"No, thanks, Wen Zhiqing. How can I take your things for no reason? Take them back quickly. If someone sees them, you'll be in trouble!" Ye Song hurriedly pushed away the small bag of brown rice handed to him by Wen Yishu, and looked around vigilantly.
When Wen Yishu saw his look, she panicked a little. She immediately took back the small bag of brown rice and hid it. Then she looked around hurriedly, fearing that someone really saw her having a relationship with the person in the cowshed.
It's not two years later now. Ye Song is still a notorious bad guy. If she gets too close to him, people will really suspect her stance.
Seeing that there was really no one around, Wen Yishu breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to continue to show her kindness to Ye Song, but Ye Song was too late to avoid her. He had already returned to the cowshed and closed his shabby and rickety door. He did not forget to say to Wen Yishu: "Wen Zhiqing, leave quickly and don't come near here again."
Wen Yishu was not willing to give up so easily. She patted the broken door and carefully looked around. Then she said, "Uncle Ye, you really don't have to be so nervous. I have no other thoughts about you. I just sympathize with you... We both came to this village from the city, which shows that we are destined to be together. If it weren't for reality, I would have wanted to recognize you as my father. My father has always been very cold to me because I am a girl, but I think an intellectual like you, Uncle Ye, would definitely not have such a backward idea of favoring boys over girls..."
Wen Yishu was really helpless. She had to use this excuse to win Ye Song's sympathy. She also had her own plan. She was thinking that if she could take the opportunity to quietly acknowledge Ye Song as her godfather now, then when Ye Song's status and reputation were restored, wouldn't she be able to rise to prominence with him
Little did he know that Ye Song in the dark cowshed became more wary of her sudden kindness after hearing her words. He did not believe that Wen Yishu was purely sympathetic to him, but he could not figure out why she was so eager to get close to him. After all, he was no longer the respected professor with a powerful background in the capital, so what benefit did Wen Yishu want to get from him
But no matter what it was, Ye Song didn't want to get involved with such a person with impure intentions, so he turned cold and warned him seriously: "Wen Zhiqing, if you don't leave, I will shout and say that you came to steal my things."
“Uncle Ye! You… you must have misunderstood me…” Wen Yishu was angry and anxious.
"Leave now!" Ye Song was not soft-hearted. "I'm about to yell. Have you thought about how to explain why you came here? 1... 2..."
When Wen Yishu heard Ye Song start counting, she knew he was serious. She didn't want anyone to know she was here right now, so she stomped her feet heavily and turned away angrily.
"You are so ungrateful! If it weren't for... Humph..." Wen Yishu walked back carrying her small bag of brown rice, resenting Ye Song for being so stubborn. She was so kind to help him, but he still threatened her. It was really unreasonable.
She failed to achieve her goal and was in a bad mood. She looked at the little bit of brown rice in her hand and became even more annoyed. This little bit of brown rice was already half of her remaining rations. Ye Song refused to accept it. Then after she finished even this little bit of rations, what would she use to help Ye Song
The more Wen Yishu thought about it, the angrier she became. She was exhausted from working every day, but she didn't dare to pursue Zhao Shijian again. She had no other scapegoats to help her. She was almost unable to hold on any longer. Was she really going to allow herself to become a village girl with a dark complexion, rough skin, and dirt under her nails that couldn't be washed away
If she can't find a reliable man to help her share the burden, she doubts she will live for more than two years. She is unwilling to accept this...
Ye Song found Zhao Shichu on the mountain and told her about Wen Yishu's abnormality.
"Why did she suddenly come to me? She said she felt sorry for me and gave me a small bag of food." Ye Song was puzzled.
Zhao Shichu immediately understood Wen Yishu's idea. That is, she wanted to invest in Ye Song in advance. She wanted to help Ye Song when he was in trouble. Wouldn't he be grateful? Was she afraid that he wouldn't repay her in the future
Wen Yishu was reborn. Knowing that Ye Song would regain his status and position in the future, how could she resist making friends with Ye Song
Of course, this is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that she did it clumsily and her intentions were too obvious, so Ye Song saw through it. So not only did he not feel fond of her, but he ended up being defensive against her, which made Zhao Shichu laugh and cry.
"How can I know what she is thinking? Maybe she thinks your current predicament is only temporary and you will make a comeback in the future, and then she can benefit from you." Zhao Shichu said in a half-truthful tone.
"I myself don't believe that I will have a future. Now I just live one day at a time. How can she trust me?" Ye Song was shocked.
Of course, because they know your future, Zhao Shichu said in his heart.
"Who knows?" Zhao Shichu shrugged. "Just think of it as her investing in you in advance. She is willing to give you food, so why don't you accept it? At most, you can return it to her later."
When Ye Song heard her say that, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, she has too many thoughts and they are too complicated. I am afraid I can't repay her kindness. Besides, I am not starving to death yet, so there is no need to owe her a favor."
"It's up to you." Zhao Shichu didn't care. She was sure that she could get into university and have a bright future on her own, so she didn't expect to rely on Ye Song's help.
Now she went up the mountain to cut grass for the pigs, and occasionally would share some of the small prey she caught with him. She also helped him occasionally under the pretext of learning from him, so she was not afraid that he would starve to death.
So, maybe she was the one who gave Ye Song the confidence to refuse Wen Yishu's charity? Tsk tsk, this was a coincidence. If she hadn't helped Ye Song, then Ye Song might have really accepted Wen Yishu's charity when he was on the verge of starvation, regardless of whether she had ulterior motives or not.
Zhao Shichu sighed falsely, who made Wen Yishu so unlucky
After talking to Zhao Shichu, Ye Song avoided Wen Yishu even more. This was not too difficult. After all, he had to go to the mountains to herd cattle during the day, and Wen Yishu had to go to work and had no time to look for him. When she came back from work, the village was full of people and it was very inconvenient for her to sneak into the cowshed. Therefore, it was not easy for her to approach and please Ye Song.
But all this has nothing to do with Zhao Shichu. She is now busy tutoring Zhao Shijian in junior high school knowledge, and also has to teach him high school knowledge. Time is very tight, and she has no extra time to care about Wen Yishu.
Zhao Shijian was not a good student, and he had dropped out of school for several years, so his foundation was poor. Therefore, it was very difficult to tutor him, and sometimes I even had to start from elementary school to explain the knowledge points to him again.
