After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Shi Shengxia looked up, then lowered her head with disgust and continued to bundle the rice straw. How could the original owner cause her such trouble?

"Zhu Zhiqing? Are you discharged from the hospital?" Aunt Zhang San took a closer look and called out tentatively.

Zhu Jiajun felt his face hurt as soon as he opened his mouth. If Shi Shengxia hadn't stopped subsidizing him recently, why would he come to the fields to deliver water in such hot weather?

"Hey, Aunt Zhang, you're discharged from the hospital." After saying that, he limped towards Shi Shengxia carrying a small pot of water.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Zhu Zhiqing, he didn't appreciate it when Shi Zhiqing was nice to him. Fortunately, Shi Zhiqing has come to his senses now and is no longer nice to him!" Aunt Zhang glanced at Zhu Jiajun with disdain.

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly: "Who said it wasn't? But can the captain find out who beat Zhu Zhiqing?"

"Where can we check this? It's late at night! It's pitch dark, I'm afraid we can't find out anything." Aunt Zhang looked mysterious.

Shen Nian found that her two ears seemed not enough.

There are too many melons, I can’t finish them all, I can’t finish them at all.

The number of people eating melons increased from just Shen Nian to three. The three of them held bundles of rice straw in their hands, but they would glance at Shi Zhiqing from time to time.

"Shengxia, don't be so angry. It's not too late to drink some water before working!" Zhu Jiajun said as he handed the kettle to Shi Shengxia.

Shi Shengxia said without even looking up: "Take it away, I don't want to drink. And please call me Comrade Shi."

Zhu Jiajun thought Shi Shengxia was throwing a tantrum, and he wanted to stuff the kettle in his hand into Shi Shengxia's hand.

"I told you I don't want to drink! If you do that again, I'll call you a hooligan!"

Shi Shengxia reached out and pushed hard. Zhu Jiajun, who was already using a crutch, lost his balance and sat down in the field, grimacing in pain.

Shi Shengxia didn't even look at Zhu Jiajun. She threw the rice in her hand to the ground and left.

Shen Nian looked at Shi Shengxia's back, then at Zhu Jiajun. Is this a romance drama?

Chasing Wife Crematorium?

But which male protagonist would be beaten so badly?

Zhu Jiajun lowered his head and twisted his mind for a moment, then raised his head and looked gentle again. In fact, he really didn't look gentle at all.

"Zhu Zhiqing, are you okay?" Aunt Zhang next to him called out tentatively.

Zhu Jiajun looked up and said, "Aunt, it's okay."

Is this the new educated youth?

Shen Nian felt his gaze, but didn't care. He couldn't beat her in his current state anyway.

"Hello, are you a new educated youth? Here is some water for you." Zhu Jiajun moved to Shen Nian's field and smiled a self-proclaimed handsome smile.

Shen Nian looked left and right. Oh, they changed their target so quickly?

She took a few steps back and politely declined, "No, my brother will bring me some water later."

What the hell, giving her things that others don't want? Does she look like a recycler?

No! No one can get close to her!

Zhu Jiajun's face changed slightly when he heard this. "Brother? Not from the city? From the village? Judging from her appearance, if she gets some training, she can be accepted as a village girl."

He continued to smile: "My water is sweeter than the water your brother gave me."

Shen Nian was unhappy when he heard this, "You are too ugly! I dare not drink your water!"

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang, who were watching the fun, looked at each other and tried to hold back their laughter.

As soon as Shen Nian finished speaking, Zhu Jiajun's face turned ugly in an instant. He had never been disliked so directly by anyone, and for a moment his face was a little embarrassed. He glared at Shen Nian fiercely, then limped away with the kettle in his hand.

As soon as he left, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang burst into laughter, and Zhu Jiajun's back walked even faster.

"Shen Zhiqing, you have a really sharp tongue, haha..." Aunt Zhang was about to cry.

Aunt Wang squatted on the ground and laughed: "You are too fierce, girl."

Shen Nian smiled a little embarrassedly. She didn't want to be disrespectful, but when she saw the hypocrisy on Zhu Zhiqing's face, she could only tell the truth. It was this person who said that the water her brother sent was not sweet.

"Auntie, is this guy also an educated youth in our team? Why does he seem a little strange?"

Shen Nian was a little curious. She had been here for almost a month, and she had no idea that there were such shameless people in the Youth League Institute.

"Of course they are. They are the educated youth from your Youth Academy. They came to the countryside with Shi Zhiqing. I heard Shi Zhiqing say before that they were from the same place." Aunt Zhang San said quickly when she saw Shen Nian was interested in this.

"At the beginning, Zhiqing kept chasing after Zhu Zhiqing, and everyone thought they were dating!"

"But speaking of that educated youth, ever since he fell into the river and was rescued, he's become a different person. He no longer chases after Zhu Shiqing. That's when everyone realized they weren't in a relationship."

"And I don't know who Zhu Zhiqing offended. He was put in a sack and beaten up. He just got out of the hospital and came back to look for Shi Zhiqing."

"Yes, but everyone is very happy that the educated youth no longer pesters Zhu Zhiqing. Look, she is still working in the fields! Although she doesn't do much."

"That educated young man Zhu doesn't even earn as many work points as a woman. He can't even support himself. What's the point of a man who can't support a family?"

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang took turns speaking a line, like they were singing a duet.

"What's more, it was our brigade that paid for Zhu Zhiqing's injury this time! The brigade's money was saved by everyone to buy fertilizer next year, and now no one likes him." Aunt Zhang San and Aunt Wang were a little angry when they mentioned this.

"Why does the team have to pay for his injury?" Shen Nian was puzzled. Can being beaten be considered a work-related injury?

"We haven't found out who beat him up yet. The captain said he would take him to the police station to report the crime, but he refused to go."

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes when this was mentioned. Who would think of getting beaten up instead of reporting the crime and blackmailing the team for treating him?

"The captain was afraid he'd die, so he had no choice but to take him to the hospital. He had a broken bone and had to stay in the hospital for a while."

……

Shen Nian listened to what Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang said, and concluded that this person should not be the male protagonist.

"Sister, come over and have dinner." Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle shouted while standing on the edge of the field, one holding a lunch box and the other holding a water bottle.

"Hey, Shen Zhiqing! Your brothers are here to bring you food." Aunt Zhang looked at the road and wondered why her little granddaughter Chuntao hadn't arrived yet.

Shen Nian patted the straw on her body and head, "Aunt San, Aunt Wang, I'm going to eat first."

Shen Nian took the kettle from Shen Nianle's hand and drank from it in big gulps. She had replaced the water tank in their home with spring water from the space. The water was sweet and cool, instantly eliminating the heat in the air and her fatigue.

"Have you two eaten?" Shen Nian put the kettle aside.

"I have, sister. Xiaole and I have eaten at home." Shen Nian'an opened the aluminum lunch box and handed it to Shen Nian.

While Shen Nian was eating the food made by his younger brother, he looked at Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle and asked, "Why are you two carrying bags in front of you?"

Shen Nianle tugged at the bag hanging in front of her: "Sister, what are you talking about? My brother and I are going to pick rice with Erwa later!"

"Erwa said that we should pick up the rice scattered on the ground and hand it over to the team, and we can get work points!" Shen Nian'an added.

Shen Nian looked at his two excited brothers and couldn't help but smile: "Then you go find Erwa, I'll take the lunch box back after work."

Shen Nian sat on the edge of the field, watching their backs as they left happily, feeling very relieved.

Although the environment here is harsh, she looked at the little friends she found here, Shen Nian'an and Shen Nianle, who are more cheerful and lively than before, and decided to send them to school after the autumn harvest.

They will have a wonderful childhood here, picking wild fruits in the mountains with their friends, fishing in the river, and going to and from school together. Shen Nian only hopes that her two younger brothers can grow up healthy and happy under her wings.

Shi Shengxia came back at noon and continued to bundle rice stalks. While tying them, she was thinking about how to stay away from the troublesome Zhu Jiajun.

When the original owner was chasing him, he only wanted to get something from her. Now that she has come, instead of subsidizing him, he sticks to her himself!

Fortunately, he was not dating the original owner, otherwise she would be disgusted to death by herself for dating such a scumbag.
