The Vicious Ex-Wife Stripped Me Bare, and Now the Commander Is Seeing Red Every Day - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Original Heroine, Ye Shiyu

The next day, according to the village chief’s requirements, Lin Ning and Gu Rou arrived at the village entrance half an hour early to welcome the arrival of the other educated youths.

This was her first time meeting the original heroine—Ye Shiyu!

She was a gentle and beautiful girl; Lin Ning recognized her in the crowd at a single glance.

“Rourou, do you see that educated youth wearing the white shirt and sporting braided pigtails?” she whispered close to Gu Rou’s ear.

Gu Rou saw her, but asked: “What about her? Does Sister know her?”

Lin Ning: “Go make friends with her.”

Gu Rou was completely confused: “???”

Lin Ning continued: “Make friends with her, and you’ll get benefits!”

Gu Rou looked at her and asked, “Then Sister, why don’t you go make friends with her?”

Lin Ning frowned, appearing somewhat regretful: “I can’t. If I make friends with her, I might run into bad luck!”

Gu Rou didn’t understand, but that didn’t stop her from standing on her sister-in-law’s side: “Then I won’t go either. What if I run into bad luck too!”

Lin Ning kept trying to persuade her: “You won’t. If you make friends with her, you’ll get benefits.”

Gu Rou had an “I don’t believe you” expression, her entire demeanor radiating refusal.

Helpless, Lin Ning asked her: “Are you going to be obedient?”

Gu Rou nodded: “Yes.”

Lin Ning felt a bit relieved. “Then go make friends with her.”

Gu Rou: “I’m not obeying that part!”

Lin Ning: “…!”

Gu Rou looked at her. “Sister, why do you insist on me making friends with her?”

Lin Ning thought to herself: Because she is the heroine, and she is your true future sister-in-law!

And because she has a ‘koi’ constitution; anyone close to her will be brought good luck!

Of course, malicious female supporting characters are the exception!

Getting close to her would only lead to bad luck!

“Forget it. You’ll understand later. Let nature take its course!”

Lin Ning gave up for the time being. Anyway, as long as the male and female leads ended up together in the future, the benefits for this girl Gu Rou wouldn’t be small!

“Welcome, educated youths, to our Da Liu Village. You’ve had a hard journey. I am the village chief of Da Liu Village. These two are also educated youths who arrived two days before you.”

The village chief stepped forward, greeting the travel-worn youths with a smiling face, not forgetting to introduce Lin Ning and Gu Rou.

Aside from Lin Ning and Gu Rou, a total of ten educated youths arrived this time: five men and five women.

These ten people had traveled on the same train and had already become familiar with each other on the way.

Upon hearing that there were other educated youths already there, they were all surprised and shifted their gazes toward Lin Ning and Gu Rou.

Especially Ye Shiyu; the moment she saw these two female comrades, a surge of familiar yet strange feelings welled up in her heart.

It felt familiar because, since childhood, she would have a premonitory feeling about anyone or anything related to her.

What was strange was that this time, the feeling was very complex!

There was a sense that she should both get closer and stay far away?

This left her momentarily stunned, even more unsure of whether she should approach or keep her distance!

Particularly regarding the exceptionally beautiful girl on the right—the feeling she gave off was the most complicated of all!

Meanwhile, seeing the heroine staring at them, Lin Ning nudged Gu Rou: “Say hello.”

Being pushed suddenly, Gu Rou turned to blink at her once, then faced the ten people with a beaming smile.

“Hello everyone, my name is Lin Rou, and this is my sister, Lin Ning.”

These ten people were all exhausted, their faces showing the strain of the journey as they gave simple responses.

Only Ye Shiyu stepped forward: “Hello, my name is Ye Shiyu, from Yancheng. It’s a pleasure to meet you here.”

Looking at the gentle-smiling girl in front of her, Gu Rou suddenly felt an attractive sense of kinship: “Hello, my name is Lin Rou, I’m from Nancheng.”

Lin Ning watched from the side. Just a moment ago this girl said she wouldn’t do it!

Hah! This is the power of the plot.

“Oh, right. This is my sister, Lin Ning.” She pulled Lin Ning over, her face full of pride during the introduction.

Ye Shiyu didn’t quite understand her pride, but she still smiled when looking at Lin Ning: “Hello, Comrade Lin Ning.”

Lin Ning looked at Gu Rou, who had insisted on dragging her into it, and gave a flat “En!” in response.

Then she followed up perfunctorily: “Hello.”

Gu Rou: “…!”

Ye Shiyu: “…!”

Gu Rou chuckled awkwardly to smooth things over. “Anyway, we live at the end of the village in a courtyard with a persimmon tree. You can come find us to hang out in the future.”

Ye Shiyu froze upon hearing this, seemingly not quite understanding what she meant.

“You… don’t live at the educated youth station?”

Her gaze was surprised, drifting between the two of them, a bit unsure of whom to ask.

“Right! We weren’t quite used to living at the station, so my sister and I rented a house in the village to live in.”

Gu Rou answered very actively. Lin Ning glanced at her—at least the girl had some brains and didn’t spill all the family’s dirty laundry.

Ye Shiyu nodded silently. Her expression was understanding, yet she was even more confused!

Just… not used to it? So they rented a house from the village!

So rich, so willful, so enviable!

Seeing that they were already acquainted and even chatting, the village chief quickly spoke up: “Since everyone knows each other now, let’s have the educated youths go back to the station to settle in and rest! We start work tomorrow morning. Everyone pay attention to the village broadcast; it will inform you where to gather.”

The educated youths had long wanted to go back and rest, so they followed the village chief toward the village.

Right at that moment!

Father Gu, who had been hiding in the shadows, made his entrance according to the original plan.

“Village chief, please, village chief, save a life!” Father Gu was dressed in tattered clothes, leaning on a stick as he stepped forward tremblingly.

When the village chief saw it was him, he felt a massive headache. He scolded: “What are you doing out here? Is this a place you’re allowed to be? Go back!”

As he spoke, he instinctively turned his head to look at the educated youths behind him, only to see that their tired faces were now filled with curiosity!

Father Gu raised his head, his old, clouded eyes looking at him tearfully: “Village chief, my son’s injuries are too severe. Please, village chief, save a life! Please get a doctor for my son!”

The village chief turned his head back, missing Gu Rou’s dumbstruck expression.

Gu Rou grabbed Lin Ning and whispered: “This… why does he look like this?”

Lin Ning glanced at her, signaling her to shut up!

Over there, the village chief pulled Father Gu to the side, looking at him with warning in his eyes. “Who told you to come here? You’re living in a cowshed and still can’t stay put. I’m telling you, these people are educated youths from the city; you can’t afford to offend them. Go back immediately!”

Being guarded against like this, as if he were a heinous criminal, Father Gu suppressed the bitterness in his heart and forced a smiling face: “Village chief, village chief, I just wanted to apply to you to get a doctor for my son. I didn’t know the educated youths were coming; I just wanted to get a doctor for my son…”

His ingratiating manner did not earn him any kindness from the village chief. “What doctor? Do you still think you’re some city master or young lord? Who here doesn’t just recover at home when they’re sick? If it really doesn’t work, find some medicine yourselves. Don’t come looking for trouble for no reason.”

He pointed his finger at Father Gu, his blunt manner making it look like he was about to hit him.

The educated youths watched from behind, and one among them could no longer stand it.

“Village chief…” Ye Shiyu stepped out from the crowd.
