Chapter 106: Chapter 106: I Wish You and Xu Manman a Long Life Together and Countless Descendants!

"Not renting!" Jiang Xingye said flatly, as he patted Qing Xiao’s head, which elicited a howl tinged with impatience.

Xu Hongtu dared to speak up, "Comrade, it’s not your house we’re renting; why wouldn’t you rent it to us?"

Nearby, Qiao Xinyu finally seized the opportunity to speak, "Unfortunately, this house indeed belongs to Comrade Jiang. See? He doesn’t want to rent it to you."

Jiang Xingye gently said to Xu Qinghuan, "I’ll return the rent to you later."

Xu Qinghuan chuckled, "Why give it back to me? I don’t want it."

He smiled, his eyes filled with affection, and said no more, "Just feel like returning it to you!"

Jiang Chengxu felt himself suffocating, wondering since when Xu Qinghuan had stopped smiling in front of him. Even in the past, without Xu Manman being involved, Xu Qinghuan was never this close to him, with his treatment of him only slightly better than that of unfamiliar classmates.

"Qinghuan, your mother still hopes that we can resolve our misunderstandings, express our feelings, and reconsider the annulment. As long as we can reconcile, it doesn’t matter."

Jiang Chengxu bore his heartache and said, "This is also the wish of the two families. If we can marry, we can relocate back to Yan City together in the future. I can return to my family home, and you can live in the same city as your mother."

Jiang Xingye’s heart tightened as he nervously watched Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan chuckled, "Jiang Chengxu, don’t dream anymore. A good horse never returns to graze old pastures. Furthermore, you’re just a barren land. I wish you and Xu Manman grow old together and have endless offspring!"

Jiang Chengxu blocked her path, looking miserable, "How can you forgive me? Manman and I are innocent. Why don’t you believe it? Because of something you think doesn’t exist, you’re able to hurt me like this?"

Xu Qinghuan’s icy gaze swept over his arm, "Jiang Chengxu, I won’t comment on the past. There’s a saying, ’part ways on good terms.’ We’re both adults, and I hope to maintain dignity for each other. Further entanglement is pointless!"

Qiao Xinyu came over and kicked Jiang Chengxu aside, "Have some shame, will you? You think I don’t know? If you’re really clean and innocent, how could brother-in-law and sister-in-law go to the movies alone and snuggle together?

Clean? Do you even understand what the word means?"

Jiang Chengxu angrily said, "Manman fell asleep and leaned on my shoulder. But look at her; as soon as she went to the countryside, she rushed to find a country brute as a partner. Didn’t I tolerate her?"

Xu Qinghuan finding a country brute was Jiang Chengxu’s unbearable pain.

Xu Qinghuan clapped her hands, "That’s great. You can look down on me. I’m thrilled, Jiang Chengxu. I hope henceforth, you avoid me like the plague."

Jiang Chengxu calmed down, "Qinghuan, I’m just speaking hypothetically. I’m clearly stating my position. I don’t mind your acts of defiance, as long as you break up with him soon. He’s not good enough for you!"

Xu Qinghuan said, "If he’s not good enough for me, then you’re not even fit to lick my shoe soles."

The captain’s voice came from afar, "What are you all gathering for? Hurry up and go to work. Do you not want to eat? Being late will cost you work points."

Jiang Xingye grabbed Jiang Chengxu and Xu Hongtu, tossing them out the door, then turned to glare at Xu Manman, "Aren’t you leaving?"

Xu Manman was so scared that she scrambled to run out, clinging to Jiang Chengxu’s side, "Chengxu, what if sister doesn’t forgive us? Does she really want to marry that country brute?"

Jiang Chengxu felt a stab in his heart, "She won’t. She won’t be so foolish. She’s just holding a grudge against me. If I talk to her a few more times, she’ll change her mind."

Xu Hongtu’s face darkened. He couldn’t believe Xu Qinghuan was so heartless. Was she blaming them for everything?

It’s just too inconsiderate. She has been in the Xu Family for so many years, and how has the family wronged her? After Manman’s return, she constantly compared herself to Manman without considering that Manman had wandered outside for fourteen years and endured unknown hardships.

She, on the other hand, enjoyed life in the Xu Family. Shouldn’t they compensate Manman more?

She’s holding a grudge, which is just too senseless!

Xu Qinghuan squatted down to stroke Qing Xiao’s head, and as she looked into Qing Xiao’s eyes, she felt something was off, "Is this not a dog?"

Feeling somewhat alarmed, she turned and hid in Jiang Xingye’s arms. Jiang Xingye hugged her, laughing, "Don’t worry, it doesn’t bite!"

Xu Qinghuan sighed with relief, seeing the wolf wag its tail like a dog and cheerfully watch her. Instantly, she wasn’t scared anymore; she even stood still when it brushed against her pants leg.

"Where did it come from?" Xu Qinghuan curiously asked.

"It’s my buddy, Qing Xiao. I used to live in the mountains for a while, sheltered by a pair of wolf parents. It’s their pup. Earlier this year, it accidentally fell into a trap, and I’ve been nursing it back to health. It doesn’t want to leave."

Jiang Xingye said, "It’s less than a year old, a wolf pup. Let it stay with you; it can protect you."

Jiang Xingye specially brought Qing Xiao from the mountain because the area was quite distant from the other households of the production team. With three female educated youths living together, in case someone sneaked in, the consequence would be unimaginable.

Qing Xiao seemed to understand human speech and nipped at Xu Qinghuan’s pants leg.

Xu Qinghuan loved the furry creature and stroked Qing Xiao’s head, calling out to Yu Xiaomin and Qiao Xinyu, "Xiaomin, Xinyu, I want to keep it. Can I?"

Qiao Xinyu and Yu Xiaomin understood why Jiang Xingye brought the dog here. Having a dog at home made them sleep more peacefully at night, and no girl can resist anything furry.

"Sure, sure!"

Both came forward to greet Qing Xiao, who turned its face away, looking proud, drawing laughter from the two while making them like the "dog" even more.

The commune members gathered at the brigade office, awaiting task assignments. Xu Qinghuan left Qing Xiao outside, and it quietly lay under the shade, its clear eyes curiously observing everything.

Party Secretary Dong Xinmin gave Xu Qinghuan a hard glare, and Dong Aimei gritted her teeth at her sight.

Xu Qinghuan stood with her friends, chatted with those around her, and awaited the task allocation.

"Five days left for harvesting!" Jiang Baohua tapped his pipe, "Our brigade received several educated youths this half-year. More people, more strength. In these last days, strive to clear the cornfield of weeds, then proceed to harvest potatoes and cut wheat.

The small teams will take tasks back to assign. The work isn’t heavy. Just be thorough."

Xu Qinghuan prepared to go with Zhou Guiying, but Jiang Xingye tugged at her clothes to make her stay behind.

This scene fell into Dong Aimei’s eyes, leaving her feeling vengeful enough to want to devour Xu Qinghuan alive, "Educated Youth Xu, are you really dating Brother Xingye?"

Daringly, Dong Aimei asked in front of everyone.

Feeling quite pleased with herself, she thought Xu Qinghuan wouldn’t openly admit it. If she did, she’d be stuck in the countryside forever, never dreaming of returning to the city.

Xu Qinghuan remained silent, looking at Jiang Xingye.

From her eyes, Jiang Xingye found the answer, feeling elated. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with impatience, "My relationship with Educated Youth Xu is none of your business!"
