In the following days, everyone could always see Jiang Yue'er and Xiao Liang together, with Qi Yang following behind them from time to time!

Seeing this complicated love triangle, Wen Li felt exhausted for Jiang Yue'er. She had to appease one person and then another, and in between, she also had to date Jiang Chen. Wen Li called her a master of time management!

The villagers were used to it, after all, Jiang Yue'er had been like this since she was a child, with so many boys following her around. With so many people around, there was nothing to worry about!

Wen Li had just finished work when she saw He Qiang out for a walk. Although his hand had been reattached, the fracture was too severe and the bone had grown crooked. He would never be able to use his right hand for the rest of his life, making him practically a cripple.

When Wen Li saw that he could still come out and roam around, her eyes darkened. Half of the original owner's suffering in her previous life was caused by He Qiang, so she couldn't let him live so freely.

He Qiang didn't know why, but he felt as if he was being watched by some wild beast. His back felt cold. He turned around and only saw Wen Li's departing figure.

He narrowed his eyes. He was now a cripple. Jiang Yue'er had ignored him ever since he was injured. Almost all of the family's money had been spent on the hospital. In addition, his reputation was bad, and now girls from the surrounding villages were unwilling to marry him.

He doesn't even look at the women who are willing to marry him; they're all unattractive, and their families probably can't even afford a few dollars as a dowry.

If I could marry Wen Li...

He Qiang thought about it more and more and felt that this plan was feasible. If he married Wen Li, he would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life. Besides, Wen Li was strong, rich and beautiful, and could also help take care of him and his family.

Once she gives birth, her father-in-law will definitely not abandon her. Maybe then their family can move to the city to live!

He Qiang thought more and more about Wen Li and felt that Jiang Yue'er was better. He knew that he was not good enough for her and only wanted to protect her silently. So he could only settle for second best!

As Jiang Yue'er was descending the mountain, she saw He Qiang staring blankly at Wen Li's back.

Jiang Yue'er's eyes lit up. She had almost forgotten that He Qiang was Wen Li's official partner!

If Wen Li marries He Qiang, then Wen Li will never escape her control. Wen Li's changes are too great, and she feels vaguely uneasy if she marries He Qiang...

Jiang Yue'er had an idea. She walked forward with a sad expression, "Brother Qiang!"

Hearing the familiar voice, He Qiang's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and saw Jiang Yue'er's familiar face.

"Moon, you..."

"Brother Qiang, are you alright?"

He Qiang, sensing Jiang Yue'er's concern, became so excited that he stammered, "Yue'er, I...I'm fine. How about you? Are you doing well?"

Jiang Yue'er pretended to turn her head away to wipe away her tears. "I'm sorry, I know you're blaming me. If it weren't for me, your hand... I... I won't appear in front of you again. I just came here to say sorry!"

He Qiang immediately chased after her, "Yue'er, I'm not blaming you, wait for me!"

Jiang Yue'er looked at He Qiang with delight and disbelief in her eyes, "Really? You really don't blame me?"

"Of course, this was just my bad luck, so please don't blame yourself, okay?"

Jiang Yue'er immediately stopped crying and smiled, "Brother Qiang, you're so kind!"

When He Qiang saw Jiang Yue'er's innocent smile, he was reminded of the time when they were childhood sweethearts, and his heart softened even more.

"Brother Qiang, I'm sorry. I should have paid for your medical expenses, but my family gave all our savings to Wen Zhiqing to rescue me from Wang Zhi, and we're still in debt. I've been going up the mountain every day to gather game to exchange for money, which is why I haven't dared to come see you!"

He Qiang had been a little resentful because Jiang Yue'er hadn't come to see him, but after Jiang Yue'er's explanation, all his resentment disappeared.

"What? Your family gave all your savings to Wen, the educated youth?"

Jiang Yue'er hurriedly made a gesture, signaling He Qiang to whisper, "Yes, I gave her three thousand yuan in total. You mustn't tell anyone else. She's my savior. I don't want her to be targeted. I only told you this because I consider you my own brother!"

He Qiang felt dizzy when he heard the number. How huge was that astronomical figure?

If he marries Wen Li, then the money will be his.

He can use that money to buy a job in the city and a house, then he'll be a city dweller!

Jiang Yue'er was satisfied when she saw the greed in He Qiang's eyes. She didn't believe He Qiang wouldn't be tempted by such a large sum of money!

"Don't worry, Yue'er, your savior is my savior too. I definitely won't tell anyone else!"

"Okay, Brother Qiang, Aunt Hu doesn't like me and doesn't want me to have any contact with you, so I'll head back now!"

He Qiang was now preoccupied with figuring out how to get Wen Li, so he waved his hand absentmindedly, not even knowing when Jiang Yue'er had left.

Jiang Yue'er had achieved her goal and no longer cared about He Qiang's attitude!

Wen Li was thinking about how to deal with He Qiang, but she didn't expect that He Qiang had also set his sights on her!

So the next day, shortly after she started work, He Qiang arrived.

"Wen, you must be tired from working. Here, have some sugar water to quench your thirst!"

Wen Li sensed He Qiang approaching and immediately took two steps back.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I brought my own water!"

"You brought plain water? What's so great about plain water? I specially prepared some sugar water for you. Try it and see if it's sweet enough. If it's not, I'll go back and add some sugar!"

He Qiang smiled gently and was about to hold the water to Wen Li's lips.

Those working nearby witnessed this scene, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

Wen Li frowned. "Comrade He, you can keep your sweet soup for yourself. I don't like sweet soup!"

He Qiang felt embarrassed when Wen Li rejected him repeatedly.

When Lu Zechuan saw Wen Li being harassed, he dropped his hoe and walked over. Before he could chase the people away, Er Laizi suddenly appeared out of nowhere, snatched the bowl from He Qiang's hand, and started gulping it down.

"Er Laizi, what are you doing?" He Qiang realized what was happening and saw that the sugar water had been drunk up.

After finishing his drink, Er Laizi smacked his lips and then handed the bowl back to He Qiang with a smile.

"Qiangzi, I tasted it for you, this water isn't sweet!"

"You..." He Qiang was so angry he wanted to punch someone, but his hand had just healed and he didn't dare to use force. He could only glare angrily at the person who had ruined his plans. "This is the sweet soup I gave to Wen Zhiqing. Who gave you permission to drink it?"

Erlaizi scratched his head. "Huh? But I saw that Wen Zhiqing didn't want to drink it, so I was just worried about wasting it."

"You, you, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Wen, the educated youth, is a cultured woman from the city. She wouldn't care about your little bit of sweet soup. Even if you want to pursue her, you should at least buy her some soda! With your stingy attitude, Wen wouldn't even look at you!" Er Laizi finished speaking and looked at Wen Li with a fawning expression. "Right, Wen, the educated youth!"
