Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"I really have to go, I have things to do at home!" Qin Meiru was so anxious that cold sweat was pouring down her forehead, and she wanted to rush out of the office and escape.

Uncle Zeng, standing to the side, calmly advised, "Wait a moment, finish your water before you leave..."

Chang Kun pushed open the wooden door to his office and was greeted by this very scene.

In an instant, their eyes met, each with a different expression.

Chang Kun raised his eyebrows.

Qin Meiru? What's she doing here!

He glanced at Lü Jiawei to the side and understood.

This woman used some unknown means, but even breaking off the engagement and demanding a higher dowry didn't make Lü Jiawei give up on her.

Qin Meiru stared wide-eyed at the handsome man who walked in.

If it weren't for my mother, I would have married him long ago and become a true city dweller.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. Even though she regretted it later, the man never gave her another chance.

At this moment, she was on a blind date with someone else and happened to run into this man. It wasn't just an awkward situation; she was also afraid that he would exaggerate and tell Lü Jiawei all the unpleasant things about her family.

At that time, even if Lü Jiawei was still lusting after her beauty, he probably wouldn't marry her.

The thought of this filled me with fear, like a tidal wave threatening to overwhelm me.

She didn't even notice that there was a woman standing behind Chang Kun, and the two were holding hands.

Cheng Min peeked out and saw Qin Meiru; a playful smile appeared on her face.

"Huh—you are...you are Qin...Meiru?"

Qin Meiru then noticed Cheng Min, her eyes glazed over for a moment, and then a hint of hatred appeared on her face.

This is the woman!

The two had met twice before in Chang Kun's hometown, and at that time they knew that this woman was her greatest enemy.

However, to his surprise, all his methods were useless. Chang Kun soon went to work in the city, and his whole family went to the city as well.

When we met again, everything had changed.

Judging from the way Chang Kun and this woman looked, they were obviously already married, and all his previous thoughts had become a joke.

At this moment, all she could plead was that they shouldn't ruin her marriage with Lü Jiawei.

Thinking of this, her eyes softened, and she gave Cheng Min a fawning smile, her expression revealing a hint of pleading.

Chang Kun watched this scene with amusement, a half-smile on his face.

The more miserable his family was in his past life, the more he hated Qin Meiru now.

Turning to Lü Jiawei, she asked, "Xiao Lü, is this your blind date?"

Lu Jiawei hadn't quite grasped what was happening yet, and nodded with a silly grin.

Old Zeng and Lei Guohong, both seasoned veterans, had already sensed something was amiss.

Not only was Qin Meiru acting strangely, but Chang Kun and Cheng Min, who had just entered the room, also seemed to have something wrong with their expressions.

They exchanged a glance, sat down at the desk, took a sip of tea, and waited to see what would happen.

"Xiao Lü, I remember telling you the day before yesterday that this Qin family always goes back on their word after accepting the betrothal gifts. Aren't you afraid?"

It turns out that Chang Kun had revealed his plan to increase the bride price!

No wonder Lu Jiawei found out so quickly!

Qin Meiru's heart was pounding in her chest, and she secretly concealed the hatred in her eyes.

Their past is in the past, and now that she's on another blind date, Chang Kun is secretly sabotaging it!

If Lü Jiawei hadn't been there, she would have loved to start cursing.

Fortunately, she proposed not to ask for a bride price, which dispelled Lü Jiawei's doubts.

Sure enough, Lü Jiawei turned to look at Qin Meiru, scratched his head, and said, "Um... Meiru said her family doesn't want a bride price."

Chang Kun was stunned when he heard this.

In his previous life, the Qin family accepted eight yuan as a bride price from his family, but later changed their minds and asked for an additional ten yuan and ten catties of pork, which led to his father breaking his leg in the mountains.

At this time, in order to move to the city, the Qin family actually refused to pay a single penny of betrothal gifts.

What an irony!

Cheng Min, standing next to her, stared wide-eyed. She had never heard of a family that didn't ask for a bride price when marrying off their daughter.

The bride price isn't just about the amount of money; it represents the face of the girl's family.

If there is no bride price, the girl will have no face to show for the rest of her life after marrying into her husband's family.

Even if a family is poor and struggling, giving two steamed buns as a bride price is a token of goodwill.

It's truly baffling how the Qin family could possibly forgo a bride price.

Lao Zeng and Lei Guohong also fell silent.

If a woman whose son is set up with doesn't ask for a dowry, her first thought would be, "Is there something wrong with this girl?"

But then I thought about it again. The Qin family had a history of accepting betrothal gifts and then going back on their word. If they didn't do this, the Lü family would probably be suspicious.

It can only be said that the Qin family went to great lengths to marry into the city.

Qin Meiru raised her eyebrows, feeling a little smug.

Even if her family made mistakes before, she directly stated that she didn't want a bride price when she went on a blind date with Lü Jiawei. Surely she has finally gained the trust of Lü Jiawei's family.

For a moment, everyone in the office fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was off, Lü Jiawei laughed again and said, "Meiru's family is very nice. This morning she even brought me some cornbread. It looked delicious."

Following Lü Jiawei's gaze, Chang Kun saw the golden cornbread on the desk.

He immediately had a question in his mind.

Everyone in the office, whether it was Lei Guohong, Lao Zeng, Monkey Brother, Xiao Yu, or even Cheng Min, only had a slight understanding of how hard life was in the countryside these days.

What they didn't know was that people in rural areas nowadays can't even get enough to eat from sawdust made from corn cobs, let alone these authentic cornbreads.

Lu Jiawei even naively thought that the cornbread was something his future mother-in-law had saved from her own meals and asked Qin Meiru to bring it to him as a way of showing her goodwill.

Qin Meiru's expression tightened, and she felt uneasy.

Why does this Lü Jiawei talk so much? Why does he bring up cornbread all of a sudden?

Others may not know the current conditions of ordinary rural people, but how could Chang Kun not know?

Be careful not to give yourself away!

She kept her head bowed tightly, praying silently.

Because he was going on a long trip by train today, Chang Kun did not turn on the system sensor.

Upon seeing ten corn tortillas on the desk, and with some doubt in mind, he immediately activated his sensor to investigate.

As expected! He sneered inwardly!

The system detected Qin Meiru's location, which was indeed displayed as a red dot.

I felt that these cornbreads were not so simple. At this time, the autumn harvest had not yet begun, and there was no new corn being produced in the countryside. Where did these cornbreads come from?

Moreover, even if the brigade collectively had corn during the autumn harvest, each household wouldn't get much, so they couldn't afford to make pure cornbread to eat.

The Qin family lived in the countryside and had no contact with other places, so they could only steal corn from the brigade.

"Xiao Lü, is this cornbread delicious?" Chang Kun was too lazy to waste words with Qin Meiru and looked directly at Lü Jiawei.

"I haven't eaten it yet, but judging from this, it won't taste bad."

Chang Kun sneered, "It's a good thing you didn't eat any! Judging from my opinion, I don't know where those cornbreads came from!"

Lü Jiawei was taken aback: "This... Chang Kun, what does this mean?"

"What do you mean? You'll have to ask your blind date. Go to her neighborhood committee and see if they've lost any corn recently! Especially corn seeds!"

Qin Meiru was struck dumb, her face turned deathly pale, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the floor by the desk.
