Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 4 Double Blow

"Yes, of course I'm willing!" The surprise came a little too suddenly. Sheng Zexi had a big smile on his lips when he realized what was happening. But he was afraid that Gu Jianing would see it, so he quickly suppressed the smile and got up and paced back and forth in the room for a while before sitting down.

"I'm so good, and I'm an officer. Anyone with eyes can see that I should be chosen. You've finally seen the truth this time."

Gu Jianing: This person is a good person, but his mouth is really too sharp.

Sheng Zexi continued to feed her until Gu Jianing ate all the sweet wine boiled eggs.

Whether it was from taking painkillers or eating the sweet wine-boiled eggs, Gu Jianing's stomach no longer hurt, and her complexion wasn't as pale.

"I'm leaving now. Wait for me tomorrow." He came secretly and wasn't going to stay long.

With his rough, large hand, Sheng Zexi gently stroked Gu Jianing's hair, who was already lying down. Just as he had come, he jumped out of the window and left quietly.

Gu Jianing stared at the window that had been closed again for a long time before finally looking away.

Sheng Zexi did not leave immediately. He stared in the direction of the educated youth settlement, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

As evening fell and everyone finished work, Wen Zhuqing limped back to the educated youth settlement, his handsome face filled with gloom.

At noon, he was beaten up. A sack fell from the sky, and before he could fight back, he was attacked with punches and kicks. By the time he broke free of the sack, there was no one around.

Who will beat him up?

Considering Gu Jianing's suicide by jumping into the river today, and the personalities of the Gu family members, Wen Zhuqing pinpointed one person: Gu Yunzhou, the third son of the Gu family, who is known for his volatile temper, strong fists, and fierce protectiveness!
When Wen Zhuqing touched the corner of his eye, a stinging sensation shot through him. He gasped, his eyes narrowing slightly. Once he got Gu Yunting's job, he wouldn't let Gu Yunzhou get away with it!
Thinking that Gu Jianing might not be able to see him again until the day after tomorrow to give him the job, Wen Zhuqing found himself in a secluded place, all alone. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling. As it turned out, Wen Zhuqing's premonition was correct. In an instant, another sack fell from the sky, and he was then beaten up again.

I don't know how much time passed, but the beating stopped, and there was no sound. It seemed that the person had left.

After struggling for a long time, Wen Zhuqing finally broke free of the sack and breathed in the fresh air, feeling as if she had finally come back to life.

His handsome face was now swollen and bluish-purple, resembling a pig's head, and his former handsome appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Wen Zhuqing was absolutely certain that the person was jealous of his good looks, and almost every punch was aimed at his face.

After a while, Wen Zhuqing leaned against a big tree and managed to stand up. Her body and face ached all over.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes were sinister.

Who is it this time?

He was certain it wasn't Gu Yunzhou. Then who could it be? Was it someone else from the Gu family, or someone else from the educated youth settlement who was jealous of him?

Wen Zhuqing wasn't even sure if the person was a man or a woman; there were no footsteps, not even a sound.

Don't let him know who it is, otherwise...

Wen Zhuqing forced himself to return to the educated youth settlement, and the people there gasped when they saw his miserable state.

When asked by others, he only said that he had accidentally fallen and injured himself, and then intentionally or unintentionally brought it up to Gu Yunzhou.

There were quite a few female educated youths in the settlement who liked Wen Zhuqing, and they were immediately indignant.

"It must be that third son of the Gu family who took out his anger at Gu Jianing for jumping into the river on you," Zhao Weihong guessed, clenching her fists and keeping a straight face.

“It’s clearly Gu Jianing who keeps bothering you and making you suffer. She even brought this on herself by jumping into the river. The villagers blame Wen Zhiqing. How could Wen Zhiqing possibly force Gu Jianing to take the job of the eldest son of the Gu family?”

In Zhao Weihong's heart, Wen Zhuqing was gentle and refined, good-looking, and had a kind and considerate personality. He was also from Shanghai and came from a good family, making him the perfect husband. Even though Zhao Weihong looked like a tomboy and had a rough voice, she fell in love with him after he gave her a steamed bun, and from then on, she always protected him.

Whether it was the educated youth settlement or Huaihua Village, countless women admired Wen, the educated youth.

But Wen, the educated youth, said that he came to the countryside to build a new rural area and did not want to find a partner or get married so quickly.

Zhao Weihong felt that Wen Zhiqing was not only good-looking and had a good personality, but also had a high level of ideological awareness, which made her like her even more.

Of all the people who liked Wen Zhuqing, the one she disliked the most was Gu Jianing.

Always relying on his father being the village chief, he would frequently come to the educated youth settlement to harass Wen, who was too kind-hearted and didn't know how to refuse. He was afraid of hurting people's feelings, so Gu Jianing became more and more demanding.

She was afraid that Wen Zhiqing would end up with Gu Jianing because of public pressure.

Li Juan, with her two braids and pretty face, came in carrying a basin of water. "Wen, use this water to wipe yourself down, wash your face, and then apply the medicine."

Seemingly hearing Zhao Weihong's indignation, she said, "We educated youth are the weak in the village. We can't resist the villagers at all. We have to do whatever they say. We can only suffer."

As she spoke, she casually brought up another matter, "By the way, I heard something. It seems that a matchmaker came to Huaihua Village today, saying that someone was going to meet Gu Jianing, and Gu Jianing agreed."

Wen Zhuqing, who was leaning against the bed, glanced at the bed and frowned slightly before relaxing her brows.

It's probably fake.

Wen Zhuqing knew perfectly well how Gu Jianing had devoted herself entirely to him. She had even jumped into the river for him today, all to get a job, please him, and date him. How could she possibly agree to date someone else in the blink of an eye?

The female educated youths didn't dare to confront the Gu family about Wen Zhuqing being beaten. They secretly harbored some thoughts. Wen Zhuqing was currently unwell, and it was their time to show their abilities. They were determined to take good care of Wen Zhuqing, leave a good impression on him, and build closer relationships and feelings.
-
In the evening, Sheng Zexi drove back to the hotel in town from Huaihua Village.

Lying on the bed with her hands behind her head, her slender figure almost filled the two-meter-long bed. Her straight, long legs were casually crossed, exuding a lazy and relaxed air. Turning her head, her gaze fell on the bag of gifts she had prepared in advance on the cabinet. Recalling her time with Gu Jianing during the day, the corners of her pursed lips curled up slightly, and her phoenix eyes shone brightly.

As if thinking of something, Sheng Zexi lowered his brows and eyes again.

He could tell that Gu Jianing probably really liked that Wen Zhiqing before.

But now, she has changed her attitude and is willing to give it a try with him.

"Wen Zhuqing, pretty boy!" Sheng Zexi muttered, his teeth clenched, jealousy spreading like thorns, countless sharp thorns piercing his heart.

Sheng Zexi took a deep breath and calmed down a bit.

He knew that Gu Jianing didn't really like him, or rather, she only had a good impression of him.

But, it doesn't matter.

All he needs to do now is seize the opportunity to meet Gu Jianing, get her married to him as soon as possible, bring her to the army, and keep her firmly by his side.

Once she becomes his person, he is absolutely confident that one day he will take root in that silly girl Gu Jianing's heart, grow into a towering tree, and then kick that dog named Zhu Qing or Ju Qing out.

Ha, what kind of good person could incite that stupid girl to jump into the river in the dead of winter just to get a job? Giving him a beating today is just collecting interest first.

Just ...

We'll talk about his health tomorrow. I wonder what the girl and the Gu family will think, and whether they'll reject him?
