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

Chapter 157 Erqiangzi Reports the News

Rumors that the two people had been kidnapped and raped spread like wildfire.

Ji Shuyin hasn't gone out for the past two days because she doesn't want to face the pointing fingers and whispers.

There was no valuable information from the educated youth dormitory either.

On this sunny day, she was idly sunbathing in the yard.

A person appeared at the door. Since the door was closed, only the head could be seen. The person was looking around.

"Ji Zhiqing, Ji Zhiqing, come here?"

The other person saw her and called out softly, which she could hear.

Ji Shuyin was a little confused, but she recognized the person as Erqiangzi from the team.

This person doesn't usually like working, and his family isn't wealthy; he's basically the kind of person who idles away his time.

She wasn't sure if the other person wanted to see her, so she went to the door.

However, the door remained closed.

"What's with you?"

The other party was somewhat dissatisfied upon hearing this.

"Something's up, but it's a really good thing. Open the door, it's not convenient to talk like this."

Ji Shuyin frowned, feeling annoyed by the other person's tattered clothes and sleazy appearance.

"Just say what's on your mind."

Erqiangzi knew his own character and wasn't angry.

“Ji Zhiqing, don’t be afraid, I’m here to deliver a message.”

"Report a message? What do you mean?"

"That's Chen Baoqin, Chen Baosheng's sister. You should remember her."

Hearing this name made her feel somewhat down.

Every time I run into these two siblings, nothing good ever comes of it.

"Hmm, tell me, what's wrong with her?"

Erqiangzi looked around, then looked at her mysteriously.

“I just went to town to find my brother and saw the Chen family’s wedding procession.”

They did live in town, and there was nothing particularly special about bumping into each other.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Upon hearing this, Erqiangzi became somewhat anxious.

"How can it not concern you? They organized so many people, a huge procession, so I just asked one more question."

They said they were coming to our production team to fetch a bride, but I haven't heard of anyone in the team getting married. Otherwise, I would have gone to ask for candy already.

This is a custom in rural areas; even when a daughter is getting married, the family still prepares food for the guests.

At this time, children usually ask for candy or something.

Even those who have nothing to do visit every single time.

The host family is just looking for good luck, so even if they don't like it, they won't refuse to give it to them or make things difficult for them.

Ji Shuyin kept looking at him, and Erqiangzi was a little embarrassed, so he quickly revealed another shocking piece of news.

Do you know who they're marrying off?

What a joke! How could she possibly know?
"Who is it? Just say it."

"Chen Baosheng, it's actually Chen Baosheng."

It was him! This is unbelievable.

Are you sure it's Chen Baosheng?

Erqiangzi was quite confident about this.

"Of course, my brother would never lie to me; he's the town's know-it-all."

“But Chen Baosheng isn’t in the county commune, and as far as I know, he won’t be coming out anytime soon.”

If he broke his promise and used his connections to get back, that would be a big deal.

"He hasn't come out yet, but that doesn't stop him from getting married, does it?"

She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"You're not back yet, and you're still getting married? Are you sure?" Erqiangzi saw her expression and gave a mysterious smile.

"Just watch what's going on with the Chen family. There's more to come!"
"Now guess again, who is this bride?"

Since it was Chen Baoqin who was in charge, and Chen Baosheng wasn't there, bringing a wife back was either to save face or to intimidate the woman.

Then the bride must have had a conflict with them.

Looking at the entire Liushuyazi production team, the only ones who had a grudge against Chen Baosheng were her and Huang Chunjing.

"So, you came here to see me?"

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately gave her a thumbs up.

"As expected of a knowledgeable person, you guessed it right away."

Besides you, it could also be Huang, the educated youth.

"Haha, they dare to show up at the bride's house without telling her, it's really funny."

Although that's what she said, she was also weighing the options in her heart.

On the other side, Erqiangzi seemed a little anxious.

"Oh dear, you're mistaken. In our town, the Chen family is the most powerful."

If they want you, you have to go even if it means taking them by force.

They made such a big fuss just to shut others up.

You wouldn't believe it, but a few years ago, Chen Baosheng took a fancy to a young girl, but her parents didn't want to.

They hastily married her off, hoping things would finally settle down.

But the Chen family wouldn't stand for it. On the wedding day, they went straight to the groom's house and kidnapped the bride.

What? Such a thing actually happened? This has really broadened her horizons.

"So crazy, and they're willing to accept it?"

"What could the girl do if she didn't want to? She was forced into it and eventually jumped into the river."

The girl's older brother went to the county town to file a complaint, but then disappeared.

Everyone says he was killed, but he's nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.

Ji Shuyin was truly astonished; she never expected that such an explosive thing could happen in a place like this.

"What about the rest of her family? We'll just leave them be?"

Even Erqiangzi, who was usually carefree and irresponsible, looked somewhat sad.

"What else can we do? We've already lost two children. Are we going to let our youngest son die too?"

"The Chen family really is a thorn in our side!"

Ji Shuyin narrowed her eyes, thinking about many things.

"What is the Chen family? The Wei family is the real local tyrant, they're just not as domineering as them."

Yes, the reason why the Chen siblings are so unscrupulous is mostly because of their relationship with Captain Wei.

But since they are family members, their own brothers, it's a completely different story.

After Erqiangzi finished speaking, he quickly changed the subject, and his words became more urgent.

"Hey, Ji Zhiqing, you still have the leisure to worry about others!"

If we keep talking, the Chen family might arrive.

I ran back from town, almost losing my life, just to deliver the news to you. And you've let my good intentions go to waste!

"You came all the way back?"

Faced with the question, Erqiangzi nodded decisively, and casually wiped away imaginary beads of sweat.

Ji Shuyin understood that this person was the type who wouldn't act without a reason.

Since they're so eager to claim credit, they must be trying to gain some benefit from it.

In the Liushuyazi production team, Gu Yuncheng had officially repaid her a considerable amount of money.

If he were an ordinary poor person, do you think he would still be so kind?

"Then I really thank you."

"Could you do me another favor?"

As he spoke, he pulled two ten-yuan bills out of his pocket.

The next second, Erqiangzi's eyes lit up.
