Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

Liu Neng immediately stuffed the money into his inner pocket, patting his chest and guaranteeing:

"Alright, leave this to me. You go back to the city and get back to work. If Wang Changgui dares to even step into the grocery store, I'll immediately go inside and keep an eye on him. I won't give them even the slightest chance to have a private chat, not even the slightest bit of shady business!"

"Then I'll leave it to you, Brother Neng! Call me anytime if anything happens!"

Seeing that Li Fu was about to leave, Liu Neng quickly stopped him:

"Hey buddy, is this a one-time payment or a monthly installment?"

When it comes to money, Liu Neng doesn't hesitate at all. Li Fu really wanted to take all the money back after hearing this. He had never seen such a person before!

After thinking about it, I held back and said:

"Well, even if it's for a month, check what day it is today, I'll pay you back today next month."

Liu Neng laughed so hard his eyes disappeared. He repeatedly assured Li Fu that he would go and watch over Wang Changgui every day from now on and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Li Fu nodded in satisfaction, finished explaining the situation, and then quickly turned around to catch the bus back to the city.

Liu Neng watched him walk away, touched the 300 yuan in his pocket, grinned from ear to ear, and muttered to himself contentedly:

"Hehe, I just got three hundred yuan for free! This job is too easy, it's like a pie falling from the sky!"

……

Lin Chen slept until he naturally woke up, not opening his eyes until the sun was high in the sky. After the house was renovated, it was spacious and quiet. The key was that there were basically no mosquitoes because of the screen windows, making it exceptionally comfortable to live in, more than a hundred times better than where he lived before.

He quickly washed up, his stomach growling with hunger. He thought about going to Big Foot Grocery Store to buy something to fill his stomach and also to ask Liu Yishui when they were going to the county, as they needed to start buying home appliances.

Lin Chen strolled leisurely to the entrance of the grocery store and was immediately stunned by the mess on the ground.

He quickly walked into the store and asked:

"What's going on? Is someone causing trouble?"

Xie Dajiao was sweeping up the rubbish on the ground when she heard Lin Chen's voice. She looked up, and the grievances in her heart instantly broke down, and her nose tingled.

"Xiao Chen, you've finally arrived! I've been feeling so frustrated."

Lin Chen felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this and quickly walked over to take the broom from her hand.

"What happened? Who bullied you? Did that bastard Li Fu come back?"

Xie Dajiao nodded, wiping away her tears as she told Lin Chen everything about Li Fu coming home, getting drunk and causing trouble, making unfounded accusations against her and Wang Changgui, and the argument between the two of them.

"Xiao Chen, it's not that I'm upset by his insults, it's that I'm upset by what he said about me and Wang Changgui! How could I possibly be interested in him? Look at him, he looks like a catfish demon! He caused all this trouble, and then he disappeared without a trace, a complete coward! I was just afraid you'd misunderstand..."

"What misunderstanding? Do you think I wouldn't trust you?"

Lin Chen's face grew increasingly grim. He slammed the broom to the ground, his temper flaring instantly.

"That bastard Li Fu! He's never home, never brings a penny home, leaves you with a complete mess, and when he comes back, he starts causing trouble without even asking what happened. I'm going to the station to catch him right now!"

Xie Dajiao quickly grabbed him tightly, waving her hands anxiously:

"Don't go! It's no use. He left a long time ago and took a bus into the city. It's better to avoid trouble. He won't be back anytime soon."

"Is that all? Just leaving?"

Lin Chen looked displeased, his tone indignant:

"You've made such a scene, the house is a complete mess, and you're just going to let him go so easily? That's too easy on him!"

Xie Dajiao let out a long sigh:

"What else can I do? I've put up with him for so many years, I've seen through his true nature. Once I've calmed down, I'm definitely divorcing him. I don't want to endure this miserable life for even a second longer!"

Seeing that there was no one else around, Lin Chen reached out and wiped away the tears on her face:

"Alright, stop being upset. It's not worth shedding tears for someone like him. Don't worry, if he ever dares to come back and cause trouble again, just call me immediately, and I'll take care of him. I promise I won't let you suffer!"

Looking at Lin Chen's appearance, Xie Dajiao felt a warmth in her heart and instantly felt much more at ease and secure.

While Xie Dajiao tidied up the house, Lin Chen also did some simple tidying up outside.

Liu Yishui's pickup truck slowly drove up to the store. The door opened, and Liu Yishui got out.

"Brother Chen! Auntie!"

Liu Yishui walked in quickly with a smile:

"Brother Chen, I've been looking for you for ages!"

Lin Chen said:

"Seriously, can't you even get this done? When are you going to bring the appliances I asked for back?"

Liu Yishui was stunned for a moment:

"What? You didn't tell me what to buy?"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that it was true. He had been so busy that he forgot, so he really couldn't blame Liu Yishui.

Liu Yishui waved his hand:

"By the way, Brother Chen, we're not in a rush for the appliances. I'll just pick them up from the county. Why don't you come with me for a bit?"

"Where are you going?"

"Here's what happened: Xiaomei's classmates came to visit. Quite a few people came, men and women, and they were making arrangements to have a picnic on the back hill."

"Xiaomei asked me to invite all the young people in the village to have some fun. You don't know, Xiaomei's classmates are all from the city, and they're all dressed so smartly. I'm worried I won't be able to keep things in order, so I wanted you to come and help me out!"

Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand in refusal:

"What's the point of making a scene? I'd better not go; I don't know any of them anyway."

"No, Brother Chen!"

Liu Yishui quickly pulled Lin Chen back:

"You're knowledgeable and articulate; you'll definitely get along with them. It'll be more fun with a group, so why don't you join in?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Dajiao immediately perked up and chimed in enthusiastically:

"Xiao Chen, why don't you go? You're just idling at home anyway. You and Xiao Mei can have a good chat during the picnic and strengthen your relationship!"

"What kind of relationship do we have? I'm not even thinking about being in a relationship..."

"Then let's just be friends. Your house is all renovated now, what are you going to do there all the time?"

Lin Chen thought about it and agreed. Seeing Liu Yishui's expectant look, he couldn't refuse and reluctantly nodded with a smile.

"Alright, I'll join in the fun then."

Liu Yishui was overjoyed and immediately said:

"Let's hurry up and go, everyone's waiting to gather at the entrance of the farm!"

Xie Dajiao smiled and gave him a push, her tone very enthusiastic:

"Go on, have fun!"

The dirt road at the village entrance was dusty, and Liu Yishui's pickup truck sputtered and sputtered. He stepped on the gas, turned the corner, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Xie Dajiao watched the car drive away, and just as she turned around to go back to the shop to clean up the mess, she suddenly caught a glimpse of movement at the base of the wall.

Wang Changgui was hunched over, pressed against the brick wall, his head peeking out with shifty eyes, looking cautiously at the entrance of the grocery store. He seemed both cowardly and guilty.

Xie Da's foot irritation flared instantly. He put his hands on his hips, raised his voice, and shouted:

"Wang Changgui, what are you standing there staring at? Look at you, you coward! If you've got the guts, come in openly and honestly. Stop sneaking around the door, peeking in like that. What kind of shady business are you up to?"

Caught red-handed, Wang Changgui's face instantly turned embarrassed.

He dared not hide it any longer, and slowly made his way to the shop entrance, peeking inside to see if Li Fu had really left.

"I was so scared, Big Foot! Li Fuzhen's really gone? Hopefully he wasn't lying in wait for me at the village entrance or against the wall!"
