Marry a rough man in exchange for marriage, cannon fodder educated youth go to the countryside to wi

"Third brother," Zhao Jisheng was the first to notice Xie Zhuo's abnormality and took a small step forward, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Xie Zhuo closed his eyes, and after a long time, the sudden pricking feeling disappeared completely.

Very strange.

Just before this, although he remembered some things from his previous life, such as someone falsely accusing him of stealing public grain and he was arrested and imprisoned on a farm, they were all very vague.

It’s not that it’s unclear, it’s just like only a short sentence floated through my mind.

Unlike just now, he could even recall the expressions of Sun Guoan and Chen Guizhen at that time.

He glanced across their faces.

Just a few hours ago, he thought that the incident of stealing public grain was a fabrication in order to force him to break off the engagement.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a treacherous scheme by Sun Guoan and his gang to kill two birds with one stone after stealing public grain.

What a vicious couple!

But this matter...how did Xu Yan know about it?

On the other side, Song Guangming had already called a large group of people to go and take a look at the commune's granary.

"It must be you! You stole it and framed me!"

Chen Guizhen suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, and then tried to pull Song Guangming's arm, "Song Guangming, don't follow this little bitch and wrongly accuse me!"

Not to mention Song Guangming, other people in the village also believed Xu Yan's words after seeing Chen Guizhen's current condition.

If you really didn't do anything, why are you reacting so strongly?

Did the young educated youth Xu steal public grain?

If she had been able to steal public grain, she wouldn't have almost drowned in the river due to malnutrition and hypoglycemia.

On the contrary, the Sun family, in this era when everyone has little to eat and is skinny, everyone in their family looks whiter and plumper than others.

Maybe he steals every year.

Everyone pretended not to hear what Chen Guizhen said. Their expressions and eyes were full of disgust as they looked at her. How dare she steal public grain? Was she trying to kill herself?

Chen Guizhen was so panicked that her legs went limp.

Sun Guoan was not that flustered.

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes.

Of course she knew that Sun Guoan himself did not steal the things, but Chen Guizhen allowed her brothers from her natal family to steal the things.

Chen Guizhen's parents' home lives in a village that is much poorer than Qingshan Brigade. She has five brothers. Although each of the brothers is skinny, they are all very fertile, and the house is almost full of children.

In that era, with so many children, it was natural that they could not get enough to eat. There were two other children in their family who starved to death after they were born because the adults had no milk.

Chen Guizhen felt upset for several days after she found out.

Although she had taken many things from her parents' home since she married Sun Guoan, her parents' home was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled no matter how much she put in.

Later, one time, Chen Guizhen's youngest brother came to her house to beg for money. When Chen Guizhen went out to pack his things, he found the key to the Qingshan Brigade Commune's granary hanging on the wall.

That night, Chen Guizhen's brother took the key and went to the Qingshan Brigade Commune's granary and stole half a bag of grain.

Later, he would come to Chen Guizhen's house every few months.

Every time she did so, she would say that her nephew had nothing to eat and was almost starving to death, so she came to see if there were any children in her house who could eat. Then every night when she went home, she would always stop by the granary.

Later, he was discovered by Chen Guizhen when he sneaked back to deliver the key.

Although Chen Guizhen was angry, she could only secretly approve of his behavior when she thought of her nephews who were starving to death.

He was also told not to take more.

But she didn't think about it. Even if she only took away half a bag each time, one bag a month would be gone.

As for Sun Guoan, he only found out about it two days ago.

At that time, the city had just notified everyone to attend a meeting and study. When he was riding his bike almost to the village entrance, he remembered that he had left his pen at home. When he went back to get it, he saw his brother-in-law dangling a key in his hand and carrying half a bag of grain on his shoulder.

Sun Guoan was almost angry to death at that time.

He grabbed the carrying pole at the door and started beating his brother-in-law severely.

Chen Guizhen grabbed his arm and knelt on the ground begging him to let her brother go.

Sun Guoan wanted to take action again, but thinking that the neighbors might hear him, he suppressed his anger. As a result, when he went to the granary, he almost beat Chen Guizhen again.

Then, Chen Guizhen took Sun Jiarou to her mother's home for a few days.

When she returned home, Sun Guoan had just finished a meeting and she didn't have to go to the city anymore. Sun Guoan also told her that he had already thought of a way to solve the food problem and asked her not to reveal her identity in public.

Otherwise, you will be in big trouble.

Chen Guizhen thought that as long as she didn't say anything, this matter would be solved by their old Sun sooner or later. Unexpectedly...

I didn't expect that today, that little bitch Xu Yan would say it directly in front of everyone.

She really wanted to go up and tear the mouth of this female educated youth.

Realizing someone was looking at her, Xu Yan followed her instinct and looked over, and saw Chen Guizhen's hateful expression. She curled the corner of her mouth at Chen Guizhen.

Chen Guizhen almost fainted from anger.

The villagers rushed to the commune granary, taking Chen Guizhen and Sun Guoan with them when they left.

After just a few minutes, Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo were the only ones left not far from the entrance of the educated youth center.

The silence around was a bit uncomfortable.

Xie Zhuo stood there with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Xu Yan wanted to say something.

"you……"

"you……"

The two of them spoke at the same time.

"You speak first," Xu Yan said.

After hearing her say this, Xie Zhuo did not speak immediately. He stared at Xu Yan for a few seconds.

This was the second time he had looked at her so closely.

Compared with the girls in the village, the female educated youth in the city are indeed different. First of all, their skin is much better than that of the girls who often work in the fields, and it is so white that it seems to be reflecting light.

The eyes are big too.

The eyelashes are also... quite long.

Realizing what he was looking at, Xie Zhuo was startled and looked away without making a sound. After a while, he turned back and stared into Xu Yan's eyes, "Why?"

"What?" Xu Yan didn't notice his little movements, nor did he quite understand what he said.

"Why did you suddenly say you wanted to marry me in front of so many people?" Xie Zhuo asked.

His eyes were still fixed on Xu Yan's, trying to see through her eyes what was really in her mind.

To be honest, he really didn't understand why the person in front of him suddenly did this?

Based on what he learned in his previous life and this life, there is absolutely no way Xu Yan could like him.

The person Xu Yan likes is someone like Han Xiaoyu.

"Of course it's because," Xu Yan also looked at Xie Zhuo, and the words on his lips were about to come out, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a figure, "I like you."

Xie Zhuo looked at her expressionlessly.

Xu Yan blinked at him.

Xie Zhuo didn't understand what she meant. The words "I like you" shocked him so much that he couldn't react for a long time.

like him?

What is there for him to like?
