Country Love: Xie Dajiao, 37, is pregnant!

Zhao Si rubbed his rough hands together and said politely:

"Big Foot, I need your help with something. Could you find a girl for my Yutian when you have some free time? She doesn't need to be too picky, just honest, reliable, and someone we can settle down with. We're not picky."

When Xie Dajiao heard that this was her old profession, introducing it to Yutian would be a piece of cake, so she readily agreed:

"Fourth Brother, I've got it in mind. I'll let you know as soon as I find someone suitable. Give me two days so I can make a few calls and ask around. I have several good girls in my contacts, so I'll help Yutian choose one."

"Alright, alright, then I'll thank Aunt Big Feet on behalf of my Yutian!"

"Sure, sure, go back and wait for news!"

After Zhao Si returned, the news spread throughout the village in less than half a day, and it reached Liu Neng's ears precisely.

Liu Ying, who was already feeling wronged, burst into tears as soon as she heard that Yutian wanted to find another partner. She sobbed uncontrollably.

Liu Yingniang was furious and pointed at Liu Neng's nose, giving him a thorough scolding:

"This is all your doing! You've been acting all high and mighty, trying to bully people all day, and now look what's happened! You've completely enraged Yutian, and now he's going on blind dates! Let me tell you, Liu Neng, if Yingzi can't get married because of you, I'll never forgive you!"

Liu Neng panicked completely. He paced around anxiously at home, stamping his feet in frustration, and his hair was practically growing out of his head from worry.

After thinking it over and over, he had no other choice, so he gritted his teeth, grabbed the money, and rushed to the grocery store.

As soon as he entered, he didn't stand on ceremony. He grabbed Xie Dajiao's arm and hurriedly stuffed red bills into her hand, his face full of anxiety.

"Big...Big...Big Foot, I'm begging you, please don't do this marriage proposal to Yutian properly. Try to make it fall through! Take this money, I'm begging you!"

Xie Dajiao's face immediately darkened. She shoved the money back angrily and said:

"Liu Neng, what do you mean? What kind of talk is this! I act as a matchmaker to do good deeds and act with a clear conscience. How could I take money to deliberately ruin someone's marriage? You're just ruthlessly damaging my reputation! I won't do such a despicable thing!"

After saying that, she turned around and tried to walk into the house, too lazy to waste words with Liu Neng who was being unreasonable.

Liu Neng became completely desperate and clung to the big leg's arm relentlessly, refusing to let go.

"No...no, Big Foot! Let's talk this over. Can't we just do this once? What will happen to my Liu Ying if Zhao Yutian gets married?!"

The two were pulling and tugging at the counter, making quite a commotion, which Wang Yun, who was resting in the inner room, heard clearly.

Wang Yun immediately stood up. How dare they bully my sister? Without saying a word, she strode out.

She had a fiery temper and great strength, and she didn't tolerate Liu Neng at all. She raised her foot, aimed at Liu Neng's buttocks, and kicked him solidly. She was wearing large sandals with a toe that was a few centimeters long, and the kick landed squarely on the area below his tailbone.

"Awooo—!"

A piercing scream echoed through the convenience store. Liu Neng jumped up and down in pain, clutching his anus.

"Oh ho, you dare to dance with me?!"

Wang Yun was furious. Before he could recover from the excruciating pain, he punched Liu Neng in the shoulder with all his might, sending Liu Neng spinning twice on the spot.

Wang Yun took two steps back, then sprinted forward and pushed Liu Neng. Liu Neng was already unsteady, and now he completely lost his balance. Not to mention falling backward, he flew straight out of the grocery store's threshold.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Liu Neng landed hard on the dirt road outside the door, lying on his back in the air, looking extremely disheveled. One of his shoes flew off and rolled far away into the ditch by the roadside.

The fall was so hard that he grimaced and groaned in pain from both sides, and tears almost welled up in his eyes.

But what he feared most wasn't pain, it was losing face!

He was afraid that passing villagers would see it and it would reach Zhao Si's ears, making him a laughingstock in the whole village.

He didn't dare lie down for long. He scrambled to his feet, one hand covering his bottom, and ran to pick up his shoes. He didn't even bother to put them on. He limped home with the shoes in his hand, not daring to look back.

Xie Dajiao stood at the door, completely dumbfounded, before finally bursting into laughter after a long while. She grabbed Wang Yun's hand, both surprised and delighted.

"Oh my god, Wang Yun, you're amazing! Don't leave! Stay with me from now on. With you here, who would dare to cause trouble here!"

Wang Yun dusted off his hands and laughed heartily:

"Absolutely! From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just say the word, and I'll be there whenever you call!"

……

Lin Chen had no idea what was happening outside. Xie Xiaomei returned in the afternoon, packing her small bag, planning to go back to the county town, firstly to buy some supplies for the breeding farm, and secondly to visit her parents, as it had been quite a while since she had been back.

Just as she finished getting ready to leave, Lin Chen called her back and casually took a bank card from the drawer and handed it to her.

"Xiaomei, don't go back empty-handed. Take the card and withdraw some money to buy your parents some things. Don't be afraid to spend money, and make sure it's good. Just say that I bought it for them. My situation is special right now, or I'll go in person."

Xie Xiaomei was deeply moved. Lin Chen's actions showed that he cared about her. She pushed the bank card back and said:

"Brother Chen, I understand your filial piety, and my parents understand it too. My parents aren't the kind of people who make a fuss. They love filial people the most. I don't need to buy them anything. Besides, they'll know as soon as I drive back."

Lin Chen still slipped the bank card into Xiao Mei's hand:

"Listen to me, there's something else. You have to buy the gift, and there's another thing. Since you're going to town, could you buy me two computers?"

"One full-spec computer for my own use, and another entry-level brand-name computer will suffice. After you buy them, I'll deliver them to Xiaomeng. Her tofu shop has just expanded, and she has a ton of orders and accounts. Using a computer will save her time and effort, and she'll definitely find it useful. Besides, this is the future trend."

Xie Xiaomei, holding the bank card, jokingly said with a smile:

"Okay, I've got it all. You really care about Xiao Meng, huh? You even set up a computer for accounting in your tofu shop. How thoughtful of you!"

"This is the future trend, you should understand, I see you using a laptop all day long."

Xie Xiaomei was just joking; she wasn't jealous at all. Lin Chen had even given her a car, so giving Wang Xiaomeng a computer was nothing. Besides, she had already figured it out. If Xiaomeng really could come into the family, she would be the older sister, and the marriage certificate would even be in her name. The two of them living together would actually be more lively.

Lin Chen explained the model number, then sat on the sofa and said:

"There's another important thing. I need to go to the China Netcom branch in Songshan Town to get our home phone and broadband services done at the same time."

"I inquired beforehand and found out that our village will be able to install broadband this year. We don't need to run a separate network cable; we can just use the existing telephone line in the village. There are only a few households in the whole town that have it installed, and I am the only one in Xiangyashantou."

"I'll just get a 1M annual plan. The speed is enough for my needs. I can browse the internet, search for information, chat on QQ, and look at web pages without any problems. The broadband and landline are bundled together, and I'll pay the monthly fee as usual. I can make phone calls without interrupting my internet access. There won't be any conflict between the two. The initial installation fee is 100 yuan. I don't know how much the annual plan will cost. I'll ask about it later."

Xie Xiaomei thought for a moment and said:

"And that broadband modem, don't buy it at the business hall, they rip people off, it's really expensive. I'll pick one out at the computer mall in the county town, it's good quality, the signal is stable, and it's cost-effective. You can just wait at home, the town's lineman will come to your door to run the cables and debug it in a couple of days, and you'll have internet access in an hour."

"Okay, then just buy it back."

Xie Xiaomei nodded repeatedly and said with a smile:

"You're so trendy! Apart from the primary school, there aren't many computers in the whole village. We've installed internet access right away. Everyone's sure to come and watch."

Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand:

"The novelty will only last for a while. In the future, it will become a common sight in every household, just like on TV. Drive slowly on the road, don't rush, and be careful."

"Okay!" Xie Xiaomei said, kissed Lin Chen on the cheek, and then drove away.

Xie Xiaomei went to the city to work and only spent one day with her parents. After taking care of everything, she brought the two computers back to the village, including the host, monitor, keyboard and mouse.

She couldn't bear to be away from Lin Chen for too long; they were deeply in love right now.

Lin Chen personally delivered it, carefully carrying it to Wang Xiaomeng's tofu shop. He meticulously moved the machine inside, set up the table, and placed the computer on Wang Xiaomeng's desk. He arranged the equipment neatly and connected the cables.

When Wang Xiaomeng returned, she saw the brand-new computer on the table and was immediately stunned. Her eyes widened, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

After a while, she hurriedly stepped forward, her tone hesitant and embarrassed:

"Brother Chen, this is... a gift for me? This is far too precious! I have no need for such a nice thing. Please take it back. I really can't accept it."

Lin Chen casually said:

"What's there to be ashamed of? Your workshop is expanding production, and you'll need computers sooner or later. For example, you can use computers to keep clear accounts. You should learn how to use them; there are many benefits."

"Once the broadband is installed in a couple of days, you'll be able to go online to research new technologies for soy products, and even contact customers in other places to sell your tofu in the city or even the province. It'll be very useful; consider it as adding a helper to your workshop."

Wang Xiaomeng gently touched the smooth casing of the monitor, feeling both warm and flustered, and asked softly:

"This must have cost a lot of money..."

In all her life, apart from her family, no one had ever thought of her so much or paved the way for her so sincerely. This kindness was so profound that it made her feel incredibly at ease.

Lin Chen smiled casually, not taking it seriously at all:

"It's not much money, don't worry about it. Consider it an investment in your tofu shop in advance. If your business grows and prospers, you can't charge me for anything you eat!"

Just then, Wang Laoqi returned from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he was stunned to see the brand-new computer.
