Reborn as a capitalist's young master in the 1970s, he starts his life by being blocked at the

"Looks like being too handsome isn't a good thing after all; it's exhausting."

These are Chen Jianming's true feelings.

"Brother Jianming, aren't you going to let me in?" Shen Cui raised an eyebrow and gave him a flirtatious wink.

"Please come in, please come in."

Chen Jianming snapped out of his daze and quickly stepped aside to invite her into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Shen Cui bolted the door shut!

She turned around and stared at Chen Jianming with her two big, watery eyes.

"Please sit down."

Chen Jianming felt a surge of emotion, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

"Brother Jianming, I've been thinking about you ever since we last met. To tell you the truth, I've fallen for you."

There were only the two of them in the room. Shen Cui didn't hold back and simply let go of her inhibitions. She grabbed Chen Jianming's arm and rubbed it against his breasts.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Chen Jianming was secretly pleased, but he took a few steps back.

He has extensive experience in this area; when dealing with a vixen like Shen Cui, one must not rush things.

Shen Cui bit her lip, feeling uneasy and even doubting her own charm.

She's been so proactive; most people would have been won over by now.

Is this guy really so unmoved by a woman in his lap?

"Brother Jianming, am I not good-looking?"

Shen Cui was not giving up and pressed herself against him again, her voice so sweet it was sickening.

"It's alright, but I just feel like this isn't quite right."

Chen Jianming appeared to be a virtuous gentleman, but he was secretly pleased.

Shen Cui's body was limp, as if she had no bones. Even with his strong willpower, he was almost unable to withstand being so close.

Especially those two mounds, big and plump, white and soft, he really wanted to knead them!

"What's wrong with that! Humph, you have to comply today whether you like it or not, or I'll tell Yang Yu and the others that you're not being honest with me."

Shen Cui was extremely frustrated. Seeing that her gentle approach wasn't working, she had no choice but to resort to force.

The men in the forest farm fawned over her, but she didn't even glance at them.

Even though she was so proactive with Chen Jianming, she still kept getting rejected!

"Alright then! But you can't tell anyone else..." Chen Jianming said, half-heartedly.

Shen Cui felt something was off, but before she could think about it, Chen Jianming had already swept her up in his arms...

Down the mountain lies Huai Shu Village.

Clutching a letter in her hand, Tian Jiangyue excitedly knocked on the door of the female educated youth dormitory.

As soon as she entered the room, she exclaimed impatiently, "Sisters, a letter has arrived from the city! Huh? Where's Zhou Ya?"

"It seems she went to Aunt Liu's house to deliver something!"

"Really, Sister Jiang Yue? That's wonderful!"

"Quickly, see what the letter says!"

The female educated youth all gathered around, looking at Tian Jiangyue expectantly.

"It's almost certainly true. I've already checked the letter; it says that after a while, we should be able to go back!"

Tian Jiangyue's voice betrayed her undisguised excitement.

Mingzi was telling the truth; she finally wouldn't have to spend her whole life living a widowed life in this small, run-down village.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He would never have to put up with that old geezer Wang Mancang's glares again.

"When we get back to the city, I'm definitely going to have a big meal. I've been dreaming about the pastries from Guilanzhai."

"I want to eat a braised pork knuckle."

"All you two do is eat!"

"I haven't seen my mom in so long, I wonder how she's doing, sob..."

The female educated youths read the letter, chattering excitedly among themselves.

After enduring so much hardship for so long, some people's eyes welled up with tears on the spot.

They had given up hope, but to their surprise, they actually received a reply.

However, none of them noticed that a figure had silently hidden under the window and overheard the conversation inside.

"This could be an opportunity."

Beneath the windowsill, the figure stroked his chin, his small eyes gleaming in the darkness.

After chatting with the female educated youth for a while about what they would do after returning to the city, Tian Jiangyue left.

"When Zhou Ya comes back, tell her so she can be happy too."

Before leaving, she didn't forget to give a few more instructions to the female educated youth.

"However, you must not let anyone know, to avoid any complications. Just pretend nothing happened for now."

She was in a great mood; she was finally going to leave this wretched place.

"I just wonder how Mingzi is doing? Heiyu Mountain is so remote, with a lack of food and clothing. He must have suffered a lot."

As Tian Jiangyue walked, she thought of Chen Jianming and decided to take some food to visit him in the mountains before leaving.

Completely unaware, a figure was quietly following behind her.

As she rounded a corner, the figure suddenly rushed forward and blocked her path.

"Who?"

Tian Jiangyue was lost in thought when she was startled and almost bumped into the man.

The figure smiled and emerged from the darkness: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, it's me."

It turned out to be Erlaizi, the village's scoundrel, who usually stole chickens and dogs and did nothing good.

Tian Jiangyue glared at the other person and said irritably, "You scoundrel, why are you blocking my way? Do you want to get scolded?"

"hey-hey!"

Erlaizi, dressed in a patched and tattered cotton-padded jacket, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Sister-in-law, you don't want Uncle Wang to know about our trip back to the city, do you?"

Tian Jiangyue was startled and quickly denied it: "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by going back to the city?"

Er Laizi stepped forward, his tone laced with threat: "Don't play dumb, I know everything. Sister-in-law, I've never been with a woman before. If you give me some pleasure, I promise I'll keep this a secret and not tell anyone. Otherwise, hmph!"

He doesn't usually do anything good. This time, he originally planned to peep at the female educated youth changing clothes, but he didn't expect to hear such explosive news.

After a little thought, he decided to threaten Tian Jiangyue.

With Tian Jiangyue's beauty, she was one of the most beautiful young wives in the village. He had been envious of her for a long time, and today he finally had the chance.

Tian Jiangyue panicked and kept backing away.

Despite all our precautions, this scoundrel still found out!

If Wang Mancang finds out about this, she can forget about ever returning to the city.

That old man will never let her go so easily!

"Hehe, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll definitely take good care of you. Come on, let me have a kiss."

Erlaizi rubbed his hands together, his face was dark and grimy, as if he hadn't washed it for days, and his neck was covered in mud. He looked impatient and tried to hug Tian Jiangyue right away.

Tian Jiangyue felt nauseous and kept backing away. She'd rather die than let this scoundrel touch her.

"Who goes there? What do you want?"

Just then, someone walked over shouting.

Tian Jiangyue glanced over and saw that it was Zhou Ya. She quickly ran over and stood with her.

"Sister Jiang Yue?"

Zhou Ya was a little confused, but didn't ask any further questions. She stared at Er Laizi and said, "Er Laizi, what do you want to do? If you don't get out of here, I'll scream!"

"Sister-in-law, you'd better think carefully about the consequences. I'll be waiting for you at the dilapidated temple behind the village tomorrow night. If you don't come, you'll be in trouble."

Seeing the newcomer, Er Laizi became a little timid and fled after leaving behind a threatening remark.
