Returning to the Village

I never thought that a boy would fight with someone else for me, but it really happened. I asked Weng Chunsheng why he fought with someone else for me. He was silent for a long time before he whispered, "I like you."

I no longer remember my reaction when I heard him say this. I only remember that I fled and hid back in the dormitory. He should have been disappointed then.

Weng Chunsheng seemed to know my attitude towards him because of my actions. He never looked for me again. Even when we met at class gatherings, he stayed far away from me. His actions made my heart feel empty. My failure to respond to his confession that day had really hurt him.

During the National Day holiday, my roommates all took advantage of the long holiday to go home. I did not go back. On the first day of the National Day, I caught a cold. I thought it was just a small problem and did not pay much attention to it. But that night, I had a high fever. In a daze, I called Weng Chunsheng.

At three in the morning, he braved the heavy rain to buy me fever medicine. Then, he climbed over the railing and took care of me in my dormitory overnight. Early the next morning, he saw that my fever had subsided and quietly left.

After that night, I could no longer suppress my feelings for Weng Chunsheng. The two of us were together.

After being with me, Weng Chunsheng was still very busy, working part-time. He said that he did not want me to live a hard life with him in the future. He had always dreamed of using what he had learned to bring back to his hometown and showcase his strengths there so that the people in Weng family village could improve their lives together.

I was naturally willing to accompany him, so I paid even more attention to my major. Whenever I was free, I would even go to the library to look through all kinds of information.

After my senior year, my family found out that I had a boyfriend. My parents kept urging me to bring Weng Chunsheng home to take a look. After much consideration, I brought him home on the eve of graduation.

At first, I could tell that Mom and Dad were quite satisfied with his performance. He knew when to advance and when to retreat. That was until he told Mom and Dad that he wanted to stay in his hometown. Mom and Dad did not directly object, but I could see the disapproval in their eyes.

Before graduation, my parents not only found a stable job for me, but they also found a job for Weng Chunsheng. They saw that he was honest and sincere, so they did not object to the two of us being together. They were really the best parents in the world. They paved the way for us.

However, Weng Chunsheng's wish had always been to return to Weng family village. He rejected my parents' good intentions and still insisted on his dream. My parents were furious. Naturally, they would not agree to let me, who had grown up in a honey pot, suffer with him. They did not understand what was so good about going back to that barren village when I had a decent job in a city. They gave me an ultimatum. Either I cut ties with him and returned home, or I would follow him to Weng family village.

For the only time in my life, I did not listen to my parents' arrangements. I followed Weng Chunsheng back to the village without hesitation. Like him, I hoped to use the professional knowledge I learned in school to drive the development of his village.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked when Weng Chunsheng returned to his house. His house was at the end of the village, and the original small bungalow was on the verge of collapse. His brother had a congenital heart disease and could not do heavy work. He needed to take medicine for good. His parents were both from the countryside, and he was the hope of the family. His family was very polite to me and had already left the best room for me, but the faint moldy smell in the room was something I could not get used to for a long time.

Weng Chunsheng and I had a simple wedding ceremony. There was no white wedding dress as I had imagined. There was no company from my parents. There were only the villagers sitting together for a meal. The clothes that he and I were wearing were not even brand new. However, I had no complaints because I loved him.

We tried to raise green-shelled egg chickens in the Weng family village. These chickens were adaptable and produced a high number of eggs. The first batch was very successful. We successfully sold the green-shelled egg chickens and accumulated some savings. When the other villagers saw this, they also came to ask for advice. We did not hide anything and taught them because our original goal was to let the Weng family village thrive.

However, the villagers who were farming green-shelled chickens with us had an accident overnight. Those chickens that were about to be sold died for no reason. No matter how hard Weng Chunsheng and I searched for the reason, we could not find it. They had given their all to follow us, which made Weng Chunsheng worried.

I could tell his worry, and decided to hand him the first deposits we had received. I saw the tears in his eyes then. He was touched, happy, and he understood what this meant.

He compensated with all our savings, which calmed the villagers down. However, the villagers no longer trusted us and were unwilling to continue farming with us.

A year later, I found out that I was pregnant, and I was ready to tell him the good news. On the night I was planning to share the joy with him, he brought back someone, Yu Meiqiang, the person who had changed me and him.

Mr. Yu told Mr. Weng that he wanted to open up a path for Weng family village so that more people could enter and understand it. He also suggested that Weng family village try to hold a farm banquet to attract more people to the village.

Weng Chunsheng and he hit it off and they talked late into the night. Weng Chunsheng stayed overnight. I did not have a chance to tell Weng Chunsheng that I was pregnant.

I started to realize that something was wrong because Yu Meiqiang had stopped in his tracks. Apart from him and me, I did not see Weng Chunsheng.

A light rain began to fall from the sky, falling onto the ground drop by drop. Spots of different sizes appeared on the ground.

"Where's Chunsheng?" I backed away slowly and began to look around, praying that someone would pass through.

"Fan Lingling, I've finally found you. As long as you're in my hands, your father will have to give me the transportation research in Zun City." The fierce flesh on Yu Meiqiang's face swayed up and down in joy.

I felt nauseous and vomited.

After returning to Weng family village with Weng Chunsheng, I had not contacted my parents for more than a year. My father had been researching the transportation situation in Zun City. He was known as the outstanding transportation expert. However, I did not expect Yu Meiqiang to target me for his research results.

I forced myself to calm down. I was not alone now. I was pregnant. I had to protect my baby.

"Okay, as long as you don't hurt me, I'll call my father for you." I pretended to agree. As long as he let down his guard, I would have a chance to escape.

Yu Meiqiang did not expect me to agree. He smiled and said a few kind words to me, explaining his helplessness.

I sneered in my heart. I only prayed that Chunsheng would find out that I was not at home and come out to find me quickly. That way, I would be safe and sound.

However, before I could wait for Chunsheng to arrive, Yu Meiqiang called a few people over. They actually started touching me.

I immediately flew into a rage and said to Yu Meiqiang, "If they continue to disrespect me, you can forget about getting anything from my father."
