Chapter 76
Su Xiaoxiao hadn’t even recovered her senses when the back of her head was firmly gripped by a large palm. The man’s pleasant breath magnified entirely. This time, his kiss was a bit wild and unrestrained, like a hungry beast in the dark.
With so many things to take care of earlier, he had to suppress the fear and despair of falling off the cliff. Now, it all burst out at once. Su Xiaoxiao could initially go along with it, but gradually she was pushed back step by step. If it weren’t for her struggling, she even felt like she was about to be devoured.
But the rising temperature, along with the sound of blood flowing in her eardrums, made Jiang Yexun’s pounding heart even more intense. At one point, he felt that his love for the little educated youth was about to overflow. However, he was overwhelmed by his love, while Su Xiaoxiao struggled to keep up with the rhythm.
Retreating step by step didn’t work, and in the end, she could only make a crying, almost desperate sound. Jiang Yexun could only reluctantly let her go. His large palm gently smoothed out the messy strands of hair on the young girl. Finally, he tenderly kissed her slightly swollen lips.
Feeling the pain, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but complain, “You’re so fierce.”
Then, she glanced at her man with a trace of grievance and hugged him tighter. Her eyes, deep and charming, were captivating.
Jiang Yexun, still catching his breath, suddenly became more agitated. He raised his hand and gently covered the girl’s almost maddening eyes.
“We will always be together,” Jiang Yexun murmured with a hoarse voice, sounding like both a question and a promise.
“Of course! Whoever tries to separate us, we’ll beat them!” Su Xiaoxiao replied crisply.
The corners of her mouth lifted, and Jiang Yexun’s heart finally returned to its rightful place.
The two of them embraced for a while, and he reluctantly put the girl on the cart. Su Xiaoxiao clung to his waist and wanted to hug him for a little longer. They dawdled for nearly twenty minutes before Jiang Yexun finally pushed the cart again.
With their lively chatter, the two-hour journey passed quickly. Jiang Yexun escorted Su Xiaoxiao to the outskirts of the educated youth dormitory, leaving her with several reminders before heading to the homes of the other three.
Things went smoothly with Zhang Tiewa and Luo Shanzhu’s families. However, when he arrived at He Xingzhi’s home, Jiang Yexun became furious.
“Hey, Jiang, don’t you have any conscience? Xingzhi got injured so badly, and you only gave this little money?” Xiang Hongmei complained with a pinched voice.
But Jiang Yexun didn’t bother wasting words on her and directly turned to Old He.
“Are you coming or not? If not, I’m leaving,” he asked coldly.
Old He glanced at his wife, who immediately gave him a fierce glare. He hurriedly shook his head.
“Alright!” Jiang Yexun sneered and turned around.
Seeing him about to leave, Xiang Hongmei, who had wanted to take advantage of the situation, said in a hurry, “Wait, Jiang, you are so impatient. When did we say we wouldn’t go? Of course we’ll go; after all, he’s He’s son.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Jiang Yexun replied impatiently, without turning back.
Although Xiang Hongmei was furious, she didn’t dare to confront Jiang Yexun and could only push her husband.
She didn’t care about the child left behind by her husband’s ex-wife. She even wished he would die sooner. This way, all the possessions in the He’s family would belong to her own son.
However, she was afraid that if they stayed at home, this brat would keep that two hundred to himself.
“When you go there, you must take a good look. If Xingzhi’s leg gets any worse, and he ends up lame, not to mention not finding a wife, it will also be inconvenient for him to work. You don’t need to rush back. After all, the hospital is better than our home, and if there are any problems, the doctor can take care of them at any time,” Xiang Hongmei nagged incessantly.
She thought she was being subtle, but anyone with common sense could understand her intentions.
Jiang Yexun couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and left since he believed He Xingzhi could handle it himself. After packing a couple of sets of clothes, they went to find the master of the production team who had a cattle cart. After spending some money, they got him to help them get to the city.
After they left, Xiang Hongmei rolled her eyes and immediately went to the educated youth dormitory. Su Xiaoxiao had just finished bathing and was sitting in the yard drying her hair when she saw an unfamiliar aunt walking in, wearing a forced smile on her face.
“Educated Youth Su, I’m Xingzhi’s mother. You and Xingzhi know each other, right? He’s usually inseparable from your man.”
“I don’t know him.” Su Xiaoxiao’s face instantly darkened. She wanted to return to her room, but Xiang Hongmei followed her, wearing a hesitant expression.
“What do you want?” Su Xiaoxiao stopped and glared at the visitor without hiding her irritation. She was too tired to eat dinner and just wanted to wash up and go to bed. Now she was being delayed by someone for no reason, so how could she have a good mood?
“You see, Xingzhi was following your man to hunt, and he broke his leg. Those men didn’t understand anything, and they only compensated us with two hundred yuan. But this injury affects his bones and muscles, and he needs at least a hundred days of rest. Xingzhi used to do the work of ten work points in one day. Without him, our whole family won’t have enough to eat. You and your man aren’t short of money, and you spent several hundred yuan just to get married. Can you help us out a little more?” Xiang Hongmei spoke as if she was very wronged.
If you didn’t pay attention to the amount of money and just listened to her, you’d think they only got two yuan.
