She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 122 Zhou Chaoyang's overtures
I heard that he has been actively participating in labor recently in order to change people's bad impression of him.

However, this person is just all show and no substance.

While sorting through the grain, I was hit by a stack of sacks.

Ironically, he was the one who cleared away that pile of grain.

Even if you want to find someone to take responsibility, you can't.

Right now, I'm at the clinic, and I don't know the specifics yet.

She also harvested the bok choy she had planted in the yard. There wasn't much, but it was enough for one person.

She could dry some bok choy, and also, since locals like to pickle sauerkraut, she could try that too.

Winters are long, so it's essential to stock up on enough food, including firewood.

Just then, Zhou Chaoyang arrived.

"Shuyin, let me help you."

Knowing his intentions, Ji Shuyin had no intention of owing him a favor.

"Don't get your hands dirty, it's all dirt, I'm almost done."

Although that's what she said, Zhou Chaoyang was faster and had already cut down a cabbage.

If it's too late to stop it, then saying anything more would seem deliberate.

Zhou Chaoyang smiled, his hands continuing their work.

"Shuyin, do you know about Gu Yuncheng and Tang Weiyu?"

Upon hearing this, she suddenly remembered that this person had previously said he would teach them both a lesson.

His eyes widened in surprise.

"You did it?"

No, don't misunderstand.

Even if I hate them, I won't resort to underhanded tactics.

Tang Weiyu deserved it; she thought someone was chasing her, so she panicked and twisted her ankle.

As for Gu Yuncheng, that's even more ridiculous.

He was trying to build a persona, but he tripped himself up instead. He's quite the character.

Therefore, neither of these two matters has any direct connection to him.

However, Zhou Chaoyang also had plans to deal with them, and his actions must have played a role in that.

"Zhou Zhiqing, thank you."

Actually, you don't need to deal with them for my sake.

These two are just clowns; don't waste your time on them.

She can handle it herself; her previous indulgences are all in the past.

These people are always courting death little by little.

She wanted to use Zhu Zhixiang to drag Tang Weiyu into the abyss.

Now that he's hanging out with Chen Baosheng again, I reckon he'll ruin himself without her even lifting a finger.

After thinking about it, I also find it somewhat ridiculous.

"Are you concerned about me?"

The sudden remark stunned her for a moment.

Zhou Chaoyang quickly laughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Hey, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously!"

I know you don't want to owe me a favor. Actually, it's really okay. I don't think much of those two people either.

Shuyin, please don't feel guilty!

To be honest, this person is actually quite nice.

However, I really don't have that kind of heart!

"No, I really don't think it's worth it."

Zhou Chaoyang's eyes were full of affection.

Whether it's worth it or not, I know it in my heart, so don't worry about it.

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued chopping cabbages.

This left her somewhat at a loss. Oh well, she'd deal with it later.

There wasn't much left, and the two of them finished collecting it in about ten minutes.

Seeing that everything was alright, Zhou Chaoyang prepared to leave.

"Don't rush, Zhou Zhiqing, wash your hands first."

As he spoke, he brought out the washbasin.

"Row."

It's normal to wash your hands if they're dirty.

Ji Shuyin wasn't idle either; she brought him two large cabbages, both of which were the best ones.

In addition, she added a small gourd, three tomatoes, and two eggplants. "Take these home; they're all homegrown, so don't be picky!"

Looking at the delicious vegetables, Zhou Chaoyang felt embarrassed.

"I was just helping out, I can't accept so much from you."

Ji Shuyin insisted on giving it to him; it was already packed in a small wicker basket, which was very convenient.

"It's just some vegetables, why are you being so polite? Take them, or I'll get angry."

Hearing her say that, Zhou Chaoyang stopped refusing.

On the contrary, I felt that having interacted with her was a good thing, at least we had become familiar with each other.

"Thank you very much. I'll bring the little basket back to you later."

"Well, there's no rush."

Ji Shuyin saw the person to the door before going home.

There are still many things to do, so naturally I can't be idle.

Not far away, Feng Jinghuan nudged Jiang Shi'an with his elbow.

"Look how fast he is, Shuyin has already sent him something."

Over time, wouldn't feelings develop?

Jiang Shi'an shook his head after hearing this.

"You're wrong. Giving him things is just because you don't want to owe him a favor."

Ji Shuyin's idea was very rational.

She couldn't refuse Zhou Chaoyang's pursuit, nor would she take advantage of him; she understood that.

Feng Jinghuan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"is that so?
I feel like I've found a breakthrough!
"Hey, Shi'an, wait for me!"

……

After three seasons of hard work in spring, summer and autumn, the annual distribution of grain is about to begin.

Regardless of the number of work points, everyone will receive something.

Moreover, another batch can be distributed at the end of the year.

At that time, there will also be various receipts.

Ji Shuyin didn't work long hours, but she still earned over a hundred work points, so she was quite proactive this time.

Basically, the entire village, young and old, was present.

Huang Chunjing, holding her arm, was also overjoyed.

"Our production team has so many people! I've never seen so many people even when we hold a general meeting for all team members!"

"How can that be the same? We're distributing grain today."

Some families have a lot of able-bodied people, so they need more people to come over; otherwise, how can they take it all back?

This is food, it's about having enough to eat, so it's normal that a lot of people come.

"Of course I know, I just think it's lively."

"By the way, Shuyin, how much grain do you think we'll get?"

"I really don't know."

The two were chatting, and around them were groups of people chatting in twos and threes.

Yang Leyu and Liu Qingyu also came over, heading straight for them.

"Shuyin, Chunjing, you've arrived very early."

"Qingyu, why don't you tell everyone what you saw?"

With just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to her.

Liu Qingyu didn't hide anything and pointed to a secluded spot nearby.

"Let's go talk over there."

"Row."

The four women all moved to the side.

"Didn't you tell me to observe Tang Weiyu more?"

She has been staying in the educated youth dormitory for the past two days and hasn't gone out.

I sprained my ankle, and my leg swelled up too, but it's much better these past couple of days.

However, it will take time for the problem to completely subside.

Han Xiuying and Jiang Yunsha helped her cook, and I heard they paid her two cents a day.

Sometimes, even when things are a bit harsh, neither of them dares to say anything.

They knew all of this, but Huang Chunjing didn't want to hear it.

"Then, is there anything special?"

Liu Qingyu frowned, trying hard to recall.

"Something is definitely unusual..."
