He Qiangxing walked out of the village, still planning how to distribute the three thousand yuan after the deed was done. But as soon as he reached the edge of the grove, someone covered his head with a piece of clothing.

He struggled desperately, but the man's hands were like iron clamps, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.

He Qiang finally got scared and stammered, "Who are you? What do you want?"

But no matter how much he struggled, the man remained silent, pulling him by the hand and leading him into the grove. Just as he was about to shout, the man forcefully dislocated his jaw.

"Uh... let... go... um!"

Seeing that he had finally stopped shouting, the man grabbed his hands behind his back, kicked him to the ground, and then rained down punches.

Before long, He Qiang was beaten black and blue, on the verge of death. His hand bones, which had just started to heal, dislocated again, causing him to faint from the pain. When he woke up again, it was pitch black all around him.

Educated Youth Home

Seeing that Lu Zechuan had not returned yet, Wen Li assumed that he had gone out to work again, so she went back to the house to cook rice.

Just as she was about to start cooking, she saw Lu Zechuan return looking travel-worn. When he came back, his expression was rather unpleasant, and Wen Li could vaguely smell blood on him, which immediately made her heart jump.

Are you injured?

Lu Zechuan checked himself and found a drop of blood on his pants. He was surprised that even this drop of blood could be smelled by her. Seeing the obvious worry in her eyes, he quickly explained.

"It's not my blood!"

Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief. "I've finished cooking. I'll start stir-frying the vegetables right away. Can you help me start the fire?"

"Okay! I'll go change my clothes and come right away!"

After the two finished eating, Wen Li took a hoe and went to the back door to weed. She had planted some vegetables, and now that the weeds were growing, she had to remove them.

Chen Yan and Qi Jun also arrived. Just as the four of them were chatting, they saw Tang Shi and Jiang Chen returning from the back mountain side by side.

Wen Li and Chen Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes both gleaming with the excitement of having stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

Just as Tang Shi was chattering away with Jiang Chen, she also saw Wen Li and the others. She silently took two steps away from Jiang Chen, but her blushing ears revealed her shyness.

She's still just a young girl; even with a bit of cunning, she can't completely hide her emotions.

Wen Li and Chen Yan quickly looked away, pretending to be busy. After the two walked away, Chen Yan dropped the sickle and secretly hid behind the door to watch.

"Jiang, thank you for helping me today, otherwise I would have had to spend the night in the mountains!"

Jiang Chen's usually icy expression softened slightly. "It's alright, we're all educated youth sent to the countryside; helping each other is only right!"

Tang Shizheng blushed deeply. "Okay, I'll head back now and wait for you to come over for dinner!"

"Okay, I'll wash my hands and be right there!"

After Chen Yan finished reading, she quietly whispered in Wen Li's ear.

Wen Li originally thought that all of Jiang Chen's admirers were pursuing him one-sidedly, but now it seems that's not entirely true!

Wen Li thought about it. In the six months that Jiang Chen had been in the countryside, it seemed that the families of those who pursued him were not very well-off, so he never gave them a friendly look.

But this Tang Shi is different. Her family is obviously well-off, and judging from Jiang Chen's attitude, it's clear he wants to seduce her.

So the reason why the original owner fell in love with Jiang Chen back then was not necessarily because of her one-sided pursuit. Perhaps Jiang Chen also gave her the illusion that he liked her too!

After all, the original owner's family background was the best in the entire educated youth compound, and Jiang Chen had no reason to let go of someone who could help him.

Wen Li silently complained in her heart that the original author seemed to be a pervert who liked to see people who were high and mighty fall into the dust, which was why he gave Wen Li such a character setting.

Wen Li really couldn't understand whether she had dug up the original author's ancestral grave, otherwise why would she have written her so tragically!

"There's going to be some excitement!"

Wen Li's first impression of Tang poetry was quite good, but after Shu Yun's outrageous actions that day, Wen Li felt that she should respect other people's fate!

As for Shu Yun, she's too easily swayed; we'll talk about her later!

The group cleared the weeds from the back plot of land, and Lu Zechuan fetched water to water the vegetables. The four of them worked until dark before returning to the house to wash up.

The next day, as soon as Wen Li started work, Aunt Zhang talked about He Qiang.

I heard that He Qiang was beaten up by someone and crawled back this morning covered in injuries, which almost scared Hu Xiaocao half to death.

"Look, we took him to see Old Wu, and then sent him to the county hospital. His hand is probably completely ruined!"

Wen Li thought of the bloody smell on Lu Zechuan when he came back yesterday and looked at him with suspicion.

Lu Zechuan, however, asked innocently, "What's wrong?"

Wen Li met his bewildered eyes and realized she might be overthinking things, so she shook her head.

"fine!"

Once Wen Li stopped looking at him, Lu Zechuan's lips curled up slightly, a triumphant smile in his eyes.

He Qiang was frequently injured, which everyone found strange. No one knew who started it, but the rumors became more and more mysterious. Some even suspected that there was something wrong with his family's ancestral graves, otherwise how could a person be so unlucky?

Of course, the one who was most angry was Jiang Yue'er. She originally wanted He Qiang to marry Wen Li, but he got injured again. This good-for-nothing is really useless.

As Wen Li and Lu Zechuan grew closer, she felt uneasy and anxious.

She is the destined heroine of this world, and she believes that as long as she takes action, Lu Zechuan, a mere passerby, will be easily captured.

So when Lu Zechuan went to the back mountain, she secretly followed him. Originally, she wasn't very interested in Lu Zechuan, since he wasn't her type.

But seeing him catch pheasants in the mountains, his agile figure instantly stirred her emotions. Lu Zechuan was tall and had long legs; she didn't know...

Jiang Yue'er had a bold idea: why couldn't she build a harem like other female protagonists?

She was the female lead, so the world should revolve around her, and the same goes for these men. As a result, her gaze toward Lu Zechuan became increasingly intense!

Lu Zechuan had long noticed that someone was following him, but he didn't know who the person was or what her purpose was, so he simply pretended to catch a pheasant.

He hadn't paid much attention to that glance, which was just a casual look, but it became increasingly audacious and made him feel uneasy. He turned his head and saw Jiang Yue'er standing not far away, looking at him with that sticky gaze.

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Yue'er, he felt a chill run down his spine, turned around, picked up the pheasant from the ground, and prepared to go down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue'er suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way, speaking in a high-pitched voice, "Lu Zhiqing, what a coincidence!"

Lu Zechuan's face darkened. "Comrade Jiang, you're blocking my way!"

Jiang Yue'er cursed Lu Zechuan inwardly for being a blockhead, but smiled sweetly, "Lu, are you going down the mountain? Perfect timing, I'm going down the mountain too, let's go together!"
