Chapter 201: Chapter 201: My Father is a Snob_1

Guo Xia immediately smiled broadly, "Wow, Little Nuan, you can ride a horse? That’s incredible."

Liu Xiaomin turned her head to look at Song Yunuan as well.

A hint of wariness suddenly rose in her heart.

This Song Yunuan, although she keeps calling Chu Zizhou ’uncle’, does Chu Zizhou really see her as a junior?

Could it be that Chu Zizhou stayed here for her?

Though the place is filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, it’s still countryside after all, lacking even a supply and marketing cooperative; one has to travel a long way to the commune to shop.

Not to mention going to the movies.

That’s something only possible in the county town.

But is the county town any good?

No, it’s not even as nice as the suburbs of Beidu.

Liu Xiaomin had always liked Chu Zizhou, but Chu Zizhou didn’t like her. Shaomin had been pursuing her, so she agreed to be with him.

She didn’t expect that Shaomin would reveal his true colors at one dance party, which actually suited her just fine.

Because she had intended to break up with him anyway.

She had wanted to negotiate terms with Chu Zizhou, but he ended up running away.

And ran off to be a brigade leader at a brigade headquarters.

With no other choice, Liu Xiaomin had to steel herself and follow to see what was really going on.

It was nothing more than having Chu Zizhou accompany her to pick wildflowers. Looking at Guo Xia’s manner, one would think she was about to do something terrible to Chu Zizhou.

Wasn’t Chu Jina going along as well?

Why guard against her as if she were a thief?

Then, by that logic, shouldn’t Song Yunuan be the one to be most guarded against?

She clenched her teeth and remained silent.

But her expression grew dark.

Song Yunuan acted as if she didn’t see the subtle undercurrent at the entrance to the brigade headquarters.

After exclaiming oh, she quickly said, "I completely overlooked it, Auntie Guo, if you’re not leaving right away, we’ll need a pair of rain boots, and it just so happens that my family got a shipment of them in from the provincial city. I’ll take you to pick out some rain boots."

Then, Song Yunuan dismounted her horse.

She left Big Jujube and her brother at the brigade headquarters entrance and took the others back to her house.

Guo Xia also felt that a pair of rain boots was indeed needed, and when she left, she planned to leave them for Old Man Sun. Old Man Sun cooked delicious meals, so it was a way of giving thanks.

As a result, Song Yunuan sold four more pairs of rain boots, and Guo Xia even bought a pair for the driver.

Guo Xia knew that Song Yunuan was just charging cost price, but this was quite alright.

After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If it’s not money, then it’s something else. For Guo Xia, paying money was less of a hassle.

Distracted by Song Yunuan’s interjection, Guo Xia couldn’t bother with Liu Xiaomin’s thoughts anymore, since she would be leaving in a few days anyway.

No matter how big the thoughts, it would all be in vain.

Liu Xiaomin understood this as well, feeling deflated as she put on her rain boots and headed westward out of the village.

She deliberately stepped into a few puddles.

But as she did so, she started to find it quite entertaining.

Then she saw Song Yunuan, who waved at her and then rode towards the county town.

A feeling of envy welled up inside her; this village felt so free.

No wonder Chu Zizhou was getting more and more enthusiastic about staying.

Meanwhile, Xia Zhi was driving a car with four other people inside.

The scenery of the countryside in summer is naturally beautiful.

Many things they had never seen before.

They were definitely experiencing a sense of novelty.

The car wasn’t moving quickly, and a short, plump man named Tang Shougui was Xia Zhi’s buddy.

They were the best of friends.

They had made plans before coming here.

Xia Liying couldn’t shake off the resentment in her heart, blaming it all on Song Yunuan’s meddling. Otherwise, everything at home would have been peaceful and harmonious, but now her days were filled with nothing but arguments.

Due to this, her mother was hospitalized.

She was the youngest.

She was born to her mother at the age of thirty-seven, who nearly lost her life during a difficult delivery, and has been the most cherished by her ever since.

But now her mother is already sixty years old, on the verge of retirement and a peaceful old age, yet she has been suddenly suspended from her job for reflection, with further investigations to follow.

Her father had changed too.

Previously indifferent to those three, he had suddenly become fervent, all because of that Xia Xindong’s abilities, wasn’t it?

She was disappointed and sad, her most respected father had turned out to be such a status-seeker.

Then there was that Song Yunuan.

It was she who had stirred up a lot of trouble with all her flouncing around.

So what if she knew a few people?

What was so great about that?

How did she even come to meet them?

Her father used to disdain her.

He didn’t even want to mention her at all.

But now it was "Song Yunuan" this and "Song Yunuan" that; it sounded especially grating every time he spoke her name, to the extent that her mother no longer wanted to stay at home, and her family was falling apart right before her eyes.

They wouldn’t dare commit murder or arson.

But dealing with a little slut? There were plenty of ways to do that.

Like the man sitting behind them, Tang Shougui.

This time they had concocted several plans.

They would pretend Song Yunuan was Tang Shougui’s pen pal.

They’d make a whole performance of it.

They had already fabricated correspondence between them in advance.

When the time came, they’d claim he came to see her because he received a love letter from her.

Since it didn’t involve the law, if they were exposed, they could just say someone might have impersonated Song Yunuan to write him a love letter.

Whether it was true or not, whether anyone believed it, that didn’t matter in the least.

In any case, if such a thing happened, it wouldn’t affect a boy at all, but a girl—even if she’d done nothing—the slur would stick, and she’d never be able to clearly explain herself away.

Then there was Qin Wang, who could paint; he was actually a student at the College of Fine Arts, about to graduate.

The five of them were best friends, so naturally, they discussed the plan together.

Qin Wang was arrogant by nature, but since he was fond of Xia Liying, initially he disagreed with the plan; however, he couldn’t withstand Xia Liying’s pleas and reluctantly agreed.

Another girl was named Sun Jingjing.

She was smitten with the rakish Xia Zhi.

And so, the five of them formed an odd little alliance.

Tang Shougui genuinely wanted to see what Song Yunuan was really like.

If she was as beautiful as her photos, he’d condescend not to mind she was a village girl and date her for a few days, play around with her and then kick her to the curb when he’d had enough.

Someone from his household could never possibly marry a girl from the countryside, no matter how beautiful she was.

The one he married in the end had to be from a matched family background.

Even though Xia Bowen was Song Yunuan’s maternal grandfather, what did that matter?

The Xia family didn’t acknowledge them; in fact, they were about to become downright enemies.

So that connection was utterly useless.

Out of the five, only Qin Wang had no designs on Song Yunuan.

He simply wanted Xia Liying to vent her spleen here, and then he’d casually paint a few canvases before returning to Beidu.

Obviously, he played a part too, and if everything else failed, it would be his turn to act.

He had to display his artistry to deceive Song Yunuan, and once she took the bait, he’d mock and deride her mercilessly, leaving her humiliated, angry, and wishing she were dead.

With that, their scheme was complete.

This ordeal was probably going to be even more painful for her than death.

When they saw a jujube-red horse trotting by in front of their eyes, the eyes of all the conspirators lit up.

In this rural area, it was rare to see horse riders, let alone a fashionable and pretty young girl on horseback, with a delicate-looking young boy sitting in front of her.
