Li Hanliang originally didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, it was beneficial for him to change his target, so that the girl wouldn't be around him every day and interfere with his money-making.

However, as he took a few steps forward, he heard Chu Yuxi's cries for help grow even more pitiful.

"You little bitch! Don't think I don't know what you're up to? You want to use me to get extra points into college, and then kick me to the curb. I'm not going to be a cuckold for nothing!"

Jing Wenqiang's voice came over, and before he finished speaking, he had already covered Chu Yuxi's mouth.

From inside the haystack, only a desperate sob could be heard.

This third son of the well has some connections. His uncle is the deputy director of the county's supply and marketing cooperative, his father is said to be doing business with an older brother in the south, and his two older brothers are both working in important positions in the city.

In those days, such families possessed both intelligence and class background. As long as the policies from above were in place, their meteoric rise was just around the corner.

Old Man Jing was clever enough to know this, so he obeyed his father and uncle's instructions and went down to the countryside to gain experience.

During his years in the brigade, he had initially pretended to be a respectable person, but since he discovered that Han Jianguo was a pedantic and honest man with little ability to scheme, and that no one else in the brigade posed a threat to him, he increasingly revealed his true nature.

Chu Yuxi was also confused; of all people to turn to, she had to go after this spoiled brat.

"Waaah... Help!" Chu Yuxi finally cried out as she struggled.

At the same time, the sound of clothes tearing came from inside.

"You little wench, you've gone too far!"

With a loud slap, Jing Wenqiang struck Chu Yuxi across the face. "If you dare call people here, I'll make sure your whole family dies!"

Li Hanliang couldn't listen to this anymore and told him to take a detour, but he couldn't do it.

Many of his friends in the circle used to engage in this kind of coercion, but he never participated in any of the gatherings.

A man who has worked his way up to his status has no need to resort to such despicable means and lower his own worth, so he has always looked down on these scoundrels who force themselves on women.

Today, Jing Wenqiang dared to dirty things in front of him; he really ran right into the clutches of the King of Hell!

The moonlight was faint, and the starlight shone on the haystack, illuminating Chu Yuxi's partially exposed figure.

Jing Wenqiang was so captivated by the scene before him that he had no time to observe his surroundings.

"You little bitch, what were you doing acting all high and mighty in front of me? Today I'm going to take you down!"

Jing Wenqiang loosened his leather belt, ready to strike at the heart of the enemy.

Li Hanliang kicked out with a flying kick, yelling, "Do your mother's business!"

With a thud, Jing Wenqiang was kicked a meter away, where he crashed to the ground with a thud.

Li Hanliang didn't bother to look at him, and casually helped Chu Yuxi up. "Alright, get dressed and go home."

It must be said that Chu Yuxi is indeed beautiful. In an era where everyone is obviously malnourished, she is certainly well-endowed with a D-cup.

With an angelic face and a mature figure, it's no wonder that all the young men in the group are infatuated with her.

But Li Hanliang only glanced at it casually, didn't linger for even a second longer, and turned to leave.

Chu Yuxi was terrified. Just as she came to her senses, she saw Li Hanliang's disgusted expression and felt even more ashamed and indignant. She shouted in a tearful voice, "Stop right there!"

This was the first time she had ever met a man who could remain so calm in front of her.

The main problem is that Li Hanliang has already seen her, so how could he just let her go?

Chu Yuxi, crying, fastened her clothes. "What...what did you see?"

Li Hanliang found her utterly unreasonable. "I saved you, of course I saw everything. Otherwise, do you think I would have intervened?"

However, he didn't have time to argue with a girl who was still in shock, and judging from the way Jing Wenqiang was lying on the ground grimacing, he figured that once the thing got up, it would cause quite a bit of trouble.

“I’ll take you home.” Li Hanliang grabbed Chu Yuxi’s arm.

Chu Yuxi looked at him with a wronged expression, and suddenly realized that Li Hanliang was just handsome and delicate, but his body was quite masculine. For a moment, she secretly regretted that she had not noticed before.

This man is tall and strong, and has a strong sense of responsibility. If she could marry him, she wouldn't have to deal with the poor and skinny guys in the brigade herself anymore.

Just like today, Li Hanliang was able to help her solve the problem.

Most importantly, Li Hanliang is all alone and has no one to rely on. Once she gets into university, it will be easy for her to divorce him.

Chu Yuxi gritted her teeth, becoming even more determined to continue marrying Li Hanliang and not take any more risks with anyone else!

"Hanliang," she called out shyly, "thank you for today."

Li Hanliang felt goosebumps all over his body. He was already tired of this kind of green tea rhetoric and didn't want to say a word to it.

Jing Wenqiang had fallen hard, and the shock from the congested area made it impossible for him to get up no matter how hard he struggled. Watching Li Hanliang walk away with his prize, he was seething with rage.

"Li Hanliang, you just wait! In less than three days, I'll kick you out of the brigade!"

A poor boy born and raised in the village dares to go against him? He's asking for death!

Li Hanliang is not easily intimidated, and besides, someone of Jing Wenqiang's caliber is not qualified.

He escorted Chu Yuxi to her doorstep and then turned to leave.

"Hanliang..."

Chu Yuxi looked pitiful, grabbing his sleeve and refusing to let go.

Annoyed by the nagging, Li Hanliang shook him off, saying, "Fine, you'd better watch yourself."

He didn't want to say anything more; getting out of this troublesome place as soon as possible was the most important thing.

Otherwise, if Chu Yuxi's difficult father saw it, I would be even more unable to explain myself.

Li Hanliang knows that making money is the most important thing for him right now, and everything else has to take a backseat.

Having grown accustomed to being addressed as "General Manager Li" and surrounded by admirers, the thought of him spending his days doing nothing in this brigade was worse than death for him.

The next morning, Li Hanliang got to work.

He first went to the brigade office to exchange for meat coupons, and then called Liu Quanyou to go to the county town together.

This time, his goal was clear: he went straight to the ticket scalper he had been eyeing the day before. With just one meat coupon, he exchanged it for five banknotes and one pen coupon. After some haggling, he ended up exchanging all his cloth coupons and hairdressing coupons for only three meat coupons.

Li Hanliang gave the cloth coupons to Liu Quanyou, asking him to buy two sets of clothes for the two of them, and specifically emphasized that they must be suits in black.

Because black fabrics are the least visible in terms of quality, their cloth coupons can only be exchanged for ordinary thick cotton cloth. They can't get fine wool or woolen fabrics for making suits.

Li Hanliang then went to exchange the notebook and pen himself. He specifically chose a thick white notebook, found a street corner, and sat down to write business cards.

In this era where nothing is available, the commercial reputation he desires can only be earned through his own efforts.

As he was writing, a Phoenix bicycle suddenly stopped in front of him. Li Hanliang looked up and saw that it was actually a beautiful girl. "Are you Li Hanliang?"
