu Bingyan around, Xu Zhichuan’s identity was no secret in the educated youth settlement. Everyone knew that with his family background, his chances of returning to the city were greater than others.”

“Once, when Liu Jie went up the mountain to cook for the educated youth, it was very late when he returned to the educated youth settlement. He heard Liu Bingyan and Wang Laidi talking in a corner of the courtyard. It turned out that Liu Bingyan had instructed Wang Laidi to seduce Xu Zhichuan.”

Xu Zhichuan's letter to his father was very useful. When Xu's father returned home, he first ordered Xu's mother not to interfere in her son's affairs anymore, or he would divorce her. Then he also warned the Liu family.

Xu's mother was very tough on Xu Zhichuan, but she was very afraid of Xu's father. Well, no, how should I put it? She had that old-fashioned mindset. What she was afraid of wasn't Xu's father as a person, but rather that if Xu's father divorced her, her reputation would suffer.

In Xu's mother's mind, she felt that once a woman got divorced, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

The Liu family originally used their relationship with Xu's mother to curry favor with the Xu family. Marrying Liu's daughter to Xu's son was meant to strengthen the relationship between the two families, not to make the Xu family dislike them. Besides, Xu Zhichuan wasn't the only son in the Xu family.
