Chapter 439: Chapter 438: The Method of Escape

Zhang Xiaoshan hastily denied it.

"No, not at all," he stammered.

"Mr. Xu, your home is perfectly fine, so why are you returning to the school?"

Zhang Xiaoshan feigned ignorance.

Under the table, Xu Jing stealthily kicked Zhang Xiaoshan, but her face bore a sweet smile as she spoke to Yu Xiuxiu.

"Sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaoshan. It was my own decision. I am preparing for the graduate school entrance exam, and several students have been falling behind in their grades recently. Living at home and commuting back and forth takes up a lot of time. If I stay at school, I can help the children with extra lessons in the afternoon and spend more time studying at night," Xu Jing explained.

Hearing this, Yu Xiushu nodded.

"Preparing for graduate school, huh? You do need a quiet place for that. All right, let Little Shan move your things to school after dinner," she said.

"Okay," Xu Jing nodded, and they all continued to eat.

Yu Xiuxiu stealthily glanced at Xu Jing out of the corner of her eye.

What an ambitious and good kid. If Little Shan could marry Xu Jing, their future days would certainly be good.

At this moment, she was even more determined to give up her feelings for Zhang Xiaoshan and embrace the idea of Xu Jing becoming their family’s daughter-in-law.

After the meal, Zhang Xiaoshan carried the luggage and walked towards the school with Xu Jing.

"When did you become so skilled at telling lies without even blushing?"

Zhang Xiaoshan teased Xu Jing.

Xu Jing simply smiled proudly.

"Isn’t it all thanks to you? After spending so much time with you, I’ve naturally picked up a thing or two. Even a little bit of your craft is enough for me to benefit for a lifetime," she said.

As their relationship grew closer, their conversations became more natural and relaxed.

Even though Zhang Xiaoshan had not yet agreed to be with her, Xu Jing had already decided in her heart that she was his girlfriend.

"Are you really going to apply for graduate school?"

"Yeah, why don’t you apply too?" she suggested.

"Let’s skip it. What does a village doctor need such high qualifications for?" Zhang Xiaoshan said dismissively.

The two chatted sporadically as they walked.

After arriving at the school, Zhang Xiaoshan placed the belongings on the bed.

"Okay, sort your things out by yourself, I’m leaving," he said.

"Hang on, I have something to tell you," Xu Jing stopped him.

Zhang Xiaoshan stood still.

Yu Xiuxiu looked around outside anxiously.

It was Saturday and the children were not in class. There were hardly any people around.

Then she said to Zhang Xiaoshan,

"You saved Wei Bao’s woman, and you let Zhang Ercai’s woman escape. Can’t you help the other women too?"

Zhang Xiaoshan replied with some helplessness,

"Haven’t I explained this to you already? I cannot just openly send people away. That would be a severe violation of White Dragon Village’s rules. You’ve seen yourself the nearly murderous intent of the villagers at Zhang Ercai’s place last time."

"Wu Damming, the village chief, and I are at loggerheads now. He’s always looking for ways to deal with me. If he catches a hold on me, do you want to see my sister-in-law and me homeless, or would you like to see our family’s ancestral grave getting dug up?"

"Oh, I know you’re in a difficult position, but I have come up with a good plan. It ensures that you can help those women leave without anyone noticing," she insisted.

"Trust me, it’s foolproof," she affirmed.

Zhang Xiaoshan gestured with his eyes for Xu Jing to continue.

Xu Jing went on,

"Didn’t you say you swam and took Zhang Ercai’s woman away last time?"

"Yes, but that’s only if the woman herself can swim well. Otherwise, it’s impossible for me to bring her across alone," he said.

"What if there’s a bigger swim ring?" Xu Jing inquired tentatively.

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately shook his head.

"Stop kidding. Swim rings are banned in White Dragon Village. If I were to bring that thing back, as soon as a woman goes missing, whether it was me or not, I’d be blamed for it," he said.

"Dummy, why do you have to buy a swim ring? As long as it serves the function, that’s all that matters," she chided.

"Do you know about car inner tubes, the ones from big trucks?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Xu Jing’s suggestion, Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Xu Jing murmured to herself,

"Last week when I was home, I saw these truck inner tubes at an auto repair shop. Once deflated, they’re not too big and easy to carry. Inflation is simple too, and once inflated, they could not only be used as swim rings but even as small boats."

"Buy several inner tubes and hide them at the ferry on the opposite side of the village. Bring one each day in a backpack. With six or seven tied together with rope, then covered with a wooden plank on top, it’d be like a makeshift lifeboat," she explained.

"Sending off five or six women at once would be no issue."

Listening to Xu Jing’s idea, Zhang Xiaoshan was so excited he almost slapped his thigh.

He had promised to help Tao Qian and Hu Qiaoling leave within a month.

He was still pondering how to proceed, and now the solution had presented itself, hadn’t it?

Xu Jing’s idea was truly ingenious.

Zhang Xiaoshan felt like kissing her charming little face.

But he didn’t want to involve Xu Jing too much.

So he said in a neutral tone,

"Your idea might work. Wait, let me think about it."

"You go ahead and unpack. I’ll leave now and get back to you once I’ve made up my mind," he said, preparing to leave.

"Can’t you stay with me a little longer?" Xu Jing complained.

"What if someone comes to the infirmary looking for help? I still collect a public salary, so I have to perform my duties diligently," Zhang Xiaoshan made up an excuse and ran off.

"Hmph, Zhang Xiaoshan, you big liar! You said that after I moved out, we would have more chances to be alone. I see that you’re just purposely distancing yourself," she called out after him, but Zhang Xiaoshan had already sprinted out of sight.

...

Zhang Xiaoshan sat in the infirmary for the whole morning, but no one came.

He thought about Xu Jing’s idea as he sat in the chair.

With his current strength, towing a small boat carrying five or six people across the river would be no problem.

And he was planning to take Wu Yong and his mother to withdraw money tomorrow; he could stop by the auto shop then.

"Little Shan!"

Just as he was engrossed in his plans, a woman’s voice called out from the doorway.

Looking up, damn!

He was absolutely stunned.

There was Su Xiang Mei, swaying her hips, holding a vegetable basket, and walking in with a cheerful smile. Now, there was clearly no escape.
