Quick Wear: Domineering System on Your Own

Chapter 40 The Wolf Cub of the Landlord's House 14

Here, everyone gathered in a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, and laughter and joy filled the air, creating a scene of joy and happiness. Meanwhile, Mrs. Zhao lay in bed, her face etched with rage, and she kept on cursing. Her voice was sharp and piercing, filled with anger and dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment in her heart.

Li Mo frowned as she busily cooked in the kitchen. Her mood was complicated, filled with doubt and unease. She felt like everything wasn't supposed to be the way it was, as if something important was quietly disappearing, a feeling that made her incredibly uneasy.

As she skillfully cut the vegetables, she fell into deep thought. Now, it was clear that Jiang Xun's path was a dead end. She thought of the cold reception and rejection she had received from Jiang Xun, and a sense of loss welled up in her heart. She began to think about what she should do next.

Should I listen to my grandmother and take Lu Cheng? The image of Lu Cheng emerged in Li Mo's mind. Compared to Jiang Xun's aloofness, Lu Cheng was obviously easier to get along with. Lu Cheng always had a smile on his face and a gentle personality, making people feel very friendly.

Moreover, she knew that Lu Cheng came from a truly wealthy family. If she could be with Lu Cheng, her life would definitely change dramatically. Grandma always said that the Jiang family had a treasure, but if there really was a treasure, how could Jiang Xun still be living such a miserable life?

The more Li Mo thought about it, the more it made sense. She paused, her mind replaying Lu Cheng's face. She made a secret decision: she would take him down, no matter what. She firmly believed that only in this way could she change her fate and live the life she wanted. Her eyes revealed a firmness and determination, as if she had already seen a bright future beckoning her.

After the banquet, everyone had joy on their faces. They carried their packed meals in their hands and helped clean up the venue before saying goodbye to Lingjiu.

Before leaving, Secretary Wu remembered something and said a few words to Lingjiu: "It's already very cold here in September and October. There are still more than two months left. You should stock up on vegetables, meat and grain as soon as possible to survive the winter!"

Lingjiu nodded and thanked him: "I know, Jiang Xun said that we have already started to store food. Oh, and by the way, if there are poor families in the village who need food, they can come to me and get some food for free."

Secretary Wu was very touched by Lingjiu's consideration for their brigade: "The living standard in our brigade is not low, and basically everyone can have enough to eat. However, there are a few families where the men are gone and they have to raise children alone, and the food they receive is barely enough to get by.

"If you're willing, I certainly won't let you suffer any loss. I'll spend money or exchange it with you for something else."

Lingjiu looked at him meaningfully: "I don't lack that much yet. As long as you continue to maintain this original intention, then my food will not be wasted. Remember, only by keeping your original intention can you achieve your goal."

Secretary Wu solemnly told a female colleague who was about 20 years his junior, "I will definitely live up to the clothes I wear and always put the people first."

Lingjiu could see from his face that his future had indeed changed, and said with relief, "Come on!"

Everything went on as planned afterwards. Lingjiu also sent a letter home, describing her current life and emphasizing Jiang Xun. Thinking that her brother, who was obsessed with his sister, might suddenly attack her, she said in the letter that she would take him back and not allow him to come over.

The Ling family who received the letter really wanted to go and meet Jiang Xun whom Lingjiu mentioned. However, since Lingjiu had predicted their thoughts, they had to wait anxiously for the day when they would return.

Summer was coming to an end, and Lingjiu suddenly wanted to go fishing by the river, so Jiang Xun chose a break time to go together. Lu Cheng thought it would be more fun with more people around, so he went to the educated youth site to find some people.

When Lu Cheng arrived at the educated youth camp, he happened to see Wang Ya and his two companions reading a book at the door. He walked over and asked, "The weather is nice today. We are going fishing. Do you want to go?"

Wang Ya closed the book and glanced at Liu Yu and Li Yun beside him. Seeing them nod, Wang Ya asked, "Okay, we'll pack up and come find you."

Lu Cheng was about to call a few more men when Zhao Liang came out of the room and asked with a smile, "Are you going fishing? Can you add me?"

Seeing that he was going, Lu Cheng naturally did not refuse. Thinking that he and Zhou Yi seemed to be dating, he asked, "Do you want to call Zhou Zhiqing?"

Zhao Liang shook his head and answered him: "No, she doesn't like these."

Seeing that he had said this, Lu Cheng did not say anything else and prepared to ask the other two male educated youth.

Wang Jianjun is an old educated youth and Chen Wei is a new educated youth. They were very happy to hear that they were invited to go fishing. After all, they had been here for so long and had no spare time. They basically worked all the time. It would be nice to have a rare day off and go out to play, so they both agreed.

Lu Cheng gathered his men and told them to pack up and go to the river, where they would have lunch. After everyone agreed, Lu Cheng left the educated youth site.

Here, Shi Er and Shi San were packing the supplies for the picnic. After they finished packing, Jiang Xun went forward to check and put everything into the basket after confirming that nothing was left out. When they finished packing, Lu Cheng just arrived home.

Lingjiu was wearing a little dress and carrying a small bag as she walked in front, while the other two followed behind, each carrying a basket.

After dinner, Aunt Zhang, who was sitting at the door holding her grandson, asked Lingjiu with a smile: "Where are you planning to go, Ling Zhiqing?"

Lingjiu walked up and pinched the little baby's soft face with her hands: "Let's go play by the river for a while." Then she took out a gold lock from her bag and put it on the baby.

Aunt Zhang saw it clearly and quickly refused: "Oh, no, keep this good thing for yourself!"

Aunt Zhang pushed hard but couldn't push Lingjiu's hand away. She was a little surprised for a moment, wondering how this educated youth like Ling could be so strong.

Lingjiu put the golden lock on and stuffed it into the doll's clothes: "This is my gift to him. Remember to keep it with you. You should educate him well. He will be blessed in the future."

Aunt Zhang was overjoyed after hearing this: "We will definitely teach him well, but this gift is too expensive."

"It's okay, you guys continue playing, we'll leave first." After saying that, the three of them continued walking towards the river.

Aunt Zhang shouted at Lingjiu's back, "Thank you, Lingzhiqing."

Lingjiu waved in response.

Li Mo, who was in the alley, heard their conversation and suddenly had an idea when he learned that they were going to the river.

She hasn't had a chance to talk to Lu Cheng these days, and now is a good opportunity, she won't miss it.

Not long after Lingjiu and the other two arrived at the river, the people from the educated youth point also arrived. The men were responsible for setting up the barbecue stall and fishing rods, the women were responsible for skewering the meat, and Lingjiu was responsible for telling them how to cook.

Li Yun saw the boxes of meat in front of him and swallowed his saliva: "Today is really the New Year."

Wang Ya and Liu Yu nodded repeatedly.
