All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

After the director of the supply and marketing cooperative left, Lin Ruan's eyes turned and he did not immediately go to Angezhuang Commune where Lin Paner was.

She saw that it was almost evening, and she felt that the dirt road leading to the village would be even more difficult to travel, so she decided to stay in the guesthouse in the town first.

The conditions in the town guesthouse were simple. There was a lingering smell of dampness in the room and the sheets looked gray.

Lin Ruan frowned and went straight into the space to stay there for the night.

The next day, she slept until she woke up naturally, washed up slowly, and then began to dress carefully.

The weather in Liaoning Province is still a bit cold now, so she chose a khaki silk long cardigan with excellent texture, and paired it with a pure white lace dress.

On his feet were a pair of shiny brown leather shoes.

Her hair was carefully combed into a smooth half-up style, and her face was made up with very light makeup that highlighted her good complexion.

He looked at himself again and again in the small mirror he had taken out from the space, making sure that from head to toe he exuded a sense of refinement, superiority, and urbanity that was out of place in this impoverished town.

This was exactly the effect she wanted. She wanted Lin Pan'er and everyone else attending the wedding to clearly see that there was already a world of difference between them.

After having lunch in the space, she carried a black leather handbag and went to the oxcart gathering point on the edge of the town.

When she found the oxcart heading to Angezhuang, she covered her nose and looked with disdain at the simple cart board and the dark-skinned driver squatting and smoking beside it. In the end, she put the bag that Wang Juan asked her to bring to Lin Paner on the cart and sat on it sideways.

The ox cart swayed along for nearly two hours before finally stopping at the entrance of a village that looked even more dilapidated and had low houses.

Lin Ruan walked on the bumpy dirt road and headed straight towards the educated youth point.

Her appearance was like a sudden ray of light, instantly attracting the attention of all the villagers.

The children ran after her, looking curiously at this beautiful sister who looked like she had walked out of a picture magazine.

The adults were whispering to each other, wondering where this daughter of a high-ranking official came from and why she appeared in the village today.

The educated youth site is still a few connected adobe houses, but the yard is more lively than usual, but it still looks simple.

A few shabby tables were put together, with some simple, greasy meals on them. A few educated youth were sitting there, talking in low voices, with some fatigue and a sense of relaxation as if they had completed a task on their faces.

The air was filled with a smell mixed with dirt, sweat and poverty.

Lin Ruan stood at the gate, frowning slightly, not wanting to step in. Just then, a young woman came out with a basin of water. Seeing her, she froze for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Lin Paner." Lin Ruan's voice was crisp, with a natural sense of alienation.

The educated youth called out into the house, "Lin Pan'er! Someone's looking for you!"

After a while, a figure slowly walked out of the dim room.

When Lin Pan'er appeared at the door and saw the radiant Lin Ruan standing in the sun, she froze.

The Lin Pan'er in front of him was completely different from the cousin in Lin Ruan's memory who was taciturn but pretty.

She was wearing an old cotton jacket that had been washed so white that its original color was almost unrecognizable, and a pair of baggy, mud-stained army green pants.

His skin was rough and dark, and he looked old prematurely due to the torture of wind and sun. His hands were covered with dry cuts and thick calluses.

His hair was dry and yellow, tied casually behind his head, and his eyes were full of fatigue, numbness, and a hint of sudden shock and incredible humility.

She looked at Lin Ruan, at the expensive and exquisite silk coat, at the delicate white lace skirt, at the spotless pair of leather shoes, at the fair and delicate face that seemed to glow...

The huge visual impact and status gap hit her heart like a heavy hammer.

In an instant, countless complex emotions surged through my heart: envy? jealousy? shame? unspeakable grievance? Or perhaps bitter memories of my extremely biased home in the distant capital?

She opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't utter a word. She just subconsciously retracted her hands, which were covered with calluses and had dirt embedded in the nails, as if she wanted to hide herself.

Lin Ruan was also looking at Lin Paner.

Seeing the other person in such a miserable state, she could hardly help but raise the corners of her mouth.

She had originally planned to give Lin Pan'er the burgundy Lenin suit that her mother Wang Juan had discarded, just like giving alms to a beggar, and then say a few meaningless words to her, and that would be enough to complete the visit and satisfy her interest.

Wang Juan bought that Lenin suit a few years ago, but now she can no longer wear it.

Fortunately, she found it and asked Lin Ruan to bring it to Lin Pan'er. It was a way of reusing waste, and it also counted as the money paid by the eldest branch of the Lin family.

However, just as she was about to speak the words she had already prepared, which carried a sense of almsgiving, her eyes fell on Lin Paner's weather-beaten face, which was full of hardships, and a sudden person flashed through her mind - Ji Hanchuan.

The man who suddenly appeared and snatched her place, making her hate him so much that she didn't hesitate to spend points to drug and curse him.

The frustration and anger that had nowhere to vent were strangely not directed at the weaker cousin in front of her. Instead, they made her develop an extremely distorted sense of comparison.

Men like Ji Hanchuan can rely on their family background and diplomas to snatch things from others and rise step by step.

Lin Pan'er, who was also someone Lin Ruan disliked, could only struggle in this mud and marry an educated youth with no future to spend the rest of her life.

This contrast made Lin Ruan suddenly feel that Lin Pan'er in front of her seemed...

A little better?

At least, Lin Pan'er's misery is real, and Lin Ruan can see through it at a glance, and can even show mercy or aggravate it at will.

But Ji Hanchuan was like a thorn stuck in her throat.

She could only discipline him secretly and with shady means, but she would never be able to bully him openly like she did to Lin Pan'er.

A sudden impulse of kindness surged into Lin Ruan's heart.

Give her a little sweetness?

Why not give her a great favor that far exceeds her expectations, makes her feel grateful, and makes her completely prostrate herself at your feet?

This seemed to give her a greater sense of control and pleasure than simple humiliation and charity.

Lin Ruan's mind raced, and she immediately thought of the temporary job she had gotten at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday.

Sell ​​it to someone else for one or two hundred dollars?

To her, this amount of money is really nothing.

But if you use it to invest in Lin Paner, perhaps it will bring unexpected returns?

She immediately called the system in her mind: "Seventeen, open the mall and buy a Holy Mother buff card."

This was a habit she developed in this world. She would use one no matter what she bought for the Lin family. After all, how could she give it away for free if there was no benefit?

As the name suggests, the Madonna buff card allows the user to receive critical hit feedback based on the recipient's level of gratitude when performing a Madonna act.

Although one card can only be used three times, it only costs 30 points, so it's not expensive at all.

After all, there is an element of gambling——

If the other party is an ungrateful person and has no gratitude at all, then it will be useless even if you give it to him, and you will not get any critical hit at all.

If the other party holds a grudge against you because of this, they may even deduct the user's points.

The system quickly responded: "Okay, Ruanruan, it's sold out."

All these psychological activities and system operations are just a pause of one or two seconds to the outside world.

The expression on Lin Ruan's face changed instantly.

The smile that originally held a hint of sarcasm and superiority became...softer, even deliberately creating a hint of pity and sympathy.

She took a step forward and softened her voice: "Sister Pan'er, long time no see. How are you?"

Lin Pan'er was even more overwhelmed by this sudden "concern". Her eyes instantly turned red. She lowered her head and choked with sobs: "Xiaobao...you, why are you here..."

She really wanted to cry.

Ever since she received no reply to the letters she sent back home, Lin Pan'er had prepared herself to never see the Lin family again.

Seeing Lin Ruan at this moment, his complicated mood even included a hint of touching.

Although she never forgot that she went to the countryside because she had soiled Lin Ruan's shoes.

"I came to Liao Province to visit my second brother. He's been promoted to company commander. I came to see you on the way..."

Lin Ruan spoke lightly, her eyes sweeping over Lin Pan'er's shabby clothes. She handed the package to Lin Pan'er and said, "Here, my mother heard that you were getting married, so she asked me to bring you a red Lenin suit. Try it on to see if it fits you."

Lenin suit, not to mention after going to the countryside, Lin Pan'er has never worn such good clothes in her life.

Lin Pan'er's hands trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to take it: "This... This is too expensive... I, I can't accept it..."

"Here." Lin Ruan stuffed the package into her hands without hesitation. "After all, getting married is a big deal. At least wear something festive."

"Xiaobao, thank you, thank you aunt..." Lin Pan'er choked a little.

People are afraid of comparison.

Her biological mother was reluctant to even reply to her two-cent letter, but her uncle's family not only asked her cousin to come in person, but also brought her a red Lenin suit.

"Ding! Lin Pan'er's gratitude triggers the Virgin Mary buff with triple critical hits, and the host obtains three sets of high-end clothing."

Lin Ruan took a look and said there were three sets, and they really were three sets—

From underwear to coats, including shoes and socks.

"By the way, I told grandma about your marriage, and she asked me to bring you 5 yuan. Here, here you go."

It was naturally impossible for Old Lady Lin to pay the five dollars to Lin Paner. Lin Ruan just found an excuse to get a critical rebate.

As for why he used Old Lady Lin as an excuse, you can tell by looking at Lin Paner's expression.

"Xiaobao, thank you! Thank you so much!"

How could Lin Pan'er not understand her grandmother?

But she didn't think that Lin Ruan would pay for it himself.

So she took it for granted that it was Lin Ruan who spoke for her in front of Old Mrs. Lin.

"Ding! Lin Pan'er's gratitude triggers the Virgin Mary buff with a tenfold critical hit, and the host gains fifty yuan."

After Lin Pan'er calmed down, Lin Ruan casually dropped the bombshell, "By the way, Sister Pan'er. I was in town yesterday and happened to help Director Chen of the town supply and marketing cooperative with a small favor. To thank me, she promised to give me a temporary job at the supply and marketing cooperative."

Lin Pan'er suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief! A temporary worker at the supply and marketing cooperative?!

That was a good job that many educated youth and villagers dreamed of but dared not even think about!

Protected from the wind and rain, with a fixed salary and food coupons every month, it is a golden road to escape from the countryside!

Lin Ruan looked at her shocked expression, feeling extremely satisfied. He continued in a tone as if casually offering a cabbage, "I don't need this job either. I thought you were working in the countryside and your life was tough... How about this job? Consider it my congratulations on your wedding. Take some time off, and I'll take you to get the job."

boom--!

This sentence exploded in Lin Paner's mind like a bomb!

She was completely stunned and stared at Lin Ruan blankly, as if she didn't understand what she was saying.

give her?

Work at a supply and marketing cooperative?

Give it to her, a person who was almost forgotten by her family and struggling in the mud?

A mixture of immense, unreal ecstasy and immense confusion made her dizzy.

She subconsciously felt that this was impossible. How could pie fall from the sky?

Or was it given by Lin Ruan?

Their relationship has never been good!

Lin Pan'er looked at Lin Ruan's face that seemed to emit a soft light in the sun, and listened to her "understated" words that were enough to change her destiny. The doubts in her heart were quickly overwhelmed by a huge and surging gratitude!

Yes!

Although Xiaobao had a bad temper in the past, she is still a family member after all!

She grew up and became sensible. Seeing how much she suffered, she softened her heart!

She really came to help me!

She is an angel!

Be a savior!

"Xiaobao! I... I..." Lin Pan'er was so excited that she was incoherent, and tears suddenly flowed down her face. They were no longer tears of grievance, but tears full of gratitude and hope.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I... I don't know what to do... This... This kindness is too great! I..."

She was so excited that she almost knelt down to Lin Ruan.

Lin Ruan supported her just right, enjoying the pleasure of completely controlling her emotions. On the surface, she acted as if it was nothing. "You better do your best in the future and don't embarrass me. I gave you this job, you can't give it to anyone else, understand?"

"I know, I know, thank you, Xiaobao, thank you, Xiaobao!"

"Ding! Lin Pan'er's gratitude is overflowing, triggering the Virgin Mary buff with a hundredfold critical hit, and the host receives 20,000 Chinese currency. Special reward: five sets of the complete Chinese national bill collection. After receiving the gift, Lin Pan'er will distribute it to the system space."

Lin Ruan squinted his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

"Sister Pan'er, pack your things quickly and ask for leave from the brigade. I'll take you to town right away."

Lin Pan'er nodded hurriedly and went into the house to pack her things in a hurry.

After a while, she came out carrying a tattered little bag on her back. Her eyes were still red, but full of longing for the future.

The two of them left the educated youth site and headed towards the brigade. Along the way, the villagers still cast curious glances at Lin Ruan, but Lin Pan'er straightened her back with pride on her face.

When she arrived at the brigade, Lin Paner successfully asked for leave.

They returned to the village entrance and got on the ox cart.

This time, Lin Ruan was not so disgusted, after all, she was in a good mood.

On the ox cart, Lin Pan'er kept expressing her gratitude, and Lin Ruan just responded with a smile.

Arriving in town, the two went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. Chen Cuiping saw Lin Ruan and greeted her warmly.

Lin Ruan explained his purpose, and Chen Cuiping didn't think much about it and quickly completed the temporary work procedures for Lin Paner.

Because it was a temporary job, there was no need to go to the brigade to complete the transfer procedures. Lin Paner's hands were shaking as she held the work certificate.

Lin Ruan was also looking at the harvest he had just obtained.

Not to mention the 20,000 yuan, the bills are complete, there is no water at all -

They range from hard-to-get TV tickets and washing machine tickets to national food and sugar coupons.

Without staying for long, Lin Ruan refused Lin Pan'er's incoherent attempts to keep him, saying that he had to rush to the army to see his second brother. With Lin Pan'er's grateful eyes as if she were looking at a savior, he turned and walked towards the station.

Along the way, the sun seemed to be much brighter.
