Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Tian Cuiying stopped Luo Linlin who had just finished washing up with a basin of water. According to her experience during this period, Luo Linlin would probably give her a cold look and then reject her without hesitation.

But she didn't back down at all. Instead, she straightened her chest and said, "Whatever you refuse, you refuse." Anyway, as long as she was thick-skinned enough, Luo Linlin would have to talk to her today.

Who would have thought that Luo Linlin was possessed today? She didn't give Tian Cuiying a cold face, nor did she reject her. Instead, she raised the corner of her mouth in a familiar arc and smiled at her gently: "Okay, but you have to wait for me for a while. I have to put my things back first."

At this moment, Tian Cuiying's mind went blank, and only one sentence emerged in her mind: A gentle knife, every knife cuts people's lives.

If she had a face like Luo Linlin, she would definitely choose the same path as her.

Bah, bah, bah, you can't think like that. If you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall; if you rely on water, the water will run away. The most important thing is to rely on yourself. Besides, it is impossible for her to have such a face.

Without giving her time to think, Luo Linlin came out of the room empty-handed and called Tian Cuiying: "Xiaoying, let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to talk?"

The two used to be the most "closest" friends, but later they fell out because of Lorraine Lindell's self-esteem. Although the relationship has eased since then, they still haven't reconciled. Now the two of them walked to the ridge of the field, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Tian Cuiying had clearly prepared a speech long ago, but when she faced Luo Linlin, her mind went blank and she didn't know where to start.

It was Luo Linlin who spoke first: "I know what you want to say. I can tell you responsibly that the Luo Linlin of the past is dead. I no longer have those naive ideas of the past."

"what?"

"I know you used to look down on me and thought I only knew how to rely on others, but I won't do that anymore. You're right, people are most reliable only when they rely on themselves..."

"I...I didn't think so..."

Tian Cuiying tried to defend herself, but Luo Linlin raised her hand to interrupt her: "You don't need to explain. Listen to me. When I was little, my mother and I relied on my father. Later, my father passed away. My grandparents and uncles disliked me for being too young. My mother was weak and didn't want us to eat dry meals at home. You also know that my mother and I don't look alike. I used to say that I look like my father, but that's not true. I don't look like either of them. In order to drive us out, they said that I wasn't from the Luo family..."

Thinking of her childhood experiences, Luo Linlin's eyes became moist. In order to prevent the tears from falling in front of Tian Cuiying, she looked up at the sky and held back the tears that were about to fall.

"Later, my mother found a stepfather and brought me along as a burden. My mother was afraid of being kicked out again, so she wanted to give birth to a son for that man. Later, that man became an alcoholic, a violent gambler, and my mother went to work in your house. You know what happened next..."

"Why didn't you tell me this before? If I had known, I would have helped you!"

This was the first time Tian Cuiying heard this story. In her eyes, Luo Linlin's mother had always been a loyal, honest and capable person. As for Luo Linlin's stepfather, Tian Cuiying didn't know much about him, except that her family didn't allow her to go to Luo Linlin's house to play.

However, according to Luo Linlin's mother, her stepfather was a good man who lost his job because of a frame-up. However, he was not idle either. He was always doing odd jobs, such as helping people pull coal briquettes. So this is the truth?

The scar had been torn open, so Luo Linlin just spoke frankly and said everything that had been hidden in her heart.

"Tell you? How can you help me? Can you stop that man from hitting people? Or stop him from drinking and gambling?"

Tian Cuiying didn't need to answer at all. Luo Linlin shook her head and said, "No, no, he won't listen. Tian Cuiying, do you know how much I envy you? Your father, mother, brothers and sisters, and all those relatives, they all truly love you, and I have never received such love."

"But don't worry, I won't be stupid again. I won't rely on men like my silly mother. I will get everything I want with my own hands. As for you, Cuiying, you don't have to save money for me anymore, and you don't have to write home to ask for pocket money anymore."

When talking about saving money, Tian Cuiying's round face turned red. She had been saving money secretly, and even wrote home asking for money with various excuses. She thought she was doing this very secretly, but she didn't expect Luo Linlin to know about it.

"How did you suddenly figure it out?"

Tian Cuiying was very happy that the money she had saved with great effort was of no use, but not because the money could be kept, but because she was sure that Luo Linlin had really figured it out and she had welcomed her own new life.

Luo Linlin winked playfully at Tian Cuiying: "Of course it's because of Tan Yuan~"

Tan Yuan, it’s Tan Yuan again, the culprit who caused me to suffer from insomnia for several days!

Tian Cuiying's cheeks were puffed with anger, but the next moment, she and Luo Linlin looked at each other, and they both smiled tacitly. They knew that their relationship had returned to the way it was before, and even more sincere than before.

Even though she felt more sincere towards Tian Cuiying, Luo Linlin did not tell her all about her past. Those things were too dark, a dark side that Tian Cuiying had never been exposed to since she was a child.

Since you didn't know it before, you don't need to know it in the future. The wounds that have already been suffered should be allowed to scab over and fall off, disappearing from sight, leaving only a shallow mark. In the end, even the mark will disappear.

In the end, Tian Cuiying still couldn't find out what she wanted, but that didn't matter anymore.

The optimistic Tian Cuiying thought that since she couldn’t find it now, it didn’t matter. There was still a long time to come and she could look for it slowly. She should just work well in the factory for now!

The two of them were carrying Tan Yuan away with the night wind until she finally disappeared. They walked back hand in hand and came to the gate of the educated youth site, where they met Liang Jin who had just returned from outside.

The Jiefang rubber shoes on Liang Jin's feet were already worn out, and he didn't expect to meet Luo Linlin so late at night.

Thinking that he had just returned from Zhao Yang's place, Liang Jin felt guilty facing this girl who had openly expressed her love for him and whom he also had a crush on.

"You...are still awake at this late hour."

Seeing the direction he was coming from, Luo Linlin knew that he was coming from the Zhou family where Zhao Yang lived. According to her previous personality, she had to show an expression of hurt and heartbreak.
