Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

Xiangxiu caught a glimpse of a car parked by the roadside and Lin Chen leaning against it with a calm expression, and her heart instantly raced.

What's Lin Chen doing here?! He was her first choice!

Afraid that Lin Chen would see her like this, she panicked and instinctively pushed Xie Yongqiang next to her.

Xie Yongqiang's legs were already weak and he couldn't stand steadily. With such a sudden push, and the person next to him not expecting Xiangxiu to let go, Xie Yongqiang couldn't maintain his balance and fell straight forward.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Right in front of him was a pile of sheep droppings, each one round and black, densely packed on the road like Maltesers.

Xie Yongqiang fell flat on his face, burying his entire face in a pile of sheep dung.

The air fell completely silent in an instant.

Lin Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Liu Neng, who happened to be passing by and on his way to the grocery store, bumped into the place. He had originally wanted to buy a bottle of wine for his future son-in-law, Zhao Yutian, who had been working hard in the fields for him recently.

Upon seeing Xie Yongqiang eating sheep droppings, he widened his eyes, clutched his stomach, and burst into laughter. He took two steps forward, pointed at Xie Yongqiang on the ground, and kept talking non-stop:

"Oh my god! Isn't that Yongqiang? What are you doing? What happened? Why did you just walk straight into a pile of dung? How can you bite into that stuff?!"

Xiangxiu panicked on the spot, forgetting her embarrassment, and quickly stepped forward to help him up:

"Yongqiang! Are you alright? Get up!"

Xie Yongqiang groggily lifted his head from the pile of dung, his entire face covered in sheep droppings, with several more stuck to his hair, looking extremely disheveled.

He dazedly raised his hand to wipe his face, and unconsciously smacked his lips twice. Too drunk to distinguish tastes, he mumbled incoherently:

"What is this...? This chocolate tastes awful..."

"Hahaha……"

This remark made the onlookers laugh so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

"Chocolate? Good heavens! This is sheep dung! Not chocolate!"

"Xie Yongqiang, you're truly the first person in Ivory Mountain to do this! A college student who specializes in eating sheep dung—you're so talented!"

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Xiangxiu stood to the side, looking at Xie Yongqiang, whose face was covered in excrement and who was delirious. She felt both embarrassed and disgusted, caught in a dilemma, at a loss for what to do.

Wang Xiaomeng, who had been holding back her emotions, could no longer contain herself. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her long-suppressed sobs finally burst forth.

Lin Chen stopped smiling, walked over, opened the car door, and gently patted her back. He didn't say anything to comfort her, but simply stayed with her as she vented her emotions.

Xie Yongqiang sobered up a bit, looked down and saw that he was covered in filth. Hearing the laughter of the people around him, his face instantly turned liver-colored. Enraged, he turned and roared at Wang Xiangxiu:

"Xiangxiu! Why did you push me for no reason!"

Xiangxiu, who had been holding back her anger, immediately retorted:

"Who told you to drink so much! And you were clinging to me so tightly, who else should I push if not you!"

"So what if I'm drunk? I'm a college student! What right do you have to push me!"

Lin Chen, standing to the side, spoke calmly upon hearing this:

"A college student? Does being a college student mean you can just lean on girls like that? Does being a college student mean you can fall into a pile of dung and eat sheep dung like chocolate? In my opinion, you've wasted your college education. You have absolutely no sense of propriety or responsibility."

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Xie Yongqiang instantly lost all his arrogance and didn't dare to talk back. When they were kids, Lin Chen was the big brother of their gang, and he had been beaten up by Lin Chen many times. He could only glare at Wang Xiangxiu, then cover his face, lower his head in a sorry state, and stagger home.

Liu Neng was still watching the commotion from behind, shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Yongqiang, don't go! Have a couple more bites of chocolate! Hahaha!"

Xiangxiu looked at Lin Chen, her eyes filled with grievance and embarrassment, and walked over to him to explain in a low voice:

"Brother Lin Chen, it's not what you think. He just drank too much. I was just trying to be kind and take him home."

Lin Chen smiled calmly and said:

"Xiangxiu, what are you explaining to me? This is perfectly normal, it's a matter of mutual consent."

After saying that, he didn't linger. He turned to look at Wang Xiaomeng, who was still crying, and spoke softly:

"Don't cry, I'll take you home."

Wang Xiaomeng silently wiped away her tears, and the car slowly drove away from where it stood, passing by Xiangxiu, who looked embarrassed.

Xiangxiu watched the car drive away, feeling a mix of bitterness and unease. She felt terrible; she should have been the one sitting in that car!

Liu Neng stood still, still laughing, muttering to himself as he walked away:

"Let...let Xie Guangkun keep acting tough. Huh? What...what was I supposed to do? Never mind, let's go home."

……

The car was parked in front of Wang Laoqi's house. Inside, it was quiet except for Wang Xiaomeng's suppressed sobs.

Lin Chen pulled out a piece of paper and handed it over:

"Alright, wipe your tears. It's not worth being sad over someone like that."

Wang Xiaomeng took the tissue and wiped away her tears, her voice choked with emotion:

"Yesterday I thought it was just his family looking down on me, and that he still cared about me. But then he turned around and got all entangled with Xiangxiu. I just can't accept it."

That's just his nature.

Lin Chen bluntly pointed it out: he knew everyone who had played with him since childhood.

"He is cowardly, indecisive, and obsessed with saving face. Even if Xiangxiu doesn't come today, someone else will in the future. If you stay with him, you will suffer sooner or later."

"I understand, but after being together for so many years, it still hurts."

Wang Xiaomeng kept her head down, her eyes still red.

"A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one."

Lin Chen looked at her and earnestly offered his advice:

"It's good to see things clearly as soon as possible; it's better than regretting it day after day after marrying into the family."

As I said before, a woman's life is better spent relying on herself than on anyone else. Focus on building your business, making a name for yourself. If you're good enough, you don't need to depend on anyone, and you certainly don't need to hang yourself on a crooked tree.

These insightful words awakened Wang Xiaomeng.

She took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and Lin Chen handed her a piece of paper.

Wang Xiaomeng's initially confused and weak eyes gradually became firm and clear:

"You're right, Brother Lin Chen. From now on, I will never think about Xie Yongqiang again. I'll cut ties with him completely. I'll focus on making tofu, making it bigger and stronger. I'm determined to achieve something and let everyone see, especially Xie Yongqiang and Xie Guangkun, regret it."

"This is the Wang Xiaomeng I know."

Lin Chen looked at her as she cheered up and gave her an approving smile.

As the two were talking, Wang Laoqi came out of the yard with his farm tools. He immediately noticed his daughter's red eyes and went over to ask her with heartache:

"Xiao Meng, why are your eyes red? Did someone bully you?"

Wang Xiaomeng didn't want her father to worry, so she quickly shook her head to cover it up:

"Dad, it's nothing. Brother Lin Chen just took me for a drive, and it was windy on the way, so some sand got into my eyes."

Without thinking much, Wang Laoqi turned and looked at Lin Chen with enthusiasm:

"Xiao Chen, have you eaten the food I brought you? If not, come inside and have a bite."

"Thank you, Uncle Qi. I've finished eating. I'll bring the lunchbox back to you tomorrow. I just got back and still need to tidy up the house. I'll head back now."

"Okay, then come visit us often when you have time."

Lin Chen nodded goodbye, drove away, and took Wang Xiaomeng back to his home. He had been so excited that he had driven her home and forgotten that her car was still in his yard, so he had to take her back.
