Chapter 44 Chen Mo Behaved?
Several days have passed since the incident at the entrance of the family compound, but beneath the surface calm, undercurrents are surging.

Although everyone was afraid of Liang Yi and dared not say anything, they talked quite a bit in private.

There were all sorts of comments, but none of them were pleasant.

An Min followed Liang Yi to the camp canteen to get food, and the gazes cast by the surrounding military families always carried a hint of inexplicable curiosity.

This made Anmin feel uneasy.

"Ignore them."

Liang Yi stuffed the lunchbox containing the food into An Min's hand.

"Others can say whatever they want; let's just live our own lives."

His voice wasn't loud, but his gaze swept over the people around him, putting an invisible pressure on them.

"Ah."

Anmin responded softly and lowered her head to pick at the bok choy in her lunchbox.

She didn't pay much attention to these words; at most, she felt a little uncomfortable.

But in her heart, she was pondering the look in Chen Mo's eyes that day.

Chen Mo is no simple person, just as Liang Yi said.

Anmin was worried that he would not give up until he achieved his goal; that was the real stubbornness.

……

Meanwhile, far from the camp and near the barren mountains, lies a group of brick kilns that have been abandoned for many years.

Zheng Tianyou was like a wounded wild dog, curled up in the deepest part of a dilapidated cave that could barely shelter him from the wind and rain.

The excruciating pain from his broken leg tormented him day and night, and he leaned his simple wooden crutch against the cold cave wall.

Hunger and cold were ever-present companions.

His face and body were covered in a crust of grime, his beard was unkempt, and his eyes were sunken, yet a burning hatred raged within them.

“An Min… Liang Yi…”

He ground his back teeth, his voice filled with hatred.

"It's all your fault...you've ruined me!"

Zheng Tianyou initially only came for the inheritance in An Min's hands, but who would have thought that in the end, he would ruin himself?

If it weren't for his quick wit, he probably would have been eaten by now.

Therefore, at this moment, he blamed all his resentment on An Min and Liang Yi.

He paced anxiously back and forth in the narrow, dark space, like a trapped beast.

How could he, how could he live in such poverty and destitution?

He even became a wanted criminal.

No, he can't just rot and die here!

He needed help, someone who also harbored resentment towards Anmin and could get close to her!
Just then, someone suddenly jumped into his chaotic mind.

Chen Mo, the one who argued with An Min at the entrance of the family compound.

This Chen Mo seems quite cunning; perhaps he could become an ally.

The instinct for survival and the burning desire for revenge overwhelmed everything.

Despite the excruciating pain, Zheng Tianyou dragged his broken leg and began searching for Chen Mo.

He dared not approach the barracks and family quarters, and could only wander around the surrounding villages and agricultural technology stations like a ghost, inquiring about the situation.

Unfortunately, they were too far apart that day, and he couldn't hear Chen Mo and An Min's conversation clearly.

All that is known is that a fierce argument broke out between Chen Mo and An Min.

After several days, he still hadn't found the person, and his last bit of strength and food was almost gone. He was even more disheveled and emaciated.

Just when he was about to despair, the casual conversation of a fellow villager passing by drifted into his ears.

Chen Mo, Dongxiang Village.

Zheng Tianyou's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light!
He found it!

Just wait, he will definitely not let that little bitch An Min get away with it.

A few days later, in the evening, Chen Mo had just walked out of the agricultural technology station.

He was still thinking about Anmin's cold, businesslike attitude towards him during the day, and a surge of anger was burning within him.

Just as he turned onto a secluded path leading to his dormitory, a dark figure suddenly pounced out from behind a pile of firewood.

"Who?!"

Chen Mo was so frightened he almost screamed. "Shh! It's me!"

A hoarse, urgent voice rang out.

In the dim light of the day, Chen Mo was able to see the person in front of him clearly.

A lame man, leaning on rough wooden canes, covered in dirt and emitting a sour stench.

The face, covered in dirt and scars, still vaguely revealed traces of its past.

"I am Zheng Tianyou, An Lu's college classmate."

After saying this, Zheng Tianyou briefly introduced himself.

Chen Mo immediately realized what was happening.

"Zheng... Zheng Tianyou?!"

Chen Mo was so shocked that he took two steps back, as if he had seen a ghost: "You... how did you get here?"

According to Zheng Tianyou, how could he be in such a disheveled state?

“Run out!”

"Stop talking nonsense! Chen Mo, I know what you're thinking. You want to use An Min as an excuse to return to the city, right?"

Chen Mo's eyes flickered as he warily looked around: "What do you want with me?"

"cooperate!"

Zheng Tianyou took a step closer, his voice low and seductive, yet also filled with madness.

“Anmin has money, more money than you can imagine. With money, you can return to the city even without relying on her influence.”

These words struck Chen Mo like a thunderbolt.

If what Zheng Tianyou said is true, this is definitely a huge sum of money!
That would be enough for him to pull some strings and be transferred back to the city in style, finally escaping this damned life in the Northwest!

He doesn't like farming at all, nor does he like eating sandstorms every day.

"You...are you serious?"

Chen Mo's voice trembled slightly, greed overpowering fear.

"Absolutely true!"

A venomous glint flashed in Zheng Tianyou's eyes.

"Help me! Help me ruin An Min's reputation, make her unable to hold her head up in front of Liang Yi, and preferably make Liang Yi despise her! Then, the money in her hands will be ownerless!"

“I know where her money is, take it! Take it all! Enough for you to go back to the city and live a good life! I just want them to be disgraced and suffer unbearable pain!”

The immense temptation and the resentment that had been building up in his heart overwhelmed Chen Mo in an instant.

Returning to the city, he seemed to see its bright lights, clean streets, and respectable jobs...

An Min and Liang Yi deserve to pay the price!
"it is good!"

Chen Mo gritted his teeth, a mad flame igniting in his eyes: "I'll cooperate with you! Tell me, how?"

Two men with ulterior motives quickly formed a dirty alliance on a dimly lit path.

In the days that followed, An Min keenly sensed that Chen Mo seemed to have become much more "well-behaved".

When they met at the agricultural technology station, he no longer tried to approach and talk to her, but just nodded from a distance, his eyes darting away, looking as if he had been terrified by Liang Yi.

Although Anmin remained vigilant, her work-related troubles seemed to have decreased considerably.

That evening, Liang Yi returned home on time, a rare occurrence, carrying a small paper bag that emitted a sweet fragrance.

"I'm home?"

"Ah."

Liang Yi handed her the paper package with a smile on his face: "I passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that they had roasted chestnuts, fresh out of the oven, so I bought some for you."

The paper package was still warm. Anmin took it, and the sweet aroma filled her nose, the warmth spreading from her palm to her heart.

She peeled one open, and the golden chestnut kernel was steaming hot. She put it in her mouth, and it was sweet and sticky.

"good to eat."

Anmin's eyes crinkled with joy.

Liang Yi also sat down, picked up the half-mended garment she had been working on, and examined the stitches.

Anmin's skills are much better than before.

"It's all about craftsmanship."

There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Regarding the bug about Minmin sewing clothes, I've fixed it. It's now set up so that her sewing skills aren't very good; in the previous scene, she had someone else do it, but she has a good sense of aesthetics. Thank you all for the corrections!
