Quick Transmigration: What's Wrong with the Yandere Male Lead? It's So Good!
Chapter 62: The "Little Landlord" and His Wife Go to the City
Jiang Rangrang smiled, her eyes crinkling, revealing a faint smile: "Thank you."
She stopped after taking two steps and turned around:
"If someone says something unpleasant to you, you should say something even more unpleasant back. Life is short, so you should live happily for a while to make it worthwhile."
The boy's dark eyes were fixed on her, his thin lips parted slightly, and he responded in a hoarse voice with a single word: "Okay."
Two young men, ignored and openly mocked by Jiang Rangrang, stood there, their faces alternating between pale and flushed.
The two exchanged an awkward glance, reached an agreement, and slunk away.
Jiang Rangrang didn't linger. Following the direction the male protagonist pointed, she quickly found Captain Zhang Laogen at the place where the brick kiln was piled with blue bricks.
"Captain, I have a question for you."
Zhang Laogen, a dark-skinned, sturdy middle-aged man, was inspecting the quality of bricks when he heard the sound. He put down the bricks and asked in confusion:
"Are you a new educated youth? Did you need something?"
"Yes, I am Jiang Rangrang, a newly arrived educated youth."
Jiang Rangrang greeted them politely and then directly stated his purpose:
"I would like to apply to you for a plot of land for building a small brick house."
I'll only be using the house temporarily. If I return to the city in the future, the house will be left to the village free of charge. I plan to buy bricks from the brick kiln in the village, and I'll pay for everything myself.
Zhang Laogen was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, looked her up and down, and frowned slightly.
"Young lady, don't blame me for being blunt, but the team isn't trying to take advantage of you."
But it's not safe for you to live alone like that. In the educated youth settlement, everyone lives together, so you can look out for each other.
"Captain, so please approve the land for me near the brigade headquarters, or near the educated youth settlement, where there are many people coming and going, so there will be no danger."
Jiang Rangrang had already prepared all her lines, but she was still bragging because she didn't have the money of this era.
She never imagined that she would not only come to this era one day, but also go to the black market to exchange money.
That's pretty exciting!
After thinking about it for a moment, Zhang Laogen felt that it made sense and that it would be beneficial to the village in every way.
He was offered a brick house for free, and it was even near the brigade headquarters. He immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright, since you've thought it through, I agree to it. As for the land and bricks, I'll come see you tomorrow."
"OK!"
The discussion went smoothly. After Jiang Rangrang thanked him, he turned around and returned the way he came.
Passing by the same large weeping willow again, the male protagonist remained seated, looking down at the books on the table.
Jiang Rangrang didn't know why, but she could tell that he was exuding a pitiful and lonely aura.
Jiang Rangrang stopped in her tracks: "What's your name? My name is Jiang Rangrang."
The boy looked up again at her voice and met her gaze: "My name is Shen You."
"I understand, Shen You~ See you later!"
Jiang Rangrang smiled brightly, turned around and went back to the educated youth settlement, feeling very happy.
Although they look alike, their styles are completely different.
This time, the male lead exudes a puppy-like aura, looking like he's easy to bully! She likes it~
Shen You nodded slightly, his lips moved, and he said softly, "See you later..."
But the sound was so faint that it was mixed in with the sound of the wind blowing through the willow branches, and Jiang Rangrang didn't hear it at all.
Shen You sat there, but no longer looked down at the account book. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his dark eyes fixed on the slender figure that was gradually disappearing into the distance.
The previous cold and calm demeanor faded, and a dark light surged in his eyes, carrying a hint of aggression and a sense of determination.
He just has a cute face; he's not some introverted, timid, and easily bullied person at all.
As the sun sets, the sky is painted a beautiful orange-red, and the scorching heat of the day finally dissipates somewhat.
Shen You tidied up the account books and paper on the table, and put the pencils and notebooks into the coarse cloth bag one by one. His movements were slow but his things were placed very neatly.
The workers at the kiln had mostly left, and the world had quieted down, with only the soft rustling of the wind through the willow branches remaining.
He shouldered his cloth bag and walked along the path deeper into the village.
Meanwhile, the scene of Jiang Rangrang that had just appeared was replaying in his mind over and over again.
She was vibrant and lovely; her appearance was like a pebble thrown into his stagnant life, and the stagnant water rippled outwards, unable to calm down for a long time.
Jiang Rangrang… He silently repeated this name in his heart, his lips moving almost imperceptibly.
As he walked along, many villagers returning home saw him but pretended not to see him, or whispered among themselves. In any case, no one paid any attention to him; he was like an invisible person in this village.
Most people would have become depressed long ago, but Shen You was already used to it, because in his mind these people were no different from the trees by the roadside or the clods of dirt in the ground.
In the most secluded corner at the end of the village, there is a lonely little courtyard, which is the remaining ancestral home of the Shen family.
Most of the once grand mansions have been demolished and leveled, leaving only a small courtyard house with a skylight.
Although the blue brick walls are somewhat mottled, they are kept neat and tidy.
His grandfather and many other family members died here. His father used supernatural tricks to save the house, allowing him and his father to continue living here.
He later increased the stakes, and from then on, it became a haunted house that everyone feared. No one dared to set foot in the yard anymore, and no one dared to pass by.
Especially those who are about the same age as his grandfather, they know how wronged and miserable the people who died here were.
Pushing open the wooden door, Shen You locked the latch behind him and entered the main room.
The room was simply and oldly furnished, but spotlessly clean. He placed the cloth bag on the table, poured himself a glass of cold water, and unconsciously stared blankly out the window.
The scenes from the daytime kept replaying in my mind:
She stood amidst the dust of the brick kiln, her eyes crinkling with a smile, earnestly advising him that he didn't need to keep enduring everything.
The open and kind look in her eyes when she looked at him was something he had only ever felt from his deceased family members.
A restless feeling surged within him, but Shen You knew he couldn't act rashly.
He lowered his eyes slightly, squeezed them shut, and his long eyelashes concealed the intense emotions in his eyes.
No rush, take your time.
Just take it one step at a time.
I will always make this person completely belong to me.
Having made up his mind, he turned around and began preparing dinner, though a smile remained on his lips the entire time…
